Ex-Madrid stars Mesut Ozil and Xabi Alonso were delighted to see their old side become the first team to retain the title since AC Milan’s successful defence of the old European Cup in 1990. Allegri: Juventus will be back There was sympathy for Juventus following their latest near miss, and the Serie A champions were gracious enough to acknowledge Madrid’s success, as did fierce LaLiga rivals Barcelona. Manchester United, meanwhile, Europa League winners at Ajax’s expense last month, had the last word, offering a reminder they will be ready to tackle Zinedine Zidane’s side in UEFA’s continental curtain-raiser early next season....

The vice president was at George Mason to talk about voting rights when a student informed her that “just a few days ago there were funds allocated to continue backing Israel, which hurts my heart because it’s an ethnic genocide and a displacement of people, the same that happened in America, and I’m sure you’re aware of this.” The statement levels the libelous charge of genocide—a war crime—against Israel, and perpetuates the lie that the Jews are a foreign irritant and not indigenous to the Holy Land, and as such should be expelled....

Democrats and Harris allies told Newsweek that should Biden win, he would be consumed by a shattered economy and reforging international relations with countries the Trump administration pushed away. Harris, they said, would be a key cog on police reform efforts for the administration as she has been in Congress, where she joined House Democrats to announce their police reform bill. “I definitely have to imagine that was a big asset in her selection, knowing he has somebody who has been leading on this in Congress,” Sergio Gonzales, a former Harris senior adviser, told Newsweek....

Having previously scored a hat-trick in Saturday’s 3-0 win over Burnley to move to 53 goals for club and country in the calendar year, Kane bagged another three goals on Boxing Day at Wembley. Heading into the match Kane was one goal behind Barcelona superstar Messi, who earlier that day scored a penalty in his final game of 2017 – a 3-0 defeat of Real Madrid in the Clasico at the Santiago Bernabeu....

The England international found the net twice in Spurs’ group-stage clash with Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday at Wembley Stadium, scoring in the 15th and 60th minutes. Kane also scored in Tottenham’s final two matches of the 2016-17 group stage, a 2-1 loss to Monaco and 3-1 win over CSKA Moscow. The 24-year-old followed in the footsteps of Rooney, who recorded back-to-back braces for Manchester United against AC Milan in 2010 before making it a three-match scoring streak with a strike in the quarter-finals against Bayern Munich....

Kane was diagnosed with lateral ligament damage in his right ankle on Wednesday after a challenge with Asmir Begovic during last weekend’s clash with Bournemouth. The England international limped out of that match at the Vitality Stadium after 34 minutes, Spurs going on to win the game 4-1 thanks to a brace from Son Heung-min. Kane is expected to return to training next month, and Pochettino is confident that timescale will be met....

The Tottenham star is one of the leading candidates to be named permanent successor to Wayne Rooney, who confirmed his retirement from international duty in August. Kane FGS v Slovenia - enhanced to 5/2 Kane, who captained his country against Scotland and France in June, has shared duties with Jordan Henderson and Gary Cahill this year and has expressed a desire to take the armband on a full-time basis....

Ahead of Sunday’s match against Lithuania they sit atop of Group F and looking comfortable to qualify for their sixth straight World Cup. Oasis star’s sweary Southgate chat But who will be the 23 players who will represent the country once Gareth Southgate likely gets there? The new manager has just over a year to assess his players’s capabilities, and he has already shown he is not shy of making controversial decisions....

The Spurs attacker took eight shots in his side’s 2-1 loss to Chelsea at Wembley Stadium, which was a career-high mark for the striker without scoring a goal. Spurs 10/1 to win the Premier League Kane came close, striking the post in the first half, but his lack of scoring in the month of August continued. He also had a penalty shout denied as Marcos Alonso’s brace gave the Blues the victory in the London derby....

Pillars have resumed for the preparations for the upcoming season since last month and the chief coach of the team, Ahmed Garba revealed that Sai Masu Gida have concluded plans to hit Lokoja for few days training sessions before storming Ilorin on November 14 ahead of the pre-season tournament billed to start a day later. “We are going to leave for Lokoja on Thursday to continue with the rest of our preparations for the new season....

The main concern is products made with delta-8 THC, a cousin of the delta-9 THC chemical in marijuana, are sold in the state and marketed as legal, even where marijuana is illegal, because delta-8 is synthesized from CBD, the popular chemical that comes from hemp which Congress legalized in 2018. Several legal developments over the past year sparked by the spiking popularity of the delta-8 products have left some businesses wondering if they’re allowed to sell them legally....

WHAT’S NEW Full disclosure: I’m a Royals fan. My wife’s favorite player is Bruce Chen. My son often wears a Zack Greinke T-shirt, which probably has another few years to go before it transitions from “outdated” to “throwback.” I have a vested interest in this team beyond how they look on a fantasy roster. Following an 86-win season, the franchise’s first winning record since 2003, general manager Dayton Moore took a “go medium or go home” approach to the hot stove, an odd move considering that this season will act as a referendum on the Wil Myers trade and Moore’s beloved “Process” as a whole....

Faced with the choice to admit Darreon Jackson, a former Boise State football player suspended for his involvement in an alleged sexual assault, the Jayhawks have publicly declined to recruit the controversial athlete. Maybe it was because coach David Beatty did not want his team to be another Power 5 conference school with a contentious reputation. After all, his football program faced a repugnant sexual assault allegation during the 2015 season, when two former university rowers accused football player Jordan Goldenberg Jr....

The Democratic governor announced on Wednesday her plans to provide one-time tax rebates for 1.2 million residents next year as part of the upcoming state budget. Such a move has been opposed by GOP lawmakers, who plan to announce a separate income tax proposal. However, proposals such as this are currently being balanced out by policies that appease more towards the GOP and their voters. In November, Kelly signed a bill that would grant unemployment benefits to people who were fired from their jobs for not receiving a COVID-19 vaccine....

During the second quarter, Wildcats defender Kendall Adams was looking to scoop up a fumble recovery. In an attempt to stop him, a Charlotte player on the sideline decided to squirt his Gatorade bottle at the player. It didn’t quite work, but the effort was interesting, to say the least.

“Big win for the kid We can no longer be counted or judged We won we won we won we won We make my own systems We set our own value aaaand yesterdays price is not todays price baaaaabeeeee!!!!!” West wrote on his Instagram Wednesday, alongside a headline announcing the album’s ineligibility.
