Claudia Bavel has exposed her chats with the football star, Lamine Yamal. The latter plays for Barcelona and allegedly hit on the former adult star, who is 11 years older than him. Bavel revealed that she was being 'chased' by the athlete after she asked him to wait until he turned 18. Moreover, the media personality spoke in Spanish on TV, claiming that Yamal asked her to come to his house. When Bavel refrained, stating that he wasn't even 18 yet, the football player assured her that she 'wouldn't end up in jail.' In addition to the controversy, Bavel also went viral on social media in the past few days after the Barcelona fans found similarities between her and Yamal's posts. Claudi Bavel exposes her alleged chats with Lamine Yamal While speaking on TV, Claudia revealed what happened between her and the football ace. As quoted by Sportskeeda, she stated, 'Lamine said to me: 'Come to my house, I have heating.' I told him: 'It would be too much because I'm about 11 years older than you, don't you think?' Lamine said: 'No, it's perfect!' I said: 'If I get arrested, you get me out of jail, hahaha!' Lamine replied, 'No, I give you my word.' He told me to stop the crap and not to think about his age... I was waiting for him to turn 18." Meanwhile, Bavel also dropped a statement on social media where she claimed that Yamal lied about what happened between the two and spun a fictional story about their relationship, which was never there. In her statement, Bavel mentioned, 'I chose not to speak publicly on this matter in 2025. However, since Lamine Yamal mentioned our alleged relationship on TardeAR, I find it appropriate to share my version with clarity and respect.' She further added, 'He claims to live with his mother but in reality lives alone. He says he rejected me when he was the one who sought my contact and insisted on meeting. He denies we've met, despite crossing paths at several social events." The media personality further clarified that she has never been in a relationship with a teenager and that no meeting was initiated by her. To conclude her statement, Claudia claimed that she asked for understanding and restraint from the audience, her fans, and followers.

"Playing Flashy Shots": Irfan Pathan 'Disappointed' With This India Star. It's Not Rishabh Pant
It was a superb start for India on their tour of England that comprises of five Test matches. On the opening day of the first game, the visitors got an invitation to bat first and scored 359 for 3 in 85 overs. Two India batters -- Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill -- scored terrific centuries to help the side dominate the play on Friday at Headingley, Leeds. KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant also played good knocks of 42 and 65 not out. The duo of Jaiswal and KL Rahul stitched 91 runs for the first wicket and India never looked back on the day since then. Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan heaped praises on the start of the Gill-led side but pointed out that Rahul could have played better. During a discussion on Sony Sports as quoted by Sportskeeda, he highlighted the right-handed batter was going for risky shots and said that it was not his strength. "The Indian openers added more than 50 runs in Headingley for the first time in 39 years. So, India wouldn't have expected a better start than that. However, the two wickets that fell (in the first session), I will be slightly more disappointed with KL Rahul because playing flashy shots is not his strength," he said. Rahul smashed 8 fours during his knock of 42 while he was dismissed after playing 78 balls. It was a full delivery well outside off-stump from Brydon Carse that saw Rahul losing his wicket. The ball was swinging outside and Rahul ended up edging it to Joe Root at first slip. "He played flashy shots twice or thrice, the ball went in the air, and he could have gotten out there. When the wicket fell, you had gotten set by then. You had already stitched together a 91-run partnership, you had made the ball old, and downed their spirits," Pathan added. Jaiswal, who smashed his first century on England soil, credited senior batter Rahul for his guidance during their opening stand. "KL Rahul is very experienced. I can understand a lot by talking to him - where the runs can be made and how we can carry on the innings. It was a lot of fun to play with him," he said, highlighting their camaraderie developed during India A tours and pre-series preparation.

Pam Shriver pens emotional note after ‘challenging' year and split with Donna Vekic: ‘I need to lean even more…'
Pam Shriver, International Tennis Hall of Famer and 22-time Grand Slam doubles champion, announced she is leaving her role as coaching consultant to World No. 22 Donna Vekić. Shriver, who joined Vekić's camp in late 2022, cited a punishing season off court in Los Angeles as the catalyst for her decision. This includes having had to evacuate her home during the devastating wildfires and the temporary loss of her prized trophies. 'It's been a challenging year,' Shriver wrote on X. 'I need to lean even more into my community & my family's wellbeing.' From San Diego to Wimbledon: How the coach-player duo started Their partnership began at the San Diego Open, where Shriver offered courtside insights after spotting Vekić's standout performance in qualifying. Impressed, Vekić brought Shriver on as an advisor alongside coach Nikola Horvat, and later with Sascha Bajin. The results followed swiftly. In just five months, Vekić climbed from world No. 77 to No. 20 in the WTA rankings, as per Sportskeeda. Under Shriver's guidance, she reached her first Grand Slam semifinal at Wimbledon, though she lost to Jasmine Paolini in what was perhaps the longest semifinal in the tournament's history. That momentum carried into the summer, where Vekić secured a silver medal at the Paris Olympics, beating Coco Gauff before falling to Zheng Qinwen. Shriver's personal loss forces a choice Pam Shriver's Los Angeles life was upended in early 2025 when wildfires forced her from her Brentwood home, as reported by WTA. While evacuating, her car, which was packed with 11 of her Grand Slam doubles trophies, was stolen from a hotel parking lot. 'Really sad on so many levels,' she later admitted, after the trophies were recovered. Despite continuing to mentor Vekić remotely through the Australian Open, the ordeal took its toll. In her X post, Shriver called her stint with Vekić 'one of the greatest experiences' she has had in her 50-plus years in tennis, but made clear her priorities have shifted back to family and community. What's next for Donna Vekić? As Shriver departs, Donna Vekić enters the middle of the grass-court season without her veteran adviser. With this official exit, the Croatian will now be working with Sascha Bajin as her main coach this year. Coming off a lean patch in 2025—including early losses at Queen's Club—Vekić will now look to her remaining coaches to sustain the momentum built during her breakthrough seasons.
