MADRID (AP) — It was the usual ending for Sevilla in an unusual season for the Spanish soccer club.Sevilla won the Europa League trophy yet again on Thursday after a season in which it went through coaching changes and had to fight just to avoid relegation in the Spanish league.The team’s struggles were quickly forgotten with its victory on penalties over Roma in the Europa League final on Wednesday in Budapest, which gave the club a record seventh title in the second-tier European competition.What looked like a season to forget turned into triumph after another impressive campaign by the Spanish club in the competition where it has been dominant in recent years. Five of its titles came within the last 10 years — 2014-16, 2020 and 2023.This time, Sevilla eliminated European powerhouses Manchester United in the quarterfinals and Juventus in the semifinals. It had gotten past Fenerbahce and PSV Eindhoven in previous rounds.On Wednesday, the team beat José Mourinho-coached Roma 4...

Mourinho acknowledges ‘nobody has called me’ as he considers his future at Roma

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:44:02 GMT

ROME (AP) — Almost as soon as he was awarded it, Jose Mourinho took off the silver medal that had just been hung around his neck by UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin, walked toward the stands and handed it to a young fan in the front row.“I only keep the gold ones,” Mourinho said later, still livid after his Roma squad was beaten by Sevilla in a penalty shootout to decide the Europa League final.After coaching his team to the trophy in five consecutive European finals over two decades, it was Mourinho’s first defeat at this stage and the 60-year-old Portuguese coach was quick to blame the referee for not awarding a penalty kick to Roma for a perceived handball during the second half — as well as a bunch of other decisions that he thought English referee Anthony Taylor mishandled.“The referee seemed like he was Spanish,” Mourinho said. “The result was not fair and there are a lot of instances to re-examine.”Mourinho was also seen insulting Taylor in the garage of the Puskas Arena in ...

Nowhere to run to: As Russia bombards Kyiv, 3 die after being locked out of shelter

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:44:02 GMT

KYIV — Ukrainians seeking shelter from Russia’s bombardment of Kyiv in the early hours of Thursday morning had nowhere to run to after they were locked out of a bomb shelter amid the wail of air raid sirens. At least three people, including a child, were killed and 19 injured, according to Ukrainian authorities.Russia launched seven ballistic and three Iskander cruise missiles from the Bryansk region bordering Ukraine, Kyiv’s air forces said, but though air defenses shot them all down, debris hit a hospital and numerous residential buildings, leading to the casualties.With Russia increasing the frequency and ferocity of its missile attacks on Kyiv and other cities and towns around Ukraine, residents have less time to seek safety in the bomb shelters that have sprung up around the country in the wake of Moscow’s full-scale invasion. In the early hours of Thursday, when most residents were in their homes, many asleep, the missiles arrived less than five minutes ...

Italy eyes ECB board seat gamble

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:44:02 GMT

FRANKFURT — The European Central Bank’s six-member strong executive board may welcome a new face later this year in a reshuffle that could see power shift from old, large member states to newer, smaller ones. Italian executive board member Fabio Panetta has been on the ECB’s executive board since 2020 but is thought by many to be sitting on packed bags, awaiting a move back to Rome to become the Governor of the Bank of Italy when Ignazio Visco retires in November. “It has been signaled for a long time that he would most likely follow Visco,” a former Eurosystem official said.The trouble is that the move could jeopardize Italy’s claim to one of the six top jobs in Frankfurt, reducing its influence over devising policies and robbing it of an extra vote on the policy-setting Governing Council.Officially, the ECB’s board is selected strictly on merit, irrespective of nationality. However, historically, the six-member strong executive board has always included representatives of th...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:44:02 GMT

Chalk up another beauty of a day yesterday as highs drifted up into the 70s and 80s during the afternoon with sunshine and low humidity. The low humidity allowed for another comfortable overnight last night and a pleasant start this morning. Areas of fog across the Cape and Islands will burn off by mid morning, providing a mostly sunny day. With the sunshine in place, temps take off today, heading for the upper 80s to lower 90s this afternoon. At the coast, it’ll be a bit cooler, with localized sea breezes as beach temps run in the mid 70s to mid 80s. Tomorrow, temps are similar, although we’ll track some scattered showers/storms in the afternoon. Once they get going, we’ll cool off, and cool off substantially by the evening as temps drop into the 50s/60s shortly after sunset with the wind kicking in out of the northeast. With an area of low pressure developing just to our east, the gusty northeast wind prevails both Saturday and Sunday as showers back in from time...
