Sunday’s controversial rearranged second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid went in favour of River, who secured a 3-1 extra-time victory against 10-man Boca. After the eagerly anticipated match was twice suspended in November due to an attack on Boca’s team bus, River came out on top thanks to extra-time goals from Juan Quintero and Gonzalo Martinez. Boca had taken the lead in stunning fashion via Dario Benedetto on the stroke of half-time before Lucas Pratto equalised for River, who went on to secure a fourth Libertadores trophy....

After a solid rookie season, the Buccaneers quarterback was invited to the Pro Bowl. There he saw other stars and noticed how fit they were. “The most important thing I learned is I have to get my body in shape, because those men look good. Not just the other quarterbacks — everyone,” Winston told Sports Illustrated. “Their bodies look good. MORE: NFL All-Muscle Team | Winston following Cam Newton’s path...

The Collier County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the man who was attacked by the tiger worked for a third-party cleaning service contracted by Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens. The deputy shot the tiger in order to free the man from the tiger’s grasp. The sheriff’s office said the man—identified as River Rosenquist, 26, of Naples—was attacked while he was petting or feeding the tiger. Deputies said Rosenquist was not permitted by the zoo to be involved with such contact with the animal....

“A well known Democrat megadonor in Maine was arrested on….You guessed it! Child pornography charges! The reason KJB was picked becomes more and more obvious as the days go on,” the Colorado congresswoman tweeted, wrongly ordering Judge Jackson’s full name. Her comment came after Judge Jackson was criticized during her confirmation hearings last week that was held by the Senate Judiciary Committee in which she was asked questions about her record on child pornography cases and critical race theory in education, among other topics....

This will be the second game of the day for both teams. Bologna Cricket Club would’ve played against Bergamo United Cricket Club, while Defentas Sporting Club would’ve locked horns with Venezia Cricket Club in their respective first games. Bologna Cricket Club will be dependent on the trio of Haseeb Khan, Malik Sarfraz and Rahaman Bhuiyan with both bat and ball. Zain Iftikhar will be the other big name to watch out for....

Yohan Blake, whose speed on the track is second only to Usain Bolt, will have his acclaimed countryman in the stands when he attempts to light up the athletics arena in the 100m final tomorrow. “He should be flying in on the eighth or the ninth, one of them. I’m looking forward to it. This morning he messaged me on Instagram and said ‘I believe in you’,” Blake said after his semifinal run, which he topped with a timing of 10....

Bolton’s book can go ahead with its national release next week after U.S. District Court judge Royce Lamberth ruled “the government has not established that an injunction is an appropriate remedy” for potential national security concerns. Previewed segments from Bolton’s book appear to paint a damning picture of President Donald Trump’s tenure in office, particularly in relation to his foreign policy decisions. Bolton was ousted from his role as White House national security adviser in September 2019, after clashing with the president over foreign policy issues in Iran, North Korea and Afghanistan....

It is unclear if the group would eventually want to move the NFL team to Toronto. The club is on the market after Hall of Fame owner Ralph Wilson died in March. The three people spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity Friday because the process is private and the Toronto group has not revealed its intentions. The group includes Larry Tanenbaum and the Rogers family. Tanenbaum is chairman of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, which controls the NHL’s Maple Leafs and NBA’s Raptors....

Others take it even further. Glushakov has become a target for Spartak fans after being accused of undermining popular coach Massimo Carrera, who ended Spartak’s 16-year wait for a Russian league title in 2016-17 but was fired in October after a string of poor results. So when Glushakov scored to give his team a 1-0 lead over Lokomotiv Moscow on Sunday, many Spartak fans didn’t quite know how to react....

That’s bad because the chances that I will ever get to express that horniness in the context of a fulfilling relationship with an actual other person have always seemed pretty slim. It’s a thing you have to live with. In fact, before October 1 of this year, I had never even touched a girl in “that way.” And even then—but I’ll explain all that soon enough. In youth-oriented movies and books, the guy like me often has a huge crush on a specific blond cheerleader who doesn’t know he exists and would never stoop to talking to him....

The Last Tycoons: The Secret History of Lazard Frères & Co. by William D. Cohan At the other end of the spectrum from Vachon’s rookie’s tale, this glimpse into the most secretive of investment banks comes with an insider’s pedigree. Cohan’s long career in banking included a six-year stint at Lazard, and his best material draws from his time there. His portrait of the Promethean career of Felix Rohatyn and the rise of his rivals, Steven Rattner and Bruce Wasserstein, runs on parallel tracks with his recounting of Lazard’s odd evolution from New Orleans dry-goods store to transatlantic adviser to governments and corporations....

Kapuscinski would know. While reporting on about 30 revolutions around the world, he’s had one near-fatal experience after another. He was sentenced to death in Congo, survived a shoot-out in the Honduran jungle, went eyeball to eyeball with an Egyptian cobra and was surrounded by lions after getting a flat tire in the Serengeti. Each time, he was saved by chance or the anonymous hand of humanity. So the most remarkable thing about the 69-year-old Kapuscinski is that he’s even alive at all....

Sala completed a club-record transfer to Premier League side Cardiff before the plane he was aboard went missing en route to the Welsh capital from Nantes on Monday. The search for Sala – who had been back in France bidding farewell to his team-mates at Nantes – was ended by Guernsey Police on Thursday, though the 28-year-old’s family are determined to resume the operation. Amid the heartache, reports have emerged that Bordeaux asked for a fee from Sala’s transfer, believed to be 50 per cent following his spell at the club from 2012 to 2015, though the Ligue 1 outfit dismissed those claims....

The Jimmy McGill star suffered a near-fatal heart attack on set last July and credits the show’s cast and crew with saving his life. Now, the Emmy-nominated actor has opened up about returning to work after the health scare. “I didn’t go back to shoot for five weeks. I had a five-week break to recover. And then when I went back, we limited our shooting to 12-hour days,” Odenkirk told The Hollywood Reporter....
