Berlin, Aug 19 (Ians) A brace from Leroy Sane and a goal from new arrival Harry Kane paved the way for Bayern Munich’s 4-0 victory over Werder Bremen at the curtain raiser of the 2023-2024 Bundesliga campaign on Saturday.
The German record champions had a fairytale start as Kane’s chipped-through ball allowed Sane to finish off a counterattack in the fourth minute clinically, reports Xinhua.
The Green Whites remained unfazed and thought they had restored parity five minutes later, but Niclas Fullkrug’s header following a free-kick from Marvin Ducksch was ruled offside.
Bayern controlled possession and should have added another goal to its lead, but neither Jamal Musiala’s nor Noussair Mazraoui’s promising long-range effort found the back of the net.
Bremen goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka had his hands full of work, as he had to defuse Leon Goretzka’s hammer from the distance and Kim Min-jae’s...

On Sunday evening at the Khalifa International Stadium, Alphonso Davies needed only 68 seconds to write his name into history as Canada’s first goalscorer at a men’s World Cup to give his team the lead.
The Croatians fought back through Andrej Kramaric’s double (36 and 70 minute) besides goals from Marko Livaja (44) and Lovren Majer (94).
With Sunday’s win, Croatia moved to the top of Group F alongside surprise package Morocco and sent Canada crashing out of their second-ever World Cup, nearly four decades.
Morocco’s shock 2-0 win over Belgium earlier on Sunday, their first World Cup victory in 24 years and the Belgium’s first group-stage defeat since 1994, had given John Herdman’s Canada’s a glimmer of hope of qualifying for the knockout stage, which was further reinforced by the early goal.

Berlin, Sep 14 (Ians) One could be worried about Robert Lewandowski considering the welcome marathon the Pole went through before the Champions League match between Bayern Munich and Barcelona in the Munich Arena.
The 34-year-old striker didn’t leave out a single familiar face after leaving his Spanish club’s team bus.
Only two months after departing Bayern, the forward kept on hugging an innumerable number of old companions, despite the intention to help his new side win a widely anticipated duel.
Following the warm welcome flavoured by only a few whistles from the Bavarian fans, things developed less well on the pitch, reports Xinhua. Aside from the curious fact that the spearhead returned earlier than expected to the club where he had won all possible titles in eight years, the showdown between two of football’s best clubs turned into a battle of two contrary systems.

Unhcr Special Envoy Angelina Jolie spoke from Burkina Faso to mark World Refugee Day over the weekend.
“I’m humbled to be in Burkina Faso, and by the extraordinary grace of the people I have met here,” said Angelina. "I am here to show my solidarity with the Burkinabe people, who continue to welcome their displaced brothers and sisters despite terrible attacks and challenges; sharing what little they have, at a time when other countries with far more resources have closed their borders and their minds to refugees.
“Thank you for allowing me to be here. I am so honored and grateful to be among you, and to bow my head in respect for your courage and strength.
“Today is World Refugee Day.
“I have marked this day every year for twenty years with refugees in different countries. I have never been as worried about the state of displacement globally as I am today.

Berlin, March 21 (Ians) A red card for Alphonso Davies proved no hindrance to Bayern Munich as the Bundesliga champions thrashed hapless Vfb Stuttgart 4-0 with the help of a Robert Lewandowski hat-trick to send an emphatic message to title rivals Rb Leipzig.
The defending champions restored their four-point advantage at the top of the table after Leipzig won the weekend opener 1-0 at Arminia Bielefeld on Friday. The leading pair meet in Leipzig on April 3 after the international break.
Lewandowski will enter that match knowing a goal would make him the first player to score against every Bundesliga opponent in a season and help him close in further to Gerd Mueller's record of 40 from 1971-72, Dpa news reports.
Lewandowski hit a first half perfect hat-trick of right-foot, head and left-foot finishes to reach 35 for the campaign while Serge Gnabry finished a glorious move for Bayern's second.

Exclusive: With the Champions League staging a condensed tournament with March Madness-like potential, one of the soccer league’s key media partners is tapping a big basketball name to promote tournament coverage.
Dazn, which has exclusive rights to the league in Canada, decided to embrace the unique trifecta of basketball, Canada and soccer-loving roots in former NBA Mvp Steve Nash. He lives in California, and teamed with Holden there to film five two-to-five-minute recreations of famous moments from the Champions League’s history.
The vignettes put a new spin on moments involving stars like Sergio Ramos, Ronaldo, Neymar, Lionel Messi and Alphonso Davies. Released initially on social media, they are designed to drive subscriptions and tune-in for Canadian viewers, much as Dazn did with programming produced by LeBron James and Sylvester Stallone ahead of high-profile boxing matches.
The initiative also has an inside industry twist, given that Nash and Holden...
