Achraf Hakimi: "We are really happy and proud of the effort"
When asked to summarise the performance from Paris Saint-Germain, he said: 'We are really happy and proud of the effort of our team. We know that Bayern was a tough team, and I think we did what we needed to do to take the victory - we are happy about that.' He added that Bayern was a team that 'plays similar football to us', with a similar mentality and strategy to that of Paris Saint-Germain itself.

When asked who he would prefer in the second semifinal, between Spanish champions Real Madrid CF and German side Borussia Dortmund, the Moroccan international responded: 'I think it is not really important [who our opponent is] - I think we need to focus on us, always coming in and being ready to face them, and try to win'.
The interview was about to conclude, but Hakimi wanted to speak about Jamal Musiala's injury. He said about the matter: 'For Musiala, I think that this match was something very important for him today - I want to give my support for him, and I hope he will come back soon, that we get to see him on the pitch again soon'.
Paris Saint-Germain will face one of Real Madrid CF or Borussia Dortmund in the second semifinal; that match will start Wednesday, 15.00 (EDT) / 21.00 (CET) in East Rutherford.

Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw, Yoshinobu Yamamoto named NL All-Stars; Yusei Kikuchi to represent Halos
Dodgers starting pitchers Clayton Kershaw and Yoshinobu Yamamoto were named to the National League All-Star Game on Sunday, joining three other Boys in Blue who will be representing the team next week in Atlanta. They'll suit up alongside the NL's leading vote-getter in Shohei Ohtani, first baseman Freddie Freeman and catcher Will Smith, all three of whom were picked by the fans as starters.

Even though he's only started nine games so far this season, Kershaw made history in his most recent start by securing his 3,000th career strikeout. He sports a 4-0 record with a 3.43 ERA and 32 Ks in just over 44 innings pitched. His selection comes at the hands of MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred, who named Kershaw as the 65th All-Star with the "Legend Pick," the first since 2022 when it was used on both Miguel Cabrera and Albert Pujols. Yamamoto, on the other hand, has been the Dodgers most consistent starter. In 17 starts, Yamamoto has 96 and 2/3 innings pitched with 109 strikeouts and a 2.51 ERA. He was one of Major League Baseball's six National League picks. The Dodgers lead the way in All-Star selections with five, followed by the Detroit Tigers and Seattle Mariners, who have four selections each.

He is a three-time NPB All-Star, last appearing in the game in 2018, the season before he signed with Seattle out of Japan. Kikuchi was one of MLB's six American League picks, thanks in large part to his strong showing to start the 2025 campaign. In 18 starts, he has a 2.81 ERA and 106 strikeouts. 2025 All-Star Game rosters The 2025 All-Star Game, the 95th in MLB history, is slated to take place on Tuesday, July 15 at Truist Park in Atlanta, Georgia.

Raúl Jiménez Pays Tribute To Late 'Great Friend' Diogo Jota At Gold Cup Final
Mexico striker Raúl Jiménez made a pair of touching tributes to his late teammate Diogo Jota during the Concacaf Gold Cup final at NRG Stadium in Houston on Sunday. Before kickoff, Jiménez walked onto the pitch wearing a Mexico jersey with the name "Diogo J" on the back. Jiménez was teammates with the Portuguese forward for two seasons at Wolverhampton Wanderers when the club was in the Premier League. Jota and his brother were killed in a car accident in Spain when the Lamborghini they were driving in veered off a road and burst into flames, police said Thursday. Jota was 28 years old and his brother, André, was 25. "Diogo was a great friend who was with me at Wolves. There were times that we stayed in communication, we shared wonderful moments aside from the important things we were chasing for that time. It is hard to see this, someone so close to you who was a great friend," Jimenez said Saturday. Then, when Jiménez scored the equalizer for Mexico against the United States in the 27th minute, Jiménez sat down and did Jota's signature celebration, which involves sitting down and playing with an imaginary gaming controller. Jiménez also draped the custom Mexico jersey with Jota's name on the back over his crossed legs. Paris Saint-Germain forward Ousmane Dembélé did the same after his goal at the FIFA Club World Cup, as did Real Salt Lake winger Diogo Gonçalves, who came up in Portugal's youth ranks with Jota. Explaining the celebration Diogo Jota was more than a massive fan of EA Sports FC (formerly EA Sports FIFA); he was an accomplished player. In April 2020, Jota famously went 30-0 in FUT Champions, the premier competition in EA Sports FC's Ultimate Team. As a result of his undefeated record, Jota was ranked among the Top 20 players in the world — and it didn't stop there. Jota qualified for the FIFA Global Series Qualifier — one of the fiercest FIFA competitions in Europe — in 2022. He lost to 2017 world champion Gorilla in his tournament debut, but was heralded for holding his own. Jota became the owner of esports team Galaxy racer in 2023 and merged it with his own team, Diogo Jota Sports, which was later renamed to Luna Sports. Luna Sports won the FC 24 Esports World Cup last year through EA FC pro João Vasconcelos.

Giants' Logan Webb, Robbie Ray, Randy Rodriguez named National League All-Stars
Three San Francisco Giants pitchers will be heading to Atlanta for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game on July 15. Starters Logan Webb and Robbie Ray and reliever Randy Rodriguez were selected to the National League All-Star team. Webb, 28, is 8-6 with a 2.62 ERA over 120 1/3 innings, which is the most innings pitched in the NL as of Sunday. He is second in the NL with 133 strikeouts. Webb appeared in the All-Star Game in 2024, making this his second selection. Ray, 33, is 9-3 with a 2.68 ERA over 107 1/3 innings this season. It's his second All-Star selection, with the only other coming in 2017. He won the American League Cy Young in 2021 with the Toronto Blue Jays, but was not selected to the All-Star game. This will be Rodriguez's first All-Star Game. The 25-year-old has posted a 0.71 ERA in 38 innings.
