Trent Alexander-Arnold to join Real Madrid from Liverpool before Club World Cup
Liverpool have agreed a deal for Trent Alexander-Arnold to join Real Madrid on June 1. The new Premier League champions confirmed a deal had been reached for him to join Real prior to the expiry of his Liverpool contract on June 30, and Real said this would enable the England international to play for the Spanish side at this summer's Club World Cup. The Reds confirmed a fee had been paid to secure the 26-year-old's services at the start of June rather than from July 1, with Real announcing Alexander-Arnold had agreed a six-year contract.

Clayton Kershaw goes for an even dozen against the Mets
The way things have been going offensively for the Dodgers in the last couple of days, they'll welcome the increased velocity from Tylor Megill's 95 MPH heaters. After opening up the weekend set against the Yankees with back-to-back wins, Dodger bats struggled in losses against the soft-tossing Ryan Yarbrough from the Yankees and Paul Blackburn from the Mets. Not only that, but despite not getting the win in the first game against the Mets, the Dodgers became the first team this season to force a blown save from the flame-throwing closer Edwin Díaz Anticipation will certainly build towards the potential return of Mookie Betts, who has missed the last four games with a toe fracture, something he suffered in a regular home accident, getting out of bed. Advertisement Betts isn't off to the greatest of starts with the bat in 2025, not by any means, but his absence creates a ripple effect in my lineup, ultimately demanding a bit more out of every other hitter. It should also be noted that the glove work from Betts has evolved so much that they miss him out at shortstop these days. At least one change is certain from the lineup that started this series with Will Smith starting at catcher instead of the youngster Dalton Rushing who has featured in the lineup in every Dustin May start since his call-up. On the pitching side, Clayton Kershaw will get a second crack at facing the New York Mets after his previous start against them was cut short due to a rain delay in Citi Field. Kershaw is not the pitcher he once was; he is not even necessarily the still incredibly productive arm he was a couple of years back, but after a rough first start, the future first Hall of Famer has shown promise. Given the current state of this staff, the Dodgers will take all the help they can get, and a veteran coming off one run in five innings of work certainly fits the bill. Across his historic career, one of the teams Kershaw has dominated the most is the New York Mets, and he'll put on the line this Tuesday an undefeated 11-0 regular season record against them. Kershaw has a 2.00 ERA in over 100 innings against this NL East opponent, and those 11 wins are the most he has against any opponent in the regular season without a loss.

Carlos Alcaraz is Turning Heads After French Open Announcement
Carlos Alcaraz is Turning Heads After French Open Announcement originally appeared on Athlon Sports. There's a reason Carlos Alcaraz is gaining popularity as the "Prince of Clay" — a nickname widely seen as a sign that he's following the "King of Clay," Rafael Nadal, as the next Spanish conqueror of the tennis clay surface. Advertisement On Sunday, Alcaraz beat American star Ben Shelton in a thrilling four-set affair, 7-6(8), 6-3, 4-6, 6-4. It wasn't an easy match for the No. 2 seed, who had a hard time countering Shelton's precise shots and cross-court returns. In fact, during the second set, Shelton delivered a strong return that Alcaraz appeared to send back and got a point for. However, the World No. 2 approached the umpire and admitted that he wasn't holding his racket when it made contact with the ball — which is not allowed. Shelton was awarded the point, while Alcaraz earned the respect of the Roland-Garros crowd for his class and sportsmanship. Still, it further highlighted how Shelton made things difficult for Alcaraz with his hard-to-reach shots. At the end of the day, though, Alcaraz fended off Shelton and booked a ticket to the French Open quarterfinal. Advertisement Furthermore, according to Roland-Garros, the win marked Alcaraz's 100th victory on clay surface, sparking excitement among fans. "New clay-level unlocked," Roland-Garros' Instagram wrote, along with an edited photo of Alcaraz while showing his milestone mark. "Carlitos the prince of clay," a commenter wrote. Another one said, "A giant of talent, athleticism, and sportsmanship. An example of what a real champion is." "Scary fact for the rest of the locker room: There's more to come," a fan stated. A supporter remarked, "The prince of clay! He will dominate the clay season. Hope he will be healthy all throughout years. Vamos Alcaraz." Advertisement "Great potential to build his own legacy on clay," a follower shared. A sixth poster added, "Carlos is physically fit, hardworker, and has mental perseverance, consistency, better conditioning and mobility. He's on [fire]."

Four-Year Prison Sentence Requested for Raúl Asencio
The legal case involving a sex video filmed and distributed by former Real Madrid youth players has taken another turn, as the legal defense team representing one of the underage victims is now formally requesting a four-year prison sentence for footballer Raúl Asencio. The case stems from an incident in 2023, when three Real Madrid youth team members recorded a sexual encounter at a beach club in Gran Canaria without the consent of the individuals involved — one of whom was a minor. According to a report from COPE, Asencio is accused of having shared the video despite not being present at the scene of the recording. The prosecution claims he received the explicit content, knew it had been filmed without permission, was aware one of the girls was underage, and that both victims had requested the video be deleted. Nonetheless, he is alleged to have shown it to a third party. As a result, he is facing charges of revealing secrets and child pornography. The prosecution is requesting: Four years in prison for Asencio A 20-month fine amounting to €10 per day €58,000 in total compensation for the underage victim The financial compensation request breaks down as follows: €27,000 for temporary injuries €21,000 for psychological trauma and post-traumatic stress €10,000 for moral damages COPE also reports that the other woman who appears in the video — who is of legal age — plans to file a similar complaint.
