Tuchel’s two-year tenure at Signal Iduna Park came to an end on Tuesday despite leading Dortmund to the DFB-Pokal for the first time in five seasons, ending a run of three successive final defeats.

His English Premier League career began at age 16 and he won five Premier League titles, a Champions League and became England’s all-time leading scorer before playing in the USA and managing Derby. But the off-field topics over the course of Rooney’s career are just as compelling....

Los Blancos were caught out by a swift Villarreal counter-attack in the 87th minute, with Pablo Fornals’ clever chip sealing the visitors’ first LaLiga win at the Santiago Bernabeu. It compounded a frustrating outing for Madrid, who saw Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo denied strong first-half penalty shouts, while the latter missed a one-on-one as part of a dominant opening 45 minutes. Madrid have now won just once in five league outings and will be 19 points adrift of leaders Barcelona if their Clasico rivals beat Real Sociedad on Sunday....

In blizzard-esque conditions at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field, the Lions used a timeout to clear snow off the field before David Akers' fourth-quarter PAT.
