2 w. ago Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe 2025: Daryz catches hot favourite Minnie Hauk to win thriller – as it happened

Daryz dazzled for Arc success in the famous Aga Khan colours but Japan’s wait for glory goes onPrix de l’Abbaye (1.50pm) preview A single-figure stall is something of a prerequisite in this Group One sprint, and the draw gods have been kind to Henry Dwyer’s splendid mare, Asfoora, as she attempts to become the first Australian-trained winner in France. The Nunthorpe winner will leave stall three, while one of the big local hopes, recent course-and-distance winner Monteille, has also drawn well in one. The home team has a famously poor record in this contest, however, with just four wins so far this century, and Frost At Dawn (stall four) andMgheera (in five) are just two among several British-trained runners with a big chance. Mhgeera, meanwhile, also has form with plenty of cut in the ground, and gives Ed Walker a serious chance to follow up last year’s win in this race with Makarova.SELECTION: MGHEERA Continue reading...

There was a compelling clash of heavyweights in Catalonia, some unhappy rumblings at Real and a legend of Azerbaijani football roared• The viewers. Barcelona v Paris Saint-Germain was the final many wanted last season. Wednesday’s group-stage meeting showed why. The fixture did not disappoint, even if, with red tape delaying the opening of the renovated Camp Nou, it was played in the less atmospheric Lluís Companys Stadium. Luis Enrique’s young Parisians staged a comeback in Catalonia, thanks to their coach’s expert use of his squad. Senny Mayulu, 19, upstaged Lamine Yamal by scoring the equaliser – Wednesday was the first match this season Yamal had failed to either score or contribute to a goal. Instead, the resurgent Marcus Rashford set up Ferran Torres’s opener for Barça. PSG were shorn of Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the forward line that claimed last season’s crown.
