Manchester City snatches a draw against Arsenal
In England, Manchester City had a scare at home against Arsenal. The Citizens quickly opened the scoring before conceding two goals from the Gunners, reduced to ten men after Leandro Trossard’s harsh sending off. Arsenal retreated into defence throughout the second half, repelling Manchester City’s multiple attacks thanks to a brilliant David Raya in goal. But the Gunners finally cracked on City’s final move, with a John Stones strike in the box. City remain Premier League leaders after five games, ahead of Liverpool and Aston Villa. Arsenal are fourth.

Pumas dominate Springboks
A narrow victory for Argentina. On Saturday, the Pumas won against South Africa (29-28) in Santiago del Estero and still have a chance of winning the Rugby Championship if they win the return match next Saturday. Led quickly 17-0 by the leaders of the competition, unbeaten before this match of the fifth and penultimate day, the Pumas managed a cannon comeback by scoring four tries in 20 minutes to end the first period in the lead (26-22). The second was clearly less rich in points but not in suspense. Overtaken again after two South African penalties (26-28), the Argentinians responded through Tomas Albornoz (29-28) ten minutes from the end.

The good shape of French Paralympic athletes
The benefits of the Paralympic Games on French sport continue. French Paralympic cyclists Florian Jouanny, Joseph Fritsch and Johan Quaile became world champions in Zurich on Sunday, two weeks after their Paralympic crown. They could be imitated in the coming days by other participants in the Paris Paralympic Games such as Alexandre Léauté, Thomas Peyroton-Dartet, Kévin Le Cunff and Heïdi Gaugain.
The report
At the African Union City in Kinshasa, President Félix Tshisekedi welcomed former French basketball player and NBA star Tony Parker on Wednesday, September 18. Parker aims to develop the practice of basketball in a country where football is king. He supports a project aimed at supporting and promoting the growth of sports in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Report.
Terrible news for the Blaugranas. FC Barcelona may have lost their goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen for the season on Sunday. The German goalkeeper was taken off on a stretcher in the 45th minutee minute after being hit in the right knee during a charge on a corner in his area. Injured in the patellar tendon, the goalkeeper, who has already had two operations on his right knee in 2020 and 2021, could miss the entire season, which explains the distress on his face when he was evacuated by the medics.
