At an upcoming meeting of national soccer federations, FIFA will be urged to compensate migrant workers and families of those who died or were injured on World Cup projects in Qatar.

The issue will be raised by Norwegian soccer officials at the FIFA Congress meeting on March 16 in Rwanda, human rights group Amnesty International said Wednesday. It will be the first post-tournament meeting of more than 200 federations.

Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski has a hamstring strain and is likely to miss the "clasico" against Real Madrid in the semifinals of the Copa del Rey on Thursday.

Lewandowski picked up the left-leg injury in Barcelona's 1-0 loss at Almeria in the Spanish league on Sunday, a result that allowed Madrid to cut the Catalan club's lead to seven points.

French prosecutors have opened a preliminary investigation into a rape accusation against Paris Saint-Germain defender Achraf Hakimi, a judicial official said on Monday.

The investigation is being led by the prosecutor's office in the Paris suburb of Nanterre, the official said.

Novak Djokovic broke the record for the most time spent at No. 1 in the professional tennis rankings by a man or woman, beginning his 378th week in the ATP's top spot on Monday to surpass Steffi Graf's 377 leading the WTA.

He already held the men's mark, eclipsing Roger Federer's old ATP standard of 310 weeks in March 2021.

World Cup champion Lionel Messi edged Kylian Mbappé again, this time to take FIFA's best men's player award on Monday.

The best women's player was Spain's Alexia Putellas for a second straight year.

The Basketball World Cup field is now filled, and Lebanon is back, after its most recent appearance was in 2010.

THE FIELD

A scorching volley from Theo Hernandez led to the opening goal, Zlatan Ibrahimovic made his season debut and goalkeeper Mike Maignan returned after five months out during an encouraging 2-0 win for AC Milan over Atalanta in the Italian league on Sunday.

The victory moved the defending Serie A champion level on points with second-place Inter Milan, which lost 1-0 at Bologna, 18 points behind runaway leader Napoli.

A trip to Almeria offered a perfect chance for Barcelona to deal a major blow to Real Madrid's Spanish title defense and move past its still-stinging elimination from the Europa League.

But with Xavi Hernández feeling compelled to rest some of his best players, Barcelona put in what its coach admitted was the "worst game of the season."

With a first trophy secured, thoughts now turn to what else a transformed Manchester United can achieve in a season that is shaping up nicely for manager Erik ten Hag.

While a quadruple remains unlikely, United's four-pronged challenge is still alive after beating Newcastle 2-0 in the League Cup final on Sunday.

Kylian Mbappé scored twice and Lionel Messi got the other goal as the World Cup final stars combined to give French league leader Paris Saint-Germain a 3-0 win at title challenger Marseille.

Mbappé tops the league's scoring charts outright with 17 goals, and he matched Edinson Cavani's PSG club-record tally of 200 in the process on Sunday.
