Real Madrid's Luka Modric has made an unexpected decision to become a minority owner of Swansea.

Croatian midfielder's player career will not be hampered by the ownership shift. Unexpected decision: Luka Modric has taken his first move into football ownership. Luka Modric, a Real Madrid legend, is set to become a new minority owner of Swansea City. The Croatian, who turns 40 in September, is acquiring a non-controlling interest in the Welsh club. Modric's stake purchase will have no impact on his playing career, as he will continue to play for Real Madrid. He is out of contract with Loc Blancos this summer, but he wants to retire with Real and may extend his stay at the Bernabeu for another year if an agreement can be reached. It comes as a surprise that he has opted to buy a minority share in Swansea, who are currently 12th in the Championship. The move shows Modric, the 2018 Ballon d'Or winner, is setting the groundwork for his post-playing career. Swansea's eight-year ownership by Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan ended in November when they sold their co...

Kylian Mbappe is not permitted to attend Real Madrid's derby match against Atletico Madrid.

On Sunday, Real Madrid will play its first Madrid derby of the season at the Metropolitano. They will be without Kylian Mbappe for the matchup because he will be out for the next three weeks due to a thigh injury he acquired in the midweek triumph against Alaves.

Mbappe, who had expressed a desire to be present in person, will instead watch the game from home, according to L'Equipe. Real Madrid, however, has advised him to avoid the area due to potential security lapses, which would not ensure his safety at the Metropolitano.

In recent years, there have been incidents between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid fans, and the former always creates a heated environment when their hated rivals visit town. Los Blancos officials do not want to risk any issues with Mbappe, thus they have declined his request to attend the match with his teammates.

It would be intriguing to see how Real Madrid performs without Mbappe, especially because Carlo Ancelotti is likely to return to the method he used last season.

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 ...
