MADRID (AP) — Leeds hammered woeful Newcastle 4-1 to go third in the Premier League on Monday while Real Betis won 2-1 at Villarreal to move equal on points with second-place Real Madrid in La Liga.
The top two in Italy, Roma and Inter Milan, won comfortably to maintain their 100 per cent records and Como beat Parma 2-1 to climb into third spot.
Betis' fairy tale start to the Spanish season continued with victory over Villarreal.
The win, courtesy of goals from Cucho Hernández and Natan, came 10 days after it beat Real Madrid 1-0 in La Liga, and less than a week after it overcame Lille 3-2 in its first Champions League group match since 2005.
The result at Estadio de la Ceramica lifts Betis into second place, tied with Madrid on 12 points. Barcelona is top on 15.

LONDON (AP) — The NFL will play a record nine games internationally this season and they include three cities hosting for the first time: Melbourne, Australia; Rio de Janeiro; and Paris.
Jacksonville and San Francisco both play two games abroad: the Jaguars back-to-back in London; the 49ers in Melbourne and later in Mexico City.
Here's some handy information about the games and locations.
The NFL's first international game of the season might be hard to top attendance-wise. Mike Evans, Demarcus Robinson and Deebo Samuel caught touchdown passes from Brock Purdy, and the San Francisco 49ers routed the Los Angeles Rams 27-7 in the NFL's first regular-season game in Australia. There were 100,021 fans at the Melbourne Cricket Ground for the game, the seventh-largest regular season crowd in NFL history. It was the second-largest international NFL match by attendance, topped only in October 2005 when the 49ers lost 31-14 to the Arizona Cardinals before 103,467 fans at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.
The league had never staged a regular-season game so far from home — it's a nearly 16-hour flight from the U.S. West Coast. The NFL West matchup kicked off at 10:35 a.m. local time Friday, Sept. 11, in Melbourne — which was 8:35 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 10 on the U.S. East Coast.

The Apertura 2026 has once again confirmed the evolution of Diego Campillo. The center back who came through the Cantera Rojiblanca has established himself as an immensely valuable piece for Guadalajara and, matchday after matchday, has shown that his growth goes hand in hand with a greater influence within Gabriel Milito's system.
Ahead of Jornada 8, in which Chivas will host Pumas at Estadio AKRON, Campillo emerges as the player to watch for El Rebaño Sagrado, both because of the level he has shown throughout the tournament and because of his previous performances against the university side.
The 24-year-old defender has played in 6 of Guadalajara's 7 matches in AP26, and he has found an ideal setting in the libero position to maximize some of his main strengths: reading the game, defending large ****** es and his ability to initiate attacks from the back.
Campillo has become one of the main players responsible for maintaining Guadalajara's high defensive line. On many occasions, he is the last man back and, from that position, he has had to directly face forwards with tremendous quality and very different characteristics.
Throughout this tournament, he has demonstrated his ability to prevail in individual duels against powerful and fast attackers, while also improving considerably when defending the ****** e behind the defensive line.

Manchester City completed the signing of Allan from Palmeiras during the lattee stages of the summer transfer window. The Brazilian winger is one of Manchester City's more intriguing signings for some time. Allan has taken a different route to earn his move to City. He rose through the ranks at Palmeiras before establishing himself on the right wing for Abel Ferreira's side. It was hoped that Allan would be in the City squad for last Saturday's match against Coventry City. But that wasn't to be. Instead, he could be in line to make his City debut against FC Porto tonight.
It was a surprise that Allan didn't make the bench for Manchester City's win over Coventry City last Saturday. However, it was reported by Enzo Krieger for CityXtra that Allan wasn't deemed fit enough to play at the Etihad. However, that situation has quickly changed. Allan has been included in Manchester City's travelling squad for tonight's match against FC Porto at the Estádio do Dragão. Also, he did train with his teammates yesterday. At this stage, it would be a major surprise if Allan wasn't at least on the bench for the opening fixture of Manchester City's 2026-27 UEFA Champions League campaign.
There would seem to be little chance that Allan would start tonight against FC Porto. He hasn't been at Manchester City for long and the Brazilian winger also wasn't fit enough to make the bench against Coventry City. Stranger things have happened but it would be unlikely that Allan will start tonight.
However, there is a chance that Allan could come off the bench tonight. Perhaps being an impact substitute may be the best way for Maresca to introduce Allan to the fold. The Brazilian winger is a quick winger blessed with quality dribbling skills and the ability to work hard on both sides of the ball. Maybe that is how Allan will make his City debut and tonight may be the right setting for Allan to play a small role for Enzo Maresca's side depending on how tonight's match unfolds.
Allan was included in Manchester City's travelling sqaud for tonight's match against FC Porto. So there is a chance that one of the more intriguing signings that City have made could get on the pitch for the first time as a Manchester City player. Whether or not it occurs remains to be seen but Allan's City debut is edging ever closer.

Manchester City begin their 2026-27 Champions League campaign at Porto on Tuesday, the first night of the new league phase and a landmark occasion for Enzo Maresca, who takes charge of a Champions League match for City for the first time since succeeding Pep Guardiola.
Both sides arrive with perfect domestic records, setting up the fifth competitive meeting between two clubs who have never previously finished on the losing side against each other. Porto return to the Champions League proper for the first time since 2023-24 having reclaimed the Primeira Liga ****** le last season, and they arrive full of confidence after seven straight wins in all competitions.
City, by contrast, head to Portugal having laboured to a narrow 1-0 win over Coventry City at the weekend, a game in which club-record £125m signing Enzo Fernandez was thrust into the starting XI earlier than planned following an injury to Nico O'Reilly. Maresca's side have won all three Premier League matches so far this season, though their away form in Europe has been notably shakier than their home record.
Date: Tuesday, 8 September 2026Kick-off: 20:00 BSTVenue: Estádio do Dragão, PortoReferee: Szymon Marciniak (POL)Last meeting: Porto 0-0 Manchester City, 1 December 2020, Champions League (Group Stage)
Jan Bednarek serves a one-match ban having been sent off in last season's Europa League quarter-final defeat to Nottingham Forest, meaning Nehuen Perez is set to partner Jakub Kiwior in central defence. Victor Froholdt, who was knocked unconscious and hospitalised during last weekend's win over Moreirense, remains sidelined along with Vasco Sousa, Oskar Pietuszewski, Gabriel Mec, Zaidu Sanusi and Samu Aghehowa. Diogo Costa continues in goal behind a defence that has conceded only once in six matches this season.

Manchester City open their Champions League campaign at Porto on Tuesday, with Enzo Maresca taking charge of a European fixture for the club for the first time.
City arrive on the back of three straight Premier League wins, though a three-day turnaround before Sunday's Manchester derby is likely to shape his selection.
Porto have never beaten City in a competitive meeting, but their unbeaten start to the season and vociferous home support make the Estádio do Dragão an awkward opening ******* ignment.
Nico O'Reilly is a serious doubt for Tuesday's trip to Portugal after suffering a back injury in the warm-up before Saturday's win over Coventry City, forcing Enzo Fernandez into an unplanned full debut. Jeremy Doku remains sidelined with the calf problem that has kept him out of City's opening three Premier League fixtures.
Iliman Ndiaye was withdrawn in the 87th minute of his own debut with cramp, though the issue is not considered serious and he should be available for selection. With O'Reilly a doubt and Doku out, Maresca's options in wide areas are reduced to Phil Foden, Rayan Cherki and Antoine ******* yo.

Barcelona will meet Valencia in their next La Liga encounter on Sunday as they look to continue their winning run in the new season.
Date: Sunday, 6th September.
Kick-off: 3:15pm BST.

Valencia CF faces a severe squad selection crisis ahead of their home clash at Mestalla against league leaders Barcelona. Manager Carlos Corberán is dealing with a heavily depleted roster, with six key first-team players officially ruled out due to injury.

Through its effectiveness, game management and composure to hold onto the result, Chivas defeated Atlético San Luis 3-0 this afternoon at Estadio Libertad Financiera in Jornada 7 of the Apertura 2026. The team coached by Gabriel Milito has found consistency at the start of the second third of the tournament, reaching 14 points and temporarily moving into second place.
Guadalajara came out firing, as it already had a significant 0-2 lead before the 10-minute mark, thanks to the mobility of its players and the efficiency of its attackers in front of goal. Of course, this allowed the Rojiblancos to take control of the match.
With the support of the Chivahermanos in San Luis Potosí, who never stopped cheering, the Guadalajara side was able to manage Atlético's attempts to respond. At the same time, there was never a real sense of danger in Chiverío's defensive area, which in turn allowed Guadalajara to find the definitive goal.
Next week, Chivas will return home to host Pumas in J8 of AP26. The match will take place on Sunday, September 13, at 7:07 PM.

With their sights set on securing their fourth win of the tournament, Chivas are ready for another Apertura 2026 challenge. Guadalajara are already in the capital of San Luis Potosí, where they will visit Atlético de San Luis at Estadio Libertad Financiera in a Jornada 7 matchup.
Ahead of this game, Gabriel Milito and his coaching staff have selected the 22 players who make up the rojiblanca squad, with an important return to the Rebaño standing out and generating plenty of anticipation among Chivahermanos.
What are the changes to the squad?
Daniel Aguirre has been included in the squad and could make an appearance against the Potosinos.
Miguel Gómez experienced intense pain during one of the training sessions. After undergoing the corresponding imaging studies, it was confirmed that he has suffered a muscle injury. His return to competition will depend on his recovery.

The chance to make a real statement is within arm's reach for Tapatío, who sit very close to the top of the Apertura 2026 standings and, in Matchday 7, face one of their rivals for that spot: Universidad de Guadalajara.
This is one of the most iconic rivalries in Liga de Expansión, so there is no doubt we will witness an electrifying clash at AKRON Stadium. So you don't miss a single detail, we bring you the best preview information ahead of this Sunday's match.
How are they coming in?
- Tapatío rescued an important point at the Estadio Tecnológico de Oaxaca after drawing 1-1 against Alebrijes. The young Rebaño now have 11 points and sit in 6th place in the table.- Leones Negros, meanwhile, also drew 1-1 at Estadio Jalisco against Piratas, giving them 13 points and 2nd place in the standings.
What happened in their last meeting?

#standings #place #apertura

There are performances that deserve applause, and others for which even a standing ovation falls short. That was the level of the symphony Natalia Mauleón conducted on the field at Estadio Jalisco, leading and executing the red-and-white attack in the 0-4 win over Atlas in the Clásico Tapatío.
Wearing No. 14, the Michoacán native hit the ground running in the fold as a signing for this Apertura 2026. Mauleón had already shown glimpses of her quality in her first appearances, but what she did last night was simply extraordinary.
Starting as an attacking midfielder, she supported Alicia Cervantes and Denise Castro in the Rebaño's attack, with width provided by Joseline Montoya and Jasmine Casarez down the flanks. From that advanced midfield role, thanks to the peripheral vision with which she reads moments, ****** es, and movements, 'Mau' became the undisputed focal point of the match, as every Guadalajara goal went through her feet.
On the first goal, she orchestrated the high press by staying close to the ball at all times so that, after Eva González won it back, a quick touch on the reception opened the inside lane for 'Jas' to burst through and finish for the goal.
The second goal was just as brilliant: it was Natalia herself who once again started the press, winning the ball in the final third and creating a textbook 3-on-2 at the edge of the box. Patiently, she waited for Denise to drift wide before slipping the ball to her at the perfect moment, leaving her to bury it first time.

Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho has issued a strong warning to his players as the team braces to face Real Betis on Friday at Estadio de La Cartuja.
'The Special One', who returned for his second stint at Madrid this year in June, is leaving no stone unturned to ensure a strong 2026 La Liga season for Los Blancos. Mourinho isn't letting the team's strong start, having won three out of three games, get into the players' heads, which is why he has already warned his team about the Betis challenge.

As the team braces for Friday's challenge, Mourinho said in the press conference that it has to be a great Real Madrid otherwise the team won't win. He further lauded the Betis team while acknowledging Madrid's recent good results. He also warned his team that winning at Betis' backyard won't be easy.
"It has to be a great Real Madrid, otherwise, they won't win," Mourinho said. "Betis, as you say, is a very good team. Real Madrid's recent results there speak for themselves . It is difficult to win there. To win, you have to be at your very best level. There is no other way," he concluded.

Aston Villa are now close to seeing Leon Bailey leave for Olympiacos after the British transfer window shut on 1 September. The Daily Express reports that the winger has found an alternative route out of Villa Park after a proposed move to Hull City collapsed late in the window.
Bailey had been left training alone at Bodymoor Heath after that failed switch, showing how far he had slipped from Unai Emery's plans. Now Olympiacos have stepped in with a permanent deal, and the winger is heading to Athens for a medical before completing the move. Reports indicate he will sign a contract running until June 2029.
Villa can no longer replace him from the English market, yet the club can still clear a difficult situation. Bailey's departure closes a chapter that had lost momentum.
Bailey's best spell came in 2023/24, when he produced 10 Premier League goals and 10 ****** ists, but that output has fallen away sharply. Across the 2024/25 and 2025/26 league campaigns, he scored just one goal. Last season brought 13 league appearances, mostly from the bench, with zero goals and one ****** ist, while his spell at Roma produced seven Serie A appearances without a goal.

Real Madrid continued their preparations ahead of Friday's La Liga clash with Real Betis at Estadio La Cartuja.
After three wins in three games, Los Blancos have made a solid start to Jose Mourinho's second spell at the Santiago Bernabeu and will be eager to build on it.
And, the main highlight from today's training session was the presence of youngster Sergio Martinez.
The 19-year-old midfielder joined Real Madrid from Racing Santander on 31 August. And today, he trained with the first team for the first time under Mourinho.
Real Madrid paid around €3 million to sign Martinez, who will initially become a part of the club's reserve team, Castilla.

Today, August 30, Lisbon Lion Bobby Lennox is celebrating his 83rd birthday.
The Celtic legend scored 277 goals in 589 games for Celtic, and up until recently he was the club's most decorated player with 25 major honours. He has only recently been surpassed by Callum McGregor (26) and James Forrest (28).
Bobby's impressive roll of honour reads as 11 League ***** les, eight Scottish Cups, five League Cups and, of course, the European Cup when he was part of the legendary Celtic side which defeated Inter Milan in Lisbon's Estadio Nacional on May 25, 1967 to become the Kings of Europe.
And as the Celtic Family wishes Bobby a very happy birthday, we take a brief look at the incredible career of a legendary figure in Celtic's long and illustrious history…
Born in Saltcoats, Bobby was the farthest-flung of the Lisbon Lions – hence the ***** le of his autobiography – Thirty Miles from Paradise. Bobby, of course, has remained a Saltcoats Bhoy to this day. In his book, Bobby describes an almost idyllic childhood beside the sea and, apart from his six-month spell with Houston Hurricane in 1978, he has stayed in the town his entire life. 'I had a great upbringing,' he later told the Celtic View. 'We weren't the richest family in the world, but I didn't want for much, although all I really wanted was a ball at my feet anyway.'

The 2026-27 UEFA Champions League league phase draw was completed Thursday in Monaco, setting up a schedule loaded with heavyweight matchups as teams look to take the trophy that Paris Saint-Germain won against ****** nal in Budapest in May.
The league phase kicks off with Matchday 1 on September 8-10 and runs through January, before the knockout rounds lead to the final on June 5 at the Estadio Metropolitano in Madrid, home of Spanish club Atlético Madrid.
In the United States, CBS Sports holds the exclusive English-language rights to the tournament as part of an agreement that runs through the 2029-30 season, with Paramount+ streaming every match.
In parallel, TelevisaUnivision carries the Spanish-language rights until the end of this current season across Univision, UniMás and TUDN, also available to stream on ViX.

Real Madrid learned their opponents for the 2026/27 Champions League league phase on Thursday, as UEFA held this season's draw in Geneva. Under the competition's Swiss-style format, now in its third year, Real Madrid will play eight league-phase matches, four at home and four away, against sides drawn from four seeding pots rather than the old group of four.
This year's draw pairs Real Madrid with Inter Milan and ******* nal from Pot One, PSV Eindhoven and Roma from Pot Two, Leipzig and Shakhtar Donetsk from Pot Three, and LASK and AEK Athens from Pot Four. It is a mix of old rivals and near strangers, given that ******* nal beat Real Madrid out of the quarter-finals only two years ago, Roma once knocked them out under coach José Mourinho's old adversaries, and LASK have never faced them at all.
Real Madrid go into the campaign looking to bounce back from a run of three quarter-final exits in four seasons, sandwiched around their 15th European Cup in 2023/24. The league phase runs from September through January, with matchday dates and kick-off times still to be confirmed by UEFA, before the knockout rounds begin in February and build toward the final at Madrid's own Estadio Metropolitano next June.
Pot one of the draw brings the heaviest company, Inter Milan at home and ******* nal away. Real Madrid's record against Inter is one of the most one-sided in the competition, eight wins from nine home meetings and four straight victories in their recent run. ******* nal is a different proposition. The two clubs have met just twice, back in 2005/06, before colliding again in the 2024-25 quarter-finals, when ******* nal won 5-1 on aggregate and hold the head-to-head edge from all three meetings.

FC Barcelona star Gavi, who is recovering from a minor injury after playing 45 minutes in a 5-0 win over Elche, has sent a message of support to a child who was hurt by a police officer prior to the start of the game.
A video showed several fans being hit by police using batons outside the Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero after pro-Catalan independence flags, known as Esteladas, were confiscated on Sunday.
Yesterday, a photo published by the Penya Barcelonista de Sant Antoni, a Barcelona fan group, appeared to show the youngster smiling with a bandage on his head.
And today, Gavi left a comment which was simply four emojis: flexed bicep, flexed bicep, blue heart, red heart. The meaning was simple as well – sending strength and love to a fellow culé.
Club President Joan Laporta called the police actions "disproportionate and violent."

Barcelona star Fermín López has taken to social media on Monday, to show his appreciation for the efforts of new teammate and attacking partner-in-crime Anthony Gordon.
This of course comes after the latter got his stint in the famed Blaugrana red and blue underway in nothing short of superb fashion.
Barcelona kicked the defence of their La Liga ****** le into gear on Sunday night, courtesy of a trip to the Estadio Martínez Valero to face Elche. When all was said and done, Hansi Flick's troops made short work of their hosts, to the tune of a 5-0 drubbing.
The aforementioned Anthony Gordon was forced to watch on from the bench from the off in Alicante, but was introduced to proceedings for his debut during the 2nd-half.
And the England international wasted little time in providing the Barca faithful with a glimpse of his talents, laying on a pair of ****** ists within six minutes of stepping onto the pitch.

Barcelona star Alejandro Balde was not expecting the decision of manager Hansi Flick to drop him entirely from matchday duties for the club's opening fixture of the new campaign.
Barca, of course, are fresh off a spectacular opening to the defence of their La Liga ******* le on Sunday night. After making the trip to Alicante to take on Elche, the Blaugrana ran riot to the tune of a 5-0 triumph.
For the aforementioned Balde, however, from an individual standpoint, Sunday proved an evening to forget…
Amid mounting speculation surrounding his future in Catalunya's capital heading into the final week of the summer transfer window, the Spaniard was omitted from Barcelona's travelling squad bound for the Estadio Martínez Valero.
And this call, it has since been revealed, left Balde somewhat taken aback. As per a report from journalist Helena Condis of COPE:

FC Barcelona's biggest signing of the summer so far, Rodri, is already preparing for his competitive debut, reports Mundo Deportivo.
After working individually last week because he joined the squad with limited pre-season preparation following his World Cup triumph and a minor back procedure, Rodri trained alongside his teammates for the first time on Monday.
As Hansi Flick had announced before the match against Elche, the midfielder worked with the players who either played limited minutes or did not feature at Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero.
The starters completed a recovery session instead. Among those who played against Elche, only Raphinha, Fermin Lopez, Karim Adeyemi and Pedri took to the pitch at the ***** o Vilanova training ground.
Rodri has now begun his return to full training with Thursday's match against Athletic Club in mind.
