Spanish Super Cup final: Barcelona 5-2 Real MadridBarça shrug off Szczesny red card after first-half blitz“I don’t know what’s going on with the clásicos but they have been a bit mad recently,” Carlo Ancelotti had said and here was another one. There had been 35 goals in the last 10 meetings between these two great rivals and there were seven more in the final of the Spanish Super Cup. The only pity was that it happened in the wrong place. FC Barcelona had put four past Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu in October; now they went one better on their way to an extraordinary 5-2 victory, 5,000km away in Jeddah, a night when they played with two goalkeepers ending with a third, the injured captain Marc Andre ter Stegen, lifting the trophy.Barcelona had finished a man down and started a goal down, Wojciech Szczęsny beaten early and sent off later, but ultimately it didn’t matter. Hansi Flick’s side were just too good. Exceptional in fact, Raphinha tireless until he was withdrawn, cram...

While plenty still hinges on the outcome of Saturday’s trip to face Leinster, they are still alive in a pool where every point is having to be earned the hard way.The Premiership pace-setters may still have to rely on Benetton being well beaten at home to La Rochelle but a losing bonus point in Dublin could now narrowly sneak them through. If they do make it through they will be suitably grateful, not for the first time, to their South African prop Thomas du Toit whose brace of tries added further gloss to a typically strong set-piece performance.

7 hours ago The Guardian view on capital punishment: an upsurge in executions should concern us all | Editorial

The vast majority of countries have outlawed the death penalty. Yet the annual toll is growing – and Donald Trump wants to increase its useThe good news: Zimbabwe has just banned the death penalty. While it should remove an exemption clause, which might allow for capital punishment’s return were a state of emergency to be declared, the decision is another welcome step in the global journey towards abolition: 113 states have now banned executions.The bad news is that fewer countries have been killing more people in the last few years. Last May, Amnesty International recorded 1,153 executions in 2023, a 31% increase from the previous year and the highest level for almost a decade. (The figure is an underestimate since countries including China, believed to be the world’s largest executioner, do not publish data on the death penalty.) There was no letup in 2024. Iran reportedly executed more than 900 people. Saudi Arabia is believed to have killed another 330, compared with 172 in...

Pool 4: Toulon 33-21 HarlequinsDavid Ribbans says ‘level of physicality’ made differenceAnother Champions Cup weekend, another stark reminder that the Premiership lags behind its Top 14 rivals with Harlequins falling victim to a turbo-charged Toulon. Quins have claimed some famous scalps on French soil in recent years but, just as Northampton found out 24 hours earlier, cross the Channel without the sort of physicality that is ubiquitous in the Top 14 – “a lot of powerful animals” as the head coach, Danny Wilson, put it – and you will get badly exposed.As David Ribbans, the former England second row, who swapped Northampton for Toulon after the 2023 World Cup, explained after his side’s comfortable victory on Sunday, the biggest difference between the two leagues is physical prowess. Wilson did not disagree and though his side can still reach the knockout stages by beating Glasgow Warriors next week, he conceded they will also come to France in hope rather than expectation.

While many of the debates that built up to the revolution centered around taxes, a little-known legal controversy from the era suggests that the crown and colonists also differed when it came to LGBTQ+ rights.Serving with the 18th Regiment of Foot in Philadelphia, the British army chaplain Robert Newburgh was accused of having had sexual relations with a man – or as it was known at the time, buggery. Viewing his standing within the regiment as undermined, Newburgh sought recourse in a variety of court cases culminating with a court martial in 1774 – the year before the revolution.
