After a breathless first leg full of goals, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain meet again for the second leg of their Champions League semifinal on Wednesday.

PSG edged a dramatic encounter at the Parc des Princes last week, winning 5–4 in what has already been described as one of the competition’s classic ties. The reigning European champions now carry a slim advantage into the return leg at the Allianz Arena, where they aim to protect their lead and continue their title defence.

The nine-goal thriller in Paris has set the stage for another high-intensity contest, with both sides showing enough attacking quality to believe they can reach the final. With key players rested during weekend league matches, both teams arrive in Bavaria fresh for a decisive showdown.

Bayern will need at least a two-goal win to book their place in the final, while PSG only need to avoid defeat to progress. If the aggregate score is level after full time, extra time and penalties will be required to separate the sides.

Minnesota Vikings fans want a change to the status quo — they do not want more of Rob Brzezinski as the primary general manager. We polled Twitter (X) this week, and the verdict is decisive: people say it’s time for something new.

The poll was informal, but the result still shows where fan sentiment currently sits.

The Vikings’ search for a general manager is ongoing, and the club should announce a decision within the next couple of weeks.

Fans Prefer a New Voice in Minnesota

Do you prefer Brzezinski or someone new?

Vikings Fans: Get Us a New GM

Minnesota fired Kwesi Adofo-Mensah at the end of January, about three and a half weeks after the end of the 2025 regular season. The timing was strange, but most believe the Vikings’ owners saw Sam Darnold advance to the Super Bowl and said to themselves, “I’ve seen enough.”

Brzezinski took over in an interim capacity, with his hat in the ring for the permanent gig.

But fans would rather Brzezinski not continue. Here’s the poll:

One hundred eighty-six people responded, and the poll was not scientific.

Brzezinski’s Track Record

Despite fans’ hesitation, the longer one considers Brzezinski as general manager, the more sense it makes. He has already managed the Vikings’ free agency cycle and draft following Adofo-Mensah’s departure.

His deep knowledge of the organization’s budget, contracts, and cap sheet provides him with a thorough understanding of internal operations — a sweet advantage. While NFL general manager roles are often perceived as solely focused on scouting and roster vision, the financial aspect is paramount, and Brzezinski has been entrusted with it for years.

Vikings fans have long dubbed him the “cap wizard,” a reputation that should warrant him a genuine shot at the top job.

The arrangement also aligns perfectly with the Vikings’ recent actions. By firing Adofo-Mensah but retaining Kevin O’Connell, the team fundamentally altered its GM search. Most NFL teams link the head coach and general manager, with their fates typically intertwined. Minnesota, however, kept O’Connell, effectively positioning him as the primary figure in their football operations.

Within this model, Brzezinski emerges as an ideal fit.

O’Connell can maintain significant involvement in roster vision, while Brian Flores can heavily influence defensive personnel decisions. Brzezinski, in turn, can oversee the front office, manage the salary cap, handle contracts, and ensure operational efficiency. The Vikings demonstrated the viability of this distributed structure during the recent draft.

Furthermore, this approach provides ownership with considerable flexibility. Should the season underperform — finishing, for instance, with a 6-11 or 7-10 record — Minnesota could reset without a major structural upheaval. O’Connell could be dismissed, Brzezinski could revert to his previous role, and the team could then pursue a new GM-head coach pairing. Conversely, if the Vikings succeed, the move will appear steady, logical, and perhaps even long overdue.

Otherwise, if a poor season unfolds, the new non-Brzezinski general manager will have lived in both worlds: working with players that O’Connell, Flores, and Brzezinski drafted while carving out his own vision.

The Outside Candidates

The Vikings’ owners announced last week the general manager search would be private — but then updates started spilling into public view on Wednesday.

NFL.com’s Kevin Patra wrote, “The Minnesota Vikings have identified their first general manager candidate outside the organization. The Vikings requested an interview with Buffalo Bills assistant general manager Terrance Gray for their GM job, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported on Wednesday, per a source.”

“Gray has been with the Bills since 2017, but spent 11 seasons with Minnesota as a scout, so he is well-known within the building. Prior to his stint with the Vikings, Gray worked in the Kansas City Chiefs’ front office.”

Gray will be the first of many, and the process evidently won’t be so secretive after all.

Some have hinted that a different person inside the current front office, too, such as Ryan Grigson, could walk away with the job.

How We Got Here

The Vikings need a new general for two primary reasons:

1. From 2022 to 2025 — four drafts — Adofo-Mensah picked underwhelming players, connecting on only about 15% to 20% of selections. Adofo-Mensah’s best pick might be a kicker (Will Reichard). A team cannot draft poorly and hope to win a Super Bowl. It is impossible.
2. Last offseason, Minnesota had several quarterback options, including Sam Darnold, Daniel Jones, and Aaron Rodgers. It landed on J.J. McCarthy as the sole QB1 solution. He struggled, while Darnold, Jones, and Rodgers played better. Darnold won a Super Bowl, and his success appeared to be the final nail in Adofo-Mensah’s coffin.

Therefore, the next general manager — Brzezinski, Gray, or someone else — must draft at a normal or stellar hit rate and make responsible quarterback decisions. It’s really that simple.

The headline fight and full card have now been confirmed for iVB’s ambitious San Francisco boxing event this summer, where organisers hope to break the world record for the largest crowd ever assembled for a fight.

It was announced earlier this year that Ed Pereira was set to stage an event at San Francisco’s Civic Center Plaza on July 11, attempting to surpass the current attendance record of 135,132 spectators set by Tony Zale vs Billy Pryor at Juneau Park in Milwaukee back in 1941.

With the date fast approaching, the card has now taken shape. Anthony Olascuaga headlines the event, defending his WBO flyweight world title against Andy Dominguez.

Elsewhere on the card, Vito Mielnicki Jr faces Gerardo Luis Vergara at middleweight, super-featherweights Charly Suarez and Manuel Avila meet, and heavyweight prospect Gurgen Hovhannisyan takes on Uila Mauʻu. Oscar Bonifacino vs Gabriel Torres in the featherweight ranks and Blake Binskin vs Dante Paris Ibarra Hernandez at super-featherweight round out the six-fight card.

Well-respected boxing figure Sampson Lewkowicz will act as lead promoter for the event alongside iVB CEO Pereira, while former world champion Christy Martin is also supporting the show. Iconic ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr will front the May 7 press conference. Pereira said:

“This will be a show like the boxing world has never seen before. An event built for this city and its communities. San Francisco has always been a city that stands for something special, and on July 11, it will stand at the centre of the boxing world.”

Lewkowicz added:

“Ed has a vision for this sport that I believe in completely. When he came to me with this event, I saw immediately what it could be – something the boxing world has never seen. Together we are going to give San Francisco and the world a night they will never forget. This is not just a fight card, this is a statement. I have spent my whole career backing things other people walked away from and every time I have been proved right. This will be no different.”

The card will be broadcast live on YouTube, with further announcements expected in the coming weeks as preparations continue for one of the most ambitious boxing events ever staged in the US.

Bruno Fernandes has one year left on his contract at Man Utd, and nobody seems sure quite how long he will stay at Old Trafford.

There is a certain irony to the fact that Bruno Fernandes stands on the brink of a remarkable Premier League record in the season after he came as close as he has ever done to leaving Manchester United.

The talismanic 31-year-old needs one more assist to equal the Premier League record of 20 in a season, set by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne. Two in his final three games will leave him in a class of his own.

Fernandes’ remarkable form this season means he is a certainty to win a fifth player of the season award at Old Trafford and is a strong contender to be named player of the year across the division. Once again, the thought of where United would be without him isn’t really worth thinking about.

That could have been a reality had Fernandes moved to Saudi Arabia last summer. In the end, he turned the eye-watering sums down, but felt United were willing to let him go and cash a transfer fee that could have been close to £100million.

There is no ambiguity this summer. United have made it clear they want Fernandes to stay and hope the sense of momentum and a return to the Champions League will convince him to do just that.

He has a release clause of around £56million that can be activated by a foreign club and a year remaining on his contract, with the option of a further 12 months. Even if Fernandes does stay for another season, there is no guarantee next year won’t be his last at the club.

The Portuguese playmaker also turns 32 in September, and although he is in the form of his life at the moment, there is no certainty that it will be sustained for years to come, especially with the schedule set to become more demanding now that United have returned to Europe.

So there is clearly a need for a succession plan. United can’t be caught out if Fernandes decides after the World Cup he wants to leave this summer, or if he says next season will be his last.

There are options in the current squad who can play there, with Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount both fitting the bill. Mount hasn’t done enough so far in his United career to get the chance, while Cunha is a versatile forward also used on the left and as a false nine.

Instead, the answer may well lie in the transfer market. Amid another summer focusing on Premier League-proven players, Aston Villa’s attacking midfielder Morgan Rogers is someone United are keen on, with the view within the game that Villa might be willing to cash in on the 23-year-old to help fund their own summer overhaul.

The England international has had an excellent season at Villa Park and he could go to the World Cup as Thomas Tuchel’s first-choice No. 10, ahead of Jude Bellingham, which is evidence of his ability to succeed in that position.

His versatility has also been on show this term, with 30 games as an attacking midfielder and 17 on the left wing. United are in the market for a left-winger this summer and if they can land Rogers, he could play on the left with Fernandes in the same team, before eventually taking control of that central position.

He is also a player that Michael Carrick knows well, with the 44-year-old now increasingly likely to stay on as head coach. While United’s recruitment is no longer dictated by the manager, it is a deal Carrick would be keen on, with Rogers producing 18 goal contributions in 33 games for the Old Trafford boss at Middlesbrough.

Carrick was slightly surprised to see Rogers quickly make the leap from the Championship to Aston Villa, but he has been impressed with the way he took the step up and the impact he is now having.

“He’s taking huge steps and quickly and being a major, major part of their team and part of the England team as well. It just shows how well he’s done,” Carrick said ahead of United’s win against Villa earlier this season.

“We could always see what he was possibly going to be capable of and the potential there in terms of what he could do, his attributes, the way he carries the ball, play off his left foot, play off of his right foot, create, score goals and really good athletically.

“So there were a lot of things there, but to see him go on and have such an impact would probably be more than I would have expected, probably more than Morgan himself would have expected.”

He might well get the chance to build on that with Carrick again, and he could yet be the perfect replacement for Fernandes, whenever that day comes.

Rajasthan Royals’ Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (ANI Photo)

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi might be making headlines with his bat in IPL 2026, but beyond the field, the 15-year-old batting sensation has also become the centre of a rather unusual stream of conversations. From calls for an immediate India debut to debates over whether the timing is right, the buzz around the Rajasthan Royals teenager has only continued to grow with every fearless innings.Such has been the prodigious talent of Sooryavanshi that, at times, it almost feels unreal watching a 15-year-old take apart some of the best bowlers in world cricket with such ease. Naturally, that has also opened the door for a few bizarre theories and tongue-in-cheek reactions.
