Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah said he is "devastated" the club have missed out on a spot in next season's Champions League and added "there's absolutely no excuse for this". Salah posted his comments on social media shortly after Liverpool's failure to finish in the top four was confirmed by Manchester United beating Chelsea. Liverpool will finish fifth and play in next season's Europa League "We let you [fans] and ourselves down," said Egypt international Salah, 30. Liverpool won seven of their past eight games in a late push for fourth place but, ultimately, could not make up for their inconsistent form for much of the season before that run. United only needed a point at home to Chelsea in the penultimate game of their season to confirm their Champions League place and join champions Manchester City, second-placed Arsenal and Newcastle United as England's contingent in Europe's top competition next season. "We had everythi

Sometime before SHODAN’s ethical constraints were removed and the rogue AI set about converting the people of Citadel Station into cyborgs, a researcher named Stacy Everson found a smoking gun hidden among the blinking servers of the spaceship’s library. Not an assault rifle or mini-pistol, but a decades-old email chain between her TriOptimum bosses and a psychologist named Jeffrey Hammer.  In the early stages of Citadel’s construction, Hammer suggested that each level of the station be designed in such a way as to induce stress and anxiety, so that experts could study their impact on the human psyche during space travel. “I always knew something was off about this place!”, wrote Stacy to a colleague. “We are just rats in a maze.” What Hammer calls stress and anxiety, I would call System Shock's tension and atmosphere. And while I’d dispute Stacy’s characterisation of Citadel’s residents as rodents, I can’t deny I’ve spent more than a dozen hours skulking, scurrying between holes i

A 2-2 draw at Valencia ensured Luis García’s team will not be among several sides fighting for survival on the final day, When the end came, Espanyol’s captain pulled his shirt over his face and sobbed, a member of staff taking him gently by the arm and guiding him off the Mestalla pitch and out of the first division.  “We didn’t deserve it to end like this,” Sergi Darder had said, which was just about all he had been able to say; three men needed to compose him and carry him towards the camera where, exposed, his voice cracked and his eyes stung. That and “sorry”, plus a promise to be back he knew was as hard to hear as to express. Then he raised an apologetic hand and, head covered, departed. “When we were closest, it was gone: it was cruel,” said his coach, Luis García. In the 93rd minute of the 37th week of the longest and tightest relegation battle anyone had seen, when someone’s grip finally failed, survival torn from their fingers, it was theirs. “We had fought so hard to have o

Pilar Rubio has slammed those who do not acknowledge her accomplishments and label her just as PSG ace Sergio Ramos’ wife. The 45-year-old has claimed that she has had a decorated career, which speaks for itself. In an interview in April, she told MARCA: “The people who label me like that ... someone who is very clueless. In the end, I have been working for 27 years. Yes, I am Ramos' wife, and he is my husband, but that's it. It doesn't mean they belittle you.“I'm a hard worker. I've been working in this field all my life, and I'm still doing it. I haven't stopped working, and I have no intention of doing so.” Pilar has been working as a collaborator on the Spanish show “El Hormiguero" since 2014. She has also presented renowned shows like “¡Más que baile!”, “Operación Triunfo,” “XXS”, “Todo el mundo es bueno” and her claim-to-fame, “Sé lo que hicisteis”. Paris Saint-Germain still has not yet made a final decision regarding Sergio Ramos’ future at the c

Paris St Germain took a decisive step towards a record 11th Ligue 1 title as Kylian Mbappe struck twice in a 2-1 win at relegation-threatened AJ Auxerre on Sunday. Mbappe's double in the opening eight minutes moved PSG onto 84 points with two games left, six ahead of second-placed RC Lens with a much better goal difference (+50 to +34). Christophe Galtier's side need to avoid defeat at Racing Strasbourg next Saturday to wrap up the title. AJ Auxerre, who are in 16th place on 34 points, one point above the relegation zone, travel to Toulouse in the penultimate round of matches. "We relaxed a little after the two goals but in the end we have one hand on the trophy," said captain Marquinhos, who like most of the team was far from impressive. "We've done a lot this season but we knew that if we had dropped points things could have become complicated. We're not going to celebrate the title tonight, but we will celebrate the win." Mbappe broke the deadlock

Paris Saint-Germain all but secured the Ligue 1 title on Sunday as a Kylian Mbappe brace gave them a 2-1 win away to Auxerre that left the Qatar-owned club six points clear at the top of the table with two games remaining. PSG had hoped to officially confirm a second straight championship triumph, and a ninth in the last 11 seasons, but they needed closest rivals Lens to slip up earlier in the day. Lens won 3-1 at Lorient, and so PSG still require one point from their final two matches to secure a French record 11th title overall. However, a goal difference advantage of 16 over Lens means they are almost certain to win the title even if they end the season level on points with their closest rivals. PSG, whose final two matches are away at Strasbourg and at home to Clermont, will move ahead of Saint-Etienne's previous record of 10 titles which they equalled last year. Mbappe's goals both came in the first eight minutes in Burgundy as he moved on to 28 for the season, two ahead o

Paris Saint-Germain sporting advisor Luis Campos looks to improve the capital club’s defense this summer transfer window. However, the Portuguese might have to cross Min-jae Kim off his target list.  Il Mattino recently reported that Manchester United and the Korean international have agreed to terms on a contract. Furthermore, the Red Devils will pay the €60 million asking price Napoli wants for the defender.  If the reporting is accurate, the French giants must look elsewhere to add another central defender.  Campos already has Milan Škriniar coming and with the possible departure of Sergio Ramos and the injury to Presnel Kimpembe, PSG is keen on adding another center-back.  Nonetheless, suppose Campos and Co. decide to offload manager Christophe Galtier. In that case, they might wait for who replaces the French tactician before adding a central defender to see his preferred targets.  The 2022-23 season is ending, and with the summer transfer window opening in a few weeks, PSG will n

Sebastien Haller continued his superb run of form in Borussia Dortmund's 3-0 win at Augsburg on Matchday 33, netting twice to tee up a chance for a sensational title win should they beat Mainz on Saturday. Cometh the hour, cometh the man, goes the saying. While it would be wrong to single out any individual Dortmund player as the star of their title charge, few could begrudge Haller being a focus of attention if they lift the Meisterschale for the first time since 2012 with a win against Mainz on Matchday 34. He has certainly saved his most significant contribution since his recovery from cancer to right when it was needed most. His two goals against Augsburg were Haller's second brace in consecutive matches and set his side up to overtake Bayern Munich on the final bend of the title race with a comprehensive 3-0 win. Haller's opening goal was particularly significant, as he raced onto a botched clearance from Donyell Malen's cross to angle in a tidy low finish. He show

Bayern Munich must win in Cologne and hope Borussia Dortmund slip up against Mainz if they're to retain the Bundesliga title when a dramatic 2022/23 season reaches its conclusion on Saturday (kick-off: 3.30pm CEST). Although mid-table Cologne have nothing concrete to play for and will be bidding club legend Jonas Hector and long-serving goalkeeper Timo Horn farewell, head coach Steffen Baumgart has already said there'll be "no room" for complacency or sentimentality. Hector would be guaranteed to captain the side regardless, as he prepares to bring the curtain down on a 13-year stint at the club, but Horn has long fallen behind Marvin Schwäbe in the pecking order and, as Baumgart confirmed, would only play a part if the title is no longer on the line.  There will be at least one enforced change to the team that drew 1-1 at Werder Bremen on the penultimate weekend, though. Steffen Tigges has been ruled out after opening the scoring and then going off injured in that ga

The Napoli supremo has guided the club from Serie A outcasts to Champions League regulars and is now reportedly receiving interest from Tottenham Hotspur, Cristiano Giuntoli has been billed as the unsung hero for Napoli’s resurgence to the summit of Italian football.

While the Padres were one of the biggest disappointments in baseball last season, the Giants were easily the biggest surprise, winning 107 games and narrowly beating out the Dodgers for the NL West crown. But the season ended in the divisional round at the hands of the Dodgers, and there were some big losses this offseason for a team that already seemed to be punching above its weight all of 2021. Rockies fans were certainly glad to steal away San Francisco’s trade deadline acquisition Kris Bryant, while Giants legend Buster Posey decided to retire. The Giants do have top prospect Joey Bart ready to step in and be the everyday catcher, so the team may be set for the future at that spot. The biggest loss may have come in the form of Aurora native Kevin Gausman, who was an All-Star for the first time last season and cashed in for a big payday with the Blue Jays this offseason. The Giants also did little to replace those players, but there’s a chance left-hander Carlos Rodon, who was also
