Arsenal are back at the Emirates this afternoon taking on Borussia Dortmund in the Emirates Cup, with kick-off set for two PM UK time and the match streaming free on Arsenal's YouTube channel. Mikel Arteta's side come into this one under pressure after a three-one defeat to Real Betis and the painful news that Vinicius Junior has committed his future to Real Madrid, shutting the door on a potential move to North London.
Over in the transfer market, Barcelona have pulled off a stunning move, securing Rodri's agreement to leave Manchester City this summer. The Spanish midfielder had looked destined for Real Madrid for weeks, but the Catalan club swooped late to get his signature, and a former Real Madrid star has already fired back at suggestions Rodri was rejected by Madrid first, calling the narrative a bad joke.
And in the WNBA, Chicago Sky guard DiJonai Carrington is at the center of controversy after being ejected during a defeat to the Indiana Fever for a hard foul, then taking to social media with a post about white privilege. The moment has ignited debate across the league and well beyond the hardwood.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
