Nicolas Kühn equals 11-year feat against Bayern Munich 👻
Celtic are dreaming of a place in the Champions League's last 16 after drawing level in Tuesday's play-off tie with Bayern Munich.Nicolas Kühn handed Brendan Rodgers' side a much-needed goal by opening the scoring at the Allianz Arena and emulated a 11-year feat in the process.
The winger's angled strike against his one-time employers was the first time that they have conceded to a German player in the knockout stages since 2014.
The last one to do it? Another ex-Bayern man in Lukas Podolski.
Fortunately for Vincent Kompany's side, it did not come back to haunt them thanks to Alphonso Davies' stoppage-time winner to tip the balance in their favour.

Anonymous – Inter Milan Captain Fails To Get Into The Game In 5-0 Champions League Final Loss Vs PSG
Anonymous – Inter Milan Captain Fails To Get Into The Game In 5-0 Champions League Final Loss Vs PSG Nerazzurri captain Lautaro Martinez ended up cutting an anonymous figure in yesterday's Champions League final between PSG and Inter Milan. This is the view in today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement Inter captain Lautaro Martinez did everything to be available against Paris Saint-Germain yesterday. The Argentine had been absent for a few weeks with a thigh problem. This was something he had suffered during Inter's Champions League semifinal tie against Barcelona. However, returning against PSG for the final was always going to be the priority. In truth, however, Martinez hardly need have bothered. Lautaro Martinez Cuts An Anonymous Figure In PSG 5-0 Inter Milan UCL Final GENOA, ITALY – AUGUST 17: Lautaro Martinez of Inter looks on during a warm-up session prior to kick-off in the Serie A match between Genoa and Inter at Stadio Luigi Ferraris on August 17, 2024 in Genoa, Italy. (Photo by) Lautaro Martinez did try to help his team up the pitch. The 27-year-old battled with Paris Saint-Germain defender Willian Pacho. He would try to chest down the ball and gain some ground to get Inter into the Parisians' half. Advertisement Moreover, Martinez would drop deeper at times. He would aim to offer support in the midfield battle in which PSG were overrunning Inter. Then, the Nerazzurri captain would pick up his head to try and spring a quick add with a forward or diagonal pass. However, in truth, none of this was really to any sort of avail. Time and time again, the PSG defense dealt with Martinez comfortably. And the Argentine lacked the quality or presence in the penalty area to create any real danger.

2024-25 Conn Smythe odds, prediction: Connor McDavid installed as favorite ahead of Stanley Cup Final
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. The 2025 Stanley Cup Final is set to get underway Wednesday and bookmakers are having a really tough time separating the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers. The Oilers have home-ice advantage are slight -130 favorites to win the best-of-seven series at bet365, but if it were the Panthers hosting four potential games then the odds would likely be flipped. Flip a coin. With the odds to win the Stanley Cup so tight, it would make sense that the market for the Conn Smythe Trophy to be the same. Connor McDavid is an even-money favorite to win the Conn Smythe, which would make the Oilers captain the fourth player to win the trophy in consecutive years but the first to do it despite being on the losing team in at least one of those years. Leon Draisaitl has seven goals so far in the 2024-25 Stanley Cup Playoffs. NHLI via Getty Images McDavid currently leads the playoffs in points, assists and shots on goal. Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky (+250) has the shortest odds of any player on the Panthers. Bobrovsky was the only other player in last year's Final to receive a first-place vote besides McDavid. Betting on the NHL? Aleksander Barkov is the third choice on the board ahead of Game 1 at +550 odds. Barkov leads the Panthers in scoring with 17 points, but will also play a pivotal role in attempting to shut down McDavid and Leon Draisaitl in this series. Barkov's two-way game is so well respected that he doesn't need to put up eye-popping point totals to get serious consideration for this award. Leon Draisaitl is the only other player with single-digit odds at +750. The German star is one point behind McDavid in the scoring race and is tied with Corey Perry for the team lead in goals with seven. Conn Smythe betting odds Player Odds Connor McDavid +100 Sergei Bobrovsky +250 Aleksander Barkov +550 Leon Draisaitl +750 Matthew Tkachuk 25/1 Sam Bennett 28/1 Stuart Skinner 33/1 Carter Verhaeghe 60/1 Brad Marchand 75/1 Odds via bet365 Conn Smythe best bet Leon Draisaitl (+750) The oddsmakers seem to be making a stand. They are saying that if the Oilers win this series, McDavid will be given the Conn Smythe Trophy. While there is certainly a strong chance that it happens, McDavid is just one point ahead of Draisaitl in the scoring race, and it's the German who has more goals in his account in the playoffs. If Draisaitl continues at his current pace and scores a couple of big goals in this series en route to an Edmonton victory, he will be neck and neck with McDavid.

A guide to multi-club ownership: How does it work?

Red Bull-related clubs Leeds United (top-left), Salzburg (top-right), Leipzig (bottom-left) and New York (bottom-right). | Credit: Future Multi-club ownership is increasingly common in football, with plenty of big-money owners splashing out to take control of several clubs around the world. Advertisement Take Red Bull, for instance. They have varying stakes in Leeds United, FC Liefering, New York Red Bulls, Paris FC, RB Leipzig, TV Omiya Ardija, Red Bull Bragantino and Red Bull Salzburg. Several English clubs are part of similar models to different degrees, including Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United, Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, Arsenal, Nottingham Forest, and… well, loads more, including down in the lower leagues. So what are the rules on multi-club ownership? Can you own two clubs in the same league? Sir Jim Ratcliffe was linked with buying Chelsea before he bought Manchester United – and he certainly couldn't buy the Blues now | Credit: Getty Images Not in England you can't, certainly not at Premier League and EFL level. The EFL Owners and Directors' Test will automatically disqualify directors who hold an 'interest' in more than one club within the EFL, while the Premier League's own rules say that 'no Person may either directly or indirectly be involved in or have any power to determine or influence the management or administration of more than one [Premier League] Club.' Advertisement While that only applies within each league, the FA have an overarching rule with the same wording as the Premier League that applies to the entire English football pyramid. There is some suggestion that one person/company could own a stake of less than 25%, which would not represent significant control of any one club. That's a higher threshold than is set by UEFA; their rules mean a majority owner of one club could have a less than 50 per cent stake in another club playing in the same competition. That's the lowest bar available, though, and it's up to individual countries' FA to decide if they want to be stricter. Can two clubs from the same ownership compete in Europe? Girona's participation in Europe asked questions of UEFA | Credit: Getty Images This increasingly contentious issue came to a head in 2024 after Girona qualified for the Champions League and Nice qualified for the Europa League. Advertisement The issue was the Girona are part of the City Football Group alongside Manchester City, who also qualified for the Champions League. Manchester United meanwhile joined Nice in the Europa League; both clubs are at least part-owned by INEOS, headed by Sir Jim Ratcliffe. UEFA ultimately decided that each pair of clubs could compete in the same continental competition as long as: No one is simultaneously involved, directly or indirectly, in any capacity whatsoever in the management, administration and/or sporting performance of more than one club participating in a UEFA club competition; and No one has control or decisive influence over more than one club participating in a UEFA club competition. Essentially, then, no one person can be involved in the running or decision-making of two or more clubs within a single UEFA competition. City Football Group and INEOS swiftly made sure they were in line with that, and all four clubs were permitted entry to their respective competitions. That's why Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis recently officially ceased to be a 'person of significant control' at the club. Advertisement Forest could potentially end up qualifying for either the Champions League or Europa League with Greek side Olympiacos next season. They're also owned by Marinakis, and so he had to officially step away from Forest to ensure they didn't run into any trouble should that occur. On top of that, clubs in that kind of situation have to apply to UEFA to get the all-clear to proceed into competition against one another. For 2024/25, UEFA allowed clubs to transfer the club to an 'independent third party', like a blind trust, which would be appointed to look out for the interests of that club only, without any consideration for the wider ownership group. Do clubs from the same ownership share resources? City are part of a much bigger network | Credit: Getty Images As far as we can tell, there's nothing to stop them from sharing scouting info and things like that as long as they're not in the same European competition as one another. Advertisement UEFA are keen to ensure that clubs remain independent from one another. To that end, they got a commitment from City Football Group and INEOS that they would not transfer players to one another until September 2025, nor would they 'conclude any kind of cooperation, joint technical or commercial agreements between each other' or 'use any joint scouting or player database'. It seems likely that they would ask for a similar commitment from any other clubs who face a similar situation in future. What's to stop clubs from the same ownership transferring players to each other for free? Red Bull players have often moved between clubs | Credit:Three words: 'associated party transactions'. Advertisement In the Premier League, the rules say that any transfers between 'associated parties' (i.e. clubs within the same ownership group) need to be assessed by the Premier League first to see whether they represent 'fair market value'. What that means is a judgement call for the Premier League assessors, but they could put a halt to any proposed transfer that was 'evidently not' at fair market value. We're not sure it would really be in clubs' interests to try and fiddle it that way, anyway. Each league has its own version of the Premier League's Profit & Sustainability Rules that need to be met. In their current form, both clubs would generally be better off just doing trades between themselves at 'fair market value' anyway, for boring accounting reasons that we won't get into here.
