Meanwhile, The share prices of United Sprits went up by over 3 per cent on Tuesday after reports surfaced that its parent company - Diageo - was looking to sell stakes in IPL franchise Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Social media was abuzz with rumours with many suggesting that company was looking to capitalise on RCB's victory in IPL 2025. However, United Spirits issued a clarification denying any such reports.
"This has reference to your email communication dated 10th June 2025 seeking clarification from the Company on media reports in relation to potential stake sale of RCB. The Company would like to clarify that aforesaid media reports are speculative in nature and it is not pursuing any such discussions," United Spirits told the Bombay Stock Exchange and BSE Surveillance Department.
Meanwhile, former Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman Lalit Modi has strongly criticised the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) franchise and the Karnataka state government for the tragic stampede that claimed 11 lives and left several others injured during the team's victory parade in Bengaluru earlier this month.
Following RCB's maiden IPL title win, thousands of jubilant fans gathered outside the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on June 4, where the official celebrations were held. However, the event took a devastating turn as the overcrowded venue led to chaos when fans attempted to forcefully enter the stadium, resulting in a deadly stampede.
Speaking exclusively to IANS, Lalit Modi expressed deep condolences to the families of the victims and labelled the incident as a case of gross mismanagement.
"First and foremost, my condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in the stampede. This should never have happened. The entire event was poorly planned and executed," Modi said.
"There is so much mudslinging and finger-pointing going on, but the issue is simple — the event should never have been allowed without proper arrangements in place. The authorities failed, and the team management should also have ensured fan safety before participating in the so-called celebrations."

Leroy Sané bids Bayern fans goodbye ahead of a likely move to Galatasaray
ISTANBUL — Germany winger Leroy Sané posted an emotional farewell message to Bayern Munich fans on Thursday as he nears a move to Galatasaray on a free transfer. The Turkish league champion confirmed on social media late Wednesday that Sané arrived in Istanbul for negotiations. 'After 5 intense years here in Munich, I've decided to start a new chapter in the upcoming season," Sané wrote on Instagram. "I'm incredibly proud to have worn the jersey of the best and biggest club in Germany for over 200 matches and will always cherish the titles we've won together.' Sané's contract with Bayern expires at the end of the month, though he has been included in Bayern's squad for the Club World Cup in the U.S. Talks on a possible extension dragged on through the season without a resolution, even as Bayern reached agreements on new contracts with teammates like Jamal Musiala and Joshua Kimmich. A five-year stay will end at Bayern, which signed Sané in 2020 for a reported fee of just under 50 million euros after a lengthy pursuit of the then-Manchester City player. During his time in Munich, he's won the Bundesliga four times, but has faced criticism in recent seasons for a perceived lack of consistency, especially in European games. Sané scored 13 times in 45 games across all competitions for Bayern this season but only one of those goals came in the Champions League. soccer: /hub/soccer

Trent Alexander-Arnold joins Real Madrid: His first words after leaving Liverpool, all you need to know
Trent Alexander-Arnold (AP Photo) New Real Madrid acquisition Trent Alexander-Arnold stated during his Thursday presentation that Real Madrid was the singular club he would have contemplated departing Liverpool for. Although Liverpool supporters initially expressed displeasure at the academy graduate's summer departure announcement, they ultimately provided a cordial farewell during the final Premier League fixture. "It was never a question of where, it was whether to go or not to go," the 26-year-old defender told a news conference. "I always knew... if I was to ever leave Liverpool, it would only be to go to Real Madrid, that would be the only club for me... "I'm not going to say it was easy because I'd been there so long, been a part of it, but eventually, you have to make a decision. "In my mind, I've made the right one and it's one that I'm very excited about." The full-back expressed his reverence for the 15-time European Cup winners' legacy and his desire to contribute to it. "A big reason why I joined is to be a part of that amazing history that club's got," he said. "Be a part of the success going forward, joining an exciting, young team with a lot of potential." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Alexander-Arnold secured a contract until 2031, facilitating an early arrival before the Club World Cup despite his contract nearing expiration. He joins former Liverpool midfielder and current Madrid manager Xabi Alonso's project after securing a second Premier League title under Arne Slot at Liverpool. Alonso achieved Champions League success with Liverpool in 2005, participating in a notable final against AC Milan where Liverpool recovered from a three-goal deficit to triumph in Turkey. "I grew up a Liverpool fan, being able to see (that game in) Istanbul with the manager now, doing amazing things there, part of an incredible final," said Alexander-Arnold. "We've spoken a little bit... I told him that he was a big idol of mine growing up." The England international's ball control and passing abilities reflect similarities to Alonso's style. "It probably impacted my game a lot growing up, seeing him pass a ball, I explained this to him as well," the defender continued. "Watching him pass a ball, seeing it influenced me to be able to go and train harder and have a great kind of hunger to be able to do that and set standards." 'I'll be a sponge': Alexander-Arnold Alexander-Arnold expressed his eagerness to learn from Alonso and his willingness to adapt to any position, whether defensive or midfield. "It's not just me who's new here, he's a new manager, he's got to get his ideas across to the whole team," he said. "He's shown how amazing he is managerial-wise and as a player, so his knowledge of football is there in abundance and I'm excited, I'll be a sponge around him." His Madrid debut could occur against Al-Hilal on June 18 in Miami during their Club World Cup opener. At Madrid, Alexander-Arnold will wear number 12, with 'Trent' displayed instead of his surname. "I've always found when I travel to Europe, the whole name situation confuses a lot of people," he explained. "I just thought let's make it simple, let's make it easy. Trent on the back, be known as Trent." Madrid, who also recruited centre-back Dean Huijsen from Bournemouth, seeks success in the United States this summer after failing to secure major trophies under Alonso's predecessor Carlo Ancelotti. "We go straight to America for the Club World Cup and our ambition there is to go and win that trophy as well," said the defender. "I'm looking to have a great start." Previously, Alexander-Arnold impressed attendees by delivering a brief Spanish address during his presentation. "Signing for a club like Real Madrid does not happen every day. It's a dream come true," he said. "I'm conscious that playing for Real Madrid is a big responsibility, but I'm ready to give everything."
