AC Milan squandered a golden opportunity to close the gap at the ​top of Serie A as they fell to a 1-0 defeat at Lazio on Sunday after Gustav Isaksen struck in the first half, leaving the visitors eight points adrift of league leaders Inter Milan, Reuters reported. 

Milan had the chance to close in on their city rivals after Inter were held to a 1-1 home draw by Atalanta on Saturday but failed to ​capitalise in a match that saw them struggle to assert control. The defeat was Milan's first away loss ​in the league this season.

The hosts pushed forward and Daniel Maldini set up Kenneth Taylor, ⁠whose powerful effort struck the crossbar in the 25th minute, according to Reuters. 

The "Finalissima," a match between reigning European champion Spain and South American champion Argentina scheduled for March 27 in Qatar, has been canceled due to continued conflicts in the Middle ​East, UEFA announced on Sunday, Reuters reported. 

Additionally, contrary to speculation otherwise, ESPN reported Sunday night that Argentinian and Inter Miami star Lionel Messi had no role in the cancellation, instead citing sources that the star viewed the match as a chance for another title and one last key warmup ​before the World Cup.

Spain, the UEFA EURO champion in 2024, and 2024 CONMEBOL Copa ​America winner Argentina were looking to repeat the pre-World Cup match in ⁠2022 that pitted reigning European champ Italy against the 2021 Copa America winner Argentina. ​The match also could have been the first time 18-year-old Spanish sensation Lamine Yamal and the ​38-year-old Messi met on the pitch, according to Reuters. 

Jannik Sinner claimed his maiden Indian Wells title on Sunday, defeating Daniil Medvedev 7-6(6) 7-6(4) in a polished display of hard-court excellence under the California ​desert sun, Reuters reported. 

The Italian was imperious throughout, finishing with 28 winners, 10 aces and a ‌perfect eight out of eight net points.

He is now only the third player in history to win all six ATP Masters 1000 hard-court titles, joining Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, according to Reuters ​​​​​​. 

England ended the Six Nations with a bitter taste after a last-gasp 48-46 defeat by France but with a clearer blueprint of how they want to play, head coach Steve ​Borthwick said after a breathless title decider on Saturday, Reuters reported. 

Thomas Ramos’s late penalty won it at ‌the Stade de France, condemning England to a fourth defeat of the campaign despite their most fluent attacking display of the championship.

“I’d first congratulate France on a tremendous performance today and huge congratulations to them for winning the title,” Borthwick told ​reporters after England lost four games for the first time in a Six Nations campaign, according to Reuters.
