4th-tier Cannes reaches French Cup semifinals after another upset win
CANNES, France (AP) — The French Cup semifinals will contain a team from the country's fourth tier after Cannes produced another shock by beating second-tier Guingamp 3-1 on Tuesday.
Cannes became the sixth team from the fourth division — National 2 — to reach the last four since 2000, according to French daily L'Equipe. Only one of them made the final, with Calais losing to Nantes in 2000.
Reims beat Angers 5-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw to advance to the semifinals for the first time since 1988.
The other two quarterfinal matches take place on Wednesday, including French champion Paris Saint-Germain playing Stade Briochin — also of the fourth tier, like Cannes.

Juventus Ready to Make Serious Push for €12M-per-Year Manchester United, PSG Target
PSG have been tracking Victor Osimhen since last year, and with the summer transfer window on the horizon, talk about his next move is heating up. According to GIVE ME SPORT, Manchester United are becoming increasingly worried about PSG's pursuit of the 26-year-old, with the French club now seen as favorites to land him. Advertisement The report also notes that PSG are prepared to meet both Osimhen's wage demands and his £63 million release clause, giving them an edge over Manchester United and Chelsea in the race for the striker. Juventus set sights on Manchester United, PSG targetTransfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio reports that if Vlahovic is sold, Juventus plan to sign two strikers. Kolo Muani is on their list, and the Bianconeri are expected to resume negotiations with PSG after the Club World Cup. Osimhen remains their top target, and Juventus are making a serious push to bring him to Turin, even though their budget for a striker is limited to €50 million. This week, Foot Mercato reported that Osimhen has resumed talks with Manchester United, who are still in the market for a No. 9. The French media outlet notes that talks have recently resumed based on the same conditions discussed weeks ago—namely, a €12 million salary for the player and a €75 million total package, including bonuses, for Napoli, who currently own the striker.

Sovereignty wins the 2025 Belmont Stakes
Jockey Junior Alvarado reacts atop Sovereignty as he crosses the finish line to win the 157th running of the Belmont Stakes. - Jessica Hill/AP Sovereignty, the 2025 Kentucky Derby winner, won the 157th running of the Belmont Stakes in Saratoga Springs, New York, on Saturday. The Godolphin-owned 3-year-old – who came into the race as the 5-2 favorite – narrowly beat the other favorite and Preakness Stakes winner, Journalism, by a margin of three lengths. Advertisement The win means Sovereignty has won two legs of horse racing's Triple Crown. The horse's team made the call after the Derby to not enter Sovereignty into the Preakness last month and instead focus on the Belmont. Baeza took third place – the same 1-2-3 as the Kentucky Derby last month. Alvarado celebrates with Sovereignty trainer Bill Mott after the Belmont Stakes. - Jessica Hill/AP Sovereignty jockey Junior Alvarado called his first wins at two of the most prized races 'surreal.' 'There was a point in my career, maybe five or six years ago, I could see everything fading away to be honest. And here I am,' Alvarado told the Fox broadcast. '… My family always my rock, big supporters. Helped me through tough moments in my life.' Advertisement A now two-time Belmont Stakes winner and Sovereignty's trainer, Bill Mott, said the decision to stay out of the Preakness 'turned out good.' 'If we wouldn't have won today, we would have taken a lot of criticism,' Mott said. 'It turned out good. Sometimes you make the right decision and a lot of times you make the wrong ones. But today, it really worked out well.' The Triple Crown hasn't been won since 2018, when Bob Baffert's Justify won the 105th Belmont Stakes to achieve the vaunted feat. It was the second consecutive year Saratoga Race Course hosted the Belmont Stakes due to renovations being done to Belmont Park. The race is expected back in Elmont, New York in 2027.
