He knew it the moment the clock ran out……. Ben Johnson has to be tempted even if divisional rival - is that even allowed in NFL

Mr Kovacs close to his euro 2024 form in what was a well mannered game between Bayern and PSG at half time - not sure what Dembele did wrong apart from a little moan in first half
