🎥 OTD: Bayern's historic UCL rout of Barcelona 😳
Having dismantled the LaLiga giants 4-0 in Munich, Jupp Heynckes' men dispelled any hopes of a comeback with a rampant 3-0 win. All the goals came in the second half with Arjen Robben and Thomas Müller's strikes coming either side of a Gerard Piqué own goal.
The 7-0 aggregate win is the biggest semi-final win in the post-1992 Champions League era, and only topped once ever over the 70 years of the competition's history.

Bayern went onto win the famous trophy at Wembley, with Robben scoring a late winner in an all-German affair with Borussia Dortmund, which numbed the pain of their final loss a year before and completed a stunning treble.

Luis Diaz Shares Emotional Farewell Message After Sealing Move to Bayern Munich
Luis Diaz Bids Emotional Farewell to Liverpool With Poignant Message Departure Marked by Genuine Emotion As Liverpool began their pre-season preparations in Yokohama, a message from 5,900 miles away brought a wave of emotion to the fanbase. Luis Diaz, now officially a Bayern Munich player following his £65.5 million transfer, used the moment to say goodbye in a message that echoed with sincerity and heart. Posting on Instagram just as Arne Slot's side were stepping onto the pitch in Japan, the Colombian international offered words that resonated with everyone connected to the club. His farewell was not scripted nor manufactured. It was the expression of a player who fully embraced Liverpool and its people. 'Three-years-and-a-half that I'll treasure forever. I arrived with all the dreams in the world, and I am leaving proud of everything we achieved together,' he wrote. Photo: IMAGO Legacy Built on Commitment and Class Signed from Porto in January 2022, Diaz swiftly became one of Liverpool's most reliable performers. He lifted the League Cup, FA Cup and most recently, the Premier League, under new manager Arne Slot. His tally of 17 goals in 2024/25 underlined both his productivity and importance, even as competition on the left wing intensified. There were stretches where Cody Gakpo was preferred, but Diaz never withdrew. Instead, he remained the embodiment of commitment, energy and flair. His departure was always going to feel significant, but it is his final words that truly underline what he meant to the club. Farewell Carries Tribute to Jota In a particularly moving moment, Diaz honoured former teammate Diogo Jota, who tragically passed away earlier this year. His tribute offered a glimpse into the deep bonds that existed within the squad. 'It would have been the perfect goodbye if we hadn't lost one of ours in such a tragic way,' Diaz wrote. 'As I said, and I repeat, I carry everyone with me in my heart, but one of them in particular: Diogo. I will never forget him. We will never forget him.' That sentiment will not be lost on the Liverpool dressing room or supporters. Diaz's message reinforces that football is far more than contracts and transfers. It is about people, connection and memory. Instagram: @luisdiaz19_ What Comes Next for Club and Player With Hugo Ekitike now part of Liverpool's squad and further interest in signing Alexander Isak, the competition for attacking places was always likely to increase. The timing of Diaz's departure, then, is as practical as it is emotional. Yet it does not make it any easier to accept. The player who arrived with ambition now leaves with medals and memories, not just for himself but for those he played alongside. Now in Bavaria, Diaz starts a new chapter with Bayern Munich. But his parting words will remain etched in Liverpool's modern story. His humility, empathy and passion made him a favourite. His farewell message confirms he will be remembered with affection and respect.

Caitlin Clark soccer video adds to injury confusion among Fever fans
This tale of the tape has Caitlin Clark fans confused. The star Fever guard — who has not suited up since July 15 when she sustained a groin injury versus the Sun — raised the eyebrows of some social media users when she was seen kicking a soccer ball around in footage from a recent visit to McCombs Middle School in Des Moines, where she opened a new basketball court with the Caitlin Clark Foundation. 'Did she forget she has a groin injury?' one X user remarked Tuesday. 3 Caitlin Clark is seen kicking a soccer ball in a July 2025 X video. @clrkszn/X 'If she can do that hip motion, she needs to be playing basketball,' another stated. One fan urged Clark, 23, 'to rest and get healed!' Clark, the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year, has been sidelined numerous times throughout her sophomore campaign. She missed time early in the 2025 season due to a left quadriceps strain and suffered a groin injury in late June. Clark returned to action in early July, only to be sidelined again later in the month after re-injuring her groin, missing the WNBA All-Star festivities. 3 Caitlin Clark has been sidelined throughout her sophomore WNBA campaign. Getty Images ESPN's Holly Rowe reported Sunday that Clark 'did see a specialist last week and no additional injury was found in that exam and scans,' with the Fever poised to 'be even more cautious in their approach to her return to play this time.' 'Last time when she came back from injury, she didn't get any practice time [or] any time to ramp up her conditioning. This time, they're going to make sure she has time and practices to get rhythm and time with her teammates,' Rowe said. 3 Caitlin Clark looks on during a Fever game on July 27, 2025. AP 'As you look at their schedule, the third week in August provides a few more practice days where that seems like it's realistic. While she does remain day to day, that seems like a better timetable for a possible Caitlin Clark return.' The Fever, winners of this year's Commissioner's Cup, are currently 14-12 and in sixth placce in the WNBA. Through 13 games this season, Clark is averaging 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 8.8 assists. She appeared in 40 of the Fever's games last season and averaged 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 8.4 assists. The Fever host the Mercury (16-9) on Wednesday.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto's home damaged in attempted burglary with Dodgers on road
Another star athlete was the target of a home burglary Wednesday morning. Three people attempted to break into the Los Angeles-area home of Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto at around 5 a.m., according to TMZ Sports. While surveillance video reportedly caught the group smashing a glass door and multiple windows, they did not enter the 26-year-old's home, fleeing after private security called 911.

Several other star athletes have been the victim of home burglaries over the last year. Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce of the Chiefs each had their homes broken into last October, while Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow's house was hit in December. Bobby Portis of the Bucks also had his home burglarized in November. In February, seven Chilean nationals were charged with conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property after heisting more than $2 million in valuables. They were caught after photos were found of some of them posing with some of the stolen items. Yamamoto is in the second season of a 12-year, $325 million contract with the Dodgers after coming over from Japan last year; the Mets offered him a similar contract.

Yamamoto allowed one run in seven innings with nine strikeouts during a win against the Reds on Monday.
