Bayern Munich win eighth women's Bundesliga title
BERLIN: Bayern Munich became women's Bundesliga champions for the eighth time, and fourth in a row, after a 3-2 win at Union Berlin on Wednesday. The victory took Bayern an unassailable 15 points clear of second-placed Wolfsburg, who could only manage a 0-0 draw Werder Bremen. With the scores level at 2-2 late on, Bayern looked set to drop points for only the second time in the league this season, but substitute Giulia Gwinn struck in the 84th minute to snatch victory and the title for the visitors. Edna Imade and Barbara Dunst also got on the scoresheet for Bayern, while Union's Sophie Weidauer and Lia Kamber scored for the hosts in front of a crowd of 13,220 in the German capital. Next up for Bayern is their Champions League semi-final first leg against Spanish giants Barcelona in Munich on Saturday. "This is absolutely incredible," Dunst told reporters, before adding: "We have another big match coming up in the next few days, so we're taking it easy for now. We'll save it for later. Gwinn said the side would celebrate with some "good music -- and maybe a shandy or two." The victory, which came three days after the men's team won the Bundesliga with four games remaining, demonstrated Bayern's dominance of the German game. Both Bayern's men's and women's sides remain on track for a treble, a feat which has never been achieved in European football. Bayern's men go to holders Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final next week. Bayern's women face rivals Wolfsburg in the German Cup final.
Court confirms Neymar corruption acquittal over Barcelona transfer
BARCELONA: Spain’s Supreme Court on Wednesday announced it had confirmed the acquittal of Neymar and former Barcelona presidents of corruption charges centered on the Brazil star’s 2013 transfer to the Catalan giants. Brazilian sports investment firm DIS initially took legal action in 2015, saying it lost out financially on Neymar’s transfer because it owned 40 percent of his sporting rights when he was a young prospect at Santos FC. DIS said the true value of the deal had been obscured by those involved and that it was not informed of the existence of an exclusivity contract in 2011 between Neymar and Barcelona. But a Spanish court acquitted all defendants — including Neymar, his parents and former Barcelona presidents Josep Maria Bartomeu and Sandro Rosell — of corruption and fraud in a highly publicized trial in 2022. Santos, its former president Odilio Rodrigues Filho and N&N — the company founded by Neymar’s parents to manage his career — were also cleared. DIS appealed the verdict, but the Supreme Court said “the proven facts have revealed the inconsistency of the accusation.” “There was neither an offense of corruption in business dealings nor improper fraud, neither by the player, his representatives nor FC Barcelona,” the court said in a statement. “It was all due to a sporting decision by the club, which wanted to ensure his signing and then decided to bring it forward,” it added, with several rival teams coveting Neymar at the time. DIS was seeking to recover 35 million euros it claims it was cheated of. Barca said the transfer cost 57.1 million euros, with 40 million euros paid to N&N and 17.1 million to Santos, of which 6.8 million was given to DIS. Prosecutors had initially sought a two-year jail term and
