Resumen Completo

Real Madrid beat Benfica 1-0 in the Champions League play-off first leg on February 17, thanks to Vinícius Júnior's 50th-minute goal at Estádio da Luz. Tensions boiled over when Vinícius and Kylian Mbappé accused Benfica's 20-year-old forward Gianluca Prestianni of yelling 'mono,' a racist slur, prompting a 10-minute stoppage under FIFA's anti-racism protocol. Prestianni denies it, admitting to a homophobic slur instead, while Benfica claims Real players retaliated with insults like 'mono blanco' and has submitted lip-reading evidence to UEFA's ongoing probe. The second leg is set for February 25 in Madrid, with potential bans looming.

Punto Clave

Vinícius Júnior curled in a stunning winner, but a tunnel brawl stole the show, with both sides accusing each other of ugly slurs.

In a February 20, 2026 video tied to Black History Month events, Johnson said the challenges in Chicago's demolished Cabrini-Green housing complex link to global poverty spots like Soweto in South Africa and Brazil's favelas. Critics, including journalist Corey Walker whose response gained over 6,800 likes, rejected the idea, stressing shared American experiences over global ties amid local issues like high crime, over 500 homicides in 2025, and $1 billion spent sheltering 40,000 migrants since 2022. Defenders pointed to histories of colonialism and racism, but the comments spotlight tensions between local priorities and diaspora solidarity in Black communities, as Johnson's approval sits at historic lows of 14-31%.

Punto Clave

Mayor Brandon Johnson drew a line from Chicago's Cabrini-Green to Soweto's hardships and Brazil's favelas, highlighting what he sees as connected struggles.

Resumen Completo

During the Super 12 match on October 23, 2022, at Melbourne Cricket Ground, Pakistan set 159/8 with Iftikhar's 51 and Shan Masood's unbeaten 52, but India chased it down by four wickets thanks to Kohli's unbeaten 82 off 53 balls. In Rauf's 19th over, with 16 needed off 12, Kohli smashed two sixes off length balls after Iftikhar repeatedly advised yorkers from the boundary, believing the longer square boundaries made them ideal. Iftikhar later shared in a podcast that Rauf had his own mind, joking he'd have earned Man of the Match against India if they won, while Kohli took the award for his chase-masterclass knock.

Punto Clave

In the tense final overs of Pakistan's 2022 T20 World Cup clash with India, Iftikhar Ahmed raced in from the boundary after every ball, urging Haris Rauf to bowl yorkers at Virat Kohli—but Rauf stuck to his plan.

Resumen Completo

Bukayo Saka opened the scoring early with a header from Martinelli's lay-off, and Piero Hincapie made it 2-0 soon after halftime, but Hugo Bueno pulled one back and debutant Tom Edozie leveled in the 90+4th minute via Riccardo Calafiori's own goal. Martinelli assisted the opener and had chances, yet drew ire for heavy touches, poor passes, and no further impact, with fans calling his play stagnant and lacking killer instinct. The draw cuts Arsenal's lead over Manchester City to five points ahead of the North London derby, as Declan Rice showed his fury by ripping off his shirt at full time.

Punto Clave

Arsenal raced to a 2-0 lead at Molineux, only for a second-half meltdown to hand Wolves a dramatic equalizer in stoppage time. Fans turned their frustration squarely on Gabriel Martinelli's shaky display.
