The Paris-based club has looked solid in every department and manager Tuchel will be hoping his side continues with the momentum. The French champions won their first leg round of 16 Champions League game against Manchester United on February 12 with a 2-0 scoreline, in what was considered one of their best performances of the entire season. The team put up a spirited performance even though key players such as Neymar and Edinson Cavani were out due to injuries....

WWE pulled off one of the most entertaining main events in its company’s history on Raw Monday Night and it had fans white hot for Sunday’s Survivor Series pay per view. Unfortunately for those that were looking forward to the champion versus Champion match between Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey, it now appears it won’t be happening. According to Fightful.com, two sources are claiming that Becky Lynch is suffering from a concussion after the brawl on Monday Night Raw and is thus being pulled from Survivor Series as a result....

With the Championship now over and only the playoffs remaining to decide the final promoted team, which players could make the step up and succeed in 2018/19? Whether they come up via one of the promoted teams or if they’re signed by an existing Premier League side, it’s worth keeping your eye on these five players. #1 Jack Grealish After a bit of a sticky start, Steve Bruce’s Aston Villa side finished the season relatively impressively, ending up in 4th position – a huge improvement on last year’s 13th place finish....

Manchester City currently sit on top of the table and Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham are closing in on them. Manchester United too have jumped in the table to come to the seventh position while Arsenal have gone down to fifth. Gameweek 12 gets underway in the Premier League on Saturday with Cardiff City taking on Brighton in the first match of the weekend. The most important match of the weekend is the Manchester derby to be held at the Etihad Stadium in a late kick-off on Sunday....

It was a bold statement to make in 2014, but it highlighted the fact that ‘playing in goal may look fun but it is a painful art that is much misunderstood.’ At 40 years of age and the Italian National team not qualifying for this edition of the World-Cup, Buffon’s dream and a chance at the sought-after trophy is all but over. However, the World-Cup is a proving ground for every player who wants to make a name of himself, to outshine everyone in the field and rise to the occasion of their nation’s call....

Ronaldo is now chasing Ali Daei’s record for the most goals scored in international football. In 175 games for Portugal, the Juventus man has 107 goals. We look at 5 footballers who could possibly chase down his very impressive record at the Euros. Honorable mention: Erling Haaland Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland is the hottest commodity in world football right now.

Dinesh Karthik was replaced by Eoin Morgan as the skipper, a move many felt should have taken place immediately after the Englishman was signed by KKR in the IPL 2020 auction. Although there was more than enough talent in the squad to make the playoffs, inconsistency cost them dearly. Sunil Narine’s ineffectiveness at the top of the order, failure to nail down a fixed batting position for Morgan and Andre Russell’s inability to make the starts count were some of the many problems that prevented KKR from making the final four....

However, with a possible move to Barcelona being discussed, there is no guarantee that he would see out his contract. While the extension of the contract is a piece of good news for Chelsea, it is high time that they groomed one of their players to take over the leadership. The club finds itself in a bit of turmoil with owner Roman Abramovich facing sanctions. It may be sold to a new owner by the end of the season....

Making a transition from limited-overs cricket to Tests does not come easy and there are many instances of successful ODI and T20I players failing to perform in the longer version of the game. However, there are a few players who did well in Test cricket after spending a considerable amount of time in the shorter versions of the game Here are 5 popular cricketers who made this successful transition:...

The tour kicked off with a 3-match T20I series, where the home side emerged victorious 2-1. The Indian side won the ODI series by the same scoreline. It will be interesting to see if the visitors can win at least one series this time around. The 2022 India vs. West Indies series will start tomorrow with an ODI game at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Both teams have stacked their squads with some marquee names....

That was because Juventus’ Serie A dominance was a given; but Sarri, much like his predecessors Massimiliano Allegri and Antonio Conte, failed to land the much-coveted Champions League, a competition Juventus haven’t won in more than two decades. However, what was more surprising was the choice of the man who replaced the veteran coach at the Bianconeri helm: former player Andrea Pirlo, who was just ten days into his first managerial job as the coach of Juventus’ Under-23 team before being given the reins of the senior team....

The YouTuber-turned-boxer started the fight on the offensive as he jabbed away at Woodley, who seemed content to let Paul gas out. Although Paul tired significantly and was rocked badly in the fourth round, he held on for the win as Woodley generated very little output in what has become an all-too-familiar pattern. Post the fight, which saw scorecards of 78-74, 77-75 and 75-77, Paul and Woodley exchanged words and appeared to make a deal to fight each other in a rematch....

No longer the top bantamweight in the UFC, Dominick Cruz has now become a major target for up-and-coming fighters wanting to make a name for themselves at 135lbs. At the age of 36 and with countless injuries behind him, it’s likely that Dominick Cruz only has a handful of fights left in him – making it a sensible idea for the UFC to try to have him “pass the torch”....

During its three incarnations, it has gone from being greatly hyped to becoming a pre-show match as the buffer between two main events. It’s a vicious cycle and it needs to be broken, especially when you consider that it’s supposed to be a tribute to one of the greatest Superstars of all time. With winners like Cesaro, Big Show and Baron Corbin, it would appear on the face of it that the tradition has been well honoured since its inception back in 2014....

This is Asuka’s first stint with the title as she has previously challenged Charlotte Flair and Carmella for the said title on multiple occasions but failed. Her loss to Charlotte at WrestleMania 34, which ended her undefeated streak, put the Empress on a downward spiral where a lost a plethora of tag team and singles matches. Asuka’s win at TLC is a clear indication that the company has big plans for her going into WrestleMania 35....

There’s no denying that the Phenomenal One’s versatility as a performer has earned him a reputation of being the last of his kind, with legions of fans calling him a perfect blend of Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, and Bret Hart. While Styles did have a hard road before garnering popularity, his current role in the WWE is speaking volumes of the management’s trust in him and what he brings to the table....

Even with a very unfortunate withdrawal from the main event, this is guaranteed to be a barn-burner. So without any further delay, here’s how things might go down at NXT: Takeover, Brooklyn. #5 Velveteen Dream vs. EC3 Two of the most eccentric talents in NXT are going head-to-head for the first time. While EC3 isn’t quite the athlete like Ricochet or Aleister Black, he’s definitely good in the ring and has a great understanding of his character....

Jersey numbers were initially introduced for players to have distinct identities on the pitch for the ease of the referee. It has developed into a much bigger marketing concept now with players feeling the urge to wear the more special numbers on their back. On most occasions, footballers in the Premier League are assigned the numbers based on their roles. Jersey number 36 is rare in the Premier League Dele Alli is the latest man to have taken this number....

While players do get paid the big bucks to play the game regardless of the conditions, it is important to acknowledge that they are human beings too, at the end of the day. Football in the COVID-19 era has been a hard watch, with a handful of players suffering without having thousands of fans cheering them on in stadiums. Aside from runaway leaders Manchester City, the rest of the teams have had their fair share of troubles to deal with this season and are unlikely to look back on the 2020-21 season fondly....
