The places of Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Champions League are in danger because of the scandal of Luis Rubiales. The Spanish FA has asked European governing body UEFA to consider banning clubs over the Spanish government’s interference in the ongoing World Cup ‘Kiss-Gate’ saga.

The request was made by the right wing of Rubiales, Andreu Camps, who has “opened a war” against their government, as the latter have demanded the resignation of Rubiales. Camps defended the president, arguing that with these calls the government is interfering in the Federation and this is strictly forbidden by UEFA and FIFA. And this threat does not only endanger Real Madrid or Barcelona, ​​but also Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad), the Europa League (Villarreal and Real Betis) and the Europa Conference League (Osasuna).

Meanwhile, as Luis Rubiales refuses to resign, the local media write that the fact that UEFA has not yet spoken about this scandal is because their president Alexander Ceferin is very close friends with the head of the Spanish Federation. Consequently, it is easy to understand that UEFA has no plans to take action against the Spanish teams, at least not at the moment.

Oleksandr Usyk has defended the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO heavyweight titles, knocking out Daniel Dubois in the ninth round.

The Ukrainian and the Briton started the match as a heavyweight duel should, showing composure and composure in the first round.

In the second round, the two boxers each had a shot, while Dubois looked more unsure in the ring.

The third round was dominated by Usyk, who landed direct jabs while the Brit aimed for uppercuts.

In the fourth round, there was an initiative from the 25-year-old, who launched several precise shots against the Ukrainian, but not to cause him problems.

The fifth round was more devastating for Usyk, as he took a kick below the belt from Dubois, which of course was unintentional, while the Ukrainian lay in the ring and the referee gave him time to recover.

Despite conceding the blow below the belt, Usyk landed several straight punches at the Briton, giving signals that he had taken over and was aiming to secure the victory as soon as possible.

The sixth round brought more movement from the two boxers, who landed blows in succession, but neither of them rocked one or the other.

The following round started frantically by Dubois, who delivered powerful blows to Usyk, but the latter managed to come back at the end and show his toughness.

The ninth round was the deciding point for Usyk, as in the remaining seconds he managed to drop the 25-year-old Briton to his knees, with the referee counting to nine. Usyk managed to defend his WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO heavyweight titles in this round, with Dubois unable to continue the fight.

There is a surprise in the first game of the season in the Superior Category. Skanderbeg beat Egnatia 1-0 in Rrogozhin causing a strong shake to the team built to win the championship title.

A very hard-fought match at “Egnatia Arena” where the only goal of the challenge came from the bench. Newcomer to the game, Juri gave the right to coach Ivan Gvozdenovic, who can celebrate this success with the Korça team almost 12 months after returning to the Super League.

On the other side, Egnatia has a negative start but this is only the beginning of the season and Edlir Tetova and his team still have a long way to go.
