For Barcelona, one of their most dynamic attacking outlets, Raphinha, has been ruled out on a night where his energy and creativity would have been invaluable.

The anticipated duel in the UEFA Champions League between Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain had captured so much imagination—until it was confirmed that Ousmane Dembele would not feature.

The American forward has gone toe-to-toe with some of Serie A’s finest, including Lautaro Martinez of Inter and Romelu Lukaku of Napoli. Yet, the numbers show something remarkable: Pulisic has left them all behind in one pivotal achievement.

The tug-of-war between club and country has long been a recurring drama in soccer, but few cases highlight it as starkly as that of Lamine Yamal.

This Tuesday, as Madrid travels deep into Central Asia for its UEFA Champions League tie, one burning question hovers over the fixture: Why is Jude Bellingham not included in Real Madrid's starting XI against Kairat Almaty?

Whispers from Italy suggest that the Rossoneri are considering an audacious move that could redefine their attacking line. The question lingers: Could Christian Pulisic be teaming up with Robert Lewandowski next season?

Former Rossoneri coach Fabio Capello has used a seven-word explanation to describe how Pulisic can guide Milan to the Scudetto this season.

It is the kind of fixture that adds mystery and intrigue to Europe’s grandest stage. The central question lingers—Will Kylian Mbappe play?

With three superstars fighting for two spots and tactical balance in Allegri’s system, the real question is: who makes the starting lineup when Milan kicks off against the champions?

Despite his standing as a fan favorite and statistical leader in multiple categories, Pulisic has lost a key feat at Milan to Modric.

The Portuguese tactician has introduced a unique approach designed to protect Ronaldo’s body, ensuring he remains sharp for what may be his final World Cup.

Ronaldo, never shy of making his feelings known, sent out a fiery post-match message aimed not just at Benzema, but at every rival in Saudi Arabia.

The official voting breakdown for the 2025 Ballon d’Or has now been revealed, finally showing how Dembele, Lamine Yamal, Mohamed Salah, Kylian Mbappe, and the other superstars fared in the ballots.

Beyond the glitz of winning the Ballon d'Or, the headlines were shaped less by the trophy than by a flood of messages from soccer legends—Messi, Xavi, and Suarez among them. Yet one note touched Dembele more than all the rest.

Karim Benzema and Jose Mourinho—two names forever tied to the golden era of Real Madrid—are once again being mentioned in the same breath.
