Pogačar crashes and Abrahamsen wins stage in Tour de France
Pogačar, the three-time champion, crashed with 6 kilometers remaining. His rivals for the general classification slowed down so he could get back on his bike and rejoin them.
Abrahamsen finished just ahead of Swiss rider Mauro Schmid by a photo finish in a final sprint between the two after Belgian rider Mathieu van der Poel made a late push to catch them. It's the Norwegian rider's first stage win at the Tour and the first in this race for his team, Uno-X Mobility.
Van der Poel was 7 seconds behind in third, while the GC group including Pogačar and yellow jersey-holder Ben Healy finished 3:28 back.
Healy still leads by 29 seconds from Pogačar.

Journalist: Liverpool reach Alexander Isak AGREEMENT
Liverpool have reportedly reached an agreement as they push to sign Alexander Isak. The striker is their top target this summer. It's been an open secret that Liverpool hoped to sign Alexander Isak this summer. It was first reported back in January that they were looking at the Swede and links have gathered momentum ever since. LFC Kits Shop Now LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now Now things feel like they're getting close. Isak is no longer a part of Newcastle United's pre-season and is pushing for an exit from the club. Liverpool have made everyone perfectly aware that they're ready to do a deal, presumably for a British-record transfer fee. It's all about convincing both Isak and Newcastle that a deal should happen, though. And according to one journalist, the former is sealed. Liverpool agree terms with Alexander Isak Journalist Florian Plettenberg claims Liverpool have reached an agreement with Alexander Isak. It's 'only' verbal at this stage but the player has given his yes. "Understand: Alexander Isak has already reached a verbal agreement in principle with Liverpool over a contract running until 2031," Plettenberg writes on Twitter. "Isak wants to make the move to LFC as early as this transfer window. The clubs are in contact. His salary at Liverpool would be similar to that of Hugo Ekitike's." Now, it does seem a little strange that Liverpool would pay Isak the same as Ekitike. If only because Isak holds a much, much bigger reputation than Ekitike and would be a larger transfer.

Tottenham Hotspur Are Genuine Contenders For This Manchester United Winger: Good Choice For Frank?
In a recent report, former Premier League scout Mick Brown claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are genuine contenders for Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho this summer. It has been stated that Spurs are showing interest in recruiting the Argentina international in this transfer window. Garnacho's Impressive Numbers In English Football Last Season The 21-year-old put in a series of eye-catching displays for the Red Devils in the Premier League last season. Garnacho banged in 11 goals and grabbed ten assists in 58 matches for Man United in the previous campaign across all fronts. The Argentine wing wizard was not shy of having a strike at goal as he averaged 3.44 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League. He kept 34.5% of his attempts on target. Garnacho was even tidy when distributing possession in the final third based on his pass completion rate of 78.9% in top-flight football (stats via His current contract at the Mancunian club will expire in the summer of 2028. Hence, Tottenham would have to launch a convincing offer if they want to recruit the Argentine talent this off-season. MANCHESTER, ENGLAND – MAY 07: Alejandro Garnacho of Manchester United speaks to the media during a press conference ahead of the UEFA Europa League 2024/25 semi final second leg match between Manchester United and Athletic Club at Carrington Training Ground on May 07, 2025 in Manchester, England. (Photo by) Will Garnacho Be A Good Choice For Tottenham Hotspur Boss Thomas Frank? Garnacho has got the pace to cause a lot of headaches for his marker out in the wide areas. He can shoot the ball with power from long range and has got the eye to play some decisive passes on the offensive end of the field. The Argentine sensation is primarily a left-winger but can also play in the number ten position or as a right-sided wide player if required. He is already quite familiar with the Premier League and won't take much time to settle into life at the North London club. Garnacho would add a lot of pace and goals to Tottenham boss Thomas Frank's frontline. He is good enough to compete for a regular first-team spot at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next season. At 21, the future looks quite bright for Garnacho as long as he continues to improve with each year. He might help Tottenham challenge across all competitions in the coming years. Furthermore, Garnacho would have a great resale value in the future. Thus, he would be a good choice for Spurs to consider before the end of this transfer period.

🎥 Guendouzi struggles, Mourinho beats Sarri, Udinese v Pisa🚀 Today's friendlies⚔️
The pre-season is heating up, and after a couple of days of relative rest, today many teams are back on the field. Keeping up with all the commitments is not easy: that's why we have gathered in a single recap all the friendly matches played today by the Italian teams. 📺 Watch all the friendlies of Napoli LIVE on OneFootball! Click here from the app to purchase Napoli-Stade Brestois 29. ❌ Monaco vs TORINO 3-1 Torino falls in the third summer friendly, defeated 3-1 by Monaco on French soil. The "granata" had taken the lead with Gineitis through a nice action carried forward on the left, but Biereth's equalizer in the 16th minute immediately restored balance. Paleari stands out with some decisive interventions, but is tricked by a deflection from Casadei on Camara's shot. In the second half, a positive debut for Abouhklal, who came close to scoring on several occasions, before Golovin sealed the final 3-1. ✅ Strasbourg vs UDINESE 1-2 Udinese wins again in a friendly: 2-1 against Strasbourg, a French team expected in the Conference League playoffs. Despite Davis's absence due to a virus and with Runjaic replaced on the bench by deputy Malecki, the "bianconeri" lined up with a 4-4-2: Pafundi on the wing, Bayo and Brenner in attack. Immediate intensity and high pressing. Panichelli put Strasbourg ahead, but in the second half, Udinese turned everything around in a few minutes: Bayo's equalizer and Atta's overtaking goal assisted by Lovric. Good responses also from Sava and Zemura in a risk-free ending. ✅ Empoli vs PISA 2-3 The friendly at Castellani goes to Pisa: it ends 3-2 against a combative but still tuning Empoli. The "nerazzurri" started strong with goals from Akinsanmiro and Touré, but Shpendi – with a true striker's brace – brought Empoli back to parity. It was then Meister, with a great play, who decided the match in the second half. Pagliuca's team shows rhythm and determination, but also limits to correct, especially in the midfield and in the non-possession phase. Among the positive signs, the growing condition of Shpendi and the energy of Busiello. Ceesay's injury needs to be evaluated. ❌ Fenerbahce vs LAZIO 1-0 It could be described as a Sarri vs Mourinho on an international tone, and on the day when Fenerbahçe makes two major market moves, they also secure a narrow victory against Lazio. A match anything but friendly, especially for what happened at the end of a first half full of tension, protests, and often borderline interventions. Zaccagni lost his cool after a free kick was awarded for a push at the edge of the area, resulting in a yellow card. The match was decided by Kahveci's goal, which came from a mistake by Guendouzi: instead of finding a teammate, he passed it to En-Nesyri, who then served the winger and beat Mandas. A disappointing performance by the "biancocelesti," never truly dangerous and with only one message at the end of this match: there is a lot, a lot, a lot of work to be done.
