Bayern Munich have slammed reports suggesting they threatened to exclude Mario Gotze from their Champions League squad if he chose to stay at the club for next season.
Reports in the German media claimed that Bayern had advised the 24-year-old to leave and would keep him out of Europe s premier club competition if he refused to do so.
But Bayern angrily denied those claims, directly referencing the allegations of their Champions League threat when releasing a statement that demanded that media sources cease and desist from reporting false claims .
Chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge added: This is complete fiction. It remains the case that we will resolutely defend ourselves against all false or even malicious reporting using all legal means available to us.

Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar insists transfer speculation linking him with Real Madrid and Barcelona is not concrete .
Neymar has been a constant subject of rumours ever since leaving Barca for PSG in 2017, the French club smashing the world transfer record when bringing him to Ligue 1 for €222million.
Madrid were said to be particularly interested in Neymar last year, but things cooled off before the World Cup and PSG succeeded in keeping their prized asset.
Media reports then claimed earlier this season that Barca were looking to bring him back to Camp Nou – the club going as far as publicly denying claims they had been in contact with Neymar s father in an attempt to seal a transfer on Tuesday.
The Madrid links have also resurfaced in recent day…
Market: Fortaleza win
Odds: 4/5 @
Two sides who are only separated in the Serie A standings by their goal difference, Fortaleza will welcome Athletico Paranaense to the Castelao on Sunday night.
Starting with the hosts, watching their three-match winning run come to an abrupt end thanks to a 2-0 loss away at Flamengo last weekend, Juan Pablo Vojvoda’s men should still find the mood in their camp at a high. With their sights firmly set on clinching a Copa Libertadores spot in 2023, the Tricolor will be excited by a return to the Castelao on Sunday night. Last seen in front of their own supporters picking up a lively 2-1 victory against Atletico-MG when returning from June’s international break, the former Huracan boss finds his squad in the midst of a remarka…
Premier League club Sunderland have decided to part company with manager Steve Bruce.
Bruce had come under increasing pressure after Sunderland s poor start to the season was compounded by a 2-1 home defeat against Wigan last weekend.
A statement from club chairman Ellis Short read: This has been a difficult time for everyone at Sunderland and is not a situation that any of us envisaged or expected to be in.
It is my job as chairman to act in the best interests of our football club at all times and I can assure everyone that this is not a decision that I have taken lightly. Sadly results this season have simply not been good enough and I feel the time is right to make a change.
Steve has acted with honesty and integrity throughout, which is testament…
Ecuador begin life after Reinaldo Rueda when they tackle South American rivals Bolivia in Florida on Saturday.
Former head coach Rueda led Ecuador to their third appearance in a World Cup finals earlier this year, but was unable to prevent elimination at the group stages.
Ecuador were the first South American team to be knocked out of football s showpiece tournament, having lost to Switzerland, beaten Honduras and then drawn with France in their three Group E matches.
The decision to remove Rueda was subsequently taken in July, with former national team coach and current under-20 boss Sixto Vizuete placed in interim charge until at least January when the Ecuador Football Federation (FEF) will hold a presidential election.
Vizuete who previously coached Ec…

Nexon has released three more character trailers for The First Descendant, this time focusing on two starters – Lepic and Viessa – and the vampire-like Gley. Check them out below.
Lepic is a strong all-rounder who utilizes grenades for dealing damage and pulling enemies together (with the two types chaining together quite well). His right arm also turns into a launcher that deals explosive AoE damage and lingers for a time. Viessa, by comparison, is more about crowd control, freezinSports Bettingg and slowing enemies.
Blizzard is one of her more potent skills, exploding after freezing. As for Gley, she’s touted as bloodthirsty in the literal sense, sacrificing her HP to enter Bers…
After teasing his presence in some recent Moon Knight gameplay, NetEase Games has confirmed Hawkeye as a playable hero in Marvel Rivals. Sporting a face mask, this is perhaps the sleekest design of the character we’ve seen in video games. Check out some of his skills below.
As a Duelist, Hawkeye excels at mid-range engagements, charging shots and dealing extensive damage on headshots. Though he can also unleash a spread of explosive shots up close, the real danger is his katana (a nice little nod to Ronin). It can deflect bullets at range and knock back foes, sometimes off the map.
Hawkeye seems like a combination of GeSouth Africa sports Bettingnji and Hanzo from Overwat…
