🎥 Inter Miami duo display Barça DNA in first-half strike vs the Galaxy
Not long after the Herons were denied a first goal after a sensational back-heel pass from Luis Suárez found Telasco Segovia in the box, Busquets and Alba tapped into their telepathic understanding to pounce in the 43rd minute.
Busquets, long viewed as one of the top midfielders Spain has ever produced, dispatched an inch-perfect ball into space to find the marauding Alba down the right flank, with the diminutive full-back having only Novak Mićović to beat, which he did with a composed finish from inside the box.
It was vintage Barça from the former La Roja stars, and a sign that they're still capable of producing moments of unquestionable quality.

Panthers great Cam Newton to have jersey number retired by Auburn
Before he was a Carolina Panthers legend, Cam Newton was a University of Auburn legend. So before there was a No. 1, there was a No. 2. But that won't be the case, at least for the Tigers' football program, any longer—as the school announced on Monday that they will retire Newton's No. 2 jersey this upcoming season. Newton's lone year at Auburn is regarded as one of, if the not greatest season in college football history. That storybook 2010 campaign saw the Atlanta, Ga. native pass for 2,908 yards and 30 touchdowns and run for 1,473 yards and 20 more scores en route to a landslide victory of the Heisman Trophy and the second-ever national championship in Auburn's history. His efforts helped him become the first overall selection of the 2011 NFL draft—a pick made, of course, by the Panthers. Auburn is set to officially retire Newton's number on Oct. 11, before the Tigers take on the Georgia Bulldogs at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Newton will be the fourth Tiger to have his number retired—joining Bo Jackson, Pat Sullivan and Terry article originally appeared on Panthers Wire: Panthers great Cam Newton to have jersey number retired by Auburn

Jose Manuel Lopez earns first Argentina callup for World Cup qualifiers
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Palmeiras striker Jose Manuel Lopez received his first Argentina callup on Monday for World Cup qualifiers against Venezuela and Ecuador. Led by 38-year-old captain Lionel Messi, the team also includes young talents like Real Madrid's recent signing Franco Mastantuono and Manchester City's Claudio Echeverri. 'Flaco' Lopez caught the eye of coach Lionel Scaloni for his goal-scoring output at Palmeiras, where he joined in 2022 from Lanús. Tall at 1.9 meters, the center forward has 15 goals in 42 matches this year. World champion Argentina has already secured a spot for the 2026 World Cup and leads South American qualifying. Argentina will host Venezuela on Sept. 4 at Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires and visit Ecuador on Sept. 9 in Guayaquil for the final doubleheader of the competition. The Argentines will be without Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández, who received a two-match suspension for his sending off against Colombia in June. Instead, Alan Varela, a star of Porto in Portugal, was chosen. ___ AP soccer: The Associated Press
