In LaLiga, Real Madrid swapped flair for pragmatism to get a big win on the road against a strong Villarreal side, and Juventus showed their class in Serie A with a big victory over struggling Napoli that puts them back in touch with the top four. Plus there was more panic for Liverpool, as they lost at Bournemouth with a last-gasp goal that bumped them out of the top four.

It's Saturday morning, and news breaks shortly after the Premier League kickoff window; another member of your community has been brutally killed in the streets by ICE. There are already a few videos on social media, depicting multiple angles of the grotesque scene. This killing, like the one before, has felt inevitable because of the actions of the federal government, and in spite of the diligence and peaceful pushback by you and your neighbors.

But once in a while big transfers are made outside of the plastic clubs. One such example is the free transfer of Edin Džeko to 2. Bundesliga leaders Schalke 04. Under the new sporting management of Frank Baumann, the club have managed to convince the 39-year-old former Manchester City player (and Bundesliga champion with Wolfsburg in 2009) to return to Germany for the first time since leaving Wolfsburg in 2011.

American forward Jordynn Dudley, a two-time NCAA champion with Florida State University, has signed for Gotham FC, a source with knowledge of the deal confirmed to ESPN.

Dudley was named an All-American all three years of her college career, marking the first time an FSU player has earned the honor three times.

"We've felt so much recognition, that was so nice. You can really feel the appreciation. "It's incredible. When I came here in 2021 I never expected it to be like this. It's been so special. To be so accepted here and the journey we've been on, to be an honourary dame, is hard to describe what an honour it is."

Nani has enjoyed a glittering career after emerging from the Sporting CP youth system. Following a similar path to Cristiano Ronaldo, he left Sporting for Manchester United in 2007 and enjoyed eight years at Old Trafford, winning the Premier League four times and the 2008 Champions League. He had a nomadic spell after leaving United with stints at Fenerbahce, Valencia, Lazio, Orlando City, Venezia, Melbourne Victory and Adana Demirispor before joining Amadora.

From the prestige of Europe's elite stadiums to the gritty history of the FA Cup, there is plenty here to keep your brain ticking over. We'll start with a look at the modern giants of London. We want to see if you can name whether these 20 players played for Arsenal, Chelsea, both or neither. This isn't just a test of the high-profile cross-city moves, but a challenge to remember those fleeting stints that might have slipped under your radar over the years.

funny, kind, humble and proud man

Blatter's endorsement of Pieth's comments comes in the wake of the death of a second US citizen, Alex Pretti, last weekend. The World Cup is due to be hosted by the US, Canada and Mexico from 11 June to 19 July. What we are seeing domestically the marginalisation of political opponents, abuses by immigration services, et. hardly encourages fans to go there, Pieth said in an interview with Swiss daily Tages-Anzeiger last week.

Leeds may have felt pressure after Nottingham Forest and West Ham closed the gap over the weekend but showed no discernible sign of nerves at Everton. Daniel Farke's visitors claimed a well-earned point at Hill Dickinson Stadium following a dominant first half display. It could have been much more but for the David Moyes changes that turned the tide Everton's way in the second half.

"One thing is clear: the most important thing in football is what the coach does with the team," declared Bayern's Head of Nutrition. "Nutrition is a supportive little gear. Our task is to integrate scientific findings into everyday life. Not too big, but in such a way that they support the goal," Carstensen said.

Colchester United hosted the Brazilian over the weekend with local reports claiming the ex-Stamford Bridge striker is interested in buying the club. Alexandre Pato spent much of his career overseas but did represent Chelsea briefly during the 2015/16 season, whilst on loan from Corinthians. The 36-year-old hung up his boots in 2023 after spells in Spain, China, Brazil and the United States and is reportedly worth upwards of 100 million.

The hosts took the lead after just 12 minutes at Alinma Bank Stadium at King Abdullah Sport City, with Kante teeing up Aouar for a volley in the box, and the Algerian made no mistake with his volley on the turn. Al-Okhdood goalkeeper Samuel Portugal was determined to keep the scoreline at 1-0 heading into the break, keeping out a long-range effort from Danilo Pereira before denying Karim Benzema and Mahamadou Doumbia in quick succession.

The board had gone up at the Ciutat de Valencia stadium on Friday night when Elche embarked upon a move that could have come from a cartoon or a console, the final scene in a film. Escape to Victory only more so, it started the way Michael Caine planned it, all arrows and crosses and ping-ping-ping, and finished the way Pele actually played it: a picture of perfection which earned them a 2-2 draw in the derby at Levante.

Besiktas have paid 11.2m to Roma for Tammy Abraham - as the Turkish club prepare to sell him to Aston Villa. The striker had a medical on Saturday having travelled to the UK on Friday after Villa agreed an 18m deal with the Super Lig side. Besiktas had an obligation to buy in the loan deal which took Abraham from Roma last summer and did not want to sell him, but are reluctantly allowing Abraham to return to England.

On Monday, David Neres underwent surgery on his left ankle in London. The operation was a complete success. The Napoli player will rest for a few days and will then start his rehabilitation programme. Vanja Milinkovic-Savic underwent medical exams at Pineta Grande Hospital, which revealed a strain of the biceps femoris in his left thigh. The keeper has already started his rehabilitation programme.

"This David and Goliath mentality that exists here with the community and the team is fun," Fowler told BBC Radio Lincolnshire. "You can't compete with the big dogs by doing things the way they do it. You have to come up with a different way of doing it. "The expression I've used for years is 'keep on changing the game until you find one you can win'."
