El Clásico: The History Behind the Rivalry

No matter how they’re performing in the league, whenever Barcelona and Real Madrid play, you can always expect the unexpected. This past El Clásico was no different. 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...

LeBron James Becomes Second Player in NBA History To Score 37K Points

LeBron James continues to cement himself as the “GOAT” in NBA history. As he inches closer to former Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who finished his Hall of Fame career with 38,387 points in the span of 20 seasons, King James has found himself scoring 37,000 career points.

Paul has been increasingly vocal about his opinion on fighter pay in the UFC, accusing Dana White of under compensating his fighters and even dropping a diss track. “If I win, then Dana has to increase the minimum of fighter pay,” Paul said in an interview with TMZ Sports. “If I lose, then they can take all of the money and whatever and so be it. 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...

Paul Pogba on Dealing With Pressure and His Desire to Always Succeed

When Paul Pogba first moved to England and joined Manchester United in 2009, he was just 16. By this point, he was already touted as one of the most promising young footballers in the world, with the move only increasing the pressure on his shoulders. Pogba joined from the under-16 academy of French side Le Havre, where he had garnered a reputation for his demanding and direct style of play, and had already established himself as a French youth international. Despite these accolades at such a young age, Pogba insists he didn’t feel the heat. “To me at the time, it wasn’t pressure, it was good,” he explains to HYPEBEAST. “I had big ambitions and it really gave me strength to be in England and to have people talking about me. For me it was a great opportunity to leave France and be at a club...

Formula 1 to Debut Las Vegas Grand Prix in 2023

According to a report from Front Office Sports, Formula 1 will be debuting a Las Vegas Grand Prix on Thanksgiving Weekend of 2023. It’s expected that an official announcement will be made in the coming weeks. With a legacy race taking place in Austin and another race set to debut in Miami this May, the Las Vegas Grand Prix will be the third, and potentially new flagship race for F1 in the U.S. The last time a Grand Prix was held in Vegas was in 1982 at the Caesars Palace parking lot. The upcoming race, however, is expected to land on the city streets of the Las Vegas Strip. The many pedestrian bridges over the roads would serve as valuable viewing points, reducing the need to erect additional platforms for fans. Looking forward, F1 teases the possibility of increasing the number of races p...

Italy Defeated by North Macedonia, Roberto Mancini in Shock After Missing World Cup

Italian football fans from around the world are at a loss for words. Even its manager Roberto Mancini is left in shock after Italy’s stunned 1-0 defeat to North Macedonia. The loss leaves Italy out of the World Cup for the second straight time. Aleksander Trajkovski hit the only goal of the game, sealing the deal for North Macedonia while also causing Italy’s first defeat in 60 home World Cup qualifiers. The shock stands as North Macedonia is ranked 60 places below the four-time World Cup champions Italy, in FIFA. Now, North Macedonia is slated to face off against Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal in the playoff final next week, with a place in Qatar on the line. Mancini spoke to reporters post-match and said, “It’s hard to say something right now, I don’t know what to say.” The shock was fel...

Kyrie Irving Could Be Allowed to Play Home Games at the Barclays Center Soon

Kyrie Irving could be making his Barclays Center debut as early as Sunday following reports of the change in New York City’s private-sector vaccine mandate. Sources claim that New York City mayor Eric Adams will alter the city’s private-sector vaccine mandate “specifically for performers and athletes” effective Thursday, allowing unvaccinated athletes like Irving to play home games for the first time this season. Shams Charania of The Athletic also tweeted, “Unvaccinated Yankees and Mets players also now eligible for home games.” Irving has only been serving as a part-time player for the Brooklyn Nets due to his unvaccinated status contradicting the city’s mandate, which does not allow unvaccinated New York-based athletes and performers to work. If reports are accurate, Irving will be able...

Jorge Masvidal Has Been Arrested for His Alleged Attack on Colby Covington

Jorge Masvidal has been arrested for his alleged attack on Colby Covington. The two previous-best-friends-turned-enemies and past training partners at American Top Team — Covington later moved MMA masters — addressed their beef on March 6 at UFC 272, where Covington won in emphatic fashion. There was a lot of bad blood going into the fight as well as after the match as Colby Covington’s heel antics insulted a lot of personal areas in Masvidal’s life, including his family. Promising to take the fight to the streets if they were to run into each other outside of the cage, Masvidal took it a step further by waiting for Covington outside of a restaurant in Miami where he fractured Covington’s tooth after punching him once in the eye and in the mouth. Masvidal was eventually arrested less than ...
