48 h. ago Frattesi puts Inter in control with win at Bayern Munich after costly Kane miss

Bayern Munich have everything to do if they are to claim the Champions League on home turf. This was a party thoroughly spoiled by Inter, who might have feared the worst when Thomas Müller scored a rapturously-received equaliser five minutes from time. Müller’s 25-year spell at Bayern will end this summer and everybody thought they could read the script. Then the substitute Davide Frattesi ripped it up, adding to Lautaro Martínez’s brilliant opener and exacerbating the potential costliness of a glaring first-half miss from Harry Kane.“Kings of the cup”, a display from Bayern’s Südkurve had read before kick-off. In fairness Bayern genuinely believe they are: Real Madrid are the only institution with as discernible an aura, regardless of who is rolled out, when the Champions League reaches its business end. The sense was they would require that confidence in a tie that had looked delicately poised. Alphonso Davies’ serious knee injury, sustained on international duty to Bayern’s fury,...

4 d. ago Alex Ovechkin is now the NHL’s greatest goalscorer. It’s debatable what else he is

The Russian has broken a record some believed would never be passed. But, like the man whose mark he bettered, he has received scrutiny away from the rink“He’s definitely a very, very, very good player,” the Washington Capitals’ director of amateur scouting, Ross Mahoney, told reporters on the night of the NHL entry draft in June 2004. He was talking about Alex Ovechkin, who the team picked first overall that night. “How good will he be?” Mahoney asked. “Time will tell.” Now, nearly 21 years later, time has had its say. On Sunday afternoon in a game against the New York Islanders, Ovechkin scored his 895th goal, passing Wayne Gretzky’s all-time NHL scoring record, a tally that had stood since 29 March 1999 and that few believed would ever be broken.Had things been slightly different in 2004, we might have been having this conversation a year ago. The NHL season after Ovechkin’s draft – the 2004-05 campaign – never happened, replaced instead by a long dispute between the league and t...
