Bundesliga gets fifth place in the premier class 2024-05-02 12:47:07
Thanks to BVB’s victory, the Bundesliga has secured a fifth starting place in the coming Champions League season. There is now also celebration in Leipzig and Stuttgart.
The Bundesliga has five starting places in the Champions League next season. After Borussia Dortmund’s 1-0 win against Paris St. Germain, the German elite league can no longer be pushed out of one of the two top places in the UEFA rankings for the current season.
VfB Stuttgart, RB Leipzig and Dortmund themselves, who will be in the premier class next season alongside champions Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich, can celebrate. If BVB wins the Champions League and stays fifth in the league, the sixth place in the Bundesliga would even move into the premier class.
With 18.36 points, the Bundesliga is almost one point ahead of the English Premier League, which is only represented internationally by Aston Villa. Italy (19,429) leads the European Football Union rankings.
At the end of the season, the top two nations in the rankings will receive an additional starting place for the coming season in the Champions League, when the premier class is increased from 32 to 36 teams as a result of a comprehensive reform.
Yang Hyun-jong Leads KIA Tigers to Victory with Complete Game Performance,/h1>
The match between KIA Tigers and KT Wiz held in Gwangju yesterday.
In the bottom of the 9th inning, with 2 outs and runners on 1st and 2nd base, KIA pitcher Yang Hyun-jong catches the ball in an inning that is hit by KT Lee Ho-yeon and thrown to the first baseman.
[중계 캐스터]
“From the start of the 1st inning to the end of the 9th, 27 outs, all including 102 balls!”
Both players, who started as starting pitchers, allowed just 1 run in 9 innings, leading KIA to a 9-1 victory.
This is the first complete game win in the KBO this season.
In modern baseball, where pitchers’ pitch count control and division of labor between starting pitchers and pitching pitchers are clearly established, starting pitchers’ total pitch gains are gradually disappearing.
Last year, there was only one complete game of 9 innings throughout the league, and that was Samsung’s Buchanan, a foreign pitcher.
Yang Hyun-jong also experienced complete game joy in 1,649 days since 2019, recording his 9th career complete game.
Yang, now 36, shows his true iron skills by challenging a new record of pitching 170 innings for 10 consecutive seasons,
After a draw in Munich, Madrid were hoping for a win 2024-05-02 12:38:40
In Munich, Bayern attacked from the start, but on the contrary, Real Madrid took the lead in the first half. Finally, after the break, the host team turned around and created a chance to win. But the penalty was not won in the last half. In the first leg of the semi-final in the Champions League, Real left the field with a 2-2 draw. The Bayern coach is now hoping for a win in Madrid.
Real Madrid are a formidable team at home. Even after that, Thomas Tukhel believes, ‘Now everything is clear. Going to Madrid, whoever wins will go through to the next stage. We are ready to fight. The main thing is that we have to keep the faith.’
Tukhel thinks victory in Madrid is possible even if there is a tough challenge, ‘It is possible. Maybe 50-50. This is the hardest place to win. And that makes the challenge even more exciting.’
But Bayern could have been ahead in the first leg. It didn’t happen because of the penalty at the end. However, Tukhel does not want to waste time on that, ‘The result is what happened. Don’t waste time thinking about it now.

#interpreter #transfer #man #ironstrong #structure #Club #Brugge
“An organization can be so strong that a trainer only has to focus on the things for which he was hired.” This is what chairman Bart Verhaeghe said immediately after the historic qualification against PAOK. But who is actually behind the praised (and heavily redesigned) structure of Club Brugge? An overview of the support beams in blue-black.
At the end of 2023, he succeeded Vincent Mannaert as CEO of Club Brugge and is therefore ultimately responsible within blue-black on a day-to-day basis.
In the past he already held several important positions at the Belgian Football Association and in 2018 Madou started working full-time at Club Brugge as Chief Business Officer.
There, the native of Bruges impressed with his organizational and commercial insight – Madou launched, among other things, the famous Club Media House – and he worked as an important sounding board for management duo Bart Verhaeghe – Vincent Mannaert.
Madou, a LO by training, lives barely two kilometers from Jan Breydel and is known as a hard worker with an eye for trends and extensive knowledge of files.
Chief Financial Officer since 2021.

victorious in Paris, the Lyonnaises qualify for an eleventh Champions League final
When you are trying to reverse the course of history, that of Lyon’s tireless domination characterized by eight Champions League crowns, it is better not to miss the start of the match. Sunday April 28, at the Parc des Princes, the PSG players, beaten 3-2 in the first leg, started this Champions League semi-final return with an additional handicap.
Trailing after three minutes of play on a goal from Selma Bacha, they managed to equalize before the break through Tabitha Chawinga but missed their second period, losing to a second goal from the Haitian Melchie Dumornay (2-1 ).
Despite the constant support of their collective Ultras Paris (CUP), the main force behind an audience of 30,000 spectators, PSG failed to qualify for a third European final (2015 and 2017). “There is disappointment. The start of the match does not help us, we immediately put ourselves in a difficult situation”reacted PSG coach Jocelyn Prêcheur. OL will play their eleventh final on May 25 in Bilbao (Spain), against FC Barcelona.

Ryan Garcia, the rebirth after excesses, alcohol and porn star stories: Haney knocked out three times and beaten on points
Ryan Garcia, rebirth after excesses. The most media-focused boxer on the planet – for example, ten and a half million follow him on Instagram – is also a great boxer. He proved it by beating Devin Haney on points in the ring at the Barclays Center in New York after knocking him out three times. However, he will not become super lightweight world champion for the WBC. The reason, and here we get into the excesses, in the world of boxing is a serious one: he didn’t fall within the weight limits, or even by a few grams. Fifteen hundred over the limit of 63.5 in the category, an enormity that git cost them a penalty of one and a half million dollars entered his opponent’s coffers. A lot for every pound, ‘Merchant of Venice’ stuff.
The success, however, weight or no weight, relaunched him in an impressive way on a boxing level. For the rest, Garcia certainly doesn’t need fame. With all those followers, the mention of a sneeze is enough for him to raise a fuss. The problem is that he does much more than sneeze. Handsome, rich, famous, but with a star tending towards obscuring.
