DC vs CSK Live win probability, prediction, odds & chances of victory…

Delhi Capitals take on Chennai Super Kings at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Tuesday.

With only four victories in nine outings this season, Axar Patel's side find themselves rooted to seventh place on the points table. amunra-online.pl

Five defeats in nine games is not an ideal position for any team eyeing the playoffs, and at this stage of the tournament, every single result carries enormous weight.

Delhi are running out of room to manoeuvre, and a slip-up against a resurgent Chennai could make things significantly harder.

Meanwhile, CSK have managed to get three wins from their last five matches, including a dominant victory against their bitter rivals Mumbai Indians.

However, history has rarely been kind to Delhi in this fixture. Across 32 meetings between these two sides, Chennai have come out on top 20 times compared to Delhi's 12.

Former Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has opened up on one of the most dramatic moments during his time at the club, revealing how close Lionel Messi came to being targeted by an extraordinary transfer move.

Speaking in an interview with Cadena SER, Bartomeu reflected on the period following Neymar’s exit, when Barcelona were already dealing with major changes.

It was during this time that concerns began to grow inside the club about a potential record-breaking attempt to sign Messi.

Bartomeu explained how the rumours first surfaced. “A few weeks after Neymar’s departure, rumours began to circulate that a club was preparing €400 million for Messi – the amount of his release clause.”

He then went further, revealing details about how serious the situation appeared at the time.

“Funds from an Arab country were transferred to accounts in Europe.”

More to the story

When pressed for more details about the origin of those funds, Bartomeu chose not to disclose specifics but hinted at the level of financial power involved.

“It doesn’t matter now… that’s old news; it was years ago. There are very few clubs in England, or state-owned clubs, that can afford such sums.”

He also made it clear that while a club was ready to trigger the clause, it was not one of the most commonly linked names.

“There was a team willing to pay €400 million. I don’t want to name names, but it wasn’t [Manchester] City.”

Faced with that threat, Barcelona acted quickly to secure their biggest asset. Bartomeu explained the internal response and the discussions that followed with Messi and his family.

“What we did was talk to Lionel Messi and his father and discuss the matter: we had to raise the release clause.”

That decision ultimately led to a major contractual change, with Bartomeu concluding,

“At the time, the clause was 400, so we raised it to 700, which is a very high figure.

“If you raise the release clause, you also have to raise the player’s salary and compensation.”

The personal chef who accused former New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs of assault and attempted strangulation will return to the witness stand Tuesday as the trial enters its second day in Dedham District Court.

Watch Live: Trial of former Patriots star Stefon Diggs continues

Jamila Adams, Diggs’ former personal chef, was the first witness called by prosecutors on Monday. She remains under cross-examination by the defense, which has already begun challenging her credibility and version of events.

Diggs is accused of assaulting and attempting to strangle Adams inside his Dedham home in December. He has pleaded not guilty.

On the first day of testimony, Diggs walked quickly into court without speaking to reporters.

Under questioning from prosecutors, Adams became emotional as she described the alleged assault, saying Diggs began choking her. She testified that the incident at his Dedham home on Dec. 2, 2025, followed a heated exchange of text messages between the two over payments she said she was owed.

Defense attorneys have pushed back on Adams’ account, arguing the assault never happened. They pointed out that Adams did not take photos of any alleged bruising or marks and failed to disclose to police that she and Diggs were involved in what they described as an intimate relationship.

The defense also noted Adams was upset about being excluded from a trip to Miami and suggested that anger may have played a role in her allegations.

Boston attorney Elyse Hershon, a legal analyst, said the defense aggressively highlighted inconsistencies in Adams’ testimony.

“We have to look at why she would lie about this, and the defense is bringing out information,” Hershon said. “She deleted text messages before she went to the police and showed an angry exchange between her and Diggs. That doesn’t look good. So something that doesn’t look good is something the defense will use in their closing — to really say you can’t believe her, you can’t trust her, she lied, she just wanted money.”

The trial is expected to last another one to two days. Adams is scheduled to resume testimony first thing Tuesday morning as cross-examination continues.

The Browns rookie walked the stage at Colorado on May 2, completing his sociology degree with a 3.9 GPA while balancing his rookie season with the NFL. He left the school a year earlier to enter the draft, yet finished his studies in a single calendar year—a rare feat for a professional athlete.

After FC Bayern’s legendary Montagskickers (‘Monday players’) had finished their morning session, a special lunch was on the agenda this week. Despite his busy schedule over the previous days – Friday’s basketball game against Alba Berlin at the SAP Garden, Saturday’s home match against Heidenheim at the Allianz Arena, and Sunday’s Women’s Champions League match in Barcelona – president Herbert Hainer stopped by to chat with the members of the German record champions’ storied team about the past, present and future. “Among others, Franz Beckenbauer, Uli Hoeneß and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge have played for the Montagskicker, and what defines our club is that we are a family,” Hainer said in his welcome remarks. “For us, it’s not just about the pros in the spotlight – the ‘Mokis’ are an important part of our club. I’m happy to be here with you.”

The 20 dedicated players in attendance – including new ‘Moki’ president Markus Hörwick, ex-FCB player Norbert Janzon, former vice president Bernd Rauch, former administrative advisory board chairman Eckhart Müller-Heydenreich, long-time youth director Werner Kern, former assistant coach Michael Henke, writer Prof. Dr. Helmut Zöpfl and Zlatan Čajkovski, son of legendary FCB coach “Tschick” Čajkovski – eagerly asked questions.

Super league, Sportpark Unterhaching & Vincent Kompany

For example, when the question arose as to whether the Super League was truly off the table, the president once again reiterated the club’s stance: “FC Bayern was the first to take a clear stand against it, even before the Premier League, and nothing has changed in that regard.” The ‘Mokis’ were also interested in the background to the acquisition of the Sportpark Unterhaching stadium (Hainer: “This marks a new era for our successful women’s team”), the finances (Hainer: “We aren’t dependent on an investor and enjoy this freedom; we have to be grateful to Franz Beckenbauer, Uli Hoeneß, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Karl Hopfner for laying the club’s foundations”), and the work of head coach Vincent Kompany (Hainer: “A humble person who puts himself at the service of the club”). Florentino Perez, the president of Real Madrid, had told Hainer over lunch ahead of the Champions League quarter-final clash that when it comes to “benchmarks for his own club, he looks to only one other club – and that is FC Bayern.”

As well as that anecdote, there was also applause for Müller-Heydenreich and Werner Fuchs, who, at 91 and 90 years old respectively, are still on the ball for the ‘Mokis’ during their weekly training sessions at the FC Bayern Campus. There are currently around 45 members of the group, which was founded in 1973, with about 15 actively playing. Hörwick took over the presidency this year from honorary council member Reinhard Böker. Under his leadership, lunches with special guests are to take place more regularly. “The ‘Mokis’ are part of FC Bayern’s history,” Hainer said in his farewell remarks, “Tradition doesn’t belong in a museum – you wear it under your shirt.”
