Carlo Ancelotti's side dropped two points in the title race but extended their lead to four points over bitter rivals Barcelona, third, who host Athletic Bilbao on Sunday. David Alaba's own goal sent the hosts ahead but Madrid quickly pulled level through Dani Carvajal.

"Everything I've written remains on my social media without any changes," he said. Читать дальше...

Demonstrators held signs reading "Freedom for Palestine", "Stop Bombing Gaza" and "End Israeli Apartheid". Many waved Palestinian flags and some chanted "5, 6, 7, 8, Israel is a terrorist state" and "Free Palestine". Since shock Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7, which left 1,400 dead, Israel has launched devastating air and ground bombardments of Gaza. The Hamas authorities say 4,385 people have died. The London march brought traffic at the Marble Arch landmark to a standstill, and police said... Читать дальше...

Mbappe opened the scoring with a 10th-minute penalty and set up Carlos Soler to make it 2-0 just after the half-hour mark at a wet and windy Parc des Princes. The reigning champions were heading for a routine victory and added a third in the 77th minute courtesy of Fabian Ruiz. It was a second straight win for PSG following their 4-1 defeat away to Newcastle United in the Champions League earlier this month, and the result moved them provisionally to the top of Ligue 1 after nine games. The Qatar-owned... Читать дальше...

Klaasen, despite being repeatedly troubled by cramp, overcame a day of draining heat and humidity to complete a 61-ball hundred with a six and a four off successive deliveries from Wood. He then roared in celebration in the middle of the pitch but did so right in the face of Wood, who kept his cool by refusing to respond with similar aggression. "I didn't say anything to him," Klaasen told reporters after a century that was the cornerstone of South Africa's 399-7, a total that laid the foundation... Читать дальше...

The island nation got past the Netherlands by five wickets in the northern Indian city of Lucknow for their first victory. Samarawickrama hit an unbeaten 91 as Sri Lanka chased down their victory target of 263 with 10 balls to spare and defeat a flying Dutch side, which shocked South Africa in their previous outing. Sri Lanka have lost to Australia, Pakistan and South Africa and next face faltering defending champions England. "Actually, our plan was about how to win a game after the three games...

England World Cup winner and Manchester United great Bobby Charlton, described by the club as a "giant of the game", has died at the age of 86, it was announced on Saturday.

The flamboyant Italian showman began his final day riding in Europe with one of his trademark flying dismounts after upsetting hot favourite Kyprios on Trawlerman in the Long Distance Cup. Fittingly the winner was trained by one of his staunchest allies over the years, John Gosden, and owned by Godolphin with whom he enjoyed a heady 20-year association. The 52-year-old father of five's win raised the rafters of the racecourse which has such a special place in his heart. It was at the Berkshire... Читать дальше...

A survivor of the Munich air disaster in 1958, which claimed the lives of eight of his United team-mates, Charlton recovered to win the World Cup with England in 1966 and the European Cup with United two years later. Renowned as a player for both his venomous shooting and sense of fair play, he became a United director in later life and came to be seen as a standard-bearer for a bygone era of chivalry and sportsmanship. Only in later years, as dementia took hold, did Charlton stop attending matches at Old Trafford. Читать дальше...

From our special correspondent in Israel – The Tribe of Nova was the first time one of the world's most famous psychedelic trance (or psytrance) festivals took place in Israel. It turned out to be the country's worst terror attack. For psytrance music followers, the time for therapy to prevent post-traumatic stress disorder has come.

Hosts India take on fellow unbeaten New Zealand in a battle of the table toppers on Sunday in the Himalayan hill town of Dharamsala.

The 350-plus mark has also been breached on three further occasions. But India's wins over Australia and Pakistan in Chennai and Ahmedabad came in low-scoring matches and the International Cricket Council rated the two... Читать дальше...

Borussia Dortmund had snatched the lead from Leverkusen with a 1-0 win over Werder Bremen on Friday but Xabi Alonso's unbeaten side return to the top and have now won seven of their eight league fixtures. The visitors hit the lead early, Victor Boniface holding off four defenders while chipping across the face of goal to Jeremie Frimpong, who leapt high to karate-kick the ball goalwards. Wolfsburg 'keeper Pavao Pervan caught it and played on as Frimpong celebrated, but goal-line technology confirmed the goal. Читать дальше...

However, at the age of 35, the Johannesburg-born all-rounder made his mark on Saturday with a fine innings of 70 to lift his adopted country, the Netherlands to a respectable total of 262 against Sri Lanka. It was in vain as the 1996 champions eased to a five-wicket victory but at least Engelbrecht had the opportunity to showcase the skills which once made him a top junior. Engelbrecht found a degree of fame at the Under-19 World Cup in Malaysia in 2008 where South Africa were runners-up to an India side featuring Virat Kohli. Читать дальше...

The all-rounder, so often England's saviour, was playing his first game of the tournament following a hip injury, with the team having lost two of their opening three games in his absence. But playing as a batsman only, Stokes could only watch as South Africa piled up a colossal 399-7 -- the highest total conceded by England in a one-day international. Faced with such a huge chase, England lost early wickets and Stokes, batting at number four, managed just one boundary in his eight-ball stay before... Читать дальше...

Even Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said he could understand Everton's frustration at a lack of consistency from referee Craig Pawson. Ashley Young was sent-off before half-time for two bookable offences, while Ibrahima Konate escaped a second booking in the second-half with the scores still level. Liverpool toiled to make their man advantage count, but finally achieved the breakthrough 15 minutes from time when Salah smashed home from the penalty spot after Michael Keane handled. Salah was then... Читать дальше...

Residents had been warned to flee before the strikes, but many of them raced into the street with no idea of where to go. When they returned in the early hours of Friday morning, they found a scene of devastation, with several blocks of buildings reduced to smoking ruins and rubble, an AFP journalist said.

While the 20-year-old Dane has learned plenty already - he has beaten Djokovic in two of three previous meetings - there is no harm in getting the scoop from the man who coached the 24-time Grand Slam winner to six of his major titles from 2013-2016. "It's great to learn from players like (Boris) and from Rafa (Nadal), Roger (Federer) and Novak," ATP number six Rune said on Saturday as he prepared for Monday's start of the ATP Swiss Indoors in Basel. "It would be good to steal a bit from what they did. Читать дальше...

The 21-year-old beat American qualifier Marcos Giron 6-7 (2/7), 7-6 (7/5), 6-4 in Tokyo and will face Russia's Aslan Karatsev in Sunday's final. Shelton lost the first set and found himself two breaks down in the second against world number 79 Giron, who eliminated second seed Casper Ruud earlier this week. Shelton said it was "definitely a difficult place to be in" and credited a change in strategy for turning the match in his favour. "I knew that if I continued to keep playing the way I was...

Since the latest explosion of violence began on October 7, both Israel and Hamas have been accused of breaking international law. As the terms “genocide”, “war crimes” and “crimes against humanity” are used to describe the deadly acts carried out by both sides, FRANCE 24 takes a look at what these terms mean.

Both teams come into the contest unbeaten in their four matches and now meet in the Himalayan hill town of Dharamsala to get ahead of each other in the race to the semi-finals. New Zealand have an edge over India in World Cup match-ups with a 5-3 advantage and knocked out the much-fancied team in the semi-finals of the last edition in 2019. "I'm not sure to be honest," Latham, who is leading the side in the absence of the injured Kane Williamson, said on his team's good record against India at the 50-over showpiece. Читать дальше...

Hendricks was only in the team after captain Temba Bavuma was ruled out through illness. But taking Bavuma's place at the top of the order, he responded with a 48-ball fifty including seven fours and a superb straight six off fast bowler Mark Wood. South Africa, sent into bat by England captain Jos Buttler, were 4-1 when Quinton de Kock was caught behind off the second ball of the innings. But Hendricks and Rassie van der Dussen (60) turned the tide with a partnership of 121 that took the Proteas to 125-2. Читать дальше...

The 34-year-old scrum-half was a key member of the All Blacks' winning team eight years ago and recalled how as a "young punk" he took a photograph of those who were retiring from Test rugby after the victory over Australia at Twickenham. Smith is one of several players in the present squad, including captain Sam Cane and locks Brodie Retallick and Sam Whitelock, to have been in the 23-man squad for that final. Smith and Whitelock, 35, were outstanding in Friday's 44-6 semi-final thumping of Argentina... Читать дальше...
