PSG fined €148k by UEFA for fan misconduct in Champions League final

The Sun4 days ago
PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN (PSG) have been fined €148,000 by UEFA following fan misconduct during their Champions League final victory against Inter Milan in May. The European governing body confirmed the penalties on Thursday, citing multiple violations by supporters.
The French club, which dominated Inter 5-0 at Munich's Allianz Arena, faced charges including a pitch invasion, fireworks, object-throwing, property damage, and the display of an inappropriate message. Thousands of PSG fans stormed the field after the final whistle, celebrating their first-ever Champions League title. Stewards struggled to contain the surge of supporters, particularly from behind the goal areas.
UEFA's Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body imposed the fines, with the heaviest penalties linked to the pitch invasion and pyrotechnic use. Additionally, PSG received a one-match ban on away ticket sales, suspended for two years. - Reuters

French woman found dead after disappearing during solo run near Angkor Wat

BANGKOK: French woman Lisa Girard has been found dead after disappearing during a solo run near Angkor Wat. She was last seen at Ta Som temple on Aug 2. Lisa Girard, a French national, was reported missing while running near Angkor Wat in Cambodia's Siem Reap province. Her friend said she was last seen at Ta Som temple around 7.20am on Aug 2 and had not been seen since. It was reported that she had been running alone on a 21-kilometre route. Two Cambodian Facebook users posted sightings of Lisa on the morning of her disappearance. One said, 'She ran past my coffee shop near Srah Srang lake at around 7am.' Another claimed, 'This morning (Aug2), I saw her running near the ticket booth on the old Route 60, heading towards the roundabout at around 7.50am.' Two days later, at 8.50am on Aug 4, Lisa's friend posted an update saying she was still missing and appealed for help in the search, particularly from drone operators. Later, Cambodian police confirmed that Lisa Zihar's body had been found in a rural area outside Siem Reap city. A friend, who has been organising the search for Lisa, stated on social media at 12.55pm that 'Lisa's body was found this morning. Thanks for the support of all those who have been looking for her or offering help.' Cambodian police are investigating the cause of her death. Lisa had arrived in Cambodia in 2024 after hitchhiking over four months from Paris to Phnom Penh, passing through 15 countries. Along the way, she raised funds for the Cambodian NGO Pour un Sourire d'Enfant. - The Nation/ANN

Rugby-Former All Blacks winger Bridge signs with Western Force

MELBOURNE (Reuters) -Former New Zealand winger George Bridge has signed a two-year deal with Western Force and will return to Super Rugby next season, ending a three-year stint in French rugby. Bridge scored 12 tries in 19 tests for the All Blacks and played in the 2019 World Cup in Japan before heading abroad to play for Top 14 side Montpellier in 2022. The 30-year-old will replace Wallabies winger Harry Potter who left the Perth-based Force to join the New South Wales Waratahs. Bridge, who can also play fullback, was part of Scott Robertson's powerful Canterbury Crusaders from 2017-22, helping the South Island team win four Super Rugby titles and the domestic Super Rugby Aotearoa championship twice. "George is well known to a number of people on our staff and they can't speak highly enough of his professionalism, approach to the game and his rugby knowledge," Force coach Simon Cron said in a statement on Tuesday. "He's got a massive left foot kick. He can play multiple positions. He's a brilliant player. An amazing talent. He'll add to the guys that we have in the squad." The Force, who have never made the playoffs in any variant of Super Rugby since joining in 2006, managed only four wins last season and finished ninth in the 11-team competition. Bridge's former team, the Crusaders, won a record-extending 15th Super Rugby title. (Reporting by Ian Ransom in Melbourne; Editing by Christopher Cushing)
