Hes only 15 years old! Kid Messi sets a recordWhat were you doing when you were 15? Probably not making your debut for a Premier League club in front of thousands of people. Hard to believe, but thats exactly what JJ Gabriel managed to do the day before yesterday.In Manchester Uniteds friendly against Atltico Madrid, the wonderkid already nicknamed Kid Messi in England was brought on in the 82nd minute. At just 15 years and 299 days old, he is the youngest player ever to feature for the senior team.Because of his age, he apparently still wasnt allowed to get changed with the senior players at least thats what pictures on X seem to show. According to them, he was given his own little dressing room.But thats surely something the wonderkid can shrug off easily.In his youth, JJ Gabriel had already played in the academies of Arsenal and Chelsea, among others.He made his debut in Englands U18 league at the age of 14, breaking another record in the process. Last season, he scored 26 goals in 26 games and was named the leagues best player despite his young age.If JJ Gabriel soon features in a competitive match for United, he could become the youngest player ever to appear for the Red Devils there as well. The record is currently held by David Gaskell at 16 years and 19 days.What do you think? Does this talent have what it takes to become a global superstar?This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in here.

LONDON, ENGLAND - APRIL 26: Trevoh Chalobah of Chelsea applauds the supporters at full-time following the Emirates FA Cup Semi Final match between Chelsea and Leeds United on April 26, 2026 in London, England. (Photo by Chris Brunskill/Fantasista/Getty Images) | Getty ImagesTrevoh Chalobahs Chelsea career was never the smoothest, and at several points in recent years, it looked like it would be over. But through multiple loans and even more head coaches, the Chelsea Academy graduate managed to convince those in charge of his quality and reliability in defense, and was always there were we needed him.But after nearly two decades at the club, starting at the age of eight to his recently celebrated 27th birthday, Chalobah looks to be on his way out for good. According to multiple reports, including from Fabrizio Romano and The Athletic, Chelsea and Como 1907 have agreed a 36m deal for his transfer, which breaks down into a 30m fixed fee and 6m in add-ons (said to be easy to reach), and also includes a sell-on clause just in case. These talks had been going on for a while, with Chelsea successfully negotiating up the price from the low 20s.Chalobah, who was down to the final two years of his contract, set a career high with 47 appearances in all competitions last season, and he played in 34 of our 38 Premier League games, starting 31. It wasnt a great season last year overall, but without him, it wouldve been even worse and more chaotic. Overall, he leaves the club with 151 senior appearances, which is among the highest for Academy grads in the past couple highest.

INDYCAR HEADQUARTERS (Indianapolis) Anyone who has watched INDYCARs rollout of its 2028 car probably already knows what the buzzwords (or buzz slogan) is for its new machine. Track Records. To say that INDYCAR is focused maybe even a little obsessed with setting track records with its new car (the IR-28 is what it is called) would be accurate. The Indianapolis 500 qualifying record was set in 1996 by Arie Luyendyk, whose 237.498 mph qualifying lap and 236.986 mph four-lap run have lasted for 30 years. To INDYCAR officials, thats been long enough. And they hope to start breaking track records in 2028, and not only at Indianapolis. "One of the first things [among our goals] was to break track records," INDYCAR SVP Mike Sibla, who oversees the cars development, told me and other reporters last Friday. "Wefelt that was something that we were ready to do. "We felt the technology was there where we could do this safely, responsibly, and it's a good way to really continue the momentum that the sport's under right now." The car, of course, can only do so much when it comes to posting fast speeds. The tires and the weather at the track certainly influence how fast a car can go at any particular time. But what about the 2028 INDYCAR is designed to make it go faster than the current version? Well, it starts with safety. The car, designed by Dallara, has to be safe enough for INDYCAR officials to land on an engine configuration capable of approaching 240 miles an hour on the speedways. The safety elements of the aeroscreen, as well as other safety devices to keep the car from lifting, have been incorporated into the design of the car. That means that the air should flow over the car more seamlessly. INDYCAR and Dallara have worked on the aerodynamics of the car to allow for less dirty air that would impact cars further behind if they are running single file. That has included the shape and endplates of some of the wings. In the simulator, INDYCAR and Dallar put in the data to be able to simulate multiple cars. "Although two cars haven't been on track at the same time, the best science that we can use to determine if the car is going to be a good race car and a raceable car, everything we've seen so far is pointing to that we've made some gains there," said INDYCAR VP Mike OGara, who leads the group working on the new car. The tub has been tested to handle crashes at high speeds. The cockpit is bigger to allow for more padding to protect the driver. And then theres the engine, as INDYCAR goes from a 2.2-liter V-6 engine to a 2.4-liter V-6. The hybrid unit, made by Helix, which was not involved in the current INDYCAR hybrid, wont produce any additional horsepower. But it has 14 times the amount of power storage, meaning the amount of boost the car gets from the hybrid is going to increase dramatically. With the engine regulations finally settled on by INDYCAR, Honda and Chevrolet just a few weeks ago, the target for the engine is 760 horsepower, which is 60-100 more than the current engine. It is expected as they continue to develop the engines that they could reach closer to 800 horsepower. The hybrid and push-to-pass systems can add up to 120 horsepower. The hybrid is about 20 pounds lighter and the gearbox is 25 pounds lighter. Those are the most dramatic changes that bring the car back to approximately 1,700 pounds. That weight is about what it was originally with the current chassis. "You're taking weight out, you're increasing the horsepower, and I think the biggest thing for us, a lot of people will say, OK,safety, that's great, but is it that exciting?" Sibla said. "We wanted to make this car safe so that we could break records. And that's what we've done here." And it could be lighter. After the initial validation tests at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course last weekend and upcoming tests on the IMS oval, a shorter oval and a street course in the next couple of months, INDYCAR will analyze the spec parts and pieces to see if it can take out even more weight from the car. For instance, the aeroscreen was reduced by a few pounds in its latest iteration. "We learn from these initial tests, you know what can be optimized, what can be changed, and that's where you get that weight out," Sibla said. How will the teams tune the car to make it go faster? They used to design and manufacture (or outsource) their own dampers, which are suspension pieces that impact how the car handles. They will no longer be doing that, as the suspension pieces and dampers in this car will be provided by one company (Custom Access). But the options when it comes to those pieces, which ones the teams use and how they are installed are well into the thousands. The wheels will also be different, with a stronger wheel that handles more loads. And the car is designed to potentially evolve with speeds. "Some of the magnesium wheels we have are at the very peak of their stress levels at some of the tracks we run at right now," OGara said. "So, the wheels are more robust, the suspension is going to be more robust. "Thereare also things like we currently aren't going to run brake-by-wire, which is a thing a lot of hybrid race cars run currently. The car is future-proof for it. There's a spot under the sidepod for a brake-by-wire system. Andas the car evolves, as the engines make more power, as the hybrids make more power, then we can introduce some of those other systems." The current testing is being done with an old 2.4-liter engine developed by Ilmor from when INDYCAR was going to change engine packages about four or five years ago. So in these initial tests, they wont know if the car is truly faster. Chevrolet and Honda should get cars early next year. "This engine ... is an older version so you cant really read too much into that," Alexander Rossi said in a video news release following his test Saturday on the IMS road course. "But all in all, its been incredibly smooth and its a joy to drive." What About Power Steering? Maybe one of those most debated issues is whether the cars should have power steering. Many forms of racing have it, but INDYCAR does not. It certainly challenges the drivers and gives it a little bit of gladiator effect. But it has also been cited as a reason few women attempt to go the INDYCAR route. Jamie Chadwick won the 2024 Indy NXT race at Road America and tested an INDYCAR. She cited the physical challenge as one of the reasons that making a move to INDYCAR would have been difficult for her to compete on road courses. OGara said the new car is set up to add more of a "power assist" element that sports cars use but there is no guarantee it will be in the car. "It's not a full hydraulic system like Formula 1 cars run," OGara said. "It's an electric assist system similar to what's been run in sports cars throughout the world. So the system exists. "The car doesn't currently have it. We have some basic testing we're to do without the power assist, and then later in the testing phase, weplan on introducing it. ... We need to test it at a few different places to seeone, if it's needed, and two, where it's needed. Is it a road-course only thing?Dowe require it everywhere or only certain track types? Sothat's going to come with track testing as we run." IN THE NEWS Joe Gibbs Racing withdrew a pivotal allegation against Spire Motorsports and Chirs Gabehart as part of its suit: "A Spire employee has informed a JGR employee that Gabehart is in charge of and/or significantly participating in Spires competition strategy and decisions." Gabehart is prohibited from doing similar work at Spire as he did as JGR competition director, so that would have violated that order. JGR, in a court filing, said after Spire asked for evidence that "it does not possess non-privileged information sufficient to support the allegations." Front Row Motorsports announced Chandler Smith wont return to its truck team next season. His future landing spot has not been announced, but its expected to be in an OReilly car at Richard Childress Racing. Tommy Baldwin, on the podcast "Door Bumper Clear" that he co-hosts, said he has parted ways with Rick Ware Racing. Baldwin was the competition director there. Social Spotlight They Said It "Weve all been waiting for this for a long time. Drivers, fans, teams, sponsors and all of you have been looking forward to it, and now its finally here. Its like Christmas morning." Alexander Rossi after testing the IR-28

One of the greatest rivalries in college football is coming back.On Monday, Notre Dame and USC announced that they will resume their annual rivalry game beginning with the 2030 season. The two schools will play in Los Angeles on Aug. 31, 2030, and the series will then shift to South Bend for Week 1 of the 2031 season.Games in the 2032 and 2033 seasons will also be played as part of the rivalrys renewal, but dates havent been determined yet. They will, however, be played within the first three weeks of those respective seasons.Its great news for college football as a whole and especially for those who care about the historic rivalry that dates back to 1926. The game had been played every season since (except during World War II and the 2020 pandemic) until now. Negotiations between the schools regarding a series extension broke down in December, prompting the official announcement of the series hiatus.But even when talks faltered, both sides reiterated the importance of the rivalry and committed to working toward its eventual return. And, ultimately, USC got its wish with the game moving to the early part of the season.Indianas intention to cancel its home-and-home series with Notre Dame (scheduled for 2030 and 2031) also helped pave the way for the return of the Notre Dame-USC game, a source told NBC Sports. The Athletic first reported the cancelation of the scheduled series between the Irish and Hoosiers.USCs historic rivalry with Notre Dame holds a special place in the history of college football, and we are happy to resume a series that means so much to the entire Trojan Family, USC athletic director Jen Cohen said in a statement. It remains important for us to play this game early in the season, as it allows us to schedule competitively with our Big Ten peers and takes into account the health and best interests of our student-athletes and program.We are excited for our fans, and we look forward to more memorable matchups and unforgettable games between the Trojans and the Irish.The two schools have met 96 times since 1926, with the Irish holding a 53-38-5 all-time edge. The two programs have combined for more national championships, Heisman Trophy winners and NFL draft selections than any other pair of rivals in the sport.The game is undoubtedly important to both programs as evidenced by the outcry from alumni when news of the initial hiatus broke but its also incredibly essential to college football. Typically, the game is one of the biggest of the season, and it has had a major impact on the College Football Playoff in recent years as well.Over the past couple of decades, the sport has lost a number of its best and most heated rivalry games due to conference realignment. Some, like the Backyard Brawl and the Border War, eventually came back as nonconference games. But as college football undergoes transformational change at a rapid pace, its never certain that the sport will retain what it makes it unique. Preserving and prioritizing regional and national rivalries is crucial.Thankfully in this case, Notre Dame and USC did just that. And college football is better for it.

SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA - MAY 28: Kaelon Black #26 of the San Francisco 49ers works out during a team OTA practice at SAP Performance Facility on May 28, 2026 in Santa Clara, California. (Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images) | Getty ImagesThe hits keep coming for the San Francisco 49ers. Wide receiver Mike Evans isnt practicing on Monday due to a quad strain. Rookie running back Kaelon Black has an adductor injury and will also miss Mondays session.Depending on the grade of the strain, Evans could miss anywhere from one week to multiple months. If its a Grade 1 strain, Evans would be sidelined anywhere from 1-to-3 weeks. The problem there is a strain could feel fine early, but a re-tear of the fibers is possible, just as they begin to knit together. Its how these kinds of injuries can go from two weeks to two months. Needless to say, expect the 49ers to be overly cautious with Evans.Black is the second player in as many practices to suffer a groin injury. Again, depending on the grade, Black could miss anywhere from a week or two to a couple of months, depending on whether its a mild strain or a complete rupture.The 49ers have suffered injuries to three of their top four running backs before they made it to the third window of the practice blocks. That explains why they went out and signed Khalil Herbert this weekend.Wide receiver DeZhaun Stribling will continue to sit out with hamstring tightness. Hes day-to-day.Mikail Kamara suffered a torn ACL. He was waived/injured over the weekend.CJ West and Romello Height will practice on Monday.

You can't move without crashing into Odyssey references on the internet right now. But watching the final moments of Sundays SummerSlam weekend, my brain couldn't help but drift into the realm of the ancient Greeks, at least when it comes to Roman Reigns. After scoring an epic victory over his longest-standing rival, the World Heavyweight Champion is left in a position the Hellenic poets would probably recognize: he is the hero in search of a quest.Watching Reigns finally defeat Rollins, it was hard to shake that conclusion. Here is a man who has done it all. Who has recorded perhaps the most dominant reign of any champion this decade. Who has returned to win the Royal Rumble and restore himself to the top perch. And now who has finally claimed the scalp that evaded him for all these years.When WWE chose to crown Reigns as champion this year, we all knew he'd been the face of these big stadium events. But did anyone really think he'd end up delivering the match of the night at two back-to-back stadium shows? Let's not forget what the cynics told us about Reigns: that this was a man who would be going through the motions before finally hanging up his boots and moving to Hollywood.Those doubts began creeping back in again in the run-up to SummerSlam, triggered, in part, by the lethargic build given to the Rollins match over on "WWE Raw." It was a situation that just didn't seem to make sense. Here was a match they'd waited years to do teasing it in multiple Royal Rumbles and WrestleManias and they were letting recycled video packages do most of the talking?In the end, we needn't have worried. Once that bell rang, Reigns and Rollins launched straight into it, throwing absolutely everything into an epic 30-minute slobberknocker that probably topped the main event of this year's WrestleMania. By the end of it, wed seen more near-falls than your average AEW world title match. And we didnt begrudge a single one of them.Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins tore the house down at WWE SummerSlam.WWE via Getty ImagesWho were they trying to impress, I couldnt help but wonder. Given the stakes, my guess is that both men had realized this match billed as the final chapter in the decade-long Shield storyline would end up being a big part of their legacies. There was something genuine in that fist-bump at the end; the moment when Joe Anoa'i and Colby Lopez realized they'd accomplished exactly what they'd set out to do that night.But that was last night. What comes next for Roman Reigns? What storylines are left to tell now that the whole Shield thing has been put to bed? And how do you find a new challenge for the man who has already done everything?We've seen that dilemma come into play already this year, particularly during the months after WrestleMania. At first, it looked like WWE was going to go all-in on the whole Bloodline story, using Roman's new championship run to bring the family back together and revive the glory days of 2023. As predicted, that didn't quite work out. But it did have the unexpected consequence of turning Solo Sikoa into perhaps the most unlikely babyface of the year.After that, WWE reached for its trump card: Reigns vs. Rollins. In truth, it was a match that probably could have taken place at any stadium show (injuries allowing) over the past three years. But it was just the ticket for a "Tribal Chief in search of a statement victory. On that front, it certainly delivered. Not only did he score the biggest win of his current title run, Reigns also finally extinguished the ghosts of his past, making him look stronger than ever.So, what is next for Reigns now thats done? My guess is they'll spend the next six months or so reinforcing his status as the top dog on "Raw," setting up feuds with the likes of Penta and Royce Keys. Given that Reigns has just beaten Punk and Rollins in back-to-back stadium shows, there will be zero chances he loses to any of them.Instead, Reigns should remain unbeaten and carry that belt into next year's SaudiMania. At that point, you can set up what is clearly the biggest money match on the table right now: Roman Reigns vs. Oba Femi. It will instantly be the biggest WrestleMania match in at least three years, and it will lead to a result that will go down in wrestling history: Oba Femi becoming world champion by crushing Roman Reigns.It might seem a strange destiny for a man who has dominated WWE over much of the decade, but it's the right path nonetheless. For 10 years, Reigns has been the man to beat in WWE, and perhaps its dominant champion of the modern era. Let that continue for a little while yet. Then come next April, we'll see if there's anyone who can take it from him.Based on what transpired over this past weekend, I think we have a decent idea who that might be.

Royston Barney-Smith beat Reece Bellotti in Dublin on Saturday [Leigh Dawney / Queensberry]British and Commonwealth super-featherweight champion Royston Barney-Smith has ambitions to "mix it with the best" at 130lbs after an impressive win in Dublin.The 22-year-old from Southampton put on a classy performance on Saturday as he beat Reece Bellotti at the 3Arena on the undercard of Mark Chamberlain's win against Pierce O'Leary. "Sugar Boy Roy" dominated "The Bomber" over 10 rounds, boxing well off the back foot as Bellotti came forward and picking his opponent apart at times with ease. Barney-Smith threatened to end the fight early as he landed a flush right hook in the first round that saw Bellotti momentarily stumble before regaining his feet. After then cruising to a comfortable victory, the southpaw outlined his desire to build on his current streak of momentum, now unbeaten across 17 fights."I want to set records and do things that haven't been done," he told BBC Sport. "I love being the British champion but if a world title opportunity comes up then I would have no issues with taking that kind of fight now."There are some legendary world champions in this division, but I believe that I can mix it with the best and I will be amongst the stars in the future."I'm ranked highly within every organisation now and whatever opportunity comes up I have no problems with it." After victory, Barney-Smith was handed another title to his now six belt collection - the IBO intercontinental belt which is the fifth he has won in the past 10 months. The unbeaten fighter then wasted no time in calling out the current holder of the full IBO 130lbs title, Irishman Jono Carroll who has 26 wins with three defeats."It's a good fight and I've now put myself in a great position for it," Barney-Smith added. "He's either got to fight me or vacate the title, I'd happily have it back in Dublin or we could even fight at the O2 or down in Bournemouth, it doesn't fuss me. "It's a good time to be from the south coast at the moment, there's a number of us all pushing on forward at the moment and we're flying the flag."Barney-Smith chasing 'statement' win over BellottiChamberlain stuns O'Leary with knockout win in Dublin More boxing from the BBC Notifications, social media and more with BBC Sport
