Hay decisiones que a la larga se pagan y es lo que le está pasando al Real Madrid. Pensar que se podía sobrevivir a la temporada más larga que se recuerda sin Carvajal y Militao quizás era demasiado optimista. Pensar que se podían ganar los tres títulos más importantes lanzando a los jugadores al campo como si fueran fichas, cambiando constantemente de posición a Valverde y Tchouaméni, también. Designar a Vinicius como el primer lanzador de penaltis también se está empezando a pagar. Y así, una larga lista de errores de la que el Bernabéu ya estaba avisando con sus toques de atención y de la que no se pueden librar los jugadores, que en muchos casos también han pensado que podían ganar LaLiga caminando.
Ante el Valencia, los blancos dijeron adiós al título de Liga salvo que al Barcelona le entre una pájara que es muy poco probable. Es una cuestión de hambre.
Vinicius no es el mejor lanzador de penaltis
Pensar que Vinicius es el mejor lanzador de penaltis de la plantilla, por delante de Mbappé, es engañarse así mismo. No hay nadie en el Real Madrid que lance los penaltis mejor que Kylian, por mucho que haya fallado dos esta temporada. Mbappé, recordemos, marcó tres goles de penalti al Dibu en la final de un Mundial. Experiencia como para tirar un penalti al Valencia en el Bernabéu tiene.
Debe dar un golpe de timón Carletto, dejarse de experimentos con Vinicius y nombrar a Mbappé primer lanzador por una sencilla razón: es el mejor. Y si falla, que falle. ¿Alguien discutía a Cristiano Ronaldo como lanzador en el Madrid? Pues falló 14.
Diakhaby se da una alegría
Hace poco más de un año, Diakhaby sufrió una gravísima lesión de rodilla que hizo temer incluso por su carrera. Se la produjo ante el Real Madrid en un choque con Tchouaméni, que le ha acompañado durante todo este tiempo en su recuperación. 330 días tardó en volver y en el Bernabéu se pegó el gustazo de ser protagonista marcando el gol con el que el Valencia abría el marcador.
Se marcó otro incomprensible en propia puerta, pero la posición de Mbappé en fuera de juego le echó un cable.
Fran González, dos goles en contra y una parada
Debutó Fran González y se convirtió en el quinto portero más joven en estrenarse con el Real Madrid. Y como todos sus predecesores, ni dejó la portería a cero ni consiguió la victoria. La realidad es que el canterano pasó de puntillas por el partido. Le metieron dos goles de cabeza, uno en un córner mal defendido por la defensa y otro en una contra. Solo hizo una parada, de mérito tras un rebote en el área. No fue el debut soñado.
Mamardashvili firma un partidazo
El portero georgiano hizo uno de sus partidos que no se olvidan. Lo paró casi todo, incluido el penalti a Vini, y dejó LaLiga en bandeja al Barcelona. Mamardashvili dejó nueve paradas en el Santiago Bernabéu, siendo héroe hasta el último minuto con un paradón a Rüdiger en el 96′.
Camavinga, ni de inicio ni como revolución
El Madrid ha perdido esta temporada a Camavinga, que apenas suma un par de partidos buenos. El francés fue clave la temporada pasada y el mejor agitador en cursos pasados, pero este año no funciona ni de inicio ni cuando sale desde el banquillo. Ante el Valencia no aportó nada cuando saltó al terreno de juego para buscar la remontada.

USMNT needed a Gold Cup opener like this to begin deflating the drama
SAN JOSE, Calif. – The U.S. men’s national team wasn’t immune to the negativity building up around the team — both from the on-field results and the off-field drama.For that reason, the Concacaf Gold Cup group opener against Trinidad and Tobago carried more pressure than it might have otherwise. And it’s why the U.S.’s dominant 5-0 win also felt that much sweeter. It allowed the Americans to enjoy some smiles and a bit of respite from the pressure – and let them avoid dropping five straight matches for the first time since 2007.AdvertisementAs manager Mauricio Pochettino said, it “cut the negative results” and gave the U.S. a chance to start building something with the 2026 World Cup on home soil now less than a year away.“A difficult match, especially given the negative things that had happened in recent weeks,” Pochettino said.

2025 U.S. Open: Hardened by time, J.J. Spaun’s unrelenting toughness is what Oakmont required in a champion
OAKMONT, Pa. -- The toughest man in golf won the toughest test in golf. Make no mistake about it, amid a week that was meant for only the big and brawny -- the titans of the game -- J.J. Spaun proved you need more than just physical gifts and an impressive résumé to be named a U.S. Open champion at Oakmont Country Club.The 2025 U.S. Open was indeed billed as one strictly for the brutes and the beasts -- bombers only, short hitters stay home. With the world's best entering the third major championship of the season in form, room for an outsider was pushed to the corner in the standing room only section. That's where Spaun was located, much taller than his 5-foot 9-inch stature suggested.In what was only his second career U.S. Open start, Spaun started his trek […]

Shohei Ohtani returns to pitching: Dodgers star back on mound Monday in unique role after elbow surgery
Shohei Ohtani is returning to the mound. Ohtani will pitch on Monday, serving as the Dodgers starter against the Padres for his first pitching appearance since 2023. Ohtani, who had elbow surgery nearly two years ago, will pitch as an opener, per manager Dave Roberts. He recently threw 44 pitches in a simulated game."He's ready to pitch in a big-league game," Roberts told reporters Sunday night. "He let us know." Ohtani won National League MVP honors and was part of the World Series championship lineup last season, but Monday will mark the two-way superstar's first pitching appearance with the Dodgers. The last time Ohtani pitched, 2023 for the Angels, he went 10-5 with a 3.14 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 167 strikeouts in 132 innings. His last appearance on the mound was Aug. 23, 2023 -- 664 days before Monday.Ohtani has a 3.01 […]
Josef Newgarden flips but OK after wild INDYCAR wreck
Bob Pockrass FOX Motorsports Insider <!--> MADISON, Ill. — Josef Newgarden was not seriously injured after his car went upside-down and skidded along the surface Sunday night at World Wide Technology Raceway.Newgarden t-boned Louis Foster, whose car was spinning and sliding down the track after an accident. Pinched up next to the inside wall, Newgarden’s car launched in the air and then skidded on its car.Both drivers were seen and released from the infield medical center.Hard accidents are not rare for the 1.25-mile oval, commonly known as Gateway, located outside of St. Louis.
