Mbappe out of second Real Madrid Club World Cup clash
PALM BEACH GARDENS, UNITED STATES: Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappe did not travel to Charlotte for the team's Club World Cup match against Pachuca, but could be back for the final group stage game, coach Xabi Alonso said on Saturday. The French superstar was taken to hospital on Thursday for tests and treatment after suffering gastroenteritis, before later being released. Mbappe is improving "bit by bit" a club source told AFP, but he did not fly with his team-mates for Sunday's match against Mexican side Pachuca. Real coach Xabi Alonso addressed the striker's condition during his pre-match press conference. "He's doing better, he's back from the hospital and is recovering. We're optimistic about having him against Salzburg," he said. Madrid face Salzburg in the final game of Group H on Thursday in Philadelphia. The 26-year-old missed the opening game with the same illness as Madrid were held 1-1 by Al-Hilal in Xabi Alonso's debut as coach. Madrid B-team player Gonzalo Garcia, 21, started in Mbappe's stead and opened the scoring for Real Madrid against their Saudi Arabian opponents. Alonso indicated that Gonzalo would again deputise for the Frenchman. "Gonzalo can do what he did the other day. He scored a goal and had three chances. Looking ahead, we'll see what happens. Having players with that sense of smell is very important. He did very well," he said. Mbappe finished as the European Golden Shoe winner in his first season at Real Madrid with 31 goals in La Liga and 43 across all competitions, but Los Blancos finished the season without a major trophy.

Rugby-France XV fight back to secure 26-24 win over England XV
FILE PHOTO: Rugby Union - Six Nations Championship - Italy v France - Stadio Olimpico, Rome, Italy - February 23, 2025 France's Romain Taofifenua celebrates after the match REUTERS/Remo Casilli/File Photo LONDON (Reuters) -A try after the hooter by Romain Taofifenua gave France XV a 26-24 victory over their English counterparts in a non-cap match at Twickenham on Saturday, as winger Immanuel Feyi-Waboso made a disappointing return from injury. Taofifenua burrowed over the try-line after England had led 24-12 with five minutes remaining but could not keep the visitors at bay in a game featuring four tries and a red card for each side. The match served as a warm-up for England's tour of Argentina and the United States, while France are preparing for three tests in New Zealand next month. France scored two early tries as hooker Gaetan Barlot crossed in the corner after breaking away from a driving maul, and lock Hugo Auradou burst into the England 22 after the visitors turned the ball over at the breakdown. England grew into the game, however, and after incessant pressure in the French 22, number eight Tom Willis scored in the corner before lock Alex Coles took a pop-pass from centre Seb Atkinson to cross the line. Feyi-Waboso, playing his first game since December after recovering from an injury, made two simple handling errors before receiving a 30-minute red card just past the half-hour mark. He was penalised for a high tackle as his arm struck the head of French flyhalf Antoine Hastoy. Initially a yellow card, it was upgraded to red on bunker review. Despite their numerical disadvantage, England led 19-12 at halftime when another strong carry from Atkinson broke the French defensive line and his pass to Joe Carpenter set up another try. Following a red card for French forward Cameron Woki, upgraded from yellow on bunker review, England added a fourth try when replacement loose-forward Alex Dombrandt went over in the corner. France had the advantage in the forwards, however, and powered over for two more tries with Taofifenua's effort converted by Hastoy to secure victory for the French.

Paris Olympic Balloon Returns as Summer Sky Attraction
A GIANT balloon that became a popular landmark over the skies of Paris during the 2024 Olympics is set to rise again, with organisers hoping it will once again attract crowds of tourists. During the Games, the Olympic cauldron tethered to a balloon flew above the Tuileries garden at sunset every day, with thousands flocking to see the seven-metre (23 feet) wide ring of electric fire. Last summer's version 'had been thought up to last for the length of the Olympic and Paralympic Games,' said Mathieu Lehanneur, the designer of the cauldron. After President Emmanuel Macron 'decided to bring it back, all of the technical aspects needed to be reviewed', he told AFP on Thursday. Lehanneur said he was 'very moved' that the Olympic balloon was making a comeback. 'The worst thing would have been for this memory to become a sitting relic that couldn't fly anymore,' he said. The new cauldron will take to the skies on Saturday evening during France's annual street music festival, the Fete de la Musique. The balloon will rise into the air every evening until September 14 -- a summer tradition set to return every year until the 2028 Los Angeles Games. 'For its revival, we needed to make sure it changed as little as possible and that everything that did change was not visible,' said Lehanneur. With a decarbonated fire patented by French energy giant EDF, the upgraded balloon follows 'the same technical principles' as its previous version, said director of innovation at EDF Julien Villeret. The improved attraction 'will last ten times longer' and be able to function for '300 days instead of 30', according to Villeret. The creators of the balloon also reinforced the light-and-mist system that 'makes the flames dance', he said. Under the cauldron, a machine room hides cables, a compressor and a hydro-electric winch. That system will 'hold back the helium balloon when it rises and pull it down during descent', said Jerome Giacomoni, president of the Aerophile group that constructed the balloon. 'Filled with 6,200 m3 of helium that is lighter than air,' the Olympic balloon 'will be able to lift around three tonnes' of cauldron, cables and attached parts, he said. The Tuileries garden is where French inventor Jacques Charles took flight in his first gas balloon on December 1, 1783, Giacomoni added. He followed in the footsteps of the famed Montgolfier brothers, who had just nine days earlier elsewhere in Paris managed to launch a similar balloon into the sky with humans onboard. The website is to display the times when the modern-day balloon will rise and indicate any potential cancellations due to weather conditions.
