Sevilla’s first team were forced to spend the night at their training facility on Saturday evening after they were met with “violent attacks” by supporters.
A statement released by the club strongly condemned “organised vandalism” at the Jose Ramon Cisneros Palacios training complex after Sevilla’s 3-2 loss at 10-man Celta Vigo.
Footage on social media appears to show a large group of supporters chanting outside of the facility with pyrotechnics, while another shows them tearing down the gate to the entrance of the training ground.
Players and staff of the La Liga side were forced to stay inside the building following their arrival back from Vigo.
Sevilla added that the club “will pursue the public naming of employees and the dissemination of private data on social media and in the media, acts that constitute criminal offenses”.
The La Liga side, who won the Europa League in 2020 and 2023, said they will report the attacks and vandalism and will do “everything in its power to assist in the pursuit of the perpetrators of these crimes”.
The statement said the club “will try to help identify those involved in these actions and will act relentlessly in the event that they are Sevilla FC fans”.
The club acknowledged their poor season on the field and accepted protests but “under no circumstances will they be tolerated if they are accompanied by aggression, threats, or acts of vandalism”.
Lionel Messi suffered the heaviest defeat of his MLS career as Inter Miami crashed to a 4-1 loss against Minnesota United on Saturday.
The Argentine scored in the second half but Miami’s defence was once again exposed as they fell to a fourth defeat in their last five games in all competitions — a run which has seen them concede 14 goals.
With Luis Suarez injured, Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano opted to play without a recognised target striker with Messi floating in front of a five-man midfield.

Bongokuhle Hlongwane fired Minnesota ahead in the 32nd minute after Miami’s defence was exposed by a clever pass from Joaquín Pereyra to Carlos Harvey, who picked out the South African international striker in the box.

Messi provided the first real reminder of his presence six minutes later when he worked some space in a crowded area but his low right-foot shot was harmless.
Minnesota doubled their lead on the stroke of half-time when a long throw from Michael Boxall was headed on by Nicolas Romero and Anthony Markanich nodded home at the back post.
Messi struck three minutes after the interval when he was found in the box by Jordi Alba and provided his characteristic killer first touch and deadly finish to reduce the deficit.

But Minnesota responded magnificently — Tani Oluwaseyi headed a corner goalwards and Miami defender Marcelo Weigandt headed into his own net.
Then the excellent Oluwaseyi held off Noah Allen before slipping the ball inside to Robin Lod and the Finnish midfielder made no mistake with a perfect side-foot finish from the edge of the box.
Former Barcelona and Argentina midfielder Mascherano, who said his plans had to been impacted by stand-in forward Fafa Picault suffering a migraine before the game, was disappointed with the way his team had failed to react to a threat they had been ready for.
“It’s a tough loss for us. We knew Minnesota could hurt us in this way, in transitions, on set pieces, and they hurt us in (exactly) the way we had prepared for the game and that’s what worries me the most,” he said.
“If the players drop their levels, clearly the responsibility falls on me. All on me. If the coach does not convince them or transmit what he is looking for, all the responsibility falls on the coach.”
Red Bulls hammer Galaxy
The New York Red Bulls gained revenge over the Los Angeles Galaxy for beating them in last season’s MLS Cup final in extraordinarily emphatic fashion as they hammered the champions 7-0.
The Galaxy look nothing like champions and remain bottom of the Western Conference without a win and with just three points from 12 games.
Greg Vanney’s side, robbed of star midfielder Riqui Puig due to long term injury, were also without wingers Gabriel Pec and Joseph Paintsil but their problems were at the other end of the field.
German forward Eric Choupa-Moting scored twice and Swedish midfielder Emil Forsberg added a brace, including a superb curling free-kick, as the Red Bulls rampaged over the hapless Galaxy defence.
Local-born teenager Frankie Westfield looked to have given the Philadelphia Union a big win over the Columbus Crew with a 64th minute thunderbolt, his first goal in MLS.
But the Crew grabbed a stoppage time leveller from Sean Zawadski for a 2-2 draw, which maintains their unbeaten record on the road.
The Crew are second in the Eastern Conference with the Union third and Miami in fourth spot.
Cincinnati remain top of the East after a 2-1 win over Austin.
San Diego continued their impressive start to life in MLS with a 2-1 win at St. Louis with goals from Milan Iloski and Danish winger Anders Dreyer.
Nashville’s strong season continued with a 2-1 win over Charlotte thanks to a volley from Hany Mukhtar and a powerfully driven 54th-minute winner from Canadian winger Jacob Shaffelburg.
Tehran, Iran – Iran has emphasised its right to enrich uranium for civilian purposes as an Iranian delegation led by the foreign minister reached the Omani capital, Muscat, for a fourth round of indirect nuclear talks with the United States.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told state media on Sunday that the Iranian nation has a legal right to civilian enrichment that cannot be subjected to any deal.
The landmark 2015 Iran nuclear deal, from which US President Donald Trump withdrew during his first term, allowed Iran to pursue its civilian nuclear activity but put restrictions on enrichment to prevent Tehran from making a nuclear bomb.
“Enrichment is one of the achievements and honours of the Iranian nation. We have paid a heavy price for enrichment. The blood of our nuclear scientists has been spilled for this achievement,” he said in reference to scientists assassinated by Israel over the years.
But Araghchi said Tehran remains committed to providing verifiable assurances that it will not be able to develop a nuclear bomb – which has been Trump’s main demand.
Araghchi visited Saudi Arabia and Qatar and met with senior officials to coordinate in the run-up to the latest nuclear talks.
In the Omani capital on Sunday, Iran’s top diplomat was accompanied by his deputies and other members of the team tasked with technical talks that Iran still emphasises are held “indirectly” through Omani mediation.
Tehran has also repeatedly expressed concern over “contradictory” remarks made to the media by US negotiators, who are led by Trump’s longtime friend and envoy Steve Witkoff.
In the lead-up to the Muscat talks on Sunday, Witkoff again called for the complete “dismantlement” of Iran’s nuclear programme, including key sites in Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other top officials have suggested Iran must import enriched uranium.
The fourth round of the talks was scheduled for early May but had to be postponed with Oman citing “logistical reasons”.
The delay came after the US did not confirm its participation and amid a string of major fires in several Iranian cities, including one caused by an explosion in the port city of Bandar Abbas that killed dozens of people and injured more than 1,200.
Trump sacked National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, an Iran hawk, this month after Waltz reportedly coordinated with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and advocated for war with Iran.
Trump, his team and Israel have repeatedly threatened to launch devastating military strikes on Iran and its infrastructure if the talks fail to produce results soon.
Meanwhile, the US has continued to pile sanctions on Iran with the Treasury Department blacklisting a Chinese chemical group and three port terminal operators on Thursday in an attempt to target Iranian oil exports.
Amid its “maximum pressure” push against Iran, the US has also promised to drive Iranian oil exports to “zero” as Tehran has continued to ship its oil – mainly to China – despite the sanctions.
Trump started the sanctions campaign in 2018 after unilaterally reneging on the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers that put verifiable and stringent limits on Iran’s nuclear capabilities in exchange for lifting sanctions on the country.
The accord restricted Iran’s enrichment of uranium to 3.67 percent using first-generation centrifuges at limited sites, but it had time limits and sunset clauses that Trump claimed made it the “worst deal ever”.
United States President Donald Trump has offered to work with India and Pakistan to achieve a “solution” for the long-disputed Kashmir region, days after his administration brokered a ceasefire between the two nuclear-armed rivals.
“I will work with you, both to see if, after a ‘thousand years,’ a solution can be arrived at concerning Kashmir,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform on Sunday.
The US president doubled down on a historically inaccurate assertion that India and Pakistan have been fighting for “a thousand years” or more.
The Muslim-majority territory has been contested since the partition of British India in 1947 into India and Pakistan. The two countries have fought three wars over the region. They both stake a claim over Kashmir as a whole but control parts of it.
India-administered Kashmir has seen decades of armed rebellion either for independence or a merger with Pakistan. New Delhi has deployed more than 700,000 soldiers to quash the rebellion.
The government of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has so far remained committed to a decades-old policy of refusing international mediation to find a solution to the Kashmir issue. In 2019, Modi’s government stripped India-administered Kashmir’s semiautonomy, further alienating the Kashmiris.
In its response, Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on Sunday that it appreciates Trump’s willingness to resolve the Kashmir issue, which has implications for peace and security in South Asia and beyond.
“Pakistan reaffirms that any just and lasting settlement of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute must be in accordance with the relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions and must ensure the realization of the fundamental rights of the Kashmiri people, including their inalienable right to self-determination,” it said.
India’s leaders have not directly commented, but Indian media quoted unnamed government sources as saying no decision has yet been made to engage in talks on anything beyond the ceasefire.
India and Pakistan agreed to halt all fighting on Saturday, but Trump was the first person to announce the deal on his online platform.
In his post on Sunday, Trump took credit for the ceasefire.
“I am proud that the USA was able to help you arrive at this historic and heroic decision,” he wrote.
“While not even discussed, I am going to increase trade, substantially, with both of these great nations.”
The latest fighting between the two neighbours started when India attacked Pakistan in the aftermath of a shooting attack in India-administered Kashmir’s Pahalgam, which killed 26 civilians at a tourist location.
New Delhi again accused Pakistan of backing the “terrorist” groups that have launched many deadly attacks in India-administered Kashmir for decades.
Pakistan strongly denies the charges, maintaining that India has supported “terrorism” in its territory for many years and the Pahalgam attack was a false-flag operation to start a war.
The missile, drone and artillery attacks signified the most serious fighting between the two countries since they became nuclear-armed powers decades ago.
‘Neutral’ site for talks
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Saturday that in addition to the ceasefire, the two countries agreed to conduct broad talks over a host of issues at a “neutral” site soon.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday said his country believes in the path of peaceful negotiations to resolve problems around distribution of water resources and “all issues, including Jammu and Kashmir”.
But India has for decades refused to hold negotiations over the contested region as it has tried to strengthen its hold over it.

Mohmad Waseem Malla, a research fellow at the International Centre for Peace Studies in New Delhi, told Al Jazeera that Trump’s statement, though not entirely surprising, was “striking both in tone and substance” and likely to raise concerns in New Delhi.
“Any suggestion of third-party involvement, even in passing, crosses a red line for New Delhi – especially under the current government, which has redefined the country’s foreign policy and its emphasis on territorial sovereignty.”
He added that while Trump’s mention of boosting trade and promoting peace may seem conciliatory internationally, India’s domestic political climate and strategic priorities make it difficult to entertain such offers right now.
“The key will be how New Delhi calibrates its response given current sensitivities.”
The two countries also have yet to resolve their differences over water distribution as India’s suspension of its participation in the Indus Waters Treaty remains in place.
In response to the Pahalgam attack, India also expelled Pakistani diplomats, military advisers and visa holders; closed its main land border crossing and suspended trade; and launched a manhunt for the perpetrators.
Vittoria Bussi broke cycling’s hour record for women for a third time on Sunday.
The Italian rider covered a distance of 50.455km on the Velodromo Bicentenario in Aguascalientes, Mexico.
The 38-year-old set the new mark after abandoning an attempt just over the halfway point on Saturday.
Bussi held the previous record having become the first woman to break the 50km barrier when she covered 50.267km on the same velodrome in October 2023.
She also held the hour record for three years from September 2018 to September 2021, when her mark of 48.007km was bettered by British rider Joss Lowden (48.405km).
Dutch rider Ellen van Dijk then covered 49.254km in May 2022, before Bussi regained the record in 2023.
“I can say with a smile that I contributed to the history of the hour record for women,” said Bussi.
“This record has always been really special to me as an athlete and as a person, and I hope I have transmitted to young generations and people that sport is not just an athletic performance but that athletes bring messages to the world.
“‘The hour’ taught me that one of the most important things in life is to understand the preciousness of time in every single instant of our life.”
The current men’s record holder is Italy’s Filippo Ganna, who covered 56.792km in October 2022.
Bussi is set to attempt another world record in Aguascalientes – the women’s 4km individual.
The record has been lowered several times since the distance for the women’s individual pursuit was increased from 3km to 4km in January, making it the same as the men’s event.
At least seven people have died, and main roads were cut off after heavy rains led to flooding in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu.
The regional administration spokesperson, Abdinasir Hirsi Idle, said on Saturday that rescue efforts were continuing.
“The death toll could rise because the rains were heavy and lasted for several hours, causing nine houses to collapse across different neighbourhoods, and at least six major roads to suffer severe damage,” he said.
Somalia has in the past suffered extreme climate shocks, including prolonged dry seasons that have caused droughts and heavy rains resulting in floods.
Friday’s rains went on for about eight hours, leaving waist-high waters in neighbourhoods where some residents were trapped and others were forced to move to higher ground.
A resident, Mohamed Hassan, told The Associated Press news agency that some older people were still trapped.
“We spent the night on rooftops, shivering from the cold, and I haven’t even had breakfast,” he said.
Floodwaters also damaged key infrastructure, halting public transport and temporarily disrupting operations at the main Aden Abdulle airport. Officials later confirmed flights had resumed.
The Somalia Disaster Management Agency has not yet released an official death toll, but it said the assessment was under way to determine the extent of the damage.
