Borussia Dortmund won the DFL-Supercup by beating Bayern Munich 2-0.
Jadon Sancho was the star of the match. He provided an assist for Paco Alcacer and then later scored a goal himself to beat Bayern 2-0 and clinch the first title of this season – DFL-Supercup.
Bayern Munich were outthought and outmanoeuvred on Saturday, with Dortmund looking in great shape ahead of the new Bundesliga season.
Dortmund came out on top in the second half as they played with much more intent. Sancho picked his moments perfectly to make an impact in the match. His run for Alcacer’s goal was exceptional, while he showed stamina, pace and composure to double the advantage.
For Bayern Munich, Manuel Neuer did have a good game. Despite conceding twice and nearly giving a goal away as he rushed out to meet Alcacer on the halfway line, the German made a string of excellent saves to keep the scoreline down and Dortmund at bay. For Niko Kovac’s men, the result was a reminder that they have areas in their squad to improve and they will no doubt increase their efforts to land the young winger and long term target Leroy Sane from Manchester City.
Borussia Dortmund, meanwhile, go some way to make up for their 5-0 capitulation to Bayern in April, which eventually costed them the Bundesliga title. They now go into the new Bundesliga season buoyed by winning the first silverware of the campaign.

NEYMAR has edged closer to a Barcelona return on a season-long loan deal with an option for a permanent transfer next summer.
Reports in Spain claim the Brazilian star, 27, is on the brink of heading “home” with Barca in “advanced talks” with Paris Saint-Germain over a deal.
Neymar Jr.’s situation at Paris Saint-Germain seems to be growing worse by the day. The Brazilian didn’t look very happy or excited as Paris Saint-Germain lifted the Trophee des Championes after defeating Rennes 2-1 thanks to goals from Kylian Mbappe and Angel di Maria.
But the French giants are holding firm on their valuation of him, and are apparently demanding £160million – still £38m less than they originally paid for him in 2017.
After Barcelona forked out £108m on Antoine Griezmann, it looked near impossible for them to fund a deal for Neymar as well.
Now as per the latest reports, the Brazilian might just finally get his wish before the transfer window is over. Barcelona has been struggling to convince Paris Saint-Germain to accept a cash + player deal as they’re short on funds after splurging heavily on Antoine Griezmann.
Neymar has been fighting to get back to the Nou Camp all summer as his relationship with the Parisien club has reached the breaking point. Neymar left the Nou Camp for PSG in a world-record £198million deal in the summer of 2017.
While the transfer deadline in England is August 8, teams in France and Spain have until September 2.
Everton have confirmed the signing of highly-rated Juventus striker Moise Kean.
Moise Kean is one of the most highly-rated young attackers in Italian football. He scored six times in 13 Serie A appearances for the Old Lady last season, at an impressive rate of 1.01 goals per 90 minutes played.
Everton had been heavily linked with a move for the Italy international in recent weeks, and have now completed a deal worth £29 million, that could eventually rise to £37 million if certain add on clauses are met.
Everton boss Marco Silva was delighted to have brought Kean to England. Silva told the club’s official website: “A striker was one of our priority signings this summer. Moise is strong, fast, with many good qualities as a striker and he is just 19 years old. He has talent and he is ready to work, ready to improve our squad and gives us different solutions. Of course, he was at a big club, now he’s come to another big club and is ready to fight for this challenge and to give everything to Everton Football Club.”
Kean becomes Everton’s fifth signing of the summer, joining Andre Silva, Fabian Delph, Jonas Lossl, and Jean Philippe-Gbamin as part of Marco Silva’s squad.
Moise Kean said: “I am very proud and honoured to wear the Everton shirt. I will give my best to this team. I was convinced to sign because Everton is a club looking to the future and so am I. I know about the size of the club. It has big ambition and I will work very hard to help us fulfill what we want to achieve. I am used to winning and I want to bring this winning attitude to the team. I hope I will be very good on the field and bring the fans joy.”
The Italy international has signed a five-year contract at Goodison Park and joins a club who finished eighth in the Premier League last season but hopes to give a fight for a top four or six finish this season.

Recently Intel officially launched their 10nm Ice Lake mobile CPUs in the market. This 10nm CPUs were assigned to be available years back with the name of Cannon Lake. Intel had faced a lot of difficulties in reaching this phase and in this process fans and enthusiasts got disappointed.
Until a few days back, 10nm was still a question for everyone because there were times where Intel really talked of it but not really made it official. From the first half of 2019, Intel seemed aggressive considering the fact that its competitor is now making impressive CPUs at lower prices.
These 10th Gen Intel Core processors shift the paradigm for what it means to deliver leadership in mobile PC platforms. With broad-scale AI for the first time on PCs, an all-new graphics architecture, best-in-class Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) and Thunderbolt 3 – all integrated onto the SoC, thanks to Intel’s 10nm process technology and architecture design – we’re opening the door to an entirely new range of experiences and innovations for the laptop.
Chris Walker, Intel corporate vice president and general manager of Mobility Client Platforms in the Client Computing Group
At the Computex, Intel talked a lot about their mobile CPUs and about the future of them. Now, finally these CPUs are live and soon we expect them to be available commercially via laptops and notebooks.
The main highlights of these CPUs are:
lower TDP
up to 18% IPC improvements
revolutionary Intel Gen11 Iris Plus graphics
much more efficient and packed with features
Though being clocked at lower clock speeds these CPUs manage to beat the previous-gen, thanks to the 10nm process and significantly larger L1 and L2 cache.
There are two categories of these CPUs: the U-series for laptops and Y-series for thin and light notebooks. Both of these ranges have CPUs stacking from 2 cores/ 4 threads to 4 cores/ 8 threads.
The Y-series 10nm CPUs have a base TDP of just 9W and the U-series have 15W only. The L3 cache memory ranges from 4MB to 8MB along with support for WiFi 6 and Thunderbolt 3 support for all the CPUs.
We see a total of 5 Y-Series CPUs ranging from Core i3-1000G1 all the way to Core i7-1060G7, on the other hand, there are a total of 6 U-series CPUs from dual-core Core i3-1005G1 to quad-core Core i7-1068G7.
Also, there’s the powerful Gen11 iGPU with frequencies ranging from 0.9GHz to 1.10GHz. So these processors also let you game with the inbuilt GPU at low or medium settings, finally a worthy iGPU family from Intel.
The Iris Plus graphics on the G7 and G4 CPUs feature 64 execution units (EUs) and 48 EUs respectively while the G1 now has only 32 EUs which was previously seen with Intel UHD graphics.
“10th Gen Intel Core processors with Intel Iris Plus graphics make a reality gaming in 1080p and higher-level content creation, like 4K video editing, quick application of video filters and high-resolution photo processing on the go.”
The use of Sunny Cove microarchitecture helps further to increase the throughput. Due to the architectural improvements, Intel says the Gen 11 graphics delivers up to one teraflop of 32-bit and two teraflops of 16-bit floating point performance without consuming much power.
These CPUs have lower base clocks as well as lower boost clocks but the AI and architectural improvements along with the improved 10nm process make these CPUs powerful and productive.
The Core i7-1060G7 has been priced at $426 quite similar to last gen’s i7-8565U which was priced at $409. Coming to the i5 variant, the Core i7-1035G1 has the same price of $297 of the last gen’s i5-8265U.
Though Intel’s listed price might look cheap as these are from the revolutionary 10nm architecture, so OEMs might hike the charges of the laptops bearing these CPUs.
Also, Comet Lake CPUs with 14nm architecture will be launched soon so it will be interesting to see how the laptops are priced along with performance and specs that they will bear.
Back in June, Realme first teased its 64MP quad-camera smartphone. The company didn’t give us a date then, but it appears the phone’s development is nearing completion as Realme has announced a “Camera Innovation Event” on August 8 in the Indian capital New Delhi where it will reveal more about its 64MP quad-camera technology.
Get ready to witness some of the world's first in smartphone camera technology at the #realme camera innovation event. Stay Tuned as we #LeapToQuadCamera and reveal the world's first 64MP Quad Camera technology on a smartphone. pic.twitter.com/iN6xde6Y7l
Realme has launched dual-camera smartphones – the 3 series and the X, and with them, one of the cameras is a depth sensor. It doesn’t have a triple camera smartphone, so launching a quad-camera smartphone would indeed be a giant leap forward.
Details are scarce about the camera configuration right now, but we are hopeful that Realme will throw in telephoto and ultra-wide-angle modules to accompany the 64MP main sensor. The fourth module will likely be a depth sensor unit.
We reached out to Realme for more information about this 64MP quad-camera smartphone and were told that the phone is still under development, but we believe it will be unveiled by the end of this quarter or the beginning of next.

Real Madrid have now dropped their interest in Paul Pogba and are on the verge of signing Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek.
According to Marca, Real Madrid have reached an agreement with Van de Beek over a move to the Santiago Bernabeu. But the report also says that Madrid’s move for Van de Beek would not close the door for Pogba.
Pogba himself is open to joining Real Madrid, but Manchester United will not compromise on their €180m asking price for the midfielder. The price tag has put Real Madrid off, who are now set to sign the 22-year-old Netherlands international.
Donny van de Beek told FOX Sports: “Of course I hear stuff like that from time to time. It’s always good to hear, right? But in fact the situation is still the same, even though the media keep telling new stories. Of course there is interest, but people tend to go way too fast.”
On reportedly being a back-up option in case Madrid miss out on Pogba, he said: “I haven’t heard it being said that way, but it could be. You shouldn’t believe everything you read. There’s always a lot of nonsense. I don’t have to tell you what is true and what isn’t. I’m focusing on [the match against Vitesse on] Saturday and the rest is up to you guys.”
Ajax coach Ten Hag acknowledged it will be difficult to hold on to Van de Beek if Real Madrid step up their interest. He said: “Of course we don’t want to lose him, so he have to do all we can to keep him here. But when clubs like that come around the corner, it will be very tough. We did very well last year, so you know players will be wanted. We’re a small football country. It’s just how it works. How important is Donny for us? That’s obvious. He had a mega development. He is extremely important.”
Real Madrid are said to have been keeping tabs on the 22-year-old all summer after the starring role he played in Ajax’s run to the Champions League semi-finals last season and winning the Dutch League.
Van De Beek could be available for as little as €50-60m. He doesn’t quite have the star quality of Pogba just yet, but Van de Beek looks a very tidy player who could well be the final piece of the puzzle for Zidane at the end of what has been a very exciting summer of transfer business.
According to widespread reports, Donny van de Beek – who will sign a five or six-year deal – is reportedly set to join Real Madrid for €50m which presents impressive value.

Barcelona and Real Betis have now finally reached an agreement over the transfer fee of Junior Firpo.
Junior has emerged as one of the most exciting full-backs over the last two seasons and will provide legitimate competition to Jordi Alba. He enjoyed a breakthrough season with Betis in 2018-19, having broken into the first team for the Andalusian club late in the previous campaign.
Firpo costs Barcelona around €30m. The La Liga champions will pay an initial €18 million to sign the 22-year-old and could spend another €12 million in add-ons as part of the deal.
The Spain international was typically deployed as a wing-back on the left flank for Betis and his surges into attacking areas became a trademark of the Betis’s attacking play. Firpo has all the attributes expected from a modern-day wing-back. When he does venture into the final third he’s composed in his decision making, while his high energy levels allow him to dominate his side of the field.
Firpo ran riot down the left flank in a memorable 4-3 win at the Camp Nou last season. One of his standout performance in the previous campaign actually came against Barcelona.
Jordi Alba is still one of the best left-backs in the game and his telepathic link up with Lionel Messi is so often key to unlocking opposition defences.
However, at the age of 30, it’s imperative that manager Ernesto Valverde has another player who can provide competition to the Spaniard and possess a similar penetrative threat. He can also cover in central areas.
Firpo has been chased by Barcelona all summer. The 22-year-old has reportedly signed a five-year contract with LaLiga champions.

Manchester United and Leicester City have agreed a deal for the transfer of Harry Maguire for a reported £80m – a world record fee for a defender.
Harry Maguire is expected to complete a medical at Manchester United by this weekend. He will become United’s third summer signing following Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Daniel James, who arrived from Crystal Palace and Swansea respectively.
Leicester City manager Brendan Rogers said a fee has been agreed with Manchester United for the sale of Harry Maguire, but the player is yet to negotiate personal terms with the Red Devils. He told Sky Sports: “The clubs have agreed [a fee] and there’s still some work for it to go through. There’s still a bit to go in terms of Harry’s medical and whatever personal things to sort out, but it is what it is. He’s a special player, he’s not a player that of course we would want to lose. He’s a top-class player, he’s a good man as well, and everything about Harry over the course of this pre-season, he knows there has been interest over the summer and he’s been super professional.”
The 20-time English champions have been chasing the centre-back for this entire summer window, having called off plans to bring him to the club 12 months earlier. But the boyhood United fan indicated some weeks ago that he was flattered by the club’s interest in him.
If the deal goes ahead, which is highly unlikely to go off, the transfer fee will represent a world-record fee for a defender which is currently held by Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk – Liverpool paid Southampton £75m ($91m) for the Netherlands defender back in January 2018. This transfer will also stand at 12th position in the most expensive transfers of all-time list. Hull City are also set to get £10.2m of the fee with a 15 percent sell-on clause on profits from when they sold Maguire to Leicester.
Harry Maguire’s football career
Maguire began his career at Sheffield United in 2011, making 139 league appearances for the Blades before joining Hull in 2014. He was part of the Hull side that earned promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs in 2016. But he left for Leicester in a £17m deal following the Tigers’ relegation 12 months later. He then made 69 Premier League appearances for Leicester. The defender made his England debut in August 2017 and was part of the side that reached the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Harry Maguire becomes one of seven central defenders on the books at United, joining Victor Lindelof, Eric Bailly, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Marcos Rojo and Axel Tuanzebe.
