Champions League Player Ratings | Bayer Leverkusen 1-1 Arsenal — Robert Andrich and Kai Havertz push the tie for a second-leg decider

Champions League Player Ratings | Bayer Leverkusen 1-1 Arsenal — Robert Andrich and Kai Havertz push the tie for a second-leg decider Goals from Robert Andrich and Kai Havertz ensure a close draw as Bayer Leverkusen and Arsenal are set for a decider in England.  The first half was a largely quiet affair as the two sides jostled for possession, but Leverkusen would find themselves satisfied with their performance before the break. The hosts took the  Gunners head on, and kept them out of scoring positions for the best part of the half. Mikel Arteta’s men came close to netting an opener when Gabriel Martinelli’s left-footed shot rattled the post as he failed to put the cherry on top of a brilliant Arsenal move in the 19th minute.  Arteta’s first-half frustration was doubled just moments into the second half when Die Werkself led the match thanks to an Andrich header from Alejandro Grimaldo’s inswing ball into the box from a corner. Leverkusen had chances in the matc...

Raiders free agency tracker: Live rumors, news, updates on signings with $111 million cap space originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . No one enters this offseason with more money to spend than the Las Vegas Raiders . Free agency week has arrived, and it's safe to expect the Raiders to pursue all sorts of available free agents to join a roster that needs plenty of reshaping. They've also got the No. 1 overall pick next month, which is expected to be used on Fernando Mendoza, the QB from Indiana. Of course, the Raiders didn't wait until free agency to get their offseason rolling. They've already traded away Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens for a pair of first-round picks. That expanded what was already a lot of open cap space even wider, and now the free agent world is their oyster.

Iowa vs Nebraska Men’s Basketball: Team Preview and Live Discussion – Senior Day

LOS ANGELES, CA - FEBRUARY 28: Nebraska Cornhuskers forward Berke Büyüktuncel (21) celebrates on the bench during the college basketball game between the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the USC Trojans on February 28, 2026 at the Galen Center in Los Angeles, CA. (Photo by Brian Rothmuller/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) | Icon Sportswire via Getty Images My Game Time Thoughts The Iowa Hawkeyes are 2-5 over the past seven games. Unfortunately, one of those two wins was against Nebraska when they played in Iowa City. An interesting fact is that over the past 480 minutes of Iowa Hawkeye basketball, Iowa’s best player Bennett Stirtz has only sat on the bench for 5 minutes. Over the past twelve games Stirtz has played the entire 40 minutes for nine of those games. In the other three he played 39 minutes, 38 minutes and 38 minutes. Stritz is obviously in great shape but I will be interested to see if Iowa is going to ask him to chase Pryce Sandfort all over the court again like they did in ...

St. Joseph girls set high standard, make return to state playoffs

Mar. 6—The St. Joseph girls basketball team again is experiencing the PIAA's version of March Madness. The Spartans played their way to a fifth straight berth in the Class A state tournament. Hoping to get there now has turned into an expectation, and coach Geoff Dutelle is happy to help fuel that goal. "There are more teams not playing than there are playing at this point, and we're one of the ones still playing, and all the credit goes to the girls for having that goal of getting back to states," Dutelle said. St. Joseph, 14-11 overall and the No. 6 team from the WPIAL, will pay a visit to District 9 champion Clarion Limestone in the first round at 1 p.m. Saturday. The Spartans traveled to District 10 champion Farrell last year and gave the Steelers all they could handle in a 56-53 loss that went down to the wire. "The girls last year, many of whom stepped up into bigger roles because of graduation the year before, all they knew was winning," Dutelle s...

INGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA - SEPTEMBER 18: Allen Robinson II #1 of the Los Angeles Rams stretches for the ball in the first half of the game against the Atlanta Falcons at SoFi Stadium on September 18, 2022 in Inglewood, California. (Photo by Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images) | Getty Images Allen Robinson was a notable free agent whiff when the Los Angeles Rams signed him in the 2022 offseason. Just how bad was the signing really? So bad that A-Rob to the Rams will live in infamy as one of Bleacher Report’s all-time free agent busts. BR’s NFL Staff placed the signing at No. 16 on its list of the 50 biggest free agent busts. The outlet said that the Rams rolled the dice on Robinson in the “early stages of his decline,” which proved costly for the organization: “In 2021, the Bears were wary about giving Robinson a long-term contract after he caught 102 passes for 1,250 yards and six touchdowns in his age-27 season. They franchise-tagged him, and he showed notable decline, registering onl...
