📸 Spectacular Bicycle Kick: Bundesliga Defender Scores a Dream Goal
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇩🇪 here.
Let's be honest from a neutral perspective: Freiburg against Bremen on a Friday evening isn't exactly a terrible match, but it's also not something you'd skip Grandma's 80th birthday for. However, the emphasis today is on "actually."
Freiburg's Kilian Sildillia wasn't in the mood for a lackluster game with ordinary goals this evening.
So, after a corner from Grifo, the Freiburg full-back decided to go for a bicycle kick and sent the ball past Zetterer into the net, unstoppable.As if that wasn't enough, Grifo himself increased the lead to 2-0 with a stunning direct free kick after about 30 minutes. What goals!
Anyone who skipped Grandma's 80th to watch Freiburg against Werder can only be pleased. Let's see if the match has more highlights to offer.

Gerhard Struber set to be named Bristol City manager
Bristol City are set to name Gerhard Struber as the team's new manager according to reports. Journalist John Percy of Telegraph Sport is reporting that the Robins will hire the Austrian ahead of alternative candidate Rob Edwards. Advertisement City finished sixth in the Championship last season before losing in their play-off semi-final to Sheffield United with manager Liam Manning leaving to join Norwich City. Struber's first job in English football was with Barnsley when he helped the Tykes avoid relegation in the 2019/20 season. After leaving Barnsley, Struber took charge of New York Red Bulls and Red Bull Salzburg before joining 1. FC Köln for the 2024/25 season. Despite helping Köln earn promotion to the Bundesliga, Struber was sacked with two games left to play with his team second in the league. Die Geißböcke eventually won the 2. Bundesliga after Friedhelm Funkel guided the team to two victories in their final two games.

Liverpool agree deal with Bournemouth over exciting full-back
Liverpool Agree Deal for Milos Kerkez in Strategic Left-Back Move Young full-back identified as long-term solution Liverpool appear to have taken a significant step forward in their summer recruitment strategy, with reports indicating that the club have agreed a deal to sign Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth. Advertisement The 21-year-old left-back, who made a notable impact in his debut Premier League season, has reportedly committed to a long-term contract at Anfield. According to journalist Nicolo Schira, 'Done Deal and confirmed! Milos Kerkez to Liverpool from Bournemouth. Contract until 2030.' If confirmed, this would mark a key addition to Arne Slot's defensive unit as he prepares for his first season in charge. Slot seeks depth and dynamism at left-back Kerkez is viewed as a modern full-back – aggressive going forward, quick in recovery, and composed under pressure. His time at Bournemouth highlighted those traits, and Liverpool's interest has been consistent throughout the summer window. Advertisement The need for reinforcement in that area has been clear. Andy Robertson remains a vital figure, but his absence through injury last season exposed the lack of a reliable alternative. While Kostas Tsimikas provided cover, the opportunity to bring in a younger, high-potential left-back was seen as a key priority by the new coaching setup. Photo: IMAGO Kerkez, who developed in AC Milan's academy before flourishing at AZ Alkmaar, has already demonstrated his ability to adapt to top-level football. His Premier League displays have made him a standout, drawing attention not just from Liverpool but also other elite clubs across Europe. Photo: IMAGO Liverpool beat competition to land Hungary international One of the most notable details in this developing story is that Liverpool appear to have fought off strong competition. As Schira reported, 'Kerkez has turned down three other bids to join LFC.' Advertisement While those clubs have not been officially confirmed, it is understood that Manchester City and others from Europe's top five leagues were monitoring the Hungarian international. The choice to commit to Liverpool, particularly during a time of managerial transition, underlines both the club's pulling power and the player's ambition. A contract running until 2030 further signals Liverpool's faith in Kerkez as a long-term piece of the puzzle, and his profile fits perfectly with the high-intensity style Slot is expected to implement. Smart investment with long-term upside Liverpool are making a statement early in the window. With the squad set for a fresh tactical evolution under new leadership, the deal for Kerkez ticks many boxes – young, proven in the Premier League, and keen to take the next step. The Hungarian international has shown he can handle the demands of English football. Now, it appears he will be given the opportunity to develop at one of Europe's most competitive clubs. If this reported deal is officially confirmed, Kerkez could be one of the most important pieces of Liverpool's summer rebuild.

Lions rugby squad nearly at full strength ahead of tour opener against Argentina
Associated Press The British & Irish Lions reported a clean bill of health after returning from their training camp in Portugal, with 15 players who featured in domestic finals at the weekend joining up with the squad Monday ahead of the tour opener against Argentina. It meant only one selected player — Scotland fullback Blair Kinghorn — was yet to link up with the Lions squad. Kinghorn remains on club duty with Toulouse, which is competing in the Top 14 semifinals in the France league on Friday, and could be away for a further week if his team reaches the final. Otherwise, Lions coach Andy Farrell appears to be in a strong position at the end of the club season in Britain and Ireland, with his contingent of players from English teams Bath and Leicester — who met in the Premiership final on Saturday — and Irish province Leinster — who won the URC final on Saturday — seemingly in healthy enough shape. Three Leinster players — scrumhalf Jamison Gibson-Park, prop Tadhg Furlong and fullback Hugo Keenan — didn't play in the 32-7 win over the Bulls but were still in line to join up with the Lions. The returning 15 will take part in their first training session with the Lions on Tuesday, the team said. If any of those players do feature against Argentina in Dublin on Friday, their involvement will likely be limited. Because of the reduced number of players at the six-day training camp in Quinta do Lago, Farrell called up England front-rowers Jamie George and Asher Opoku-Fordjour to help with practice sessions. They will train for the last time Monday before returning to their clubs, the Lions said. After the Argentina game, the Lions will fly Down Under for a nine-match tour of Australia containing three tests against the Wallabies. ___ AP soccer:
