Women’s Champions League holders Barcelona were placed in a pool with four-time winners Eintracht Frankfurt while English champions Chelsea were matched with Real Madrid in the group-stage draw on Friday.

In Group A, Barcelona were also drawn with Benfica and Rosengard, two teams they faced at the same stage last season. Barcelona won all four games, beating Benfica by an aggregate of 15-2 and the Norwegians by 10-1 over the two matches.

Barcelona, European champions in two of the last three seasons and Spanish campions for the last four years, are top of La Liga F after winning their first five matches, ahead of Real Madrid on goal difference.

As they won their last match away to Atletico Madrid, their line-up contained six players from the Spain team that won the World Cup Final in August, as well as two members of the losing England side.

The only English representative, Chelsea, Super League Champions the last four seasons but losers in their only European final appearance, to Barcelona in 2021, have been drawn by another club chasing a first title, Real Madrid.

Swedes Hacken, who have not progressed past the quarter-finals, and debutantes Paris FC, who upset twice champions Wolfsburg in qualifying round, fill out Group D.

Group C is also made up of big clubs with their noses pressed up against the glass of the Champions League trophy cabinet — Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Roma and Ajax.

In Group B, Lyon, who have won the competition a record eight times, drew Slavia Prague, Saint Poelten and Brann.

Buffalo Bills running back Damien Harris has been released from a Buffalo-area hospital and has neck pain, “but otherwise is going to be fine,” a source told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler on Monday.

Harris was taken off the field in an ambulance and transported to the hospital after suffering a neck injury Sunday night against the New York Giants.

Coach Sean McDermott said Sunday night it was his understanding that Harris has full movement in his body and that his scans were good so far.

Morocco, Portugal, and Spain won a joint bid to host the 2030 men’s World Cup on Wednesday, with governing body FIFA awarding three of the tournament’s opening games to Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay to commemorate the 100th anniversary of soccer’s most prestigious event.

It’ll be the first World Cup hosted on multiple continents.

All six countries will automatically qualify for the 2030 edition, according to The Athletic’s David Ornstein.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino said the first of the three matches in South America will take place in Montevideo’s Estadio Centenario, which hosted the majority of the matches during the first-ever World Cup in 1930.

Uruguay won the inaugural World Cup, beating Argentina 4-2 in the final.

Paraguay is home to CONMEBOL’s headquarters. Founded in 1916, it’s the oldest continental soccer association in the world.

“We aimed high and dreamed big. The 2030 Centenario World Cup starts where it all began,” CONMEBOL president Alejandro Dominguez wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

After hosting their opening matches, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay will play the remainder of their games in Morocco, Spain, and Portugal, according to Ornstein.

Morocco will become the first North African country to host World Cup matches and just the second from the continent after South Africa in 2010.

Spain last hosted the World Cup in 1982, which Italy won after beating West Germany in the final.

Portugal has never hosted a World Cup match before. The country reached the final of Euro 2004 as host nation before losing to Greece.

The 2030 World Cup will build on the momentum of the 2026 tournament, which will be played across 16 cities in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. The 2026 edition will be the first to have 48 teams, up from the 32 that have contested each of the last six World Cups.
