📸 It doesn't get much closer: Ramos so nearly heads in the equaliser 🫣
Sergio Ramos had participated in the Club World Cup with Real Madrid four times and won all four times. However, with his new club, Monterrey, the 39-year-old was eliminated in the round of 16 against Borussia Dortmund (1:2).

The center-back himself had the equalizer on his head. In the first minute of stoppage time, he won the header against Niklas Süle and headed the ball perfectly. Actually. Because you can see here how narrowly he missed.
That the ball went past could not even be believed by Ramos himself. And so it remained with the 1:2 defeat against BVB. A reunion with his former club is thus canceled for Ramos.

Watch – Real Madrid midfield duo involved in heated exchange during Juventus clash
Real Madrid progressed to the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup with a 1-0 victory over Juventus in Miami last night, thanks to a goal from Gonzalo early in the second half. Xabi Alonso's side continues to improve, with four matches now under the new coach, and most of the news from the Madrid camp is positive. Advertisement Gonzalo's emergence, the team's defensive solidity, Kylian Mbappe's return after illness, and Real Madrid's steady improvement with each game have all been encouraging signs. However, there was one moment of concern during last night's encounter. Bellingham, Guler get into it During the second half of the match, there was a tense altercation between Real Madrid duo Arda Guler and Jude Bellingham. The Turkish and English players engaged in a heated exchange for several seconds, and the confrontation has quickly gone viral on social media. In the footage, Guler and Bellingham can be seen arguing from a few metres apart, seemingly over positioning on the pitch. Advertisement After the exchange, the Turkish prodigy approached Bellingham to offer an explanation, but the Englishman appeared displeased with what was said and even raised his finger. Aurelien Tchouameni, who was nearby, attempted to intervene between the two. The argument did not escalate further and appears to be one of many that occur between players during high-stakes football matches. And both Guler and Bellingham will want to put it behind them and focus on helping Real Madrid win the Club World Cup.

Luka Doncic, Deandre Ayton are Lakers teammates because of wild draft trade
Deandre Ayton and Luka Doncic are set to begin their journey as teammates but it's far from the first time they've been linked. Both players were drafted in 2018 and their respective careers have trended in opposite directions. Advertisement Ayton was the first one to make an NBA Finals with Phoenix in 2021, while Doncic reached the final round in 2024. Neither player won a championship, but Doncic has continued to show he is capable of returning there while Ayton was dumped by the Portland Trail Blazers. Ironically, Ayton was selected first overall before Luka went to the Hawks two picks later. Atlanta then dealt him to the Mavericks for Trae Young. Doncic has gone on to have much more success and the strange turn of events in the 2018 draft have led to the pair becoming teammates. Revisiting why Ayton was selected over Luka in the 2018 NBA Draft It all starts with need. The 2018 draft was led by Phoenix, who had a ball-dominant guard in Devin Booker, and Sacramento, who also had a backcourt scorer in De'Aaron Fox. Advertisement Ayton, fresh off a season averaging 20 points and 10 rebounds at Arizona, was viewed as the safest prospect available who could pair well with a talented ballhandler. Kane Pitman of The Sporting News analyzed the trade back in 2022. He also referenced the Suns' unsuccessful history of selecting foreign players. Doncic, a EuroLeague MVP, could have been passed on partially because of his basketball development happened overseas. Is it possible the Suns were shying away from using another top selection on an international player given just two drafts earlier they had used the fourth overall pick on Croatian talent, Dragan Bender? -Kane Pitman, The Sporting News There were also rumors that Doncic could pivot and stay in Europe if he wasn't traded to the destination he wanted. The reports were unfounded but the Slovenian did have leverage because of his affiliation with overseas basketball. On the other hand, Ayton was a blue-chip prospect from a big school who had proved his ability to record a nightly double-double. Looking back, it was an obvious choice to take Doncic but hindsight is always 20/20. There were no guarantees that Doncic would be a superstar or that Ayton would flop. Advertisement It's interesting to imagine how the NBA would look if things played out differently. The downfall of the Suns, the dismantling of the Mavericks, and the past five years of the NBA would all be drastically altered. But with both players on the Lakers and Luka reportedly "excited" to team up with the big man, the past doesn't matter. The pair of top three picks are now focused on the future together.
