Real Madrid dismantled Monaco in a dominant 6-1 victory, securing a vital win on Matchday 7 of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League. Real Madrid dominated Monaco in a clinical 6-1 victory at the Santiago Bernabeu on Matchday 7 of the UEFA Champions League, continuing their resurgence after a recent slump. With this result, Los Blancos climb to second in the overall table, all but guaranteeing a direct spot in the Round of 16. Following the frustrations of the home crowd—who notably whistled the team during their 2-0 La Liga win over Levante—Real Madrid reunited with their supporters with a clear mission to deliver a statement continental win. Alvaro Arbeloa’s side did not disappoint. The rout began just four minutes in when Kylian Mbappe opened the scoring against his former club. While Monaco created several opportunities to equalize, they failed to capitalize, allowing Mbappe to double the lead in the 25th minute and send Madrid into the locker room with a comfortable cushion. Any hopes of a Monaco comeback vanished in the second half. Real Madrid unleashed an offensive onslaught, pushing the lead to 5-0 behind goals from Franco Mastantuono, a Thilo Kehrer own goal, and a strike from Vinicius Junior. Although the French side managed to pull one back through Jordan Teze, it proved a mere consolation; Jude Bellingham capped the night with a goal ten minutes from time to finalize the 6-1 scoreline.

Arch Manning and the Texas Longhorns are reportedly in the crosshairs of a national champion with the Indiana Hoosiers ahead of his final year in college football. After watching the Indiana Hoosiers hoist the College Football Playoff National Championship, Arch Manning and the Texas Longhorns are extra motivated. However, in order to be crowned the best team in the 2026 NCAA season, the program in Austin could use some help. On that note, a recently crowned champion could prove pivotal for the Horns. Indiana is witnessing several key members enter the transfer portal in college football. In addition to losing Fernando Mendoza successor after the 2026 National Championship, the Hoosiers could be waving goodbye to a key member of the offensive line. Consequently, Manning and the Longhorns could land a key reinforcement to protect the heir of football’s royal quarterback family. According to reports, Indiana guard Bray Lynch is considering a transfer to the University of Texas in Austin. “Multiple sources leading up to the game this weekend said that [Lynch] wants to come back home to Texas for his final season of eligibility,” as reported by Hook’Em Headlines. Bray Lynch warming up before a game Lynch’s background A three-star recruit out of Austin Westlake High School in the class of 2022, Lynch has spent his entire college football career at Indiana. He arrived in Bloomington in June 2022, time before Curt Cignetti—who signed in November 2023—took over and completely changed the narrative around the program. If he chooses to stay for another year in college football, Lynch would be a redshirt senior. Moreover, he could complete a uniquely Austin-bred quarterback gauntlet, having played alongside five-star recruit Cade Klubnik in high school and potentially joining Manning in what could be the final NCAA season for both players. Lynch is a cornerstone of Indiana football According to CBS Sports, Lynch had logged 1,935 snaps for the Hoosiers prior to the 2026 National Championship. Indiana ran 72 offensive snaps in the title game, meaning Lynch could now have taken the field as many as 2,007 times for the Hoosiers. Now, Lynch is weighing his options between staying at Indiana, transferring to his hometown school, or declaring for the 2026 NFL Draft. With Arch Manning and a roster built to contend for a title next season, Lynch may be inclined to fulfill a childhood dream by playing at Darrell K. Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium and becoming a Longhorn before going pro.

Both the New York Yankees and the New York Mets are vying for Cody Bellinger’s services, though with another player also in their sights. As the days pass, the decision on where Cody Bellinger will play remains uncertain. Because of this, both the New York Yankees and the New York Mets have set their sights on another important free agent to add to their rosters. According to insider Jon Heyman, who shared the news on his X account, both New York franchises have set their sights on Austin Hays, coming off a strong season with the Cincinnati Reds. While adding the outfielder and 2023 All-Star is viewed positively in the Big Apple, it won’t be an easy task, as another major team is also interested: the St. Louis Cardinals of the NL Central. It will be a matter of seeing what ultimately happens with the outfield position in the near term, as both Bellinger and Hays are strong candidates to land either in Queens or the Bronx. Austin Hays #12 of the Cincinnati Reds reacts. Hays’ stellar season with the Reds In his first and only season with the Cincinnati Reds, Austin Hays provided solid production despite missing time due to various injuries. Across 103 games in the 2025 campaign, the veteran outfielder recorded a .266 AVG, launched 15 home runs, and tallied 64 RBI. His .768 OPS and a career-high seven stolen bases showcased his versatility in the lineup, particularly his dominance against left-handed pitching. Despite these contributions, the Reds recently declined his mutual option for 2026, making the 30-year-old a free agent this offseason. What will happen with Bellinger? Cody Bellinger is reportedly on the verge of choosing his home for the 2026 season as negotiations with the Yankees and Mets reach a boiling point. After a standout 2025 campaign where he hit 29 home runs and drove in 98 runs, Bellinger’s decision timing revealed that an announcement is expected shortly, especially with Spring Training approaching. While the Yankees have held firm on a five-year, $160 million offer, the possibility of a panic pivot by a rival suitor could finally end the stalemate in the coming days.
