People think Neymar's Paris St-Germain move was motivated by money

Brazil forward Neymar quoted it is "sad" that people think his world record move from Barcelona to Paris St-Germain was motivated by money.

The 25-year-old joined the French club for a fee of 222m euros (£200m) and he will earn 45m euros (£40.7m) a year.

Neymar, who could play in PSG's first league match of the season on Saturday, said his price was "not a burden".

PSG chairman Nasser Al Khelaifi added that Neymar could have earned more money at another club.

Scary wreck in NASCAR ends with a driver taken off on a stretcher

A violent wreck with 60 laps to go in the Go Bowling 400 NASCAR race in Kansas left a lot of people holding their breath as Aric Almirola had to be pried from his car and removed on a stretcher.

The wreck started when something went wrong with Joey Logano's car and he took out Danica Patrick. After those two were involved, Almirola hit Logano hard, with his car shooting up into the air.

Almirola was conscious and communicating with personnel. However, rescue workers had to remove the top of his car and pry him loose.

Moses Simon wins Gent’s Goal of the Month award

Nigeria international Moses Simon’s equaliser against Club Brugge has been named Gent’s goal of the month for April.

The Super Eagles forward brilliantly converted Samuel Kalu’s cross in the 25th minute to cancel out Wesley’s eighth minute opener at the Ghelamco Arena.

Simon later secured maximum points for Hein Vanhaezebrouck’s side after netting his brace from the penalty spot before the half time.

The Nigeria international who has found the back of the net five times in 29 games in the Belgian first division league, won the prestigious monthly award with 77 percent of votes on the club’s website.

Gent are placed third in the Belgian league title playoffs with 37 points, and will welcome Sporting Charleroi to the Ghelamco Arena on Sunday.

Real hold off Atletico comeback to reach Champions League final

Real Madrid inflicted a fourth Champions League elimination on Atletico Madrid in as many years on Wednesday, losing their semi-final second leg 2-1 but progressing to the final 4-2 on aggregate.

Atletico had threatened an incredible comeback, Saul Niguez's powerful header and Antoine Griezmann's penalty inside 16 minutes cutting Real's aggregate lead to a solitary goal.

The hosts fed off a ferocious atmosphere for their final Champions League match at the Vicente Calderon before moving to the Wanda Metropolitano next season.

However, Isco's away goal just before half-time settled Real's nerves and left Atletico with too much to do to progress.

Cristiano Ronaldo's first leg hat-trick ultimately proved decisive and Real will seek to become the first side to defend the trophy in the Champions League era when they face Juventus in the final in Cardiff on May 3.

"I am delighted to reach the final," said Real boss Zinedine Zidane.

"It is a long road to get there and to do so two years in a row, you have to congratulate the squad."

An already fierce rivalry between the Spanish giants has intensified in recent years by Real's three Champions League victories over Atletico, including in the 2014 and 2016 finals.

However, Atletico's players went a long way towards making amends for their meek display in the first leg eight days ago in a thrilling opening.

"The team showed once more why they have been competing at this level for so many years," said Atletico coach Diego Simeone.

"Those first 20, 25 minutes will be in the history of the club.

"The atmosphere was one of those magical moments in the Calderon that will live in people's memories forever."

Real goalkeeper Keylor Navas denied Koke from close range and Fernando Torres headed over, before at the other end Jan Oblak made a brilliant save from Casemiro's header.

Atletico got the goal they needed to get back into the tie 12 minutes in when Koke's outswinging corner was met powerfully by Saul for his fourth Champions League goal of the season.

Just three minutes later Atletico truly believed they could pull off the most unlikely of comebacks when Fernando Torres was upended by Raphael Varane inside the box.

Griezmann had missed his previous two penalties against Real, including in last year's Champions League final.

This time the French international found the net, albeit with a bit of fortune as Navas got a hand to his mishit spot-kick but couldn't keep it out.

Fierce challenges then rained in from both sides as Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir struggled to keep control, with five players booked inside the opening 37 minutes.

However, Real regained their composure to get the vital away goal they needed for some extra breathing space just before half-time.

Karim Benzema somehow escaped the attention of three Atletico defenders on the by-line and cut the ball back for Toni Kroos.

Oblak made another brilliant stop to deny the German, but Isco followed up from close range to bundle the ball home.

Ronaldo had scored eight times in his previous three Champions League appearances, however, the closest the World Player of the Year came to adding to his record 21 goals against Atletico was a driven free-kick at the start of the second half that was beaten away by Oblak.

Atletico had their chances to put the tie back on a knife-edge as Navas produced an incredible double save from Yannick Carrasco and Kevin Gameiro.

The Costa Rican then got down low to his right to turn behind Griezmann's low volley and Gameiro failed to turn home another great opportunity from point-blank range.

A torrential thunder storm disrupted the final stages, but lightning has now struck four times for Atletico against Real and Zidane's side will head to Cardiff seeking a 12th European Cup against his former club.
