Luis Enrique's PSG have been sensational during this tournament, with the reigning European champions creating so many chances and dominating games. They did have a tough time against Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals, but they got the job done, as they always seem to. Still, they did have two players sent off late on and that could impact them for this semifinal. PSG are the red-hot favorites to win this competition and it feels like they are destined to dominate the club game for years to come.

Well, until the final few minutes when they almost imploded. Kylian Mbappe is pushing hard to start as he's recovered from his stomach issue and there will be so much focus on the former PSG striker before, during and after this massive semifinal.

PSG team news, focus
Luis Enrique has lost both Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez to suspension after they were sent off in the quarterfinal against Bayern. Lucas Beraldo will likely come in to start for Pacho at center back and the only other selection dilemma Enrique has is whether to start Ousmane Dembele up top. Dembele came on and scored against Bayern and now he's back from injury it's likely he starts this game ahead of Bradley Barcola.
Real Madrid team news, focus
Xabi Alonso has a couple of big decisions to make in terms of his starting lineup. Dean Huijsen is suspended after picking up a red card late on against Borussia Dortmund. The young center back has been excellent in his first few games for Real Madrid but he will miss this huge match and Raul Asencio is likely to come in. Kylian Mbappe scored a beauty late on against Dortmund after coming off the bench and he will surely start against PSG. Young forward Gonzalo Garcia has been a revelation up top, scoring four goals in five games so far to lead the competition in scoring. But this is Mbappe. Against PSG. He has to start. David Alaba, Ferland Mendy, Eduardo Camavinga and Endrick remain out injured.

Struggling Nationals Fire Manager Dave Martinez, GM Mike Rizzo
An 11-game losing streak in June sealed the fate of Washington manager Davey Martinez and GM Mike ... More Rizzo, both fired Sunday. (Photo by) Dave Martinez, who managed the Washington Nationals to a surprise world championship in 2019, found himself out of a job before the end of the Independence Day weekend. Both Martinez and general manager Mike Rizzo, both credited with resurrecting the moribund franchise by scouting and acquiring a selection of promising prospects, were let go by the Nats with just 10 days to go before the All-Star break. Martinez, a former outfielder, is the fourth manager fired this season, along with Derek Shelton of Pittsburgh, Brandon Hyde of Baltimore, and Bud Black of Colorado. His firing came on the same day two of the team's most promising young stars, outfielder James Wood and pitcher Mackenzie Gore, made the National League All-Star team for the first time. Gore and Wood were part of the team's haul when it decided to trade former NL batting champion Juan Soto to the San Diego Padres at the 2022 trade deadline. That deal also brought CJ Abrams, Robert Hassell III, and Jarlin Susana to the nation's capital. It followed by a year another payroll-slicing swap that sent Max Scherzer and Trea Turner to the Dodgers for Josiah Gray and Keibert Ruiz, among others. The Nationals finished the weekend last in the National League East with a 37-53 record, suggesting a losing season for the sixth straight year since the wild-card world championship of 2019. Two stars of that season, third baseman Anthony Rendon and starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg, made no further contributions when they hit free agency immediately after the World Series. Endless injuries prevented Washington ace Stephen Strasburg from delivering on his seven-year, $245 ... More million contract. (Photo by) They received matching seven-year, $245 million contracts – Rendon from the Angels and Strasburg from the Nationals. But the pitcher suffered a series of injuries and won only one more game in three succeeding seasons. In announcing the release of the Rizzo-Martinez tandem, principal owner Mark Lerner issued a statement thanking them for their service. 'On behalf of our family and the Washington Nationals organization, I first and foremost want to thank Mike and Davey for their contributions to our franchise and our city. Our family is eternally grateful for their years of dedication to the organization, including their roles in bringing a World Series trophy to Washington. 'While we are appreciative of their past successes, the on-field performance has not been where we or our fans expect it to be. This is a pivotal time for our club, and we believe a fresh approach and new energy is the best course of action for our team.' The only teams with more losses than the Nationals are the White Sox and Rockies, both of whom also changed managers within the last calendar year. The White Sox lost a 121 games, a major-league record, last year and the Rockies started so poorly this season that they seemed certain to do even worse. Both Rizzo and Martinez had contracts containing club options for 2026 but the Nats decided they couldn't wait. Assistant general manager Mike DeBartolo will serve as interim GM for the balance of the season, with a new manager to be named later. He began as a front-office intern in 2012 and became assistant GM seven years later – just in time for the World Series victory. The Nationals have a history of high-profile pilots, including Davey Johnson and Dusty Baker, but also have a reputation for holding a short leash. Hoping for a quick rebuild, ownership will pay close attention to next week's draft of amateur free agents. Washington will get first pick in the draft, the same process that once brought Bryce Harper (now with Philadelphia) and Strasburg (now retired) to the club. With the trade deadline just two weeks after the draft, the Nationals could make considerable changes in an effort to reverse their fortunes. Free agency is another get-rich-quick scheme for potential contenders but only if the dollars, years, and health of the newly-signed player work out as planned. While Scherzer was a solid signing, Patrick Corbin and others did not deliver much return on investment. Washington won four NL East titles during an eight-year streak of winning seasons from 2012-19 but gradually fell from contention after that. Martinez, a former outfielder, succeeded Baker as Washington manager and almost lost his job early in 2019, when the team opened with a 19-31 record before clicking. The inability to keep Harper, who won his first MVP award with the Nationals, was a serious setback. The final dagger for Martinez was an 11-game losing streak last month, when Washington went 7-19. He won 500 games with Washington in a tenure that lasted nearly eight years. Whether Washington will be willing to raise its payroll either immediately or in post-season free agency remains to be seen. According to Roster Resource, the team ranks 22nd among the 30 clubs with a projected 2025 payroll tax payroll of $120 million. In the NL East, the only team that pays its players less is the Miami Marlins, who rank last at $87 million. The Fish, fresh from a recent winning streak, have passed the favored Braves in the standings to rank third, trailing only the Phillies and Mets as the weekend ended.

Former HBCU star leaves University of New Orleans
The post Former HBCU star leaves University of New Orleans appeared first on ClutchPoints. After joining Master P and the University of New Orleans in the Spring, Jamal Gibson is heading back to the HBCU basketball ranks with a new team. Xavier University of Louisiana announced that Gibson is committing to the program in a shocking move. Before transferring to the University of New Orleans, he played for Southern University of New Orleans. Advertisement Standing at 6'8″ with no prior playing experience, Jamal Gibson still managed to make a huge impact on the court. During the 2023-2024 season, his first with the team, Gibson excelled, averaging 21 points and 15.8 rebounds per game while leading the nation in total rebounds. He shattered several Southern University of New Orleans basketball records, including single-season points (579), rebounds (453), and double-doubles (27). Carrying his momentum into the 2024-2025 season, Gibson continued to dominate, achieving his 43rd consecutive double-double with a remarkable 26-point, 20-rebound game against Wilberforce University. His exceptional play earned him numerous conference and national honors, and he capped off the season by reclaiming his Player of the Year awards for both offense and defense. It seemed as if the University of New Orleans was a perfect landing spot for Gibson, as he wasted no time in committing to the program. After entering the transfer portal on April 1st, he was confirmed as a Privateer just two days later, on April 3rd. At this time, it's not known why he departed the program shortly after joining it in April. But, he now joins a strong XULA program that finished 20-10 (18-6 in conference) on last season. The team made the NAIA tournament but lost to Avc Maria 88-84 in overtime. Jamal Gibson's specific skillset could be an asset for the team as they look to stay competitive and continue their culture of winning, as they haven't had a losing season since the 2016-2017 season when they went 10-20 and 6-6 in conference.
