Feb. 3 (UPI) — More than seven months after the Florida Panthers won their first Stanley Cup, the team will visit the White House on Monday to commemorate the win.
It will be the first visit by a sports team with President Donald Trump during his second term as president.
Team members flew from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport to Dulles International Airport earlier Monday.
On Sunday, the Panthers defeated the New York Islanders 6-3 at their home at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Fla. They remain atop the Atlantic Division at 32-19-3 in their third consecutive win.
On Tuesday, the Florida team will face the host Washington Capitals at Capital One Arena, where Trump celebrated after his inauguration two weeks ago.
Boston Celtics were the last team to be honored at the White House in November after winning the NBA title on June 18 against the Dallas Mavericks. They met with President Joe Biden.
Six days after the NBA final, the Panthers defeated the defending champion Edmonton Oilers in Sunrise. The Panthers lost the 2023 championship in the finals.
Other South Florida professional titles were the NFL Miami Dolphins in 1972 and 1973, the baseball Miami Marlins in 1997 and 2003, and the NBA Miami Heat in 2006, 2012 and 2013.
During Trump’s first term, 20 major sports teams won championships but only 10 celebrated at the White House.
Trump did not invite some of the winning teams and others expressed no desire to attend even if they had received an invitation.
In 2017, Trump served fast food when he welcomed the Clemson Tigers after winning their 2016 college football title.
President Donald Trump announced today that he will be welcoming the Stanley Cup champions, the Florida Panthers, to the White House for a special ceremony in their honor. The Panthers recently clinched their first ever Stanley Cup victory, and Trump is eager to celebrate their historic achievement.
The ceremony will take place next week, and Trump is expected to praise the team for their hard work, dedication, and sportsmanship throughout the season. He will also present the players and coaching staff with a special commemorative gift to mark the occasion.
The Florida Panthers have had an incredible season, and their Stanley Cup win has brought great pride and excitement to their fans across the country. This visit to the White House will be a memorable and prestigious moment for the team, and a chance for them to bask in the glory of their well-deserved victory.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting event as details are finalized. Congratulations to the Florida Panthers on their remarkable achievement! #FloridaPanthers #StanleyCupChampions #WhiteHouseCelebration

Cristiano Ronaldo turns 40 on Wednesday but is showing few signs of slowing down as he prepares to lead Saudi club Al-Nassr against Al-Wasl in the Asian Football Confederation’s Champions League Elite.
LIVE UPDATES | AL NASSR VS AL WASL LIVE SCORE, AFC CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
The Portuguese star, who signed for the Riyadh club in December 2022, leads the Saudi Pro League scoring charts with 15 goals in 17 games.
If Ronaldo can reproduce that form in the continental tournament — there are two games remaining in the group stage, from which his team has already qualified — then Al-Nassr has a chance to become Asian champion for the first time.
“The best birthday gift for Ronaldo is to achieve victory against Al-Wasl,” Al-Nassr coach Stefano Pioli said ahead of the Monday meeting. “It is an important match for us and we want the three points.”
After winning the UEFA Champions League five times with Manchester United and Real Madrid, Ronaldo’s chances of winning a first Asian title have been bolstered with Al-Nassr’s signing of Jhon Duran from English Premier League club Aston Villa for a reported fee of around USD 79 million last week.

According to reports in Saudi Arabia, Duran has already been registered in time to play against Al-Wasl of the United Arab Emirates. “Duran is in good shape,” Pioli said. “We will decide how best to use him.”
The team will certainly be without former Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte, who is absent for personal reasons. There are also injury issues for another defender, Ali Lajami, as well as Portuguese midfielder Otavio.
Al-Nassr is in third place in the 12-team group, behind Saudi rivals Al-Hilal and Al-Ahli, both unbeaten after six games.
Al-Hilal has won four continental titles, more than any other Asian club. The Blues have lost Neymar ahead of their match against Persepolis of Iran. Brazil’s record scorer returned to South America last week after an injury-hit spell of just seven appearances in 18 months for Al-Hilal.
“We are looking forward to the game,” coach Jorge Jesus said. “Our ambitions are always to win at home and in Asia.”
Al-Ahli, with former English Premier League stars such as Riyad Mahrez and Ivan Toney, has the offensive strength to win the Champions League for the first time. The Jeddah club, currently second, heads to Qatar to take on Al-Sadd.
All 12 teams in the western zone — the tournament is split into two geographic halves until the quarterfinals — are in with a chance of finishing in the top eight and progressing to the knockout stage.
The eastern zone resumes next week.
The AFC Champions League is heating up as the 2024-25 season kicks off, and all eyes are on one player in particular – Cristiano Ronaldo. The footballing legend is set to make his debut in the prestigious tournament before celebrating his 40th birthday later this year.
Ronaldo, who is known for his incredible goal-scoring ability and unmatched work ethic, will be looking to lead his team to victory in the competition. Despite his age, the Portuguese superstar shows no signs of slowing down and continues to impress fans and critics alike with his performances on the pitch.
Having dominated European football for so many years, Ronaldo now has his sights set on conquering the Asian stage with his new team. With his wealth of experience and winning mentality, he is sure to be a force to be reckoned with in the AFC Champions League.
Fans around the world are eagerly anticipating Ronaldo’s debut in the tournament, and many are excited to see what he will bring to the table. Will he be able to lead his team to glory and add another trophy to his already impressive collection? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – Cristiano Ronaldo is ready for ACL action before his 40th birthday.

Sterling fails to shine as Arsenal’s Champions League draw looms
Here’s Ian Mills with his latest Three Things We Learned after Arsenal’s Champions League win at Girona
We secured a top three finish in the Champions League ‘League’ phase with a win in Spain in our final game of the opening eight fixtures.
Here is Ian Mills’ latest Three Things We Learned series piece below:-
1 – Nwaneri keeps on getting better –
A first Champions League start and a first goal for our wonderfully gifted Hale End graduate with the man of the match award to boot.
He has now scored in every competition he has played in this campaign and took his overall goalscoring tally to six so far with a great strike which was bent into the bottom corner for what tuned out to the winner in this entertaining clash.
He has taken to the right-wing position with aplomb and already offers a genuine goal threat in every game he plays.
At 17 he is clearly only going to get better and what a great time all us Gooners are going to have watching him blossom into a major first team star.
2 – Impressive Champions League form offers a chance of silverware –
Whilst finishing in third place in the League format was great to see, our record from eight games was really good, with six wins, a draw and a single defeat.
We conceded only three times and kept five clean sheets in total. While some of our fixtures were not overly entertaining (a fair summation of quite a lot of games in this new format) our strong defence helped to see us over the line and is the foundation upon which our Champions League hopes are built this season.
3 – Loan players fail to shine once more –
When we were awarded our second penalty of the evening, I assumed that either Martin Odegaard or Kai Havertz would take the spot kick.
You would have got long odds on Raheem Sterling being most Gooners first choice, and I was not at all confident he would score.
As it turned out, it was a reasonable save (albeit a good height for the Girona goalkeeper) and the taker looked crestfallen.
Whatever his confidence levels before the penalty, they are certain to have nosedived further still.
While Sterling was struggling in attack, Neto was having a debut to forget in goal. Having been caught out way off his line for Girona’s goal he then inexplicably tried to save it while out of his area.
I accept he has warmed our bench all season so far which is never an easy thing to do, however it is to be hoped that the injury that kept David Raya of the matchday squad is not too serious and that he can return for the crucial with Manchester City at the weekend.
The bid for Ollie Watkins shows that the club have money to spend on them right type of forward – let’s hope can either sign him or someone else to help us score the goals we are going to need for the remainder of the season ahead.
As the UEFA Champions League draw approaches, all eyes are on Arsenal and their star player Raheem Sterling. However, Sterling has failed to shine in recent matches, leaving fans concerned about the team’s chances in the upcoming tournament.
Despite his impressive performances in the past, Sterling has struggled to find his form this season. His lackluster performances have been a cause for worry among Arsenal supporters, who were hoping for a standout player to lead the team to victory in the Champions League.
With the draw looming, Arsenal’s hopes for a successful campaign rest on Sterling’s ability to rediscover his best form. The team will need him at his best if they are to compete with the top clubs in Europe and make a deep run in the competition.
As the pressure mounts, all eyes will be on Sterling to deliver when it matters most. Only time will tell if he can rise to the occasion and help Arsenal achieve their Champions League dreams.

Arsenal scored two goals in four first-half minutes as they came from behind to beat Girona to qualify for the knockout stage of the Champions League.
The Gunners were all-but through to the last 16 of the competition going into the match but build up to the game was dominated with talk about their approach for Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins.
Girona looked like they were about to pull off a shock result when they took the lead in the 28th minute.
Neto, making his Arsenal debut in goal in place of the injured David Raya, raced out of his box and Arnaut Danjuma curled the ball past him into the empty net.
Arsenal drew level with a penalty 10 minutes later through Jorginho after Thomas Partey was brought down in the area by Arnau Martinez.
The Gunners were then ahead just before half time when 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri cut in from the right hand side and curled an effort into the bottom corner.
Girona thought they had scored a second and levelled the match when Cristhian Stuani tapped in from close range in the second half but the goal was ruled out for offside.
Arsenal had a chance to add a third in stoppage time but Raheem Sterling had a penalty saved by Pau Lopez.
The result leaves Arsenal on 19 points and comfortably in the top eight heading into the knockout rounds.
Mikel Arteta has spoken about wanting to take his side away for a mid-season break and as Arsenal will not be involved in the play-off games in February, there’s a 10 day gap in their schedule where he may be able to that.
Arsenal secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Girona in the Champions League group stage, with young midfielder Ethan Nwaneri putting in a standout performance to help the Gunners reach the last 16 of the competition.
Nwaneri, who has been making a name for himself in the Arsenal youth setup, opened the scoring with a stunning long-range strike that left the Girona goalkeeper rooted to his spot. The 18-year-old showed great composure and skill throughout the match, dictating play in midfield and linking up well with his teammates.
Despite Girona equalizing in the second half, Arsenal regained the lead with a goal from veteran striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Gunners held on for the win, securing their spot in the knockout stages of the Champions League.
Manager Mikel Arteta was full of praise for Nwaneri after the match, highlighting his maturity and talent on the ball. The young midfielder has been tipped for a bright future at Arsenal, and his performance against Girona only solidified that belief.
With Nwaneri’s emergence as a key player in the first team, Arsenal fans have reason to be optimistic about their team’s chances in the Champions League this season. The Gunners will be looking to make a deep run in the competition, and with players like Nwaneri in top form, they have every chance of doing so.

64′ Arsenal 3-1 Manchester City
City look shell-shocked after conceding that sloppy goal seconds after going level, and they are punished!
Lewis-Skelly, just 18 years old and from Islington in north London, not far from here at all, receives the ball outside the box with his back to goal.
He turns, dribbles forward, looks like he’s going to shoot with his left foot but instead cuts back onto his right and lashes it towards the bottom-right corner.
Goalkeeper Stefan Ortega, who has been seriously dodgy today, gets a big hand to it but can only deflect it upwards into the top corner. He should probably do better, but Lewis-Skelly and Arsenal won’t care!
The young man then runs to the corner and does the ‘meditation’ pose made famous by Erling Haaland. Wonder what Haaland is thinking right about now…
Lewis-Skelly with a beaming smile that would light up the whole pitch in the January evening darkness. No floodlights needed!
In a stunning turn of events, Arsenal have taken a commanding 4-1 lead against reigning champions Manchester City in a thrilling Premier League showdown. The latest goal came from Kai Havertz, who capitalized on a defensive mistake to extend Arsenal’s lead.
Stay tuned for live updates as the Gunners look to secure a memorable victory against the formidable Manchester City side. Can they hold on to their lead and claim all three points?

Florence, 2 February 2025 – It is a mistake to trust and above all to underestimate Genoa. It is a mistake to let yourself be carried away and involved by the flash of the market that in these hours could improve the quality (and ambitions) of the Fiorentina.
So the Viola Sunday will be lived on a double pitch, a double track between business in progress and – indeed – the result to be achieved against Genoa to follow up on the coup at Lazio’s home seven days ago, to restart the prospect of the Champions area and live with a little less apprehension the one-two against Inter that will take place between next Thursday and Monday.
Yes, Genoa. A tough team, very different (since Vieira has been leading it) compared to the fragile one faced in the first leg, but that said, Palladino (in the stands to serve the disqualification round) does not give himself excuses and wants to win. Period. Hence the choice to get the best and the most from that offensive axis invented in Rome and to focus strongly on the attacking trio composed of Kean with the support of the ideas and class of Gud and above all Beltran.
It is with these players – waiting (and we return to the other field) for the solutions that the market will bring – that Fiorentina has the opportunity to climb the rankings of a season that can give satisfaction. The tactical transformation against Lazio (a basic module, the 4-2-3-1, remodeled and remodelable in real time, even minute by minute) is in fact the solution that Palladino intends to re-present with Genoa. Then… then, we will see because the difference will be made by the grafts of the business of these hours.
Kean, Gud and Beltran, but not only them. Here Fiorentina-Genoa will be the occasion to measure once again the great (and decisive) versatility of Folorunsho. First winger, then mezzala, then connecting midfielder and today – thanks to the absences of Adli and Cataldi – almost certainly a midfielder suited to closing down, covering and counter-attacking.
Fiorentina-Genoa as a starter for the restart towards the Champions League and with the enthusiasm that Commisso also wanted to relaunch in his contact from the United States. Because the standings continue to say this, keeping the finish line more than alive of the Europa League but also giving a glimpse of the Champions League.
Beating Genoa would mean having seen a mature and concrete team again, different from the one that struggled in six games in a row that yielded just two points. Palladino has everyone’s trust. But especially that of Commisso. Palladino wants to run and dream. Florence and Fiorentina know this.
Fiorentina fans have plenty to be excited about as their team continues to strengthen with the addition of young talents Gud and Beltran next to the experienced Kean. The trio forms a powerful attacking force that has the potential to take the Serie A by storm.
With a blend of youth and experience, Fiorentina’s quality formula is proving to be a winning combination on the pitch. Gud and Beltran bring creativity and flair, while Kean adds a lethal finishing touch to the team’s attacking play.
As Fiorentina sets their sights on Champions League qualification, fans can look forward to seeing their team compete against Europe’s elite. With a talented squad and a winning mentality, the Viola are ready to take on the biggest clubs in the continent and make a name for themselves on the grand stage.
So, keep an eye on Fiorentina this season as they aim to achieve their goals with Gud and Beltran leading the charge alongside Kean. It’s going to be an exciting journey for the Viola as they push for success in both Serie A and the Champions League.

Der Super-Stürmer darf nicht ran!
Nach einem ordentlichen Einstand für Manchester City in der Premier League (3:1 gegen Chelsea) steht der Ex-Frankfurter Omar Marmoush vor dem Spiel gegen den FC Brügge in der Champions League (21 Uhr, im Liveticker bei SPORT BILD) nicht einmal im Kader der Cityzens – was ist denn da los?
Entwarnung für alle Fans: Es liegt nicht an der sportlichen Leistung des Ägypters, einem Zerwürfnis oder einer Verletzung. Vielmehr verhindert eine Regel der Uefa seinen Einsatz.
Obwohl Marmoush in dieser Saison noch nicht in der Champions League aufgelaufen ist (mit der Eintracht spielte er in der Europa League), ist der Nationalspieler aufgrund der Uefa-Wettbewerbsbestimmungen nicht spielberechtigt. Das letzte Ligaphase-Spiel für City muss daher ohne die neueste Waffe von Trainer Pep Guardiola (53) stattfinden.
Im „Endspiel“ gegen Brügge kann Man-City-Trainer Pep Guardiola seinen Neuling Marmoush nicht bringen
Erklärung: Laut Uefa dürfen Mannschaften in allen drei europäischen Wettbewerben keine neuen Spieler registrieren, die im Januar-Transferfenster verpflichtet wurden. Marmoush kam von Frankfurt für insgesamt 80 Millionen Euro.
Sollte City gewinnen und in die K.-o.-Phase einziehen, könnte Marmoush durch eine Registrierung aber ohne Probleme eine Spielberechtigung erhalten. Teams dürfen vor Beginn der Play-offs jeweils drei neue Spieler registrieren.
Manchester wird die Dienste des knipsenden Ägypters (20 Tore in 26 Spielen für Frankfurt) schmerzlich vermissen: Peps Team steht auf dem 25. Rang von 36 Mannschaften – und ist der einzige englische Klub, der sich nicht unter den ersten 20 wiederfindet.
Klar ist: Ein Unentschieden gegen Brügge reicht den Skyblues nicht! Das oder sogar eine Niederlage würde bedeutet, dass Man City diese Saison international nicht mehr stattfindet.
Erschwerend kommt für die Superstars um Erling Haaland (24), Phil Foden (24) und Co. hinzu: Auch für Brügge geht es noch um den Einzug in die Play-offs – und damit international um alles.
In einem überraschenden Schritt wird Omar Marmoush nicht im Champions League-Spiel gegen Brügge antreten. Manchester City steht vor einer Herausforderung, da der talentierte Stürmer fehlen wird. Die Fans sind besorgt, wie sich das Fehlen von Marmoush auf das Team auswirken wird. Bleiben Sie dran, um zu sehen, wie Manchester City diese Hürde überwindet und ob sie trotzdem als Sieger vom Platz gehen können. #ChampionsLeague #ManchesterCity #OmarMarmoush #Fußball
