The club said in a statement that "following the incidents that occurred this morning during the first teams training session, it has decided to open disciplinary proceedings against our players Federico Valverde and Aurlien Tchouamni."

Harry Kane has tipped Paris Saint-Germain to beat Arsenal in the Champions League final, claiming the French giants have earned their status as favorites to retain the crown. The England captain suffered European heartbreak as Bayern Munich were eliminated by Luis Enrique's side in a thrilling semifinal encounter. Champions League dream ends in agony Kanes quest for a maiden Champions League trophy will have to wait at least another year after Bayern were edged out by PSG in the semifinals. Despite a spirited effort in the second leg at the Allianz Arena, a 1-1 draw was not enough to overturn the deficit, resulting in a 6-5 aggregate defeat for the German giants. The England captain managed to find the net in stoppage time, but the goal proved to be nothing more than a consolation as the final whistle sparked celebrations for the visiting Parisians. Speaking after the game, the striker expressed his disappointment regarding the team's elimination. "It's tough to take right now. Over the two legs we had enough moments to have a different outcome but it didn't go our way. Some decisions today didn't go our way and [we] played a lot of good football, but the final ball wasn't there," Kane told reporters. French giants backed for glory PSG enter the final with the opportunity to join Real Madrid as the only club to successfully defend their title in the Champions League era. Kane believes their status as reigning champions gives them the edge over Mikel Artetas Gunners. "PSG being champions probably hold the right to be slight favorites but overall, two top teams going at it and it will be an even match," Kane said when assessing the tactical battle ahead. The 32-year-old striker praised the quality of both finalists but noted that PSGs experience in high-pressure situations might be the deciding factor. "It is really even. Two totally different teams in the way they play but two very strong teams. It will be an interesting final. Us and PSG have a similar way of going about it. Some of the other top teams have a different style. That is the beauty of football, it can be anything that gets you over the line." When asked if he will tune in to see PSG take on his former north London rivals, Arsenal, the ex-Tottenham striker admitted he is yet to decide. "I don't know, it depends where I am. Right now I am just disappointed." Frustration over refereeing decisions The semifinal second leg was not without its share of drama, as Bayern felt aggrieved by several calls from referee Joao Pinheiro. Kane was particularly vocal about a rejected penalty claim for a handball by Joao Neves and the failure to dismiss Nuno Mendes. "Everyone who watched the game will have the same decision," Kane said. "How you give the handball last week and don't give it this week, both are just crazy. PSG should have had a clear second yellow card. He [the referee] changed his mind, maybe the atmosphere got to him." Bittersweet history for the England captain While the team result was devastating, Kane managed to secure a personal milestone that puts him in elite company. By scoring a stoppage-time equalizer on the night, he became the first player since Cristiano Ronaldo to score in six consecutive Champions League knockout matches. However, the record provided little solace to a man who has scored 55 goals across all competitions this season but will face the fate of a trophyless continental campaign. "I think it has been a very strong season, but always in the Champions League it will come down to the final margins," Kane reflected. "We had the dream of winning all the trophies, we are good enough to be able to do that and that is why it hurts." Bayern will now have to shift their focus back to domestic matters as they look to secure a domestic double, with the DFB-Pokal final against Stuttgart serving as their primary chance for redemption.

Sue Bird achieved a lot during her collegiate and professional basketball career. She's a two-time NCAA champion, college player of the year, four-time WNBA title winner, and a Hall of Famer, among numerous other honors.Soon, Bird will be honored in a way that many athletes never even consider: having the title of a state bird.That's correct. A bill approved by the Connecticut legislature is awaiting the signature of Gov. Ned Lamont where Bird will then share the state bird designation every March with New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Hawkins, who was a part of the 2023 national champions Huskies team, and the American robin."The American robin, Turdus migratorius, shall be the state bird, provided in the month of March of each year, the American robin, Jordan Hawkins, and Suzanne Brigit Bird, also known as Sue Bird, shall be the state birds," the bill says."It speaks well to our love affair with our university and our basketball team in the month of March and what it means to the state," said state House Speaker Matt Ritter. "And I think it's a nice gesture."What an honor, commented the Instagram account for her Birds Eye View podcast on a post about the designation.Bird, who hails from Syosset, New York, led UConn to two national titles and a 39-0 record during the 2001-02 NCAA season. While with the Huskies, she was a three-time winner of the Nancy Lieberman Award as the best collegiate point guard, two-time First-Team All-Big East, and the Big East and Naismith player of the year in 2002.This past December, Bird's No. 10 was retired by UConn.Following her time with the Huskies, Bird was the first overall pick in the 2002 WNBA draft by the Seattle Storm, where she would play until 2022. She would help the franchise to four WNBA titles, while becoming a 13-time All-Star, five-time All-WNBA First-team member, and named to the league's 10th, 15th, 20th, and 25th anniversary teams. Bird retired from playing after the 2022 WNBA season and the Storm retired her No. 10 the following season. She has since joined the teams ownership group and will have a statue outside Climate Pledge Arena come August. Last year, she was part of the 2025 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame class.
