📰 Top Headlines OT WeeK

⚽ Paris Saint‑Germain, Bayern Munich, Atlético Madrid and Arsenal emerge from a bruising Champions League quarterfinal week — PSG dismantled Liverpool on aggregate, Bayern edged Real Madrid 6–4, Atlético fought past Barcelona on away goals, and Arsenal survived Sporting to advance.

🏀 The NBA and players’ association approved extraordinary‑circumstance appeals for Luka Dončić and Cade Cunningham, making both guards eligible for end‑of‑season awards despite falling short of the 65 qualified‑game threshold; Anthony Edwards’ similar appeal was denied by an independent arbitrator.

⚾ Trout and Judge put on a show — Trout: 5 HR in 4 games (homered in every game; 4-game HR streak), Judge: 4 HR in the series. Only the 2nd time ever two multi-MVPs each hit 3+ HR in the same series — first time on opposing teams. Trout tied a club record with multiple 3-HR-in-a-row sequences; Judge kept up elite first-inning power.

⚽ Manchester City beat Arsenal 2-1 at the Etihad, Erling Haaland slotting home the winner as City’s late ruthlessness dealt a major blow to Arsenal’s bid for a first league title in 22 years; Arsenal dominated periods and hit posts twice but missed gilt-edged chances, leaving Mikel Arteta’s side nervous with City, who have a game in hand, closing the gap.

⚾ Mike Trout went deep 5 times in a four-game series vs. the Yankees — first player to do it in the Bronx and first visiting player to homer in four straight days at the current Yankee Stadium; Trout finished 6‑for‑16 with 5 HR and 9 RBI in the series. Only other player to do? Babe Ruth (vs Tigers, Polo Grounds, June 11–14, 1921). #VintageTrout
