Arsenal is back in the Champions League final for the first time in 20 years thanks to a late first-half goal from Bukayo Saka that secured a 1-0 win over Atltico Madrid on Tuesday. Saka was on hand to slot in the rebound after Leandro Trossards shot was saved by Jan Oblak in the 45th minute to put Arsenal up 2-1 on aggregate in the second leg of their semifinal. The Gunners stingy defense did the rest as Arsenal has now kept a clean sheet at home in all three knockout rounds. The team also conceded a competition-low four goals in winning all eight of its matches in the league phase. It will be only Arsenals second final in Europes premier competition, having lost the 2006 title match to Barcelona. This time the Gunners will face either defending champion Paris Saint-Germain or Bayern Munich in Budapest, Hungary, on May 30. PSG won the pulsating first leg of their semifinal 5-4, and the second leg is in Munich on Wednesday. It could prove a special season for the London cub, which is now one game away from its first European Cup title and three games away from a first Premier League crown in 22 years. The Gunners are guaranteed the domestic league title if they win their remaining three matches, after closest rival Manchester City was held to a 3-3 draw at Everton on Monday. Atltico had a chance to equalize in the 51st when Giuliano Simeone chased down a poor backward header from William Saliba to round goalkeeper David Raya, but center back Gabriel did just enough to make him put his effort wide. Atltico was then denied a possible penalty when Arsenal defender Riccardo Calafiori stepped on the foot of Antoine Griezmann in the area, as referee Daniel Siebert awarded a free kick to the hosts for an earlier incident instead. Atltico coach Diego Simeone, clad in his customary all-black attire, grew increasingly agitated on the sidelines as the decisions went against his club and the search for an equalizer proved fruitless. He was eventually booked for his remonstrations in stoppage time. Simeone led his team to the Champions League final in 2014 and 2016, losing both times to Real Madrid, but will have to wait for a third chance to deliver the clubs first European Cup. Arsenal striker Viktor Gykeres had a great chance to double the lead on a counterattack in the 66th when Piero Hincapie picked him out with a cross but he side footed his effort over the bar. As expected, though, this matchup never looked likely to descend into the kind of free-flowing back-and-forth attacking play of the PSG-Bayern game, as Arsenals defense held firm. Whichever team wins that second semifinal, the final in Budapest promises to be a contrast in styles. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The veteran wide receiver should garner free-agency interest now that his legal case has been resolved

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is heading to Springfield for a series of meetings with lawmakers starting Tuesday night to push for more new revenue ideas and keep the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field.The trip comes as lawmakers begin the final weeks of this legislative session, which includes reworking a bill to help the Bears in their quest to build a stadium in Arlington Heights.ABC7 Chicago is now streaming 24/7. Click here to watchOn Tuesday, Johnson outlined a wish list of revenue ideas that may turn out to be an uphill battle in Springfield. But keeping the Bears from moving out of the city appears to be an even heavier lift.Johnson said the Bears are "foolish" to leave the lakefront, and he is not ready to give up the fight to keep the Bears at Soldier Field."It's not just the best place for the Bears to play, the lakefront. It's the most economically sound, as well as economically stable idea for the Bears to remain in Chicago," Johnson said.As it stands, the Bears have long said the two locations they are considering for a new stadium are in Arlington Heights and Hammond, Indiana.SEE ALSO | Gov. Pritzker says he wants Bears stadium deal done 'as fast as possible' as team meets with NFLBefore heading to Springfield, the mayor raised concerns about the bill now before the Illinois Senate that would allow developers of large projects, including the Bears, to make payments to local taxing bodies in exchange for long-term freezes on property taxes.An analysis done of the bill passed by the Illinois House said while it would help the Bears put a new stadium on the old Arlington Racetrack property, the included property tax relief for homeowners would be negligible. The mayor is troubled by that."Without, you know, a clear pathway to provide certainty, as well as equity for everyday working people, I believe that is a mismatch there," Johnson said.Johnson's Springfield mission will also focus on convincing lawmakers not to cut the portion of the state income tax that goes to local municipalities, known as the local government distributive fund.Right now, Chicago stands to lose more than $12 million under the governor's budget plan."Raising the percentage share by just 1% would result in an $80 million increase in funding for the city of Chicago," Johnson said.Progressive lawmakers are joining the mayor in advocating for additional new revenue sources, including a digital ad tax."I don't think anybody has any love lost for the Elon Musks of the world or Mark Zuckerbergs of the world, and what they've been doing to our communities," said digital ad tax sponsor and Illinois state Sen. Robert Peters, D-Chicago. "So, this is, I think, a unique opportunity for us to both tackle budget issues to tackle bigger structural issues."Peters, whose district includes Soldier Field, is also pushing for state help to renovate the venue for concerts."So, my main duty is to make sure that Soldier Field remains a unique and special venue, and that is with or without the Bears," Peters said.The mayor will host a dinner meeting for the legislative black caucus on Tuesday night and then a breakfast meeting for another group of lawmakers on Wednesday morning to kick off a busy day-and-a-half of lobbying for Chicago.Illinois lawmakers' spring session ends on May 31.The Bears have said they plan to share an update on their new stadium plans by late spring or early summer.ABC7 Chicago's Craig Wall will travel to Springfield on Tuesday night to cover the mayor's trip.

Tottenham midfielder Conor Gallagher has opened up on the transformative impact Roberto De Zerbi has had at the club since taking the reins during a turbulent season. The England international believes the Italian's unique approach has been the catalyst for their recent climb out of the Premier League relegation zone. De Zerbi brings personal touch Spurs have claimed seven points from their first three games under the Italian coach, providing a significant boost to their Premier League survival hopes. Following a crucial 2-1 victory over Aston Villa, midfielder Gallagher highlighted the manager's commitment to individual development as the driving force behind their improved form. "The gaffer has been brilliant with us. He has brought the team together," the 26-year-old told reporters when discussing the atmosphere inside the dressing room. "He is really worked on players individually with one-to-one meetings and one-to-one chats, trying to get that belief and confidence back in the players. He has done that with me and it has made a big difference. I know he has done that with a lot of the other lads." Rediscovering Chelsea form at Spurs Ex-Chelsea player Gallagher, who joined Spurs from Atltico Madrid in January, netting his first goal for the club at Villa Park, revealed that De Zerbi has been using his past successes to motivate him. The Italian tactician specifically referenced Gallagher's peak years in West London to remind the player of his inherent quality during these high-pressure months. "He just reminds me of when I was at my best. He said that second season at Chelsea, when I had a really good season, he just reminded me of that player," Gallagher explained. "He wants me to be like that again and to not forget how good I can be." Unity on the training pitch The tactical shift has been just as important as the mental one, with Gallagher noting that De Zerbi's meticulous nature on the training ground has ensured the entire squad is pulling in the same direction. Consecutive wins against Wolves and Aston Villa suggest that the message is finally being received loud and clear by a group that had looked disjointed earlier in the campaign. Reflecting on the collective progress, Gallagher stated: "As a team as well, all the work he has done on the training pitch and the meeting rooms, it has been fantastic and everyone is on the same page." Focus shifts to Leeds clash Despite the optimism surrounding the recent results, Gallagher is under no illusions regarding the challenges that lie ahead. Tottenham have managed to haul themselves out of the bottom three, but the gap remains narrow and the pressure remains high ahead of their next fixture against Leeds. "There is a lot of work to do," the midfielder cautioned. "We are fully focused on the next game, hopefully do the same performance and another win."

SportsLine MLB expert Matt Snyder dishes his best home run props for Tuesday, May 5

HOUSTON, TEXAS - FEBRUARY 8: Houston Astros GM Dana Brown is interviewed during the annual Houston Astros media luncheon at Minute Maid Park on Thursday, Feb. 8, 2024, in Houston. (Karen Warren/Houston Chronicle via Getty Images)It has been a disaster of an offseason for the Astros GM, now does he have what it takes to fix it?Every season in MLB is essentially a new project, with additions and subtractions to the active roster, to the 40 man roster, to the minor league system. It is a new puzzle each year, one with an unknown shape, and the GM is tasked with acquiring enough pieces or the right pieces (or both) to fill a puzzle that he doesnt yet know the layout of. Its a very difficult job trying to guess the puzzle ahead of time, which is why GMs make a whole lot of money. They hold the keys to the castle, building it and maintaining it is their foremost responsibility. The challenges of doing so are irrelevant, you are judged on wins and losses. Right now the Astros are losing too much. The way in which they are losing is borderline incredulous. In the Golden Era of Astros baseball, pitching and defense have been hallmarks of the organization. The Astros consistently won by pitching their tails off and taking advantage of their opponents mistakes and then punishing them for making them. This year, the Astros are the team making the mistakes. They are also the team that cannot pitch. That the Astros cannot pitch is a concept so far from the reality of the past 10 years, it would not be unreasonable for someone to assume I am pulling their leg, or at the very least am being highly sarcastic. Yet, here we are. The Astros 5.78 ERA as a team is the worst in baseball. It is 0.71 runs per game WORSE than the 2nd worst team, the Arizona Diamondbacks. How did the Astros get here? After all, when they were the most injured pitching staff in a generation, they still managed a respectable 3.86 ERA, good for 11th in MLB. What has gone wrong?Everything.After the team elected to allow staff ace Framber Valdez to leave via free agency, they chose to address their pitching needs in the bargain bin. While that isnt necessarily a failing strategy, this year and to this point, it has been. The Astros signed/acquired 5 starting pitchers and a group of relievers, that to this point have failed far more than they have succeeded. Mike Burrows was acquired in a 3-way trade in the offseason that saw Houston send Jacob Melton and Anderson Brito to Tampa. in his rookie season a year ago in Pittsburgh, Burrows showed some promise. He went 3-4 with a 3.94 ERA over 96 innings, with a 1.24 WHIP and 97 strikeouts. This season to date, he has not fared nearly as well, currently sitting at 1-4 with a 5.97 ERA and 1.65 WHIP over 37.2 innings. He has allowed the most hits in the AL with 49, and he has already allowed 8 home runs. Burrows H/9 rate has exploded from 8.3 to 11.7. While he has been the subject of some tough luck, that doesnt explain the 3.5 hits per nine increase, nor does it explain his HR/9 rate jumping so hard (from 1.2 last year to 1.9 this year). Poor command has been mostly to blame. Tatsuya Imai has been perplexing. He was practically untouchable all spring, and then started strong in his first game until he lost the strike zone in the 3rd inning and couldnt get out of it. Imai was terrific in his second start, going 5.2 innings scoreless with 9K for his first MLB win. His 3rd start was an abject disaster in which he allowed 3 runs on 4 walks and 1 hit, and only recorded one out. He went on the IL after that start with arm fatigue. In his first rehab start, he again couldnt find the strike zone, and threw only 31 of his 59 pitches for strikes. He will make another rehab start tonight in Sugar Land, and the Astros desperately need their biggest ticket free agent signing to right the ship and be the kind of frontline starter he was expected to be when he arrived.Ryan Weiss has been a total failure. Coming over from the KBO where he dominated last season and led his team to their version of the World Series, he started well in his first 3 appearances and then completely fell apart. Weiss allowed just 1 run total in his first 3 appearances totaling 6 innings. He walked two and struck out 7. He looked like a terrific international signing. However, over his last 6 outings, he has been simply awful. Hes allowed 21 ER over his last 20 innings, with 18 walks and a ridiculous 7 home runs. He hasnt just set fire to games, hes taken a flamethrower to them. He was optioned to Triple-A after his appearance last night as the Astros will try to figure out what happened to his command. Nate Pearson was returning from surgery, and is also expected to make a rehab assignment today at Sugar Land. He has not yet made an appearance for Houston.The two moves that can be argued in Browns favor for the pitching staff thus far are for Kai-Wei Teng and Peter Lambert.Teng was acquired in a trade with the Giants for Jancel Villaroel. Teng has been one of their best pitchers, able to give them length, spot start, and handle leverage so far in a bullpen that has been significantly overworked and has not been able to get players into established roles. While Teng has not been used primarily as a starter this season, he has been a starter in the past, and Dana Brown did say they were interested in stretching Teng out as a starter.Teng is 1-2 with a 2.35 ERA and 0.96 WHIP. He has allowed just 15 hits (albeit 3 HR) with 7 walks and 22 strikeouts. His versatility and effectiveness have been one of the few bright spots in the bullpen.Lambert, who pitched the last 2 years in Japan, was originally signed by the Astros to a MiLB deal in November 2025. The Astros then released him March 24 after he did not make the Opening Day roster and Lambert triggered an opt-out clause in his contract. He re-signed a minor league deal with Houston 3 days later. Lambert began the season at Triple A, posting a 1.84 ERA in 3 appearances (2 starts) for Sugar Land. He allowed 3 ER in 14.2 IP with 3 BB and 12K. Since being called up by the Astros, Lambert has been solid, going 1-2 with a 3.52 ERA and 1.24 WHIP, having been the unfortunate recipient of poor relief in his first start. Lambert has generated a lot of swings and misses in his first 2 starts as well, and has been a solid lifeline for a rotation in distress. This rotation retooling thus far has not succeeded, and has been further hampered by injuries to staff ace Hunter Brown and Cristian Javier, neither of whom is expected back until June at the earliest.Now, Burrows could still get things turned around and he has been better in his past two starts. Imai could return to his proper and expected form and have a strong 4 months. Both of those things would go a long way to getting the Astros right and making Browns offseason look better. Browns offseason literally hangs in the balance of the resurgence of Burrows and Imai. Those arent bad bets, but they leave no room for error. What does Brown do if those two guys dont pan out? It isnt realistic to expect guys like Jason Alexander and Colton Gordon to be starters the entire season and be effective. Whether or not Weiss can right the ship is anyones guess but definitely should not be counted on. The biggest question is what can Dana Brown do if the offseason is indeed a failure? The Astros dont have the depth or the minor league top talent to acquire big time pitching at the trade deadline, if the team is even good enough to warrant such moves then. Those moves may need to be made much sooner.Does Brown have the ability to swing those deals? Being in the final year of his contract, does he even have the authority to swing those deals?We dont know what handcuffs Brown has had to deal with, other than the payroll restrictions obviously put on him by owner Jim Crane, who is very reticent to pay the luxury tax for a third straight season unless he thinks there is a big move to make at the deadline to make them serious contenders. Right now, they are at best a Wild Card hopeful more than a Divisional contender, let alone a title contender.We have seen this team overcome bad starts and bad stretches before (see 12-24 start in 2024). We have seen other teams do the same in recent seasons (see Atlanta 2021 and Cleveland 2025). It is possible. What Brown can do for the Astros here is paramount to his job security. If the moves hes already made dont pan out, he is likely gone. Whether or not he has the ammunition or authority to make more moves is very much in question, and we are likely to find out what the answers to those questions are soon. Brown needs a new plan to get this team in the right direction. Does he have one? Is he allowed to execute it?Right now, he appears to be the person most culpable for a struggling teams roster that has an overburdened and underperforming pitching staff, and Jim Crane doesnt like to lose.
