Champions League: Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies says reaching final 'dream come true'

Image
 Bayern Munich full-back Alphonso Davies says reaching the Champions League final is "a dream come true." Davies, 19, joined Bayern from Vancouver Whitecaps in 2019 for a then-MLS record transfer fee of £9.84m And he is set to be the first Canada international to play in the showpiece game. Speaking after the semi-final win over Lyon, he told BT Sport: "Playing in the Champions League and getting to the final is everything you could ask for." Davies' inclusion in the Bayern line-up for the final would reportedly trigger a 1m euro payment to the Whitecaps. But that is unlikely to bother the Bavarian side, who will aim to win their sixth European Cup against Paris St-Germain on Sunday (20:00 BST). The Bundesliga club reached the final of European football's elite competition for the 11th time - albeit for the first time in seven years - with another superb display of potent attacking on Wednesday. Davies, who also impressed in the 4-1 win over Chelsea in the l

Premier League fixtures to be released on Thursday

Image
 The fixtures for the 2020-21 Premier League season will be released at 09:00 BST on Thursday. A shortened top-flight campaign is set to start on 12 September and finish on 23 May 2021. The new season will be five weeks shorter than usual because of the late end to 2019-20 due to the coronavirus pandemic. As a result, the Premier League has scrapped its winter break because of fixture congestion. Premier League clubs involved in the latter stages of European cup competitions will be given a delayed start to the 2020-21 season. Manchester City reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, while Manchester United reached the semi-finals of the Europa League. Both clubs will not be in action on the opening weekend, but Wolves - who reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League - will. City and United will have fixtures listed for the opening weekend when they are released on Thursday but they will be moved as a result of the agreement among all Premier League clubs for every squad

Mattia Cattaneo becomes fourth Deceuninck-Quick Step rider to crash in two weeks

Image
 Italy's Mattia Cattaneo became the fourth Deceuninck-Quick Step rider to suffer a major accident in two weeks as he crashed at the Giro dell'Emilia. Cattaneo, 29, has a fractured vertebra but will not need surgery and must rest for six to eight weeks. Team-mate Fabio Jakobsen was badly injured in a crash at the Tour of Poland, while Remco Evenepoel fractured his pelvis in Il Lombardia on Saturday. Yves Lampaert broke his clavicle in a crash at Milano-Torino. Dutch sprinter Jakobsen will undergo multiple facial surgeries after a high speed crash on 5 August, while Evenepoel is not expected to need surgery despite somersaulting off his bike into a ravine after hitting a bridge at the weekend. "I knew the downhill, as I did the race several times, but unfortunately I hit a small stone in the middle of the road with my front wheel," Cattaneo said. "It makes me sad, because I was confident for the upcoming races." Russia's Aleksandr Vlasov claimed victory in

Demba Ba calls for Uighur solidarity protest over treatment by China

Image
 Former Premier League striker Demba Ba has called on football to condemn China's treatment of Uighur Muslims, whatever the financial cost. "The Black Lives Matter movement is stronger when non-black people step up for it," Ba told BBC Sport. "When are we going to see the rest of the world stand up for Muslims?" More than a million Uighur are believed to have been detained without trial in prison camps on the basis of their faith and ethnicity. The Chinese government has separated Uighur children from their parents and reportedly forced women to be sterilised. Footage of blindfolded Uighur prisoners being led on to trains has gone viral while leaked documents have detailed "discipline and punishment" at camps, which former detainees claim include torture. China, which initially denied the camps' existence, now says they are voluntary schools for anti-extremism training. Demba Ba calls for Uighur solidarity protest over treatment by China By Mike He

James Ward-Prowse: Southampton captain signs new five-year deal

Image
 Southampton captain James Ward-Prowse has signed a new five-year contract to 2025 - potentially taking his time at the club beyond 20 years. Ward-Prowse, 25, joined the Saints aged eight and progressed through the club academy, making his senior debut in 2011. The midfielder, who has two England caps, played every minute of the club's 2019-20 Premier League campaign. "It's a club that's very close to my heart," Ward-Prowse said. "I really feel that it's an exciting period for us. "I think we've regained our identity as a team and I think we're heading in the right direction towards where we believe we can go as a club." Manager Ralph Hasenhuttl says Ward-Prowse, who has played 278 times in all competitions for the club, scoring 24 goals, is "a player who shows everything that the club is about". "He was not playing so much when I arrived, but he has listened and worked on every aspect of his game, and that is why he has r

Matheus Pereira: West Brom sign winger on a permanent deal from Sporting Lisbon

Image
 West Bromwich Albion have completed the permanent signing of Sporting Lisbon winger Matheus Pereira after a successful season-long loan. The 24-year-old Brazilian has signed a four-year deal at The Hawthorns in a move thought to be worth £9m.  Pereira helped Albion win automatic promotion to the Premier League, scoring eight goals and providing 16 assists in 42 appearances. He was named West Brom's player of the year by his team-mates and fans. The deal to make the move permanent was triggered after he made a certain number of appearances for Slaven Bilic's side last season. "While there has never been a question that Matheus was our player we decided to leave the final details until the season was complete," said Albion sporting and technical director Luke Dowling. "We wanted Matheus to focus on his football and the last nine games of the season. We agreed out of mutual respect, between club and player, to finalise his contract in the close season. "Everyb

David Silva: Lazio sporting director angered by Real Sociedad deal

Image
  Lazio sporting director Igli Tare says he does not have "respect for the man" after David Silva joined Real Sociedad. The Italian side were reported to be close to signing the former Manchester City and Spain midfielder after offering him a three-year contract.  Silva, 34, instead signed a two-year deal with Spanish side Sociedad. "I learn about David Silva's transfer to Real Sociedad. I have great respect for the player, but not for the man," said Tare in a short statement. Silva's 10-year spell at Manchester City came to an end after Saturday's Champions League defeat by Lyon. The attacking midfielder, who is to receive a statue outside Etihad Stadium, made 436 appearances and helped City win 14 trophies. Silva last played in La Liga in 2010, spending six years at Valencia before moving to the Premier League and becoming one of its greatest imports. Sociedad finished sixth in La Liga and were in search of a new playmaker after Norway's Martin Ode

Bayern Munich coach Hansi Flick wants his side to forget their 8-2

Image
Bayern were stunning in their win over Barca to position themselves as tournament favourites. But in Lyon they face a side that has beaten Italian champions Juventus and Manchester City to reach the semis. "Less than 100% will not be enough," said Flick. "The game starts from scratch. My team is focused. We have set big goals. But it is a game starting at 0-0 and we have to play with the same intensity as against Barca." Thomas Muller and on-loan Philippe Coutinho both scored twice in the emphatic win in the last eight, with Robert Lewandowski also on target to take his tally in this season's tournament to 14 - three short of the record set by Cristiano Ronaldo. And their side could get even stronger, with defender Benjamin Pavard fit again following an ankle injury. Pavard, who had an outstanding season as Bayern won the domestic league and Cup double, injured ligaments in his ankle late last month but has returned to fitness quicker than expected. "Benjam

Coronavirus: How many Covid-19 deaths is India missing?

Image
  India has registered more than 50,000 Covid-19 deaths, overtaking the UK to become the fourth-worst-affected country for fatalities. But the number of deaths per million people stands at 34 - far lower than what has been reported in Europe or North America. The case fatality rate or CFR, which measures deaths among Covid-19 patients, is just around 2%. Even in badly-hit state like Maharashtra the number of deaths is doubling only in about 40 days. "The death rates have kept low all along, even as cases rose," K Srinath Reddy, president of the think tank, Public Health Foundation of India, told me. Many epidemiologists attribute this relatively low fatality rate to a young population - the elderly are typically more vulnerable to the infection. It is not clear whether other factors like immunity deriving from previous infections from other coronaviruses, are also responsible. Also, they point to a pattern of low mortality in South Asian countries that share a similar demogra

Trump dangles cash for US firms moving from China

Image
  US President Donald Trump wants to offer tax credits to entice US firms to move factories out of China. He has also threatened to strip government contracts from firms that continue to outsource work to China. In a speech on Monday, Mr Trump vowed to create 10 million jobs in 10 months saying “we will end our reliance on China.” It marks his latest attack on China, after moves that have involved tech companies TikTok, WeChat and Huawei. The announcement came as tensions between Washington and Beijing have been escalating rapidly in recent months. The Trump administration is now casting its net beyond the Chinese technology companies it has accused of threatening US national security. “We will create tax credits for companies that bring jobs from China back to America,” Mr Trump said. “We built the greatest economy in the history of the world and now I have to do it again.” Chinese communications giant Huawei has repeatedly come under attack by the US government and on Monday further

Neco Williams: Liverpool defender signs five-year deal at Anfield

Image
  Liverpool defender Neco Williams, 19, has signed a five-year deal with the Premier League champions. The Welshman has made 11 appearances for the side since his senior debut in October 2019, playing six times in the top flight. Williams, who joined the Liverpool academy aged six, said the deal felt "amazing". "There is no better place to learn and to become a better player than being here," he added. "We've got some of the best players in the world and we're one of the best teams in the world." In February, former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock said Williams could force his way into Wales' squad for the Euros, now postponed until 2021. กติกาของรูเล็ต Line ID @ufa98v2

David Silva: Man City announce plans for statue at Etihad Stadium

Image
 Manchester City have announced plans for a statue of Spanish playmaker David Silva at Etihad Stadium. Silva's successful 10-year spell at City came to an end after Saturday's Champions League defeat by Lyon. Signed from Valencia in 2010, the midfielder, 34, made 436 appearances and helped City win 14 trophies. Silva will return to La Liga next season - he had been linked with Italian side Lazio, but a move to Real Sociedad was announced late on Monday. "David is a transformational player, a quiet leader who has inspired everyone around him," said City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak. "David's statue will act as a lasting reminder of the wonderful moments that he gave us, not only as an incredible footballer, but as an inspiring ambassador who represented this football club with great dignity at all times." The statue will be unveiled in 2021, along with another tribute dedicated to former City captain Vincent Kompany, who left the club last year and announ

Backpacker's family 'grateful' for Thai king's clemency

Image
  The family of a British backpacker killed in Thailand have welcomed a decision to   commute his murderers' death sentences to life in prison . Two Burmese workers were sentenced to death in 2015, after being found guilty of killing David Miller, 24, of Jersey, and Hannah Witheridge, 23, of Norfolk. Their sentences have been reviewed to commemorate King Vajiralongkorn's birthday and to show his "clemency". Mr Miller's family said they were "grateful" to the Thai king. The bodies of Mr Miller and Miss Witheridge were found on a beach on the Thai island of Koh Tao in 2014. Lin and Phyo (also known as Win Zaw Htun) were sentenced to death for the murder of Mr Miller and the murder and rape of Ms Witheridge.In a statement, Ian and Sue Miller, who have campaigned against the death penalty, said: "We are grateful to His Majesty the King of Thailand for showing his clemency to the murderers of our son David.

India rape: Two men arrested for 13-year-old's rape and murder

Image
  A 13-year-old girl has been raped and murdered in India. Her body was found in a sugarcane field in northern Uttar Pradesh state, police said on Saturday. Two neighbours in the village have been arrested Police have denied the father's account that his daughter had had her eyes gouged out and her tongue cut. Rape and sexual violence have been under the spotlight in India since the 2012 gang rape and murder of a young woman on a bus in the capital, Delhi. That attack led to huge protests and changes to the country's rape laws, but there has been no sign of crimes against women and girls abating. According to recent crime figures, every fourth rape victim in India is a child. In an overwhelming number of rape cases, the victims know the perpetrators. The latest incident occurred late on Friday in Pakaria village in the Lakhimpur Kheri district, police said. The family went searching for their daughter after she failed to return from a toilet break out in the fields. They say th

The couple blamed for an Islamic State attack on their wedding

Image
  It should've been the happiest day of their lives. Instead, it was the worst. Mirwais and Rehana's wedding in Afghanistan's capital Kabul last year was targeted by an IS suicide bomber, killing more than 90 of their guests. The couple lost close family members and friends, and the attack took a heavy toll on their mental health. This week marks the anniversary of the attack. For the first time, Rehana, 18, has decided to speak publicly about what happened that day. "Every night I have nightmares," she told the BBC. "I cry and I can't sleep." Crowds of people make her anxious, as does travelling by car. "Whenever I hear gunshots or explosions it takes me back to that day, and I think something will happen to me again," she said. The relatives of some of those who died that day have raised the idea of holding a protest outside the wedding hall where the attack took place, to commemorate the anniversary and call for the attackers to be held

New Zealand: Jacinda Ardern delays election over coronavirus fears

Image
  The prime minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern, has postponed the country's general election by a month amid a spike in coronavirus cases. The vote was due to take place on 19 September but will now be held on 17 October instead. Ms Ardern said on Monday that the new date would allow parties "to plan around the range of circumstances we will be campaigning under". Earlier this week, the country's largest city went back into lockdown. "This decision gives all parties time over the next nine weeks to campaign and the Electoral Commission enough time to ensure an election can go ahead," Ms Ardern said, adding that she had "absolutely no intention" of allowing any further delays to the vote. The opposition National Party has argued the election should be delayed as restrictions on campaigning mean Ms Ardern had an unfair advantage. Restrictions were imposed on Auckland on Wednesday after a number of new infections were identified in the city. Nine

ATP Tour Finals: London event to be behind closed doors in November

Image
  The ATP Tour Finals will be played behind closed doors in November. The season-ending tournament, which features the best eight singles players and doubles teams of the year, will take place between November 15 and 22. The event will be staged at the O2 Arena for the last time before moving to Turin in 2021. The ATP Tour said it would follow government guidance and stage the event without fans but that it hopes some would be allowed to attend. "ATP remains hopeful that later this year fans will be allowed to return into stadia in a socially distanced manner, following a series of pilot events being undertaken in the UK," a statement read. Fans who have already bought tickets will receive full refunds and more will go on sale if government guidance changes and fans are able to attend. The tournament has been staged at the O2 since 2009 but is moving to Italy from 2021-2025 and Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Dominic Thiem have already qualified for this year's event. Th

Serena Williams: Shelby Rogers shocks former world number one at Top Seed Open

Image
  Serena Williams lost in the Top Seed Open quarter-finals after fellow American Shelby Rogers came back from a set down to win their rain-delayed match 1-6 6-4 7-6 in Lexington. Former world number one Williams dominated the first set but a resilient Rogers forced a decider. Rogers, ranked 116 in the world, then edged the tie-break to record a memorable victory. "It's every kid's dream to be able to do something like that," Rogers said. "Weird circumstances. Weird situation. But a win is a win." Meanwhile, 16-year-old American Coco Gauff is through to her second WTA semi-final after she battled to beat Tunisia's number eight seed Ons Jabeur 4-6 6-4 6-1. Gauff had been two games from defeat in the second set when she won four in a row to level the match and then reeled off five straight games in the decider. The world number 53 will play fellow American Jennifer Brady in the next round. 'I made it difficult on myself' It was Williams' first l

Xiaomi has a new cheap phone with a massive battery and high-res screen

Just days after Xiaomi unveiled its super-premium  Mi 10 Ultra , the company has shown off a phone at the opposite end of the price spectrum – the Redmi 9, a budget phone that's just released in the UK. The Xiaomi Redmi 9 is now the most affordable phone the company offers here, as it costs just £159, less than the Redmi Note 9S and a few others at £199. You can check it out at Xiaomi's website here. Read our Xiaomi Redmi Mi 10 review The Xiaomi Mi Note 11 is coming soon These are the best camera phones It's even cheaper if you buy it before August 23, because the company is offering it at £149 with the Mi Band 4 fitness tracker thrown in too. After that, it'll go back to £159, which is still a very reasonable price for a smartphone. The Redmi Note 9 has a 6.53-inch screen with a 2340x1080 resolution.

FedEx Cup play-off: Tiger Woods to play Northern Trust event in Boston

Image
  Tiger Woods will begin his quest for a record third FedEx Cup championship after confirming he will contest next week's Northern Trust, the first of three FedEx Cup play-off events which complete the PGA Tour's 2019-20 season. Woods is 47th in the FedEx Cup standings and is set to drop a few places following the conclusion of this week's Wyndham Championship. The top 70 after the Northern Trust at TPC Boston qualify for the second event, the BMW Championship in Chicago, but only the top 30 after that advance to the Tour Championship in Atlanta, won last year by Rory McIlroy. Woods - who won the FedEx Cup in 2007 and 2009 - has played just four tournaments in 2020 and finished in a tie for 37th in the US PGA Championship in San Francisco. If he plays all three play-off events the 44-year-old will have just one week off before the rescheduled US Open at Winged Foot from September 17-20. The 15-time major winner missed the cut when the US Open was last staged at Winged Foot
