Wild scenes unfolded at Roland Garros as the French Open was unexpectedly disrupted by the boisterous celebrations of Paris Saint-Germain supporters after the soccer team claimed their maiden Champions League title.
The most illustriios prize in club-level soccer may have been taking place in Munich, but its impact was felt acutely in Paris some 522 miles away during a second-round contest between Alexander Bublik and Henrique Rocha.
Their 7-5, 6-1, 6-2 match was swiftly overshadowed by the atmosphere of the PSG ultras in the nearby Parc de Princes, who set off fireworks upon their incredible 5-0 victory over Inter Milan on Saturday.
The proximity of PSG‘s home ground, a mere 750 meters from Court Philippe-Chatrier, turned an ordinary matchday into a scene of confusion and noise as 40000 soccer fans headed to watch the clash whilst 15,000 tennis supporters headed to the Roland Garros venue.
ROLAND GARROS: PARIS HONORS NADAL
Subsequently, the 16th arrondissement of Paris became a hotspot for sporting tension and exuberant celebration so it’s a good idea that the French Open organizers ramped up security measures in anticipation of the evening’s events, especially for Novak Djokovic‘s primetime match against Filip Misolic.
Desiree Doue stars in Inter Milan rout
While the tennis world juggled its own challenges, history was being made in Germany as PSG’s 19-year-old sensation Desire Doue starred in the commanding win over Inter Milan, emerging as a rival to Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal.
His two goals and an assist to Achraf Hakimi played a pivotal role in earning the club its first-ever Champions League title as he became the third-youngest player to net a goal in a UCL final.
Later, his fellow teenager, Senny Mayulu, added a fifth goal, sealing a dominant display as the vibrant and dynamic youth of the French team overwhelmed an old and ragged Inter side at the Allianz Arena.
Their head coach Luis Enrique, already a European champion with Barcelona in 2015, cemented his legacy with a second title; and fans paid an emotional tifo tribute to his daughter Xana, who died following a battle with cancer in 2019 at the age of nine.
As PSG fans flooded the streets and lit up the skies near Roland Garros, the night quickly became a symbolic celebration of sports in the European culture and the tifo dedication to Xana proves just how passionate Europe is about the beautiful game.
With the Champions League Final win, PSG have also qualified for the UEFA Super Cup on August 13. They will take on Tottenham Hotspur, who won the UEFA Europa League 1-0 against Manchester United on May 21.
A Brennan Johnson goal in the 42nd minute gave the London-based soccer team the advantage they needed, and Ange Postecoglou‘s men managed to hold firm in their defense to win their first major trophy since 2008.

When should the Giants start Jaxson Dart? ‘This is going to be a pretty good QB’
<!--> [--> Ralph Vacchiano NFL Reporter <!--> --> EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Brian Daboll had a plan and was going to stick with it. His young, talented quarterback wasn’t going to play early in the regular season. He wanted him to sit and watch and learn as much as he could.And then, in the third quarter of the 2018 opener, Josh Allen took over as the Buffalo Bills quarterback. A few days later, the rookie was named the starter for Week 2.Daboll was just the Bills offensive coordinator then, and Allen was sitting behind Nathan Peterman, not a 10-time Pro Bowler like Russell Wilson, but the lesson is a valuable one nonetheless. Right now, Daboll has no intention of playing Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart early in the season, so he can sit and watch and learn as much as […]

Ohavnost v soutěži dorostenců. Divák dal rozhodčímu hlavičku, sudí skončil v nemocnici
Samotný duel dorostenecké ligy rozhodla jediná branka, kterou už ve 3.minutě vstřelil domácí Jan Neumann. To, proč se o zápase hraném v Berouně mluví, se stalo až po jeho skončení.Při odchodu z hrací plochy totiž došlo k napadení hlavního rozhodčího Daniela Budila. „Nejprve divák (zjevně hostujícího družstva) konfrontačním způsobem vstoupil do prostoru hřiště směrem ke druhému asistentovi, který před ním začal couvat, aby nedošlo k fyzickému napadení. Na to zareagoval člen pořadatelské služby a následně došlo k fyzické rozmíšce. Po tomto incidentu, který trval cca 20 vteřin, jsem zaregistroval, že divák odešel do ústraní (již jsem ho neviděl), tudíž jsem vyhodnotil potenciální riziko odchodu do kabin jako zmenšené,“ popisuje v zápise Budil.Jenže po chvíli se prý znovu objevil zmíněný divák. „A prudce (vysokou intenzitou) mě udeřil čelem tzv. hlavičkou do oblasti čelní kosti, což zapříčinilo můj pád na zem. Poznamenávám, že útoku se nešlo nijak bránit a absolutně jsem ho […]
Nosková se Siniakovou zabojují na US Open o postup
Dvacetiletá Nosková se zatím v sezoně nemůže opřít o stabilní výsledky. Střídá úspěchy s propady. Na trávě si v létě zahrála čtvrtfinále v Nottinghamu a semifinále v Bad Homburgu, ve Wimbledonu pak vypadla v osmifinále a následně se dostala na tvrdém povrchu v Praze do finále. V Montrealu i Cincinnati nicméně přišlo vyřazení hned v první rundě. V Monterrey před startem US Open se ale probojovala do čtvrtfinále.Její forma na posledním grandslamu sezony je tak trochu neznámou, každopádně Gálfiové, až 99. hráčce světa, bude chtít oplatit loňskou porážku z Wimbledonu.Kateřina Siniaková zažila na US Open nepříjemný šok už minulý týden. Měla startovat v mixu po boku světové singlové jedničky Jannika Sinnera. Jenže italská hvězda kvůli zdravotním problémům účast na poslední chvíli vzdala. A pořadatelé spolu s ním odstranili z pavouku soutěže i českou tenistku.Do turnaje tak vstoupí až v noci z úterý na středu ve dvouhře proti Baptisteové. Siniaková naposledy hrála v singlu na turnaji WTA 125 ve Varšavě, kde vybojovala titul. Předtím byla ve […]
