Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:37:44 GMT

MADRID (AP) — The new year brings Girona another chance to show it’s a genuine title contender in the Spanish league.Girona’s first match of 2024 is a tough challenge against third-place Atletico Madrid at home on Wednesday. The Catalan club has been the surprise team in Spain so far this season, with statement wins such as the one it earned at defending champion Barcelona last month.Now it has a shot at taking down an Atletico team that finished the year with a win against Sevilla.Girona, partly owned by Manchester City’s Abu Dhabi ownership, is tied with Real Madrid on 45 points, but trails the Spanish powerhouse on a tiebreaker.“We finished the first half of the season on the same level as the top clubs,” Girona coach Míchel Sánchez said. “Our fans are proud of what we have achieved so far.”The game against Atletico should help give an idea about whether Girona has what it takes to keep competing at the top.Girona lost 3-0 to Madrid at home in September in its first big challenge...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:37:44 GMT

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — As quarterback Russell Wilson explains it, his job was in jeopardy nearly two months ago and after the Denver Broncos’ biggest win.It was then, during the bye week following a victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Oct. 29, Wilson said he was facing an ultimatum from the team: Adjust his contract or risk being benched.He didn't budge. Weeks later, Wilson is now finishing out the season on the sideline. It may just be the end of his time in Denver, too.A disappointed Wilson spoke to the media Friday after practice for the first time since being demoted earlier in the week by coach Sean Payton. Wilson will be relegated to the role of backup to Jarrett Stidham on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers (5-10).

Stidham uneven in 1st start in place of Wilson as Broncos rely on defense to beat Chargers 16-9 But the warning signs we...
