Former Real Madrid midfielder Isco scored the winner for Real Betis against his old club this evening. He spoke to @dermotmcorrigan.bsky.social about how much he's enjoying life at Betis and why it's no coincidence a number of careers are resurrected at the club. 🔗 www.nytimes.com/athletic/615...

Huge cheers from Atletico crowd for two Gallagher sliding tackles to keep ball up the other end in added time - Simeone off feet orchestrating the singing again

1-0 Atletico - Julian Alvarez, just after entering as sub, with a super calm finish from another sub Llorente through ball. Alvarez has been an absolutely tremendous signing. 22 goals already in all comps, 5 in last 5 games.

Real Madrid are at war with Spain’s referees. The president of Marseille is crying corruption. Turkey had to bring in a foreign ref to do a game. Feels like we’ve reached a watershed in football’s conspiracist tendency, and it is now genuinely dangerous.

What a fantastic finish that is by Isco - and another Antony assist.

So Rubiales was found guilty of the non-consensual kiss. If this trial has taught us that a woman can be sexually assaulted and behave however she wants afterwards and still be considered a victim, then we should be eternally grateful to Jenni for that. www.nytimes.com/athletic/614...

Rubiales takes the stand - saying he's "completely sure" Hermoso gave consent for the kiss. Also said the kiss was not unlike something he'd often done with others in past. While it was also an extraordinary moment when he was been acting presidential www.nytimes.com/athletic/612...

The Luis Rubiales trial today heard claims from Jenni Hermoso's brother that the then-Spain coach Jorge Vilda spoke of "personal and professional consequences" if she did not publicly agree with Rubiales' version of the kiss after the Women's World Cup final. @dermotmcorrigan.bsky.social
