Who should Barcelona sell? While Barca crashed out of the competition at the quarter-final stage, having been defeated 3-0 on aggregate, fans at Camp Nou applauded the side for their effort. On the other hand, Pique seemed to note that some Real Madrid supporters chose to jeer their side as they required extra-time to see off Bayern Munich.

Nike announced Tuesday that Jordan Brand’s famous Jumpman logo will appear on the Statement Edition uniforms of every NBA team starting with the 2020-21 season. The Hornets have worn Jordan Brand uniforms since 2017 — an easy decision given that Jordan is the majority owner of the franchise — but the presence of the Jumpman logo on the right shoulder of the jersey and left leg of the short is not exactly a welcome sight for every team....

The viral clip, shared on TikTok last Wednesday by the dog’s owner, under the username Katherinepatriick, showed Cove sitting on top of her owner, looking “all mad” while waiting for the veterinarian to come back with her medicines.

These two schools also met last season in Week 2 when Pittsburgh left Neyland Stadium as a 41-34 victor thanks to an efficient game from QB Kenny Pickett (24-of-36 passing, 285 yards, three total TDs). Tennessee’s defense had trouble limiting Pickett’s big-play ability and is fortunate he’s since moved on to the NFL. It’s also worth noting Tennessee rolled out their now second-string QB, Joe Milton, in that game, as Hendon Hooker was yet to take over as QB1....
