Real Madrid star involved in ‘heated argument’ with teammate during training

A member of the defensive ranks at La Liga giants Real Madrid was recently involved in a serious altercation with a Blancos teammate at the club’s training ground.

The stopper in question? Antonio Rüdiger.

The incident in question, it is understood, took place at Valdebebas in April, and saw the German’s infamous temper get the better of him once more.

As per a report from The Athletic:

‘Antonio Rüdiger was involved in a heated argument with another first-team player in the dressing rooms at Real Madrid’s training ground in April.’

It is added that the former Chelsea man was the instigator in the back-and-forth.

Rüdiger later apologised to the teammate in question, as well as the rest of Álvaro Arbeloa’s squad, for his outburst.

The 33-year-old, in a further show of good faith, then invited his teammates and their families out for an organised lunch late last week.

Vanderbilt's Tyler Tanner, Mark Byington earn TSWA player, coach of year awards

Vanderbilt men's basketball guard Tyler Tanner and coach Mark Byington have more hardware to store after they were named player and coach of the year May 5 by the Tennessee Sports Writers Association.

Tanner, a Brentwood Academy graduate who will enter his junior year next season if he opts out of the 2026 NBA Draft, averaged 19.5 points, 5.1 assists and 2.4 steals per game for the Commodores last season. He was named an honorable mention All-American by The Associated Press and the National Association of Basketball Coaches.

The first-team All-SEC pick also was named to the league's All-Defensive Team. He set team single-season records in assists (184) and steals (86). He also is the only player from a high-major program to have more than 700 points, 180 assists and 85 steals in one season and is the first men's college basketball player to do it since Steph Curry (Davidson) and David Holston (Chicago State) did it in 2008-09.

What Mark Byington accomplished in 2025-26

Byington led the Commodores a 27-9 record, the second-most single-season wins in program history. In the process, he became the first Vanderbilt coach to win at least 20 games in each of his first two seasons.

He also led the Commodores to their second consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance and their first tournament win since 2012. They reached the SEC championship game for the first time since 2012 and spent 14 weeks in the AP poll, peaking at No. 10.

The Commodores also passed the 3,000-point mark for the first time in program history.
