Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal has begun the festivities for his milestone 18th birthday with a blend of family warmth and star-studded anticipation. Although the official date of his birthday falls on Sunday, July 13, the young forward chose to begin the celebrations a day early, gathering close relatives and friends for an intimate dinner.

  Marking his transition into adulthood, Yamal received a deeply personal gift in the form of a custom-made Goku-inspired lithograph. The artwork portrays him alongside his mother and brother, symbolising the strong bond he shares with his family. The birthday cake matched the theme, a lavish three-tiered creation flavoured with cream and dulce de leche, and decorated to reflect the same Dragon Ball-style lithograph.

  While the family dinner was private, the main event is expected to be a high-profile affair on the glitzy island of Ibiza. According to COPE, the Barcelona forward has organised an exclusive birthday bash with a carefully selected VIP guest list. Invitations have already been distributed, but the exact venue has been deliberately kept under wraps.

  Reggaeton superstar Ozuna and Spanish pop sensation Bad Gyal have been rumoured as potential performers for the private event, which adds to the buzz surrounding the party. Moreover, guests will not be allowed to bring their mobile phones. This no-phone policy is intended to maintain the exclusivity and privacy of the event, ensuring that moments remain personal and not shared across social media.

  WHAT NEXT FOR YAMAL?

  Even as Yamal gears up for the Ibiza celebrations, his schedule remains tight. Barcelona return to pre-season activities on the same day as his birthday, beginning with medical and fitness testing at the Ciutat Esportiva de Sant Joan Despí. Despite the overlap, the youngster is expected to report for duty along with the rest of the first-team squad. While his big celebration may be unforgettable, his responsibilities as one of Spain's brightest young talents won’t be put on hold.

Bangladesh’s coach has earmarked the batter as a future full-time captain, and said the BCB would ‘make that decision when the right time comes’

Mohammad Isam05-Dec-2023A high-energy group led by a proactive captain. Experienced cricketers putting together important partnerships. A mature bowler growing tactically strong. These are the ingredients that Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusinghe found in the Sylhet Test and wants to work with going forward. He said last month that his real work begins after the World Cup, and a 150-run win against New Zealand is the best possible start.Hathurusinghe noted the intensity Bangladesh showed in Sylhet, which he believes came from many of the players playing domestic cricket in the time leading up to the Test series. He said that the more freedom the players will get, they will get better.”It is a young [team] in sense of experience but they are really good in terms of skills,” Hathurusinghe said. “When they are given the freedom to play, the way they normally play in the NCL [National Cricket League], they play well. This is a good advertisement for our domestic cricket. Seven players from that XI played domestic cricket. You can see their energy on the field till the fifth day. It is not about the outcome. It can vary in cricket. They were still there when the opposition had long partnerships. Those are little signs that I look at. The young team gave their all. The message [to the players] is to do the same thing.”Related

Hathurusinghe felt Najmul Hossain Shanto led the side well in Sylhet, showing the mark of a future leader. He believes that Shanto should be a strong contender to be full-time Bangladesh captain.”Captaincy and leadership are two things,” Hathurusinghe said. “Captaincy was excellent. He was tactically on the mark. He was a step ahead of the game most of the time. Very impressive field placings as well. Sometimes unorthodox, but very effective.”His leadership was excellent. He led from the front with his performance. He was commanding respect, and demanding the standard. I think he has a long future ahead. The decision to appoint him as captain is with the board. They will make that decision when the right time comes. Definitely [a strong contender].”Bangladesh’s foundation in Sylhet was the batting partnerships involving Shanto, Mushfiqur Rahim and Mominul Haque. It took the game away from the visitors, particularly on the third day when Bangladesh took control of the game. “Our second-innings batting was crucial to win the game. We had two 90-plus partnerships. Mominul in both of them.Taijul Islam took a 10-wicket haul in Bangladesh’s Sylhet win•AFP/Getty Images”We could have scored a little more in the first innings but we decided a certain approach when the wicket is good. Things can go your way when you approach it like that. It can sometimes go against you. We played according to the conditions and our plan. I am happy with the performance in both innings.”Hathurusinghe also believes that Mominul and Mushfiqur are involved in helping the young team, particularly in their approach in the dressing room where they ensure nobody really can get complacent. “I can’t see complacency in the team. If I see any action of complacency, I will have one-to-one chat. We had a good chat inside the dressing room yesterday. Strong and experienced leaders like Mushy and Mominul spoke well. I can see there’s no tall poppies in the dressing room.”Hathurusinghe also had special praise for Taijul Islam who took his second ten-wicket match haul. Rangana Herath, the erstwhile spin bowling coach, gave Taijul a lot of tactical advice, he said.”You all talk about him when he does well. We talk about him inside a lot,” Hathurusinghe said. “He is very thorough in his training. Very precise how he wants to prepare. He is a mentally strong person. He goes under the radar because he plays behind a world-class player. Taijul always plays second fiddle to Shakib in most of the games.”He however said Bangladesh cannot expect big wins all the time, especially against teams like New Zealand. Bangladesh will be in a rebuilding phase, now that the likes of Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal have become unavailable for the next couple of months. Long-term injuries to Taskin Ahmed and Ebadot Hossain also mean the fast bowling unit currently lacks a bit of depth.”You can’t turn things around so quickly.” Hathurusinghe said. “If we keep doing things that are right for our team and team culture, results will take care of itself. We won’t win every game. We will try to do that.”We played a complete game [in Sylhet], but it is very difficult to do that against a good team. We have to start from zero again. We are trying to start this game like we started the Sylhet game. Same anxiety, intensity, hope and aim. We have to compete every day.”

Thomas Frank's new club have been working hard to get their man. A Premier League and Champions League victory bonus has been inserted into Kudus' contract in order to get it over the line, according to reports. That negotiation, coupled with a hefty £55m transfer fee, has allowed the north London club to pin down the versatile attacking midfielder days before the start of pre-season.

AFPWHAT NEXT FOR KUDUS?

Subject to Thursday's medical, Kudus is likely to join up with the Spurs squad ahead of their first pre-season friendly of the summer, an away fixture against Reading at the Select Car Leasing Stadium on July 19. Frank's new-look squad is taking shape, with the club also reportedly set to swoop in for Brentford striker Yoane Wissa in the coming days.

Amelia Kerr shone with both bat and ball, while Suzie Bates chipped in with a half-century, as New Zealand took the third women’s T20I against Pakistan by six runs via DLS method.Pakistan, having been inserted to bat, began with a steady opening partnership of 64 inside ten overs. But Kerr provided the breakthrough to dismiss Muneeba Ali, as New Zealand wrested the advantage, and Pakistan proceeded to lose 4 for 31. Sidra Ameen, with 43, was Pakistan’s top scorer, while their captain Nida Dar also contributed a handy 25. But regular strikes from Kerr (3 for 11) and Eden Carson (2 for 20) meant the visitors were restricted to just 137 for 5.New Zealand, having already lost the series, began the chase well, as Bates provided a strong foundation. While her opening partner Bernadine Bezuidenhout fell cheaply for 4, Bates blazed her way to an unbeaten 51 off just 42 balls, stroking five fours. Bates also had able support from Kerr, who smashed a 31-ball 35, as the pair added 63 for the second wicket.Kerr eventually fell in the tenth over, before rain in Queenstown brought the game to a premature end after only 15 overs of the New Zealand innings, with the hosts six runs ahead according to DLS.

يستعد عشاق كرة القدم لانطلاق الموسم الجديد من بطولة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، 2025/26، والذي سينطلق يوم الجمعة المقبل بمباراة على ملعب “الأنفيلد” بين فريقي ليفربول وبورنموث.

كان ليفربول قد حصل على لقب بطولة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، الموسم الماضي، بفضل النجم المصري محمد صلاح.

وتمكن محمد صلاح من الحصول على جائزتي هداف وصانع ألعاب النسخة الماضية من الدوري الإنجليزي، 2024/25، حيث سجل 29 هدفًا وصنع 18.

وكشف الحاسوب العملاق لـ”casinohawks” عن توقعه بشأن هوية هداف الموسم المقبل من الدوري الإنجليزي، والذي سيفوز بجائزة الحذاء الذهبي.

ونشرت صحيفة “ديلي ميل” الإنجليزية، نقلًا عن الشبكة المذكورة، توقعات الحاسوب العملاق والتي تشير إلى كون محمد صلاح لن يفوز بجائزة هداف الموسم المرتقب من الدوري الإنجليزي.

اقرأ أيضًا.. محمد صلاح يتحدث عن صفقات ليفربول.. ويُصرّح: كنت أدعو ألا يفوز كريستال بالاس على آرسنال

وأوضحت أن نجم مانشستر سيتي، إيرلينج هالاند، هو المرشح المتوقع للفوز بجائزة هداف موسم 2025/26 من الدوري الإنجليزي، بنسبة تبلغ 68.3%.

ويأتي في المركز الثاني، محمد صلاح، بنسبة 10.7%، ثم ألكسندر إيزاك لاعب نيوكاسل يونايتد 8%، ولاعب آرسنال الجديد فيكتور جيوكيريس 4.1%.

إلى جانب كريس وود لاعب نوتينجهام فورست، 3.8%، ولاعب تشيلسي كول بالمر 1.5%.

وترى صحيفة “ديلي ميل” الإنجليزية أن تراجع فرص محمد صلاح في الفوز بجائزة هداف الدوري الإنجليزي ربما يعود إلى كونه سيشارك في بطولة كأس أمم إفريقيا رفقة منتخب مصر.

وتستضيف المغرب منافسات كأس أمم إفريقيا، نسخة 2025، في الفترة بين 21 ديسمبر و18 يناير من العام المقبل.

ومن المتوقع أن تصل نسبة غياب محمد صلاح عن ليفربول إلى 6 مباريات، كحد أقصى، حال وصول منتخب مصر إلى المرحلة النهائية للبطولة الإفريقية.

Part two of our BBL previews takes a look at Melbourne Stars, Perth Scorchers, Sydney Sixers and Sydney Thunder

Fixtures Click hereSquad Scott Boland, Joe Burns, Hilton Cartwright, Brody Couch, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Liam Dawson, Sam Harper, Campbell Kellaway, Nick Larkin, Glenn Maxwell, Usama Mir, Jono Merlo, Joel Paris, Haris Rauf, Corey Rocchiccioli, Tom Rogers, Mark Steketee, Marcus Stoinis, Olly Stone, Imad Wasim, Beau WebsterHow the draft wentStars’ gamble to take Harry Brook with their first pick in the draft (having cheekily tried to take Rashid Khan for the second straight year before Adelaide Strikers intervened with their retention pick) backfired. Brook was always set to be unavailable for the last few games of the tournament but his selection in England’s two white-ball squads for the Caribbean in December was not a guarantee at draft time. Once England called, Brook’s BBL was cooked and it left Stars without their star recruit.Related

They also took Stars’ favourite Haris Rauf with their second pick but his NOC from the PCB was very late in being approved after he made himself unavailable for Pakistan’s Test tour, to the displeasure of Pakistan’s new coach and selector. Stars then used their last pick on Pakistan legspinner Usama Mir. There were more established spinners available including Akeal Hosein, however Stars opted for Mir who showed some promise during the ODI World Cup, although he had a very tough day against Australia in Bengaluru.Stars have since added two left-arm orthodox as overseas replacement players with England’s Liam Dawson available for three games while former Pakistan spinner Imad Wasim will join Stars after Christmas and looks a shrewd signing as he will be available for the remainder of the season. England quick Olly Stone is in Australia and has also been training with the Stars squad and could be added as cover for Rauf.How they stack upStars look thin in terms of their overall depth having lost Adam Zampa and Joe Clarke from last season after they finished last with only three wins. But with Glenn Maxwell fully fit and in the form of his life he could single-handedly win them a lot of games early in the season and help the team get on a roll. A lot of the runscoring will fall on his shoulders along with Marcus Stoinis. Sam Harper has found some form in the Sheffield Shield coming off a 66-ball century while Joe Burns has also been in good nick for Queensland after missing the last BBL season with a hamstring injury. Hilton Cartwright and Beau Webster have also been in great Shield form but whether that translates remains to be seen.Opposition sides will certainly look to target Stars’ bowling line-up. Stars have gone bowler-heavy with their overseas picks but the availability issues make that a risky strategy. They are unlikely to see much of Scott Boland due to Test duty. The other new signing Joel Paris has had some injury concerns this year. They’ve also added Mark Steketee but he will miss the first game due to the Prime Minister’s XI match against Pakistan. Maxwell, Stoinis and Webster will be required to do a lot of bowling.Player to watchGlenn Maxwell is always the player to watch. He’s always done something spectacular in the BBL. But he’s never come into a BBL in this kind of form. He’s coming off scoring the fastest ODI World Cup century, the first ODI double-century by an Australian male, and another stunning T20I century in a winning chase in India. On top of that, he is bowling as well as ever, having been a vital part of Australia’s World Cup title with the ball as much as with the bat. If he’s not physically and mentally fatigued, he could have an enormous BBL.Availability issuesRauf is due to arrive in Australia on Wednesday, 24 hours before the first game and with Pakistan set for a white-ball tour of New Zealand starting on January 12 the PCB have only approved his NOC for five games up until December 28. He may only play in four if he is rested for the season opener. Mir has also been approved for five games with the PCB wanting to limit his workload ahead of the New Zealand series. Dawson is only signed for the first three matches but Imad’s presence after Christmas should provide the Stars with some stability for the final eight matches. Boland is unlikely to be available for the whole season.Three in a row? Batting and pace bowling looks strong for Perth Scorchers, but spin raises questions•Cricket Australia/Getty Images

Coach Adam Voges
Fixtures Click hereSquad Ashton Agar, Jason Behrendorff, Cooper Connolly, Zak Crawley, Stephen Eskinazi, Laurie Evans, Aaron Hardie, Nick Hobson, Josh Inglis, Matthew Kelly, Mitchell Marsh, Hamish McKenzie, Lance Morris, Jhye Richardson, Ashton Turner, Andrew Tye, Sam Whiteman, Liam HaskettHow the draft wentReplicating what they did in the BBL draft a year earlier, Scorchers passed on their platinum pick. They selected Zak Crawley at pick 16 on the back of his spectacular Ashes campaign in an important signing after the departure of opener Cameron Bancroft. They also selected middle-order batter Laurie Evans, who was player of the final in BBL11 but did not play last season after his contract was terminated following a positive doping test.How they stack upScorchers are the BBL’s powerhouse having claimed a record five titles. Their latest challenge is to become the first team to win a hat-trick of titles having fallen short of the feat in BBL05. They will start as arguably the team to beat with Scorchers again backing their talented core of local players.There will be some tweaks with Crawley replacing Bancroft at the top, while WA Shield captain Sam Whiteman has returned after two seasons with Sydney Thunder. A three-time title-winning player with Scorchers, Whiteman has been in good white-ball form in the Marsh Cup and is also the back-up wicketkeeper to Josh Inglis. Top-order batter Stephen Eskinazi was a late signing having been part of last season’s triumph. Scorchers boast a formidable middle order led by Inglis, allrounder Aaron Hardie and captain Ashton Turner.Their pace bowling is stacked with Jhye Richardson and Lance Morris having returned to domestic cricket from injury layoffs, but Matt Kelly – a key bowler at the death – remains on the sidelines with a quad injury and is expected to miss the early rounds.An area of concern for Scorchers is their spin options with left-armer Ashton Agar likely to be unavailable for the start of the season due to the calf injury that ruled him out of the World Cup. Left-arm wrist spinner Hamish McKenzie, who recently made his first-class and List A debuts, is also on the sidelines due to a stress fracture in his back. Scorchers lost legspinner Peter Hatzoglou, who signed with Hobart Hurricanes having been an important member of the squad and he was particularly valuable on the slower wickets on the east coast.Player to watchWith Scorchers’ spin stocks severely tested, allrounder Cooper Connolly might just be able to fill the breach. While his powerful batting is a bit more advanced, as he memorably showed in last season’s BBL final, Connolly’s slow left-arm orthodox bowling is more than useful and he can tie up an end in the middle overs.There has been much anticipation over Connolly, 20, after his heroics in last season’s BBL made him a fan favourite. After making his List A debut to start the domestic season, Connolly was in line for a Shield debut until he suffered a toe injury during a freak boat accident. But he’s returned and has opened the batting in the Marsh Cup to underline his versatility. Connolly feels primed to be the type of breakout player that Scorchers seem to unearth almost every season.Availability issuesCrawley is part of England’s ODI and Test squads to India meaning his availability is limited to around six games, while Evans will be available for the regular season before flying off to the UAE’s ILT20. Allrounder Mitchell Marsh is in a battle with Cameron Green for the number six Test position making his status for the BBL unclear for the time being. Morris is part of Australia’s first Test squad against Pakistan as he eyes an international debut and will likely be around that group for much of the season.Sean Abbott is regularly one of the leading performers in the competition•Getty Images

Chris Jordan was another who they could have retained. “We know what Tom brings,” Shipperd said. “He’s a great team player, we think he’s got fight in him because he’s been injured for a couple of seasons now and he’s on his way back to his very best form.” They also selected England legspinner Rehan Ahmed at bronze but his call-up to England’s ODI and T20I squads for the West Indies has put paid to his stint given the limited number of games he would have been available for.How they stack upThey retain a very experienced core built around the likes of Sean Abbott and Moises Henriques who have been central to Sixers’ success over the years. They will hope that Josh Philippe’s lean red-ball season does not impact his T20 form and that he can reform a strong pairing with Vince at the top of the order (although Steven Smith will slot in for at least one game). The club will be looking for Todd Murphy to step up in the spin department after they didn’t re-sign Nathan Lyon and with Steve O’Keefe at the backend of his career.Player to watchJack Edwards produced some eye-catching Sheffield Shield performances early in the season and if he can have a similar breakthrough in T20 he has the makings of a valuable all-rounder player, particularly the power he could bring the bat. So far the format has been a struggle with 357 runs at a strike-rate of 104.08 in 29 matches and he has yet to bowl a ball. With Dan Christian’s retirement, there is a spot for a young allrounder to step up.Availability issuesCurran and Vince both have ILT20 deals and that tournament overlaps with the BBL finals. Among their domestic players, Smith will play the opening game against Renegades and the club hope also the Sydney derby on January 12 between his Test commitments. Elsewhere they shouldn’t be hit by international calls unless Murphy is needed. Abbott is unlikely to push for a Test spot unless there is a spate of fast-bowling injuries.David Warner should be available to Sydney Thunder after his Test retirement•Getty Images

He made 245 runs in nine matches last season, at a strike-rate of 141.61, and overall is their second-highest run-scorer behind Usman Khawaja. He should be available for the full regular season. They then took Pakistan quick Zaman Khan at gold as a death-bowling option before passing on the final two rounds.How they stack upThey feel like a bit of a tricky side to read, but if their big names fire they certainly have the makings of a powerful outfit. The role they give Cameron Bancroft will be interesting and they will hope that Ollie Davies’ fractured finger picked up in the Sheffield Shield doesn’t sideline him for too long – he has the potential to be a gamechanger in the middle order. Liam Hatcher’s move from Melbourne Stars bolsters the pace attack while Nathan McAndrew has enjoyed a stunning run in red-ball cricket.Player to watchTanveer Sangha had to watch the entirety of last season from the sidelines after a stress fracture of the back wiped out his summer. That followed two campaigns where he had shone, taking 37 wickets at 17.89 and an economy of 7.52. But he has returned to action in the last few months and shown his skills at the international level with 4 for 31 on his T20I debut against South Africa. He looks primed to be the future of Australian spin bowling across formats.Availability issuesDavid Warner won’t be available until after the Pakistan Test series, but his retirement from the format opens up a window for him to play the latter part of the tournament. There still remain some questions marks as to when he will take up his ILT20 deal. That brings with it the prospect of him opening with Bancroft, who has signed from Perth Scorchers in one of the big off-season moves, although Bancroft may be Warner’s Test replacement and leave the tournament as he arrives. Daniel Sams is expected back from his Abu Dhabi T10 stint in time for the opening game.

Weverton espalmou para o meio da área, e Jonathan Cafu aproveitou a sobra para marcar.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  After 25 years at Bayern, Muller has already played his last game for the club, having become a free agent this summer. In recent years, MLS has emerged as a place for global football superstars and currently has the likes of Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, Luis Suarez and Jordi Alba featuring in the competition. With LAFC showcasing their interest in Muller for a long time, it is now up to the 35-year-old whether he decides to set sail for the USA, but Tillman hopes to see the veteran join him soon.

• WHAT TILLMAN SAID

  Tillman said in an interview with BILD: "I would highly recommend this to him. The quality of life in Los Angeles is extremely high. And the MLS is also very exciting. American soccer has improved significantly. At the Club World Cup, it was clear that clubs like us or Inter Miami can definitely compete with the top clubs from Europe and South America. We drew 1-1 with Flamengo and were even on par with Chelsea (0-2) for a long time. This development will continue in the coming years around the next World Cup in the States in 2026. During my time here, I've observed how more and more young people are playing soccer outside instead of basketball. I think it's really cool to be a part of this growth."

Graças a Deus, hoje, pudemos coroar esse entrosamento de ter feito a tabela que saiu o gol para dar esse título de presente à nação, que merece muito – disse.

+Gabigol decide mais uma Libertadores pelo Flamengo e fica a poucos passos de Zico

Rodinei é um dos jogadores que subiram de produção com o retorno de Dorival Júnior ao clube carioca. Antes contestado, o lateral tem tido atuações convincentes ao se destacar, sobretudo no apoio. Querido por todos, viu sua temporada ser coroada ao cobrar o pênalti decisivo do tetra da Copa do Brasil, contra o Corinthians.

+Campeão da Libertadores pelo Flamengo, Dorival fecha ano com marca histórica na América do Sul

Neste sábado, mais uma vez esteve envolvido em uma jogada que fez a nação rubro-negra se emocionar. Feliz e com a sensação do dever cumprido, Rodinei se firma como titular absoluto e dá a volta por cima. Ao seu lado, Everton Ribeiro, com quem tem feito boas tabelas, mostra qualidade para sonhar com a Copa do Mundo.

Após o título, o Flamengo terá mais quatro rodadas para finalizar o Brasileirão e já começar a pensar no Mundial de Clubes. O Rubro-Negro terá novamente a oportunidade de tentar o bi, que escapou em 2019, quando foi derrotado pelo Liverpool. Desta vez, o clube europeu que disputará a competição será o poderoso Real Madrid, da cria do Ninho: Vini Jr.

Queensland saw through the opening session without loss before the rest of the day was washed out

AAP28-Nov-2023Matt Renshaw’s search for a pivotal innings in his quest for a Test opening berth was undermined by persistent rain at the Gabba against Western Australia.Renshaw was unbeaten at lunch on 37 with opening partner Joe Burns 19 not out, but that was as far as they got on day one of the Sheffield Shield clash.The visitors won the toss and bowled. Renshaw was confronted with overcast skies, a pitch with a green tinge and a quality pace attack.It was just the test the Australian selectors would have wanted for Renshaw and he started his innings with aplomb. It was tough early with pace bowler Jhye Richardson finding his groove on return from a dislocated shoulder.Cameron Green, who is looking to push for a return to the Test side, sent down four overs for five runs.Renshaw left the ball well, rotated the strike nicely with Burns and played one sumptuous pull shot through midwicket to the boundary off Liam Haskett. He had the demeanour of a man prepared to settle in for a long innings.The 27-year-old is vying with Western Australia’s Cameron Bancroft and Victoria’s Marcus Harris to replace David Warner at the top of Australia’s order for the opening Test against the West Indies in January. Warner will retire after the third and final Test against Pakistan in Sydney.Renshaw will not be hanging his hat on a gritty 30-odd and with the forecast improved for the final three days of the Shield match he has the opportunity to post a big century.The three Shield games in progress that stated on Tuesday are the last of the calendar year but Renshaw, Harris and Bancroft will all get another key opportunity to impress Australian selectors next week when they represent the Prime Minister’s XI against Pakistan in Canberra.
