Legendary midfielder Zidane led the Spanish side to the Champions League crown in his first spell as head coach and followed that up by making them the first team to retain the title in its current format.

Saturday’s 4-1 win over third-placed Valencia may have given Madrid a boost, but they remain with a 16-point deficit to clear....

Boston is different and the city’s sports fans know it and love it.

She got her way last week. The indictments she issued against Milosevic and four other top Serb officials were a victory in a larger battle: how to make international courts strong and independent. In its six years of life, the U.N. tribunal has only seven low-level convictions to show for its attempts to punish atrocities in the former Yugoslavia. But under Arbour, who assumed the post in October 1996, suspects are slowly being indicted and apprehended, largely because of her efforts to force the international community to take the court seriously....
