The Turin giants have made a slow start to the season by their usual standards and find themselves second in Serie A, one point behind leaders Napoli. Despite this, the 27-year-old summer loan recruit from Bayern Munich believes that June’s Champions League beaten finalists still rank among the best sides on the continent. “Juve are incredibly strong, on a par with the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid,” he told the club’s official website....

More than 1,500 people were injured after panic swept through the crowd during the viewing of the match, which Juve lost 4-1 to Real Madrid. A statement from the Turin prefect claimed that the crowd was “taken by panic and by the psychosis of a terror attack”, amid fears that a loud noise had been caused by an attack of some kind. Three people were left seriously injured, and it has now been confirmed that Pioletti has passed away....

The Italian champions are likely to wrap up a transfer worth around £10 million (€11m/$13m) for Darmian, ending the Italy international’s three-year spell at Old Trafford by signing him to a five-year contract at the Allianz Stadium. But the deal will not include Alex Sandro, who has been targeted by United, with the Bianconeri insisting he remains a part of their future plans. Darmian arrived at United from Torino in 2015 for around £13m (€15m/$17m) but, after making 32 starts in his first season under Louis van Gaal, he has rarely been considered a first choice by current manager Jose Mourinho....

In case you didn’t know… Allegri has had a trophy-laden stint at Juventus, winning four consecutive domestic doubles between 2015 and 2018, and most recently guided the club to their eighth consecutive Serie A title. The achievement also marked Allegri’s eighth title as a manager, making him one of the most successful Italian managers ever. The 51-year-old’s future, however, came into question after the Old Lady crashed out of the Champions League following a shock defeat to Ajax in their quarter-final fixture last week....

After a thumping victory against the Dabang Delhi outfit in their home ground, the Titans looked confident, rearing to go. The Bengal team on the other hand were playing to gain some kind of salvation, having virtually lost all their chances to making it beyond the league stage. The match otherwise threatening triad of Rahul Chaudhari, Deepak Nivas Hooda and Sukesh Hegde, look off-colour against Bengal’s defense led by Nilesh Shinde and the attack of Jang Kun Lee....

Musgraves, a Lone Star State native, was performing in central Texas during the second weekend of the Austin City Limits Music Festival. The songstress invited O’Rourke onstage during her set. “Honestly, I could use a drink,” she said into the mic, facing the crowd. “Is there any beer or anything out there?” At that, O’Rourke appeared to hand the country crooner a beer. She sipped the beverage while the crowd loudly cheered....

To do just that, here is everything needed. Leveling Materials Kaeya, like every character in Genshin Impact, uses a ton of EXP and Mora to reach his max level of 90.

Newsom, a Democrat, is fighting to stay in office after a recall effort qualified for a ballot earlier this year. Next month’s recall election, scheduled to take place on September 14, will determine whether voters want Newsom to remain in office for the remainder of his term. “I am excited to join my friend and our Vice President next week,” Newsom said in a Friday news release. “The stakes of this election couldn’t be higher....

Join DAZN and watch more than 100 fight nights a year In a video posted by TMZ, Usman and his manager Ali Abdelaziz engaged in a back and forth with Covington outside of the A.Y.C.E. buffet. Things heated up quickly as Abdelaziz can be seen going after Covington. Security arrived before the situation escalated any further. “I want to f–k that guy up so badly,” Usman said with a wide smile stretched across his face at the UFC 235 post-fight press conference a night earlier....

Before Valieva’s positive test for a banned heart medication became a top concern, non-Chinese reporters at daily Olympics briefings had been asking about Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai, China’s actions involving Uyghur Muslims, and COVID-19 mitigation measures, the Associated Press reported. Now all eyes are largely pointed at Valieva, 15, whose clearance to compete in the women’s individual event has drawn criticism and raised additional questions. Valieva will head into the long program in the top spot on Thursday after earning the highest score in the short program Tuesday....

Kane had a hat trick, Brandon Saad scored twice and Chicago beat the Minnesota Wild 5-2 on Thursday night for its fourth victory in five games. Kane completed his fifth career regular-season hat trick and first since March 2017 by scoring into an empty net with 26.9 seconds left. He leads the Blackhawks with 20 goals and 47 points, and has five goals and five assists during a six-game point streak....

To understand why, it’s important to take a look at the path that led him to Ames, Iowa. Kane’s college career began with Tom Herrion at Marshall. Even though he was a playmaker from the beginning, Kane's attitude frequently got the best of him. He was assessed 14 technical fouls over his first two seasons, and his aggressive style often led to high turnover counts. He remained composed enough to enjoy a productive career with the Thundering Herd and earn his degree....

Kane has developed into one of the world’s finest strikers in north London, and will captain England at the 2018 World Cup after scoring 41 goals in just 48 appearances in all competitions this season. The new deal means that the 24-year-old will lead the club into their new stadium, which is set to open at the beginning of the 2018-19 season. In total, Kane has racked up 213 appearances for Spurs, and has scored 140 goals, and it has been widely reported that his new deal has broken the club’s previously watertight wage structure....

Former Spurs boss Tim Sherwood is the latest to have suggested that silverware must be secured in order for the prolific 24-year-old to stay put. Kane 6/10 to score v West Ham He told Sky Sports: “There’s only so much loyalty someone can show. Tottenham have been a great club for Harry and he’s been paying them back tenfold. “He’s been outstanding over the last couple of seasons, he grew up a stone’s throw from the ground and the kid loves the club....

He already has a major. He won the FedEx Cup last year. He has reached No. 1 in the world. And this won’t be his first Ryder Cup, anyway. “I was with my dad when he was working for the PGA,” Thomas said of the 2008 matches at Valhalla, when he was 15. “I played in the Junior Ryder Cup when it was at Celtic Manor. So I’ve been to three of them....

But in apologizing, Trudeau admitted that a 2001 image of him dressed in an Aladdin costume at an end of the year “Arabian nights” gala was not the only instance in which he applied dark makeup on his face to appear as another race. “The fact of the matter is that I’ve always—and you’ll know this—been more enthusiastic about costumes than is sometimes appropriate,” Trudeau said. “When I was in high school, I dressed up at a talent show and sang Dale—with makeup on....

But with a simple tweet, Juventus put any doubt about his position at the club to bed, ending speculation and hopefully preventing it from creeping back in. Conte will now have to convince the Juventus hierarchy of his position in the 14/15 season by a good European display, or risk more questions being asked. 0 votes

Juve were in cruise control in Tuesday’s Champions League Group D encounter against Bayer Leverkusen as Higuain and Ronaldo goals sandwiched Federico Bernardeschi’s effort in a 3-0 win at Allianz Stadium. The goalscoring trio lined up alongside one another in Juve’s attacking triumvirate, while Dybala replaced Higuain in the 83rd minute and teed up Ronaldo for his goal. However, while the idea of Ronaldo, Higuain and Dybala in a front three is an exciting one, head coach Sarri is erring on the side of caution....

Vlahovic put Juventus ahead on the road after just 33 seconds, scoring the quickest debut goal by a starter in the history of the Champions League. The 22-year-old demonstrated why Juventus were so eager to sign him, with Vlahovic replacing Cristiano Ronaldo as the face of the club’s forward line following the latter’s return to Manchester United last summer. Juventus still have much to work on as a unit, with the game ending 1-1 after Dani Parejo got a goal back for Villarreal in the second half....
