Head coach Paulo Fonseca made some changes to the starting line-up that played in New York against Manchester City, with Malick Thiaw coming in for Matteo Gabbia, Mattia Liberali occupying the playmaker role and Marco Nasti up front. Milan made a very positive start to the game and could have taken the lead inside four minutes through Samuel Chukwueze. A loose pass inside the Real Madrid box fell to the Nigerian winger, whose low shot was well saved by Courtois from a central position. Three minutes later, another chance was spurned by the Rossoneri. This time a flowing attack saw…
As La Gazzetta dello Sport report, Milan’s one summer signing so far is Alvaro Morata and he will take up Olivier Giroud’s legacy, while Strahinja Pavlovic should be the next to arrive from Red Bull Salzburg to replace Simon Kjaer in the squad, at least numerically. There has been a lot of talk about Emerson Royal who seems close, Youssouf Fofana whose situation has descended into a saga, and Lazar Samardzic who feels like a ‘cherry on the cake’ signing at the moment, but Fonseca’s mission is to raise the levels of existing assets too. There is a big…
Ba’Roc Willis has announced a verbal commitment to Alabama. Willis is a sophomore at Moody High School in Alabama and is a member of the 2027 recruiting class. He currently holds offers from Alabama, Auburn, Florida State, LSU and others. He is the first 2027 prospect to commit to Alabama. The Tide were able to sell Willis on their future Sunday when he visited. “It was the staff,” Willis told Touchdown Alabama. “I had a relationship with (Freddie) Roach, (Kalen) DeBoer and Courtney Morgan. They showed a lot of love yesterday, let me know that they wanted me, and it…
There’s no doubt that Luka Doncic is one of the best players in the entire NBA. Doncic led the NBA in scoring for the first time in his career last season, and arguments were made that Doncic was robbed of winning the 2023-24 MVP. Doncic seemingly used not winning MVP as motivation in the 2024 NBA Playoffs, and led the Mavs to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2011. Even though the Mavs didn’t prevail to win the Finals against the Celtics, Doncic will still be an elite player for years. However, there is one problem that a…
To say that Angel Reese has been enjoying her time away from basketball during the WNBA Olympic break would be an understatement. The Chicago Sky rookie has been soaking in the festivities in the Paris Olympics as she offers her support to the best American athletes competing in the Summer Games. Reese is also making sure to get her share of fun under the sun. On Tuesday, the former LSU star posted a new set of photos of herself on vacation. This time around, the 22-year-old showed off her curves in a daring two-piece silver bikini. It appears that Reese…
The Crimson Tide is getting down to business today with new head coach Kalen DeBoer. Fall training camp is getting underway a month ahead of Alabama’s college football season opener against Western Kentucky. That game against the Hilltoppers could give Tide fans a clue about how DeBoer’s first season will go after he replaced Nick Saban as head coach. Offensive Lineman Tyler Booker spoke with the press during SEC Media Days. He says the current team is the most unified he seen since joining the Tide… “Just because we’ve been through an experience together. I’m not gonna say a traumatic…
The Baltimore Ravens are bringing a former Pittsburgh Steelers draft pick back to the AFC North, signing edge rusher Quincy Roche, the team announced. The move came after the Ravens place defensive end Malik Hamm on Injured Reserve due to a knee injury. To make up the roster spot, they’ll bring in Roche, who’s spent time with the Steelers, New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings throughout his short career. At 26-years-old, Roche joins the Ravens with 17 games of experience at the NFL level. All with the Giants, he’s collected 40 tackles, 2.5 sacks five tackles for loss and a…
Milan are still seriously interested in a move for Tammy Abraham and the Roma striker has given his green light for a move to Paulo Fonseca’s side. The Rossoneri already picked up Alvaro Morata earlier this month from Atletico Madrid in a deal worth around €13m, but they’re still open to the idea of picking up a new striker to add a little more firepower to the frontline. In the meantime, Roma are pushing to agree a deal with Girona for Ukrainian Artem Dovbyk, who’ll surely take on the starting spot from Tammy Abraham, pushing the Englishman to consider a move away. West…
After his Mercedes teammate’s car was disqualified from the race, Lewis Hamilton, who had won the Belgian Grand Prix, said he had “mixed feelings” and showed sympathy for Russell. Conversely, Russell called his disqualification for an underweight car after the race “heartbreaking”. The British pair had earlier crossed the finishing line nose-to-nail in a gripping conclusion to the race at Spa-Francorchamps on Sunday having adopted different pit-stop strategies. Russell, who risked on a risky one-stopper after running only fifth through the first stint, gained track position behind Hamilton, who had dominated the race for the first half of the race…
The Orioles had been starting rookie Connor Norby at second base, where Holliday is anticipated to start. Hours before the trade deadline on Tuesday, he was traded to the Miami Marlins for left-hander Trevor Rogers, along with outfielder Kyle Stowers. Jorge Mateo, who was placed on the disabled list last week due to a dislocated elbow, had been replaced by Norby. Mateo split time with Ramon Urias and Jordan Westburg, who share time at third base. After soaring through the minor league ranks, Holliday—the first overall pick in the 2022 draft—was called up on April 10 to become a member…
