SOCCER
Paris Saint-Germain, Champions League winner.
At long last the club that was transformed by Qatari billions and bought and sold a succession of the world’s greatest players in an extravagant bid to get to the top has its hands on the big one.
European club soccer’s grandest prize has a new home after PSG thrashed Inter Milan 5-0 in the final in Munich.
The trophy that not even Lionel Messi, Neymar or Kylian Mbappe could deliver to the French club was finally claimed by Luis Enrique, the Spanish coach who has overseen PSG’s shift from the era of galactico signings to one of genuine team-building.
Désiré Doué, the 19-year-old French forward emblematic of the club’s new generation, became the third teenager to score in a Champions League final, following Patrick Kluivert and Carlos Alberto. Doué scored twice and set up another goal in little over an hour on the field before being substituted in the second half.
Achraf Hakimi, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and substitute Senny Mayulu, the fourth teenager to ever score in a final added to Doue’s double as PSG recorded the biggest win in a final in the Champions League’s 69-year history.
MOTORSPORTS
Chase Briscoe will start on the pole for a second straight year in tonight’s Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville SuperSpeeday.
He leads the Cup Series with three poles in his first year with Joe Gibbs Racing, the latest setting a Cup track record with his lap of 164.395 mph topping the 161.992 mph Aric Almirola posted in his Ford in 2021.
Max Verstappen has his work cut out to keep his Spanish Grand Prix streak going after Oscar Piastri claimed pole position ahead of McLaren teammate Lando Norris in Barcelona. The McLaren lockout of the front row gives the papaya-colored cars a big advantage over Verstappen, whose Red Bull will start today’s race from third on the grid.
CYCLING
Simon Yates produced one of the greatest rides of his career on one of cycling’s most grueling climbs to all but win the Giro d’Italia.
Yates started the penultimate stage in third, 1 minute, 21 seconds behind previous leader Isaac Del Toro, but the British cyclist launched a solo attack on the beyond-category climb to Colle delle Finestre — the same mountain that spelled heartbreak for him seven years ago — to ride clear of his overall rivals.
Yates was openly sobbing after he crossed the line more than 5 minutes ahead of Del Toro.
With just the mostly ceremonial finish in Rome left today, Yates moved into the lead of the three-week race and is all but certain to lift the Trofeo Senza Fine (Trophy With No End) for the first time.
Yates, who won the 2018 Spanish Vuelta, is 3 minutes, 56 seconds ahead of Mexico’s Del Toro and 4:43 ahead of Ecuador’s Richard Carapaz.
MIXED MARTIAL ARTS
UFC Hall of Famer B.J. Penn was arrested again Friday in his home state of Hawaii in relation to his ongoing claims that his family has been murdered and replaced with imposters. It was Penn’s third arrest over a six-day span.
Penn’s latest arrest occurred as a result of the former two-division UFC champion failing to appear in court and thus violating his bail agreement. MMA Fighting first reported the news. Penn was previously arrested on Sunday and then again on Monday, both times on charges of abuse of a family or household member. Penn, 46, was once again released on bail following his latest arrest.
Hawaiian news outlet KHON2 reported Penn unsuccessfully claimed he missed court due to him being ill with COVID. Penn’s request to the court to recall his warrants was also denied.
Penn’s mother, Lorraine Shin, 79, filed for a temporary restraining order against her son this past week. Judge Jeffrey Ng approved the order Tuesday, which is to remain active for at least 180 days, according to MMA Fighting. Penn is expected in court again on June 10 for a hearing on the matter and must remain at least 100 feet away from his mother. He is also not allowed to contact Shin while the temporary order is in place.
