Panthers QB Bryce Young gives his thoughts on the selection of WR Tetairoa McMillan
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young certainly seems to be jamming with his organization's latest first-round pick. Young got the chance to chat with reporters on Tuesday, following the very first session of team organized activities. He, unsurprisingly, was asked about wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan—who could be his new No. 1 target moving forward. Advertisement "I've seen him, I've played against him in high school, I've seen him and followed his career ever since high school," Young stated. "So I've always, whether it was playing against him or from afar, that was someone I always had a ton of respect for. I loved his game, I've been around him before that too, heard great things, loved his work ethic, had seen him live." The Panthers nabbed McMillan with the eighth overall selection of the 2025 NFL draft back in April. Shortly after that choice, the 6-foot-4 All-American pass catcher revealed that he had actually trained with Young in their home state of California prior to the draft. McMillan also claimed that Young "stood on the table" for him when it came to Carolina making their pick. So, did he? "I trust in Coach [Dave] Canales and Dan [Morgan] on the decision. They were gonna do what's best for the team," Young later added. "They obviously felt that's what was best. Obviously, to me, it was music to my ears." Advertisement Hopefully for Young, McMillan and the Panthers, that soundtrack will also include a lot more of "Sweet Caroline" in 2025 and beyond.

'I kept saying "do you believe in magic?" - and magic delivered'
"All I kept saying was, 'do you believe in magic?'." Standing in front of 10,000 Arsenal fans outside Emirates Stadium on Monday, childhood fan Leah Williamson took to the microphone with a Champions League winners medal around her neck. Stina Blackstenius scored the only goal as Renee Slegers' side stunned European giants Barcelona to win their first European title in 18 years. Arsenal may have been the underdogs heading into Saturday's final against a Barca side chasing a third successive Champions League title, but Williamson always believed. "I've been saying the whole time, all my team-mates will tell you all I kept saying was 'do you believe in magic?'," she said. "That's what I could feel. "I knew it was going to happen against Lyon, I knew it was going to happen in the final. And magic delivered." Williamson joined Arsenal at the age of eight and was mascot when Arsenal last won the competition in 2007. Interviewed on stage by her close friend and scorer of Arsenal's 2007 Champions League-winning goal, Alex Scott, the 28-year-old had a lump in her throat as she addressed the crowd. "We knew it was going to be a special day but when we all walked out today we said 'this is one of those moments'. This is one of the moments I'll tell my grandkids about. "I have been educated my whole life and seen with my own two eyes how successful Arsenal have been, especially Arsenal women. All I ever wanted to do was be a part of it. It's very special. "My club. My Arsenal. Champions League winners. European champions." Fans jubilant as Arsenal lift trophy at Emirates How Arsenal's comeback queens achieved the unthinkable Arsenal put smile back on my face - Kelly There were grey skies over north London on Monday, but the sea of red and white as fans packed out Armoury Square in their thousands was a sight to behold. The celebrations were limited to a 10,000 capacity for safety reasons but fans turned out in their droves, some of which arrived as early at 06:00 BST to ensure they secured their spot. Arsenal's club dog Win - brought to the club by men's boss Mikel Arteta to develop the family atmosphere - was front and centre as Beth Mead held him during the event. Left-back Katie McCabe was living her best life as she took to the microphone to lead the karaoke, with Sweet Caroline, Freed From Desire and Simply the Best among the songs belted out by players and fans alike. "I've been with these girls for nearly 10 years," McCabe said when addressing the crowd. "Red is in my blood. "These group of girls is everything you need in a team and that is why we did it on Saturday night in Lisbon." Arsenal remain the only English club to win the Women's Champions League and now avoid going through the qualification rounds for next season's competition, going straight into the group phase as holders. The Gunners' triumph in Lisbon is even more remarkable given their turbulent start to the season. They won only on of their opening four league games and lost the first leg of their first round Champions League qualifying match. Boss Jonas Eidevall resigned in October, with Slegers appointed as interim to steady the ship, before being given the job on a permanent basis in January. Slegers had never managed beyond the group stages of the Champions League this season, and her achievements are still sinking in. "There were so many emotions after the game," the Dutchwoman told the crowd. "I thought when I came home I would be taking it in, but I ordered food and fell asleep. "If you are together and you stay together whatever happens and you want to become better every day, with the foundation of being really good players you can reach high levels and that's what we have done." Before Arsenal players lifted the trophy and were showered in red and white confetti, the last word went to the matchwinner and history-maker Blackstenius. "It's just amazing standing here with this team and all of you," she said. "We won the Champions League and it feels unbelievable in every way."

England captain Harry Kane sings 'Sweet Caroline' as Bayern Munich star celebrates Bundesliga title - after finally ending trophy drought
Harry Kane revelled in Bayern Munich 's Bundesliga title celebrations this weekend, as the England captain belted out 'Sweet Caroline' in front of the German fans. Kane finally lifted the first trophy of his career last week at the Allianz Arena, after Bayern pipped title rivals Bayer Leverkusen to Bundesliga glory, earning the Bavaria club their 12th Bundesliga title in 13 seasons. The England captain scored his 25th league goal in another stellar season for Bayern, who cruised to a 2-0 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach last week to put the gloss on a title triumph that was confirmed before the game. And as is the tradition for Bayern, their public celebration of the major title saw them take to the central square in Munich in front of thousands of fans. Bayern's title parade saw them travel through the city and culminated in a celebration where each of the players lifted the Bundesliga trophy on the balcony of the New Town Hall in Marienplatz. And as Kane celebrated his long-awaited achievement, he sang along to 'Sweet Caroline', which was blasted out of the speakers. it's finally here, sweet caroline sung by harry and georgia 🔥 — michelle (6x 🏆) (@miasankane) May 18, 2025 Kane was joined by fellow countrywoman Georgia Stanway, who plays for Bayern's women's team in the Frauen-Bundesliga. The attacking midfielder was pivotal in the women's side's success this season, which saw them also win their league. After ending a 15-year wait to win a trophy in his senior career, Kane revealed his first team honour trumped the feeling of winning individual awards, the latter of which he has earned a plethora. 'It's been a long time coming,' Kane said, after he had been drenched in beer by teammates. 'It means more than any of the goalscoring awards, for sure. There's no secret that there has been this one thing that has been missing from my resume. 'It was a weight on my shoulders and now it's been lifted. I've had plenty of individual accolades and been close on so many occasions to trophies, but for one reason or another, it hasn't quite worked. 'When you go through a season, the ups and downs, the work, the training, all together with the team, with the staff, you, to have this release and have this kind of celebration at the end, I've never been able to have that before. It was just so nice to have that moment.'
