1 week ago Mikel Merino: ‘I’m adapting to being a striker – I like the contact, I never back down’

Arsenal’s emergency No 9 on learning his new position, taking on Real Madrid in Europe and success with SpainMikel Merino sits in a briefing room on the second floor of Spain’s Las Rozas headquarters, an A1 tactics sheet covering the table. Felt tip in hand, he is making his way up the paper pitch, neatly marking the positions he has occupied, starting out in goal at school. “No more: I have to protect my shoulder now,” he begins, laughing. “I’ve been a left‑sided centre-back. At Dortmund I played there in a three. And in a back four, in the Spain Under-21s. I’ve played as a No 6 I’ve played as a No 8 I’ve played as a No 10 as a kid, I played here, on the right wing ”There’s a grin. “And now,” Merino says, applying a perfectly timed pause before drawing another cross. “Now I’m playing here.” Seven positions, impeccably spaced on the page, but which does he prefer? “Pfff, I don’t know. Lately, I like this one,” he replies, tapping the final mark, near the opposition’s penalty area, a...

Bayern Munich were shocked at home by Bochum, but they still strengthened their hand after Leverkusen lost againAfter all the big moments, the daring comebacks, the thrilling crescendos, it felt like they had finally run out of road. Having both been substituted, Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong sat on the visitors’ bench at the Allianz Arena as time ticked down, a seat apart, both yelling, maybe at each other, maybe just into the ether. Finally Wirtz covered his face with his hands.Of all the images of last week’s all-German Champions League last-16 match between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen, this was the one that stuck. Frustration is to be expected, particularly in the dying embers of a bad defeat against a domestic and European rival, but this was something that we have rarely seen from Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen. Setbacks happen, but he and his players have always maintained their poise, knowing that their path is the right one and that an answer is coming. This time? May...

4 w. ago Trump is turning the media into a mouthpiece of the regime | Lawrence Douglas

As the White House handpicks members of the press pool, questions for the president amount to fluffy valentinesYou know we’re in trouble when Fox News emerges as the great defender of freedom of the press. But such was the case when Jacqui Heinrich, a senior political correspondent at Fox, responded to the news that Trump’s White House would now handpick the reporters who get to cover the president in small settings, with the post: “This move does not give the power back to the people – it gives power to the White House.” Heinrich was specifically responding to press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s Orwellian claim that letting Donald Trump choose who would cover him was designed to restore power “back to the American people”.The fruits of the new policy were richly on display during the sickening scene that unfolded in the Oval Office last week. If the president and JD Vance’s disgraceful treatment of Volodymyr Zelenskyy wasn’t bad enough, there was the unprecedented role that the “pre...
