PSG player ratings vs Lille: Kylian Mbappe & Lionel Messi step up just in time to win Ligue 1 thriller:

The French superstar scored twice before the Argentine wizard netted a stoppage-time free-kick to seal a 4-3 victory

After three successive defeats in all competitions, Paris Saint-Germain got back to winning ways in dramatic fashion on Sunday, coming from behind late on to seal a 4-3 win over Lille.

PSG actually opened the scoring through Kylian Mbappe, who evaded two Lille defenders and finished to complete a sublime solo effort. Neymar made it two shortly after, bursting into the box to meet Vitinha's layoff.

Lille, though, pulled one back from through a Bafode Diakite header, and Jonathan David then equalised from the spot after Neymar had been stretchered off with an ankle injury.

The away side then took a 3-2 lead through Jonathan Bamba, but a late double from first Mbappe and then a free-kick from Lionel Messi in stoppage time saw PSG move nine points clear at the top of Ligue 1 - and perhaps save manager Christophe Galtier's job.

GOAL rates PSG's players from Parc des Princes...

Goalkeeper & Defence

Gianluigi Donnarumma (6/10):

A mixed bag. Made some excellent saves, but shouldn't have been beaten at his near post for Lille's third.

Timothee Pembele (5/10):

An uneasy stand-in for Achraf Hakimi. Had the fewest touches of any PSG player.

Sergio Ramos (7/10):

Has gone from the forgotten man to the best central defender PSG have at the moment.

Presnel Kimpembe (6/10):

Uneasy start to the game with a poor header that almost gave up a goal, but improved as it went on.

Nuno Mendes (5/10):

Did little before being removed with a foot injury after 30 minutes.

Midfield

Vitinha (6/10):

Never outworked, but not exactly full of quality. Provided a neat assist for Neymar.

Marco Verratti (6/10):

Lots of defensive work, some attacking thrust, but conceded a soft penalty. Just about a welcome return from suspension in the end.

Fabian Ruiz (5/10):

Expertly completed a disappearing act.

Attack

Lionel Messi (7/10):

Anonymous, then scored a stunning free-kick to win it. Baffling.

Neymar (6/10):

Scored PSG's second but subbed off with what looked like a very painful ankle injury early in the second half.

Kylian Mbappe (9/10):

Scored an absolutely superb goal to put PSG 1-0 up and added another to kick-off the late comeback. Reminded PSG exactly how badly they need him in the side.

Subs & Manager

Juan Bernat (7/10):

Assisted Mbappe's second, put in a solid shift.

Hugo Ekitike (6/10):

Replaced Neymar, struggled to get involved.

Danilo Pereira (6/10):

A late entrant, probably should have started.

Carlos Soler (6/10):

Didn't make much of an impact

Warren Zaire-Emery (6/10):

One very nice run highlighted a solid cameo.

Christophe Galtier (6/10):

Was on the hot seat until Mbappe and Messi potentially saved his job. He will take the win, but the performances are beyond worrying.

The Board of Control for Cricket (BCCI) on Sunday posted a photo of the Australian captain presenting a signed jersey to Pujara. Featuring in his 100th Test, Pujara played the anchor, a role he is all too familiar with, scoring 31*.

Pujara slammed the winning runs.Coming to the match, India retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy by taking a 2-0 lead in the four-match series. Pujara (31*) and Bharat (23*) played till the end to guide their team home.

For India, Ravindra Jadeja ripped through Australia with seven for 42.India struggled to chase down 115 at times, but the score was never particularly dangerous because of Pujara's unbeaten 31, who carried the home team to victory. Resuming their innings at 14/1, India skipper Rohit Sharma in red-hot form slammed Australian bowlers all around the ground as he gathered 12 runs off Nathan Lyon's over.

However, Rohit's blistering stint at the crease came to an end as he was run out after scoring 31 runs off 20 deliveries. Virat Kohli then came out to bat at the crease with Cheteshwar Pujara. As Pujara kept piling singles at regular intervals, Kohli holding one end tight became the fastest batter to score 25,000 international runs. The former India captain kept slamming boundaries to ease some pressure from the Indian team.Nathan Lyon delivered a short ball but Virat Kohli beautifully played it toward the backward square leg fence for an excellent four in the 16th over of the innings. Todd Murphy then provided his team with a big breakthrough as he removed a dangerous batter Kohli for 20 runs. The right-handed batter Shreyas Iyer then came out to bat and slammed two beautiful big shots before losing his wicket to Lyon for 12 off 10.

At lunch, India's score read 14/1, with skipper Rohit Sharma (12*) and Cheteshwar Pujara (1*) at the crease. Australia resumed their innings at 61/1, with Travis Head 39*, Marnus Labuschagne 16* seeking to build on the visitors' lead.

Ashwin struck for the hosts early in the session, dismissing a dangerous Head for 43 off 46 balls and reducing Australia to 65/2. The duo of Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne then took the innings forward, adding 20 more runs before Ashwin sent back Smith for just 9. Australia was 85/3 in 19 overs.

 പാക്കിസ്ഥാനെതിരെ തകർപ്പൻ വിജയം നേടി ഇന്ത്യയുടെ പുലിക്കുട്ടികൾ….വിജയം 7 വിക്കറ്റുകൾക്ക്!!

2023 വനിതാ ട്വന്റി20 ലോകകപ്പിലെ തങ്ങളുടെ ആദ്യ മത്സരത്തിൽ പാക്കിസ്ഥാനെതിരെ ഒരു തകർപ്പൻ വിജയം നേടി ഇന്ത്യയുടെ പുലിക്കുട്ടികൾ. മത്സരത്തിൽ 7 വിക്കറ്റിന്റെ ആവേശോജ്ജ്വലമായ വിജയമാണ് ഇന്ത്യയുടെ പുലികൾ നേടിയത്. ഈ വിജയത്തോടെ ഒരു ഉഗ്രൻ തുടക്കം തന്നെ ഇന്ത്യക്ക് ടൂർണമെന്റിൽ ലഭിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്.
കേപ്പ്റ്റൗണിൽ നടന്ന മത്സരത്തിൽ ടോസ് നേടിയ പാക്കിസ്ഥാൻ ബാറ്റിംഗ് തിരഞ്ഞെടുക്കുകയായിരുന്നു.

പാക്കിസ്ഥാന്റെ ഓപ്പണർമാരെ തുടക്കത്തിൽ തന്നെ കൂടാരം കയറ്റാൻ ഇന്ത്യക്ക് സാധിച്ചു. എന്നാൽ ക്യാപ്റ്റൻ മാറൂഫ് പതിയെ ക്രീസിലുറച്ചു. മത്സരത്തിൽ 55 പന്തുകളിൽ 68 റൺസാണ് മാറൂഫ് നേടിയത്. ഒപ്പം അവസാന ഓവറുകളിൽ 25 പന്തുകളിൽ 43 റൺസ് എടുത്തു വെടിക്കെട്ട് തീർത്ത നസീം കൂടെ എത്തിയതോടെ പാക്കിസ്ഥാൻ കുതിക്കുകയായിരുന്നു. ഇരുവരും ചേർന്ന് അഞ്ചാം വിക്കറ്റിൽ 81 റൺസിന്റെ കൂട്ടുകെട്ട് സൃഷ്ടിച്ചു. അങ്ങനെ പാകിസ്ഥാൻ 149ന് 4 എന്ന സ്കോറിലെത്തി.
മറുപടി ബാറ്റിംഗിൽ തരക്കേടില്ലാത്ത തുടക്കം തന്നെയാണ് യാഷ്ടിക ഭാട്ടിയയും(17) ഷഫാലീ വർമ്മയും(33) ചേർന്ന് ഇന്ത്യക്കായി നൽകിയത്. എന്നാൽ സ്കോറിങ് ഉയർത്തുന്നതിനിടയിൽ ഇരുവർക്കും കൂടാരം കയറിയേണ്ടി വന്നു. പക്ഷേ നാലാം വിക്കറ്റിൽ ജമീമ റോഡ്രിഗസും റിച്ചാ ഘോഷും അടിച്ചു തകർത്തതോടെ ഇന്ത്യ വിജയത്തിൽ എത്തുകയായിരുന്നു. മത്സരത്തിൽ റോഡ്രിഗസ് 38 പന്തുകളിൽ 53 റൺസ് നേടിയപ്പോൾ, റിച്ച 20 പന്തുകളിൽ 31 റൺസ് നേടി. മത്സരത്തിൽ ഏഴു വിക്കറ്റുകൾക്കാണ് ഇന്ത്യ വിജയം കണ്ടത്.
കഴിഞ്ഞ സമയങ്ങളിൽ മികവാർന്ന പ്രകടനങ്ങൾ കാഴ്ചവെച്ച ഇന്ത്യൻ വനിതാ ടീമിന് കൂടുതൽ ആവേശം നൽകുന്നതാണ് പാകിസ്ഥാനെതിരായ ഈ വിജയം. സമീപകാല പ്രകടനങ്ങൾ വിലയിരുത്തുമ്പോൾ ലോകകപ്പിൽ പ്രിയപ്പെട്ട ടീം തന്നെയാണ് ഇന്ത്യ. വരും മത്സരങ്ങളിലും ഇന്ത്യയ്ക്ക് ഇത്തരം തകർപ്പൻ പ്രകടനങ്ങൾ ആവർത്തിക്കാനാകും എന്നാണ് പ്രതീക്ഷ.

Captaining Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja in India is like leading Pat Cummins and Mitchell Stark in Australia, says Rohit Sharma: 

India's Ravichandran Ashwin, right, celebrates the wicket of Australia's cricket captain Pat Cummins with his team player India's Ravindra Jadeja:

India skipper Rohit Sharma gave a huge compliment to India’s spin-bowling pair of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, saying that leading them was similar to captaining Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc in Australia.

Ashwin and Jadeja scripted Australia’s collapse in the opening Test here as India took a 1-0 lead in the Border-Gavaskar series, defeating the visitors by an innings and 132 runs. Rohit also said that the Indian pair always aim to “reach the next level” while paying Tests.

“He (Ashwin) looks a different bowler. I wouldn’t say an improved bowler as he was always a good bowler but he looks a different bowler every time he plays Test cricket. That’s what good cricketers do. They try and up their game and try to reach the next level,” said Rohit.

Ashwin, who reached a personal milestone of 450 wickets in Test cricket, also picked up his 31st five-for and a match haul of eight wickets.

Asked about the feeling of captaining a side that has Ashwin, Jadeja and Axar Patel in its ranks, Rohit replied, “It’s like captaining (Pat) Cummins, (Josh) Hazlewood and (Mitchell) Starc in Australia. Pretty similar. When you have the quality of Axar, Jadeja, and Ash, having played in India for so many years, playing on pitches like these, it’s always a blessing.” Rohit, who scored a century and laid the platform for a 400-run total, said pitch conditions are the same for everyone but what makes the three India spinners special is their ability to extract the maximum out of the wicket.

“Conditions are there for everyone but what they extract from those conditions make them really, really special. They have played on these pitches a lot and they know which areas to hit, how to keep applying that pressure.”

What did Ashwin do and the Aussies didn’t

Ashwin had enviable match figures of 8/79 from 27.5 overs sent down in two innings. When compared with the Australian off-spin duo of Nathan Lyon (1 wicket) and Todd Murphy (7 wickets), who together sent down 96 overs, one need not scratch his head to know who is the better bowler in Indian conditions.

“Ashwin has played so much cricket in India and is closing in on playing 100 Tests (89). I am pretty sure he has played most of those Tests in India and not to forget the first-class games as well before he made his debut,” Rohit explained.

“A lot of cricket and overs have gone into skills and being able to do what he is doing now; to be able to extract something out of pitch, it is not easy.” “He can bowl that carrom ball and top spin and slider. The guy has got everything. The reason he is able to extract (so much) from the pitches is because of (the) skill-sets that he has. He is a very studious guy and likes to understand his game and take it to the next level.”

Rating the knock

Rohit might have scored one of his best Test hundreds but the captain said he will not compare his 120 at Nagpur with the 161 he scored at Chepauk against England in 2021.

“I keep it where it is,” he curtly replied, when asked where he would rank the knock among his nine Test hundreds.

“Honestly, I am not too much into rating one knock above the other. Every time you play a knock like that it is important, so it is unfair to put one knock above the other. Both have come under different circumstances.

“In Chennai, we were one Test match down, we had to win. And, especially in home conditions when you are one-down, you are under pressure to do things right.

“Both (centuries) had their own challenges and I am very happy with the two knocks. When you come up with performances like these, you really feel good about it; it gives you lot of confidence also,” he concluded.

Learnings from Kohli

Rohit also said he had picked up a few cues about how to work with spinners from his predecessor Virat Kohli’s time as a skipper.

“When Virat was captaining, I noticed one thing, no matter if we got a wicket or not, the pressure had to be there so that the opposition made a mistake.

“That’s what I learnt when Virat was captaining and these guys were bowling. That’s what I try to do now. Apply pressure and don’t expect wickets every ball; its not going to happen like that but if it happens, nothing like it. We’ve got to be at it, and keep putting the ball in right areas and let the pitch help you.”

Juggling three seasoned pros

Often, when there are three spinners in the side, one tends to get under-bowled. Rohit tickled a funny bone when he cited his “worries” while rotating the bowling between Ashwin, Axar and Jadeja.

“It’s a little tough. They are all reaching their personal milestones. Jadeja was on 249 wickets and he was telling me, ‘mere ko ball de’ (give me the ball).” “Ashwin was on four wickets and he wanted a five-for and that was the challenge I was facing. I really don’t know too much about milestones but these guys know about it, so yeah that’s the challenge of captaining them rather than deciding which end to give them or not,” said Rohit as everyone had a hearty laugh.

“Again the three guys are quality and, you know, whichever end is more helpful, all these spinners want to bowl from that end. But pressure is always on me to find the right end for the right one.”

Fans tear into 'finished fraud' Cristiano Ronaldo as Al-Nassr move goes from bad to worse
Cristiano Ronaldo was unable to prevent Al-Nassr from crashing out of the Saudi Super Cup on Thursday night as his new club fell to a 3-1 defeat against Al-Ittihad
Fans have ripped into "finished fraud" Cristiano Ronaldo as his Al-Nassr move went from bad to worse on Thursday night.

Ronaldo made his second start for the club against Al-Ittihad in the semi-finals of the Saudi Super Cup, having joined Al-Nassr on a free transfer at the start of this month. However, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner was unable to prevent his new side from crashing out of the competition as they fell to a 3-1 defeat in Riyadh.

Fans were soon to take to social media to mock Ronaldo for his lack of success since arriving in Saudi Arabia.

 

PSG vs Al Nassr-Al Hilal 5-4

• This friendly match in Riyadh was Cristiano Ronaldo’s first game in Saudi Arabia since signing for Al Nassr and is the first game featuring both Ronaldo and Lionel Messi since Juventus beat Barcelona 3-0 in December 2020.

A shock 2-1 defeat to Japan in their final World Cup group-stage match may have knocked Spain's confidence, but they will be looking to get back on track to reach the quarterfinals of the tournament for the first time since they won it in 2010. 

In order to achieve that, though, they will first have to get the better of surprise package Morocco, who topped Group F with ease after defeating world No.2-ranked side Belgium 2-0.

The North Africans will be desperate to continue their fairytale 2022 journey, especially as they have never previously reached the quarterfinal

Luis Enrique's Spain side will have to be at their best to progress here.

Morocco vs Spain betting odds

Unsurprisingly, Spain come into this knockout clash as the substantial favorites, according to the bookmakers.

With their nine goals scored across the group stage — the joint-most of any side with England — the Europeans head into this clash bang in form in an attacking sense, though their defeat to Japan last time out did highlight their defensive vulnerabilities.

Coach Walid Regragui confirmed no fresh injuries following Morocco's 2-1 win over Canada, with key duo Yassine Bounou and Achraf Hakimi passed fit, and he could stick with an unchanged team.

Spain's shock loss to Japan could force a rethink for Enrique, with Aymeric Laporte one option to return at the back, and Jordi Alba and Marco Asensio also in line for a recall.
