Caballero will be one of four players to be released this month at the end of his contract, so Bravo will fight for a starting spot with the Moraes, who has played for Brazil’s under-23 side but not the country’s senior team.

It is City’s second big signing of the offseason. The club bought attacking midfielder Bernardo Silva from Monaco for a reported 43 million pounds ($55 million).

Guardiola is also in the market for full backs in what is set to be another offseason of big spending by City.

Cristiano Ronaldo has saved his best for last. Ronaldo enters the Champions League final playing his best soccer of the season, peaking at the right time as Real Madrid gets ready to take on Juventus on Saturday in Cardiff, Wales.

“I feel good,” Ronaldo said before traveling to Britain, “in great form.”

The Portugal forward paced himself like never before this season, skipping several games so he could stay fresh and thrive in the final stretch.

Golf superstar Tiger Woods looks disoriente­d and unsteady in police video of his Monday arrest on a charge of driving under the influence, according to footage obtained and broadcast by US media on Wednesday. The video, from a dashboard camera in the vehicle of Jupiter, Florida, police officers, shows Woods unable to tie his shoe and wobbling as he tries to walk along a straight line in a field sobriety test. Woods has blamed the DUI arrest near his home on an adverse reaction to prescripti­on medication.

The police report on the incident, made public on Tuesday, said Woods was “cooperativ­e” and “confused” when found by police, with “extremely slow and slurred speech.”

The video seen Wednesday backs up that report.

Woods is unable to follow a light with his eyes when asked to do so. When officers ask if he understand­s instructio­ns to recite the alphabet, he says he was asked “not to sing the national anthem backwards.”

At one point in the sobriety tests Woods asks, “What are we doing?”

The 14-time major champion was taken into custody at 2:49 am Monday, booked into jail at 7:18 am and released on his own recognizan­ce at 10:50 am.

He was discovered by police asleep in his car in the right lane of a road, his right turn indicator blinking and the motor running.

Both tires on the driver’s side of Woods’s Mercedes were flat at the time of his arrest, and there was damage to the front and rear bumpers. Woods told police he was taking several prescripti­ons, including two painkiller­s. His breathalyz­er test showed no sign of alcohol. “I understand the severity of what I did, and I take full responsibi­lity for my actions,” Woods said in his statement on the incident.

“I want the public to know that alcohol was not involved. What happened was an unexpected reaction to prescribed medication­s. I didn’t realize the mix of medication­s had affected me so strongly.”
