The Germany international has been caught in a contract stand-off with the Bundesliga side this season, with the two sides of discussions moving in opposite directions. Schalke had been hoping to see a highly-rated home-grown talent commit his future to the team by penning an extension. Meyer has, however, opted against signing an extension and will instead walk away this summer, amid strong links to Premier League rivals Arsenal and Liverpool....

The Warriors opened the Western Conference finals with a comfortable 116-94 victory in Game 1 at Oracle Arena. Curry was in fine form, scoring a game-high 36 points including making an impressive nine-of-15 from three-point range. Lillard said the Trail Blazers would need to improve defensively to have any chance against the two-time reigning NBA champions. “That was very poor execution defensively on our part,” he told a news conference....

The proposed federal legislation would allow no abortion “on demand” after 15 weeks except in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother. “If we adopted our bill, we would be in the mainstream of most everyone else in the world,” Graham said during a press conference at the Capitol. “There are 47 of 50 European countries that have banned abortion from 12 to 15 weeks....

HuffPost reporter Ryan Reilly captured the exchange at the end of Wednesday’s proceedings, and tweeted photographs of the two men shaking hands outside a lift in the Capitol building. Reilly reported that Graham told Schiff, “Good job,” adding, “Very well spoken.” Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse is also seen in the photos, smiling as Graham and Schiff interacted. The same exchange was reported by NBC News journalist Frank Thorp. Schiff—the chair of the House Intelligence Committee—has become one of the most visible Democratic lawmakers in Trump’s impeachment and subsequent Senate trial....

Graham said the trial will happen soon, citing the Senate Democrats who have urged House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to submit the articles of impeachment to the Senate. “You said it was urgent; if you believe it to be urgent, send it to the Senate for disposition,” Graham told host Sean Hannity. “She’s losing Democrats in the Senate. The impeachment dam of Nancy Pelosi is about to crack. Hats off to Mitch McConnell for playing this very well....

Graham spoke to Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Monday and reiterated his belief that Trump was essential for the party going forward. He had expressed the same sentiment in another interview with Hannity last week. “The most popular Republican in America—it’s not Lindsey Graham, is not Liz Cheney, it’s Donald Trump,” said Graham on Monday. “To try to erase Donald Trump from the Republican party is insane. And the people who try to erase him are going to wind up getting erased,” Graham added....

Real Madrid star Toni Kroos was not pleased when France Football handed Messi the Ballon d’Or in 2021. The German believed it was not the right decision and hinted that it should have been Robert Lewandowski, who finished second in the race. Chelsea star Jorginho was third on the list, after winning the UEFA Champions League and the EURO 2020 in the season. He was once touted as the favorite for the award, which Messi eventually won....

The Barcelona ace has already scored a record number of 597 for the Catalan giants and is still on course to break Pele’s world record of 643 goals in Santos colour. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner is also the top scorer for the Albiceleste. With 65 goals in the famous sky blue and white shirt, Messi has led Argentina to three consecutive finals of three major international tournaments, including 2014 Brazil World Cup, 2015 Chile Copa America and 2016 Copa America Centenario in United States....

In case you didn’t know… Messi and Ronaldo have been at the centre of one of football’s greatest on-field rivalries, intensifying their duel by playing for arch-rivals, Barcelona and Real Madrid, respectively. The five-time Ballon d’Or winners have, however, not faced each other since Ronaldo made a switch to Juventus in the summer of 2018. The 34-year-old forward has since won the Serie A title and the Supercoppa Italiana with the Bianconeri, finishing his debut campaign as the league’s best player....

Well, why does it matter? Most importantly, European Sports Media (ESM), the company which gives out the European Golden Shoe award considers Marca’s figures for their calculations, so this one goal could prove crucial in the later stages of the season when the race for the award heats up. Also, the opinion of the Spanish media outlet influences the ‘Pichichi’ award as well, thus, a final decision on who gets the credit for the goal needs to be taken soon....

The Argentina international has suffered a right thigh muscle injury, Barcelona confirmed on their account on social networking site Twitter. The club added that Messi will get medical attention on Sunday to get an idea about the seriousness of the injury. Barcelona boss Gerardo Martino was unsure whether the injury would keep Messi out of Barcelona’s upcoming games. “Apparently Messi picked up small muscle strain in the back of his right leg when he scored,” Martino said....

The French tactician does not view Messi as irreplaceable, and this is said to have angered the 35-year-old. His performances in the final third have done little to impress Christophe Galtier, who substituted the playmaker while pushing for a win against Monaco. This decision is one that Messi does not understand, and El Nacional claims that the manager does not consider the Argentine to be ‘a key man in his schemes....

The championship organised by Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL) is aimed at showcasing the best of talent for Indian team selection ahead of country’s participation in next year’s FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup. Lionesses’ Sumati Kumari could have easily scored the first goal of the tournament inside six minutes but it was Panthers’ captain Sudha who had the misfortune of guiding the ball into her own net while clearing a cross from the enigmatic Sunita Munda....

“It’s not in my will yet, but I’m sure it will be,” he said. “If you can do anything after, it’s kind of like donating your organs after death. Why wouldn’t you if they are healthy enough to help someone else live or make life better?

Releasing a statement on Sunday, Sen. Murkowski said President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus bill was “wholly partisan” and dubbed some measures in the plan “unnecessary” and unrelated to the ongoing pandemic. She also said she was concerned that the relief bill—known as the American Rescue Plan—would provide further help to those who had already “benefited” from the pandemic. A key plank of the $1.9 trillion is very popular among Alaskans—the plan for a new round of $1,400 stimulus checks....

At the same time, however, nature is always ready for a challenge. On one side there are not necessarily gifted players like Kobe Bryant and to use a more recent example, Luka Doncic. On the other hand, there are also what we call ‘freaks’ of nature, like the current MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. These freaks are also produced in all shapes and sizes and there have been players with gifted athleticism who have undoubtedly scripted unforgettable legacies....

Kea hurled a shutout and was overpowering in the process. In 81 pitches, he struck out 15 while surrendering just three hits and a walk. The game was a pitcher’s duel through a scoreless three innings. Hawaii scored its first run in the fourth when John De la Cruz drove in Hunter Nishina from second with a single. Hawaii added to its lead with a pair of insurance runs in the bottom of the fifth....
