🏆 Who's going up to La Liga? Elche, Oviedo and Mirandés in the mix today
🏆 Who's going up to La Liga? Elche, Oviedo and Mirandés in the mix today Fans don't call it the Hypertension League for nothing... Today, the Hypermotion League, the second division of Spanish football, puts the last direct promotion spot up for grabs. Starting at 18:30, there will be a unified matchday in what promises to be an electrifying round. Advertisement Elche is the clear favorite in this battle, but Real Oviedo and Mirandés also have their chances if the Franjiverdes slip up. Let's review the options for the three clubs hoping to reach the top division today: What does Elche need? If they win at Riazor against Deportivo La Coruña, they are promoted. If they draw, Sarabia's side must hope that Mirandés doesn't win, because the head-to-head favors the team from Anduva. A three-way tie on points also favors Elche. If they lose, Oviedo and Mirandés must also lose. What do Real Oviedo and Mirandés need? The Carbayón side only has one scenario: beat Cádiz at the Tartiere and hope Elche loses at Riazor. Advertisement Mirandés needs to win at Cartagonova and for both Elche and Oviedo to either draw or lose. The last two playoff spots up for grabs Three teams in contention, but only two spots available. One of those two spots will come from the Racing de Santander-Granada match. Granada must win, but Racing only needs a draw to qualify, and could even make it through with a loss as long as Almería doesn't beat Tenerife. Almería's situation is clear: a win against relegated Tenerife puts them in the promotion playoffs. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Pablo Sarabia To Depart Wolves, Jeffrey Schlupp Set For Crystal Palace Exit
Last Updated: The 33-year-old Spaniard, Sarabia, joined the PL outfit from PSG in January 2023, and went on to play 77 times for the club after being brought in by former boss Julen Lopetegui.

The 33-year-old, who joined the PL outfit from PSG in January 2023, went on to play 77 times for the club after being brought in by former boss Julen Lopetegui. 'I was very, very happy there, with my family and everyone at Wolves. Everyone tried to help me and my family, and for me, that's the most important thing in life," the Spaniard said. 'I have very good memories of Wolves in terms of quality of life, in terms of playing with the supporters, every single game I felt them in the stadium, and because of this, I just want to say thanks for everything," he added. 'My balance in my life is to help everyone, and because of this, I found a very good family, a very good team, and very good people at Wolves. I'm going to miss everything because I have friends at the club, every single teammate, the staff and the people who, for example, work in the gym, the physios, Lisa Hollis, everyone there – I'll miss it," Sarabia reminisced. 'It was a very difficult situation at the beginning of the Lopetegui era, but we achieved our aim not to be relegated. The 19th spot in the Premier League was a very, very hard situation, but with Lopetegui, my teammates, and everybody, we achieved our aim, and I was very happy for them," the Spaniard added. 'I have a lot of good memories from the beginning. For the supporters, they were a very hard moment, but we lived it together, and it is the most important thing. It doesn't matter if our spot was 19th, 18th or 8th. For me, the support was always very good in every single situation, and we needed it all the time," he reflected. 'When we were living a very hard situation, for example, at the beginning of this season, the support was always behind us, and because of this they are number 12 [the 12th man], and it's one of the most important things at Wolves, their support," he added. Jeffrey Schlupp brought an end to an eight-and-a-half-year stint at Crystal Palace as he announced his exit from the London club on Wednesday following the club historic FA Cup victory! The 32-year-old made 247 appearances for the club since joining the London side from Leicester City in January 2017, netting 19 times while also providing 17 assists for the Eagles. Schlupp, who made 16 appearances for Palace this season, spent the latter part of of the campaign at Celtic on loan , where he went on to win the Scottish Premiership title. 'It's been an incredible eight years playing for this club. I've met some great people – the Chairman, the gaffer, and all the staff I've met over the years – and it's meant a lot to have played for Crystal Palace. A big 'thank you' to this group, who have achieved something so special. 'You ask anybody about the Palace fans, and they know about the atmosphere that they create, and the number of times they've pulled us through in difficult times. They've been our 12th man, so thank you to all the fans who have always supported me. Hopefully, I've done you proud. I'll definitely see you again soon," said Schlupp. Club Chairman Steve Parish lauded the professionalism of the Ghanaian statin, 'Across nine separate seasons with Crystal Palace, Jeffrey has made many an important contribution to the Football Club – and scored some incredible goals." 'Whatever has been asked of him – whatever the role, whenever the time–he has given his utmost to, and it speaks volumes that he has made such a great impression in different systems and under different managers," Parish continued. 'Successful squads are built on players of Jeffrey's calibre and character, and we have much to thank him for as he moves on from SE25. He leaves with our heartfelt gratitude and the very best wishes of everyone at Crystal Palace," he added. (With Inputs Form IANS) First Published:

Catholics across the DMV share expectations for new American pope
WASHINGTON () — The Catholic world is abuzz with the historic election of Pope Leo XIV, the first American as the papacy. For many Catholics in the nation's capital, the news came as both a surprise and a source of pride. At the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, many gathered to reflect on the significance of the moment. 'My manager asked me, 'hey, do you think we'll get an American pope anytime soon.' I was like, no, I don't think so. I think that America's influence is too, too powerful that they probably won't ever have that overlap,' said Austin Sarabia. Pope Leo XIV celebrates first Mass, calls his election both a cross and a blessing Robert Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, is a Chicago native. He is known for his longstanding service to the church and his work in philanthropy. Prevost becoming the new pope is being met with optimism by many, who see him as a thoughtful and balanced leader. 'He seems well-read, a solid theologian,' said Sarabia. 'He seems like he would be between Benedict and a Francis. I think that would be a positive thing for the church.' For some, the pope's American roots make his leadership feel more relatable. 'I'm really excited he's from Chicago,' said Aiden Camba. 'My dad's a huge Bears fan, and I think it's cool he was so close to Pope Francis, like his second-in-command.' 'A son of Chicago:' High School where Pope Leo once taught celebrates history Still, excitement is tempered with hope for meaningful change within the Catholic Church. 'What I want most is clarity,' said Sarabia. 'He speaks English, so I think that could help connect with people here in a new way.' 'I just want to see the Catholic community grow,' added another. Pope Leo XIV becomes the 267th pope in Catholic history, ushering in a new chapter, not only for American Catholics but for the global Church. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Stunning twist as world leader who trashed Trump over visa refusal sparks major rift in home country
Colombia's top diplomat was blindsided by President Gustavo Petro's claims he was barred from entering the United States, despite the country's Finance Minister being sent as his proxy to Washington DC this week. Foreign Relations Minister Laura Sarabia was reportedly 'shocked' that Petro had his travel visa revoked by the Trump administration, Colombian broadcaster La FM radio revealed Tuesday. The fracture between the leftist president and his top cabinet member over his visa status comes mere weeks after Sarabia met with the US's Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in Bogata for high level talks on immigration. Petro, who once formed parted of the 19th of April Movement guerrilla group, stunned the South American nation during a meeting with the Council of Ministers on Monday trashing 'Donald Duck' for revoking his visa to travel to the US. He said Finance Minister Germán Avila would take his place at meetings of the spring meetings for of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, where Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent berated the organizations for vanity projects like climate change. Avila, another former member of the 19th of April Movement, is expected to attend a meeting for Latin America's finance ministers and central bank governors at the IMF headquarters on Friday, April 26. 'I can't go anymore because I think they've revoked my visa,' Petro said this week. 'I didn't need a visa, but hey, I've seen Donald Duck several times. So, I'm off to see other things.' Sarabia did not publicly comment on the Petro's visa issues when she spoke before the Security Council at the United Stations on Tuesday. Avila also has not responded to the president's claims. reached out to the Foreign Relations Ministry and the President's office for comment. In a statement to on Wednesday, the The U.S. Western Hemisphere Affairs said that 'visa records are confidential under U.S. law; therefore, we cannot discuss the details of individual visa cases.' Department of State spokesperson Tammy Bruce declined to get into the specifics of Petro's claims during Tuesday's press briefing. 'Of course, we don't speak about direct individual visa issues. We – visa records are confidential for everyone. But we are aware of the reports; we're aware of what he said,' said Bruce, while highlighting both countries' efforts to combat drug trafficking and boost each others economies. In the event that Petro's visa was cancelled, the Department of State would have formally communicated its decision. However, sources with knowledge of Petro's marks told La FM that the Department of State never did so. The last Colombian President who had his United States travel visa revoked was Ernesto Samper in July 1996. Samper, who ruled from 1994 to 1998, was accused of accepting at least $6 million from drug cartels to fund his campaign. A Colombian Red Cross worker speaks with a Colombian migrant, who was among the 201 who were deported from the United States, upon arrival at El Dorado International Airport in Bogotá, the capital city of Colombia, on January 28 Petro previously visited the United States in September 2024 for a climate conference in Chicago, as well as the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Petro has clashed with the Trump, who threatened 'decisive retaliatory measures' against government officials over Petro's refusal to let two United States military flights full of migrants land in January. The Colombian leader slammed the Trump administration for the treatment of 160 people, who were handcuffed on the planes Trump snapped back by threatening to impose a 25 percent tariff on incoming good and visa restrictions and sanctions and vowed to increase the tax by an additional 25 percent. Petro responded by announcing U.S. imports would be face a 25 percent tax before he eventually backed down and agreed to accept the migrants.
