Barcelona drew 1-1 at Real Sociedad last night, to set up a mouth watering final against Real Madrid in April. Barcelona held a 2-0 lead from last week’s first leg, and never looked likely to relinquish it. Barca could have been forgiven for taking it easy, but their goalscorer isn’t one to do things by halves. Lionel Messi scored another wonder goal to add to his collection. He ran from the half way line, beat four Sociedad players on a mazy dribble and then slammed the ball past Zubikarai....

Stoichkov, in an interview with TUDN via Diario AS, looked especially unhappy with Laporta’s comments claiming Barcelona were on track to keep Messi at the club. However, the former Ballon d’Or winner stopped short of naming the club president in his comments.

Upon being asked when he thinks his side will be ready to compete, the Dutchman said,...

Although the move looks highly unlikely, given Barcelona’s current financial climate, it could also be a last-ditch attempt from the Blaugrana president Josep Maria Bartomeu to clean up his heavily tarnished image. Bartomeu has his hands full, as we also know that his board is showing a keen interest in acquiring Argentine centre-forward Lautaro Martinez from Italian club Inter Milan. The 22-year-old has an eye-watering release clause of €111 million, and his employers are in no mood to let him go for even a cent less....

Defender Lenglet has gained many admirers since joining Sevilla from Nancy in January 2017, quickly securing a first-team role under Jorge Sampaoli and remaining a key figure last season, playing 35 times - more than any of his team-mates - in LaLiga. Reports of Barca’s interest were prominent for much of the campaign and there have even been claims the club already have an agreement with Lenglet. While his exit has long appeared almost certain, Caparros insists Sevilla will not negotiate with the Catalan giants....

There’s no doubt that the Ravens’ Lamar Jackson — the league’s reigning MVP — has been the best first-round QB from 2018 and is in line for a mega second contract in the stratosphere of the Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes and the Texans’ Deshaun Watson. Beyond Jackson (No. 32 overall), the Bills’ Josh Allen (No. 7 overall) is well positioned to remain his team’s franchise quarterback. Josh Rosen (No. 10 overall) is already on his third team, the Buccaneers, trying to hang to his NFL career....

Baku first staged an F1 event when it hosted the European Grand Prix in 2016, and the street-circuit race has proved one of the more unpredictable around the world.

Chase Carey, CEO of the Formula One Group, said: “We are very pleased to have renewed this agreement which will see the Azerbaijan Grand Prix feature on the FIA Formula 1 World Championship calendar for many years to come....

Intriguingly, the same study also found that bald Black men were deemed to be no less attractive than those with hair. The study, which was published in the journal, involved two experiments. T. Joel Wade, the lead author of the study from Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, told Newsweek: “We decided to conduct the study because there was a dearth of research examining perceptions of men’s cranial hair that included Black men, and a dearth of research that examined this from a biological (evolutionary theory) perspective....

Bale damaged his calf in a Champions League game against Borussia Dortmund on September 26 – a match in which he scored a stunning goal – and consequently missed two months of action.

The Italian striker, who is currently with Ligue 1 side Nice having previously represented Inter, Manchester City, Milan and Liverpool, has posed plenty of questions to his many bosses down the years. Nice 17/2 to beat Marseille 1-0 Some have been able to eke talismanic efforts out of him, with his form returning during an impressive debut campaign in France last season.

The 21-year-old Manchester City star broke German hearts with a first-half header and sublime strike as Joachim Loew’s inexperienced team — the youngest of the 16 at Euro 2012 — failed to cope with Cesare Prandelli’s street-wise Italians. A late penalty from Mesut Ozil proved no more than a consolation score for the Germans whose 16-year wait for a major title continues. Italy are now into Sunday’s final in Kiev to face defending champions Spain with the Italians bidding to win their first European crown since 1968....

In the post, which Chloe has since removed her name from, she acknowledges that a petition to ban Fortnite is unlikely to succeed. However, she says that “putting restraints” on Fortnite as a possibility that could “help” those with significant others and kids who are playing the game excessively. Chloe doesn’t elaborate on what these restrictions would be, but it seems likely that she is referring to something like a time limit on how long a person can play Fortnite in any given day or something similar....

Lyon (5-77) took five wickets in the first innings of the fourth Test against India in March, and accounted for six in the second innings of the series-opening defeat to the Tigers. Bangladesh were reduced to 85-4 on Monday as their opening four batsmen were trapped lbw by Lyon - the first time such a run of dismissals has occurred in Test cricket. But the tourists failed to build on that promising start in Chittagong, with Mushfiqur Rahim (62 not out) and Sabbir Rahman (66) combining for a sixth-wicket stand of 105 to keep the hosts well in contention....

Mashrafe Mortaza, Tamim Iqbal, Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim have been the four cornerstones of the team but now, the next generation is taking things over. The biggest challenge facing Bangladesh would be the ICC World Test Championship. Though they took giant strides in the limited overs circuit, Bangladesh achieved little success in the longest format of the game.
