Barcelona president Joan Laporta has revealed the Spanish club is 1.35bn euros (£1.15bn) in debt, describing the situation as "very worrying". The club's wage bill currently accounts for 103% of total income. Laporta blames predecessor Josep Maria Bartomeu for the debt, accusing him of leaving a "terrible inheritance". Extending Lionel Messi's contract would have made the wage bill accountable for 110% of revenue, which La Liga refused to accept. Messi announced an emotional exit from the Nou Camp last week and signed for Paris

Naomi Osaka broke down in tears before resuming her first news conference since the controversy over refusing to speak to media at the French Open.

India captain Virat Kohli said criticism from commentators motivated his tailenders in the 151-run win over England in the second Test at Lord's. Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah shared an unbroken stand of 89 for the ninth wicket to effectively end England's hopes of victory. Set 272 to win or bat 60 overs to draw, the hosts were bowled out for 120. "Someone told our tailenders that the commentary teams didn't rate them. They proved them wrong," said Kohli. "They made a point.

The 40-year-old Swiss, a 20-time Grand Slam champion, had two knee operations last year. In a video post on Instagram, Federer said he hoped the surgery would give him "a glimmer of hope" to return to action. He was knocked out in the quarter-finals at Wimbledon in July and then missed the Tokyo Olympics. "I'll be on crutches for many weeks, and also out of the game for many months," Federer, who turned 40 a week ago, said on Sunday evening. "It's going

The second Test is set for a grandstand finale after England made late inroads into the India batting on the fourth day at Lord's. England took three wickets for 20 runs to leave India 181-6, 154 ahead, with all four results possible on the final day. A see-saw Test continued to fluctuate on a compelling Sunday at Lord's, with England reducing India to 55-3, only for the tourists to grind it out through a partnership of 100 between Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane.

Kane - heavily linked with a move to Manchester City - sat out this pulsating encounter but Pep Guardiola wasted no time in throwing in his British record signing from Aston Villa. It was Son Heung-min who gave new manager Nuno Espirito Santo the perfect start to his reign with a low shot that snaked beyond Manchester City keeper Ederson 10 minutes after the break. Spurs fully deserved their win as they survived a shaky opening phase to play with real purpose, already

England captain Joe Root can get even better despite his prolific form, says team-mate Jonny Bairstow. Root made a magnificent 180 not out on day three of the second Test against India at Lord's, his second hundred in the space of eight days. It was his fifth Test century of 2021. Only Denis Compton and Michael Vaughan have made six in a year for England. "He is only 30 years old. He is still coming to his peak," Bairstow told BBC Sport. "It

The former Barcelona star was presented with fellow signings Sergio Ramos, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Georginio Wijnaldum and Achraf Hakimi. Messi watched from the stand as Mauricio Pochettino's side made it two Ligue 1 wins from two. Goals from Mauro Icardi, Kylian Mbappe, Julian Draxler and Pablo Sarabia ensured PSG's victory. Strasbourg, three goals down inside half-an-hour, had the better chances in the second half, and pulled the score back to 3-2 thanks to headers from Kevin Gameiro and Ludovic Ajorque. But after Alexander Djiku's second yellow

Bale, back from a loan spell at Tottenham, was in former Everton boss Ancelotti's first starting XI. Eden Hazard set up Benzema's opener with a nice flick and Nacho doubled the lead with a volley. Benzema scored again and Joselu slotted a penalty for Alaves before Vinicius Jr scored a late fourth for Real. David Alaba made his Real debut at left-back after his free-transfer move from Bayern Munich - and set up that late Vinicius goal. Real laboured in the first half

Mandhana, who has scored 167 runs in seven innings, will be replaced by Ireland's Gaby Lewis.

"I would love to be able to stay with the team until the final but we've been away from home for a long time with more tours ahead. I'll be watching the team at Lord's and hoping they

No one epitomized the resurgence that drove Liverpool on to secure an unlikely Champions League berth in May more than Trent Alexander-Arnold - so can that impressive late-season run now be a springboard to success this time around? After a morale-sapping 1-0 home defeat against soon-to-be-relegated Fulham on March 7, Liverpool's top-four hopes appeared in tatters, only for the club to then embark on a 10-match unbeaten Premier League run to close out the season. That title-winning form included eight wins as Jurgen
