BERLIN (AP) — Bayern Munich is back on top of the Bundesliga after beating main rival Borussia Dortmund but the closest title race in years is exposing uncharacteristic tensions at the Bavarian powerhouse.Bayern chief executive Oliver Kahn and former player Lothar Matthäus delivered a heated exchange Saturday before the team’s win over Dortmund with Kahn angrily defending the club’s treatment of Julian Nagelsmann, who was fired as coach the week before. Kahn acknowledged it had been a “catastrophe” that Nagelsmann learned of his dismissal from the media and not from the club directly but denied Bayern club was at fault, saying it had tried several times to reach him. Nagelsmann was on vacation at the time during the international break.The coach’s management team later contradicted Kahn’s account, telling Sky TV that it heard nothing from the club before telephoning Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidžić for an explanation after seeing the media reports of Nagelsmann’s fi...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:40:23 GMT

PARIS (AP) — The relationship between Lionel Messi and PSG fans is not getting better. It’s actually turning bitter.Less than a week after he scored a hat-trick and surpassed 100 career goals for Argentina, the world champion was whistled by sections of supporters before and during PSG’s 1-0 home loss to Lyon on Sunday amid persistent rumors he could leave the club soon.

PSG has lost eight of its 18 games in all competitions in 2023. It’s the most defeats after 18 games in a calendar year since Qatari owners took over the club more than a decade ago with the ambition of making it one of the most successful in Europe.Despite the hundreds of millions of euros invested, th...

(CNN) — On April 3, 1973, Martin Cooper stood on a sidewalk on sixth avenue in Manhattan with a device the size of a brick and made the first public call from a cell phone to one of the men he’d been competing with to develop the device.“I’m calling you on a cell phone, but a real cell phone, a personal, handheld, portable cell phone,” Cooper, then an engineer at Motorola, said on the phone to Joel Engel, head of AT&T-owned Bell Labs.While cell phones would not be available to the average consumer for another decade, anyone walking by Cooper on the street that day could have seen history being made.In the fifty years since that first call, Cooper’s bulky device has evolved and been replaced by a wide range of thinner, faster phones that are now ubiquitous and reshaping industries, culture and the way we relate to one another and ourselves. But while the vast reach and impact of cell phones may have caught some off guard, Cooper said the possib...
