Christian Pulisic heads into another defining weekend as Milan must again work around the absence of Santiago Gimenez, while simultaneously managing the remarkable resurgence of Luka Modric, who has become an unexpected cornerstone in the Rossoneri’s roster.

In Spain’s new generation, led by Lamine Yamal, the idea of adding a titan like Sergio Ramos to the 2026 World Cup squad feels almost impossible — yet that is precisely the storyline unfolding behind the scenes.

Ronaldo remains the undisputed face of the league and continues to deliver on and off the pitch, yet a powerful voice inside Saudi soccer has issued a warning that could impact future moves for the likes of Vinicius, Bruno Fernandes, and Robert Lewandowski.

While some expected the 2026 World Cup to be the end of Ancelotti’s chapter, recent signals from the federation point in a very different direction — one that Neymar may not like at all.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Gianni Infantino both stand at the center of a controversy that has shaken the foundations of soccer governance. What happened this summer for Lionel Messi at the 2025 Club World Cup has now re-emerged on a much bigger stage, placing FIFA under unprecedented scrutiny.

What appears a routine duel between Messi and Ronaldo — one club in pink, one in yellow — becomes something far bigger once the numbers reveal who really commands world soccer today.

Messi’s departure in 2021 collided with a fiscal collapse that the club still feels today, and Robert Lewandowski—arriving from Bayern Munich a year later—walked straight into that reality.

The timing could not be more dramatic. Neymar faces yet another devastating physical blow just as Carlo Ancelotti defines the contours of his Brazil squad and Estevao accelerates toward superstardom in Europe.

Christian Pulisic and Cristiano Ronaldo have built their reputations in very different soccer worlds. Still, their names now intertwine in a way few would have predicted when the American first arrived in Serie A.

The 2026 World Cup is still months away, yet the rush to secure seats has already reached a level FIFA has never experienced before. The organization has confirmed staggering new figures for ticket sales, igniting conversation across North America and beyond.

Christian Pulisic’s season has already swung from injury frustration to derby brilliance, and now back into uncertainty again — and coach Massimiliano Allegri has added another layer of intrigue.

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have pushed soccer into an era where statistics bend around their brilliance, and yet a single question continues to return with fresh urgency: Who has more total goal contributions this century?

Christian Pulisic scores another decisive goal for AC Milan; Lionel Messi’s name unexpectedly enters the conversation; and Landon Donovan and Tim Howard, two giants of U.S. soccer history, appear in total agreement about something that once divided opinion.

n Pulisic has shaped Milan’s season with the kind of influence that changes the direction of a title race, so when news broke of a new problem just days after his dramatic derby heroics, suspense filled Milanello again.

Paris Saint-Germain braces for a seismic Champions League night at the Parc des Princes, where Achraf Hakimi’s absence shadows the buildup as the French champion prepares to face Tottenham.
