MADRID - Ballon d'Or winner Karim Benzema will leave Real Madrid as a free agent in the close season after 14 trophy-laden years, the LaLiga club said on Sunday, with the striker set to move to Saudi Arabian side Al Ittihad.

Saudi Arabia's state-run Al Ekhbariya television station reported that Al Ittihad had reached an agreement with Benzema on a two-year contract, with club officials in Madrid to hammer out a "record deal" with the striker.

PSG goalkeeper Sergio Rico is fighting for his life.

The shot-stopper is in intensive care at a hospital in his native Spain following an unfortunate horse-riding accident over the weekend. According to the doctors, Rico's situation is so very delicate that his wife, Alba Silva, posted a heartbreaking message on Instagram, praying for his recovery.

"Don't leave alone because I swear I can't and I don't know how to live without you. We are waiting for you," Silva wrote.

César Montes hace un gol, le anulan otro y no puede evitar el dramático descenso del Espanyol

César Montes lo dio todo. Cada gramo de sudor y hasta un par de cabezazos que parecían heroicos. Sin embargo, entre el VAR y un gol a los 90+3' del Valencia, el Cachorro no pudo evitar el dramático descenso del Espanyol.

Los periquitos igualaron 2-2 con el equipo che y a una jornada pendiente, las matemáticas simplemente no alcanzan para la salvación. C'est fini.

Ante Valencia, Montes dio esperanzas.

Premier League relegation battle as it happened: Down goes Leicester and Leeds

I'll be honest, I don't spend a lot of time thinking about how we don't have promotion/relegation in the United States. I guess I've become numb to the discussion since it seems like it's never happening. But it's days like Sunday, with Everton, Leicester and Leeds dancing with the devil for the safety of 17th-place, when it's just unfathomable that we don't get to enjoy this spectacle stateside.

Ronaldo ends disappointing debut season in Saudi Arabia empty-handed

Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr could not resist the temptation to sign five-times Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo in January, but although the prolific Portuguese forward scored an impressive number of goals, they finished the season empty-handed.

Ronaldo's hopes of silverware ended on Saturday as Al-Ittihad clinched the league title for the first time since 2009 with one match to spare.

After laughing at some poor guy in the gym, Mudryk is quickly served poetic justice

On the one hand, Mykhaylo Mudryk deserves sympathy. The 22-year-old has only played 15 Premier League games (for a completely dysfunctional team) and deserves much more patience (which he'll get because he cost $107 million) despite failing to score a goal for Chelsea.

On the other hand, Mudryk deserves zero sympathy — at least for one day — after committing the cardinal sin of gym-goers everywhere: mocking someone for trying to make themselves better, indiscreetly filming them and posting it online to millions of eye balls.

USWNT star Catarina Macario confirms she won’t be going to 2023 Women’s World Cup

United States women’s national team and potentially soon-to-be Chelsea midfielder Catarina Macario posted on social media that she won’t recover from her ACL injury in time for the 2023 Women’s World Cup.

With the tournament starting in less than two months the 23-year-old looked like a long shot for making the roster. She missed the entire 2022-23 season for her club team Lyon (France) after suffering an injury to her left ACL in June 2022.

Spanish police have arrested seven people after racial abuse toward Vinícius Jr.

MADRID — Police detained seven men on Tuesday over separate alleged hate crime incidents against Real Madrid football player Vinicius Jr as Spain's main soccer league urged changes to Spanish law that would enable it to take steps to curb racism in stadiums.

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti expressed support for Vinicius Jr, whom he expected would remain at the club.

He lambasted Spain's "obsolete" protocols to deal with racism in the sport, and said he would consider taking his players off the pitch if they were to be abused again during a game.

Afición de los Wolves no perdona la canallada que JLo le hizo a Raúl Jiménez

No hay doble lectura: lo que el técnico Julen Lopetegui le hizo a Raúl Jiménez en el duelo entre los Wolves y Everton fue una grotesca canallada. Y los fans del equipo inglés no se lo perdonan.

Jiménez ha tenido una temporada para el olvido, no hay como negarlo. Tan mala que se lo ha pasado las últimas semanas fuera de convocatoria o en el banco de suplentes. Tan mala que es prácticamente un hecho su salida al final de la campaña.
