CNN  —  Tottenham Hotspur defeated Manchester United 1-0 to win the Europa League final on Wednesday in Bilbao, Spain. The victory secured Spurs their first title in 17 years.

I want to draw your attention to an incredible sequence late in the Golden State Warriors' 125-120 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night. The Warriors ran a high pick-and-roll near mid-court to give Steph Curry a chance to go downhill at Victor Wembanyama with a full head of steam.

Wembanyama was still shifting toward the middle of the floor, and Curry attacked his front foot. It was technically perfect from Curry, and at that moment he should have had a major advantage. And against almost every other big man in the league, he would have. Curry briefly had Wembanyama on skates, but still couldn...

This article was updated after John Textor agreed to sell Eagle Football’s stake in Crystal Palace to Woody Johnson. It’s there in black and white. On the pitch and off it, football’s rulebook can often be infuriatingly vague, but article 5.01 of UEFA’s regulations for its club tournaments is pretty straightforward.“No one,” it reads, “may simultaneously be involved, either directly or indirectly, in any capacity whatsoever in the management, administration and/or sporting performance of more than one club participating in a UEFA club competition.”It goes on: “No individual or legal entity may have control or influence over more than one club participating in a UEFA club competition” — by which it specifies “holding a majority of the shareholders’ voting rights” or “being able to exercise ...
