The current Super Bowl champion with the Philadelphia Eagles, DeVonta Smith, has arrived in Madrid to enjoy Spanish culture and spread his passion for American soccer.
In addition, he was able to experience watching a Real Madrid match at the Bernabeu and witnessed his favorite player live: “Mbappe”. “It was good. It was fun. It was a great experience. As I learned more about it and got more involved, I was learning the rules and that kind of thing,” said DeVonta
And in that same stadium, the home of the Madrid team, on November 16 this year, a NFL game will be played between theWashington Commanders and theMiami Dolphins. “I think it’s going to be good. I think it’s good for the players to understand the support they have in other countries. Just to come here and realize that they have fans everywhere. I think it’s great,” said the Eagles wide receiver
The support that Spanish fans give to their teams is incredible
DeVonta Smith did not hesitate to attend MARCA on a day when he had fun with the boys and girls of several teams from the Community of Madrid in flag football, an Olympic sport in Los Angeles 2028. “There are a lot of people who play flag football. I think it’s a great sport. It’s a great opportunity for everyone to come out and be a part of the Olympics,” said the American
His stay in Spain is coming to an end, but he has had time to soak up the Spanish culture. “The fans are really very involved. It’s amazing the support they give to their teams and all that… they are very committed to everything they do,” and he adds that he loves paella.
The NFL season does not begin until September 5, but he told MARCA that he would not play for any other team than the Philadelphia Eagles.

What’s next for Celtics after Jayson Tatum injury and season-ending loss to Knicks?
NEW YORK — When Jaylen Brown fouled out late in the third quarter Friday night, the Madison Square Garden crowd sent him off with waves goodbye.By then, the Celtics’ season was essentially over. Less than two weeks after they began the second round as overwhelming favorites, they were mashed by the Knicks 119-81 in a Game 6 debacle that Derrick White said “went left pretty quick.”AdvertisementWithout Jayson Tatum, who ruptured his Achilles tendon in Game 4, the Celtics trailed 64-37 at halftime and fell further behind after that. After picking up his sixth foul, Brown trudged toward the bench, knowing he hadn’t done enough to extend the series another game. He was crushed to lose the chance to earn a second consecutive championship but didn’t feel any differently about his team.“It was an honor to share the locker room with […]
Even without Carlos Correa, Byron Buxton in lineup, Twins extend winning streak to 12 games
MILWAUKEE — Carlos Correa is out with a concussion. Byron Buxton remains in concussion protocol, though the indications are that he’s not great, either. Even Willi Castro exited Friday’s contest with a right knee contusion.In just 36 hours, the red-hot Minnesota Twins lost three of their most important position players. But with the way Twins pitchers are throwing the ball, it doesn’t seem to matter who’s in the lineup.AdvertisementJoe Ryan continued his string of excellence and that of the overall pitching staff Friday night, striking out nine over six scoreless innings as the Twins extended their major-league-best winning streak to 12 games with a 3-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field. The Twins offense provided Ryan with three early runs, and he and three relievers made it hold, striking out 16 batters in a five-hit shutout that […]
‘We’re not done:’ After blitzing Boston in Game 6, it’s time to ask — why not the Knicks?
NEW YORK — Head coach Tom Thibodeau made his expectations clear back in September. Yes, the Knicks had just won 50 games, finished with the second seed in the East and made it to the second round of the playoffs. But that was last year.This year’s Knicks would need to integrate new pieces — would need to develop new habits, forge new bonds. You don’t just respawn at the same point you ended at last year; if you want to get to the promised land, you can’t skip any steps.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“It's a long grind, and you prepare for that, and I would think that you begin with the end in mind,” Thibodeau said at Knicks media day. “What’s it going to take at the end for us?”It’s tempting to say that it’s going to take exactly what they got on Friday […]
What did Paige Bueckers reveal in her WNBA rookie debut?
DALLAS — Napheesa Collier texted Paige Bueckers Friday morning. From one UConn champion to another, Collier wished the rookie well. “Good luck tonight!” Collier wrote. “Don’t do too much against us, wait till your next game.”Waiting isn’t in Bueckers’ DNA. As someone who has suffered through major injuries and been forced to sit out a full season of her college career, she never takes a single game for granted. And the ultimate respect she could give a fellow Huskies alumna was competing her hardest and trying to bring the best out of Collier.AdvertisementCollier, in her seventh season, brought her A-game. Bueckers, in her first WNBA contest, still has room to grow to reach that level, finishing with 10 points on 3-of-10 shooting. But the rookie was happy to finally get an important milestone out of the way in Dallas’ 99-84 […]
Phillies pay tribute to ‘POOP’ scoreboard before a wild win over Pirates
<!--> The beginning of Major League Baseball's Rivalry Weekend series between the Philadelphia Phillies and Pittsburgh Pirates was also an ending of sorts. Before the season, NBC Sports Philadelphia announced it was changing the Phillies' logo on its scorebug from the letter "P" to "PHI."Normally, that would not be a story worthy of headlines. But by doing so, the broadcast deprived fans of a simple pleasure in life: seeing a "P00P" scoreboard whenever the Phillies faced off against the Pirates. On Friday night, the network decided to pay tribute to that "gone but never forgotten" scorebug. "It was more than just a scoreboard. It was a legend," Phillies announcer Tom McCarthy solemnly read. "An unforgettable icon. Its name, once met with chuckles, quickly became synonymous with good times and fierce rivalries. As the final out arrives on its bright and brilliant run, […]
A crise da CBF em atos: entenda a novela de 8 anos que levou ao afastamento de Ednaldo Rodrigues
Ex-zagueiro e capitão da seleção brasileira: Lúcio é internado em Brasília após sofrer queimadurasPodcast Toca e passa: Diego Ribas admite que influenciava companheiros negativamente quando ia para o banco, mas destaca mudança no Flamengo Embora a decisão tenha sido motivada por indícios de fraude num documento, o afastamento de Ednaldo é parte de longa novela de quase oito anos que hoje é difícil de ser vista em toda a sua dimensão. Por isso, para compreender a queda do cartola é preciso voltar no tempo. O começo de tudo Em março de 2017, a CBF, então presidida por Marco Polo Del Nero, alterou suas regras eleitorais numa assembleia da qual só participaram as federações estaduais. A medida levou o Ministério Público do Rio (MPRJ) a entrar com ação para anular as decisões e afastar a cúpula da entidade. Antes que o […]
