The punishment comes after Ribery lashed out at critics in a string of angry posts on Twitter and Instagram on Saturday. It is the latest scandal to engulf the 35-year-old, who is deeply unpopular in his native France but revered by German fans. “I had a long talk with Franck and I let him know that we would impose a heavy fine on him and he accepted it,” the club’s sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic told journalists in Qatar, where the club is on a training camp....

“End of an era” often connotes negativity for the future, but in this instance, it can be seen more like a long overdue progression. The significance of this transfer is highlighted when you cross-reference the club in question, with the time of the year, the fee and the already announced signing of Lucas’s French teammate Benjamin Pavard. Bayern have always been efficient with their signings, but previously this efficiency was displayed with excellence in the art of wheeling and dealing....

The Polish forward said, “Bayern are one of the best teams in the world and on a par with Real Madrid and Barcelona. A move for me would not mean a step up. We can win every trophy.” In case you didn’t know… The 28-year-old signed a four and a half year deal in December which will see him ply his trade at the Allianz Arena till 2022. Recently, in a video uploaded by Munich’s social media team, the striker showed supreme skills, where he juggled the ball on his right foot, then on his knee and onto his head....

The Bavarians were already coasting two goals ahead when the incredible mix-up occurred in the final minutes of the Bundesliga clash. The situation caused a significant delay as the two sides met with the officiating staff to sort out the issue. Bayern played for a number of seconds with an additional player on the pitch before the error was noticed and corrected. That numerical irregularity was eventually resolved, and Bayern would go on to nine points clear at the top of the table, while Freiburg remains three points back of the final Champions League place....

Bayern re-established themselves as Bundesliga leaders in pursuit of a fifth straight league title with five consecutive victories heading into the mid-season break - a run that concluded with a dominant 3-0 triumph over second-place RB Leipzig. Ancelotti: Muller still key figure Muller was an unused substitute for that game and the Germany forward has endured an unusually fallow season in front of goal, with a solitary Bundesliga strike to his name and four in 22 club appearances across all competitions....

The two even glossed over the SmackDown Women’s Champion during the aforementioned exchange. Now it seems as if the team in charge of the WWE social media account is getting into the act. Whether it was done intentionally or not, the WWE put out a poll asking their fans who the better Women’s Champion was and left Bayley off of it. Something she apparently is none too thrilled about:...

Harwood recently appeared on Renee Paquette’s The Sessions podcast. Renee took to Twitter to thank him for being her guest and sharing several personal things with her and the fans. Bayley noticed this tweet from Renee and replied “I love this man” directed towards Dax Harwood. Bayley has previously credited The Revival for mentoring her and Sasha Banks The Role Model shares a great relationship with Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler....

MAIN EVENT: Oklahoma State at Baylor If Baylor wants to take the next step in the rise to national prominence, then this is the must-win game. That might seem like a bold statement, but the Bears are 5-7 against Oklahoma and Texas under Art Briles. The Bears, however, are just 1-5 against Mike Gundy and Oklahoma State, and that includes last season’s 49-17 loss at Stillwater, which occurred after Baylor climbed to No....

Their innings ended at 136/8, a below-par total on decent batting conditions. Shaun Marsh, Sam Whiteman and Ian Bell then made light work of the chase racing past the target in 16.5 overs. Earlier, Seb Gotch and David Hussey lifted the Stars from the ruins created by Johnson with a 52-run stand. But some consistent bowling from Tim Bresnan and Andrew Tye prevented a late onslaught and eventually paved the way for their exit....

As per the BBL traditions, the organizers flipped a bat instead of tossing a coin to determine which captain will decide the match’s progress. Since a bat is thicker than a coin, there are chances that it lands on neither flats nor hills. The same thing happened in today’s BBL fixture as the bat flip did not produce a result, despite two tosses. Both captains, Chris Lynn and Ashton Turner could not believe what they saw in Canberra....

A BCCI source told CricketNext that there is an idea floating around about the creation of a Test fund, that’ll look into the interest of cricketers who play just the longer format, where money could be pulled in through the IPL auctions. “Anirudh and Kohli’s thought process definitely match and he has come out with this proposal which not only looks at the interest of players like Cheteshwar Pujara — only plays the Test format - but also of Ranji Trophy players....

A source was quoted by the Indian Express saying, “Permission has been sought from Home Ministry, but we don’t know what the government’s stand is. Last time, the tension between the two countries was at its peak. “Also, there is the FTP agreement that needs to be fulfilled and that’s why the board is willing to travel to Dubai to play a series against Pakistan. Unless the government gives its nod, the BCCI cannot do anything....

Beacon Pines’ art style is more on the cute side than it is eerie, but the overarching story of Luka and other characters that populate the anthropomorphic town is the exact opposite. There’s a general sense of creepiness to Beacon Pines that its developers initially ascribed to a similarity with the classic uncanny elements of the cult series Twin Peaks, only to discover that there’s a more popular way to convey the same message thanks to Stranger Things....

Why Delete the Demo for Bear and Breakfast? In the Bear and Breakfast indie game Discord, players were warned that they will need to delete all demo play data before starting the game. The developer noted that in order to have an “uninterrupted hot bear gaming experience,” on launch, the Next Fest demo data would get in the way. The demo data with actually mess with the Options, New Game, and other buttons located on the opening screen of the game, preventing players from creating a new game and getting started on their journey to owning their own relaxing video game Bear and Breakfast in the woods....

It’s an intense piece of key art, featuring a lot of returning characters, as well as new faces for the cast. The poster uses one of those classic ‘shattering glass with pictures inside’ styles, and features Legoshi and Louis glaring hard at something or someone. It also shows off season 2 newcomers Free, Pina, and Ibuki. As of now, the plan is for Season 2 of Beastars to air on Fuji TV’s +Ultra block alongside a weekly release on Netflix Japan....

Mexico 6/4 for victory Such is the situation for El Tri manager Juan Carlos Osorio, who called in 23 field players for friendly games in Europe against Belgium and Poland but has seen five leave since Thursday. First came Jesus Corona, who left before the Belgium match because of a personal tragedy. Two players, forward Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez and midfielder Edson Alvarez, didn’t make it through their shifts against the Red Devils....

SAMUELS: Some people are going to be surprised to hear that you’ve been on the road opening for ‘N Sync. COMBS: I think what they’ve done as far as crossing over and erasing the color line is incredible. Their songs “Gone” and “Girlfriend” got huge crossover play on black radio, and that was important to them, so this just kind of made sense. We hang tight. You see how they’re in and out of my room and I’m in and out of their rooms?...

The eventual champions could well have had their tournament ended in the Round of 16 when they trailed 2-1 to 2014 finalists Argentina. Messi’s men had gone ahead through two goals either side of half-time, but a sublime Benjamin Pavard equaliser set the scene for Kylian Mbappe’s heroics in France’s eventual 4-3 victory. It was the only real scare Didier Deschamps’ side would receive in Russia as they went on to overcome Uruguay, Belgium and Croatia to lift the trophy for the second time....

Everton star Gueye admits that he grew up idolising legendary figures at Manchester United and Real Madrid. He has, however, shifted his focus since becoming a professional himself, with Kante now held up as being the complete package when it comes to defining the ultimate performer in a holding role. Cahill: Kante will get even better “When I was younger, my hero was former Manchester United midfielder David Beckham,” Gueye wrote in a column for Sport 360....

In the opening segment of the May 11 episode of Monday Night RAW, Becky Lynch walked to the ring without her RAW Women’s Championship, just the white Money in the Bank briefcase won by Asuka on Sunday. An emotional Lynch talked about coming to America and joining the WWE, and was afraid that the fans wouldn’t get behind her, but they did in a big way. That’s why she wanted her fans to know why she would have to leave....
