SAARBRUECKEN, Germany (AP) — Bayern Munich crashed out of the German Cup in a 2-1 loss to third-division Saarbruecken on Wednesday as coach Thomas Tuchel said defender Matthijs de Ligt suffered a “very painful” knee injury ahead of the weekend’s “Klassiker” against Borussia Dortmund.Bayern seemed set to cruise through the second-round game when Thomas Müller opened the scoring in the 16th minute but Saarbruecken leveled just before halftime and Marcel Gaus won the game with a deflected shot in the sixth minute of stoppage time. The final whistle sparked jubilation for Saarbruecken, whose substitutes and staff ran onto the field to celebrate in a huddle with the team.Dutch defender de Ligt went off in the 24th minute. The only other specialist center backs in Bayern’s first-team squad are Kim Min-jae and Dayot Upamecano, who has missed the last month with a hamstring injury. That meant midfielder Joshua Kimmich dropping back to partner Kim in defense.Bayern coach Tuchel s...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:31:32 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — In a closing argument, a prosecutor told New York jurors Wednesday to follow overwhelming evidence of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried ‘s “pyramid of deceit” to find him guilty of defrauding customers and investors of at least $10 billion while a defense lawyer said prosecutors were unfairly portraying an honest entrepreneur as a monster.Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicolas Roos launched a day of closings in Manhattan federal court by saying Bankman-Fried was to blame for stealing billions of dollars from investors worldwide. Bankman-Fried insisted during four days of testimony that he didn’t know his customers’ deposits were in such danger until weeks before his companies collapsed.“He told a story and he lied to you,” Roos told jurors a day after Bankman-Fried concluded his testimony at the monthlong trial.The prosecutor said Bankman-Fried wanted jurors to believe that he had no idea what was happening at his companies or that there was fraud, but his tes...

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Bryce Young has been making steady progress for the Carolina Panthers, resulting in his first NFL victory this past Sunday.Coach Frank Reich believes Young’s production will improve dramatically moving forward if the Panthers can do a better job of protecting their franchise QB.“Absolutely I think his ceiling goes further up,” Reich said.The No. 1 overall pick continues to face plenty of pressure. He has been sacked 22 times in six starts for the Panthers (1-6), including six in Sunday’s 15-13 victory over Houston. It marked the fourth time in six games that Young has been sacked four or more times.Reich called Sunday’s performance unacceptable, adding “that was just too many sacks.”Reich said after the game he initially thought Young held on to the ball too long on a couple of plays against the Texans, but changed his mind after watching game film.“There was nowhere to get it out,” said Reich, a former NFL quarterback. “The one or two times I thought he...
