When Sheikh Mansour bought Manchester City 15 years ago, this is what he dreamed of. The seven Premier League titles, three FA Cups and six League Cups are an essential part of what City has become, but the Champions League was always the target. After repeated near misses and increasingly absurd exits, Saturday, if all goes to form, will mark not only the culmination of the quest for European glory but also only the second treble in English history.

Deion Sanders doesn’t have one second of time to care about Pat Narduzzi’s complaints.
The Pittsburgh Panthers football coach fired some unprovoked shots at the Colorado leader’s use of the transfer portal.
Deion Sanders tore Colorado down to the studs and brought in a bunch of new players amid a massive rebuild. The Buffaloes went 1-11 in 2022, and Sanders needed to take drastic measures. That hasn’t sat well with the Pitt coach.
Narduzzi previously told Brandon Marcello, “That’s not the way it’s meant to be. That’s not what the (transfer portal) rule intended to be.
