Milan got off to a perfect start, taking the lead in the 1st minute through Santiago Giménez after an assist from Malick Thiaw. However, their advantage was short-lived as the Italian side struggled to break down a disciplined Feyenoord defence. The match took a turn in the 51st minute when Milan’s Theo Hernández was shown a second yellow card, reducing the hosts…
Feyenoord reached the last 16 of the Champions League on Tuesday after a 1-1 draw at 10-man AC Milan which took them past the seven-time kings of Europe 2-1 on aggregate. Julian Carranza thumped home the winning header in the 73rd minute at a frigid San Siro, cancelling out Santiago Gimenez’s first-minute opener for Milan and sending the Dutch through to meet either Inter Milan or Arsenal. Argentine attacker Carranza struck for Feyenoord shortly after coming on as substitute as the away side pushed to reach the next round, while Milan struggled following Theo Hernandez’s sending off early in the…
Jayson Tatum is just 19 years 26 years young, soon to be 27 in March. Somehow, he ended up on “Shaq’s OG” team for the All-Star Game, an ensemble of the league’s aging icons. He and Jaylen Brown were the only players under 30 to be on the roster. The next youngest was 31-year-old Anthony Davis, who was actually replaced by 32-year-old Kyrie Irving. Jalen Brunson, who is 28 years old, ended up playing for “Kenny’s Young Stars,” the team meant to represent the younger, up-and-coming players. So, why was Tatum labeled an “OG” despite Brunson being older than him?…

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback situation is taking center stage this offseason. With Russell Wilson and Justin Fields both hitting free agency, the market will play a major role in determining their futures—both in the league and in Pittsburgh. While both quarterbacks have expressed strong interest in returning to the Steel City for 2025, only one is likely to be invited back. The popular choice is Fields, given his affordability, youth, and immense upside. However, if the Steelers are truly looking to go all in with their veteran roster, there have been growing rumors linking them to seasoned quarterbacks like Aaron…
After the game between AC Milan and Feyenoord, with the latter prevailing on aggregate, Sergio Conceicao shared his thoughts with the media. He took on full responsibility for the disappointing outcome. Milan took the lead after less than a minute through Santiago Gimenez, who’s now on three goals in the last four games, and they continued to create chances after that. Before they could grab a second, however, Theo Hernandez was sent off for a simulation (second yellow). Naturally, that changed the game and Feyenoord were able to find the crucial equaliser. Speaking to Sky Italia after the game, as…
The NBA switched from a single All-Star game to a mini-tournament featuring three shorter games. Jayson Tatum says he has mixed feelings about one particular part of the format. The 24 NBA All-Stars were spread across three teams, and a fourth team, the winning of Friday night’s Rising Stars tournament, was added to the mix. The Rising Stars are comprised of first and second year NBA players. Tatum’s team, Shaq’s OG’s, won the title. Their matchup with the Rising Stars champs was actually much closer than the championship round against Chuck’s Global Stars, which featured Nikola Jokic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and…
Former Milan director Zvonimir Boban eviscerated Theo Hernandez after the costly red card in the Champions League play-off with Feyenoord. ‘He’s been doing this for years, it’s indecent and unsporting.’The left-back was already on a yellow card for a futile foul in midfield, which would’ve ruled him out of the next game anyway. He then ran into the box after a give and go with Rafael Leao, but went down without contact from Givairo Read, receiving the second booking for simulation. It proved costly, as the Rossoneri crashed out of the Champions League 2-1 on aggregate. Boban, who is a…
Former Feyenoord forward Santiago Gimenez continued his scoring streak in the Champions League this season — but this time against the Dutch club. Gimenez, who moved to AC Milan from Feyenoord last month in a 30 million euro ($31 million) transfer, scored for the Rossoneri after just 40 seconds of the second leg of their Champions League knockout playoff on Tuesday. The 23-year-old Mexico international held up his hands in apology after heading in from close range. It was Gimenez’s sixth goal in seven Champions League matches this season, but all the previous goals had come for Feyenoord. He has…
