José Mourinho will have a chance to claim a sixth European trophy, although to achieve that his Roma team will have to stop Sevilla from winning a record-extending seventh Europa League title.
Roma reached the Europa League final by holding Bayer Leverkusen to a 0-0 draw in Germany on Thursday following the kind of disciplined defensive performance that Mourinho's teams have become known for. The Italian club went through 1-0 on aggregate after winning the first leg of the semifinal at home.

Rafael Nadal has not competed since January because of a hip injury. He is expected to announce Thursday whether that absence will include the French Open, a tournament he has won a record 14 times.

Novak Djokovic sees a bit of himself in Holger Rune.
The 20-year-old Rune is solid in nearly every area: A great mover and super fit physically, he's strong off both his forehand and backhand, has good hands and is an aggressive returner.

Manchester City is three games away from making history. And after the stunning rout of Real Madrid in the Champions League semifinals on Wednesday, Pep Guardiola's march toward a treble of trophies feels unstoppable.
"We are there. We can think about it, can visualize it," the City manager said after his team's 4-0 win at Etihad Stadium.

Real Madrid is not used to big losses in the Champions League.
The "Kings of Europe" are usually the ones rolling past opponents and lifting the trophies at the end.

With the Spanish league title already clinched by Barcelona, the focus now shifts to the drama at the bottom.
Six teams — Valencia, Almeria, Cadiz, Valladolid, Getafe and Espanyol — are within seven points of one another in a fight to see which two will accompany already-relegated Elche to the second division.

At times the pressure of winning the Champions League has seemed too much for Manchester City's players to bear.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, keeps on setting new standards in European club soccer's elite competition.

Inter Milan reached its first Champions League final in more than a decade with a 1-0 victory against city rival AC Milan on Tuesday.

Hours before finding out his likely destination in the NBA, Victor Wembanyama drew a star-studded crowd in his last regular-season game in France and delivered another game-winning performance in the fourth quarter.
Soccer star Kylian Mbappé and popular French actor Omar Sy were both on hand to watch Wembanyama put up 22 points as his Boulogne-Levallois side won 93-85 in a local derby against Paris Basketball. The 19-year-old French phenom — and much of the basketball world — then turned their attention to the NBA draft lottery in Chicago later Tuesday.
