Atalanta captain receives one of the most embarrassing red cards you will ever see
Things came to a head in the 87th minute of a UEFA Champions League match between Atalanta and Club Brugge on Tuesday. Brugge was in the process of finishing off a 5-2 win in aggregate over the Italian club, a significant upset in the first round of the tournament's knockout stage.
As the minutes ticked down on Atalanta's UCL bid, Tolói received some hard contact from Brugge's Maxim De Cuyper out of bounds. Tolói by completely humiliating himself.
His first reaction was take the ball and spike De Cuyper in the head with it. However, the ball slipped out of Tolói's hand like a cartoon. The throw also pushed Tolói off balance enough that he then fell directly on his face.
De Cuyper then turned his back and jogged away, at which point Tolói charged him and, after pushing past a ref, slammed him to the ground. It goes without saying he received a red card.

Why Shohei Ohtani left Dodgers game mid at-bat with trainer
UPDATE: The Dodgers announced that Shohei Ohtani left Wednesday's game with cramps. ORIGINAL STORY: The Los Angeles Dodgers and their fans are likely holding their breath when it comes to their star pitcher. Shohei Ohtani was pulled from Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds in the middle of an at-bat in the fourth inning after he threw six straight balls — none of them particularly close. The pitcher walked off the mound with a trainer looking frustrated. Ohtani made his 2025 pitching debut in June after missing the entire 2024 season after he tore his UCL in August 2023. The two-way phenom underwent elbow surgery that September, and had another surgery on his shoulder in September 2024 to repair a torn labrum. Despite the UCL tear, Ohtani still played in 159 games in 2024 and made MLB history when he became the first major league player to have at least 50 home runs and as many stolen bases. The 31-year-old finished with 54 homers and 59 stolen bases. Ohtani's offense has helped the Dodgers to a National League West-best 63-45 record this season with 38 home runs and 73 RBI. It's unclear if Ohtani was removed due to injury, but he remained in the game as the Dodgers designated hitter.

Tottenham Get Good News Amid Man Utd, Newcastle Fight to Sign €45M-Rated PSG Outcast
Randal Kolo Muani made a strong impression during his loan spell at Juventus, contributing 10 goals and assists in 19 appearances across all competitions. However, with no agreement yet between Juventus and PSG, his future remains unclear, and several Premier League clubs are showing growing interest. According to Corriere dello Sport, Juventus have submitted a €10 million paid loan offer to PSG, which includes a purchase clause that would become mandatory if the club qualifies for the Champions League. PSG, however, are holding out for a guaranteed transfer fee in the €40 million to €45 million range. Chelsea, Newcastle, and especially Manchester United are all closely monitoring Kolo Muani's situation ahead of a possible summer move. Are Juventus out of the race for PSG outcast?Journalist Sacha Tavolieri reports that relations between PSG and Juventus have become tense over Randal Kolo Muani, opening the door for Tottenham to step in. Spurs are now pushing to accelerate talks with PSG, even though the French forward still favors a move to Juventus. As a result, with Tottenham still looking to strengthen their attack and have set their sights on Kolo Muani, according to a report from Foot Mercato on Thursday. The club are reportedly ready to make a straight transfer offer to PSG, an approach the French side would be open to. But Spurs aren't the only ones keen on the forward. The report notes that Manchester United and Newcastle are also in the race, both looking for a long-term striker. That could make things more difficult for Juventus, who are still trying to offload players and raise funds. Competing with the financial power and appeal of Premier League clubs could prove to be a challenge for the Italian side.
