We are deeply saddened to hear the passing of Mircea Lucescu, the winning manager of our UEFA Super Cup and 15th Turkish league titles. Rest in peace Luce, we will never forget you.

AC Milan fondly remembers Mircea Lucescu, a true man of football and a fair opponent in many matches. The Club expresses its deepest condolences and stands close to his family at this difficult time.

From Romania to the world, his legacy lives in every player he inspired, every match he transformed, every dream he helped take flight. Mircea Lucescu, one of the greatest football coaches ever. A man of legend. Rest in peace, Maestro. ⚽

We are deeply saddened to learn that the great Mircea Lucescu has passed away aged 80. UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin has paid tribute to "one of the game’s true originals – a man of rare football intellect, remarkable dignity and passion." 🔗 uefa.com/news-media/new…

One of the greatest. Thank you, Mircea Lucescu!

These have been the most human Olympic Games in recent memory. Greatness no longer needs a medal to prove it. It exists, de spițe imperfection, mistakes, injuries, and pressure. I’m moved to see athletes revealing their vulnerabilities in public, opening conversations about their mental, and even spiritual, well-being. Because in the end, we are not robots. And we don’t need to compete with them - we need to remain human alongside them. I grew up in a family of elite athletes. Behind the beautiful memories, there is also deep pain, emotional strain that depends on how open a heart is to feel and to express. Athlete-artists, as I like to call those who take performance to another level, carry this weight. Through them, we may learn to recognize our own struggles sooner, and move more gently through the art of being. I’m leaving this photograph here with Ilia Malinin, a perfect image of a future that is still human, still imperfect. Grazie, @milanocortina26! ❤️‍🩹❤️ Photo - Getty

“What is real is not the external form, but the essence of things.” In this anniversary year, we choose to return to what Constantin Brâncuși sought throughout his life: the essence of things. In a world that often looks only at surfaces, measures worth by appearance, and mistakes noise for meaning, Brâncuși’s search for essence feels more urgent than ever. Starting with the 2026 edition, Brâncuși Week will propose an annual theme, a lens through which to explore both his creative process and our own. ”The Essence of Things” Brâncuși Week, 12th Edition February 16–22, 2026 This is a cultural initiative launched in 2015 by @cineandreea, through @blouse_roumaine , as a social media celebration of the life and work of Constantin Brâncuși, around February 19th, engaging communities, artists, and the wider public. #BrancusiWeek #TheEssenceOfThings #Brancusi150 Photo credit - MoMA The Museum of Modern Art Installation view of the gallery "Constantin Brâncuși" in the exhibition "Collection 1880s-1940s" October 21, 2019–January 10, 2024.

Novak Djokovic after his epic AO semifinal win: crosses himself, eyes to heaven, thanks God. A timeless reminder for every one of us, in any pursuit: Work like everything depends on you. Trust like everything depends on a higher plan. Persevere through pain, doubt, setbacks, and silence. Surrender the outcome to hands greater than your own. Faith + relentless effort = the quiet force that carries people through the impossible—whether on a tennis court, in a boardroom, in recovery, in raising kids, or simply trying to become a better version of yourself. The victory isn’t only in the result. It’s in showing up, believing, and letting go. Keep showing up. Keep trusting. The breakthrough is already in motion.

Emotional seeing this, Charly Gomez has been by Djokovic side for many years, he himself works tirelessly for the team, he knew just how hard Djokovic worked in the off season, sacrifices he made and how much this win means to him. This meant a lot. ❤️

When waiting stops paying, people stop waiting. They start predicting.

Dancers perform to the classic "Swan Lake" by Tchaikovsky, and a family of swans swims peacefully along the shores of the lake during the performance. It looks like a scene from a movie.

Christopher Nolan shot Batman Begins (2005) entirely on 35mm film, refusing digital cameras. He told American Cinematographer magazine, “Film is the best way to capture the texture and gravity of light.” He has refused digital ever since.

God favors the brave. Dare to step forward, even when the path is uncertain .

As in sculpture, there is a revolutionary Romanian artist in sports, too. The Bird in Space of Constantin Brâncuși and David Popovici, the world’s fastest swimmer Photos - @ngadc, @elpaisuy Manuel Vazquez english.elpais.com/sports/2023-07…
