Howe glad Newcastle kept hold of ‘complete package’ Osula
LONDON: Newcastle manager Eddie Howe on Tuesday backed William Osula to become “the complete package,” expressing his relief the striker did not leave the club on deadline day. Eintracht Frankfurt were reportedly poised to complete a move for the 22-year-old in the transfer window, but Newcastle called off talks. Osula has enjoyed more game time than expected this season, albeit it largely as a substitute, after big-money signing Yoane Wissa suffered a knee injury on international duty. “Obviously it didn’t happen and much to our relief it didn’t happen because Yoane picked up an injury and Will is vitally important,” Howe said when asked how close Osula came to leaving St. James’ Park. “We believe in his talent.
Champions League winner PSG made nearly $1 billion in club-record revenue last season
PARIS: Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain generated club-record revenue of 837 million euros ($976m) last season. The figures released by the club on Tuesday include 175 million euros in matchday revenue and 367 million euros in commercial revenue, with six new partners joining the club. The figures encompass the men’s and women’s soccer teams as well as handball and judo teams. By comparison, revenue for the 2023-24 season was 806 million euros, which was the third highest in European soccer. PSG’s men’s team won the domestic double and clinched the Champions League for the first time by routing Inter Milan 5-0 in the final, giving the club’s Qatari investor QSI the trophy they craved after taking over the club in June 2011. The club were valued by Forbes at $4.6 billion in May, placing them seventh among the world’s most valuable soccer teams. Real Madrid led with $6.75 billion, followed by Manchester United ($6.6 billion) and Spanish champion Barcelona ($5.65 billion). However, low television revenue in Ligue 1 and the Parc des Princes stadium’s 48,000-capacity — considerably smaller than other leading clubs in Europe — were hampering further financial growth for PSG. The Parc des Princes was owned by Paris City Hall and Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo does not want to sell the stadium to the club, which hoped to buy it and expand it rather than go elsewhere. “Our door is always open to expanding the Parc des Princes, which is owned by the City of Paris,” Hidalgo told Le Parisien newspaper in June.
Real Madrid defender Carvajal expected to miss a couple of months after knee op
MADRID: Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal has undergone arthroscopic surgery and is expected to be sidelined for a couple of months. Madrid said on Tuesday the surgery on his right knee was successful. The club did not give an official timetable for Carvajal’s recovery but he was expected to be out for two to three months. Carvajal replaced Federico Valverde in the 72nd minute of the 2-1 win against Barcelona in the La Liga clasico on Sunday. Carvajal played until the end but complained of knee pain afterward. It was only the eighth appearance for the veteran right back this season.
Dodgers star Ohtani hits two homers, ties record with 4 extra-base hits in World Series Game 3
LOS ANGELES: Shohei Ohtani homered twice and tied a 119-year-old major league record with four extra-base hits in Game 3 of the World Series on Monday night, putting on yet another historic postseason show at Dodger Stadium. After his four-hit barrage in the first seven innings, Ohtani drew five consecutive walks in this epic extra-inning World Series game, making him the first major leaguer in 83 years to reach base nine times in any game, let alone the postseason. Ohtani led off the bottom of the first with a ground-rule double to right field. He followed with a solo homer to right in the third inning off Toronto starter Max Scherzer and added an RBI double in the fifth off reliever Mason Fluharty during a tying rally for Los Angeles. Ohtani then hit a tying solo homer off Seranthony Dominguez with one out in the seventh.
Brendan Rodgers resigns as Celtic manager
LONDON: Brendan Rodgers resigned as Celtic manager on Monday, the club announced, after the Scottish giants’ lacklustre start to the season. The club said former boss Martin O’Neill and former player Shaun Maloney would take charge of the team until a permanent successor is appointed. Rodgers’ second spell at Celtic ended after Sunday’s 3-1 Scottish Premiership defeat at Hearts left them eight points adrift of the Edinburgh side. “Football manager Brendan Rodgers has today tendered his resignation” and “will leave his role with immediate effect,” Celtic said in a statement. “Brendan leaves with our thanks for the role he has played during a period of continued success for the club and we wish him further success in the future.” The club added that the search for a replacement was already underway. “We are pleased that during this interim period former Celtic manager, Martin O’Neill and former Celtic player, Shaun Maloney have agreed to take charge of Celtic first-team matters,” it said. Rodgers, 52, returned for a second spell at Celtic Park in 2023, winning successive titles, to add to his league triumphs from 2017 and 2018. He previously managed Swansea, Liverpool and Leicester and arrived at Celtic for the second time in June 2023 to succeed Ange Postecoglou. The Northern Irishman had been at Celtic between May 2016 and February 2019, completing successive league and cup trebles. His first season in charge saw Celtic finish with a record 106 points and become the first Scottish side to complete a top-flight season undefeated since 1899. Rodgers continued Celtic’s domestic supremacy by winning league titles in the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons and also lifted the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup. But clouds were
Atletico win at Betis to bounce back from Arsenal drubbing
SEVILLE, Spain: Atletico Madrid earned a solid 2-0 win at Real Betis on Monday to move fourth in La Liga and bounce back from their Champions League thrashing by Arsenal. Diego Simeone’s side lost 4-0 last week in north London but put that defeat behind them with a strong display at La Cartuja stadium, where Betis are playing on a temporary basis. They were able to record only their second clean sheet in their last nine games across all competitions and their first away win of the season. The coach’s son Giuliano Simeone opened the scoring with Alex Baena netting the second before half-time. “This is an important win, hard-fought, and I’m happy,” Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak told Movistar. “I hope we continue like this, away from home, not just at home...
