Neymar announced Saturday night that he will sign a five-year deal with Barcelona on Monday so he could play one last match for Santos on Sunday. The 21-year-old has become Brazil's most celebrated and treasured footballer, winning the Copa Libertadores in 2011 and just about every individual award the country has to offer in his four years with the first team. But on Sunday, it came to an end against Flamengo and Neymar was clearly moved.

He wept during the national anthem before game, which ended in a 0-0 draw. From Reuters:

"It was an honour to have played for this marvelous team Santos, I am so happy I did," he told reporters.

"Every child has a dream, either to be a player, a dentist or a reporter. My dream was to become a professional athlete and I have achieved that. Today Barcelona is fulfilling my dream of going to a totally beautiful team," he told Globo TV.

Now he moves on to a new home and a bigger challenge. It will be an environment that will probably be much harsher on

Bayern Munich avoided a third Champions League final embarrassment in four years when Arjen Robben made up for his past mistakes by scoring an 89th minute goal to give his side a 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund. The match appeared almost certain to be Bayern's second straight Champions League final to go to extra time, but Robben's long-awaited goal spared them that added test of their nerves. Still, we're left to wonder "What if it continued?"

97' -- Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski regrets using up all of his goals against Real Madrid. He vows to pace himself better next season when he's playing for Bayern.

99' -- Feeling bold after the referee's refusal to send him off for the blatant foul that led to Dortmund's penalty kick in the 68th minute, Bayern defender Dante briefly considers trying to bite an opponent just to see how it feels. But the moment passes and he decides to just stick his finger in someone's ear instead.

Dan Boyle made himself perfectly clear about the San Jose Sharks' mindset headed into Game 6 versus the Los Angeles Kings.

"No," he said, even before he had been asked a single question. "We don't want to go down 4-2."

That's that veteran wisdom speaking. History tells us that the four-game hole is an insurmountable deficit. No team in NHL history has ever come back from it.

If the Sharks hope to force a seventh and deciding game, the plan is simple: play a whole lot better than they did in Game 5, when they were outshot 29-24 and dished out 24 hits to LA's series-high 51.

But the key isn't to match LA's physicality. It's to stop enabling it with sluggish play, according to Todd McLellan, who seemed far more concerned with bringing LA's hit totals down than bringing San Jose's up.

INDIANAPOLIS – The heartbreak is over. After all the years of frustration, Tony Kanaan is at last an Indy 500 champion.

Yes, Kanaan won under caution, but that was the only blemish on an otherwise exceptional afternoon, both for Kanaan and for the Indy 500 in general. Kanaan ran a near-flawless race, punctuated by a last-minute pass of Ryan Hunter-Reay on the final green flag to guarantee himself the win.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you," he said over his radio as he crossed the finish line.

Rookie Carlos Munoz started second and finished second, followed by Hunter-Reay, Marco Andretti and Justin Wilson. Helio Castroneves and Dario Franchitti were both bidding for a record-tying fourth Indy win, but Castroneves finished sixth and Franchitti 23rd.

The story for much of the race was AJ Allmendinger, the Indy rookie who had jumped to the sport after a failed NASCAR drug test. But a seatbelt issue cost him time and the lead. Still, this was one of the most competitive Indy 500s in recent

Though Oakland A's starter Jarrod Parker isn't required to hit for himself very often — he has nine plate appearances over three big league season thanks to that little designated hitter rule — it still would be nice to have a few official major league bats with his own name on them.

Unfortunately, thanks to a little mishap at the Marucci manufacturing plant, Parker won't have that satisfaction this Tuesday when he makes a rare start in a National League park against the A's Bay Area rivals the San Francisco Giants.

Instead, Jarrod Parker has to settle for bats identifying him as Jarrett Parker, which could mean they were intended for the Jarrett Parker who's an outfield prospect ironically in the Giants organization currently playing for the Double-A Richmond Flying Squirrels. Or, it could also mean that we're dealing with one hilariously handcrafted and unfortunately permanent typo.

INDIANAPOLIS - Just minutes before the start of the Indy 500, a few dozen racers hit the frontstretch at a considerably slower speed than the 33 cars that would follow. But they received at least as many cheers.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway reached out to the Boston Athletic Association, inviting people who were unable to finish the Boston Marathon because of the bombing last month. Non-finishers in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky and Illinois, 35 in all, came to IMS to run a ceremonial half-mile right before noon.

“We’re here having a lot of fun today. We were treated like dignitaries,” he said, “but there were a lot of people who were hurt in the bombings. And people died. We ran for them today. They couldn’t be here and we could so we ran for them.”

“The tragedy last month in Boston still resonates with everyone, so we wanted to give runners the chance to finish the race in front of thousands of fans who will appreciate their persistence and determination,” said Doug Boles, the

David West lines one up in Game 2 (Getty Images)

In a team full of them, David West may have been Indiana’s go-to hero in the team’s Game 2 conquest over the Miami Heat. Roy Hibbert turned in a dominant performance, Paul George went toe to toe with LeBron James, and coach Frank Vogel did fantastic work in keeping his growing team from getting too despondent over a close Game 1 loss – but it was David West that did the most damage down the stretch in deflecting two LeBron James passes in the fourth quarter for crucial steals.

The work helped mask the reverse doughnut of a performance that West gave Indiana in Game 2. Hot off the heels of a 11-17 shooting performance in Game 1, West hit his first look on Friday night to continue his scoring streak against the Heat. Though this gave West 28 points against Miami’s tough defense in the series’ first 41 minutes (a continuation of a regular season that saw David average 22.7 points per game against the Heat), West struggled from there on out.

The Pacers did not make him a focus of their offense as they did in Game 1, a response to Miami’s pressure and adjustments defensively, but West had his looks. And he pressed, aiming jumpers and runners and missing his next seven shots before hitting a needed jump hook late in the fourth quarter. West’s defense, screening, and rebounding made it so the former All-Star wasn’t a millstone, and those two fantastically timed steals gave West a winner of a game overall, despite that 2-9 shooting.

That has to be his low point, though, for the Pacers to move on.

Don't ever let people tell you sideline reporting in baseball isn't a dangerous gig. It can be extremely dangerous, especially if you're not expecting that big league player to bombard your interview with a shaving cream pie or a Gatorade bucket.

All kidding aside, which we can thankfully do in this case, it really can be dangerous when the reporter is asked to take their eyes off the field for a period of time to deliver their latest hit.

Such was the scenario for Fox Sports Wisconsin's Sophia Minnaert during the Pirates 5-2 win over the Brewers at Miller Park on Saturday night. As Minnaert welcomed fans back in the top half of the third inning, she was ready to set up the broadcast's Twitter poll for the evening. However, early in to her report, Minnaert was struck by an errant baseball that knocked the microphone right out of her hands and put her report on pause for a few seconds.
