La finalul întâlnirii dintre PSG și Inter, mulți s-au întrebat dacă au urmărit într-adevăr o finală de Liga Campionilor sau un meci din campionatul județean unde diferența dintre cele 2 echipe este ca cea de la cer la pământ. Ne-am așteptat la un meci cu nerv cu încleștări de o parte și de cealaltă și ne-am trezit cu cel mai dezechilibrat ultim act din istorie! Niciodată în cele 69 de finale disputate de-a lungul timpului nu a fost o diferență de 5 goluri într-un meci cu trofeul pe masă între teoretic, cele mai bune două echipe ale competiției! Au mai fost rezultate de 4-0, și Steaua a pierdut cu AC Milan în 1989 la un astfel de scor, dar românii au jucat totuși ceva atunci. A mai fost un 7-3 între Real Madrid și Eintracht Frankfurt în 1960, dar niciodată un 5-0! PSG cinci la nimic Inter! Una manita din partea spaniolului Luis Enrique.Și Istvan Kovacs  trebuie felicitat, chiar dacă nu prea a avut ce arbitra. Nu a acordat niciun minut de prelungiri, curmând suferința Interului și e primul arbitru cu trei finale europene în CV, Conference, Europa și Champions LeagueNu ar fi multe de spus despre un meci în care o singură echipă a existat pe teren și a știut exact ce își dorește, în timp ce cealaltă a avut o atitudine fricoasă, fără vlagă și subordonată. Hakimi și noua stea a fotbalului francez, Desire Doue în primele 20 de minute au clarificat lucrurile, apoi din nou Doue, georgianul Kvaratskhelia și un alt puști minune Mayulu în ultima jumătate de oră au răsucit cuțitul în rană pentru cea mai mare umilință în istoria finalelor de Champions League.Ce simte Barcelona? Dar Mbappe ?După un asemenea deznodământ, ar fi curios de aflat ce simt cei de la Barcelona și în ce stare de spirit este fosta vedetă a parizienilor Kilian Mbappe. Echipa catalană a etalat un fotbal șampanie pe toata durata sezonului și teoretic trebuia să fie la Munchen în locul Interului și să ofere meciul pe care îl aștepta toată planeta. Cât despre, Kylian Mbappe, acesta s-a comportat ca un copil râzgâiat după ce a luat saci cu bani și a anunțat că pleacă la Madrid să câștige trofeul Champions League. E puțin ironic că fix după plecarea sa PSG, a câștigat trofeul pentru prima dată în istorie și devine a noua echipă care bifează tripla Campionat-Cupă-Ligă după Celtic, Ajax, PSV, Manchester United, Barcelona, Inter, Bayern Munchen și Manchester City. PSG este noua campioană a Europei, iar Olympique Marseille nu se mai poate considera singura echipă franceză cu trofeul Champions League în vitrină. De acum, de fapt, niciun club francez nu mai are niciun avantaj față de Paris. St Etienne l-a pierdut de câțiva ani după ce în 2012 raportul de campionate câștigate arăta 10-2, acum e 10-13. Nici Lyon nu mai are avantaj în Cupa Franței după ce tot în 2012 balanța era 8-2, azi e 8-13. Acum nici Marseille nu mai poate cânta “campionii Europei, voi niciodată nu veți fi” pentru că PSG a luat și ea trofeul cu urechi și este foarte posibil să treacă în avantaj în anii următori. Altfel spus, cele 2 miliarde de euro cheltuite de când au venit petrodolarii au dat roade. Dar a meritat, căci fotbalul creat și promis de Luis Enrique este formidabil.La Luis Enrique nu au loc superstaruriSpaniolul este unul dintre puținii antrenori din lume care, probabil, a fost fericit că a scăpat de superstaruri ca Messi, Neymar, Mbappe, pentru a construi o echipă așa cum și-a dorit el. De fapt, a creat noi superstaruri pentru că tinerii lui au intrat în istorie și au băgat-o acolo și pe Inter, chiar dacă italienii stau acum de partea greșită a ei.Fanii lui PSG i-au mulțumit lui Lus Enrique într-un mod special. La sfârșitul partidei de pe Allianz Arena din Munchen au creat un banner în care fetița spaniolului, Xana, decedată la doar 9 ani după o lungă suferință din cauza unei boli incurabile, se bucură alături de tatăl său, sărbătorind împreună așa cum și-ar fi dorit amândoi. Omul care a pierdut odată totul este azi campion al Europei și nu vrea să se oprească aici. Următorul pariu este campionatul mondial al cluburilor care va începe la jumătatea lunii iunie!De partea cealaltă, Simone Inzaghi a recunoscut cã Inter nu s-a ridicat nici un moment la nivelul adversarei. Italianul nu a dat un răspuns clar dacă va continua pe banca nerazzurilor după eșecul usturător de la Munchen dar probabil șefii lui Inter se vor gândi la schimbare mai ales că echipa a pierdut anul acesta și titlul în Serie A in favoarea lui Napoli.Au câștigat băiețiiCa o concluzie, PSG-Inter a fost un meci băieți vs bărbați, însă de data asta legea au făcut-o băieții. Tânăra echipă a lui Luis Enrique a venit cu toată efervescența, toată prospețimea, toată viteza, toată exuberanța specifice vârstei și a demantelat un adversar pentru care prezența într-o finală a părut să fie prea mult. Inter a arătat ca o adunătură de bătrâni fără chef, pentru care un fotbal într-o sâmbătă seară e o povară. S-a văzut că Inter este o finalistă nedemnă încă din prima repriză. Un singur fault făcut și niciun șut pe poartă într-un mitan în care totul deja era decis spune multe despre modul în care au abordat jocul oamenii lui Inzaghi. O povară într-un meci care ar trebui să fie o bucurie, dar care s-a transformat într-o tristețe, mai ales pentru fanii italieniÎntr-adevăr, nu a părut să fie o finală de Liga Campionilor. Pentru că nici nu a fost. A fost un măcel, o execuție fără milă, o umilință. 

It's Episode 363, and LAFC has just won the most important match in club history! LAFC slays LIGA MX giant Club America, 2-1, after 120'!The atmosphere was unlike any other in the history of BMO Stadium, as Club America brought incredible support and a high-powered roster into Los Angeles for the winner-take-all showdown. After a tense, scoreless first half, Las Aquilas would get on the board first, with a little help from VAR. A soft penalty was awarded, which, of all people, Brian Rodriguez buries to put the visitors on top. Just before the 90', a perfect corner from Denis Bouanga finds the well-placed head of Igor Jesus, and we are level! What a time for Igor to score his first goal, and we are headed to Extra Time. In the second 15' half, Denis Bouanga pays off wonderful buildup from Olivier Giroud and Frankie Amaya, as his shot deflects off a defender's leg and in for the winner! LAFC is headed to the Club World Cup!Also on this episode, we take a peek at our opponents, Chelsea, Flamengo, and ES Tunis. Scarf loses his voice, Filly gets it right, Maxime Chanot is amazing without playing a minute, and apologies all around to Olivier Giroud! 

On connaissait le fameux « À jamais les premiers » de l'Olympique de Marseille… Le Parisien Dimanche rétorque ce matin d'un « À jamais les meilleurs » après la victoire sans conteste et sans pitié du Paris Saint-Germain hier en finale de la Ligue des Champions. 5-0 face à l'Inter Milan, véritable « démonstration » de force qui, écrit La Tribune Dimanche, « se hisse parmi les moments majeurs de l'histoire du sport tricolore ». Face à une équipe aussi jeune que talentueuse, les Milanais « faisaient leur âge (30 ans de moyenne sur le terrain) » plutôt que de « faire étalage de leur expérience » écrit l'hebdo un brin cruellement. Un club quasi-invisible pendant tout le match, qui a légitimé une bonne fois pour toutes « le nouveau projet » du PSG, sans Messi, sans Neymar, sans Mbappé, bref « plus jeune » et « plus français ». Un joueur a brillé Un joueur particulièrement Doué, vous me passerez le jeu de mots de piètre qualité… Désiré Doué donc, que Le Parisien Dimanche porte aux nues. Le titre, fasciné par ce « phénomène de 19 ans », auteur hier d'un doublé et d'une passe décisive. « Bien avant le coup de sifflet final, se délecte l'hebdo, il ne faisait de doute pour personne au cœur du peuple parisien que Désiré Doué n'a jamais mieux porté, mieux honoré » son patronyme. « À trois jours de son anniversaire, le vingtième, poursuit Le Parisien Dimanche, l'attaquant s'est offert le cadeau dont rêvent tous les footballeurs de la planète (…) : celui de (…) devenir l'idole de tout un club pour l'éternité ». Un exploit qui relègue le reste au second plan Notamment la présidentielle. Il faut dire que pour les votants, c'est encore dans deux ans… alors que pour les politiques, ce n'est que dans deux ans ! Candidats assumés ou présidentiables imaginés, une partie des revues s'y penche cette semaine… Parmi eux, Le Point, dont la une est consacrée à l'ancien Premier ministre Edouard Philippe. À l'occasion de la sortie de son dernier ouvrage, Le Prix de nos mensonges, celui qui fourbit ses armes depuis 2020 développe ses idées. À commencer par ce « déni français » dont souffrirait la population dans son ensemble. « Notre exceptionnelle aptitude à nous raconter des histoires m'agace » maugrée-t-il dans les colonnes du Point, jugeant que « si nous voulons avancer, nous devons arrêter de nous mentir ». Autre thème sur lequel il rejette toute discussion : « le culte de la transparence » à bannir selon lui, et « la verticalité » qu'il appelle de ses vœux car « dans une démocratie, on a besoin de gens qui sont élus, et on a besoin de chefs qui prennent des décisions ». Sur le reste, l'art de la nuance Il faut dire, comme l'analyse un politologue dans les colonnes du Point toujours, que « pour redevenir majoritaire, la droite devra faire le grand écart » c'est-à-dire à la fois « reconquérir les électeurs du Rassemblement national et convaincre les ralliés au macronisme ». Une forme de « en même temps » 2.0 dont Edouard Philippe refuse d'être l'héritier : « mon objectif n'est pas de me positionner par rapport à une étiquette, (...) à un parti, (...) à un créneau » assène-t-il. Malgré tout, Edouard Philippe prend soin de nuancer, notamment sur les questions identitaires et migratoires. « Je ne crois pas, dit-il, que la fermeté se démontre par des postures et des surenchères permanentes sur les chaînes d'info »; « il serait dangereux, affirme-t-il enfin, de créer un droit spécifique - il faut ici comprendre "droit" au sens de "loi" - pour une religion, et je ne crois pas que la laïcité impose la négation totale de la liberté religieuse dans l'espace public ». Une rupture avec les autres cadors de la droite française Et particulièrement avec Bruno Retailleau, le très droitier ministre de l'Intérieur. À son sujet, Edouard Philippe s'accorde une pique : il n'est « pas sûr » ironise-t-il, que Bruno Retailleau y verrait  « une critique » si on le rangeait dans la « droite Trocadéro », une droite embourgeoisée, catholique, et vieille-France.Droite Trocadéro on ne sait pas, droite à gogo c'est certain pour Marianne, qui n'hésite pas à qualifier le ministre de « moine-soldat de la droite » qui a « souvent croisé la route d'élus de l'extrême-droite, sans leur tourner le dos ». Va-t-il pour autant « réaliser l'union en 2027 ? » … Marianne s'interroge. Le titre pointe que « Retailleau bénéficie des faveurs de la presse de droite et d'extrême-droite » à la télé ou sur papier, où il « déroule ses saillies anti-immigration, multiplie les annonces chocs (…), et affiche une grande fermeté à l'encontre de l'Algérie ».   Le ministre de l'Intérieur le dit d'ailleurs lui-même : interrogé sur sa proximité, ou ses différences, avec le Rassemblement national, il le concède : ce qui le « distingue » de Marine le Pen ou Jordan Bardella, c'est « le programme économique » … pas un mot en revanche sur d'éventuelles divergences idéologiques. Un mot aussi de la situation internationale Que ce soit dans L'Express ou dans Le Point, une préoccupation : les liens entre l'Europe et Donald Trump. Dans le second, on parle plutôt défense et armement; dans le premier, c'est surtout de politique qu'il est question. L'Express fait ainsi le constat d'un trumpisme devenu une « franchise » voire un « label » qui « galvanise les politiques » propulsant les Giorgia Meloni et Viktor Orban de ce monde au sommet grâce à une « boîte à outils » dans laquelle « ils peuvent piocher à l'envi des "punchlines" » comme autant de coups gagnants.Le phénomène n'est en réalité pas nouveau, analyse L'Express, le trumpisme n'a fait que donner un coup d'accélérateur à une idéologie « enracin[é]e dans une colère profonde ». Car il ne faut pas sous-estimer le poids des émotions dans le contexte actuel, souligne de son côté L'Obs. Interrogée par le magazine, la sociologue franco-israélienne Eva Illouz estime ainsi que « le désenchantement et la peur sont devenus le spectre permanent de la démocratie » et que l'extrême droite « capte et organise cette émotionnalité excédentaire ». Auparavant, l'espoir était selon elle l'émotion principale, mais voilà : « la modernité tardive (…) [a] écrasé cette espérance dans le futur ». Faut-il pour autant se lamenter de toute cette colère ? Pas forcément nuance L'Obs… « les émotions fortes permettent d'évaluer ce qui est important pour soi » mais elles sont aussi une « brèche » pour peut-être, enfin, sortir de « la sur-socialisation, le fait de s'identifier totalement à un rôle ». De là à rêver au retour de l'espoir, il n'y a qu'un pas. 

Com uma atuação de gala, o Paris Saint-Germain goleou a Inter de Milão por 5 a 0, neste sábado (31), em Munique, e conquistou o título da Liga dos Campeões da Europa pela primeira vez em sua história. O time do técnico Luis Enrique mostrou sua força coletiva característica e não deu chances ao adversário. Foi a maior goleada em finais do torneio. Tiago Leme, de MuniqueEm sua 12ª temporada no PSG, o zagueiro brasileiro Marquinhos, capitão da equipe desde a saída de Thiago Silva em 2020, não escondeu a emoção e chorou após o apito final. Ele é o segundo jogador brasileiro a levantar a taça da Champions como capitão de um clube. O primeiro foi o ex-lateral Marcelo, pelo Real Madrid, em 2022.Após a final na Alemanha, Marquinhos relembrou as dificuldades vividas com o clube desde que chegou a Paris, em 2013. Mas, desta vez, o final foi feliz para o ídolo da torcida.“Acho que foi uma emoção que eu não consegui segurar, não consegui conter. Antes mesmo do apito final já estava muito difícil de segurar a emoção. Porque todos aqueles anos que eu passei aqui, os anos difíceis, muitas entrevistas que tive que dar para explicar o inexplicável, depois de uma derrota feia. Falhei em momentos também, tive culpa em alguns. Então, acho que tudo isso passou na minha cabeça naquele momento, por isso aquela emoção. Mas uma emoção muito boa, uma emoção de alegria”, afirmou o brasileiro.Decepções do passado até a glória em MuniqueAntes de conquistar o principal torneio do continente europeu neste sábado, o PSG acumulou algumas decepções. Na única final disputada anteriormente, em 2020, durante a pandemia de Covid-19, a equipe perdeu para o Bayern de Munique por 1 a 0, em Lisboa. Outras eliminações precoces também marcaram a trajetória do clube, como contra o Real Madrid nas oitavas de final em 2022, contra o Manchester United nas oitavas em 2019, e ao sofrer a virada histórica do Barcelona, também nas oitavas, em 2017.A nova geração brilha na finalApós a saída de estrelas do clube, como Neymar, Messi e Mbappé, os jovens jogadores do PSG brilharam mais uma vez na final contra o time italiano. O atacante Desiré Doué, de 19 anos, fez dois gols e deu uma assistência. Contratado no início desta temporada junto ao Rennes, ele foi eleito pela UEFA o melhor em campo na decisão.No primeiro tempo, aos 12 minutos, Hakimi abriu o placar após passe de Doué. Aos 20, Doué balançou as redes. Na segunda etapa, o jovem marcou seu segundo gol na noite, aos 18 minutos. O atacante georgiano Kvaratskhelia, reforço contratado no meio da temporada, ampliou aos 28. E o garoto Mayulu, que saiu do banco de reservas, fechou o placar aos 41 minutos: 5 a 0.Homenagem aos brasileiros que ficaram pelo caminhoJogador mais experiente da equipe, com 31 anos, Marquinhos elogiou os jovens e também relembrou nomes de jogadores brasileiros que atuaram pelo Paris, mas saíram sem conquistar o tão sonhado título.“Eu fico muito feliz, penso também em todos aqueles que passaram antes de mim, e jogaram comigo também. Grandes jogadores, Thiago (Silva), Ney (Neymar), Lucas (Moura), Maxwell, grandes jogadores que mereciam muito ganhar esse título, infelizmente não conseguiram com o Paris Saint-Germain. Então, eles merecem também, eles estão nessa história, foram eles também que fizeram esse clube crescer. Hoje é celebrar com todos os parisienses, celebrar todas aquelas pessoas que estiveram com a gente durante todos esses anos, é celebrar bastante, porque a gente merece”, disse o camisa cinco.PSG mira novos títulos: Mundial, Supercopa e maisDepois da comemoração neste fim de semana e dos jogos das seleções nacionais na sequência, o PSG ainda tem um compromisso importante neste mês de junho. A equipe francesa estreia no Mundial de Clubes, nos Estados Unidos, em 15 de junho, contra o Atlético de Madri, pelo Grupo B. Depois, enfrenta o Botafogo no dia 20 e encerra a primeira fase diante do Seattle Sounders, no dia 23. Com a conquista da Champions, o Paris também disputará o título da Supercopa da Europa, contra o Tottenham, campeão da Liga Europa, no dia 13 de agosto, em Udine, na Itália. No fim do ano, o time ainda terá a Copa Intercontinental pela frente, podendo enfrentar na final o vencedor da Libertadores de 2025.“Não é a linha de chegada”: ambição e futuroCom uma equipe jovem e média de 23 anos de idade, o Paris Saint-Germain tem um futuro promissor e vai em busca de mais troféus nas próximas competições.“Acho que agora é dar tempo ao tempo para saborear essa vitória. Mas hoje a gente mostrou a real capacidade dessa equipe. A gente tem um treinador que é muito exigente, que com certeza vai querer, quando tiver o próximo jogo, quem estiver em campo e disponível, vai ter que fazer o seu melhor. Então foi um treinador muito exigente que nos trouxe aqui”, disse Marquinhos, que completou.“Nesse momento a gente tem que festejar hoje e amanhã. Depois tem dois jogos com a seleção (contra Equador e Paraguai), jogos importantes. Depois, temos um Mundial de Clubes contra grandes clubes, que vão estar com certeza mais descansados que a gente. Mas o clube tem ambições grandes. Ganhamos a Champions, mas não é a linha de chegada. Eu acho que isso era um grande objetivo do clube, sem ser uma obsessão. A gente conseguiu e agora vamos continuar lutando pelos outros títulos que vão vir.”Neste domingo, a festa continua em Paris. Está previsto um desfile em carro aberto com os atletas na famosa avenida Champs-Élysées, seguido por um evento no estádio Parque dos Príncipes.

C dans l'air l'invitée du 31 mai 2025 avec Pierre Rondeau, économiste du sportÀ quelques heures du coup d'envoi de la finale de la Ligue des champions de l'UEFA, qui opposera le PSG à l'Inter Milan à Munich, notre invité reviendra sur la trajectoire de l'équipe emmenée par Luis Enrique, rachetée en 2011 par le Qatar et dont la renommée s'est construite ces dernières années autour de joueurs stars tels Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, ou encore Neymar. L'enjeu est d'offrir à une équipe française une deuxième victoire à ce championnat, la première remontant à 1993, remportée par l'OM. Un trophée tant souhaité par les supporters parisiens que redouté des Marseillais, « à jamais les premiers ».Si les jeunes joueurs du PSG parviennent à vaincre l'équipe expérimentée de l'Inter Milan, le club pourrait empocher le jackpot, avec 138 millions de la part de l'UEFA et 4 millions de prime de participation à la Supercoupe. Autre enjeu, sécuritaire cette fois-ci : 5 400 policiers et gendarmes seront déployés ce samedi à Paris et dans son agglomération. En cas de victoire, cette mobilisation sera maintenue le lendemain pour la parade des joueurs sur les Champs-Elysées. Quel que soit le résultat, force est de constater l'intérêt suscité par ce match, qui sera diffusé en clair, ce qui n'est pas le cas avec la Ligue 1 puisque DAZN a obtenu les droits exclusifs de sa diffusion, suscitant dès lors un fort attrait pour le piratage.Pierre Rondeau, économiste du sport et co-auteur du livre "Les Français et le sport – Bâtir une nation sportive, le défi français" aux éditions du Cherche-Midi, analysera l'évolution du PSG ces dernières années, quelques heures avant un match décisif pour le club.

À la veille de la finale de la Ligue des champions face à l'Inter Milan, le Paris Saint-Germain se retrouve une nouvelle fois sous les projecteurs. Si l'aspect sportif attire tous les regards, le parcours économique du club depuis son rachat par le Qatar en 2011 est tout aussi spectaculaire. Décryptage. C'est en 2011 que le Qatar rachète un PSG, alors criblé de dettes et peu performant sportivement, pour environ 70 millions d'euros. Depuis, le club de la capitale française a connu une métamorphose spectaculaire. Multiple champion de France, il est aujourd'hui valorisé à plus de 4 milliards d'euros, soit 60 fois son prix d'achat initial. Une montée en puissance rendue possible par une stratégie financière offensive reposant sur des investissements massifs dans tous les secteurs du club.Plus de 2 milliards d'euros investis, bien au-delà du terrainLa somme impressionne. Quelque 2,1 milliards d'euros ont été dépensés en transferts depuis 2011. Et ce montant ne comprend pas les salaires des stars comme Ibrahimovic, Cavani, Messi, Neymar ou Mbappé. À cela s'ajoutent des investissements sur le long terme, comme la rénovation du Parc des Princes et la construction d'un centre de formation moderne.Résultat, le PSG peut viser le très haut niveau européen avec un budget annuel avoisinant les 900 millions d'euros, bien au-delà des 450 millions nécessaires pour viser une demi-finale de Ligue des champions. Mais ce modèle, largement dépendant des capitaux qatariens, interroge sur sa durabilité et illustre aussi l'usage du soft power sportif sur la scène européenne.À lire aussiLa mauvaise passe financière du football françaisUne réussite économique en attente d'un sacre sportifLa domination du PSG sur la Ligue 1 ne fait plus de doute. Pourtant, l'objectif ultime reste la Ligue des champions. Cinq ans après une première finale en 2020, celle de ce samedi face à l'Inter Milan est une nouvelle opportunité de valider sportivement un projet colossal.Néanmoins, la progression du PSG a été plus lente que celle d'autres clubs rachetés par des fortunes étrangères, comme Chelsea. Le PSG est désormais une marque mondiale, notamment très populaire en Amérique du Nord, où ses maillots figurent parmi les plus vendus. Reste que sans un titre européen, cette réussite économique pourrait voir sa valeur relativisée. Car au fond, le Qatar a bel et bien fait du PSG un géant financier. Il ne manque plus que la Coupe aux grandes oreilles pour en faire une légende.

En deux saisons, l'exigeant Luis Enrique a profondément transformé le PSG pour l'emmener au seuil d'un titre historique en Ligue des champions, en finale contre l'Inter Milan samedi à Munich (21h). Il y avait eu le Paris de Mbappé, Messi et Neymar. Il y a désormais celui de Enrique. L'Espagnol de 55 ans est devenu le principal visage de l'équipe depuis deux ans. Un temps en conflit avec une partie de la presse, il a aussi su mettre de l'eau dans son vin, et stimulé un joueur comme Ousmane Dembélé en le replaçant en faux numéro 9 depuis décembre 2024. Certte saison qui a basculé un soir de janvier contre Manchester City lui donne raison. Reste à aller chercher la "coupe aux grandes oreilles"... Distribué par Audiomeans.

Fans were treated to a thrilling 3-3 draw between the Philadelphia Union and Inter Miami, with the Union blowing a two-goal lead and conceding the equalizing goal in stoppage time once again. Todd discusses the latest news, including Quinn Sullivan's inclusion in the USMNT's 27-player roster for training camp ahead of the June matches against Turkey and Switzerland.

In the final episode of this series, we bring you inside the towns of Patagonia that have a distinct Welsh falvour. From tea houses to red dragons to an adoration for the game of rugby, we travel to Trelew and Gaiman. In Buenos Aires, we sit down with Marcela Mora y Araujo to take one last look back on the 2022 World Cup triumph, and what it's done for a country that is economically on its knees. She also reveals her own story of FOMO, except it was missing out on her own nation's World Cup win, which soothes the pain of this particular story of missing out.We go to a Boca Juniors game, and we also travel to Rosario to go to a Newell's Old Boys game. It's a club that both Messi and Maradona have played for, but neither is as revered in the stadium as one Marcelo Bielsa.Before all that, there's part ten of the Patagonian hitchhiking journey, as Eoin tries to get himself to his destination of Ushuaia.Follow Eoin…https://www.instagram.com/eoinsheahan/https://x.com/EoinSheahanhttps://www.tiktok.com/@eoinsheahanEmail: eoinsheahan1@gmail.com

Todos quieren verse cada día más bellos y la búsqueda por la perfección física parece interminable. Por eso si creías que tu famoso favorito es perfectamente bello aquí te demostramos que no es así.Y además en El Gordo y La Flaca: Continúa el juicio contra P Diddy en Nueva York y ha raíz de todo el escándalo, muchos quieren retirarle su estrella del paseo de la fama de Hollywood.Christian Nodal luce más feliz y enamorado que nunca, pero al jovencito nunca le faltaron los amores y aquí hacemos un recuento de sus bellas ex parejas. ¿Lionel Messi está listo para su protagónico? El astro habló con un famoso programa de Youtube y esto confesó.

It's Episode 362, the second game recap episode in a row where we discuss a disappointing 2-2 draw to a Wooden Spoon contender. Our location shifts to Quebec, where LAFC was only able to take a point from lowly CF Montreal. Montreal, the club that had scored just 8 goals all season, raced out to a 2-0 lead after 22', thanks to Prince Owusu's penalty and a couple of lucky bounces. LAFC would respond right before the half through Mark Delgado as the half would end 2-1.The subs made all the difference for LAFC. Ryan Hollingshead improved the offense, Cengiz Ünder brought a calm on the ball, and Olivier Giroud delivered the tying goal, making the run and putting away a deflection. Not the story we wanted in Montreal, but LAFC's takes a point. Next up is Club America, and a spot in the Club World Cup. But until then, enjoy 362!   

Messi estuvo jugando en Minnesota contra el equipo de Minnesota. La emoción de estar ante el mejor futbolista del mundo.

LAFC heads into Quebec to take on CF Montreal, the worst team in the East. Will it be three easy points for the Black and Gold, or will a wooden spoon contender give them trouble two weeks in a row?

It's time for The Truth!Today, Sam and Dougie are looking at the Club World Cup, set to kick off just a couple of weeks after the European season ends. The tournament has divided fans and pundits alike, with some seeing it as a bizarre power play from FIFA to try and rival the riches of the Champions League, whilst others feel that it's an opportunity to spread the game's wealth on a more even keel globally. We examine the history of the tournament and where the concept originated from, before taking a look at how it matters differently to different areas of the globe - in some place, it's a real badge of honour; whilst in others, it's treated as a second-class trophy. Perhaps more importantly, there's a deep dive into the finances of the tournament and how it's going to work, as well as some thoughts on if we should really be adding more football into an already oversaturated calendar - whilst the concept of the CWC is a good one, generally; is there actually a real need for this given the amount of football players are already going through? So, is this global benevolence or a cash grab from the Federation? Are the big teams going to send shadow sides or are the megastars going to give it all they have? And to whom does this all matter most? Well, The Truth is somewhere in the middle...

Hello Rank Squad! It's that time of the year where amidst all the trophies being handed out, thoughts turn to who are the frontrunners in the race for the biggest individual prize in the game - France Football's yearly Ballon d'Or. Last year the award came with a whole thunderstorm of controversy, with Real Madrid boycotting the ceremony after Rodri won the top prize over Vinicius Jr. They probably don't need to worry that much this year - we'd be surprised if there were any Los Blancos stars anywhere near the podium - but the absence of both Vini and Rodri from the frontrunners opens up some interesting discussions. We dive deep on where we think the current positionings are for the likes of PSG's Ousmane Dembele, Gigi Donnarumma and Achraf Hakimi, as well as Barcelona's Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and Pedri - as well as the individual pace-setters like Mo Salah, Lautaro Martinez, Kylian Mbappé, and Harry Kane; before we also take a quick look at the Kopa Trophy candidates in Part Three. Before that, there's a return for Things We Love, where Dean discusses a big summer ahead for Arsenal in the transfer market, and Jack takes a quick look at a wonderful season at Balaidos for Celta Vigo, under the stewardship of Claudio Giraldez. It's Ranks!  And remember, if you'd like more from the Rank Squad, including extra podcasts every Monday and Friday (including our weekly Postbox taking a look at the whole weekend of football) and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?
