The battle for Madrid’s most iconic number begins – but it might not go to the man everyone expected.

While most assumed Vinicius would remain central to Madrid's long-term project, fresh tensions between the player and club have opened a door—one that Saudi Arabia is ready to push wide open with the biggest financial offer in soccer history.

With the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup now concluded, the race for the Ballon d’Or 2025 has entered its most intriguing and unpredictable phase.

After a spectacular season with Milan and a resurgence that few predicted after a bumpy stint in England, Christian Pulisic has added his name to elite company, besting global icons and rising phenoms in the process.

Paris Saint-Germain has long been chasing continental greatness, but under Luis Enrique, it might finally be on the brink of something no other club in history has achieved. Seven titles. One calendar year. Total dominance.

Hidden beneath the surface of flair and firepower lies a nuance—a routine that PSG have quietly perfected, something they simply couldn't pull off during the reign of Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe.

The spotlight has fallen not just on the team’s lack of trophies but also on internal friction—most notably between Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr, two of the biggest stars in world soccer.

As heads dropped and questions mounted, the spotlight quickly turned to two of Real Madrid’s biggest stars—and how manager Xabi Alonso plans to respond.

As the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup reaches its climax with a blockbuster final between Chelsea and PSG, a curious question has emerged among fans and pundits alike: Why won’t we see a third-place showdown between Real Madrid and Fluminense?

In the tightly contested 2025 Ballon d'Or race between Lamine Yamal, Ousmane Dembele, and Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid icon Gareth Bale has made his pick for who deserves the award.

Despite the humbling exit, Los Blancos didn’t walk away empty-handed. Quite the opposite—their tournament run yielded one of the most lucrative prize hauls in club soccer history.

With fierce competition from Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, and Vinicius Junior, one Real Madrid attacker has found himself on the fringes of Xabi Alonso’s plans.

As Kylian Mbappe is facing his former club Paris Saint-Germain for the first time since his departure, many fans are puzzled by one lingering question: Why has the French superstar looked out of sorts at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup?

In the midst of swirling narratives and lingering emotions, PSG manager Luis Enrique delivered a calm, cryptic four-word message when asked about the reunion.

After recovering from an acute bout of gastroenteritis that kept him out of Real Madrid’s starting lineup throughout the Club World Cup, Kylian Mbappé is expected to start against his former team, Paris Saint-Germain. He would likely replace academy forward Gonzalo García, who impressed in earlier matches.
