Bayern Munich's Polish forward Robert Lewandowski celebrates his second goal during the FIFA Club World Cup semi-final football match between Egypt's Al-Ahly and Germany's Bayern Munich at the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium in the Qatari city of Ar-Rayyan on February 8, 2021.(Karim JAAFAR / AFP) The German giants are bidding to become only the second club after Barcelona, who managed it in 2009, to win all six domestic and international titles available in a single season. Having already claimed the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, German Super Cup, Bundesliga and German Cup titles in 2020, Bayern want to complete the set. Bayern captain Manuel Neuer has made it clear the German giants are "up for it, we can make history," sentiments echoed by head coach Hansi Flick. "We came here to win the title. That would be the icing on the cake and also a special success in Bayern Munich's successful club history," said Flick ahead of the final in Al Rayyan, on the outskirts of Doha. After brushing past African champions Al Ahly of Egypt with a 2-0 win in Monday's semi-final, thanks to two Robert Lewandowski goals, only Tigres now block Bayern's path. The CONCACAF champions beat Brazilian giants Palmeiras 1-0 in Sunday's other semi-final and are also hoping to make history of their own. "No other Mexican team have gone this far, but now we want more," said Tigres forward Carlos Gonzalez after veteran French striker Andre-Pierre Gignac, 35, scored the winning goal against Palmeiras. "We came here hoping to lift the trophy and now that we're close, we're encouraged and motivated that we can achieve our goal." Flick gave his Bayern stars Tuesday off to prepare for the final in which he expects a much tougher test against Tigres. "They are a very dynamic team, very athletic with a lot of power. We have to counter that well," he warned. Bayern's top scorer Lewandowski continues to send goal records tumbling having netted 29 times in 27 Bayern games this season, but …

LEICESTER, England, Oct 28 - Leicester City soccer club owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, a Thai tycoon, was killed along with four others when his helicopter crashed and then exploded after a Premier League match on Saturday, the soccer club and police said. Vichai bought the unheralded central England side in 2010 and went on to stun the soccer world by beating odds of 5,000/1 to win the Premier League title in 2016 in what amounted to a sporting fairy tale. The father of four and founder of duty-free King Power International was a huge favourite with the club's fans. "It is with the deepest regret and a collective broken heart that we confirm our chairman, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, was among those to have tragically lost their lives on Saturday evening when a helicopter carrying him and four other people crashed outside King Power Stadium," a club statement said on Sunday. The aircraft came down in a car park near the King Power stadium shortly after 19:30 GMT, about an hour after the end of Leicester City's game against West Ham United, police said. The other victims were believed to be two members of his staff, Nursara Suknamai and Kaveporn Punpare, pilot Eric Swaffer and passenger Izabela Roza Lechowicz, Leicestershire Police said. No one on the ground was believed to have been injured, they said. According to witnesses, the helicopter had barely cleared the top of the stadium before it started to spin. It then plummeted to the ground and burst into flames. John Butcher, who was near the stadium at the time of the crash, told the BBC his nephew saw the helicopter spiral out of control apparently because of a faulty rear propeller. "Within a second, it dropped like a stone to the floor. ... Luckily it did spiral for a little while and everybody sort of ran, sort of scattered." Title win After pumping millions of pounds into the club, Vichai helped steer Leicester back into the top flight in 2014 before they stunned the sport by beating …
