Johan Cruyff died 10 years ago today. A couple of summers ago, I travelled to Amsterdam to see a roll of wallpaper. Dated and patterned with roses, the scribbles on its underside explain the shape of modern European football as we know it. https://t.co/Kur3ekWoRo

Patterned with roses, folded four times and buried at the bottom of a box sits a document that explains Johan Cruyff's football vision

Milan-San Remo lived up to the hype. Arguably the most exciting 40km in cycling takes place on the outskirts of a town known for its music festival and flowers 🌷 Pogacar is on for the five monuments. Possibly all in one season…
Tadej Pogacar is one step closer to completing the full set of cycling’s five monuments after edging out Tom Pidcock in a two-man sprint at a memorable Milan-San Remo @SAntoniRussell reports 🔽 https://t.co/TcSPBOIeEI

I've enjoyed the last couple of days of bike racing at Tirreno-Adriatico and Paris-Nice, although it's a huge shame for the rest of the season if Ayuso is as badly injured as it appears... it's been a glimpse of cycling without Pogacar https://t.co/IafnXedo67

“You have a really strong opponent [in Pogacar] who is strong across the board. But, number one, you have to look at yourself and try to make the best version of yourself and be ready for a battle.” - Kurt Bogaerts on Tom Pidcock ahead of Strade Bianche https://t.co/ZUTbpkGYmU
