There are many legendary rivalries in sport.
TBILISI: Spain coach Luis de la Fuente insisted he has “blind confidence” in Barcelona teenager Lamine Yamal without revealing if he would make history by playing Friday’s Euro 2024 qualifier against Georgia. The 16-year-old would become Spain’s youngest ever player if he features against either Georgia or Cyprus next Tuesday. But De la Fuenta did not reveal whether the youngster would play as Spain bid to get their European qualifying campaign back on track. “Lamine appeared very good to me watching him on television, but working with him you realize even more his potential. He seems even better,” De la Fuente told a press conference on Thursday. “Currently, he’s a very important player for us, he’s here on his own merit.
BERLIN: Oscar-winning actress and soccer club co-owner Natalie Portman on Thursday praised Spain’s World Cup-winning players, saying they showed great resilience against “harassment, abuse and assault.” Their World Cup victory last month has been overshadowed by the furor over the behavior of Spanish soccer federation president Luis Rubiales, who at the medals ceremony in Sydney grabbed player Jenni Hermoso’s head and kissed her. Hermoso, who says she did not agree to the kiss, on Wednesday lodged a criminal complaint over the matter, which has spiralled into a national debate over women’s rights and sexist behavior.
GENEVA: With billions in prize money to distribute from the revamped Champions League next year, UEFA plans to pay more based on merit and share more among teams across Europe that don’t qualify.
MANILA: Luka Doncic argued with the referees all night. And that’s why he wasn’t around in the final minutes, as Canada clinched a trip to the Basketball World Cup semifinals.
A social media row between Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal fans over which club will play their matches at Al-Awwal Park for the remainder of the season seems to have been resolved, after several days of confusion and ire were followed by the confirmation that Cristiano Ronaldo and co will continue to be the venue’s lone tenants during the 2023-24 Saudi Pro League campaign.
RIYADH: A video has been circulating online showing the American basketball legend LeBron James surrounded by men dressed in traditional Saudi dress — with captions suggesting it was filmed in Riyadh. King James appeared in the video accompanied by bodyguards and photographers in Saudi dress. Sources say that the superstar was invited by Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Sports to visit the country but the ministry has not made any announcement in this regard. James plays for the Los Angeles Lakers and is considered one of the game’s greatest players.
