And they did it again on Saturday with "Anora", US indie director Sean Baker's raw and often-hilarious story about a New York erotic... Читать дальше...

French giants Toulouse had averaged 6.6 tries and over 44 points per game in the competition this season on their way to Saturday's showpiece match at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Toulouse made 242 tackles to their opponents' 137 across two gruelling hours of rugby, with Leinster completing an unwanted hat-trick of defeats after losing both the 2022 and 2023 Champions Cup finals to another French club, La Rochelle.

Ten Hag went into the final rocked by reports that he would be dismissed regardless of the result at Wembley. But United's beleaguered manager made a convincing case to remain in charge as he out-witted City boss Pep Guardiola to deliver the second trophy of his turbulent two-year reign. Now Ten Hag must wait to discover his fate after insisting he had not been told if he will be axed.

The world championship leader complained his car was "jumping like a kangaroo and gave him a headache" and he failed to take pole for the first time this season. "I'm not disappointed with the position, but with the performance the whole weekend," said the three-time world champion. "But it's no surprise. I knew our limitations coming into this weekend. We can take kerbs and it's like driving a go-kart with no suspension and no damping." In a closely-contested session, Ferrari's Monegasque home-town... Читать дальше...

For Leinster this agonising reverse in London meant they have lost the last three Champions Cup finals following successive defeats by another French club, La Rochelle. Superb defence was behind Toulouse's victory as they gained revenge for 2022 and 2023 semi-final defeats by Leinster. Neither side managed a try in a regulation 80 minutes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium that ended level at 15-15 after five penalties apiece Leinster, however, had arguably had more and better chances. Toulouse... Читать дальше...

"We did a perfect job as a team today," said Pogacar. Читать дальше...

After securing Ferrari's 250th pole position as a Formula One constructor and his third at his home-town circuit, the 26-year-old Monegasque driver said he was painfully aware that he had yet to score a Monte Carlo podium -- and was intent on winning Sunday's 78-lap race. "I know very well that more often than not qualifying is not everything, as much as it helps for Sunday's race, and we need to put everything together," he said. "In past years, we didn't manage to do so. "But we are a stronger... Читать дальше...

Ten Hag was reportedly set to be dismissed regardless of the result at Wembley after a troubled campaign that even the United manager described as "terrible" this week.
