Uefa displays 'stop killing children' banner
Tala, who joined Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin for the medal ceremony after PSG beat Spurs on penalties, was described as a young girl "with fragile health", who had been transferred to Milan to receive appropriate medical care, with equipment lacking in Gaza since the start of the war. She was joined on the podium by Mohamed who lost both his parents during the war and was "severely injured following an air strike". Israel began its military offensive in Gaza after the Hamas-led attacks on Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.Israel's offensive has since killed nearly 62,000 Palestinians, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. It says that 235 people including 106 children have also died due to starvation and malnutrition.

Ellie Kildunne interview: Red Roses star is No 1 women's player on the planet and has an ever-growing profile... now she's ready for World Cup glory and to emulate Lionesses
There are many things in Ellie Kildunne's life that reflect the extraordinary growth of not only her own career, but also of women's rugby in England and female sport in general. She will start the Women's World Cup, which begins on Friday, as officially the best female player on the planet. She has signed sponsorship deals with Asahi, Canterbury and LG, among others, built her own fashion brand and posed for glossy front page magazine shoots. Kildunne, 25, also graduated from St Mary's University Twickenham with a 2:1 in sports and exercise science this summer while still in pre-season with England. But it was on a remote Italian mountain top a few months ago that the penny dropped for Kildunne as to how far she's come in the sport she loves. 'Life has changed and I do get recognised,' Kildunne told Daily Mail Sport as she prepares for a global glory bid as part of John Mitchell's Red Roses set-up. England star Ellie Kildunne will start next week's Women's World Cup as the game's No 1 star 'Sometimes, I don't actually believe it! I actually got recognised on holiday while I was in Italy. I was in a restaurant in the mountains and the waitress recognised me. 'I'm proud of that. It doesn't actually change anything. But it does make me think about how do I want people to remember me and what message do I want to send? 'Most of the time it's buy tickets to watch England at the World Cup because you're going to see something special! 'The more I do, it definitely comes with more pressure. 'I don't necessarily see that pressure in a bad way. But I do see it as my responsibility to always be myself. It's easy to just say things people want to hear. That's not me. 'I want to be authentic. That's what inspires people. I don't want to go on Google and see a ChatGPT-type answer next to my name. I want to be true to myself and if I say something, I'll believe it 100 per cent. I speak from the heart. 'That's normally the right thing to do.' Kildunne's ever-growing profile is set to go to another level entirely in the coming weeks. On Friday, she and England will begin their World Cup campaign against Ilona Maher's USA at Sunderland's Stadium of Light. England are firm favourites for the tournament. They are far and away the best team on the planet and have home advantage. In Kildunne, they also boast the current World Rugby women's player of the year. England haven't lost since they were beaten by New Zealand in the World Cup final of 2022. No-one should be able to stop them this time. Their last warm-up match saw them hammer France, one of the few teams normally capable of rivalling them. 'We all understand the pressure on us as a team,' full-back Kildunne said. 'But that's only there because we're brilliant and we've played and won under that pressure. 'We've had success. I'm proud to be in a position where people expect us to do well. 'First, it shows people care and second, it shows we've played well enough to have success and people are used to that. Pressure? What pressure? 'This is an opportunity to show what we're about and then exceed that. We want to go past what we've done before. I'm excited for the opportunity we've got to not just redefine women's rugby for the rest of our careers, but for the rest of our lives.' After English football's Lionesses claimed a second consecutive European Championship title in thrilling fashion this summer, their rugby compatriots are now hoping to follow suit with silverware of their own. Young footballers all over the country are now copying Chloe Kelly's iconic penalty routine or dreaming of being the next Leah Williamson or Alessia Russo. The RFU hopes England winning their own World Cup will have a similarly significant impact on women's rugby. In Kildunne, among others, they have fantastic players and models on which to market the female game. England should breeze past their Pool A opponents of USA, Samoa and Australia with the September 27 final at Twickenham the ultimate goal. 'It's a golden era of English women's sport and how great it is to be a part of that,' Kildunne said. 'We're massively proud of the Lionesses. The ripple effect they've had on women's football in England by being successful has been amazing. 'As soon as I saw the start of that, it was something I wanted to do in rugby. I want more people to be involved in rugby. I want young boys and girls to know there's an opportunity to play the game. 'Only a few years ago I remember I had a conversation with my agent and I said how I thought there should be more brand opportunities for women in sport. 'Now, brands are getting on board. I feel very privileged, proud and grateful to be in the position where I can get supported by people who want to grow women's rugby. Kildunne is a certain starter when England begin their World Cup bid against USA on Friday 'The more we can get these sort of brand deals, the more exposure we'll get and the greater that will benefit the women's game. It's now at a bigger stage than it ever has been before. But this is just the start. It's going to go on getting bigger. 'We've spoken about the journey to Everest and compared the World Cup to that. 'If you set off on a journey to Everest and try and do it in one go, you'll die. Simple as that. You've got to have different stops and hit base camps. That's what we've done. The Six Nations was a base camp. Our Everest summit is the World Cup final. 'This World Cup is going to be more than we could ever imagine. It's going to be the biggest stage of our career so far. We have things up our sleeve. I'm not going to say what they are. What I can say to opposition teams is be prepared to get better. 'We're not going to stop. We're playing for the opportunity to show the world how good we can be. People better get ready.'

Man City make early Premier League statement after Tottenham start in style
Three minutes later the Dutchman got his own goal with a fine finish, and the £34million arrival from Milan then set up Haaland's second just after the hour. Erling Haaland scored twice in Manchester City's 4-0 win at Wolves (Nick Potts/PA) Substitute Rayan Cherki, having replaced Haaland, marked his own Premier League debut with a goal in the 81st minute as Pep Guardiola's side, looking to bounce back from a disappointing campaign last season, got off to an excellent start. Richarlison netted a brace, including a superb scissor kick, and Brennan Johnson scored as Thomas Frank picked up a first league win in charge of Tottenham with a 3-0 victory over Burnley. Frank was without injured pair James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski, but Richarlison's double helped Spurs secure a first league win since April 6. Tottenham picked up a first Premier League win since the start of April (Adam Davy/PA) Newcastle missed the presence of wantaway Alexander Isak as they shared the spoils in a goalless draw with 10-man Aston Villa. The Magpies could have done with their star man as they failed to find a way past Villa, who had Ezri Konsa sent off in the 66th minute. Sunderland marked their return to the Premier League in style after they swept West Ham aside with a 3-0 win at the Stadium of Light. Sunderland made a winning return to the top flight (Owen Humphreys/PA) Following an eight-year absence from the league, the Black Cats went ahead just after the hour mark through Eliezer Mayenda before Dan Ballard's header doubled their advantage. Substitute Wilson Isidor came off the bench to wrap up three points in Sunderland's first Premier League appearance since May 2017. Rodrigo Muniz struck deep into stoppage time as Fulham snatched a 1-1 draw at Brighton. Albion had looked on course to make a winning start to the season when Matt O'Riley tucked home a 55th-minute penalty after Sander Berge brought down Georginio Rutter.

Revealed: 'The one Jadon Sancho demand holding up £20m Man United sale' despite the forward being frozen out by Ruben Amorim
Jadon Sancho 's hefty salary demands are holding up a potential move to Roma despite the club offering him an escape route from Manchester United, reports claim. According to the Italian media, via Football Italia, United have agreed to sell the outcast forward for €23million (£19.8m), but Sancho has not yet accepted personal terms as he would need to take a substantial pay cut. As first reported by Daily Mail Sport, Roma are the latest to discuss a potential loan and option to buy for the 25-year-old - but United only want a permanent sale. Sancho has been ostracised at United and is not part of Ruben Amorim 's plans. However, given Sancho's salary of £250,000-a-week, United would prefer to shift him off the books for good for a fee of between £20m and £25m. The big stumbling block appears to be his wage packet, worth around £13m-a-year. Roma are not able to extend to that figure and have therefore reportedly suggested Sancho sign a five-year deal in order to spread out his salary. It remains to be seen whether the winger accepts the proposal or holds out for an improved offer elsewhere, in the knowledge he has interest from other clubs. Sancho spent last season on loan at Chelsea, with whom he won the Conference League, but the club decided to pay a £5m fee to avoid turning the deal permanent. Reports in recent weeks have also linked Sancho with a third stint at Borussia Dortmund, suggesting he is prepared to cut his wages in half to facilitate a return. However, according to Sky Sports Germany, there are questions within the Dortmund camp surrounding re-signing Sancho - particularly given how both Chelsea and United have not chosen to feature him in their plans. The club are also said to be anxious regarding potential criticism of them going back to the well one too many times in bringing back the ace. Sancho signed for United from Dortmund in 2021 for £73m. He has one year remaining on his deal, although United have the option to extend it by a further year. During his time at Old Trafford, Sancho has made 83 appearances, while he has scored 12 goals and provided six assists.
