Madrid’s poor LaLiga season continued with a surprise 1-0 defeat away to Rayo, who climbed off the bottom of the table. Bale started up front but was unable to have an impact and, with questions over the Welshman’s future, Zidane said he was unsure about the 29-year-old’s commitment. “I don’t know if Bale is focused,” he told a news conference. “You’ll have to ask him.” Adri Embarba’s first-half penalty was enough for Rayo, who kept their slim chances of survival alive, while Madrid are set to finish third....

Madrid are seeking to become the first team to defend the title since the competition was rebranded into the Champions League when they travel to Cardiff for Saturday’s showpiece. Zidane is yet to sign a new contract extension despite leading Madrid to their first league title since the 2011-12 campaign but the Frenchman is relaxed about his future. “I have one more year on my contract but that doesn’t mean anything,” Zidane told reporters on Tuesday....

Ronaldo appeared to sustain a knock to his ankle as he bundled home a 14th-minute equaliser for Real at the Camp Nou. The striker played on until half-time but was substituted during the interval. Real went on to secure a 2-2 draw without Ronaldo, as Gareth Bale struck in the 72nd minute after Lionel Messi’s superb individual effort put 10-man Barca ahead. Sergi Roberto had been sent off at the end of the first period after Luis Suarez opened the scoring in a pulsating, and highly controversial, Clasico....

Reports this week have suggested James is set for a big-money close-season move to Manchester United after falling down the pecking order at Santiago Bernabeu. The attacking midfielder moved to Madrid after a stellar 2014 World Cup that saw him win the Golden Boot award, but has found playing time limited since Zidane took over in January 2016. But Zidane was keeping his cards firmly to his chest when asked about James’ future at a pre-match news conference....

The visitors must have enjoyed the series with the performance which they had. Pakistan must be happy with the performance of their openers Fakhar Zaman and Imam ul Haq because they both found their rhythm. Their bowlers Faheem Ashraf and Shadab Khan both also delivered well with the ball. The only thing that Zimbabwe can do is to avoid the whitewash. Results so far 1st ODI - Pakistan won by 201 runs...

The 20-year-old’s future at Anfield is uncertain as he is yet to confirm his commitment to the Reds by extending his contract which is set to expire in 2017. Sterling also grabbed the headlines last week after his interview with BBC Sport where he mentioned that he does not want people to think that he is a “money-grabbing 20-year-old.” And Zidane, who is currently coaching Real Madrid’s Castilla B-team, has admitted that Los Blancos are looking at the England international as a potential future transfer prospect and that he is one of the several players who are on the radar of the Spanish giants....

On July 1, Shams Charania of The Athletic broke the news that Williamson was nearing a five-year extension “worth up to” $231 million with the Pelicans. Williamson has since signed the extension.

The 2019 NBA Draft looks like it will be one of the weaker ingestions of talent into the professional ranks in recent memory. While the top of the class is inspiring, it quickly drops off in terms of star power. The crop of collegians is filled with potential role players, and the international contingent isn’t any better. There’s certainly no Luka Doncic. NBA MOCK DRAFT: Full first-round breakdown None of this means the 2019 draft will be wholly uninteresting....

Ziyech played a starring role in Ajax’s run to the Champions League semi-finals last season. But while Frenkie de Jong left for Barcelona and Matthijs de Ligt signed for Juventus in the transfer window, Ziyech has remained with the Eredivisie champions. Bayern were linked with the 26-year-old, but he instead signed a new three-year contract to stay put. Although Ziyech admitted a move to Germany was possible, he would have been required to wait for such a transfer to happen....

The LA Galaxy have announced Ibrahimovic will be available for selection for the match on Saturday against new local rivals Los Angeles FC. The Swedish striker officially joined the LA Galaxy last week after being released from his contract with Manchester United.

In case you didn’t know… Pogba has been a divisive player for the United faithful, with many fans having cast doubts over his performances for the Red Devils. The most popular of his critics is Graeme Souness who has even gone on to say that the Frenchman “does not do the basics right”.

Clearly, the statue is not yet complete, but it appears to be at least three times the size of the actual striker as it currently stands.

For those unfamiliar with Unturned, it released on PC back in 2017 in a free-to-play format. A good way to describe it would be a fusion between the sandbox style of Minecraft or Roblox and the survival aspects of a game like DayZ. Though the graphics may be off-putting to some, it’s worth trying the game out before making a judgment. RELATED: State of Decay 3 Revealed, Has Zombie Deer...

The Lakers were able to do that, and in the process snapped a three-game losing streak with a 116-102 victory over the Suns. Ivica Zubac and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope each scored 24 points and Brandon Ingram added 22 as Los Angeles won for the first time with LeBron James and Lonzo Ball both out of the lineup. Walton was also missing Kyle Kuzma (hip) and Tyson Chandler (rest). Still, the Lakers dominated the inside against a small Phoenix lineup as it had a 70-46 advantage in points in the paint....

But the seeds were relatively strong otherwise, with Rafael Nadal joining defending champion Zverev in easing through his second-round match. FERRER’S CAREER ENDS WITH ZVEREV DEFEAT...
