Fiorentina take security measures after threats
Fiorentina say they have taken security measures to protect players, staff and their families after they received "unacceptable and shameful" threats, BBC reported.
The threats were received following the club's 3-1 loss at Sassuolo on Saturday, which left winless Fiorentina bottom of Serie A after 14 matches.
The club condemned the threats in a statement and said it "expresses its full solidarity and support for the players and their families".
Torres bags hat-trick as Barcelona batter Betis 5-3
Ferran Torres scored a first-half hat-trick as Barcelona won 5-3 at Real Betis in LaLiga on Saturday, bouncing back after conceding an early goal to extend their lead over Real Madrid at the summit to four points, Reuters reported.
Antony marked his return from suspension by scoring from Betis' first attack in the sixth minute, with Jules Kounde playing the winger onside as he rifled the ball into the net.
The fullback made amends as Barcelona levelled five minutes later with a typically expansive passing move punctuated by Torres, who deftly steered Kounde's centre in at the near post, according to Reuters.
FIFA apologises to Argentina coach over World Cup trophy gloves rule
FIFA president Gianni Infantino apologised to Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni after a mix-up during Friday's 2026 World Cup draw required the coach to wear gloves to touch the trophy. Infantino invited Scaloni to lift the Cup without gloves during a separate ceremony on Saturday, Reuters reported.
The incident came during Friday's draw for the tournament, set to be co-hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada, when organisers seemingly failed to recognise the World Cup-winning coach.
Scaloni, visibly taken aback, said that the officials did not know who he was, according to Reuters.
Salah future in doubt as he slams Liverpool for 'throwing him under the bus'
Liverpool's Mohamed Salah said he had been "thrown under the bus" as he tore into the club over his treatment and signalled a potential exit after watching from the bench as they were held to a 3-3 Premier League draw with Leeds United on Saturday, Reuters reported.
In his incendiary post-match comments, the 33-year-old Egyptian lashed out at the club and coach Arne Slot, telling journalists he felt he had been scapegoated for their poor start to the season and suggesting that he may not have long left at Anfield.
"I'm very, very disappointed to be fair. I have done so much for this club, everybody can see that during the years and especially last season," Salah told reporters in the post-match mixed zone before taking aim at the club's leadership, according to Reuters.
