Boateng pulls plug on planned Bayern internship after opposition from fans

MUNICH: Retired defender Jerome Boateng on Saturday pulled out of a planned coaching internship at Bayern Munich after fans voiced their objection due to the 2014 World Cup winner being found guilty of assaulting a former girlfriend last year. The former Bayern and Germany defender, who played for the club between 2011 and 2021, had discussed a short internship with coach Vincent Kompany. “Following the recent discussion regarding myself, I have decided to focus on my issues such as the A training license.... that is where my focus is,” he said in a social media post addressed to Bayern and Kompany. “Your focus should be solely on the pitch and on extending this 13-match winning run.” Bayern beat Borussia Moenchengladbach 3-0 on Saturday to bag their 13th win from 13 matches across all competitions this season. “I am thankful to the club leadership and you, dear Vincent, for giving me trust and the opportunity to be part of that,” Boateng said. Bayern fans had opposed his planned internship after the player was handed a suspended fine and a warning last year by a Munich court which found him guilty of premeditated bodily harm against his former partner. An online petition, headlined “Setting borders against misogynistic violence: Jerome Boateng should not be allowed back to Bayern Munich” had collected several thousand signatures. The 2024 trial was the third in the bodily harm case. The 37-year-old Boateng, who made 76 appearances for Germany between 2009 and 2018, spent 10 years at Bayern after joining in 2011 from Manchester City where he had been a teammate of Kompany.

Clasico: Raphinha out and Koundé doubtful for Barcelona, Alexander-Arnold back for Madrid

BARCELONA: Raphinha will remain on Barcelona’s injured list and left-back Jules Koundé is doubtful for Sunday’s clasico match, while Trent Alexander-Arnold is ready to play for Real Madrid. Alexander-Arnold was included Saturday on Xabi Alonso’s squad list for the first time since the former Liverpool star hurt his left hamstring in mid-September. That leaves only Antonio Rudiger on Madrid’s injured list. Barcelona were already without Robert Lewandowski, Dani Olmo and first-choice goalkeeper Joan García due to injuries for the big match. “Of course I’d love to have everyone available, the coach and the team would too, (but) those of us who are fit will give everything and fight for the three points,” Barcelona midfielder Pedri González said. Barcelona had hoped to have Raphinha ready Raphinha has been sidelined for a month after injuring his right leg in late September. Coach Hansi Flick had raised hopes about having his winger back in time for the clasico, but those were dashed a day before the trip to Madrid when assistant coach Marcus Sorg confirmed the Brazil international would not be on the squad. That leaves Barcelona without Raphinha and Lewadowski, two of their top scorers. In the same fixture from last season, the two players combined for three goals in Barcelona’s 4-0 win. Sorg said that Spain forward Ferran Torres also may not be ready to start after recently recovering from a muscle strain.

NEWCASTLE: Newcastle secured a much-needed league win thanks to captain Bruno Guimaraes’ 90th minute strike against Fulham (2-1) at St. James’ Park on Saturday. Jacob Murphy pounced on an error by Calvin Bassey to give the Magpies a first-half lead.

PSG return to Ligue 1 winning ways

BREST, France: Paris Saint-Germain won their first Ligue 1 game in three attempts as they beat Brest 3-0 on Saturday thanks to two goals from Achraf Hakimi. The reigning French and European champions regained top spot but Marseille can replace them if they win at Lens in the late kickoff. Vitinha’s deft chipped pass behind the Brest defense set up Morocco international Hakimi to score with a low shot after 29 minutes. Ten minutes later Hakimi exchanged passes with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and fired into the roof of the net at the Stade Francis-Le Ble. Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembele replaced Hakimi halfway through the second half for his first Ligue 1 appearance since he was injured in late September. Romain Del Castillo missed a penalty for Brest in the 59th minute before Desire Doue wrapped up the three points for PSG with a goal late in stoppage time.

Bayern Munich teenager Karl scores again as winning run continues in the Bundesliga

MUNICH: Bayern Munich’s latest star, 17-year-old Lennart Karl, scored again as his team extended their perfect start to the Bundesliga season by racking up their 13th win in a row in all competitions. Three days after becoming Bayern’s youngest-ever Champions League goalscorer, Karl hit a curling shot from outside the box for his first Bundesliga goal, Bayern’s third in a 3-0 win over Borussia Moenchengladbach. Karl again made an impact almost immediately off the bench, after scoring in the fifth minute against Club Brugge on Wednesday. Despite being last in the Bundesliga and reduced to 10 players after a 19th-minute red card, Gladbach stopped Bayern scoring for longer than any other team has this season. Just as frustration seemed to be mounting after a Harry Kane goal was ruled offside, captain Joshua Kimmich got the breakthrough in the 64th minute. Set up by substitute Serge Gnabry, who had just come on, Kimmich’s first shot was blocked but he scored off the rebound. Bayern doubled their lead five minutes later when Michael Olize played a smart pass that gave Raphael Guerreiro plenty of space to score with a low shot. Soon after, Kevin Stöger hit the post with a penalty which could have brought Gladbach back into the game, before Karl’s goal sealed the win for Bayern. Leipzig rout Augsburg Second-place Leipzig kept pace with Bayern, albeit five points adrift, by demolishing Augsburg 6-0.

Sinner sweeps into eighth final of season in Vienna

VIENNA: Jannik Sinner beat Alex de Minaur in straight sets at the Vienna Open on Saturday to reach his eighth final of the year. The Italian downed De Minaur 6-3, 6-4 to record his 12th win in as many meetings with the Australian and will play Alexander Zverev or Lorenzo Musetti for the title. Sinner, 24, is chasing his fourth title of the campaign following wins at the Australian Open, Wimbledon, and in Beijing earlier this month. He is trying to stay in the hunt with Carlos Alcaraz for the year-end number one ranking, with both players in the draw for the final Masters 1000 event of the season in Paris next week. Sinner retired after suffering from cramps at the Shanghai Masters three weeks ago but has yet to drop a set during his run to the final in Vienna, where he triumphed in 2023. He had not even faced a break point at the tournament until meeting De Minaur. Sinner reeled off the first four games in the semifinal before De Minaur clawed a break back, but that didn’t prevent the top seed from taking the opening set. He momentarily allowed De Minaur back into the match in the second set when dropping serve in the sixth game, before breaking again and wrapping up his 20th straight win on indoor hard courts.
