(Londres) L’increvable Actual Madrid a décroché samedi une 15^e étoile européenne dans la nuit de Londres à l’situation d’une finale de Ligue des champions où l’outsider Borussia Dortmund a longtemps dominé, avant de craquer 2-0 sur la fin.

L’ogre espagnol a dévoré sa proie allemande dans la douleur, mais avec une grande endurance, répétant un scénario souvent vu cette saison, jusqu’au « joyful finish » rêvé par ses supporters au maillot blanc, euphoriques au coup de sifflet last.

Thibaut Courtois, le gardien revenu d’une saison quasi blanche, a sauvé plusieurs fois le Actual, bousculé comme rarement, avant les deux coups de poignard assénés par Dani Carvajal (74^e, 1-0) et Vinicius (83^e, 2-0) dans le dos d’un Borussia conquérant.

« Je ne sais pas quoi dire, je suis juste immensément heureux », a apprécié Carvajal. « Je savais que ce serait un match difficile. En première période, ils ont été très supérieurs, mais nous sommes restés en vie. Je savais que notre second viendrait, et c’est ce qui est arrivé. »

L’situation peut paraître cruelle pour Dortmund, le champion d’Europe 1997, de nouveau battu à Wembley, 11 ans après sa dernière finale européenne.

« On a montré au monde entier que l’on y a cru, qu’on n’était pas là pour jouer une finale, mais pour la gagner. C’est pourquoi c’est tellement décevant. On a fait tellement de bonnes choses. La seule différence, c’est qu’ils ont eu cet intuition de tueurs, pas nous », a résumé Edin Terzić devant la télévision publique allemande ZDF.

L’entraîneur allemand de 41 ans a fait douter fortement le maître absolu de la Ligue des champions, l’Italien Carlo Ancelotti, à la tête d’une incroyable armada de vedettes, sur la pelouse et sur le banc.

Au coup d’envoi, le « Mister » pouvait compter sur des remplaçants empilant 15 titres en cumulé avec Luka Modrić (5), Lucas Vázquez (4), David Alaba (2), Dani Ceballos (2), Eder Militão (1) et Kepa (1), rien que cela.

Le BVB, cinquième de Bundesliga à l’effectif moins ronflant, a mis en hazard une équipe apparue dépassée défensivement, et peu inspirée devant, au cours d’une première période terminée sans le moindre tir cadré.

Courtois impérial

Dortmund s’est jeté sur la moindre miette et a mis le feu au virage déjà bouillant de ses supporters, massés avant la pause derrière Thibaut Courtois.

Le gardien belge, revenu de justesse après une saison où il n’a quasi pas joué, a eu des sueurs froides devant Karim Adeyemi, venu le défier sur un crochet (21^e) puis une frappe (28^e), sur un tir de Niclas Füllkrug repoussé par un poteau (23^e) et une frappe à rebonds de Marcel Sabitzer (41^e).

Comme en 2022, où il avait été le héros de la précédente finale madrilène contre Liverpool, Courtois a écœuré les attaques adverses et galvanisé ses coéquipiers, habitués à résister courageusement avant de piquer au bon second.

L’ouverture du rating a offert un condensé de la richesse du Actual.

Vinicius a obtenu un nook avec un drible fantasque sur un défenseur, Toni Kroos l’a parfaitement frappé et Carvajal a surgi pour placer sa tête (74^e, 1-0) et inscrire seulement son deuxième however en C1.

L’arrière droit de 32 ans et son passeur allemand, dont c’était le dernier match en membership, sont entrés dans le livre d’or de la grande Coupe d’Europe, qu’ils remportent pour la sixième fois. Ils partagent désormais ce document avec Paco Gento, ailier du Actual ayant empilé six titres en Coupe d’Europe des golf equipment champions dans les années 1950-1960.

L’attaquant vedette brésilien Vinicius, 23 ans, a doublé la mise pour mettre les siens à l’abri et renforcé ses probabilities d’un premier Ballon d’or, un trophée désormais largement à sa portée.

L’éternel Actual termine sa saison avec seulement 2 défaites, un titre en championnat d’Espagne et une 15^e Ligue des champions, la 6^e en 11 années.

Le membership espagnol, que certains pensaient en fin de cycle, n’en finit plus d’écrire l’histoire. Et Kylian Mbappé n’est pas encore arrivé…

When Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang meet within the ring in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, they will accomplish that realizing the state of affairs could possibly be do or die for his or her championship hopes. Two of the heavyweight division’s strongest punchers, Wilder and Zhang each enter their combat coming off a loss of their most up-to-date outing, knocking them down the ladder in boxing’s glamour division.

In an fascinating twist, each Wilder and Zhang’s most up-to-date loss got here by the hands of Joseph Parker, who entered the ring as an underdog in each fights. Parker now sits above each males within the heavyweight division, which is in one thing of a growth interval following Oleksandr Usyk’s latest win over Tyson Fury to change into the division’s first four-belt undisputed champion.

Wilder is hoping to earn a shot at a kind of championships, having beforehand held the WBC championship from 2015 to 2020,  after he suffered a knockout loss to Fury.

Wilder ranks among the many hardest pound-for-pound punchers in boxing historical past, scoring 41 knockouts in his 42 profession victories. That energy wasn’t in a position to put Fury away of their three fights, the place Wilder managed a break up draw earlier than being stopped twice. The Parker combat raised new issues for Wilder as he didn’t combat aggressively, threw only a few punches and seemed typically tired of being within the combat en path to dropping by scores of 118-111, 118-110 and 120-108.

“I am very assured in what I have been stating,” Wilder stated on the ultimate press convention this week. “I am very excited to be working alongside Eddie, we’ve not had the most effective of relationships prior to now, however the factor about time is time brings about adjustments and I have been part of adjustments. At this era in time, we’re like a warrior’s drum, with one beat and one sound, and on this left aspect [with his four teammates in the 5 x 5 event] you’ll be able to really feel this vitality that we’re not taking part in no video games. We come to win and we come to knock them out. The 5 on 5, we’re happening a five-man sweep and I am trying ahead to Saturday evening.”

That very same degree of passivity and lack of fireside might spell catastrophe for Wilder in opposition to a fighter like Zhang, who has loads of pop of his personal and likes to let his fingers go early in fights. In 26 profession victories, Zhang has stopped 21 opponents.

After going undefeated in his first 25 skilled bouts, Zhang lastly tasted defeat when he misplaced a considerably controversial choice to Filip Hrgovic in August 2022. Zhang constructed on that loss by knocking out Joe Joyce to win the WBO interim title, retaining the belt with one other knockout within the rematch.

Zhang’s combat with Parker additionally uncovered a few of his Zhang’s flaws, principally in his tendency to expire of steam at varied factors within the combat. A number of fights have proven Zhang to fade within the later rounds, making for an fascinating distinction between his early aggression tendency to fade late in opposition to Wilder’s latest incapacity to tug the set off.

There are a couple of different notable fights on the cardboard, together with one other heavyweight showdown when Filip Hrgovic takes on Daniel Dubois for the vacant IBF interim championship. Hrgovic has lengthy been the IBF necessary challenger and was below the impression that the combat with Dubois could be for the IBF world title after the sanctioning physique acknowledged they might strip the Usyk vs. Fury winner in the event that they went forward with the contractually obligated rematch quite than defend in opposition to Hrgovic.

As an alternative, the IBF is taking their time to think about whether or not to grant Usyk an exemption for the Fury rematch. In the event that they do proceed with stripping Usyk, the winner of Hrgovic vs. Dubois would presumably be elevated to world champion. This led to some confusion this week when Hrgovic was requested whether or not he knew if the title could be on the road come Saturday.

“What do you imply it is not? It needs to be,” Hrgovic stated. “It needs to be for the belt, man. What are you speaking about? It’s. Yeah. That is what I heard. I imply, that was the plan from the start so what modified now? Who stated? You. I do not know, man, I anticipate it to be for the title. That is what I used to be informed. I do not know.”

WBA gentle heavyweight champion Dmitrii Bivol was initially slated to headline the cardboard in opposition to IBF, WBO and WBC champion Artur Beterbiev in a combat to crown an undisputed champion. After Beterbiev was pressured out of the combat on account of damage, Bivol selected to stay on the cardboard and can defend his title in opposition to undefeated Malik Zinad.

Prediction

Fights are hardly ever harder to foretell than Wilver vs. Zhang. That’s as a result of we merely do not know which model of Wilder goes to indicate up. Wilder has higher velocity and higher energy than Zhang, however which means nothing if Wilder approaches this combat the identical means he did in opposition to Parker. Zhang not less than threw at Parker and scored two knockdowns that saved the ultimate scorecards shut whereas Wilder solely threw 17 punches per spherical and landed 39 the whole combat.

If Wilder is able to go and actually has discovered his need once more, he is a reasonably straightforward option to do what he had at all times carried out and put Zhang down and out with an explosive shot. If Wilder would not have that fireside, Zhang will put the strain on early and pile up rounds to construct a snug lead. However will that lead maintain up if his tank runs dry and he turns into an open goal for a Wilder proper hand?

Every little thing is a guess at this level however it retains protruding that Wilder admitted he struggled to tug the set off in opposition to Parker and that is not often a great signal within the later phases of a fighter’s profession. Decide: Zhilei Zhang through UD

We have all made it, with our heroines who gave us our homeland, with our moms, our daughters and our granddaughters.”

Practically 100 million folks had been registered to vote, however turnout gave the impression to be barely decrease than in previous elections. Voters had been additionally electing governors in 9 of the nation’s 32 states, and selecting candidates for each homes of Congress, hundreds of mayorships and different native posts, within the largest elections the nation has seen and ones which have been marked by violence.

The elections had been broadly seen as a referendum on López Obrador, a populist who has expanded social applications however largely failed to scale back cartel violence in Mexico. His Morena celebration at present holds 23 of the 32 governorships and a easy majority of seats in each homes of Congress. Mexico’s structure prohibits the president’s reelection.

Sheinbaum promised to proceed all of López Obrador’s insurance policies, together with a common pension for the aged and a program that pays youths to apprentice.

Gálvez, whose father was Indigenous Otomi, rose from promoting snacks on the road in her poor hometown to start out her personal tech corporations. A candidate working with a coalition of main opposition events, she left the Senate final yr to focus her ire on López Obrador’s determination to keep away from confronting the drug cartels by his “hugs not bullets” coverage.

You need to change route, change management,” the 34-year-old stated. “Persevering with the identical approach, we’ll turn into Venezuela.”

On the fringes of Mexico Metropolis within the neighborhood of San Andres Totoltepec, electoral officers filed previous 34-year-old homemaker Stephania Navarrete, who watched dozens of cameramen and electoral officers gathering the place frontrunner Claudia Sheinbaum was set to vote.

Navarrete stated she deliberate to vote for Sheinbaum regardless of her personal doubts about López Obrador and his celebration.

“Having a lady president, for me as a Mexican lady, it will be like earlier than when for the straightforward reality that you just say you’re a lady you are restricted to sure professions. Not anymore.”

She stated the social applications of Sheinbaum’s mentor had been essential, however added that deterioration of cartel violence previously few years was her major concern on this election.

“That’s one thing that they must focus extra on,” she stated. “For me safety is the key problem. They stated they had been going to decrease the degrees of crime, however no, it was the other, they shot up. Clearly, I do not fully blame the president, however it’s in a sure approach his accountability.”

In Iztapalapa, Mexico Metropolis’s largest borough, Angelina Jiménez, a 76-year-old homemaker, stated she got here to vote “to finish this inept authorities that claims we’re doing effectively and (nonetheless) there are such a lot of useless.”

She stated the violence plaguing Mexico actually nervous her so she deliberate to vote for Gálvez and her promise to tackle the cartels. López Obrador “says we’re higher and it isn’t true. We’re worse.”

López Obrador claims to have diminished traditionally excessive murder ranges by 20% since he took workplace in December 2018. However that is largely a declare based mostly on a questionable studying of statistics. The true murder fee seems to have declined by solely about 4% in six years.

Simply because the upcoming November rematch between U.S. President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump has underscored deep divisions within the U.S., Sunday’s election revealed how severely polarized public opinion is in Mexico over the route of the nation, together with its safety technique and tips on how to develop the economic system.

Past the struggle for management of Congress, the race for Mexico Metropolis mayor – a put up now thought-about equal to a governorship – can also be vital.
