Benfica president Rui Costa slams Enzo Fernandez’s conduct during Chelsea transfer saga

The west London outfit reignited a move for the World Cup winner with just a few days of the transfer window remaining, with Benfica having been adamant he was not for sale when initial approaches were made at the start of the month. Costa has now confirmed that he relented on that stance on the proviso that Fernandez would remain at the club until the summer, even accepting a smaller fee than the release clause and ensuring that the midfielder would earn the same salary being offered by Chelsea. But the 22-year-old had no intention of seeing out the rest of the season in Lisbon, with some reports even claiming he threatened to return to Argentina and never play for Benfica again. Costa has suggested that was indeed the case and once Fernandez had delivered his ultimatum the Benfica c...

Tom Brady retires ‘for good’ after 23 seasons in NFL

Legendary quarterback and record seven-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady says he is retiring "for good" after 23 seasons in the NFL. Brady, 45, first announced his retirement on this day last year but reversed his decision six weeks later, claiming he had "unfinished business". He won six Super Bowls with the New England Patriots and one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021. Brady's final season ended in the Bucs' 31-14 play-off defeat last month. "I'm retiring - for good," he said in an emotional video posted on social media. "I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I woke up this morning I figured I'd just press record and let you guys know first. "It won't be long-winded. You only get one super-emotional retirement essay and I used mine up last year. ...

NBA: LeBron James scores first triple-double of season to move close to all-time scoring record

LeBron James moved closer to breaking the NBA's all-time scoring record as he produced his first triple-double of the season in the Los Angeles Lakers' 129-123 win over the New York Knicks. The 38-year-old is just 89 points shy of breaking the record of 38,387 points held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. James made 28 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds in the Lakers' overtime win. He is now fourth on the NBA's assists list with 10,338, still way behind all-time leader John Stockton's 15,806. Victory ended the Lakers' two-game losing streak, while the Knicks - led by Jalen Brunson on a game-high 37 points - have lost six of their last eight games. While James got his first, Nikola Jokic made his NBA-leading 16th triple-double of the season as the Denver Nuggets beat the New Orleans Pe...

The medical miracle behind Novak Djokovic’s Australian Open win

Australian Open tournament director Craig Tiley said Novak Djokovic played at the Grand Slam event with a muscle tear of three centimetres in his left hamstring along the way to winning the championship. “He gets a bad rap, but at the end of the day, I don't think anyone can question his athleticism. This guy, I did see, he had a three centimetre tear in his hammy,'' Tiley said in an interview with SEN Sportsday. “The doctors are ... going to tell you the truth,'' Tiley said. “I think there was a lot of speculation of whether it was true or not. It's hard to believe that someone can do what they do with those types of injuries. But he's remarkable.'' Djokovic won the trophy at Melbourne Park on Sunday by beating Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets for a record-extending 10th title the...

Alpine offer first look at 2023 F1 car

Alpine secured fourth in the Constructors' Championship last season, despite suffering eight retirements. Whilst Alpine aren’t launching their 2023 challenger (the A523) until February 16, the Enstone-based outfit have given fans a “snippet” of what to possibly expect, with there being a noticeable similarity to a 2022 design. Alpine released a video onto social media showing their new car’s sidepods and cockpit, with it looking incredibly similar to Red Bull’s successful 2022 design. Red Bull, of course, claimed 17 victories last season with the mighty RB18, a car that Alpine have seemingly taken inspiration from. The video shows that the French side have opted for a steeper groove down the flank of the sidepods, running alongside the cockpit where Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly will...

‘I will run it as I want’ – new Ferrari F1 team boss puts foot down

Fred Vasseur, Ferrari's newly appointed team principal, has made it clear that he will be in charge of the Scuderia's Formula 1 team. Vasseur, who previously held positions at Alfa Romeo and Sauber, took over the role on 9 January, succeeding Mattia Binotto. There had been speculation that Vasseur would not have complete control over the team and that chairman John Elkann and CEO Benedetto Vigna would play a larger role in the day-to-day management of the Maranello outfit. However, in an interview with selected media, Vasseur stated: "The Gestione Sportiva, the team, is part of the bigger organisation of Ferrari. I have a CEO, and it's Benedetto Vigna, and I have a chairman [Elkann] for the company, and the situation is crystal clear. "But even at Sauber, I had to report to the chair...
