Olmo has caught the eye in Croatian domestic football and carried his form into the Champions League, with a host of Europe’s top clubs scouting him. He began his career in Barca’s youth ranks but left La Masia as a 16-year-old for a surprise switch to Zagreb. There he has blossomed to such an extent he earned a first cap for Spain in November and scored on his debut....
Valverde enjoyed two successful spells in charge of the Greek club, sandwiched in between a brief stint with Villarreal, winning the Greek title three times and also adding the cup in two of his three seasons at the helm. Now with Barcelona, the group draw has provided the experienced Spaniard with the chance to go head-to-head against a club that is still close to his heart. “It’s an emotional game for me, as it will be when we play there....

Van Basten says diving and simulating injury is “not a good attitude” and works against Neymar and his team. The Netherlands great suggests “if you are acting too much I think everybody will understand that it’s not going to help you. I think he personally should understand his situation.” Neymar was calculated to have spent almost 14 minutes on the turf injured or simulating injury during Brazil’s five World Cup games, sometimes dramatically rolling over on the ground before coming to a stop....
The 66-year-old has been out of the game since he was relieved of his duties at Manchester United and replaced by Jose Mourinho in 2016, a year before his contract expired. The Dutchman had previously achieved Champions League, UEFA Cup and Eredivisie success at Ajax before going on to win league titles at Barcelona, Bayern Munich and AZ, and guided Netherlands to a third place finish at the 2014 World Cup....
During the game, Jefferson’s wife, Samaria Jefferson, went into labor and had to be escorted out of SoFi Stadium on a stretcher. However, she had made one request to the Rams before the Super Bowl: if she goes into labor during the game, do not tell her husband until afterward. The team kept their promise. Minutes after defeating the Cincinnati Bengals in the biggest game of the NFL season, Jefferson reportedly rushed out of the stadium to the hospital where his wife had been transported....
The recent will-he won’t-he speculation surrounding the future of Robin Van Persie has become something of a déjà vu scenario for Arsenal fans. Yet again a player has an excellent season and the vultures begin to circle overhead. The striker has been with the London club for several seasons, but a remarkable 2011-12 campaign has put the Dutchman in the same situation as several others have been in recent times....

Erik Lamela had the ball in the net early in the match, but saw his goal chalked off as referee Paul Tierney went to the video assistant who cited a foul from Fernando Llorente in the build-up. Heung-Min Son put Spurs ahead after 24 minutes and had the chance to double the lead shortly after when VAR gave the hosts a penalty, but another controversial decision saw his stuttered spot kick deemed unlawful....
Recently, however, I had the kind of frank talk with a non-believer that reminded me a) why these chats do not, as a rule, yield anything but bad feeling and b) why I agree with Michael Newdow, the California physician who sued to have the phrase “under God” stricken from the Pledge of Allegiance. In Chicago the other night, I met an old school friend for a late dinner. She’s a lawyer now, with two young kids, and as we talked about our families, she said how much she envied me my faith–or as she put it, my “ability to make that leap of irrationality....
The defender did not make it to the 16-member squad for the Olympics at first. But when the International Olympic Committee (IOC) allowed teams to have two more players, owing to the coronavirus scare, Varun Kumar’s name was included as an alternate athlete. Varun Kumar was part of the 2016 Indian junior hockey team when they won the World Cup. He also played an integral part in India’s 3-1 win over Argentina in the group stages of the Tokyo Olympics....
Carvajal was forced off in Madrid’s 2-1 victory in the first leg last week because of a hamstring issue, meaning winger Vazquez had to drop back into a defensive role. He will occupy that position once more at the Santiago Bernabeu as Madrid look to move a step closer to a third successive Champions League triumph. Marco Asensio, who scored the winner at the Allianz Arena after replacing Isco at half-time, also starts....
Sony’s Venom 2 over-performed at the box office despite it releasing exclusively in theaters and not on a streaming service at the same time, as was the case with many tentpole projects during the pandemic. The film also did well at debuting the villainous Carnage in a live-action film. Venom 2 also had a post-credits scene that teased a very cool outcome for fans of the Marvel universe.

Williams entered the competition as a wildcard but, despite breaking twice in the opener, lost her own serve on three occasions as Collins took the first of three set points to go ahead. Two concessions of serve followed for Williams as Collins raced into a five-game lead in set two, but the 39-year-old rallied to survive two match points and force a tie break. But despite squandering a further two match points, world number 35 Collins eventually prevailed to set up a second-round tie with defending champion Aryna Sabalenka....
Verlander is the model of longevity and consistency, and his ninth-inning strikeout of Shohei Ohtani on Wednesday truly demonstrated the six-time All-Star’s prowess. The 35-year-old struck out Japanese star Ohtani three times in the duration of his shut-out victory, but his third was the one which truly mattered. It was important because it was the 2500th strikeout of his career. Verlander is ranked 33rd on the all-time strikeout list after throwing 200 or more innings in 10 seasons....
The Belgium international joined Barca from Arsenal in August 2014 but has seen his time at Camp Nou severely hampered by injuries. Vermaelen last started in the league for Barca on January 23, 2016, in a 2-1 win at Malaga, and spent the 2016-17 season on loan at Roma. But he is back in the XI for the the Liga leaders’ trip to second-placed Valencia, marking just the eighth league start of his Barca career....
Reports this week surfaced suggesting Verstappen has a performance clause inserted into his contract, which will allow him to hold talks with other teams if he fails to win a race by the Hungarian Grand Prix at the start of August. Verstappen’s manager Raymond Vermeulen revealed there is a clause in his deal during an interview with Dutch website Formule 1, without offering specifics of the terms. “We confirm that there is a performance clause in the contract,” he said....
Leclerc looked set to claim his maiden Formula One win at the Red Bull Ring, but the Ferrari driver was passed by Verstappen on lap 69 of 71. Verstappen’s win was under investigation after a clash of wheels with the Frenchman in a dramatic end to an eventful race, at a track where he was also victorious last year. Leclerc was clearly unimpressed with the way the Dutchman overtook, but it was down to the stewards to decide the outcome....
