PSG draws 0-0 without Mbappe and other stars. Vitinha scores Marseille’s winner

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 04:37:27 GMT

PARIS (AP) — Star striker Kylian Mbappe watched from the stands as Paris Saint-Germain began its title defense with a drab 0-0 home draw against Lorient in the French league on Saturday.Mbappe, Neymar and Marco Verratti were all left out by new PSG coach Luis Enrique at Parc des Princes.Mbappe topped last season’s scoring charts with 29 league goals, but was not on the field against Lorient because he is mired in a contract standoff. He wants to play this season and leave for free when his contract runs out, but PSG wants to sell him to stop this happening.Looking pensive, Mbappe sat alongside his younger brother Ethan as PSG struggled to break down a well-organized Lorient, which hit the post from midfielder Laurent Abergel’s shot in the 43rd and went close near the end through midfielder Romain Faivre.Central defender Milan Skriniar, attacking midfielder Marco Asensio, and forward Goncalo Ramos all had their PSG debuts but made little difference.Neymar trained alone on Frida...

Harry Kane makes his Bayern Munich debut but misses out on the German Super Cup trophy

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 04:37:27 GMT

MUNICH (AP) — Harry Kane was denied a long-awaited trophy in his first game with Bayern Munich after his team lost 3-0 to Leipzig in the German Super Cup on Saturday.On the same day he signed for Bayern, Kane came on as a substitute in the 64th minute to a roar from the crowd with his team trailing 2-0 but could do little to turn the game around. Instead, Leipzig’s Dani Olmo put on a display of Kane-style clinical finishing to score a hat trick as Bayern’s defensive frailties from last season persisted. The Spain midfielder scored off a loose ball at a third-minute free kick, again with a moment of solo skill just before halftime, and completed his hat trick from the penalty spot shortly after Kane entered the game.Kane greeted the crowd during the pre-game warmups to enthusiastic applause. He has the No. 9 shirt at Bayern, the number previously worn by Robert Lewandowski and 1970s great Gerd Müller.Former Leipzig midfielder Konrad Laimer was the only one of Bayern’...

The city’s Parks and Recreation Department led residents from Roxbury and other nearby neighborhoods through a two-hour two of Clifford Playground on Saturday, but no members from the City Council attended.In fact, you would have had a hard time knowing that the community engagement was occurring if you were to scroll through the councilors’ recent Twitter feeds.Councilor At-Large Julia Mejia was the only member of the 13-person council that posted a flier on Twitter advertising the two conversations that the parks department held this week on the park’s future.Resident Lissette Rodriguez, during the initial virtual meeting held via Zoom on Tuesday, asked how the city is going about its outreach to alert the community that these conversations are taking place.“I want everybody’s voices to be heard.

Massachusetts lawmakers want to override Healey’s ‘cruel’ veto of funding for texting service for lonely young people

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 04:37:27 GMT

Lawmakers who championed state support for a suicide prevention program for young people are lobbying their colleagues to restore funding that Gov. Maura Healey slashed from the fiscal 2024 budget, calling the governor’s cut “needlessly cruel” and its impact “unnerving.”Hey Sam, a texting service for people ages 15-24 grappling with loneliness, depression or suicidal feelings, was slated to receive $1 million from the compromise budget the Legislature sent to Healey. The $1 million was part of a broader $1.8 million allocation for Samaritans, Inc., which provides suicide prevention services across the state.But Healey moved to strike the Hey Sam money from the $56 billion budget she signed into law this week, saying the reduction would make the program’s funding consistent with her original budget proposal.Rep. Ted Philips, who co-hosted a legislative briefing with Sen. Becca Rausch earlier this year to spotlight the success Hey Sam has had tackli...
