Juventus’ hopes as dark horse title challengers in Serie A took a blow today as the Italian giants dropped points at home to 13th-placed Bologna on Saturday. Juventus will be disappointed in drawing Bologna 1-1, but it could’ve been worse as a 95th minute equalizer from Dusan Vlahovic salvaged a point for the Old Lady.
Vlahovic’s late goal was one of the rare times where the assist was better than the goal itself. Check out this Álvaro Morata bicycle kick assist.
Liverpool had a comfortable 90 minutes at Wembley Stadium on Saturday in the FA Cup semifinal vs. Manchester City. The final four minutes of stoppage time weren’t so comfortable as a late City push made for an exciting 3-2 finale victory for Liverpool.

MANCHESTER — Cristiano Ronaldo's 50th club career hat-trick and second Premier League treble of the season earned below-par Manchester United a 3-2 victory over Norwich City on Saturday.

Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann opened up at a press conference on Friday about the hatred and threats he received after his side fell to underdog Villarreal in the Champions League on Tuesday.
The Nagelsmann death threats on social media are abhorrent and the evil “fans” leaving these comments went as far as threatening his mother.
Nagelsmann said the threats certainly don’t make his job and life easy.
There's nothing better than a well executed slow burn.
El progreso de la Liga MX Femenil es innegable, sin embargo, si existe algo que los equipos mexicanos necesitan de manera urgente para seguir desarrollándose es la oportunidad de ganar roce internacional.
Concussions are a big topic in American sports with strict protocols in place to avoid athletes suffering severe head injuries. Hell, America has an entire movie literally called “Concussion.” FIFA and UEFA don’t appear to be on the same wavelength as head injuries aren’t taken too seriously. A Phil Foden head injury in the Champions League vs. Atlético Madrid was a prime example.
Un día después, el sublime pase de Luka Modrić que encarriló la clasificación del Real Madrid a las semifinales de la Champions League continúa dando vueltas en mi cabeza. Sinceramente, perdí la cuenta de las veces que lo vi y estoy seguro de que no soy el único dándole y dándole al play.
