🎥 On the loo for the Henkelpott: why TikTokers spent 27 hours on the toilet
Quit your job, trade in your car, skip your own wedding - for a ticket to the Champions League final, many fans would sacrifice just about anything.
Two TikTok influencers from Belgium took it to the extreme this year, venturing into not entirely legal territory. Neal Remmerie and Senne Haverbeke donned yellow safety vests 27 hours before the final in Munich, made their way onto the stadium grounds, and hid out in a stadium restroom.

The duo revealed as much to Belgian news outlet 'VRT News'. To make their hiding spot even more secure, they stuck "out of order" signs on the toilet doors.

But the overnight stay wasn't quite as relaxed as it seemed, according to Remmerie: "We had a backpack with snacks and played on our phones to pass the time. The lights were on the whole time and the seating position was uncomfortable, so it was almost impossible to sleep. That made it physically and mentally tough."
Incidentally, they also filmed the whole thing and documented it on TikTok:
At least the hardships seemed worth it for the two Belgians: after the stadium gates opened, they managed to sneak into the block with the PSG fans. It was the best game they'd ever seen, they told 'VRT News'.

UEFA and the Allianz Arena's stadium operator have yet to comment on the incident in response to inquiries from the 'BBC'. It remains to be seen whether the two Belgians will face any official consequences.

Millennials Are Confessing The Most YOLO Things They've Done Recently, And I Kind Of Feel Bad For Them
If the Gen-Zs have DIFTP (Do It For The Plot), then millennials have yolo: You Only Live Once. According to the Urban Dictionary, "It practically makes you believe you can do ANYTHING," a user wrote. For any dear readers who WEREN'T in the know circa 2011-2013, it's the mantra you say to yourself to self-soothe when you send that risky text, book a tropical vacation on credit, or order a round of shots when you know you have brunch with your boyfriend's parents the next day. It's the headspace of: not exactly responsible — but hey, here for a good time, not a long time. So, in honor of #YOLO, someone in the r/Millennials subreddit recently asked, "Is the millennial 'yolo' movement still alive? What's the most irresponsible thing you've done lately, financially or otherwise?" Here's what people had to say: 1."A girl I was messaging on a dating app asked me to go out with her at like 10 p.m. on a Wednesday. She was already out.

A strategy for pacing out your bets on Belmont Stakes day
It's a cliché, but betting — especially on Belmont Stakes day — is a marathon, not a sprint. Becoming a profitable handicapper is not just about picking winners and finding an edge. A pillar of success in betting is managing two things — your bankroll and your emotions. We'll start with bankroll management. Your bankroll refers to the amount of money you have allocated for betting. In other words, the amount of money you would be comfortable losing. For some people, that number could be high. For others, it could be quite low. Bet with your head, not over it. When it comes to a day such as the Belmont Stakes, bankroll management becomes even more important because, in all likelihood, you're going to want to have some scratch in your pocket to bet the headliner at 7:04 p.m. That means you're going to essentially have two separate pools of money: one for the Belmont Stakes and one for the undercard, which gets underway at 10:45 a.m. and features seven other stakes races. It's a magnificent day for railbirds, but it can get spoiled quickly if you're not in control of your impulses. And what makes this day of racing especially tricky for those who may struggle with keeping their emotions in check when it comes to betting is that there is a really tempting 'chase' opportunity in the Belmont Stakes. The 2025 Belmont is headlined by two clear favorites, No. 7 Journalism (8-5) and No. 2 Sovereignty (2-1). Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty gets a bath on June 6, 2025 in preparation for Saturday's Belmont Stakes. Getty Images There will be plenty of casual punters who will plan on ending their day with a big bet on one or both of these horses. If you've been betting long enough, you know this feeling. Perhaps it was on Day 1 of March Madness or the first Saturday of the college football season, but we've all dealt with the temptation of chasing a day of losses with one final bet on a 'sure thing' late in the night (it's why Hawaii football games attract an unusually large number of bets during the fall). Nobody wants to be lectured about betting, or see someone get on their soapbox, but any seasoned gambler will say that resisting the urge to chase their losses was a huge step in the right direction. For the purposes of using a round number, let's say you have a bankroll of $200 for Saturday. Immediately, you should decide how much of that you want to leave for the Belmont Stakes. Mike Repoli is the owner of Uncaged who is running in Saturday's Belmont Stakes. Jason Szenes / New York Post Sticking with the round numbers, we'll put $20 aside for the Belmont (along with stashing away any profits from earlier wins), allowing us $180 to gamble with on the full menu of races leading up to the main event. But there's also a chance you're going to want to be a part of the Mandatory Payout Pick 5, which begins with the Jaipur (Race 9, 4:08 p.m.) and wraps up with the Belmont Stakes. By entering the Pick 5, you not only give yourself a shot at a life-changing amount of money, but you'll also have action on each race, so long as you're still in it, without having to bet anymore. We can put $54 aside for the Pick 5, which allows you plenty of room to build a decent ticket, and leaves you with $126 to bet on the rest of the races. It's not the most exciting part of the game, but mapping out a strategy like this before you enter the gates Saturday will go a long way in helping you walk out feeling like a winner.

Kylian Mbappe ‘happy' that PSG won the Champions League: ‘There's no bitterness'
Kylian Mbappe said he has no 'regrets' or 'bitterness' over Paris Saint-Germain winning the Champions League less than a year after he departed the club for Real Madrid. Mbappe won six Ligue 1 titles in a seven-year spell with PSG but has never lifted the Champions League. Upon his move to the Bernabeu in June 2024, the France striker joined the European title holders and 15-time winners of the competition, but they were knocked out in the quarter-finals via a 5-1 aggregate defeat to Arsenal. Advertisement PSG, meanwhile, beat Inter Milan by a record 5-0 margin in the Champions League final in Munich earlier this month to lift the trophy for the first time in the club's history. 'I didn't leave too soon,' Mbappe said at a news conference on Saturday ahead of France's Nations League third-place match against Germany, via L'Equipe. 'My story with PSG was over. There's no bitterness, no regrets. It's destiny. I would have tried everything, it had to happen without me.' Mbappe started in PSG's 1-0 Champions League final loss against Bayern Munich in 2020, and the Parisians reached the semi-final of the tournament a year later, where they were beaten by Manchester City. PSG then suffered back-to-back round-of-16 exits before a semi-final defeat by Borussia Dortmund in Mbappe's final season at the club. 'I was happy, they deserved it, they've been through so many problems, I've been through that too,' Mbappe said, via Reuters. 'I've been through every stage of the Champions League except winning it. 'They were the best team in Europe. I can't remember ever seeing them go 5-0 up. It's 100 per cent deserved, they're becoming the team everyone wants to beat.' Mbappe's first season in Spain ended trophyless after Madrid were beaten by Clasico rivals Barcelona to the title in La Liga and the Copa del Rey. Mbappe said he is 'in the eye of the storm' following PSG's Champions League victory but added he has 'always liked being in these positions'. 'It's up to me to work,' he added. 'I've reversed quite a few trends in my career, I've had a lot of things stuck on my back and I've managed to get them off.' Mbappe's France face Germany in the third-place Nations League decider on Sunday (2pm BST, 9am ET), after the 26-year-old netted a penalty in his side's 5-4 semi-final defeat by Spain on Thursday.
