Held at the Santiago Bernabéu, which is currently undergoing massive renovations that will see, amongst other things, a retractable pitch and roof, the match was expected to be a coronation — the cherry on top of a season in which Real were LaLiga’s perennial force. Add in a couple of celebrations, such as 120 years since the club’s founding and a truly special black Y-3 kit by adidas to mark the sub-brand’s 20th anniversary, and this was a legendary night in the making. It was, but not as it was billed to be. Despite struggling for most of the season, a relatively young Barcelona squad hammered Madrid 4-0 — sending a clear re...

Following the lifting of vaccinations restrictions, giving way to his first home game at the Barclays Center since June 7, 2021, Kyrie Irving has announced that he intends to re-sign with the Brooklyn Nets for years to come. According to the NBA, Irving currently holds a $36.5 million USD player option for next season, and assuming the Nets are on board, he could opt out and sign up to a five-year contract worth up to $246 million USD this summer. “I love it here,” Irving said in an interview. “Once summertime hits, I know that we’ll have some conversations but there’s no way I can leave my man 7 anywhere,” referring to his teammate Kevin Durant. “To be honest, I signed up for this for the long run,” Irving continued. “I love this year.

But, I know I can beat Conor.” “Conor is on a downhill spiral,” Jake continued. “His limbs are all broken. So, stand-up game, I’m coming out and knocking him out, first round.” Paul further reveals that he has no...
