After explaining how Ciara refused to call out Future’s name while announcing the Best Rap Artist category with Ludacris for the 2016 Billboard Music Awards on ‘Good Morning America’, the controversial talk show host told her audience: “Ciara you win so stop with the shade, you’ve got baby Future, you’ve got Russell, (who has gotten better and better since you’ve been with him)…But you haven’t…

Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski was involved in a car accident just days before his team’s Champions League quarter-final second leg against Benfica. Lewandowski, 27, started on the bench as Bayern played out a 2-2 draw in Lisbon on Wednesday to complete a 3-2 aggregate victory and reach the semi-finals. However, Bayern say his car accident, which reportedly happened on Sunday, had nothing to do with that decision. Bayern sporting director Matthias Sammer confirmed the incident, telling Sky: “I did not know Lewandowski would start from the bench. “Accidents happen to a lot of people, but you only rarely see…
Manager Juergen Klopp has urged his players to come out fighting and impose their never-say-die attitude in Thursday’s Europa League second-leg quarter-final against Borussia Dortmund as they look to end their four-year trophy drought. Having led Dortmund to two Bundesliga titles and a Champions League final, Klopp will now hope to end the German side’s Europa League hopes and heads into the clash with a slight advantage after drawing the first leg 1-1 at Westfalenstadion last week. “It’s always about being brave but especially with a high-quality team. If they get their confidence up you get smaller. You have to…
Karim Benzema will not be part of the France squad at Euro 2016, the French Football Federation has confirmed. Benzema, 28, was suspended indefinitely from the national team after being charged with conspiracy to blackmail as part of an alleged attempt to extort funds from his international teammate Mathieu Valbuena. He is accused of accepting a request from a childhood friend to act as an intermediary between the blackmailers and Valbuena, but he denies any wrongdoing. France coach Didier Deschamps and FFF President Noel Le Graet met to discuss the future of the Real Madrid striker on Wednesday. Last month,…
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal said sealing a place in the FA Cup semifinals was not important for him personally — but was for the club as a whole. Van Gaal’s United went into the quarterfinal replay against West Ham on the back of a 3-0 defeat at Tottenham on Sunday, but responded with a 2-1 win at Upton Park to secure a semifinal against Everton at Wembley on April 23. The manager told BBC Sport: “It is not important for me, it is important for the club, for the players and for the team. I said I wanted…
Pep Guardiola said he feels sorry for Real Madrid striker Cristiano Ronaldo after guiding Bayern Munich into the Champions League semifinals on Wednesday. Ronaldo scored a hat trick on Tuesday night to help overturn the 2-0 first leg deficit against Wolfsburg, to take Zinedine Zidane’s team into the semifinals. Bayern booked a spot in the final four with a 3-2 aggregate win over Benfica, despite being given a run for their money in the second leg in Lisbon, where the Portuguese giants held them to a 2-2 draw. Guardiola’s team will now await their semifinal opponents, with the draw to…
Scarves will be held aloft and the words of the 1945 show tune belted out again at Anfield on Thursday, while there will also be a pre-match minute’s silence to mark the 27th anniversary of the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, in which 96 Liverpool fans lost their lives. In addition, supporters of both clubs will hold up coloured mosaics forming ’96’. On the pitch, Klopp’s most pressing selection dilemma concerns whether to keep faith with Daniel Sturridge up front or turn back to Origi, who followed up his goal in Dortmund with a brace in Sunday’s 4-1 defeat of Stoke City…
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has instructed his players to forget about their slender away-goal advantage ahead of Thursday’s Europa League quarterfinal second leg against his former club Borussia Dortmund. Liverpool secured a 1-1 draw in last week’s first leg in Germany, with Divock Origi’s first-half opener for the visitors cancelled out by a header from Mats Hummels. But with Dortmund having plundered 119 goals in all competitions this season, Klopp does not expect Origi’s goal to prove decisive. “I think we can ignore the first leg,” said the German, for whom the Europa League represents the last chance to crown…
Instead of hoping for a slip-up from Premier League leaders Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur must win their remaining five games to give Spurs their best chance of winning their first league title since 1961, midfielder Erik Lamela said. The 24-year-old winger has shone under manager Mauricio Pochettino this season, but his four goals and six assists might still not be enough, as second-placed Spurs are still seven points behind Claudio Ranieri’s men. “We still believe… Our task is to win all the remaining games. Whether Leicester win or lose, the important thing is that we are concentrated on the job…
Leicester City’s extraordinary rise to the top of the Premier League has been recognised with the inclusion of three Foxes stars — Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez and N’Golo Kante — on the shortlist for the Professional Footballers’ Association Players’ Player of the Year award. The Leicester trio make up 50 percent of a six-strong panel that also includes Tottenham Hotspur’s 22-goal striker Harry Kane, West Ham’s France star Dimitri Payet and Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil. They are all in the running to succeed 2015 winner Eden Hazard, in an award which is voted for by their peers. Kane is also…
Barcelona coach Luis Enrique admitted his side are suffering a slump in form after a third defeat in four games saw them dumped out of the Champions League by Atletico Madrid. Antoine Griezmann struck twice for Atletico in a 2-0 win Wednesday to seal their passage to the last four at Barcelona’s expense for the second time in three years, 3-2 on aggregate. “It is clear that we are not in our best form, especially if you consider how we were playing before, but we need to lift ourselves,” said Enrique, whose side’s dreams of a treble were dashed. Barca…
Van Gaal went on to claim that United had exhibited a similar level of control against West Ham as they had at Tottenham, where Mauricio Pochettino’s side struck three times in six second-half minutes, but that the result at White Hart Lane had prevented him from saying so. “We controlled the game,” he said. “But I cannot say that when we lose 3-0. The next day it’s: ‘Man United has played very lousy.’ But it was not true. “I’m very happy that in spite of that defeat, 3-0, we can have the spirit this evening again like we have showed…
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal hailed Marcus Rashford’s startling self-awareness after the 18-year-old striker’s memorable goal inspired his side to FA Cup victory at West Ham United. Rashford broke the deadlock in the 54th minute of Wednesday’s quarter-final replay, shimmying inside James Tomkins and arcing an unstoppable shot into the top-right corner. Marouane Fellaini added a second and although Tomkins replied late on, visiting goalkeeper David de Gea brilliantly held West Ham at bay to send United into the last four for the first time since 2011. Hailing Rashford, who has now scored six times in 11 games, Van…
The Premier League have replaced self-confessed Leicester City fan Kevin Friend with referee Neil Swarbrick for Tottenham Hotspurs’ clash with Stoke City, following an outcry on social media. Spurs are second in the table, seven points behind leaders Leicester City ahead of the North London club’s visit to Stoke on Sunday. Leicester will seal their maiden top-flight title if they win three of their next five games, while Spurs are chasing a first league title since 1961. The Professional Game Match Officials Ltd (PGMOL) do not pick Friend, who lives in Leicester, to oversee Foxes’ games, but do not usually…
Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone praised his team’s spirit after knocking holders Barcelona out of the Champions League quarterfinals on Wednesday. “There is a virtue in this team,” he said. “We are a group of honest workers who can win or lose. We make ourselves strong with the tools we have. Today, once again, we have won a tremendously difficult game.” Simeone’s side lost the first leg of the tie 2-1 after having Fernando Torres sent off in the 35th minute, but were spurred on by a raucous crowd in the Vicente Calderon and two goals from Antoine Griezmann sealed…
Philipp Lahm says Bayern Munich have no intention of playing it safe as they take a precarious 1-0 aggregate lead into their Champions League quarter-final second leg at Benfica on Wednesday. The Bundesliga heavyweights earned a slender advantage from the first meeting between the teams at Allianz Arena last week, Arturo Vidal scoring the only goal of the game just two minutes into the match. Many observers expected Bayern to win more comfortably at home and the result left Pep Guardiola’s side vulnerable to an upset at Estadio da Luz. But club captain Lahm, speaking to reporters before flying to…
David Ginola has warned Manchester United against making a move for Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, stating: “I don’t want to see mercenaries in football.” Ibrahimovic is out of contract in the French capital at the end of the season, with United among a host of clubs linked with his signature. But former Newcastle United and Tottenham attacker Ginola does not believe the 34-year-old would be a worthwhile signing and urged the Old Trafford club to focus on developing young talent. “He is reaching 35 and is probably at the end of his career,” Ginola told talkSPORT. “I don’t think…
