German Cup: Ten Hag makes successful debut with Bayer Leverkusen and Bielefeld upsets Bremen
BERLIN (AP) — Erik ten Hag made a winning start as Bayer Leverkusen coach with a 4-0 result at fourth-tier team Sonnenhof Großaspach in the first round of the German Cup on Friday. Patrik Schick, Brazilian wing back Arthur, debutant Christian Kofane and Álex Grimaldo all scored, but they assumed control only after Großaspach captain Volkan Celikwas was sent off in the 66th with two bookings in as many minutes. Leverkusen was forced to defend for long periods after Schick's 32nd-minute opener. The Czech forward also needed to clear the ball off the line. Arthur scored the second shortly after Celikwas' sending off and the other goals followed Mert Tasdelen's late sending off for a bad challenge on Leverkusen defender Axel Tape. Ten Hag, the former Manchester United manager, took over from the Real Madrid-bound Xabi Alonso and has had little time to work with a squad undergoing huge changes. Key players like Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Granit Xhaka have left while Kofane, Tape, Ernest Poku, Ibrahim Maza, Jarell Quansah and goalkeeper Mark Flekken all made their debuts on Friday. 'Of course it needs time, you could see not every action worked out,' Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes said of the changes. 'But we saw today that we've got interesting young players. Ibrahim Maza did well and showed his qualities between the lines. And that's why it will take a little time, but we still have a good team.' The match was interrupted in the first half by a summer storm featuring hailstones. Referee Michael Bacher led the teams off the field. It resumed after a 40-minute break. Bielefeld does it again American forward Isaiah Young struck in the final minutes to fire last season's beaten finalist Arminia Bielefeld into the second round with a 1-0 win over Werder Bremen. The Bundesliga side's Leonardo Bittencourt was sent off in the 54th and Bielefeld pushed hard for the winner. Young made his entrance in the 79th and sent the home fans wild when he tucked the ball inside the left post in the third minute of stoppage time. Bielefeld, then playing in the third division, knocked out a host of Bundesliga clubs — including Bremen — on its way to the final in May, when Stuttgart proved too strong. Stuttgart's title defense won't start till later this month as it's playing Bayern Munich in the German Supercup on Saturday. Also on Friday, Union Berlin routed fourth-tier side Gütersloh 5-0 away, and second-division Magdeburg enjoyed a 3-1 win at third-division Saarbrücken. ___ AP soccer: Ciarán Fahey, The Associated Press

4-3-3 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup Vs Osasuna
Real Madrid will entertain Osasuna at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Tuesday night as they look to earn a good result in their La Liga season opener. Los Blancos managed to secure a dominant 4-0 win over WSG Tirol recently, which should keep them in good spirits ahead of this game. Xabi Alonso will opt for the 4-3-3 formation and is expected to name a strong first team for this clash. Kylian Mbappe will once again lead the line for the Madrid giants up top. 4-3-3 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup To Face Osasuna Defence Thibaut Coutois will feature in between the sticks for Real Madrid after he kept a clean sheet in his last outing. Dean Huijsen will operate alongside Eder Militao at the heart of Alonso's defence as they look to keep things solid at the back during the 90 minutes. Trent Alexander-Arnold will be named as the right-back while Alvaro Carreras hopes to impress on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to go forward and express themselves in the Osasuna half. David Alaba and Fran Garcia will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench. INNSBRUCK, AUSTRIA – AUGUST 12: Xabi Alonso, Head Coach of Real Madrid talks with his players during a drinks break during the pre-season friendly match between WSG Tirol and Real Madrid CF at Tivoli Stadion Tirol on August 12, 2025 in Innsbruck, Austria. (Photo by) Midfield Alonso could name a midfield three of Dani Ceballos, Aurelien Tchouameni and Arda Guler. The talented trio would have to retain possession well at the centre of the park and engineer some inviting chances for their teammates in the final third. Eduardo Camavinga is a major doubt for this game. Attack Vinicius Jr. will try to impress on the left flank while Brahim Diaz hopes to catch the eye as the right-sided wide player. Both of them would look to get in behind the opponent's backline at every chance they get. Kylian Mbappe will spearhead Real Madrid's attack in the final third. He would be eager to get his season off to a good start by finding the back of the net versus Osasuna this Tuesday night. Endrick will be in a race against time to be ready for this game. However, Rodrygo and Gonzalo Garcia will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the latter stages of the game if Los Blancos are in need of a goal by then.

Barcelona star hails Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso: ‘He might be the best'
Barcelona star Robert Lewandowski has this week revealed his appreciation for the managerial talents of new Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso. This comes amid suggestions that the Spaniard could ultimately go on to become one of world football's very best in his role. Alonso is for his part of course currently in the thick of preparations for his first league outing in the Real Madrid dugout. After a spectacular stint on the bench at German outfit Bayer Leverkusen, the former midfielder was quickly earmarked as the ideal replacement for Carlo Ancelotti at the Santiago Bernabéu this summer. Alonso has in turn been assigned the task of dethroning arch rivals Barcelona from their current perch atop the Spanish football pyramid. And as alluded to above, late this week, one of the Blaugrana's most high-profile stars has spoken out on the talents possessed by Real Madrid's new headmaster. Drawn on Alonso's name during an interview with , Robert Lewandowski revealed his take that: 'Xabi Alonso has a great future as a coach. Not only tactically, but also as a personality. In the future, he's going to be one of the best, maybe the best. He's a guy who can bring the best out of each player.' Conor Laird – GSFN
