Bayern Munich bids goodbye to Thomas Müller. He shouts, 'Let us play!'
MUNICH (AP) — Bayern Munich fans have paid tribute to Thomas Müller before his last home game for the club on Saturday.
The supporters behind one of the goals displayed a huge red and white tifo with a picture of Müller and his name in giant letters, and a banner above it saying, 'For 25 years everything for our colors!'
The 35-year-old Müller was also presented with a picture of himself with all the trophies he won with the Bavarian powerhouse.
'Let us play!' he shouted as he brought the picture and a bouquet of flowers to the sideline.
Bayern, which clinched the Bundesliga title last weekend, was to play Borussia Mönchengladbach before the team was to be presented with the trophy.
Müller is leaving at the end of the season after winning a record 13 leagues titles among others with the club.

NFL player says his team lied about 'culture change'
Miami Dolphins linebacker Bradley Chubb told reporters that his team was "lying" about a change in culture last season. "I'm going to say last year we were lying, honestly, point-blank, period. We felt it," Chubb said at the team's minicam Wednesday. "We put our toe in the water, but we didn't dive all the way in. We didn't get all the way there with each other. We weren't making the effort to go the extra mile." He continued, "I would say this year we're doing that. I'm not sure how it's going to turn out for us, but we are putting forth that foot to change it. … If it works out, it's going to work out. If it doesn't, we're going to get back to the drawing board and make sure it works out." Head coach Mike McDaniel reacted to Chubb's comments while speaking to reporters. "It would have been awesome if he would have told me on the front end when they were lying," McDaniel said. "Beyond that, 2024, unless I'm using it directly for an analogy, I'm much more concerned with 2025. I think you do a lot more for the organization if you spend your time thinking forward in terms of not this, that or the other or whose fault it was. No, we want it like this, let's do it like this, and this is who we are. I don't even – what year did you speak of? I guess I'll read about that in history books."

Brian Robinson Jr. Focused on Breakout Season in Contract Year
Brian Robinson Jr. Focused on Breakout Season in Contract Year originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. is entering the final year of his rookie contract and will look to prove he deserves a new long-term deal this upcoming season. Advertisement "The biggest thing for me is just being available," Robinson told reporters last week. "Just being on the field, I think, when I'm healthy and I'm well.... the biggest thing for me is just being available, being out there on the field where I can continue to produce. Everything, as far as the craft, I'm going to continue to stay sharp and continue to work, put in the extra time, the extra hours in the building, outside the building, whatever I need to do to stay sharp." Robinson was an underrated member of the exciting Commanders team that shocked the NFL last year. He put up career-best numbers on the ground in 2024 to help the Commanders reach the NFC Championship game. The former Alabama running back tallied 799 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns last season. Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury emphasized how important Robinson will be to the team moving forward. Advertisement 'He's been really focused. The biggest thing that came out of last year I think was that any of the guys that we asked to go in and play, played at a really high level. B-Rob's a guy who has played an incredibly high level. I thought early in the year when he was really healthy, he was what we expect him to be, and the focus this offseason has been great. He knows what this year means to him and can mean to us when he plays at that level,' Kingsbury said. Robinson is a strong and powerful runner who will be running behind a physical offensive line—and he could emerge as an unheralded star in Washington's offense next season.

Milos Kerkez's dad makes 'done deal' statement on Liverpool transfer
Milos Kerkez to Liverpool is "basically a done deal" according to the player's father, who has claimed that the Bournemouth defender is unwilling to speak with any other team. Liverpool has already agreed on a deal in the region of $52 million for Kerkez, with personal terms finalized between the 21-year-old and the Premier League champions. Kerkez's brother has already dropped a major hint that the deal has been completed, and now his father has claimed that the agreement is almost complete. Advertisement "It's only Liverpool for us and we're not going anywhere else and we won't talk to other clubs," Kerkez's father said. "Everything is done between us we just need to sort out some details but it's basically a done deal."

Frimpong is expected to play in a variety of positions, with Conor Bradley stepping into the right-back role full-time. Liverpool is also on the verge of breaking its transfer record, after reaching an initial $139.5 million agreement with Bayer Leverkusen for midfielder Florian Wirtz.

"When a big club like AC Milan looks for you, there aren't many people who can say no," Kerkez said after signing. Advertisement "I received a phone call directly from Paolo Maldini. The decision was very simple and I took it together with my father." However, after listening to his father's advice, Kerkez left Milan after one season to sign with AZ Alkmaar. "I was doing well, I had many opportunities to train with the first team, and it was an unforgettable experience," Kerkez added. "But I decided once again with my father that going to AZ Alkmaar would be the perfect opportunity to establish myself in professional football. "We made the best choice," Kerkez concluded. Now, after two stunning seasons on the south coast of England, Kerkez is on the verge of joining the Premier League champions.
