Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen sets sights on Real Madrid star.

The powers that be at Bundesliga heavyweights Bayer Leverkusen have identified an emerging defensive player from Real Madrid as a summer target.

That's according to the German newspaper Sport Bild.

Is Xabi Alonso and his team looking for real talent? Rafael Marín.

Marín, a 21-year-old center defender, has spent the season on loan at La Liga club Alavés.

The Spaniard has established himself as an important member of Alavés' backline, and his performances have long earned plaudits in both his native country and throughout Europe.

According to media rumors, Marín is prepared to join Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid first-team squad next season.

Only a few days later, however, it was confirmed that the stopper had found his way onto the radar of a prominent European club.

According to Bild, Bayer Leverkusen, the recently crowned German champions, have identified Marín as a top target for one of the club's central defenders who are expected to leave in the summer.

According to reports, Real Madrid would only allow its youth players to leave on loan or in a permanent contract with a buyback option.

It remains to be seen whether one of these options will appeal to the BayArena brass.

Thierry Henry was denied a joyful homecoming as France was defeated by gold medal winners Spain.

Exactly 36 years after Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Lawrie Sanchez, and others ripped up the rulebook to propel Bobby Gould's Wimbledon to a storied FA Cup victory, Thierry Henry's France fell agonisingly short of capturing an emotional Olympic gold medal in front of a sold-out Parc des Princes in Paris. Henry, who gave his young French team the nickname the 'Crazy Ones' due to their fun-loving nature, won nearly everything as a player, and despite the stars appearing to align for a historic gold medal on home turf, the Arsenal legend was overshadowed by Santi Denia's slick Spaniards in a dramatic 5-3 extra-time defeat. Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano was their unexpected late nemesis, dunking French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes with 100 minutes on the clock to startle a stunned capacity crowd. And he delivered a virtual carbon copy of that finish with the game's final kick, charging in on goal as the French flung bodies forward to slot past Restes and cruelly ...

🏅Mateta shines as France defeats Egypt, securing a gold medal clash with Spain.

On Monday night, France hosted two Olympic semi-finals. This is what occurred. France advances to the final following a fierce clash with Egypt. In a tense contest, France rallied from a 1-0 deficit to defeat Egypt 2-1 in extra time. After a poor start, France improved just before the interval, with Loïc Badé hitting the post after Joris Chotard's pass. Alexandre Lacazette had a golden opportunity to score in the second half, but he hesitated and ultimately missed the shot. After absorbing all of France's pressure, Egypt proceeded to the other end, where Mahmoud Saber smashed a powerful attempt into the roof of the net. The goal ignited the game, and Hamza Alaa made a wonderful save on a Jean-Philippe Mateta header. France then hit the post twice in quick succession, with Lacazette's shot and Badé's follow-up hitting the woodwork. Les Bleus equalised thanks to a brilliantly weighted ball from Michael Olise, which Mateta converted decisively. France requested for ...
