Hertha’s survival hopes dwindling despite coach’s return

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:53:56 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — Hertha Berlin’s hopes of Bundesliga survival were pinned on Pál Dárdai’s return for the last six games of the season.If he expected a warm welcome on Saturday for his third stint as Hertha coach, he had to wait.The club’s hardcore fans stayed outside in protest while the team warmed up for its vital game against Werder Bremen. Hertha then slumped to a 4-2 loss to remain bottom with dwindling chances of survival.Even before the match, there was little hope Dárdai’s return could spark some sort of miraculous change in fortune.“It’s a new start with Pál, but whether he manages it is questionable. It’ll be hard,” Hertha supporter Klaus Müller told The Associated Press. “At Hertha, there’s been too much messing around at management level.”Hertha’s demise since Dárdai’s first stint in charge from 2015-19 has been plain to see. Investor Lars Windhorst started backing the club in 2019, millions were wasted on his dream of chasing European glory, then money ran out as the effec...

Bélgica destruye envío de cerveza estadounidense después de discrepar con el eslogan “El champán de las cervezas”

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:53:56 GMT

(CNN) — Bélgica destruyó un envío de cerveza estadounidense después de objetar el eslogan de su fabricante de que era “El champán de las cervezas”.La aduana belga aplastó las 2.352 latas de cerveza Miller High Life a principios de esta semana, argumentando que estaban etiquetadas incorrectamente como champán.La medida se produjo después de que una asociación comercial de la industria del champán se quejara de que el término debería usarse solo en botellas de vino espumoso, elaborado con un método tradicional en Champaña, Francia.Por convención, el verdadero champán —como el vino espumoso francés— solo se puede hacer con uvas Chardonnay, Pinot Noir y Pinot Meunier.El Comité Champagne, una asociación comercial conjunta para la industria del champán, solicitó la destrucción de las cervezas estadounidenses, argumentando que la etiqueta “El champán de las cervezas” infringía la denominación protegida de “Champagne”.Esta pareja pagará cárcel por r...

Madrid beats Celta to pressure Barça before Atletico visit

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:53:56 GMT

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Real Madrid beat Celta Vigo 2-0 on Saturday to pressure Barcelona before the Spanish leader hosts Atletico Madrid needing a win to quash any fears of a late season slump.Marco Asensio put Madrid ahead three minutes before halftime from a pass by Vinícius Júnior after the winger sped clear on the flank.Center back Éder Militão again showed his punch in attack by using a powerful header to turn in a corner kick by Asensio in the 48th.Madrid’s win trimmed Barcelona’s still-healthy lead to eight points with one more game played.Two rounds ago, Barcelona could have gone ahead by as many as 15 before it was held to the first of two consecutive draws that have allowed Madrid to breathe a little bit of life into its nearly hopeless title defense.A loss by Barcelona to third-placed Atletico at Camp Nou on Sunday could embolden Madrid with eight games to play.Either way, Madrid has its priorities placed on a possible cup double, not a still unlikely comeback in the dom...

BERLIN (AP) — A German publisher has fired one of its magazine’s editors and apologized to the family of Michael Schumacher for publishing a fake interview with the Formula One great that was generated by artificial intelligence.“This tasteless and misleading article should never have appeared.
