During the broadcast a simple gesture became the center of attention. What seemed like a normal greeting during the 2025 UEFA Champions Leaguefinal ended up surprising those who witnessed it. In the middle of the live coverage a small act turned into a topic of debate and conversation on social media.
The main figure was Khabib Nurmagomedov, former undefeated UFC champion who on Saturday May 31 2025 during the broadcast from the Allianz Arena in Munich chose not to return presenter Kate Abdo’s greeting. Instead of shaking her hand he opted to keep his distance in a gesture tied to his religious beliefs. This action surprised and divided the audience between those who understood it and those who questioned it.
Awkward moment UFC icon Khabib Nurmagomedov snubs Kate Abdo’s handshake for religious reasons
Social media quickly became divided reflecting how religion remains a sensitive topic that sparks differing opinions. While some supported Khabib’s stance as a show of respect for his convictions others felt that a greeting is simply a basic courtesy especially during a public live event. This highlights the complexity of navigating spaces where different cultures and beliefs intersect.
In the end this moment during the 2025 Champions League invites reflection on the importance of respect and tolerance toward differences. A small gesture can say a lot and in a connected world learning to understand those differences is key to avoiding misunderstandings and fostering better coexistence

Zvažoval jste i jiné varianty, nebo bylo o pokračování v Kometě jasno?Po tom všem, co se tady stalo, nebylo moc o čem. Chtěl jsem se někde usadit a budovat si pozici. Vím, že někteří to mají nastavené v kariéře tak, že je pro ně něco důležitějšího. Pro mě vždy ale byla podstatná Kometa a nechtěl jsem ji odmítat, když přišla možnost hrát v Brně dlouhodobě.Navíc se do týmu vrátil ze zámoří obránce Filip Král, s nímž jste vyrůstal.Znám ho od pěti let. Hučel jsem do něho po tom, co jsem se vrátil do Komety, skoro každý měsíc, ať nevymýšlí blbosti a vrátí se domů. Jsem rád, že to vyšlo a nejde jinam. Je taky super, že to bude další hráč, který má ke klubu vztah.Naopak končí brankář Michal Postava, který podepsal smlouvu s Detroitem. Snažili jste se ho třeba přemlouvat, aby zůstal?Ne.

Flamengo se reunirá com agente de Varela nos Estados Unidos para selar renovação
A diretoria do Flamengo vai aproveitar a Copa do Mundo de Clubes para selar a renovação do contrato do lateral direito Varela por mais duas temporadas, até o fim de 2027. O agente do uruguaio, Uriel Perez, estará nos Estados Unidos e vai se encontrar com os dirigentes rubro-negros, que já deixaram praticamente tudo alinhado para o acordo. Varela tem crescido no clube em 2025 sob o comando de Filipe Luís. E colocado pressão na titularidade de Wesley, inclusive para o início do torneio da Fifa. O lateral uruguaio recebeu sondagens de clubes brasileiros, mas priorizou a renovação com o Flamengo, com uma valorização salarial, depois de negociar valores com o clube. Com chance de perder Wesley na janela de transferências do meio do ano, o Flamengo quer se cercar, já que Varela poderia assinar com outro clube em junho, […]
