Flamengo beat Chelsea 3-1, guaranteed Brazilian supremacy over European clubs, and also secured a spot in the round of 16 in advance.

The result put an end to the "good phase" of South American teams against European teams, who achieved their first victory in a direct confrontation.
🥳 Miami turned into La Boca
Yes, Boca Juniors lost to Bayern on the field, but in the stands, they put on a show.
Even more so after Merentiel's great goal, which momentarily tied the game.
The Hard Rock Stadium had the entire "aura" of La Bombonera.
There was even a gringo who "couldn't handle" the noise of the xeneize fans and covered his ears!

Miami Hurricanes Potential Playoff Berth in 2025 Hinges on Just one Player
Miami Hurricanes Potential Playoff Berth in 2025 Hinges on Just one Player originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Miami Hurricanes defense, specifically their pass defense, failed not only coach Mario Cristobal, but they also failed the fans by missing a chance to win the ACC title and earn a berth in the expanded college football playoff in 2024. Advertisement But Cristobal addressed that issue in this offseason by raiding the transfer portal for talented players that can defend against the pass. According to Carter Bahns of the one player that is the x-factor for the Hurricanes to make the playoffs this season is, surprisingly, transfer cornerback Xavier Lucas. Lucas recorded just one INT to go with 18 tackles and two pass breakups at Wisconsin a season ago. Wisconsin Badgers cornerback Xavier Lucas (6) celebrates with cornerback Max Lofy (12) following an Hanisch-USA TODAY Sport With that said, the x-factor is not Lucas at all. That moniker should fall squarely on the shoulders (and the surgically repaired throwing elbow) of former Georgia quarterback Carson Beck. Advertisement Beck passed for over 3,400-yards a season ago. He also threw 12 interceptions, eight of which were thrown over three consecutive games. Beck transferred after suffering the season-ending elbow injury. Then, Miami swooped in with millions and lured Beck to Florida. After an offseason of injury rehab and way-too-many distractions, Beck must step up and show what he can do at the most important position on the field during fall camp and during the season. Anything less than a conference championship and a playoff berth in 2025 will be a bust for the Hurricanes.

Patrick Walden death: Pete Doherty pays tribute after Babyshambles guitarist dies aged 46
Babyshambles guitarist Patrick Walden has died aged 46. News of his death was announced on the rock group's social media page on Friday night (20 June). 'It is with deep regret and sadness that we share the news of Patrick Walden's death,' the band wrote. 'We feel very fortunate to have known, loved and worked with him and we kindly ask for respect and privacy during these difficult times. Peter, Drew, Mik, Adam.' Pete Doherty, who once called Walden 'the best guitar player I've ever worked with', reshared the post to his personal social media page. The indie rock band was formed by lead singer Doherty in 2003 during his hiatus from The Libertines on account of his drug use. His new group – made up of himself as frontman, drummer Gemma Clarke, Walden on guitar and Drew McConnell on bass – released hits including 'Kilamangiro', 'Delivery' and 'The Blinding'. Babyshambles were known for lyrics that touched on topics such as drug addiction, heartbreak, and isolation. The band remained active until 2014. Walden, however, left early in its tenure around 2005. While Walden continued to show up at several Babyshambles gigs following his official exit, issues with drug use halted his return. Walden co-wrote many of the band's most successful songs, including six of the 16 tracks on the band's 2005 debut album, Down in Albion, such as 'The Man Who Came to Stay'. Tributes poured in on social media for the late musician, with one fan writing: 'The best guitarist of my generation. Nobody's sounded as good since Asheton in the Stooges.' Fellow indie band, The Paddingtons, added: 'You're gonna be missed Pat, best guitarist we ever met, one of the good guys. Rest in peace mate.' One fan recounted a memorable exchange with the musician, writing: 'I'm devastated by this news. Pat was a kind soul. I remember his kind words and how he helped me after I was assaulted in Camden. An incredible musician. My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.' 'He was an absolute legend and a huge part of the iconic sound of the first album and gigs around that time I was really hoping he would be part of the reunion absolutely devastating news,' said someone else. Doherty is due to perform with The Libertines on Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage in a week's time. The group's current members include Doherty, McConnell, Mick Withnall, and Adam Ficek.
