Real Madrid’s dispute with Javier Tebas escalated on Friday as the club demanded his resignation and the LaLiga president accused its leadership of intimidation. Separately, the RFEF Appeals Committee rejected Madrid’s challenge to Vinícius Júnior’s four-match suspension, leaving the Brazilian set to miss El Clásico unless a further appeal changes the outcome. Both developments come as Madrid prepare to host Sevilla following Wednesday’s comeback victory in Rome. Madrid demand Tebas’ resignation after Goebbels comparisonReal Madrid have demanded Javier Tebas’ immediate resignation as LaLiga president and RFEF vice-president, following his comparison of the club’s communication strategy to propaganda techniques associated with Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Germany’s propaganda minister.

Mike Malott, Joaquin Buckley, and the entire UFC Edmonton crew did their jobs ahead of Saturday’s event. At Friday’s official morning weigh-ins, Malott and Buckley successfully weighed in for their headlining welterweight bout, with both men coming in at 170.5 pounds. Canada’s Malott seeks his fourth straight win after a dominant knockout victory over one-time title challenger Gilbert Burns in his most recent outing, while Buckley needs a strong performance to stop a two-fight skid. In the co-main event, top 10 flyweights Erin Blanchfield and Jasmine Jasudavicius face off with a potential title shot on the line. Blanchfield weighed in at 125 pounds, while Jasudavicius was a shade under championship weight at 124.5 pounds. Outside of a couple of scares from Kyle Daukaus and Melissa Croden—who both stripped down and weighed in behind a box—early in the second hour of the weigh-in window, all 26 fighters competing Saturday successfully made weight.

That the Brewers swept the Dodgers in the NLCS was a surprising outcome. But no one should be shocked that Milwaukee is headed to the World Series instead of the two-time defending champions, writes Sportsnet's Nick Ashbourne.

GM Ryan Johnson made the surprising move of trading Aatu Räty to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday, ending the nearly four years the centre had spent in the Vancouver Canucks organization. Räty’s care level and work ethic were always evident. His foot speed and calmness with the puck on his stick? Not so much.

Canucks Game Day: Looking to close out lengthy road trip with a win vs. LightningThe Vancouver Canucks (2-6-1) wrap up their six-game road trip this afternoon when they take on the Tampa Bay Lightning (5-2) at Benchmark International Arena. Puck drop is set for 1 pm PT. What we knowWith no morning skate, it will be closer to game time before the Canucks’ lineup for this afternoon is known. Manny Malhotra liked much of what he saw from his group in the loss in Sunrise and could stick with the same 18 skaters he used on Thursday. However, Luke Schenn won a pair of Stanley Cups in Tampa Bay, and it’s possible this will be his final game there. The veteran blueliner could draw back in after sitting out against the Panthers. Schenn, Guillaume Brisebois and Arshdeep Bains were the healthy scratches two nights ago. Malhotra definitely has a decision to make in goal. He could ride the hot hand of Leevi Meriläinen, who has been terrific for the hockey club since being plucked off waivers on the eve of the season. Meriläinen has stopped 71 of 77 shots in back-to-back starts against the New York Islanders and Florida.
