President Donald Trump confirmed Sunday that Baghdadi, an Iraqi national believed to be in his late 40s, died on Saturday during a U.S. special forces raid in the rebel-held Syrian province Idlib in the northwest of the country. U.S. forces reportedly cornered Baghdadi in a tunnel, at which point he detonated a suicide vest killing himself and three young children. Baghdadi was the world’s most wanted terrorist for several years, having helmed ISIS as it rapidly expanded across Iraq and Syria, carving out a so-called caliphate that was some 34,000 square miles at its largest extent....

The recent splash addresses two massive needs for this team. But while Jackson adds a special weapon for coach Jay Gruden's offensive repertoire, the Clark signing by no means shuts the door on further major upgrades to this secondary. Now that Washington has added a complement out wide for Pierre Garcon, the primary focus for the Redskins' first selection — unless a stud offensive lineman plummets to Round 2 — should shift to defense....

Bayern Munich secured a thumping 20-2 win over Rottach-Egern in a friendly on Wednesday night. Robert Lewandowski, Sandro Wagner, Maximilian Franzke and Kingsley Coman all netted hat-tricks and were among 10 different players to get on the scoresheet for the German side. One notable absentee from the one-sided clash was the centre-back, Jerome Boateng. Boateng has been attributed with a lot of interest from the big boys in Europe, including from Premier League giants Manchester United....

Legendary Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, normally such an assured presence at the back, produced a huge blunder to give Spain the lead over Italy in their World Cup qualifier on Thursday. With the game level at 0-0 in the second half, Buffon came off his line to cut out a pass and completely whiffed on his clearance, leaving an empty net for Vitolo. Daniele De Rossi would go on to score a late penalty kick to earn Italy a 1-1 draw....

‘Wenger will have a big job lined up’ The New York City star was initially shown a yellow card after making contact with the face of Houston Dynamo defender A.J. DeLaGarza on Saturday.

But after leaving the pitch to review the footage, the match official returned and called Villa over before showing him a red card....

Pogba happy with Griezmann at City Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum made a trip to Madrid to visit Atletico Madrid star, and basketball enthusiast, Antoine Griezmann to shoot some hoops. While doing so, Griezmann quizzed McCollum on some of his peers’ habits on the court in NBA. The result was fantastic. Greizmann – who was tipped to join Manchester United before signing a new contract with Atletico – has also been enjoying his off-season in the United States....

On the eighth anniversary of Conor McGregor’s UFC debut, ESPN MMA posted a short clip of his first-ever walk to the UFC Octagon. McGregor walked into the arena holding the Irish national flag with his trademark swagger. The Irishman is one of the few combat sports athletes that make all three aspects of a fight memorable - the walkout, the post-fight formalities, and the performance itself. Conor McGregor was a sensational knockout artist in Cage Warriors before signing with the UFC....

Chinese Super League side Guangzhou Evergrande ran rampant over Hong Kong Premier League’s Eastern in the group stage contest by a 7-0 margin, with Brazilians Alan and Paulinho each picking up an impressive goal in the rout.

In the first half of the Tuzos’ quarterfinal against Necaxa, the goalkeeper had a clean read on a long shot from Fernando Gallegos. The 43-year-old looked to have it totally under control, but after palming the ball down Perez could only watch as it went off his legs and into his own net for the opening goal. Pachuca found an equalizer, but Perez was beaten again (this time by a more traditional shot from Claudio Riano) as the home side took a 2-1 victory....

Boyd, making his third straight start for Darmstadt after a January transfer from RB Leipzig, scored 20 minutes into his side’s Bundesliga match against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday. The goal helped Darmstadt to a massive 2-1 win over Dortmund, in a game that also saw Boyd’s international teammate Christian Pulisic play the full match. The U.S. international striker tore his ACL in December 2014, and suffered various setbacks in his recovery....

With the interview room at Baltimore’s M&T Bank Stadium nearly empty (the reason why isn’t exactly clear), Savage fuflilled his obligation by walking to the podium. Then he walked right out. Savage was under center for Houston’s 23-16 loss to the Ravens, which dropped the Texans to 4-7. He completed 22 of 37 passes for 252 yards, but he also threw two interceptions, lost a fumble and was sacked twice....

It is currently unclear where exactly in Ukraine the images were filmed, but they were obtained from the 40th Separate Artillery Brigade of the Ukrainian Ground Forces on the morning of Saturday. The images, which appear to have been sped up, apparently show Russian vehicles going to and from a building, which is then targeted by Ukraine, with black smoke gushing into the sky as the vehicles and the building are hit....

It is unclear where exactly in Ukraine the images were filmed, but the footage was obtained Monday from the Command of the Special Operations Forces (SSO) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who said: “First of all, it’s beautiful. But above all, it’s necessary.” They added: “It is no secret that enemy artillery has an advantage over ours. Therefore, it is always a priority goal of Ukrainian soldiers. And especially when it comes to large caliber systems....

The 40-year-old has been sidelined since last year’s Wimbledon, prompting his fans to scour the internet for old videos of their idol. One Federer fan posted a video of the Swiss that dates back to 2015. The footage begins with Federer hitting a backhand from way behind the baseline. Analyzing the shot, the Swiss maestro said he was not impressed, as it felt like a pusher’s shot back then. He then expressed surprise and happiness at seeing Chiudinelli in the video, remarking that they played each other on the junior circuit quite often....
