4 d. ago Barcelona’s rebirth and one last job for Szczesny: La Liga season review

It’s the Sids! Barça reclaimed the title as Madrid’s giants faltered while Athletic, Celta and Rayo shook up the European placesThe day La Liga 2024-25 began, Wojciech Szczesny was sitting on the beach in Marbella lighting up a cigarette, enjoying his retirement. The night it ended, he sat in the dressing room in Cornellà, 1,000km round the coast, and lit up a cigar instead. He had walked away in August, at 35 years old, unwanted and his heart no longer in it, or so he thought. Nine months on, here he was surrounded by kids half his age, a footballer again and winner of every trophy his new home country had to offer. He had not lost a single league match en route to becoming a champion.“I’ve arrived where even my imagination wouldn’t even dare to take me,” Szczesny had said when he retired. And if he hadn’t dared imagine that, there was no way he could imagine this: a Copa del Rey, a Super Cup and a Champions League semi-final to go with the title. Continue reading...

But they still represent one of the sport’s darkest trendsSign up for Soccer with Jonathan Wilson hereParis Saint-Germain’s success in the Champions League final on Saturday was a victory for youth and adventure. It was a victory for a team built with a coherent vision, and a rebuke to those who believe the game is just about collecting the biggest names. It was a victory for Luis Enrique, a very fine coach who has suffered dreadful personal tragedy. It was a victory for forward-thinking, progressive, fluent football.But it was also a victory for sportswashing. Continue reading...

Despite Champions League triumph, the likes of Désiré Doué and Bradley Barcola may not stay put in ParisAs the hundreds of VIP guests at Uefa’s official Champions League final dinner listened attentively, Aleksander Ceferin addressed his audience. It was the night before Paris Saint-Germain eviscerated Inter and, taking the floor before the starters were served at Munich’s Paulaner am Nockherberg brewery, he elected to keep his predictions general. “Tomorrow we play the best game a club could ever play,” he enthused. “The one who wins tomorrow will be the best club in the world.”Ceferin’s wording was no accident. The final took place against the context of Uefa’s continuing tensions with Fifa and, most pertinent, the imminent rebirth of the Club World Cup.

9 d. ago ‘La débâcle’: Italian press turn on Inzaghi after Inter’s night of misery | Nicky Bandini

Writers bemoaned Inter’s ‘climax of suffering’ in Munich but saved their harshest words for Simone InzaghiOn the front pages of Italy’s newspapers, the Champions League final was told as a “nightmare”, a “humiliation”, and a “rout”. Tuttosport at least found room for humour with a “DisIntergrated” pun. La Stampa, in deference to the victors Paris Saint-Germain, went instead with a French phrase: “La débâcle”.Any team can lose a Champions League final but Internazionale were the first to do so by a five-goal margin. The final indignity of a season in which they aspired to repeat the treble they won under José Mourinho, only to come unstuck at the last: losing the Coppa Italia semi-final to neighbours Milan and then missing out on the Serie A title by one point.
