1 hour ago Real Madrid’s PSG thrashing shows Xabi Alonso true size of rebuilding job

New manager faces tough questions before next season, with the biggest just how to find the right fit for superstar striker Kylian MbappéThis is the end. For Real Madrid, the best thing that could be said about their last game of the 2024-2025 season was that it was their last game of the 2024-2025 season. So in the makeshift marquee set up by the MetLife Stadium, Xabi Alonso said exactly that, and repeatedly. He had watched his team, who aren’t entirely his team yet, be taken apart by Paris Saint-Germain; now he wanted to get home and “reset”, forget about it. Well, not forget exactly: the hurt might help, lessons learned. “I want this to have an impact but not drag us down,” he said. “In August we start 2025-26, which will be different.”The way they fell was familiar, back to their recent past, their reality. “We suffered the way others have suffered against them,” Alonso said, and that was true, but it is not only PSG; it is Madrid too.

3 h. ago Rory McIlroy finds his mojo getting out of bunker trouble on day one at Scottish Open

Masters champion holes three long putts to finishScottie Scheffler three off lead after first roundThe latest glimpse of a return of Rory McIlroy’s mojo arrived over the closing stretch of the Scottish Open’s first round. He has spoken of an understandable need to find new mountains to scale after Masters glory completed a career grand slam. On the 15th hole at the Renaissance Club, the Northern Irishman was in trouble; his fairway bunker shot had rolled back towards his feet. McIlroy’s ball sat in the mark created by his first attempt. “It served me right for trying to hit a nine-iron with the lip two feet in front of me,” he said later.The response was notable. The world No 2 pitched out sideways, holed from 21ft – and the fringe of the green – for a bogey and rattled off three birdies in a row over the closing holes. A 68 to start at the tournament which precedes McIlroy’s Open Championship tilt at Portrush was hugely impressive in context. He sits only four shots from the lead. ...
