3 h. ago Parish plots Crystal Palace response after demotion with Uefa braced for fight

FA Cup winners feel hard done by after being banned from Europa League due to a breach of multi-club ownership rulesAs an emotional Steve Parish said, it felt like “winning the lottery and going to the counter and you don’t get the prize”. Confirmation from Uefa on Friday of Crystal Palace’s demotion from the Europa League to Conference League had been expected since European football’s governing body delayed its decision to await the outcome of Lyon’s appeal against being relegated to Ligue 2.That did not make it any easier for Parish, who has proudly overseen Palace’s rise from the brink of extinction in 2010 to a first major trophy. When the final whistle blew at Wembley to seal Palace’s FA Cup final victory against Manchester City eight weeks ago, Parish was greeted by a massive bear hug from John Textor, who at that stage was Palace’s largest shareholder, but had spectacularly fallen out with the chair over not being allowed more of an influence.

Callum Wilson has been watching a lot of football. It wasn’t all preparation for a month of punditry. He feels he has watched too much in the last few months; the last two years, really. And not from the DAZN studio or a gantry but the dugout. During his time analysing the Club World Cup, he became a footballer without a club, his stay at Newcastle ending when his contract expired. Yet it will not prompt a free transfer to any of the sport’s broadcasters. Not yet, anyway.

11 h. ago Ambitious Chelsea will not park bus despite challenge of full

Club World Cup final features two youth-driven teams but Enzo Maresca’s side believe they can hurt favouritesChelsea have already made over £80m from their Club World Cup adventure but they can achieve something priceless against Paris Saint-Germain. This goes beyond gaudy gold badges and money in the bank. The season with no end is almost over, the final of the tournament that nobody asked for is here and while Chelsea have no intention of getting carried away if they triumph in New Jersey on Sunday it is also the case that there would be no better way to demonstrate that they are on to something with their youth-driven project than by beating Luis Enrique’s awesome PSG.Easier said than done, of course. One school of thought is that Chelsea will have done well if they leave the MetLife Stadium with their dignity intact. Premier League opponents hold no fears for PSG, whose path to Champions League glory was paved by wins over Manchester City, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal, whi...

17 h. ago Luis Enrique shrugs off praise for PSG’s season with Club World Cup final to come

Paris Saint-Germain coach cautious of difficult game against Chelsea‘I have been better when I lost,’ Enrique saysThere is just one game left in the season in which Paris Saint-Germain finally won the first Champions League in their history to complete a historic treble and that game is the Club World Cup final, but Luis Enrique says it has not been his best. He was better, he claims, when he lost. Besides, the PSG coach said, Manchester City remain the best team around and his side must face a Chelsea team he likened to his own which can still deny them the perfect campaign and have a manager he “loves”.“The Champions League was our first and it was very important: that was our main objective when we came to Paris last year,” Enrique said. “And on Sunday we have the chance, with the last game of the season, to win another one, with the Club World Cup. But it is important that we are conscious of the difficulty of the game. [Enzo] Maresca is a coach I love. I love the way he has of ...
