🎥 OTD: Bayern's historic UCL rout of Barcelona 😳
Bayern Munich have dished out plenty of beatings on Barcelona over the years, but on this day in 2013 they made a bit of Champions League history with their rout at the Nou Camp.
Having dismantled the LaLiga giants 4-0 in Munich, Jupp Heynckes' men dispelled any hopes of a comeback with a rampant 3-0 win. All the goals came in the second half with Arjen Robben and Thomas Müller's strikes coming either side of a Gerard Piqué own goal.
The 7-0 aggregate win is the biggest semi-final win in the post-1992 Champions League era, and only topped once ever over the 70 years of the competition's history.

Bayern went onto win the famous trophy at Wembley, with Robben scoring a late winner in an all-German affair with Borussia Dortmund, which numbed the pain of their final loss a year before and completed a stunning treble.

She reached the French Open semi-finals at 14, was arrested on shoplifting and marijuana charges later in her teens, and returned to tennis and won three grand slams. , 5:D - England are playing twice in the next week: against Andorra in Spain and against Senegal in a friendly at the City Ground in Nottingham., 6:D - 'I have done pre-season in Orlando and I will be very surprised if we do not suffer,' said Tuchel.

They lost to Wigan in last year's final and are underdogs against Hull KR this time around. , 12:C - The draw for the race took place at a Picturehouse cinema in Epsom and featured the balls and velvet bag used in FA Cup draws. It was a step up from last year, when they used hand-scrawled ping-pong balls and held the draw outside the local Wetherspoons. , 13:C - The Earl of Derby and Sir Charles Bunbury both helped establish the race. They supposedly flipped a coin to determine whether it would be named 'Derby Stakes' or 'Bunbury Stakes.' Although Bunbury lost the coin toss, Newmarket later featured his name in the 'Bunbury Cup'., 14:B - Boxing has lost one of its greats. , 15:B - Taxi drivers in Rome did not welcome the comparison.

Olympic stars leave legacy in home towns after record-breaking Paris 2024 Games
The Paris 2024 legacy is already making a positive impact on local sport, thanks to the £100,000 Olympic Medallist Fund. Six athletes from Northern Ireland, representing both Team Ireland and Team GB, made history by winning an unprecedented seven medals at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The medal haul included four golds, one silver, and two bronze in Swimming, Rowing, and Gymnastics. Advertisement The Olympic Medallist Fund, administered by Sport NI and made possible through funding from the Department for Communities, was divided among the medallists, with a club or organisation close to their heart to receive an extra funding boost. Each gold medal earned £20,000, silver medals received £10,000, and bronze medallists were awarded £5,000.

Advertisement Olympic medallists Daniel Wiffen (St Patrick's Grammar School), Rhys McClenaghan (Origin Gymnastics), Hannah Scott (Bann Rowing Club), Jack McMillan (Bangor Swimming Club), Rebecca Shorten (Methodist College Belfast Rowing Club), and Philip Doyle (Belfast Boat Club) have each chosen a club or organisation to benefit from a share of the fund. Minister Lyons expressed his pride, stating: "As Sports Minister it was a real privilege to cheer on our local athletes at last year's Paris Olympics. The incredible success of Daniel Wiffen, Rhys McClenaghan, Hannah Scott, Jack Milligan, Rebecca Shorten and Philip Doyle put Northern Ireland on the global stage. "For a small nation, our athletes consistently punch above their weight, thanks to their dedication and sacrifices, and the unwavering support of coaches, school staff, families, and support teams. "Through the Olympic Medallist Fund, these sporting heroes can give back to their communities and sports, creating pathways for greater participation and inspiring our future medallists. This also aligns with the goal of Active Living – Sport and Physical Activity Strategy for Northern Ireland to have 'More People More Active More Often'. Advertisement "It's been inspiring to see the impact of this funding at Rhys McClenaghan's Origin Gymnastics facility, which I'm confident will nurture our next future champion." Sport NI Interim CEO Richard Archibald commented: "The six clubs and organisations chosen by our medallists were instrumental in their journey to the podium in Paris. With their support, equipment, time and expertise, they grew a love of sport within each of these athletes which turned into an Olympic medal years later. "Our Paris medallists are an inspiration to young people within their communities and thanks to the Olympic Medallist Fund these organisations can now support other young people to achieve their potential in sport and hopefully follow in these medallists' footsteps." Bangor Swimming Club has been bestowed with new training and competition gear, while St Patricks Grammar School's gym for pupils has seen expansion. Methodist College Belfast Rowing Club is now equipped to propel an elite junior sculler onto the international stage with a top-tier single scull boat, Bann Rowing Club has improved their fleet with carbon fibre single sculls and oars, and Belfast Boat Club has invested in new fitness equipment including support seats, enhancing accessibility to rowing for those with disabilities. Advertisement Olympic gold medallist Rhys McClenaghan from Newtownards has directed a £20,000 grant to Origin Gymnastics in his hometown, which will vastly improve the equipment available to budding gymnasts. Rhys remarked: "I feel like this grant gave me the responsibility to leave a legacy after my Olympic win. I couldn't think of a better way to leave a legacy than to donate the money to the fastest growing gymnastics club in the country, Origin Gymnastics. This will hopefully allow young gymnasts to follow in my foot steps and give them opportunities and equipment that I didn't have growing up in this sport. Origin offers a sense of community in my home town of Newtownards and gives everybody in the local area a true love for the sport of gymnastics." Luke Carson, CEO & Founder of Origin Gymnastics, shared his pride in local hero Rhys's personal journey which has greatly impacted the community. He asserted: "Rhys has always been a shining example for our local community-his journey is a testament to the power of dedication, resilience, and chasing your dreams. I was genuinely honoured when he chose Origin as the recipient of this funding. As a new gymnastics club in the heart of Ards, we're passionate about showing why gymnastics is a sport every child should have the chance to experience. This funding has enabled us to invest in new equipment, helping us raise the bar even further in what we can offer to our members."

El Chadaille Bitshiabu extends RB Leipzig contract
RB Leipzig officially confirmed French centre-back El Chadaille Bitshiabu's reported upon contract extension on Friday. The 20-year-old's new deal with his Bundesliga club runs through 2029. When fit, Bitshiabu served as one of the brighter spots in this year's highly disappointing season for the German Red Bulls. Leipzig continue to shed players and remain on the hunt for a head coach to lead the team in their first Europe-less season since achieving promotion to the German top flight. There remains no news on the matter, though RB did confirm the termination of failed academy director Manuel Baum on Friday. Advertisement News that the famous former Augsburg and Schalke 04 head coach would depart after two years overseeing a failed developmental program was immediately followed up by the Bitshiabu announcement. 'We are delighted to have extended Chad's contract early,' RB sporting director Marcel Schäfer noted in a club statement. 'He is one of the most talented defenders in the Bundesliga. Chad has developed tremendously over the past season, making great progress in all areas and fully deserving this extension. He is still far from reaching his full potential and will take his game to the next level with us in the coming years.' 'I am very happy to have extended my contract with this fantastic club,' the player himself added. 'RB Leipzig provides me with the perfect environment to develop both as a player and as a person. When I joined in 2023, I immediately felt how much the club believes in me. Even in the most difficult phases, the club management placed their full trust in me. I feel very comfortable here and I am far from finished.' GGFN | Peter Weis
