European football: Dortmund win again but Freiburg top after Gladbach rout

  • Milan come from behind in 2-2 draw with Lazio

  • Kylian Mbappé strikes twice as Real Madrid cruise

Felix Nmecha scored twice and Fábio Silva grabbed another as Borussia Dortmund won 3-0 at home to promoted Paderborn to continue their perfect start in the Bundesliga. Dortmund’s win made it three from three in the league this campaign, their best start in 11 seasons, dating back to Thomas Tuchel’s time.

Starting up front alongside Serhou Guirassy for the first time this season, Silva converted a clever pass from the Guinean to give the hosts the lead after five minutes. Guirassy had two goals disallowed for offside in the first half but Dortmund were rarely troubled by the toothless visitors, who are yet to score since returning to the top flight.

Hamilton confirms no rules of engagement at Ferrari despite Monza clash with Leclerc

  • ‘When I was at Mercedes we had written rules’

  • British driver held positive talks with teammate

Lewis Hamilton has said there remain no rules of engagement between the drivers at Ferrari, despite the 41-year-old calling for the team to employ them after he clashed with his teammate, Charles Leclerc, at the last round in Monza.

Hamilton was forced wide by Leclerc at turn two on the opening lap at the Italian Grand Prix, which he felt had been unacceptable. Speaking before the first meeting for the Spanish Grand Prix at the new Madring circuit in Madrid this weekend, Leclerc admitted he had been at fault and Hamilton said the pair had talked frankly and cleared the air in a forthright fashion.

Formula One 2026: Kimi Antonelli ends 60-year home wait at Italian GP after overtaking Russell – as it happened

World championship leader Kimi Antonelli became the first Italian driver to win his home grand prix since 1966

Will Gasly hold onto the lead into the first corner? That is the first test for the on-pole Frenchman. He will have Mercedes’ George Russell and the Ferrari duo in his rear-view mirror.

Ferrari are starting on the soft tyres, which means they are aiming for a fast start. Almost everyone else is on the medium to start. This will likely be a one-stop race, with most people expected to move to the hard tyre in that stop, although some are speculating that Ferrari could go from soft to medium.
