Marcus Rashford has reportedly rekindled his relationship with childhood sweetheart Lucia Loi amid his switch to Spanish side Barcelona FC. Rashford's former fiancée, Loi, was present alongside the 27-year-old Englishman during the photoshoot ahead of his official announcement as a Barca player. The duo had reportedly broken their romance a couple of years ago, but with Loi being present at the player's confirmation as a Blaugrana player, on loan from Manchester United, has sparked rumours of a reignited flame. The English forward switched to Spanish champions Barcelona from Premier League side Manchester United on Wednesday on a loan deal. The clubs agreed on the loan until 30 June 2026. Rashford's position at United declined since December 2024, leading to a loan to fellow PL side Aston Villa for the latter half of the previous season. The Englishman scored 4 goals in 17 appearances for the Villans. Excluded from United's pre-season squad, Rashford was instructed to seek new opportunities.

Baseball: Kiyomiya triple shy of cycle as PL outslugs CL in Game 2
YOKOHAMA (Kyodo) -- Kotaro Kiyomiya finished a triple shy of the cycle with two RBIs as the Pacific League completed a two-game Japanese baseball All-Star series sweep of the Central League with a 10-7 victory Thursday. The Nippon Ham Fighters slugger hit a solo home run in the fourth inning as part of his 3-for-5 night at Yokohama Stadium. The PL improved its All-Star win-loss record to 93-81 with 11 ties. The PL scored three runs each in the first two innings and built a 9-1 lead through the middle of the fifth before the CL mounted a late comeback attempt. The CL's starting pitcher, Shoki Murakami of the Hanshin Tigers, gave up six runs in two innings, while the PL's starter, Tatsuya Imai of the Seibu Lions, allowed one unearned run in 1-1/2 innings. The regular season resumes Saturday for both leagues.
