AC Milan’s 2024-25 Serie A season began in a dramatic way as they battled from two goals behind to draw 2-2 at San Siro against Torino on Saturday night. Preseason wins over Manchester City, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Monza had fans dreaming, but it quickly turned into a nightmare in what was a very lethargic and at times sloppy performance until the final few minutes. The first Torino goal came in bizarre circumstances as Malick Thiaw failed to clear a ball off the line, while Duvan Zapata got the second for a Torino side also having their debut under a…

Milan’s 2024-25 Serie A season could hardly have begun in a more dramatic way as they fought from two goals behind to draw 2-2 at San Siro against Torino on Saturday night.

Angel Reese could have performed better in Chicago Sky’s first game since the WNBA All-Star break. However, the All-Star recorded two rookie records in a losing effort vs. the Phoenix Mercury. The veteran-led Mercury won 85-65, led by gold medalist Kahleah Copper’s 29 points. Reese recorded her 18th double-double of the season during the blowout with 11 points and 15 rebounds.

Max Verstappen has revealed how a daring overtake he performed at Spa-Francorchamps in 2015 got him in hot water with Red Bull chief Helmut Marko. Verstappen‘s first year in F1 had some eye-catching moments as the 17-year-old set out to impress the world, with one particular moment at Blanchimont resulting in a successful and sensational overtake that was too much even for Marko. Verstappen had been given the nod to race for Red Bull‘s junior team Toro Rosso in 2015, where he was partnered with Carlos Sainz. The Dutch driver duly impressed over the course of the year, with the 17-year-old…

Alvaro Morata has admitted that he was hoping to be able to celebrate a win in his first competitive game for AC Milan, and also insisted that a ‘change of mentality’ is needed. When Morata got his first goal for the club late on to give the home fans something to cheer, it looked like being a mere consolation. Musah had a shot blocked, then Reijnders let fly and the Spanish striker was on hand to redirect the Dutchman’s attempt into the bottom corner. However, Noah Okafor would then pop up with a volley in added time to complete the comeback from…
Los Angeles Lakers All-Star center Anthony Davis was snubbed out of FIBA’s Best Defensive Player accolade in the 2024 Paris Olympics. The award was instead given to Aleksa Avramovic of Serbia. Avramovic was Serbia’s No. 3 guy, following Nikola Jokic and Bogdan Bogdanovic. Avramovic played an average of 19.9 minutes per game but tallied 10 steals at the Olympics. The guard is regarded as a defensive specialist. In a roster full of stars, Davis played a subtle role on Team USA, but his efforts off the bench were crucial in securing a gold medal. LeBron James, Stephen Curry and…
The office occupied by the head football coach at Alabama has gotten a makeover. Kalen DeBoer’s office in the Mal Moore practice facility has quite a different look than when occupied by Nick Saban. Alabama football’s official X account posted photos from former NFL defensive lineman J.J. Watt’s visit this week. Gone is the wood paneling. Now, the space appears to have new furniture, more glass and as, well, more contemporary. Saban has a new office in Bryant-Denny Stadium to use when he’s in Tuscaloosa. “I’m going to have a presence,” Saban said in January. “I’m going to stay in Tuscaloosa. They’re…
