<p>Leonardo also added that PSG's goal is to extend Mbappe's stay with the club and if he wants to leave the club it should be on their terms.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Kylian Mbappé feels like leaving, this seems clear to me … Our goal is to extend and keep him. If a player wants to leave it must be under our terms. This applies not just to Kylian but to all players.”</p>

<p>While talks were rife that Ronaldo was set to be acquired by Manchester City, after he made it clear that he isn't willing to stay in Juventus despite his contract ending in less than 12 months, the Cityzens backed out in the last minute from the negotiations and made him eligible to be signed by Manchester United.

<p>As per early estimates, he will be paid a salary of £480,000 a week. The 36-year-old, who is on the last leg of his career, is now returning to his former club which made him a household name during his six-year deal with the Red Devils.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Yesterday Cristiano told me that he no longer plans to play for Juventus," he told a news conference.</p>

<p>"This is why he will not be called up tomorrow. He did not train yesterday. He told his team mates this morning. I am not surprised at anything, in football there is the market and there are the needs of individuals.</p>

<p>"Extremely proud of Bhavina`s effort, very sincere preparation. Kudos to her consistent practice and focus on training. Very calm when she is competing. Even the loss in the first match did not make her lose wits around her. She takes on pressure so beautifully," said President of Paralympic Committee of India (PCI) Deepa Malik.</p>

<p>"Mental training and skill together have been her arsenal to keep winning. She confirms the slot in the medal position but we want to see a brighter medal. We are so proud of her, confirming the first medal for the country. I am so proud of Bhavina and excited for tomorrow`s match," added the PCI President.</p>

<p>Sachin Tendulkar and many others in the cricketing fraternity remembered legend Donald Bradman on his birth anniversary on Friday.</p>

<p>Counted as the greatest Test batsman of all time, no other player from any other generation has been able to match up to his records and achievements in red-ball cricket till date. His legacy lives on more than five decades after he retired from Test cricket.</p>

<p>"The folklore of Sir Don Bradman`s batting genius is synonymous with excellence in sports. You will continue to inspire sports women and men forever. Thinking of you, Sir Don on your birth anniversary," Sachin Tendulkar tweeted while sharing a photo with Bradman.</p>

<p>Bradman scored 6,996 runs in 52 Test matches between 1928-48 at an average of 99.94. No batsman has come close to matching his average over a prolonged career. He was out without scoring in his final innings at The Oval against England when he needed only four runs to lift his career average to 100 runs per innings.</p>

<p>"29 centuries in 52 Test matches, at an average of 99.94. Sir Donald Bradman, forever unrivalled, born on this day in 1908," ICC tweeted. Overall, Bradman represented Australia in 52 Tests and walked to out bat on 80 occasions. He finished his career with 29 centuries and 13 fifties under his name. He also gathered 28,067 runs in First-Class cricket.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Star Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat on Friday said she does not have much time to grieve over her Tokyo Games debacle and is gearing up for future challenges while young Anshu Malik suggested that a sports psychologist should be attached with the team to help them overcome nerves at big stage like the Olympics.</p>

<p>The athletes spoke during a programme where Tata Motors and Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) announced extension of their partnership till the 2024 Olympics. When Vinesh was asked about her experience in Tokyo where she made a shock quarterfinal exit, she said she "learnt a lot".</p>

<p>"It was my second Olympics. In my first Olympics, I got injured and now I suffered defeat and I would accept that. I will work over the weaknesses before the upcoming competitions."</p>

<p>"At the senior level we don't have enough time to grieve over a defeat, because the next Olympics is approaching and there are back-to-back competitions. It's one thing to reach on top but to stay on top is challenging," said Vinesh, who was suspended by WFI for indiscipline in Tokyo but later let off with a warning. The 26-year-old from Balali village in Haryana, said she even learnt from her juniors who were in Tokyo.</p>

<p>"We (Anshu and Sonam) went together this time and I wish that we qualify in all wight categories the next time and give our best the Olympics, Worlds and Commonwealth and other championships."</p>

<p>When talented Anshu, who is rising fast from the junior ranks, asked what is it that she feels is needed in terms of support, the 19-year-old from Nidani mentioned the services of a psychologist.</p>

<p>"There are a lot of facilities now, compared to past but sometimes you get nervous like Olympics is a big stage. If someone can interact with us, like a psychologist, that will be better," she said.</p>

<p>Listening to this, WFI President Brijbhushan Sharan Singh admitted that the Indian team needs to have two psychologists travelling with them all the time. Bajrang Punia, who won a bronze in the 65kg category, was asked what goes through the mind of the wrestlers when they trail in a about and don't have much time left to recover.</p>

<p>"We have only a split second second to decide which move we need to make. There is no time to look at the scoreboard. All we need is to execute the moves that we have practised during the training," he said.</p>

<p>Ravi Dahiya echoed the same, saying, "there is a certain mindset with which we go on the mat. We are just focussed on executing the strategy, nothing else." Talking about injuries and rehabilitation, Vinesh said it is important to stay "calm and patient".</p>

<p>"You need to stay away from negative thoughts. The fear of injury resurfacing remains in mind and you have to surround yourself with positive people. Self belief is paramount."</p>

<p>The WFI boss urged Tata Motors officials to consider developing a facility around Delhi for managing injuries of the wrestlers.</p>

'Learnt a lot': Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat on Tokyo Olympics debacle

<p>Indian wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant was asked to take off the taping between the fourth and fifth finger of his keeping glove on day two of the third Test between England and India. The incident happened shortly before the start of the final session of the day.<br />
<br />
The MCC laws do not permit wicketkeepers to tape the fourth and fifth fingers on the glove. Umpire Alex Wharf was in conversation with Pant along with captain Virat Kohli. After that, Pant along with Kohli started to remove the brown taping from the gloves with third umpire Richard Kettleborough watching on.<br />
<br />
Law 27.2.1 of MCC Laws of cricket says, "If, as permitted under 27.1, the wicketkeeper wears gloves, they shall have no webbing between the fingers except joining index finger and thumb, where webbing may be inserted as a means of support."<br />
<br />
Former England captain Nasser Hussain, who was on commentary duties at that time, offered an explanation for the happenings on the field.<br />
<br />
"There`s a lot in the laws of the game about the webbing, but we`re hearing from the third umpire, Richard Illingworth, that he wasn`t allowed and he`s not allowed to tape his gloves like that, so they`ve asked him to take that tape off."<br />
<br />
His co-commentator David Lloyd asked for Dawid Malan to be recalled as Pant had taken his catch off Mohammed Siraj with the taping on the gloves. But there is nothing in the laws of the game that could reverse Malan`s dismissal on 70 in the 94th over.<br />
<br />
At stumps on day two, England were 423/8 and lead by 345 runs with Craig Overton (24 not out) and Ollie Robinson (zero not out) at the crease.</p>

Kuldeep Yadav, who was returning after his international duty against Sri Lanka along with Nitish Rana, Varun Chakravarthy, and Sandeep Warrier said, "Break is something that`s good for a team, especially because we didn`t have the momentum in the first half.

IPL 2021: Kolkata Knight Riders depart for Abu Dhabi

<p>Team India went ahead with the same playing XI in the third Test that brought them glory at Lord's. The Men in Blue decided to sit Ashwin out despite being aware of the nature of the Headingley surface.</p>

<p>However, India could not build on their confidence and had a disappointing outing as they were bowled out for 78 runs. Now, former Pakistan captain Salman Butt said India must rotate their players in the ongoing series in England in order to avoid fatigue.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“I feel Team India must start rotating their players,” Butt said on his YouTube channel.</p>

<p>“Team India plays a lot of cricket and their schedule is completely cramped. When you play too much cricket, no matter how good or professional you are, as a human, sometimes the mind just doesn’t respond. When your focus level falls, your output is bound to decrease,” he said.</p>

<p>“You can imagine the amount of matches Team India cricketers are playing. Remember, recently, they had to send a second team to Sri Lanka because of excess engagement. There are no doubts over the quality and skills of Team India’s players. But I feel too much of cricket has got to them. They need to rotate two-three players and have the arsenal. Ravichandran Ashwin and Shardul Thakur can come in. They can play another batsman as well,” Butt added.</p>

<p>By the end of Day 2, England took a mammoth lead of 345 runs after the hosts scored 423 runs at the loss of 8 wickets. Skipper Joe Root smashed 121 runs off 165 balls laced with 14 hits to the fence.</p>
