'It's nice to see how the football world comes together in a time like this. The surgery went really well, I'm in good care, and I wanted to say there's no one to blame for this. Situations like these happen.'
Bayern Munich veteran Manuel Neuer had blamed Donnarumma following Musiala's injury, but the Italian goalkeeper reiterated that it was never his intention to hurt his opponent.

Braves' Matt Olson passes Pete Rose on incredible MLB record list
Braves' Matt Olson passes Pete Rose on incredible MLB record list originally appeared on The Sporting News Matt Olson is as reliable as they come. The Atlanta Braves' first baseman doesn't miss a day of work. Seriously. Tuesday night marks Olson's 746th consecutive game played. That moves him into 12th on the all-time MLB record list for consecutive games, breaking a tie with Pete Rose (745), according to MLB Network's Sarah Langs. MORE: Juan Soto, Josh Naylor and Cal Raleigh are making stolen bases cool again This is how the top-12 of that consecutive games played list looks: Cal Ripken Jr.: 2,632 Lou Gehrig: 2,130 Everett Scott: 1,307 Steve Garvey: 1,207 Miguel Tejada: 1,152 Billy Williams: 1,117 Joe Sewell: 1,103 Stan Musial: 895 Eddie Yost: 829 Gus Suhr: 822 Nellie Fox: 798 Matt Olson: 746 MLB's official social media account shared that Olson's streak is the fifth-longest in the expansion era, which began in 1961. Olson doesn't just play every day. He usually delivers. MORE: Phillies' pitcher Matt Strahm has the funniest reason for investing in Pokemon cards He has some of the most impressive natural power in the game, and he's a smooth defensive first baseman, too. If he carries this streak through next season, he'll rank eighth on the all-time list at the end of 2026. Even if it ends before then, it's already an impressive accomplishment. Very few players appear in every game of a single season, let alone a bunch of them in a row. Modern sport science is just fine with the occasional game off. Olson doesn't do that, though. He plays every day, and that means every single day.

Mbappé converts penalty kick as Real Madrid beats Osasuna 1-0 in Spanish league opener
MADRID (AP) — Kylian Mbappé got off to a scoring start in his second season with Real Madrid, leading the team to a 1-0 victory over Osasuna in their Spanish league opener Tuesday. Mbappé, the leading scorer in his debut with Madrid last season, converted a 51st-minute penalty kick to give the hosts the victory. A nice run by Mbappé through the right side of the area, followed by a neat cutback move, prompted the foul. The goal gave new coach Xabi Alonso a winning debut in his first full season with the club. The former Madrid player arrived before the Club World Cup to replace Carlo Ancelotti, who left to take the Brazil job. 'It was special to be back here as a coach, unforgettable,' Alonso said. 'Hopefully it was the first of many victories celebrated here.' Alonso started the match with three of the club's new signings for the season — left back Álvaro Carreras, right back Trent Alexander-Arnold and central defender Dean Huijsen. Teenage forward Franco Mastantuono came off the bench to replace Brahim Díaz in the 68th, being loudly cheered by the crowd at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Some fans had not been happy after the former River Plate player praised Lionel Messi — the fellow Argentine who was a star at rival Barcelona — during his introductory news conference. The 18-year-old Mastantuono had a chance to score in the 89th, but his shot from inside the area was saved by the Osasuna goalkeeper. 'They all did well,' Alonso said of the newcomers. 'They are players who will be helping us for years. None of them felt the pressure of the Madrid jersey or of the Bernabeu.' Osasuna defender Abel Bretones was sent off in stoppage time with a straight red card for a high arm to block Madrid forward Gonzalo García. 'They dominated, we knew it was going to be like that,' Osasuna midfielder Rubén García said. 'We played a good game but couldn't get too close to their goal. In the end, they deserved the victory.' Madrid forward Rodrygo stayed on the bench the whole match, intensifying speculation of a possible transfer. Alonso downplayed Rodrygo's lack of minutes, saying he still counts on the Brazil international for now. 'It was only a match,' he said. 'If in three months he still isn't getting these minutes, then it's different.' The game was played Tuesday instead of last weekend along with the rest of opening matches because Madrid's players needed more rest following the team's participation at the Club World Cup. Madrid's attempt to delay its debut even further was denied by the league. Madrid controlled possession — more than 70% — but struggled to break through the tight Osasuna defense early, threatening with a few long-range shots. 'There were positives, beginning with the result,' Alonso said. 'We still need a few things that will give us stability to keep progressing.' Mbappé, with the No. 10 jersey this season, had one of Madrid's best first-half chances with a curling shot from inside the area that just missed the top corner, but finally broke through with the winner early in the second half as Madrid continued to press forward. He sent a low shot from the spot into the right side of the net as the goalkeeper dived the other way. 'You can tell that Mbappé wants more,' Alonso said. Barcelona began its title defense with a comfortable 3-0 win at nine-man Mallorca on Saturday, while Atletico Madrid squandered a late lead in a 2-1 loss at Espanyol on Sunday. Madrid was runner-up to Barcelona in the Spanish league last season. Osasuna finished ninth. ___ AP soccer: Tales Azzoni, The Associated Press

Mainz make internal decision to part company with Nelson Weiper
Kicker reports that Mainz striker Nelson Weiper will not be traveling with his Bundesliga club to Norway this week to contest a Conference League playoff fixture. Already left out of Mainz's DFB Pokal squad yesterday due to issues stemming from a contractual dispute, signs are strongly pointing to a messy divorce. Kicker's Thiemo Müller further notes that Mainz are actively seeking a replacement for Weiper on the transfer market. Weiper has officially been demoted to the club reserves and will be remaining there until the transfer window closes on September 1st. In principle a lot could still happen between now and the close of the window. Should Mainz not be able to find a taker and procure a replacement for the 20-year-old, there could still be reconciliation. Müller nevertheless notes that Mainz have made an internal decision about the future of the talented Germany U21 international. A new striker could be unveiled very soon. Club management are working hard on bringing in a new forward. Müller leads his piece with the headline 'Tischtuch zerschnitten' ('tablecloth cut'). The German idiomatic expression refers to the archaic manner in which German divorces were once conducted. Separated spouses divided up one of the household's most prized possessions by snapping it in half. Mainz have decided they must sell Weiper this summer rather than risk losing him on a free in January. GGFN | Peter Weis
