Barça has a prime opportunity to defeat its archenemy for the third time this season. The first two were convincing wins: 4-0 in October for La Liga play, then 5-2 in January for the Spanish Super Cup. Robert Lewandowski scored three times across those matches and Lamine Yamal had one goal in each. Critically, the veteran Lewandowski will be held out of this match with a hamstring injury, but there’s certainly enough top-line talent to compensate. Raphinha is second on the roster in both goals and assists, and Ferran Torres is third in La Liga for goals/90. Yamal is a breakout star at 17 years old.
Barcelona takes the pitch atop the league standings with five matches remaining and undefeated in domestic competition for the calendar year. This is its first time facing Real Madrid in a Copa final since 2014, when Gareth Bale’s stunner earned Real the trophy. Madrid also beat the Catalans in the 2011 final, with Cristiano Ronaldo netting the only goal of the match in added time. Barça had won the previous two final meetings in 1990 and 1983.
Real sits second in the league table with 72 points to Barcelona’s 76. Madrid will be without Eduardo Camavinga for the rest of the season: the 22-year-old midfielder endured an abductor tear in Wednesday’s win against Getafe. He was on the pitch in relief of David Alaba, who was hobbled in the first half. Madrid has also been without notables Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao.

Lyon pede R$ 44 milhões para vender Adryelson e Grêmio não deve avançar na contratação de ex-zagueiro do Botafogo
Adryelson está na mira do Grêmio - Reprodução/Instagram A diretoria do Grêmio tem como uma das prioridades a contratação de um zagueiro. Entretanto, não tem sido nada fácil encontrar um atleta com o perfil condizente e com moldes financeiros que caibam na realidade gremista. Adryelson, um dos nomes mapeados interessa, mas as exigências de John Textor, um dos proprietários do clube francês inviabilizam neste momento qualquer possibilidade de negociação. Pela transferência do ex-Botafogo, o empresário norte-americano pede 7 milhões de euros (aproximadamente R$ 44 milhões na cotação atual). A princípio, o desejo também seria incluir Gustavo Martins nas tratativas. Neste cenário, não haverá avanço por parte dos brasileiros. A informação foi divulgada pela Rádio Gaúcha.

Raducanu to miss Berlin Open to ensure fitness for Wimbledon
Emma Raducanu will miss next week's Berlin Tennis Open as she continues to manage a back problem.The 22-year-old has been struggling with the issue since competing in Strasbourg last month before the French Open and took an off-court medical timeout during her quarter-final loss to Qinwen Zheng at Queen's Club on Friday. Speaking afterwards, Raducanu said: "It's been lingering for the last few weeks, and I have had back issues before. I think it's just a vulnerability of mine. I know I need to take good care of it."I'm not overly concerned that it's something serious, but I know it's something that's very annoying and needs proper and careful management."Raducanu had elected to play in the German capital rather than Nottingham after being offered a wild card into the WTA 500 event, which is set to feature nine of the […]

Angel Reese in trouble: Chicago Sky teammates freeze her out rather than pass her the ball
Angel Reese may have posted one of her more complete stat lines of the season on Friday, but the numbers didn't tell the full story - and they certainly didn't lift the Chicago Sky to a much-needed win. In a lopsided 88-70 defeat to the Atlanta Dream, it wasn't just the scoreboard that told a troubling tale. It was how her own teammates treated her.Angel Reese's puffy eyes show recent strugglesReese managed 12 points on 4-of-10 shooting and grabbed nine rebounds, adding three assists and a steal in 32 minutes. But her struggles finishing around the rim - especially on layups - once again became the focus, as clips of her failed shot attempts went viral after the final buzzer.One viral post on X summed up the mood: "Angel Reese plays like Ewing when the MonStars took his talent."

South Africa defeat Australia to win World Test Championship
South Africa defeated Australia to win the World Test Championship at Lord's.South Africa were left with 69 runs to chase down on Saturday to collect their first ICC trophy in 27 years. Their captain Temba Bavuma played on through a hamstring injury he'd sustained the day before, scoring a vital 66 with the bat, although he was an early wicket on Saturday when he edged a delivery from Pat Cummins into the waiting gloves of wicketkeeper Alex Carey.South Africa had been facing a daunting task, needing 282 to win the final against the defending champions. But they defied the odds with Aiden Markram responding to the deficit by scoring a century, his eighth in test match cricket and his most important.Tristan Stubbs registered eight runs when he came on after Bavuma was dismissed before Mitchell Starc took out his stumps.
