They did not concede against them, as always. And Thomas Tuchel’s record in World Cup qualifying Group K now shows the maximum number of points from four ties – and four clean sheets.

7 h. ago Max Verstappen pips Norris for Italian Grand Prix pole with fastest F1 lap

Red Bull driver just 0.077sec quicker than McLaren rivalDutchman’s flying lap beat record set by Hamilton in 2020 The beaming grin on Max Verstappen’s face showed what claiming pole position for the Italian Grand Prix meant to him and his Red Bull team. As records fell in a blur of speed at Monza, the world champion was perhaps the most unlikely victor after an impossibly tight contest.The transformation since the 2024 Italian GP could not have been more stark.
