PSG win 13th French title ahead of Aston Villa Champions League clash

PARIS: Paris Saint-Germain clinched the Ligue 1 title on Saturday with a 1-0 win at home against Angers as they prepare for a Champions League quarter-final showdown with Aston Villa. PSG needed just a draw in front of their own fans to be confirmed as champions again, having started the day a huge 21 points clear of nearest challengers Monaco with seven matches left. Desire Doue’s strike early in the second half decided the game in PSG’s favor, allowing Luis Enrique’s team to take the title with six matches still to play. It is a fourth consecutive Ligue 1 title for the club from the French capital and their 11th in the last 13 seasons, highlighting the extent to which they have dominated domestically since being taken over by Qatar Sports Investments in 2011. “Our ambition is to win everything,” said captain Marquinhos, who has now won 10 titles since joining the club in 2013, to broadcaster beIN Sports. “It is a nice feeling.

Wijnaldum ensures Eastern derby ends all square

RIYADH: The Eastern derby ended 1-1 on Saturday as Al-Qadsiah were held by Ettifaq in what was a blow to their chances of a top-three finish, and a place in next season’s AFC Champions League. Newly promoted Al-Qadsiah took the lead, had the best of the possession, chances and the game in general, but could not get the all-important second goal to kill the contest off, and Wijnaldum ensured that they paid the price in the second half. Al-Qadsiah remain fourth on the Saudi Pro League table, two points behind Al-Nassr and five behind second-placed Al-Hilal.

Fenerbahce’s Mourinho banned for three games after nose grab incident in Istanbul derby

ISTANBUL: Fenerbahce manager Jose Mourinho has been banned for three matches and handed a fine of around 6,000 pounds ($7,734.00) after grabbing the nose of Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk in the Istanbul derby, the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) said on Saturday. The incident occurred at the end of the Turkish Cup quarter-finals on Wednesday, which Mourinho’s side lost 2-1 at home. A mass scuffle had broken out between both sets of players, with the referee sending three players off, two from Galatasaray, and after the final whistle the 62-year-old Portuguese appeared to pinch Buruk’s nose who then fell dramatically to the ground. “Mourinho shall be banned from entering the dressing room and the bench for three official matches,” TFF said in a statement. Mourinho will miss the games against Trabzonspor, Sivasspor and Kayserispor. Fenerbahce are second in the Super Lig, trailing leaders Galatasaray by six points with a game in hand.

Verstappen takes pole for Japanese Grand Prix ahead of Norris

SUZUKA, JAPAN: Four-time world champion Max Verstappen smashed the track record to snatch pole position for Sunday’s Japanese Grand Prix ahead of McLaren’s Lando Norris, as Yuki Tsunoda qualified a lowly 15th in his Red Bull debut. Verstappen clocked a blistering lap of 1min 26.983sec in his Red Bull, 0.012sec ahead of championship leader Norris, with McLaren’s Oscar Piastri third. Verstappen set a new Suzuka track record with his final lap in Saturday’s qualifying, pipping Norris right at the death. “Each session we kept making little improvements, then the last lap was flat out,” said Verstappen, who has won the Japanese GP for the last three years. “In a Formula One car around here is insane. This is a proper highlight for us to be back on pole here.” It was Verstappen’s first pole position of the season. The Dutchman is still looking for his first grand prix win of the new campaign. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc was fourth ahead of Mercedes’ George Russell, with Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli sixth and RB’s Isack Hadjar seventh. Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton was eighth, followed by Williams’s Alex Albon and Haas’s Oliver Bearman. Norris is looking for his second grand prix win of the season, after triumphing in the season opener in Australia. He finished second behind Piastri in China a fortnight ago in a dominant start to the campaign for McLaren. “I’m happy, congrats to Max, he did a good job,” said Norris. “You have to credit something when it is a lap that good that he must have done.
