Then, off the break, Mark goes at a loose one, misses, and that is going to cost him. Zhao’s been so good in the balls this last fortnight, playing with rare power and precision, but the pressure he’s under now, seeking to become China’s first world champion, is of an entirely different order to anything he’s experienced before. But he seems entirely unaffected and already seems to fashioning a frame-winning opportunity.Our boyz baize! I cannot wait for this, and what an atmosphere in the Cruce.

53 h. ago From Lamine Yamal to Mbappé: Could Team EU build a European identity?

A side made up of players from the European Union would be an ambitious project but the rewards could be pleasing for a continent looking to become more unitedImagine the scene: the television is on, the screen showing images of a packed stadium. Rodri collects the ball in midfield and launches it down the wing to Lamine Yamal, who switches play to Kylian Mbappé; the Frenchman swivels past two defenders before crossing for Robert Lewandowski, who surges forward and finishes with precision past Ederson in goal. Europe are leading the Rest of the World 1-0.Could the European Union have a football team, even if it is just for one game every other year? Why not? It is an ambitious idea that, paradoxically, could be both concrete and relevant. In an era marked by challenges to the cohesion of the union, conceiving a footballing Dream Team of the 27 countries is, in fact, one of the more plausible ways to give the continent a dimension beyond the economy or, as is highly relevant at the m...

7 d. ago Serious, precocious and unique: Désiré Doué is a player with no limits

As PSG prepare for Tuesday’s Champions League semi-final, key figures in winger’s career on why he can reach the topBy Get French Football News“I am Désiré Doué. Kylian is Kylian,” says the Paris Saint-Germain forward, shirking the Mbappé comparisons. However, there is something reminiscent of his compatriot: the explosiveness, the agility, the unbridled self-confidence. Those traits have also earned Doué comparisons with his idol, Neymar, the most expensive jewel of Les Parisiens’ bling-bling era. But Doué isn’t some pastiche of PSG past; he embodies a different ethos entirely.“Everyone is inspired by a player. For me, it is Neymar,” says Doué. The Brazilian’s panache has certainly been adopted by the Frenchman, as have his celebrations. But for Julien Stéphan, who managed him at Rennes, there is a uniqueness to Doué. “He is already a different player in terms of his personality,” Stéphan says. “Everything is oriented towards performance and reaching the top level. That is the firs...

They had been a goal up and a goal down, they had thought they had a last-minute penalty to win it only to watch it get taken away from them again, but now it was 3-2 and the Catalan side had done it.Done? Not quite, but very nearly. On an extraordinary night, there was still one last opportunity for Real Madrid when Kylian Mbappé was fouled in the area and the referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea pointed to the spot, only for the linesman’s flag to be up. They had fought a...
