WATCH: Kylian Mbappe's stunning first Club World Cup goal for Real Madrid against Dortmund

The Hindua day ago
Kylian Mbappe's wait for a first FIFA Club World Cup was extinguished on Saturday after the forward's stoppage-time effort sealed Real Madrid's place in the semifinal.
The French striker missed the entirety of the group phase of the tournament with gastroenteritis and only managed a substitute appearance in the last game against Juventus.
The 26-year-old scored an acrobatic kick in the fourth minute of stoppage time to extend Madrid's lead after a goal by Maximilliam Beier two minutes before had brought Borussia Dortmund to within a goal of Madrid.
Despite Mbappe's effort, a red card for Dean Huijsen in the sixth minute of stoppage time and a penalty by Serhou Guirassy in the eighth minute meant Los Blancos had to survive some nervy moments before sealing a semifinal tie against UEFA Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain.

Wimbledon expansion plan goes into legal tie-break

Wimbledon fans will have eyes only for the tennis this week, but for those who run the world's oldest and most prestigious Grand Slam, the real high-stakes contest will unfold not on their grass but in London's Royal Courts of Justice. On one side of the legal net is the campaign group Save Wimbledon Park, while facing them in a judicial review of their ambitious expansion plan on Tuesday and Wednesday will be the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC). It is the latest stage of a long-running fight that has split the south-west London 'village', which has been home to the Championships since 1877. Last September, the AELTC secured planning permission from the Greater London Authority (GLA) to treble the size of the main site to include 39 new courts, including an 8,000-seat show court, by redeveloping a former golf course on parkland land it already owns. The 200-million-pound ($272.92-million) expansion aims to increase daily capacity to 50,000 people from the current 42,000, upgrade facilities, and move the qualifying rounds on site to mirror the Australian, French, and U.S. Opens. The plans have the backing of several leading players, including Novak Djokovic, and 62% of 10,000 residents in Merton and Wandsworth, the London boroughs that share the new site, also support the scheme, according to the AELTC. 'Our confidence in the development and the proposals that we've been working on for many years is as strong as it ever has been,' Wimbledon tournament director Jamie Baker told Reuters. 'For the championships to continue to be in the position that it is and to deliver all the benefits to stakeholders, including the local community, it is vital that we are able to stage the tournament on one site and bring all the grounds together.' ALSO READ: Alcaraz resists red-hot Rublev to reach quarterfinals However, this week's judicial review will decide whether the GLA's decision to grant planning permission was unlawful. Opponents of the development, including Thelma Ruby, a 100-year-old former actress who lives in a flat overlooking the park, and West Hill Ward Councillor Malcolm Grimston, say the club's plans will cause environmental damage and major disruption to the area. 'It's terribly important that it does not go ahead, not just for myself but for the whole planet and future generations,' Ruby told Reuters. 'I overlook this beautiful landscape, and there are all sorts of covenants that say you mustn't build on it, and yet the tennis people have this unnecessary plan they admit will cut down all these glorious trees, which will harm wildlife. 'They're using concrete, building roads, they're going to have lorries polluting and passing my window every 10 minutes. The whole area will be in chaos as they're closing off roads,' she said. Save Wimbledon Park says the GLA failed to consider covenants that were agreed by the AELTC, including restrictions on redeveloping the land, when it bought the Wimbledon Park golf course freehold from Merton council in 1993 for 5.2 million pounds. The AELTC paid a reported 63.5 million pounds to buy the Golf Club's lease, which was due to run until 2041. The campaign group also believes the GLA failed to consider the land's statutory Public Recreation Trust status, which means it should be held as 'public walks or pleasure grounds'. 'It is not antipathy towards the AELTC that's driving this, as some of the benefits are real, such as the extension of the lake,' councillor Grimston told Reuters. 'The problem is that it will treble the footprint of the current Championship and turn what currently has very much a feel of being rural England and a gentle pace of life into an industrial complex that would dominate the views of the lake. 'That's why it's classified as Metropolitan Open Land, which is the urban equivalent of the green belt that has been protected for many decades in planning law in the UK and rightly so,' he said. The AELTC say the plans will improve the biodiversity of the park, as well as bring parts of it back into public use. 'The London Wildlife trust has endorsed the plans, they've spent many hours scrutinising our analysis and our expert views,' the AELTC's head of corporate affairs, Dominic Foster, said. 'We know that this expansion will deliver a very significant benefit to biodiversity, whereas golf courses are not good for biodiversity.' Related Topics Wimbledon / Wimbledon 2025

Strong third quarter sends Storm to 79-70 victory over the Liberty

NEW YORK — Gabby Williams scored 16 points, Nneka Ogwumike added 15 to help the Seattle Storm beat the New York Liberty 79-70 on Sunday. HT Image The Storm trailed by three at the half before outscoring New York 22-6 in the third quarter. They held the Liberty to just 2-for-18 shooting from the field in the period, including New York missing its first 10 shots. Meanwhile, Skylar Diggins, Ogwumike and Williams were converting on the other end. Dominique Malonga, the No. 2 pick in the draft, took over at the end of the quarter. She didn't play in the first half, but made the most of her minutes in the second. The 6-foot-6 French forward had 11 points and eight rebounds in just 10 minutes. She also altered a few of Breanna Stewart's shots on the defensive end. Stewart finished with just eight points, the first time she hadn't reached double digits since the opening game of the 2024 season. New York also lost reserve forward Isabelle Harrison to an injury with 2:31 left in the third quarter. She went down underneath the New York basket and had to be helped off the court. She didn't return. It was a back-and-forth first half that saw nine lead changes. New York got a little bit of a cushion thanks to Ionescu's four-point play with 13.8 seconds left in the second quarter that made it 44-39. The Liberty led 44-41 at the half. She finished the opening 20 minutes with 20 points, five rebounds and four assists. She only had two points in the second half and led the Liberty with 22. Ionescu missed the first meeting between the teams two weeks ago with a neck injury.
