22. <p>Vancouver now believes the price of hosting the 2026 World Cup games to be double what was previously expected. British Columbia officials claimed on Tuesday that costs could reach up to $422 million. This would be a massive difference from the initial plans. Previous estimates two years ago were only at around $189 million.</p>
23.  
24.  
25.  
26. <p>The western Canadian city has been named as one of 16 total North American areas to host games of the upcoming tournament. Canada, along with the United States, and Mexico, will host the expanded competition throughout the summer of 2026. Of the 16 base areas chosen, two Canadian cities were picked to host matches. Toronto is joining Vancouver to bring the tournament north of the border.</p>

30. <h2>Exact profit will depend on which teams play in Vancouver</h2>
31.  
32.  
33.  
34. <p>While costs are rising, area officials are already planning ways to offset much of the expenses. According to a report by <em><a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-30/vancouver-believes-in-fifa-world-cup-despite-doubling-of-costs?leadSource=uverify%20wall&amp;embedded-checkout=true" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Forbes</a></em>, Vancouver is counting on potentially huge funds set aside from the government. This includes an $84 million boost directly from the national authorities. However, the city is also expecting to receive another $167 million tax break as well. A similar move was made when Vancouver hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics.</p>
35.  
36.  
37.  
38. <p>In total, local officials may end up paying as low as $105 million in net costs for the tournament. If so, Vancouver is planning on still generating a fairly massive profit from hosting World Cup games. Province executives believe that the tournament could eventually bring in around $725 million over the next few years.</p>

45.  
46. <p>The huge haul would essentially come down to tourism. Officials are currently planning for an extra million visitors to come in and out of the area around the competition. The exact figure of tourists, however, will greatly depend on potential teams to play in Vancouver. Particular group-stage matchups are available until late 2025 when the 48-team field fills out.</p>
47.  
48.  
49.  
50. <p>Planners are expecting around 350,000 fans to directly visit BC Place Stadium. Part of the aforementioned costs will go towards renovating the 54,000-capacity arena. Vancouver is hosting seven total matches during the World Cup. Five of these games come in the group stage. The remaining duo of fixtures are to be during the knockout phase of the competition.</p>

54. <h2>Host cities had to agree to FIFA’s strict demands</h2>
55.  
56.  
57.  
58. <p>Potential costs of host cities during the World Cup <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/fifas-eye-opening-demands-for-world-cup-2026-host-cities-20230811-WST-449616.html">came out</a> last summer. While Vancouver initially opted to keep a tight lid on FIFA’s demands, nearby Seattle spilled the beans. The Emerald City agreed with the governing body to fully fund all public safety, including fire, police, and medical services, throughout the tournament.</p>
59.  
60.  
61.  
62. <p>Along with these safety measures, Seattle will also provide free transportation to various people at the competition. This includes match-going fans, but also FIFA president Gianni Infantino, other governing body officials, heads of state, teams, and match referees.</p>
63.  
64.  
65.  
66. <p>Despite the hefty demands, cities like Vancouver are firm believers that you have to spend money to make money. The World Cup is the biggest and most lucrative sporting tournament in the world.</p>

85. <p>We jump into reading the feedback from soccer fans throughout the United States and our analysis and experience about why soccer fans are not signing up for MLS Season Pass, fifteen months after the service launched on Apple TV. Has MLS moving to Apple left the door wide open for USL, NWSL, and EPL to increase their viewership on US TV? How can MLS compete against other streaming services that offer better soccer for less money? How fans of Liga MX are flipping to the Premier League, and how the rest of the leagues are left picking up the scraps?</p>
86.  
87.  
88.  
89. <p>We also dive into MLS Commissioner Don Garber’s hypocritical comments when he spoke to World Soccer Talk about his reaction to foreign leagues wanting to play official league games in the United States. Plus, he shared with us about the possibilities of more soccer rights coming to Apple soon, and whether Major League Soccer would welcome that.</p>

180. <p>Victor Osimhen, a former Serie A champion with Napoli, seems to have piqued Chelsea’s attention again. While Paris Saint-Germain are after the 25-year-old, the English side have been known to be a longtime fan of him.</p>
181.  
182.  
183.  
184. <p>After helping Napoli win the Scudetto for the first time in 33 years last season, Osimhen became the most desirable striker in Europe. The Nigerian striker has been a constant source of brilliance for the Azzurri since he arrived from Lille in 2020.</p>
185.  
186.  
187.  
188. <p>Over his four years in Naples, he has amassed an outstanding record, scoring 75 goals and assisting on 18 more. Thus, the club wasted no time in renewing his contract in December of last year. But they included a <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/napoli-boss-reveals-osimhen-clause-and-admits-striker-may-leave-20240229-WST-492238.html">release clause worth around $140 million</a>.</p>
189.  
190.  
191.  
192. <h2>Undying love for Premier League amid France talk</h2>
193.  
194.  
195.  
196. <p>During the upcoming summer transfer window, Osimhen is reportedly a target for both <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/chelsea-wants-to-sign-napolis-osimhen-at-all-costs-20231209-WST-476184.html">Chelsea</a> and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/who-could-replace-mbappe-at-psg-3-big-name-players-emerge-20240216-WST-489908.html">Paris Saint-Germain</a>. The Blues are looking to add a striker of his caliber to their offense. Meanwhile, the French giants would love to have him on board as a high-profile replacement amid Kylian Mbappe’s exit.</p>
197.  
198.  
199.  
200. <p>Throughout his career, Osimhen has spoken about his <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/osimhen-urges-premier-league-clubs-come-and-get-me-20240123-WST-485066.html">admiration for and aspiration to play in the Premier League</a>. His praise for Didier Drogba, a legend for Chelsea and the Ivory Coast, only served to strengthen this view.</p>
201.  
202.  
203.  
204. <p>Still, he has enough experience from his one season with Lille, scoring 13 goals in 27 games before joining Serie A. Thus, a return to France is still a considerable possibility.</p>

212. <p>Reportedly, Chelsea have already plotted their strategy to outbid PSG for Victor Osimhen as the summer transfer window draws near. <a href="https://sport.sky.it/calciomercato/2024/05/05/napoli-osimhen-psg-chelsea-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sky Italia’s Gianluca Di Marzio</a> has stated that the London club has allegedly approached Napoli with a contract proposal.</p>

217.  
218.  
219.  
220. <p>It is quite likely that the club would take advantage of the possible sale of one their most prized assets; especially in order to strengthen their team for the next season. Apparently, the Italians see Osimhen’s departure as a critical chance to acquire vital finances to support their transfer market goals.</p>
221.  
222.  
223.  
224. <p>They have also gained a significant asset in the Nigerian star, a talented player wanted by other elite teams. And the first hopeful buyers have already begun to test the waters. Chelsea have made contact with Napoli, including Romelu Lukaku and an unnamed young player a part of their $97 million bid.</p>
225.  
226.  
227.  
228. <p>In the next few days, the Partenopei will likely announce Giovanni Manna as their new director of sports. The report adds that Manna has his eye on the powerful Belgian striker and that he had previously tried to get him to join Juventus. While Lukaku has not yet found his footing at Chelsea, he has been a revelation in Serie A with Inter Milan and Roma.</p>
229.  
230.  
231.  
232. <p>With 29 appearances for the Giallorossi this season, the 30-year-old has scored 11 goals and added three assists in Italy’s top division. The Belgian also has an impressive record in the UEFA Europa League, with seven goals and one assist in 12 matches played. The 30-year-old also appeared in two games for Roma in the Coppa Italia, scoring once.</p>

251. <p>One of Inter Miami’s rising star players, Benjamin Cremaschi, has dropped hints that he may go to Europe for a more established team.</p>
252.  
253.  
254.  
255. <p><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/messis-time-is-running-out-to-help-mls-season-pass/">Lionel Messi</a>, Luis Suarez, and Sergio Busquets have been the club’s most talked-about stars this season. However, the Herons’ younger players have been quietly making waves alongside the veterans.</p>
256.  
257.  
258.  
259. <p>Among Tata Martino’s promising young players this season, Diego Gomez stands out. Reports have it that clubs like Brighton are interested in the Paraguayan international.</p>
260.  
261.  
262.  
263. <p>Another player who has made an impression thus far this season is Federico Redondo. Another promising player, however, has recently hinted that he is considering a move.</p>
264.  
265.  
266.  
267. <h2>What did Cremaschi say about the future?</h2>
268.  
269.  
270.  
271. <p><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/setback-for-messi-and-miami-how-long-will-cremaschi-be-out-20240128-WST-486066.html">Benjamin Cremaschi</a> has recently announced his desire to leave <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/how-inter-miami-may-still-qualify-for-fifa-club-world-cup/">Inter Miami</a> and play in Europe. Given the midfielder’s skill, this seems like a sure bet. According to rumors, Lionel Messi is a huge admirer of USA international 19-year-old Cremaschi. He just scored his first Major League Soccer goal in 2024 <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/record-setting-gillette-stadium-watches-messi-and-miami-shine/">against the New England Revolution</a>.</p>
272.  
273.  
274.  
275. <p>Because of his Argentinean citizenship, Cremaschi was questioned whether he ever planned to play for his nation. The midfielder was blunt about his plans, however.</p>
276.  
277.  
278.  
279. <p>“In the near future, not just yet,” Cremaschi told <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhqoWiafJbI&amp;t=3s" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Urbana Play 104.3 FM</a> about his potential relocation to Argentina. “I think now I am more interested in going to Europe, but maybe on the back? Yes, why not.”</p>
280.  
281.  
282.  
283. <p>The Inter Miami academy product has shown glimpses this season that the midfielder may soon surpass <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/where-to-watch-mls-on-us-tv-and-internet/">MLS</a>. That’s even though he is only a youngster and just recently returned from injury.</p>
284.  
285.  
286.  
287. <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="670" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.worldsoccertalk.com/webp/full/WST_20240502_WST_504786_Cremaschi-Miami-1200x670_fa9cd85b.webp&amp;width=1200&amp;height=670" alt="" class="wp-image-504808" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Cremaschi-Miami-1200x670.jpg 1200w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Cremaschi-Miami-300x168.jpg 300w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Cremaschi-Miami-768x429.jpg 768w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Cremaschi-Miami.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure></figure>
288.  
289.  
290.  
291. <p>Joining Messi on Miami’s starting lineup regularly at the age of 19 makes the American international one of the league’s most intriguing talents. What’s more, he has the potential to do great things in the following 18 months.</p>
292.  
293.  
294.  
295. <p>And for Cremaschi, it’s not a question of if he would leave Inter Miami; the question is when since he is too talented to stay there indefinitely.</p>
296.  
297.  
298.  
299. <h2>Cremaschi makes up his mind on dual eligibility</h2>
300.  
301.  
302.  
303. <p>In addition, the Miami rising star has come clean about his conversations with Javier Mascherano about his dual eligibility for both the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/nations/usmnt-tv-schedule/">United States</a> and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/nations/argentina-national-team-tv-schedule/">Argentina</a>.</p>
304.  
305.  
306.  
307. <p>The coach of the La Albiceleste Olympic team reportedly spoke to the youngster openly and honestly. So, after much consideration, Cremaschi has decided that the United States is the best option for his international eligibility.</p>
308.  
309.  
310.  
311. <p>“I haven’t spoken to Scaloni, I spoke with [Mascherano]. The truth is he was very honest with me. He said he wants the best for me. It wasn’t an egotistical conversation and I’m very thankful for it.”</p>
312.  
313.  
314.  
315. <p>“<a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/messi-sets-sights-on-another-trophy-to-play-at-2024-olympics-20240120-WST-484592.html">Mascherano</a> had things clear. He told it to me in the best way and I understood him perfectly, so I’m leaning toward the United States. I hope it’s my turn to go.”</p>
316.  
317.  
318.  
319. <p>After making his US national team debut in a September friendly against Oman, he was a mainstay in coach Vladimirovic’s training camps for the Olympics in October and November. But with an injury that prevented him from participating in March camp, time is running short.</p>
320.  
321.  
322.  
323. <p>He has only several more games to show the world why he deserves one of the eighteen spots available to him on the U.S. Olympic team.</p>

342. <p>As the season comes to a close, we are already aware of a number of the league’s champions, including both returning and new faces. </p>
343.  
344.  
345.  
346. <p>While Inter replaced Napoli in Italy, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/bayern-want-leverkusen-standout-with-eye-on-2025-transfer/">Bayer Leverkusen</a> capped an outstanding 2023-24 season with their first league championship ever in Germany.</p>
347.  
348.  
349.  
350. <p>Elsewhere, PSG have won the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/where-to-watch-ligue-un-on-us-tv-and-internet/">French Ligue 1</a> for the twelfth time, with the Qatari owners bringing their total to ten. Meanwhile, in Spain, Real Madrid have shone brighter than Barcelona, capturing an unprecedented 36th <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/where-to-watch-la-liga-on-us-tv-and-internet/">La Liga</a> title.</p>
351.  
352.  
353.  
354. <p>Among the top five leagues, the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/watch-premier-league-on-us-tv-internet/">Premier League</a> championship fight between Manchester City and Arsenal is razor-thin. </p>
355.  
356.  
357.  
358. <p>The championship is still up for grabs, with Pep Guardiola’s City having a game in hand over Arsenal. &nbsp;With two games remaining compared to City’s three, the Gunners find themselves one point ahead of the Treble winners.</p>
359.  
360.  
361.  
362. <p>The <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/where-to-watch-the-bundesliga-on-us-tv-and-internet/">Bundesliga</a> and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/where-to-watch-serie-a-on-us-tv-and-internet/">Serie A</a> are rejoicing over two more slots in the UEFA Champions League. This is all down to the coefficient system, which is still in use for the distribution of spots in the European club cups.</p>
363.  
364.  
365.  
366. <p>Towards the season’s conclusion, a few of the clubs now playing in the UEL and UECL will likely have upgraded to the UCL. </p>
367.  
368.  
369.  
370. <p>Another task before the season ends, however, is to determine which clubs will participate in the next campaign’s European competitions.</p>
371.  
372.  
373.  
374. <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="436" height="586" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.worldsoccertalk.com/webp/full/WST_20240505_WST_505274_image-6_f1117b12.webp&amp;width=436&amp;height=586" alt="" class="wp-image-505297" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/image-6.png 436w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/image-6-223x300.png 223w" sizes="(max-width: 436px) 100vw, 436px"></figure><figcaption>Girona will be making their Champions League debut next season</figcaption></figure>
375.  
376.  
377.  
378. <h2>Who has already secured Champions League spot?</h2>
379.  
380.  
381.  
382. <p>The 2023-24 season has been filled with fantastic underdog tales, some of which have received more attention than others. To start, much to Bayern Munich and Harry Kane’s annoyance, Bayer Leverkusen have already won the Bundesliga.</p>
383.  
384.  
385.  
386. <p>Plus, they have advanced to the Europa League semi-finals and the DFB-Pokal final, respectively. Leverkusen may finish the season undefeated and with three titles. But, because of their success in the German league, they will be playing in the next <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/champions-league-tv-schedule/">Champions League</a>.</p>
387.  
388.  
389.  
390. <p>In fact, Leverkusen and Stuttgart are two of the Bundesliga teams who have been doing really well this year. More astonishing is that they’re making their Champions League return after a long absence (since the 2009–10 season).</p>
391.  
392.  
393.  
394. <p>Particularly when you think about how VfB have been doing over the last five or seven seasons. </p>
395.  
396.  
397.  
398. <p>From 2016 forward, the Swabians have been involved in two relegation playoffs in a row. Sebastian Hoeneß’s installation, however, has leveled the playing field. Is a result of the outstanding work that the former Bayern II coach has accomplished in his brief tenure.</p>
399.  
400.  
401.  
402. <p>Also, after their 4-2 victory against Barcelona, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/why-girona-is-the-best-story-in-europe-this-season-20240116-WST-483659.html">Girona</a> will advance to their first Champions League campaign in club history. The win guaranteed that Michel’s side would finish in the top four, passing their Catalan rivals to take second place.</p>
403.  
404.  
405.  
406. <p>They have come a long way from finishing tenth last season, and they now lead Athletic Club by 13 points with four games to go. But they seemed capable of contending with Los Blancos for the league crown for a considerable portion of the season.</p>
407.  
408.  
409.  
410. <p>The club, which has never competed in Europe and is partially controlled by Manchester City’s Abu Dhabi sponsors, would nevertheless see a Champions League berth as a significant victory.</p>
411.  
412.  
413.  
414. <h2>Who will likely join them in Champions League?</h2>
415.  
416.  
417.  
418. <p>Thanks to their impressive play, Bologna are on the cusp of a Champions League action next season. They made it to the quarterfinals of the <a href="https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/history/seasons/1964/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1964 European Cup,</a> but they’ve never been in the Champions League as it is now.</p>
419.  
420.  
421.  
422. <p>But it seems like it’s about to change. They have a seven-point lead over sixth-place Atalanta and a top-five finish would get them into next season’s redesigned competition. </p>
423.  
424.  
425.  
426. <p>The Rossoblu manager <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/not-roberto-de-zerbi-united-eye-italian-boss-to-replace-ten-hag/">Thiago Motta</a> has experience in the Champions League from his days as a player for Barcelona and Inter. While coaching, the Italian maintains the same level of energy, and Bologna have exceeded all expectations in his second season.</p>
427.  
428.  
429.  
430. <p>In France, last weekend’s dramatic 5-4 win against Rennes ensured Brest’s first-ever spot in next season’s European competition. Not only that, but the Breton club are almost ready to make the Champions League cut.</p>
431.  
432.  
433.  
434. <p>As for the Premier League, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/aston-villa-poised-to-blow-bank-for-epls-most-wanted-player/">Aston Villa</a> and Tottenham are neck and neck for the last Champions League spot. </p>
435.  
436.  
437.  
438. <p>When Villa hired Unai Emery, things started to improve for the club. Since the Spaniard took over, the squad has transformed and is presently in fourth place, ahead of Spurs.</p>
439.  
440.  
441.  
442. <p>They would lock up the fourth spot before the last day of the season if they could salvage a single point in their next matches against Liverpool and Brighton.</p>

653. <h3>How can I watch these soccer friendlies if I can’t attend in person?</h3>
654.  
655.  
656.  
657. <p>If tickets are not your aim, many of these friendlies are still available via streaming or even on TV. For example, in the past, MLS All-Star Games aired on ESPN or FOX. Now that Apple has the MLS streaming rights, the MLS All-Star Game is available via MLS Season Pass. Other games are available via TV.</p>
658.  
659.  
660.  
661. <p>The full streaming schedule for the list of summer friendlies will be available on the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/upcoming-matches/">full schedule of soccer games</a> as those dates near.</p>
662.  
663.  
664.  
665. <h3>How do these friendlies differ from other soccer matches in terms of rules and gameplay?</h3>
666.  
667.  
668.  
669. <p>The main thing is that there is nothing of note on the line. For some, there are bragging rights. American-centric soccer fans would like to see the best of MLS compete against one of England’s top sides. Likewise, if there is ever a derby, there can be some international bragging rights, like Barcelona over Real Madrid based on USA friendlies.</p>
670.  
671.  
672.  
673. <p>Therefore, the gameplay is tamer than what some fans may be used to. Players are not diving into challenges or putting their bodies on the line as much as they would in a league or cup game during the proper season.</p>
674.  
675.  
676.  
677. <p>In terms of rules, there are some changes as well. One of the main ones is the lack of a limit on substitutions. Teams, particularly those out of Europe, want to interchange players to allow everyone to get some preseason action in. Also, games may not always end in draws. The MLS All-Star Game, for instance, will go to penalties if the game is tied. Other friendlies would settle with a draw, it truly depends on the competition.</p>

725. <h3>Other ways to watch</h3>
726.  
727.  
728.  
729. <p>Can’t make it to live preseason games in the USA this year, or out of your budget? You can still watch many of the soccer friendlies on TV or online. For instance, the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/upcoming-matches/">schedule of upcoming games</a> are always updated on our website. Many of the games may be available across streaming, too, including <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/soccer/?irad=356358&amp;irmp=330866" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fubo</a>.</p>
730.  
731.  
732.  
733. <h3>Why do teams play friendlies?</h3>
734.  
735.  
736.  
737. <p>Friendlies serve two purposes for teams. First, they’re an ideal way to gain match fitness before a new season begins. For instance, European soccer seasons usually begin in August. Therefore, the games give coaches and managers an opportunity to play new star signings, as well as trying different formations. Second, the games generate more revenue for the teams and increase the size of the teams’ fan bases.</p>
738.  
739.  
740.  
741. <p>Historically, major soccer teams have been visiting the United States to play games for decades. For instance, Everton first played friendlies in the United States in 1956. Similarly, the <a href="https://www.ussoccerhistory.org/phillys-first-international/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first record of English teams playing in the United States</a> was from 1905.</p>
742.  
743.  
744.  
745. <p>Nowadays, the summer soccer friendlies are an annual tradition in the United States.</p>
746.  
747.  
748.  
749. <h3>Who plays in soccer friendlies?</h3>
750.  
751.  
752.  
753. <p>Soccer friendlies provide a great opportunity for US fans to see their favorite international stars, sometimes in their own cities. Soccer friendlies also provide the chance for newer players to gain more experience.</p>
754.  
755.  
756.  
757. <p>For this reason, it’s up to each team’s manager (or coach) to decide who plays in the games. Some coaches prefer to give their youth stars an opportunity to get valuable playing time. Other managers like to build the team’s chemistry by playing the stars who will start the upcoming European season.</p>
758.  
759.  
760.  
761. <h3>Do friendlies count?</h3>
762.  
763.  
764.  
765. <p>Friendlies, also known as exhibition games, do not count for points. In spite of this, promoters sometimes entice clubs with a cup if they win their series of friendlies. For example, Relevent Sports launched the International Champions Cup as a way to make the friendlies more meaningful. Having said that, clubs rarely put much emphasis on winning these friendly competitions. At the end of the day, football teams play friendlies because the games grow fanbases and get teams ready for the new season. Preseason ranked games do not count for points.</p>

993.  
994. <h2>What now for Vardy?</h2>
995.  
996.  
997.  
998. <p>At 37, Vardy’s career is coming to a close considering, but he has been nothing short of spectacular this season. His efforts have been instrumental in City’s C<a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/championship-tv-schedule/">hampionship</a>-winning run under Enzo Maresca.</p>
999.  
1000.  
1001.  
1002. <p>Having to share playing time with Kelechi Iheanacho and Patson Daka has limited the England international’s league appearances to seventeen starts. Yet, he managed to count to 20 goals in 36 games played in all competitions.</p>
1003.  
1004.  
1005.  
1006. <p>Leicester secured their spot in the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/premier-league-tv-schedule/">Premier League</a> after overcoming a concerning downturn in February and March. Thus, Vardy’s four goals in his last three Championship games demonstrate just how important he has been.</p>
1007.  
1008.  
1009.  
1010. <p>However, by the end of June, <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/04/23/jamie-vardy-leicester-fairytale-end-contract-37-free-agent/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">his present contract will have expired</a>, leaving him with an unknown future as we enter the summer. Leaving the King Power Stadium as a free agent will undoubtedly present him with plenty of choices.</p>
1011.  
1012.  
1013.  
1014. <h2>Wrexham dreaming big</h2>
1015.  
1016.  
1017.  
1018. <p>In fact, many teams in the Premier League or Championship could use his skills. Even <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/wrexham-unveils-ambitious-ideas-for-massive-stadium-expansion/">Wrexham</a>, who will be in League One, may yet be Vardy’s cup of tea. The club that <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/what-league-is-wrexham-in/">Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney</a> run together has a reputation for luring stars from far higher echelons.</p>
1019.  
1020.  
1021.  
1022. <p>The Red Dragons’ concept attracted Football League stars like Elliot Lee and Paul Mullin while the team was still in the National League. They also have former Premier League player James McClean on their roster.</p>
1023.  
1024.  
1025.  
1026. <p>Because of their second-place performance in League Two, the Football League club have been promoted to League One. Going into next season, many consider them to be a heavy favorite to get to the Championship.</p>
1027.  
1028.  
1029.  
1030. <p>That being said, the team is now targeting promotion to the Championship as they have their sights set on the Premier League. </p>
1031.  
1032.  
1033.  
1034. <p>Even Wrexham director Humphrey Ker hasn’t eliminated the possibility of a daring effort to get Vardy in order to keep their top-division aspirations alive.</p>
1035.  
1036.  
1037.  
1038. <p>“There’s nothing to say that Jamie Vardy wouldn’t be a great Wrexham player. It’s not a name I’ve had mentioned inside the building before but, you know, age and profile wouldn’t put us off”, he told <a href="https://www.sportbible.com/football/football-news/wrexham-jamie-vardy-leicester-transfer-ryan-reynolds-mcelhenney-456409-20240503" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SPORTbible</a>.</p>

1057. <p>Will Ferrell has apparently joined the ranks of Hollywood A-listers who have invested in English soccer, which has excited the sports media in the United Kingdom.</p>

1061. <p><a href="https://www.the-sun.com/sport/11283442/will-ferrell-buys-stake-leeds-united/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Sun</a> reports that the 56-year-old has, like Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds at Wrexham, invested heavily in 49ers Enterprises, the club’s owners, in order to support Leeds. </p>
1062.  
1063.  
1064.  
1065. <p>Apparently, Ferrell has become a huge fan of the Championship club and can’t wait to see them play at Elland Road soon.</p>
1066.  
1067.  
1068.  
1069. <p>The renowned actor also has a stake in <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/don-garber-says-july-4th-el-trafico-may-break-mls-record/">Los Angeles FC</a>, a <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/where-to-watch-mls-on-us-tv-and-internet/">Major League Soccer</a> club. While on a six-day holiday with pals watching matches all around the nation, he confessed his love for English soccer.</p>
1070.  
1071.  
1072.  
1073. <p>After making an unexpected appearance at Manchester City’s stadium for <a href="https://news.sky.com/story/you-stay-classy-leeds-anchorman-star-will-ferrell-invests-in-championship-club-13129907" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sky Sports</a> last season, he became a familiar sight at British venues. “I don’t really have a side over here – I just enjoy following all the storylines – it’s obviously a very good league”, he said.</p>
1074.

1080.  
1081. <h2>Ferrell’s arrival imminent</h2>
1082.  
1083.  
1084.  
1085. <p>According to the Whites, they never address specific stakeholders, so they won’t confirm whether Ferrell has arrived in their boardroom. </p>
1086.  
1087.  
1088.  
1089. <p>But the article goes on to say that the comedian had already paid 49ers Enterprises, the club’s US owners. What’s more, they will reveal his role soon, an insider has confirmed.</p>
1090.  
1091.  
1092.  
1093. <p>“It’s true – Will Ferrell owns a share of Leeds. The 49ers will be announcing his involvement in the coming days and he’s looking forward to sprinkling a little stardust on the club. He loves soccer and has been particularly impressed by the passion of the English game.</p>
1094.  
1095.  
1096.  
1097. <p>“And his aim now is to see Leeds back where they belong — in the Premier League. As far as Will and the 49ers are concerned, this is a serious investment opportunity”, they told The Sun.</p>
1098.  
1099.  
1100.  
1101. <h2>Influx of famous faces in English soccer</h2>
1102.  
1103.  
1104.  
1105. <p><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/leeds-united-tv-schedule/">Leeds</a> will compete in the play-offs after failing to earn promotion to the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/watch-premier-league-on-us-tv-internet/">Premier League</a> automatically. Ipswich took second place, with Daniel Farke’s team finishing third, six points behind. This sets them up to face Norwich in a May 26 semifinal, with the winners advancing to face Southampton or West Brom in the final at Wembley.</p>
1106.  
1107.  
1108.  
1109. <p>According to reports, Ferrell will be joining Russell Crowe—who revealed family ties and invested in Leeds—in donning the club’s distinctive white, yellow, and blue scarf. In fact, a number of other famous people have invested in English football clubs.</p>
1110.  
1111.  
1112.  
1113. <p>The most popular of them are, of course, the Hollywood duo Reynolds and Rob McElhenney at <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/wrexham-claims-it-sells-more-shirts-than-arsenal-in-usa-20240129-WST-486138.html">Wrexham</a>. However, this list also includes rapper Stormzy (who last year invested in Croydon Athletic), Michael B. Jordan (who part-owns Bournemouth), and LeBron James (who is investing in Liverpool).</p>
1114.  
1115.  
1116.  
1117. <p>There was talk that he wanted to invest in Wrexham with Reynolds and McElhenney. However, the rumored agreement with Leeds put a stop to that. He and Reynolds had attended the FA Trophy Final at Wembley in May 2022, when Wrexham lost to Bromley.</p>

1136. <p>The prospective American owners of Everton, 777 Partners, are embroiled in a massive fraud investigation. Amidst a months-long takeover attempt for Premier League club Everton, their financial situation has come under scrutiny.</p>
1137.  
1138.  
1139.  
1140. <p>To make matters worse, the Miami-based investment firm’s effort to acquire the Toffees has hit yet another roadblock. One of 777 Partners’ lenders has now accused the company of a scam involving hundreds of millions of dollars.</p>
1141.  
1142.  
1143.  
1144. <p>Leadenhall Capital Partners added another wrinkle Wednesday by suing in New York’s federal court. Lawsuit claims reveal 777’s over $600 million debt to London investment firm.</p>
1145.  
1146.  
1147.  
1148. <p>Surprisingly, 777 Partners did not have control over the $350 million assets that served as collateral for the loans. Those assets had already been committed to other lenders, the <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/d99f425c-da9d-4860-9a6b-ee65b7424490" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Financial Times</a> say.</p>
1149.  
1150.  
1151.  
1152. <h2>What does lawsuit say?</h2>
1153.  
1154.  
1155.  
1156. <p>“To induce Leadenhall to fund their operation, Wander, along with his group of alter ego entities, ‘pledged’ over $350 million in assets as collateral to Leadenhall, knowing all along that the assets either did not exist, were not actually owned by Wander’s entities, or had already been pledged to another lender”, the complaint states.</p>
1157.  
1158.  
1159.  
1160. <p>“[Co-owner Josh] Wander has already admitted to rampant and fundamental breaches of the parties’ agreements – the only question now is whether Leadenhall will be able to recover millions of dollars in damages from a house of cards on the brink of collapse.”</p>
1161.  
1162.  
1163.  
1164. <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="670" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.worldsoccertalk.com/webp/full/WST_20240505_WST_505262_Josh-Wander-1200x670_7d8973dc.webp&amp;width=1200&amp;height=670" alt="" class="wp-image-505275" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Josh-Wander-1200x670.jpg 1200w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Josh-Wander-300x168.jpg 300w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Josh-Wander-768x429.jpg 768w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Josh-Wander.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure><figcaption>Josh Wander at a recent Everton game.</figcaption></figure>
1165.  
1166.  
1167.  
1168. <h2>Everton depicted as another victim of ‘Ponzi scheme’</h2>
1169.  
1170.  
1171.  
1172. <p>An “outright Ponzi scheme” or “a giant shell game” is what Leadenhall calls 777 Partners. This might delay the Everton acquisition since it is the most recent and severe legal action that <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/everton-in-talks-with-bankruptcy-firm-as-777-endures-more-issues/">777 Partners is facing</a>.</p>
1173.  
1174.  
1175.  
1176. <p>Farhad Moshiri decided to sell his 94.1% share in the Merseyside club in September. However, he is still the current owner of the Toffees. Much <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/everton-begins-searching-for-other-buyers-as-777-deal-collapses/">controversy and postponement</a> have since marred the process.</p>
1177.  
1178.  
1179.  
1180. <p>A game-changer in soccer, the so-called multi-club ownership concept was born thanks to Josh Wander and Steve Pasko’s company. All sorts of soccer teams now have them as shareholders.</p>
1181.  
1182.  
1183.  
1184. <p>Already a formidable force in the world of ownership, their holdings include Hertha Berlin of Germany, Genoa of Italy’s Serie A, and Vasco da Gama of Brazil. However, the Premier League has not yet given its green light for them to acquire Everton.</p>
1185.  
1186.  
1187.  
1188. <p>To paraphrase the lawsuit: “The latest shiny object of Wander’s fraudulent scheme” was how was Everton were depicted. It said that Wander’s approach has consisted of “robbing Peter to pay Paul,” or “using debt to acquire new assets that he can then use as collateral for more debt.”</p>
1189.  
1190.  
1191.  
1192. <p>By gaining 11 points, Everton has surged up the standings to 15th place, safely avoiding relegation from the Premier League. Even though their budget is tight, they have managed to amass a points buffer.</p>
1193.  
1194.  
1195.  
1196. <p>By the end of June 2023, the club’s net debt had climbed to almost $414 million. That was up from $177 million the previous year. From $48 million in the previous year, net losses increased to $112 million in the fiscal year ending in June 2023.</p>

1722. <p>Erling Haaland produced a strikers masterclass, scoring four goals as <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/manchester-city-tv-schedule/">Manchester City</a> thrashed Wolves 5-1 at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday evening. </p>
1723.  
1724.  
1725.  
1726. <p>The result means that the defending Champions are just a point adrift of league leaders <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/arsenal-tv-schedule/">Arsenal</a> with a game in hand as we approach the business end of the season.</p>
1727.  
1728.  
1729.  
1730. <p>The hosts opened the scoring in the 12<sup>th</sup> minute when Josko Gvardiol won a penalty following a late challenge from Rayan Ait-Nouri in the penalty box. Haaland scored from the spot to get his side on the scoreboard, but there was no looking back.</p>
1731.  
1732.  
1733.  
1734. <h2>Manchester City dominate possession</h2>
1735.  
1736.  
1737.  
1738. <p>Pep Guardiola’s side dominated possession all over the pitch as Wolves, with their manager Gary O’Neil suspended and looking on from the box. </p>
1739.  
1740.  
1741.  
1742. <p>Ten minutes before halftime, Haaland made it two with a thumping header from Rodri’s lovely, weighted cross from the right wing.</p>
1743.  
1744.  
1745.  
1746. <p>Right on the stroke of half time, it was more misery for the visitors when City won their second penalty on the day. </p>
1747.  
1748.  
1749.  
1750. <p>After a long VAR check, it was deemed that Nelson Semedo had fouled Haaland after the <a href="https://inside.fifa.com/about-fifa/associations/NOR" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Norwegian</a> was through on goal and was about to shoot from inside the box. The striker stepped up and made no mistake again to make it 3-0 for the hosts before the break.</p>
1751.  
1752.  
1753.  
1754. <p>Wolves got a goal back in the 53<sup>rd</sup> minute when Hwang Hee-chan finished from close range and put the ball into an empty net following a poor judgment from Ederson who failed to track the flight of the ball from a cross from the right wing.</p>
1755.

1762. <h2>Haaland destroys comeback hopes</h2>
1763.  
1764.  
1765.  
1766. <p>However, any hopes of a Wolves comeback was completely squashed just seconds later when Haaland scored with a world-class curling effort after bringing the ball down brilliantly from Phil Foden’s cross-field pass.</p>
1767.  
1768.  
1769.  
1770. <p>The 23-year-old almost got his fifth right at the hour mark but Jose Sa made a brilliant stop to tip the ball over the bar following a right-footed effort. </p>
1771.  
1772.  
1773.  
1774. <p>It was Julian Alvarez who made it 5-1 in the 85th minute for City coming on for Haaland to cap off a memorable day for Guardiola’s side. </p>
1775.  
1776.  
1777.  
1778. <p>With three games remaining for City, the defending Champions will feel confident to retain their title with three games left and one in hand, and a point behind Arsenal.</p>
1779.  
1780.  
1781.  
1782. <p>City will take on Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur in two crucial away games in the coming ten days before rounding the season off at home against West Ham. Arsenal, meanwhile, will take on Manchester United next week, a fixture that could decide the fate of the Premier League title. </p>
1783.  
1784.  
1785.  
1786. <p>Earlier on the day, Mikel Arteta’s side beat Bournemouth 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium to go four points clear at the top. </p>
1787.  
1788.  
1789.  
1790. <p>Bukayo Saka opened the scoring from the spot right on the stroke of halftime to make it 1-0 for the London side. Leandro Trossard and Declan Rice each scored in the second half to cap off a comfortable 3-0 win while VAR ruled out a Bournemouth goal that will certainly raise eyebrows.</p>

1809. <p>Barcelona star Robert Lewandowski’s summer departure remains a possibility, according to his coach Xavi.</p>
1810.  
1811.  
1812.  
1813. <p>While the season winds down, many are wondering what will happen between <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/suarez-2-0-lewandowski-to-make-surprise-barcelona-exit/">Robert Lewandowski</a> and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/xavi-gives-lewandowski-stern-talking-to-after-la-liga-scare-20231224-WST-479570.html">Barcelona</a>. Despite being the most productive player on Xavi’s team, the 35-year-old Polish striker is reportedly set to leave next summer.</p>
1814.  
1815.  
1816.  
1817. <p>Coming up on his 36th birthday this summer, rumors of a transfer to Saudi Arabia have circulated for more than a year. While the Polish striker had a terrible 2023 overall, he has played like a new player this year.</p>
1818.  
1819.  
1820.  
1821. <h2>What did Lewandowski say about future?</h2>
1822.  
1823.  
1824.  
1825. <p>Following his hat trick in their most recent victory against Valencia, he made it plain that he will not be leaving the Blaugrana this summer. “Saying goodbye [to Barcelona] is definitely out of the question for me [this summer],” he told <a href="https://sportbild.bild.de/fussball/internationaler-fussball/barca-verbleib-oder-abschied-lewandowski-verraet-seine-zukunftsplaene-662f8051180a9c563ec6a21b" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SportBILD</a>.</p>
1826.  
1827.  
1828.  
1829. <p>“I feel physically good again now. I had physical problems in the first half of the season. Things got better in 2024. As long as I continue to feel as good as I do now and notice in training that no one is outrunning me, I want to keep playing.</p>
1830.  
1831.  
1832.  
1833. <p>“As of today, I say: This will continue for at least two more years. Only when I notice that I am no longer physically at top level and am in pain would I start to think. That’s not the case. I haven’t bothered with [Saudi Arabia] for a second so far. Neither Saudi Arabia nor to the USA. That doesn’t make sense at the moment.</p>
1834.  
1835.  
1836.  
1837. <p>“At some point it’s about what my heart and my head say. When I’m 38 years old and the pain comes, I have to ask myself: Do I even want to continue? But I don’t want to plan that far yet. Currently I say: I can definitely play at this highest level by 2026.”</p>

1844.  
1845. <h2>What did Xavi say?</h2>
1846.  
1847.  
1848.  
1849. <p>Regardless, the Catalan club is supposedly open to bids for their star striker. An article from <a href="https://twitter.com/FCBRAC1/status/1786517682201747850?t=bmBz0iAip1O9luRYmIptKA&amp;s=08" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">RAC1</a> states that his huge salary of $34 million next season is the main factor in the decision.<br><br>Because of the club’s financial problems, Lewandowski’s contract is a source of worry as it seeks to manage their budget. The seasoned player is in the midst of his second season with the club and has a contract extension that includes a fourth-year option.</p>
1850.  
1851.  
1852.  
1853. <p>Even though the Catalans’ financial woes have been well-documented, the club will still be active during the summer transfer window. Thus, they may be forced to sell some of their key players.</p>
1854.  
1855.  
1856.  
1857. <p>Xavi himself hinted at this possibility at Friday’s news conference. He assured the Pole of his present and future worth. Nonetheless, he still wouldn’t say that the seasoned forward may stay in the summer.</p>
1858.  
1859.  
1860.  
1861. <p>“If he understands criticism, he has to understand if it comes from the coach. We value Lewandowski a lot and as for the future, we will decide at the end of the season”, <a href="https://www.marca.com/futbol/barcelona/2024/05/03/6633d3a422601db54a8b456c.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Xavi told reporters</a>.</p>

1880. <p>Important performances on Thursday catapulted Italy to second place in the UEFA club coefficient table for the current season.</p>
1881.  
1882.  
1883.  
1884. <p>Strong runs in the different European tournaments has seen the nation climb the rankings that determine the number of entrants each nation gets in future tournaments.</p>
1885.  
1886.  
1887.  
1888. <p>Italian soccer reached a turning point this week when Atalanta and Fiorentina played in the semi-finals of two competitions. </p>
1889.  
1890.  
1891.  
1892. <p>Firstly, the Bergamo side and Marseille played to a 1-1 draw in the Europa League semi-finals. Then, Fiorentina won 3-2 at home against Club Brugge in the Conference League semi-finals.</p>
1893.  
1894.  
1895.  
1896. <h2>Rise of Serie A and fall of La Liga</h2>
1897.  
1898.  
1899.  
1900. <p>Additionally, this turn of events marks a watershed moment in Spanish soccer’s history. For the first time in this century, La Liga is <a href="https://twitter.com/OneFootball/status/1786440586112753949" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">not ranked among the top two leagues</a> in the UEFA rankings. The last time that happened was back in 1998.</p>
1901.  
1902.  
1903.  
1904. <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="424" height="682" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.worldsoccertalk.com/webp/full/WST_20240504_WST_505166_image-4_1e50504c.webp&amp;width=424&amp;height=682" alt="" class="wp-image-505187" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/image-4.png 424w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/image-4-187x300.png 187w" sizes="(max-width: 424px) 100vw, 424px"></figure><figcaption>The current UEFA coefficient rankings</figcaption></figure>
1905.  
1906.  
1907.  
1908. <p>At the moment, the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/watch-premier-league-on-us-tv-internet/">Premier League</a> has 104.303 points, which is much more than second-place <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/where-to-watch-serie-a-on-us-tv-and-internet/">Serie A</a> (89.141 points), and third-place <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/where-to-watch-la-liga-on-us-tv-and-internet/">La Liga</a> (88.864 points). Next in line is the Bundesliga at number four, Ligue 1 at number five, Eredivise in sixth, and Portugal at number seven, with 56.316 points, lower down the standings.</p>
1909.  
1910.  
1911.  
1912. <p>Among this season’s European tournaments, Italy’s remarkable performance in the semi-finals deserves a special highlight. The likes of Roma, Atalanta, and Fiorentina are all in the mix for the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/europa-league-tv-schedule/">Europa League</a>. Real Madrid, representing Spain in the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/champions-league-tv-schedule/">Champions League</a>, is the only team still in the hunt for a final spot.</p>
1913.  
1914.  
1915.  
1916. <p>Achieving success in continental events is an ever-changing process, and this reorganization of the UEFA club rankings exemplifies that. Reestablishing Spain’s position as one of Europe’s top soccer nations will be no easy feat, especially in light of Italy’s growing influence throughout the continent.</p>
1917.  
1918.  
1919.  
1920. <h2>Serie A overall winners</h2>
1921.  
1922.  
1923.  
1924. <p>After a close competition and as a result of England and France not making the cut, Germany and Italy will each have <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/italy-earns-extra-ucl-spot-what-england-needs-to-top-germany/">five spots in next year’s Champions League</a>.</p>
1925.  
1926.  
1927.  
1928. <p>The Champions League spot distribution was finalized this week after Borussia Dortmund’s 1-0 semi-final victory against Paris Saint-Germain. After last month’s Serie A, Italy has already secured the first additional slot.</p>
1929.  
1930.  
1931.  
1932. <p>Due to their strong showings in Europe this season, the two leagues have been granted an additional spot. This is all a part of the overhaul, as next season’s tournament will have 36 teams instead of 24.</p>
1933.  
1934.  
1935.  
1936. <p>European teams’ performances in the Europa League, Champions League, and Europa Conference League determine their UEFA coefficient rankings.</p>
1937.  
1938.  
1939.  
1940. <p>It doesn’t matter if Aston Villa beat Olympiakos in the Europa Conference League semi-finals and then win the trophy; England still fall short, leaving the Premier League with four spots as normal.</p>
1941.  
1942.  
1943.  
1944. <p>It is also possible that Germany and Italy will each have six delegates. Assuming Dortmund win the Champions League but falls short of a Bundesliga top-four finish, and Atalanta or Roma win the Europa League, that scenario would play out.</p>
1945.  
1946.  
1947.  
1948. <p>Each tournament’s victor advances to the Champions League the following year.</p>

1967. <p>The initial limit for the 2024 European Championships was 23 players; however, UEFA have verified that it has been increased to 26 players.</p>

1971. <p>Unlike the last competition in 2021, when teams may have up to 26 players. Unfortunately, three of them were unable to participate and had to settle for spectator status.</p>
1972.  
1973.  
1974.  
1975. <p>Even though they were eligible, players like Sergio Ramos and Leroy Sane have gone unselected in prior big tournaments. The new regulations greatly increase the likelihood that all of the top talents will play.</p>
1976.  
1977.  
1978.  
1979. <p>This ruling raises the possibility that all future UEFA national tournaments will have 26-player teams. With the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/uefa-european-championship-tv-schedule/">European Championships</a> coming up in only six weeks, this will be helpful for national teams coping with injury concerns.</p>
1980.  
1981.  
1982.  
1983. <p>There has been considerable lobbying by competing nations, who are keen to have as much space in their squad as possible.</p>
1984.  
1985.  
1986.  
1987. <p>Keep in mind that the 2022 <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/world-cup-tv-schedule/">World Cup</a> in Qatar also included 26-player groups. This was because, back then, the competition was located smack dab in the center of the domestic season.</p>

1993.  
1994.  
1995. <h2>What did UEFA say?</h2>
1996.  
1997.  
1998.  
1999. <p>“The UEFA Executive Committee has today decided to increase the maximum squad size of the teams participating in the upcoming UEFA EURO 2024 from the original quota of 23 to 26 players. </p>
2000.  
2001.  
2002.  
2003. <p>The increase does not represent an obligation for the participating national associations”, <a href="https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/028d-1acd19eca649-b1a12d1a7d41-1000--teams-allowed-to-register-up-to-26-players-for-uefa-euro/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">UEFA have stated</a>.</p>
2004.  
2005.  
2006.  
2007. <p>“In accordance with the competition regulations, teams must provide UEFA with a list containing a minimum of 23 players and a maximum of 26 by the deadline of 7 June.”</p>
2008.  
2009.  
2010.  
2011. <p>Previously several foreign coaches felt the 23-player rosters were too small. With so many players suffering injuries this season, Ronald Koeman and Gareth Southgate have advocated for a larger roster.</p>
2012.  
2013.  
2014.  
2015. <p>“It is about the load carrying ability of the players”, said Koeman. Then, Southgate chimed in as well: “Well, given where we are now [we need 26-man rosters]! We’ve got to make the best decisions [regarding selection] with what we know and some of those currently are going to be medical decisions.</p>
2016.  
2017.  
2018.  
2019. <p>“We’ve been able to get those right in the previous [two] tournaments. We’ve been able to give people time [to recover from injuries, having named them in the squad]. But with 23 that’s definitely more difficult.”</p>
2020.  
2021.  
2022.  
2023. <p>The plan to move to 26-player teams got a lot of support at the most recent Euro 2024 coaches meeting, as per <a href="https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/ck5k3d1j34do" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BBC</a>.</p>

2028.  
2029.  
2030.  
2031. <p>Managers will feel less pressure as the event approaches (it starts on June 14) thanks to the move. Especially since UEFA had intended to return to the previous 23-man roster limit.</p>
2032.  
2033.  
2034.  
2035. <p>In addition, the number of players on the Copa America roster will most likely go up from 23 to 26. Official confirmation from CONMEBOL is anticipated shortly.</p>
2036.  
2037.  
2038.  
2039. <p>“Almost certainly the list for the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/copa-america-tv-schedule/">Copa America</a> is 26 players and not 23, it would be a list like the World Cup. CONMEBOL is soon to confirm it”, said journalist <a href="https://twitter.com/Continental590/status/1786537597633769716" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hernan Castillo</a>.</p>

2058. <p>Much to Arsenal’s surprise, former goalkeeper Jens Lehmann has quietly bought the rights to the ‘Invincibles’ trademark.</p>
2059.  
2060.  
2061.  
2062. <p>Lehmann played with the Gunners from 2003 to 2008 and was an integral part of Arsene Wenger’s 2003-04 Premier League winning team. </p>
2063.  
2064.  
2065.  
2066. <p>As part of the historic, still unrivaled, record-breaking run, he started all 38 games and recorded 15 clean sheets.</p>
2067.  
2068.  
2069.  
2070. <p>The 54-year-old has now allegedly paid $37,600 to acquire the trademark rights to the ‘Invincibles’ name and logo. </p>
2071.  
2072.  
2073.  
2074. <p>The <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13375185/Arsenal-Invincibles-Premier-League-03-04.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Daily Mail</a> states that Arsenal were reportedly unaware of Lehmann’s intentions when he made the move, which took them by surprise.</p>
2075.  
2076.  
2077.  
2078. <p>With the help of 28 other players and 12 employees, including Wenger, the ex-goalkeeper plans to launch a business. One of his goals is to plan fundraisers to donate the proceeds to good causes.</p>
2079.  
2080.  
2081.  
2082. <p>Legends from Manchester United will be playing in a match, and there have been rumors of a documentary and an international tour.</p>
2083.  
2084.  
2085.  
2086. <h2>What did Lehmann say?</h2>
2087.  
2088.  
2089.  
2090. <p>“I had the idea because the name ‘Invincibles’ becomes more and more popular approaching the 20th anniversary,” Lehman told the Daily Mail.</p>
2091.  
2092.  
2093.  
2094. <p>“Nobody had it, so I was looking into it. I was ready to get the branding rights for our group, so everybody who’s using it is violating our brand. The club were probably a little surprised because nobody thought about having the brand name registered. At least they know it’s now being controlled.</p>
2095.  
2096.  
2097.  
2098. <p>“We have 28 players and 12 staff members, which includes the boss. The company has not been set up yet because we’re still preparing. There will be one or two events here very soon where we give something back to the people. Everybody will be a shareholder of the company.</p>
2099.  
2100.  
2101.  
2102. <p>“It’s easier to get all the members of our group in one company because you have costs and income created. The company gets the revenue and then hopefully everything is shared. If we have income, we are going to do something for a charity.”</p>
2103.  
2104.  
2105.  
2106. <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="378" height="451" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.worldsoccertalk.com/webp/full/WST_20240504_WST_505153_image-2_6813fc70.webp&amp;width=378&amp;height=451" alt="" class="wp-image-505180" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/image-2.png 378w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/image-2-251x300.png 251w" sizes="(max-width: 378px) 100vw, 378px"></figure><figcaption>Jens Lehmann won the title with Arsenal in 2003 – 2004 </figcaption></figure>
2107.  
2108.  
2109.  
2110. <h2>Ex-teammate defends plan</h2>
2111.  
2112.  
2113.  
2114. <p>The fiery Jens Lehmann admittedly wouldn’t think twice about getting into an argument with his coworkers. Thus, it’s no surprise that the ‘Invincibles’ moniker allegedly slipped past <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/amp/news/how-arsenal-tried-to-recruit-messi-fabregas-and-gerard-pique/">Arsenal</a>‘s fingers and the club was unaware of Lehmann’s intentions.</p>
2115.  
2116.  
2117.  
2118. <p>But the veteran isn’t driven by money, as his former teammate Martin Keown verified, so he’s including the whole team in his plans.</p>
2119.  
2120.  
2121.  
2122. <p>“It’s been a very open process – what Jens has done is taken out a patent on the word ‘Invincibles’ and shared that with all the players and all the staff,” Keown told <a href="https://talksport.com/football/1853910/arsenal-invincibles-martin-keown-jens-lehmann-trademark/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">talkSPORT</a>.</p>
2123.  
2124.  
2125.  
2126. <p>“He’s set up a company where everybody would benefit if anything could be benefited from. It’s not for himself, it’s for the whole group… with our approval. Everybody’s been in the WhatsApp group of 40 people – of players and members of staff… lots of people played their part in this incredible success.</p>
2127.  
2128.  
2129.  
2130. <p>“I wouldn’t put a negative on this,” he continued. “I think it’s about unity. The club is completely in tandem with it and we’ll look to do things going forward for charity with the club. For me it’s a positive, I don’t see this is as a negative story.</p>
2131.  
2132.  
2133.  
2134. <p>“Jens has done this for the group, he’s done it for the masseur, the kit man, the people who didn’t really earn the monies. Arsene knows and is aware of it, he’s part of that group, as are all the staff members. Jens is not taking this for himself, he’s just making sure it’s protected going forward.”</p>

2153. <p>This year marks the centennial of the first World Cup, and plans are underway to bring the tournament back to the Estadio Centenario, the site where the hosts Uruguay were crowned the inaugural champions.</p>
2154.  
2155.  
2156.  
2157. <p>The 1930 World Cup saw 16 teams invited to play, but withdrawals and a missed ship meant 13 teams were able to compete in Montevideo.</p>
2158.  
2159.  
2160.  
2161. <p>The idea of Uruguay hosting the 2030 World Cup has been floating about since the early 2000s.</p>
2162.  
2163.  
2164.  
2165. <p>Uruguay and Argentina launched their joint bid to host the tournament in 2017, and Paraguay and Chile eventually joined the bid as well.</p>
2166.  
2167.  
2168.  
2169. <p>As part of their candidacy, Uruguay insisted on using Montevideo’s storied <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/uruguay-debuts-stadium-plans-as-part-of-2030-world-cup-bid-20230817-WST-450811.html">Estadio Centenario</a>, </p>
2170.  
2171.  
2172.  
2173. <p>Little has changed at the site since it was first constructed in 1930 to host the World Cup. Consequently, it was obvious that a significant renovation was necessary so that it could host the 2030 edition.</p>
2174.  
2175.  
2176.  
2177. <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="213" height="649" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.worldsoccertalk.com/webp/full/WST_20240504_WST_505146_image-1_3c9b1f0a.webp&amp;width=213&amp;height=649" alt="" class="wp-image-505176" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/image-1.png 213w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/image-1-98x300.png 98w" sizes="(max-width: 213px) 100vw, 213px"></figure><figcaption>Renovations are underway at the Estadio Centenario</figcaption></figure>
2178.  
2179.  
2180.  
2181. <h2>Where are plans?</h2>
2182.  
2183.  
2184.  
2185. <p>While proposing some substantial alterations, the initiative to modernize Estadio Centenario seeks to maintain the stadium’s historic identity.</p>
2186.  
2187.  
2188.  
2189. <p>The lowest levels of the stands will be reconstructed, and the stadium’s field will be reduced. Also, once the stands are linked, the height of the sitting room alone in the west stand (Tribuna America) will be increased to match that of the rest of the auditorium.</p>
2190.  
2191.  
2192.  
2193. <p>Almost all of the stands will have roofs, which is a major change. The distinctive tower (Torre de los Homenajes) of the stadium will remain intact. Thus, the only area where a tiny hole will be cut in the top is surrounding it.<br><br>After the renovations, up to 80,000 fans will be able to fit inside the stadium. According to FIFA, this is the bare requirement for hosting the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/world-cup-tv-schedule/">World Cup</a> opening match and final. </p>
2194.  
2195.  
2196.  
2197. <p>At one point, the Estadio Centenario was even considered to host the championship game.</p>
2198.  
2199.  
2200.  
2201. <h2>What’s new?</h2>
2202.  
2203.  
2204.  
2205. <p>This past Tuesday, the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) announced that the new Centenario Stadium would be designed by <a href="https://www.auf.org.uy/informacion-sobre-la-reforma-del-estadio-centenario-de-cara-al-2030/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">architects from Uruguay and Brazil</a>. They are tasked with providing the blueprint for the Centenario Stadium’s renovations for the 2030 World Cup opening match on July 31.</p>
2206.  
2207.  
2208.  
2209. <p>The AUF selected three firms from a pool of nine: “From,” “SB Arquitectos,” and “Vigliecca &amp; Asociados.” To have Montevideo host the first World Cup match in 2030, Uruguay must submit a <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/south-america-submits-joint-bid-for-2030-world-cup-20230208-WST-419024.html">Bid Book</a> to FIFA for final approval by July 31.</p>
2210.  
2211.  
2212.  
2213. <p>Designing the overall idea is the responsibility of the Uruguayan and Brazilian studios. Of all the phases of the Centenario Stadium restoration project, the conceptual design represents the height of creativity. Its goal is to show the design in its most finished form.</p>
2214.  
2215.  
2216.  
2217. <p>According to Referi, the selected proposal includes two or three possibilities for covering the Centenario Stadium, as well as a two- to three-meter drop in field elevation. Also, restoration efforts will center on the Tribuna America and the field’s decline.</p>
2218.  
2219.  
2220.  
2221. <p>This will allow the Centenario to accommodate more people. Since all three entities must provide their consent, the AUF, the federal government, and the Montevideo city government oversaw the whole procedure.</p>

2240. <p>Just a few La Liga games remain this season, and Barcelona are qualified for the UEFA Champions League for 2024-25. Even though Real Madrid came out on top in the championship battle, the Blaugrana are still fighting for second place.</p>
2241.  
2242.  
2243.  
2244. <p>With Xavi Hernandez’s <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/why-barcelona-needs-xavi-to-stay-despite-desire-to-leave-the-club/">choice to remain</a>, going forward, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/barcelona-tv-schedule/">Barcelona</a>’s plans will be more stable. They have already secured a berth in Europe’s top tournament, but their seeding has not been finalized.</p>
2245.  
2246.  
2247.  
2248. <p>With the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/where-to-watch-uefa-champions-league-and-europa-league-on-us-tv-and-internet/">Champions League</a> reverting to a league system for the next season, the Catalans are in Pot 1 of the draw. </p>
2249.  
2250.  
2251.  
2252. <p>The winners of the top European leagues used to occupy Pot 1 in the draw. UEFA would also pair them with the Champions League and Europa League winners.</p>
2253.  
2254.  
2255.  
2256. <p>But starting with the 2024-25 season, a whole new method of seeding will be in place. Next campaign, each of the 36 clubs will play in one of four groups determined by their cumulative UEFA coefficient from the previous five seasons.</p>
2257.  
2258.  
2259.  
2260. <p>This means that eight clubs have already guaranteed themselves a spot in Pot 1. Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, PSG, Liverpool, Inter, Leipzig, and Borussia Dortmund are among the formidable clubs on the list.</p>
2261.  
2262.

2265.  
2266.  
2267.  
2268. <h2>Barcelona hold out hope</h2>
2269.  
2270.  
2271.  
2272. <p>The last few European matches of the season will determine the season-ending pots, and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/xabi-alonso-can-make-history-by-breaking-bayerns-hegemony-20231212-WST-476707.html">Xabi Alonso</a>‘s Bayer Leverkusen will play a significant part. </p>
2273.  
2274.  
2275.  
2276. <p><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/bundesliga-could-have-six-clubs-in-next-seasons-champions-league/">Leverkusen</a> are now riding high after Alonso guided them to their first-ever Bundesliga championship.</p>
2277.  
2278.  
2279.  
2280. <p>What’s more, the new German champions are now cruising toward a UEFA Europa League final appearance. Herein lies the possible danger to Barcelona’s standing; the <a href="https://www.uefa.com/nationalassociations/uefarankings/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">UEFA coefficient</a> will decide their seeding status starting from the next season.</p>
2281.  
2282.  
2283.  
2284. <p>At 88,000 points, Bayer Leverkusen’s coefficient is great, but it’s dangerously close to Barcelona’s 91,000 points. &nbsp;They are now within striking distance of the final after beating Roma 2-0 in the first leg. Furthermore, if the Werkself win the second leg as well, they will tie Barcelona for the most UEFA coefficient points ever.</p>
2285.  
2286.  
2287.  
2288. <p>With a victory in the end or a tie in the first half, they would surpass La Blaugrana. Plus, as the Bundesliga winners, UEFA may give Bayer Leverkusen the nod in case of a draw. Should either be the case, when August’s draw rolls around, Xavi’s squad will be in Pot 2.</p>
2289.  
2290.  
2291.  
2292. <h2>Roma to ruin party?</h2>
2293.  
2294.  
2295.  
2296. <p>One more unanticipated turn of events, however, might make things much more complicated. Both Barcelona and Leverkusen may end up outside of Pot 1 if Roma somehow beats Leverkusen despite being down 2-0.</p>
2297.  
2298.  
2299.  
2300. <p>With a current UEFA coefficient of 100,000, Roma are strong candidates for Pot 1, thanks to their titles in the 2021-22 Conference League and their participation in the Europa League. Assuming they maintain their present position in the Serie A standings, they will be assured a berth in the 2024-25 Champions League. </p>
2301.  
2302.  
2303.  
2304. <p>In contrast, if they win the Europa League, they will automatically be eligible to play in the Champions League.</p>

2323. <p>U.S. Soccer and the Mexican Football Federation announced on Monday that they will not pursue co-hosting the 2027 Women’s World Cup. The duo was previously seen as <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/fifa-to-visit-usa-mexico-for-2027-womens-world-cup-bid-20240131-WST-486519.html">leading candidates</a> to host the competition. Potentially having the tournament in North America would have given the area a stranglehold on major soccer competitions for at least <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/2022/04/07/world-cups-and-olympics-present-historic-opportunity-for-u-s/">three consecutive summers</a>.</p>
2324.  
2325.  
2326.  
2327. <p>All three North American nations are set to host the 2026 World Cup in two years. The United States, Mexico, and Canada beat out Morocco in a vote on selecting a host area back in 2018. The Summer Olympics will also come to the States in 2028, as Los Angeles becomes just the third city to host the games three separate times.</p>
2328.  
2329.  
2330.  
2331. <p>Along with these global tournaments, other significant soccer competitions are also heading Stateside. The <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/copa-america-tv-schedule/">2024 Copa America</a> and the newly expanded 2025 FIFA Club World Cup are both coming to America as well.</p>
2332.

2335. <h2>USA and Mexico stop 2027 bid to focus on 2031 Women’s World Cup</h2>
2336.  
2337.  
2338.  
2339. <p>While the U.S. and Mexico will not be hosting the 2027 Women’s World Cup, they are not completely backing away from the competition. Instead, the two nations are planning to regroup and target the 2031 Women’s World Cup. U.S. Soccer president Cindy Parlow Cone claimed that the move gives the two sides more time to plan for the tournament.</p>

2344.  
2345.  
2346.  
2347. <p>The organization is also asserting that they will learn valuable information from hosting the 2026 World Cup. They can then potentially use the knowledge five years later. “Hosting a World Cup tournament is a huge undertaking – and having additional time to prepare allows us to maximize its impact across the globe,” Parlow Cone <a href="https://www.ussoccer.com/stories/2024/04/us-soccer-and-mexican-football-federation-to-pursue-2031-fifa-womens-world-cup" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">stated</a> in an official press release. </p>
2348.  
2349.  
2350.  
2351. <p>“I’m proud of our commitment to provide equitable experiences for the players, fans and all our stakeholders. Shifting our bid will enable us to host a record-breaking Women’s World Cup in 2031 that will help to grow and raise the level of the women’s game both here at home as well as across the globe.”</p>
2352.  
2353.  
2354.  
2355. <p>American soccer fans would have undoubtedly loved having all of these major tournaments held in the nation in successive summers. However, scheduling all of these matches is surely a headache for organizers. The wait also gives U.S. Soccer ample time to press FIFA over gender equality issues as well.</p>
2356.

2358.  
2359. <h2>US Soccer also wants FIFA to commit more funding to Women’s World Cup</h2>
2360.  
2361.  
2362.  
2363. <p>U.S. Soccer went on to reveal that the delay will help them call on FIFA to invest equally in both the men’s and women’s World Cups by 2031. The governing body of the sport has plans to spend nearly $900 million at the 2026 Men’s World Cup. However, FIFA previously shelled out just over $250 million at the 2023 Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.</p>
2364.  
2365.  
2366.  
2367. <p>With Mexico and the United States dropping out of contention for the 2027 tournament, there are currently just <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/2027-womens-world-cup-bids-come-down-to-the-wire-20231209-WST-476004.html">two potential bids</a> remaining. Brazil will now face off against a joint bid from Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands. FIFA is expected to officially name a 2027 Women’s World Cup host on May 17. </p>

2386. <p>On Tuesday, Bayern Munich faced Real Madrid at home in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinals. <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/real-madrid-tv-schedule/">Real Madrid</a>, largely seen as the favorite to win this season’s <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/champions-league-tv-schedule/">UEFA Champions League</a>, opened up a one-goal lead. However, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/bayern-munich-tv-schedule/">Bayern Munich</a> stormed back with two second-half goals before Real Madrid scored again. </p>
2387.  
2388.  
2389.  
2390. <p>The game had a flow that favored Bayern Munich. However, that came by design for Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti. Deploying Vinicius Junior on one side with Jude Bellingham as his other ‘striker’ is not the most attacking side <em>Los Blancos</em> can put out. Relying on defense <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/real-madrid-beats-man-city-to-reach-champions-league-semifinal/">worked against Manchester City</a> in the quarterfinal. Then, the more the first half at the Allianz Arena wore on, it worked against Bayern Munich.</p>
2391.  
2392.  
2393.  
2394. <p>Preventing Bayern of any truly dangerous chances, Real Madrid waited for its moment of brilliance. That came from former Bayern Munich midfielder Toni Kroos. The German picked out a delicious pass between the Bayern lines that played Vinicius alone on goal against Neuer. The Brazilian took the shot on with his first attempt with his favored right foot to beat the oncoming Neuer. A <a href="https://twitter.com/CBSSportsGolazo/status/1785390873070448691" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">clinical finish</a> against the run of play was precisely what manager Carlo Ancelotti had in mind. Real Madrid entered the halftime break with a one-goal advantage.</p>
2395.  
2396.  
2397.  
2398. <h2>Bayern Munich turns the game around with second-half goals </h2>
2399.  
2400.  
2401.  
2402. <p>That lead did not last long, though. Whatever Thomas Tuchel communicated to his Bayern Munich side worked wonders. The first beneficiary to make a difference on the scoresheet was Leroy Sane in the 53rd minute. Despite failing to score in his last 25 games, the German has made an impact in other ways, including a great game against Arsenal in North London. He broke his personal dud with <a href="https://twitter.com/CBSSportsGolazo/status/1785402794440052764" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a cracking effort</a> after cutting onto his left foot. He blasted a shot to beat Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin at the near post, one the Ukrainian likely wants back.</p>
2403.  
2404.  
2405.  
2406. <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="670" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.worldsoccertalk.com/webp/full/WST_20240430_WST_504384_Sane-Real-Madrid-1200x670_88b2770e.webp&amp;width=1200&amp;height=670" alt="" class="wp-image-504387" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/Sane-Real-Madrid-1200x670.jpg 1200w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/Sane-Real-Madrid-300x168.jpg 300w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/Sane-Real-Madrid-768x429.jpg 768w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/Sane-Real-Madrid.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure></figure>
2407.  
2408.  
2409.  
2410. <p>Four minutes later, Bayern Munich earned a penalty through Jamal Musiala that gave the hosts the advantage. Lucas Vazquez brought down the German as Musiala cleverly worked the ball into a dangerous area. Harry Kane stepped up, and despite Antonio Rudiger telling Lunin which way to go, the <a href="https://twitter.com/CBSSportsGolazo/status/1785403721058287968" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">English international converted</a> yet again. The goal gives Kane 43 goals in 43 games for Bayern in all competitions.</p>
2411.  
2412.  
2413.  
2414. <p>Bayern Munich had two chances to produce a two-goal lead, both from corners. Eric Dier should have scored in the 67th minute. A powerful header from the Bayern defender was straight at Lunin, who gladly held onto the ball. Then, four minutes later, a loose ball in the box after a corner was swallowed up by Lunin as no Bayern players reacted quickly enough. Corners could be crucial in the second leg if Bayern hits out on the counter. </p>
2415.  
2416.  
2417.  
2418. <h2>Real Madrid pulls level with Bayern Munich in Champions League</h2>
2419.  
2420.  
2421.  
2422. <p>In terms of the first leg, Bayern Munich rued those missed chances. A brilliant turn from Rodrygo around Kim Min-jae forced the South Korean to bring the Brazilian down. Vinicius stepped up and slotted the penalty home in the 83rd minute. The tie was level following Vinicius’ brace.</p>
2423.  
2424.  
2425.  
2426. <p>That goal leaves it all to play for in the second leg. The return leg at the Santiago Bernabeu is just over one week away.

2445. <p>NBC Sports is continuing to push for <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/premier-league-tv-schedule/">Premier League</a> regular season matches to be played in the USA. The massive media company has had exclusive broadcasting rights to the English top flight in America since 2013.

2446.  
2447.  
2448.  
2449. <p>American interest in the Premier League has exploded during the partnership with NBC. The network has undoubtedly done a fantastic job promoting and covering the division in recent years. This growth was on display during a recent matchup between <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/arsenal-tv-schedule/">Arsenal</a> and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/manchester-city-tv-schedule/">Manchester City</a>. The game, which eventually played out to a 0-0 draw, tallied a total of <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tv/man-city-arsenal-sets-premier-league-viewership-record-in-us/">2.6 million viewers</a> across NBC’s platforms. It was a record for an English match broadcasted in the States.</p>

2454.  
2455.  
2456.  
2457. <p>Due to rising interest and their massive investment, NBC would love to capitalize financially by hosting Premier League games in America. Jon Miller, NBC Sports’ president of acquisitions and sponsorship, even claimed that his network has already held discussions with English officials regarding the move.</p>

2484. <p>“At some point in the future, I would love to see a couple of Premier League games open the season here in big stadiums on our opening weekend. And I know that’s something that we’ll continue to push for because I think that there’s an American audience here that would like to see regular-season games. But in the meantime, we’ll continue to work with the Premier League to do everything we can to make the games available to as many people as possible.”</p>

2493.  
2494.  
2495.  
2496. <p>Potentially being able to attend a regular season Premier League game would make many American soccer fans happy. After all, making the trip across the pond is just too expensive for a lot of people. Nevertheless, English soccer executives should resist the money grab and keep Premier League matches in England. </p>
2497.  
2498.  
2499.  
2500. <p>Other soccer federations have come under fire in recent months for holding meaningful matches in other nations. Turkish <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/turkish-teams-want-super-cup-to-be-moved-from-saudi-arabia-20231107-WST-467873.html">clubs and fans blasted officials</a> for holding their Super Cup in Saudi Arabia. Italian and Spanish executives also endured similar aggression for moving their cups to the Middle East. Both deals provided the leagues with massive monetary deals.</p>
2501.  
2502.  
2503.  
2504. <p>Players, the most important people involved in the sport, are also already complaining about being overworked. FIFA and other governing bodies have continued to expand schedules to various competitions throughout the year. As a result, burnout and even injuries are up <a href="https://www.reuters.com/sports/soccer/winter-world-cup-led-increased-injury-severity-europes-top-leagues-study-2023-11-19/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">significantly</a> among European players. Adding more travel for these players would only exacerbate the ongoing issue.</p>
2505.  
2506.  
2507.  
2508. <p>American soccer fans may point to the fact that the NFL currently schedules multiple regular season games in Europe. Nevertheless, the move is generally unfavorable <a href="https://www.twobillsdrive.com/community/topic/249907-when-will-this-european-games-madness-stop/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">across the board</a>. Players, coaches, and fans typically do not support playing games across the pond. The NFL, however, insists due to the financial aspects of the deal. This would be similar to the Premier League hosting matches here in the States.</p>
2509.  
2510.  
2511.  
2512. <p>While the Premier League may be listening to NBC’s pitch, English officials may not be too receptive to the idea. Richard Masters, the division’s chief executive, recently claimed that while the door is “<a href="https://theathletic.com/5460003/2024/04/30/premier-league-games-united-states-nbc/?source=emp_shared_article&amp;redirected=1&amp;access_token=7202288" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ajar</a>” to schedule matches overseas, the Premier League is not currently considering the move.</p>

2531. <p>Borussia Dortmund picked up a one-goal win over PSG in the first leg of the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League semifinals. Niclas Füllkrug’s goal in the first half was enough to best the French champions on Wednesday evening. Both sides had ample chances, and both sides will feel like they could have done more. Regardless, Dortmund has a lead going into Tuesday’s matchup at the Parc des Princes. </p>
2532.  
2533.  
2534.  
2535. <p>Entering the tie, PSG was the favorite. With arguably the best player in the world in Kylian Mbappe and a domestically struggling Borussia Dortmund side, the Germans faced a tall task. Given the game was in Germany, though, Dortmund pulled on the energy of the Yellow Wall in the Westfalenstadion to have a strong showing in the first half. </p>
2536.  
2537.  
2538.  
2539. <p>Dortmund had the best chance of the game to start through Marcel Sabitzer. A ball played in from the outside via Julian Brandt met Sabitzer who was in alone against Gianluigi Donnarumma. The Italian made a strong save to deny Sabitzer, and the chance disappeared. </p>
2540.  
2541.  
2542.  
2543. <p>However, Dortmund would find the lead just before the half-hour mark. A long ball over the top from Nico Schlotterbeck ballooned into the path of an onside Niclas Füllkrug. A brilliant first touch from the German striker allowed him to take a shot with his second touch. A <a href="https://twitter.com/CBSSportsGolazo/status/1785757564749135901" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">low-driven effort</a> beat Donnarumma, and Füllkrug sent the Signal Iduna Park into an uproar.</p>
2544.  
2545.  
2546.  
2547. <p>In truth, Borussia Dortmund should have had a two-goal lead going into the break. A well-worked play on a cross from Karim Adeyemi allowed Füllkrug to set up a first-time volley from Sabitzer. Just 10 yards from goal, Sabitzer struck the ball sweetly, but Donnarumma got down fast and strong enough to parry the ball away. That preserved the one-goal deficit for PSG, perhaps keeping it in the game.</p>
2548.  
2549.  
2550.  
2551. <h2>Both Dortmund and PSG leave chances begging in Champions League semis</h2>
2552.  
2553.  
2554.  
2555. <p>Donnarumma’s saves in the first half may have inspired PSG to play more aggressively in the second half. PSG opened the second 45 minutes with a flurry of chances. The <a href="https://twitter.com/CBSSportsGolazo/status/1785766098664644892" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">best of those</a> came in the 51st minute. The silky moves of Kylian Mbappe yielded a curling effort inside the area. Having beaten Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel, the ball slammed off the inside of the post and dribbled along the goal line. Mbappe picked it back up, and a hectic play in the box eventually squirmed the ball to Achraf Hakimi. The Moroccan tried to pass the ball into the corner, but he hit the inside of the left post, and once again the ball slid across the face of goal.</p>

2560.  
2561.  
2562.  
2563. <p>With PSG gaining more confidence that it could force an equalizer, Dortmund nearly doubled its advantage. At the hour mark, a sensational run from Jadon Sancho down the right side of Dortmund’s attack put PSG under pressure. The English winger <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/a-tale-of-redemption-jadon-sanchos-loan-return-to-dortmund-20240111-WST-482671.html">on loan from Manchester United</a> squared the ball to Füllkrug. The ball came in ever so slightly off the ground with pace. Consequently, the German skewed his shot over the gaping net, keeping the game in a one-goal difference. </p>
2564.  
2565.  
2566.  
2567. <p>Both sides had strong chances throughout the second half. On one occasion, Ousmane Dembele, the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/psg-turns-champions-league-tie-around-to-best-10-man-barca/">hero against Barcelona</a>, blasted a ball away in a glorious chance for PSG. Just before then, Sancho slipped a pass in behind the PSG defense to Julian Brandt. However, a sliding challenge from Marquinhos deflected the ball away.</p>
2568.  
2569.  
2570.  
2571. <p>PSG failed to equalize, and Borussia Dortmund emerged victorious in the first leg. As a result, a draw will be good enough for the German side to advance to the Champions League Final for the first time in 11 years. However, PSG overturned a one-goal deficit in the quarterfinals against Barcelona. With several missed chances in this first leg, Luis Enrique should feel like his side has the potential to do it in the semifinals.

2590. <p>Those who have not subscribed to MLS Season Pass for the 2024 season can take advantage of a major discount. Starting Wednesday, May 1, the seasonal option for <a href="https://tv.apple.com/channel/tvs.sbd.7000?itsct=wst_mls&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=1010l35s4" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">MLS Season Pass drops to $69</a>. </p>
2591.  
2592.  
2593.  
2594. <p>Even though most teams have already played around 11 games in the current MLS season, much of the best action is still available. Therefore, the price dipping by $30 for the seasonal option is still a great offer. If you subscribe to Apple TV+, the <a href="https://tv.apple.com/channel/tvs.sbd.7000?itsct=wst_mls&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=1010l35s4" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">annual option is now $59</a>. That is only $20 less than the traditional $79 that Apple TV+ subscribers can pay for. Regardless, the savings are clear. </p>
2595.  
2596.  
2597.  
2598. <p>There are no changes to the monthly plan. For all users, that is still $14.99 per month. Apple TV+ subscribers can pay $12.99 per month to watch MLS Season Pass. However, there are still over seven months left in the season. The annual plan for MLS Season Pass, even before this May discount, represents major savings at this point in the season. </p>

2627. <p>The savings available through this temporary price cut provide fans with a great way to see some of MLS’s stars. Lionel Messi, Hany Mukhtar, Thiago Almada and Luciano Acosta have shown the talent that spreads throughout Major League Soccer. In fairness, much of the draw for MLS is Messi and Inter Miami. Apple and MLS have reported sizeable growth since Messi joined the fray. Plus, he continues to set record crowds at away games in MLS.</p>
2628.  
2629.  
2630.  
2631. <p>If you are not physically attending one of those games, every game Lionel Messi plays in for the rest of this season is available on MLS Season Pass. Furthermore, every game in Major League Soccer and the MLS Cup Playoffs is available on MLS Season Pass. Messi did not feature in the MLS Cup Playoffs last season because Inter Miami failed to qualify. That did not stop a great postseason. Despite a somewhat convoluted playoff structure, the Columbus Crew emerged as the MLS Cup Champions in an enjoyable month of competition.</p>
2632.  
2633.  
2634.  
2635. <p>You can also be sure that the Leagues Cup, the tournament involving every team in Liga MX and MLS will provide drama. That was the competition where Messi announced himself last season. With Liga MX clubs also bringing in sizeable audiences, the Leagues Cup has the potential to be a great competition for North America. Each game is available in English and Spanish on MLS Season Pass. <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tv/mls-season-pass-has-silenced-a-lot-of-dissenting-voices-20240220-WST-490681.html">That is all available</a> for a discount on MLS Season Pass by <a href="https://tv.apple.com/channel/tvs.sbd.7000?itsct=wst_mls&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=1010l35s4&amp;ct=rvo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">subscribing to the annual option now</a>. </p>

2671. <p>Bayern Munich will now have to go to plan D after Ralf Rangnick rejected a chance to join the club. The German giants have been on the search for a new manager ever since they <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/bayern-bizarrely-allows-tuchel-to-stay-with-club-for-season-20240221-WST-490840.html">announced</a> in February that Thomas Tuchel would leave at the end of the current campaign. Xabi Alonso and Julian Nagelsmann were both offered the job. Yet, the duo, like Rangnick, opted to resist joining the Bavarian side.</p>
2672.  
2673.  
2674.  
2675. <p>Rangnick will now remain with the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/nations/austria-national-team-tv-schedule/">Austrian</a> national team and lead the squad into the 2024 Euros in Germany. “I am the Austrian team boss with all my heart,” the coach <a href="https://www.oefb.at/oefb/News/Ralf-Rangnick-bleibt-Teamchef-des-Nationalteams-" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">stated</a> on Tuesday. “I really enjoy this task and am determined to successfully continue on our chosen path.” </p>
2676.  
2677.  
2678.  
2679. <p>Austria is playing a difficult group at Euro 2024 with France, the Netherlands and Poland. </p>
2680.  
2681.  
2682.  
2683. <p>“I would like to expressly emphasize that this is not a rejection of <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/bayern-munich-tv-schedule/">Bayern</a>, but rather a decision for my team and our common goals. Our full concentration is on the European Championships. We will do everything we can to get as far as possible!”</p>
2684.  
2685.  
2686.  
2687. <p>While Rangnick claims that he has not “rejected” Bayern, it certainly seems to be the case. Club brass wanted the coach to join the team, but Rangnick <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/bayern-changes-course-on-future-strategy-with-rangnick-links/">reportedly</a> wanted certain conditions to be met. This involved having a significant say in the team’s transfers. Bayern executives, however, reportedly take nearly full control of such business. As a result, Rangnick will remain in his current role with Austria.</p>
2688.  
2689.  
2690.  
2691. <h2>Rangnick rejects Bayern, Tuchel U-turn unlikely</h2>
2692.  
2693.  
2694.  
2695. <p>Rangnick’s decision throws yet another curveball to Bayern. Nevertheless, the club’s fan base will be relatively happy with the news. Fans of the club recently created a petition for Tuchel to remain in his current role. The <a href="https://www.change.org/p/wir-wollen-juppel-thomas-tuchel-und-keinen-rangnick" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">protest</a>, called “We want Juppel (Thomas Tuchel) and not Rangnick” has over 18,700 signatures at the moment.</p>

2700.  
2701.  
2702.  
2703. <p>While a large chunk of the fanbase wants to keep hold of Tuchel, a potential U-turn seems fairly unlikely. <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/barcelona-tv-schedule/">Barcelona</a> also recently revealed that head coach Xavi would be departing the Spanish side at the end of the season. However, the manager has since reversed his position and will now remain with Barca for the 2024/25 campaign.</p>
2704.  
2705.  
2706.  
2707. <p>The Tuchel situation is a bit different though. Unlike Barca and Xavi, Bayern brass has publicly criticized their coach in recent weeks. Honorary Bayern president Uli Hoeness <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/bayern-icon-hoeness-reinforces-criticism-of-thomas-tuchel/">recently lambasted</a> the team’s coach for his apparent inability to develop players. The executive also claimed that Tuchel does not create a positive environment for the young players in the squad. It is safe to say that Tuchel did not appreciate the remarks.</p>
2708.

2712.  
2713.  
2714.  
2715. <p>With Alonso, Nagelsmann, and now Rangnick all off of the board, Bayern will have to move on in their search for a new coach. <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/brighton-tv-schedule-where-to-watch-the-seagulls/">Brighton</a>‘s Roberto De Zerbi has been linked with a potential move to the German side practically ever since February. Although the Italian is capable, Bayern brass overlooked making an official move for him. </p>
2716.  
2717.  
2718.  
2719. <p>The snub could very well be down to Brighton’s drop in form over the last few months. The Seagulls have only managed to win two Premier League games since early February. </p>
2720.  
2721.  
2722.  
2723. <p>Along with De Zerbi, Bayern could turn their attention to <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/stuttgart-tv-schedule-for-us-viewers/">Stuttgart</a> head coach Sebastian Hoeness. The former midfielder has done an exceptional job with the fellow <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/bundesliga-tv-schedule/">Bundesliga</a> club and is the nephew of the aforementioned Bayern executive. Nevertheless, the coach recently extended his contract with Stuttgart in March. Hoeness fielded questions about the Bayern job on Thursday but <a href="https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1786022808205554132" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">claimed</a> that “nothing has changed” on his end.</p>

2742. <p>Angel Di Maria, the World Cup-winning Argentina teammate of Lionel Messi, is in the process of joining his compatriot at Inter Miami. The winger is currently playing for Portuguese side Benfica. His contract with Benfica expires at the end of the 2023/24 season, allowing him to be free to join any club he desires. Now, the leading candidate to bring on Di Maria is the Major League Soccer club that continues to make headlines.</p>
2743.  
2744.  
2745.  
2746. <p>According to <a href="https://twitter.com/SC_ESPN/status/1786054264957116488" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Leo Paradizo of <em>ESPN Argentina</em></a>, Di Maria and Inter Miami are already starting discussions about joining the MLS club in July. Details regarding how long Di Maria would stay at Inter Miami and how much he would make are still far from finalized. Regardless, the fact that the winger and club are in talks shows Miami’s intent to bring another international star to the team.</p>
2747.  
2748.  
2749.  
2750. <p>Inter Miami, and Major League Soccer as a whole, have benefited mightily from having Lionel Messi and his teammates join the league. Subscriptions to MLS Season Pass skyrocketed upon his arrival last summer. In the current season, Inter Miami’s road games have drawn major crowds. In Kansas City, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/messi-to-smash-records-with-70000-expected-in-kansas-city/">over 72,000 fans showed up</a> at Arrowhead Stadium to watch Inter Miami defeat Sporting Kansas City. Most recently, Inter Miami had a game at Gillette Stadium against the New England Revolution. <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/record-setting-gillette-stadium-watches-messi-and-miami-shine/">Over 65,000 fans attended</a> to set a soccer record for the stadium. Most of those fans want to see the all-star team Inter Miami has assembled.</p>
2751.  
2752.  
2753.  
2754. <p>If Di Maria makes the MLS switch to Inter Miami, he will not just link up with Messi. Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba also play for Inter Miami. While Di Maria has never donned the same jersey as those three, he has certainly shared the pitch with them.</p>
2755.  
2756.  
2757.  
2758. <h2>Inter Miami must make room for Di Maria</h2>
2759.  
2760.  
2761.  
2762. <p>Inter Miami will have to work around the salary cap MLS has imposed if it is to sign Di Maria as a free agent. MLS sides are allowed three designated players. Club owners can pay these stars any amount they want, and it only counts against the salary cap by a certain amount. However, Inter Miami has already used each of its Designated Player spots. Lionel Messi occupies one, and the other two go to Sergio Busquets and Leonardo Campana.</p>
2763.

2767.  
2768.  
2769.  
2770. <p>On one hand, Inter Miami could deal with the contract of Leonardo Campana to open a Designated Player spot. That would ensure Inter Miami’s owners can pay Di Maria whatever the Argentine desires. The other plan would be for Di Maria to take on a team-friendly contract. Take Jordi Alba or Luis Suarez as examples. They are not on Designated Player contracts. While they do make more than most other MLS players, it is a stark contrast from what they made in their European heydays. </p>
2771.  
2772.  
2773.  
2774. <h2>Gauging success if Inter Miami gets another international star</h2>
2775.  
2776.  
2777.  
2778. <p>Angel Di Maria certainly makes Inter Miami better. However, his position in the squad is interesting. Di Maria generally plays out of the right side, the same as Lionel Messi. Yet, with the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner unlikely to relinquish that spot, Inter Miami head coach Tata Martino could swap Di Maria out to the left side. In the 2022 World Cup Final for Argentina, Messi started on the right, while Di Maria occupied the left. Therefore, it would not be an unfamiliar spot for the current Benfica winger. </p>
2779.  
2780.  
2781.  
2782. <p>Inter Miami currently leads the Eastern Conference of Major League Soccer. Even though he would not join the side until the commencement of the Leagues Cup, adding Di Maria would only reinforce Miami’s spot as the favorite to win the MLS Cup in 2024. Plus, with the development of Inter Miami’s new stadium at Miami Freedom Park, having as many stars as possible on hand can make that new venue even more noteworthy.</p>

2801. <p>With Wednesday’s 1-1 draw against Bari, Serie B leaders Parma officially sealed their promotion to Serie A with two games to go.</p>
2802.  
2803.  
2804.  
2805. <p>After 36 league matches, the Crociati have 74 points, good enough for first place in Italy’s second level. Assuming nothing else changes this weekend, a victory against Cremonese would mathematically cement their <a href="https://twitter.com/ParmaCalcio_en/status/1785729086402216297" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">position as Serie B champions</a>.</p>
2806.  
2807.  
2808.  
2809. <p>After failing to make the promotion playoffs last season, Fabio Pecchia’s squad has been able to recover and return to form. On aggregate, they lost to Claudio Ranieri’s Cagliari in the play-off semi-finals, 3-2.</p>
2810.  
2811.  
2812.  
2813. <p>This season, Parma has only suffered four league defeats, with a record of 21 victories and eleven draws. A single win in their last three games would have sent the Crocati back to the Italian first division. They have not played there since the 2020-21 season.</p>
2814.  
2815.  
2816.  
2817. <p>Having played two games less than their third-place rivals, Venezia, Parma now sits atop the league. With three points separating them from first place, second-place <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/2022/08/29/henry-begins-new-chapter-as-shareholder-of-ambitious-como/">Como</a> will likely also play in the top division.</p>
2818.  
2819.  
2820.  
2821. <p>With 24 goals between them in all competitions this season, Parma’s wingers Dennis Man and Adrian Benedyczak have been unstoppable. One has 13 goals, whereas the other has 11. Two crucial matches remain this season; on Sunday, they will face Cremonese, and on Friday, they will play away at Reggiana.</p>
2822.  
2823.

2825. <h2>US owner aims to revive glorious past</h2>
2826.  
2827.  
2828.  
2829. <p>Only Salernitana, the team now ranked worst in <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/serie-a-tv-schedule/">Serie A</a>, has been officially demoted to Serie B. Meanwhile, Parma may be without an Italian league championship, but they have won the Italian Cup three times.</p>
2830.  
2831.  
2832.  
2833. <p>They took home the trophy in 1993 for Europe’s Cup Winners’ Cup and two UEFA Cups in 1995 and 1999. The club’s storied past was a factor in Kyle Krause, founder of the Krause Group, acquiring a 90% share in the team in September 2020.</p>

2839.  
2840.  
2841. <p>In fact, the Gialloblu have a glittering past filled with championships and legendary players. Some notable players who donned the shirt include Gianluigi Buffon, Juan Sebastian Veron, Fabio Cannavaro, Lilian Thuram, Hernán Crespo, and Gianfranco Zola.</p>
2842.  
2843.  
2844.  
2845. <p>At 44 or 45 years old, Buffon was back in the lineup until last year. After the bankruptcy in 2015, a new project began to take form in 2020, and it served as a connection between the occasionally magnificent past and the project.</p>
2846.  
2847.  
2848.  
2849. <p>Despite being in the midst of his fifth decade, Buffon stayed there <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/buffon-declares-retirement-from-soccer-20230802-WST-447084.html">again from 2021 until last year</a>. He bridged the gap between the illustrious past and the new endeavor that has been in the works since 2020, after the 2015 bankruptcy.</p>
2850.  
2851.  
2852.  
2853. <h2>Why did Krause pick Parma?</h2>
2854.  
2855.  
2856.  
2857. <p>“It all started with a bit of investigation into Italian soccer and evolved into this fantastic opportunity. Some of the research was initiated because of work I was doing related to Pro Iowa. I was exploring clubs and ownership structures, trying to better understand opportunities and the process. But networking in Italy for Pro Iowa knowledge led to me developing more intentional interest in purchasing a club in Italy.</p>
2858.  
2859.  
2860.  
2861. <p>“When I discovered Parma Calcio was for sale, I knew it was the right choice. The club has an incredible brand and history and celebrated its 110-year anniversary in December. Parma Calcio is the fourth most successful Italian team in UEFA competitions having won four national trophies and four international trophies. In addition, Parma is a beautiful city with rich history, cuisine, culture, and soccer.</p>

2890. <p>The extra <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/champions-league-tv-schedule/">Champions League</a> spot for the 2024/25 season has officially been awarded to Germany’s <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/bundesliga-tv-schedule/">Bundesliga</a>. Due to upcoming changes in the competition, two additional teams will take part in the tournament. Italy’s Serie A previously locked up one of these spots due to various European successes inside the country. However, the final place was essentially a <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/italy-earns-extra-ucl-spot-what-england-needs-to-top-germany/">ping-pong match</a> between the Bundesliga and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/premier-league-tv-schedule/">Premier League</a>.</p>
2891.  
2892.  
2893.  
2894. <p>Nevertheless, Germany finally secured the extra place following <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/borussia-dortmund-tv-schedule/">Borussia Dortmund</a>‘s 1-0 victory against <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/psg-tv-schedule/">Paris Saint-Germain</a> on Wednesday. The two teams are locked in a Champions League semifinal battle, with the return leg set for May 7th. The eventual winner of the tie will then face either <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/bayern-munich-tv-schedule/">Bayern Munich</a> or <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/real-madrid-tv-schedule/">Real Madrid</a> for the trophy.</p>

2898. <h2>Extra Champions League spot directly affects Dortmund</h2>
2899.  
2900.  
2901.  
2902. <p>Dortmund’s victory not only helped their Champions League chances this season, but they also now have a significant safety net. BVB currently sits fifth in the Bundesliga table, five points behind <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/rb-leipzig-tv-schedule-for-viewers-in-united-states/">RB Leipzig</a>. As the top four German clubs typically qualify for the elite European competition, the fifth-placed team this season will join the quartet in the 2024/25 Champions League.</p>
2903.  
2904.  
2905.  
2906. <p>Edin Terzic, Dortmund’s manager, told reporters after the massive win on Wednesday that grabbing a place in next season’s Champions League was a minimum precondition heading into the current campaign.</p>
2907.  
2908.  
2909.  
2910. <p>“We wanted to qualify for the Champions League through the Bundesliga and not this way,” <a href="https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/40062157/bundesliga-secures-extra-place-champions-league" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">stated</a> Terzic. “But the fact that it will be enough to qualify as fifth is also partly down to our success, our contribution.”</p>
2911.  
2912.  
2913.  
2914. <p>“Our minimum goal was to qualify for the Champions League. Now it [added spot] does not improve our Bundesliga season, but it does offer a softer landing.”</p>

The Eagles have a five-point lead over <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/freiburg-tv-schedule-for-us-viewers/">Freiburg</a> in the standings at the moment. Nevertheless, Germany would also lose one of their <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/europa-league-tv-schedule/">Europa League</a> spots if this particular sequence of events pans out.</p>
2931.  
2932.  
2933.  
2934. <p>The scenario is, however, not exactly set in stone. Despite the slim advantage against PSG, Dortmund does not have a high chance to win the Champions League this season. They currently have the lowest odds of any of the four clubs remaining in the competition. Even if they get by the Parisians, a tough matchup against either rivals Bayern or mighty Real remains.</p>
2935.  
2936.  
2937.  
2938. <p>Dortmund’s recent win now affects how <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/aston-villa-tv-schedule/">Aston Villa</a> and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/tottenham-tv-schedule/">Tottenham Hotspur</a> will tackle the end of their domestic campaigns. The English duo previously thought that they just had to finish in the top five of the Premier League to nab a Champions League place. This is now obviously not the case. Villa currently holds a seven-point advantage over Spurs, but the north London outfit has two games in hand compared to the West Midlands side.</p>

2957. <p>West Ham is set to sign Julen Lopetegui as its next head coach. Veteran Scottish manager David Moyes has been at the helm of the Hammers ever since late 2019. His arrival at the time was his second stint with the club after he previously took over during the 2017/18 season.</p>
2958.  
2959.  
2960.  
2961. <p>Moyes was previously under fire last season as the east London side slipped in the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/premier-league-tv-schedule/">Premier League</a> standings. The Hammers dropped down to 14th in the table in 2022/23, a year after finishing seventh. Nevertheless, the coach essentially saved his job by winning the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/conference-league-tv-schedule/">Europa Conference League</a> last summer. The triumph was certainly unique as the club became the lowest-placed team in their domestic table to win a European trophy.</p>
2962.  
2963.  
2964.  
2965. <p>There have been various suggestions that <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/west-ham-tv-schedule/">West Ham</a> recently offered their current coach a new contract. Despite feeling the heat from the fans, Moyes then <a href="https://theathletic.com/5449645/2024/04/26/david-moyes-decision/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">claimed</a> that any decision on his future would not come until the end of the season. The writing, however, is now on the wall and Scot is likely to depart London in the coming weeks.</p>
2966.

2969. <h2>Hammers turned to Spaniard after Amorim negotiations fell through</h2>
2970.  
2971.  
2972.  
2973. <p>According to a report by <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/article/2024/may/03/west-ham-close-to-deal-julen-lopetegui-manager-david-moyes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>The Guardian</em></a>, Hammers brass is advancing in talks with Lopetegui. While the details still need to be ironed out, an agreement between the two sides seems to be within reach. Even though Moyes is not yet out the door, the club is certainly actively looking for his successor. It was previously reported that <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/sporting-cp-tv-schedule-for-united-states-viewers/">Sporting CP</a>‘s Ruben Amorim was negotiating a deal to join West Ham.</p>

2978.  
2979.  
2980.  
2981. <p>Amorim is widely seen as one of the top young coaches in all of Europe. The Portuguese manager was previously linked with fellow English side Liverpool. Nevertheless, West Ham, or any other team, would have to pay Sporting a supposed fee of around $16 million to sign the coach. This price tag was too much for the Hammers to even consider paying.</p>
2982.  
2983.  
2984.  
2985. <p>Unlike Amorim, Lopetegui is currently without a job, thus making him a free agent. The Spanish manager most recently took over at <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/wolves-tv-schedule-for-us-viewers/">Wolves</a> during the 2022/23 campaign. He also previously coached at successful European clubs such as Real Madrid, Sevilla, and Porto. Before joining Los Blancos, the Spaniard had an unbeaten run of 20 games with the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/nations/spain-national-team-tv-schedule/">Spain</a> national team.</p>

2989. <h2>Lopetegui worked wonders last season at Wolves</h2>
2990.  
2991.  
2992.  
2993. <p>Lopetegui may not be the most popular pick for Hammers fans. Yet, his recent work at Wolves cannot go unappreciated. The manager entered the fray at the West Midlands side with the club sitting bottom of the Premier League standings. However, Lopetegui made an instant impact with his new squad. With the Spaniard at the helm, Wolves not only avoided relegation. They climbed up to 13th in the table.</p>
2994.  
2995.  
2996.  
2997. <p>Lopetegui’s departure from the English club was not down to his failures as their coach. Instead, the manager opted to leave the team due to their precarious financial situation. Lopetegui wanted to improve the squad by spending in the summer transfer window. The club, however, sold several key players. This list included stars such as Ruben Neves, Matheus Nunes, and Nathan Collins.</p>
2998.  
2999.  
3000.  
3001. <p>West Ham currently finds themselves ninth in the English top-flight table at the moment. The Hammers will have to make a late push to grab a European place next season, something that Lopetegui will surely be hoping for.</p>

3020. <p>MLS has broken several attendance records this season. As a result of “<a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/is-the-messi-effect-over-inter-miami-fans-irate-about-high-prices-20231114-WST-469841.html">The Messi Effect</a>,” Sporting Kansas City and the New England Revolution set single-game attendance records. In Kansas City’s case, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/messi-to-smash-records-with-70000-expected-in-kansas-city/">over 72,000 fans</a> watched Inter Miami play Sporting KC at Arrowhead Stadium. Not long after, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/record-setting-gillette-stadium-watches-messi-and-miami-shine/">65,612 people went to Gillette Stadium</a> when Inter Miami defeated the New England Revolution. Those single-game statistics show the popularity of Lionel Messi and his star-studded Inter Miami lineup. </p>
3021.  
3022.  
3023.  
3024. <p>But how does the average attendance in MLS stack up against Europe’s top leagues?</p>
3025.  
3026.  
3027.  
3028. <p>When compared to attendance in the 2023/24 campaign from the top leagues in Europe, MLS fails to compare. The Bundesliga, Premier League, Serie A, LaLiga, and Ligue 1 all average higher attendances than <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/mls-tv-schedule/">Major League Soccer</a>. On average, MLS pulls in 23,459 people per game. Even the 2. Bundesliga, the second tier in Germany, averages more fans per game. That division pulls 29,124 fans on average. </p>
3029.  
3030.  
3031.  
3032. <p>When listing some of the top divisions in terms of global popularity, Major League Soccer does average a higher attendance than the English Championship. The second tier in England, which features 24 teams, is arguably the most popular second division in the world. That shows strong attendance figures, so MLS beating out that division is noteworthy.</p>
3033.  
3034.  
3035.  
3036. <h2>Comparing MLS attendance to European figures</h2>
3037.  
3038.  
3039.  
3040. <ol><li>Bundesliga —&nbsp;39,366</li><li>English Premier League —&nbsp;38,489</li><li>Serie A —&nbsp;30,857</li><li>LaLiga —&nbsp;29,151</li><li>2. Bundesliga —&nbsp;29,124</li><li>Ligue 1 —&nbsp;26,629</li><li>Major League Soccer —&nbsp;23,459</li><li>EFL Championship —&nbsp;22,860</li></ol>
3041.  
3042.  
3043.  
3044. <p>Granted, this list does not include every league worldwide with greater attendance figures than Major League Soccer. Rather, it focuses on Europe, where there is an ingrained history of soccer within the culture. Even though MLS is over 10,000 people behind compared to the Bundesliga and Premier League, certain factors play a role.</p>
3045.  
3046.  
3047.  
3048. <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="670" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.worldsoccertalk.com/webp/full/WST_20240504_WST_504800_Columbus-Crew-fans-1200x670_d4eb3b56.webp&amp;width=1200&amp;height=670" alt="" class="wp-image-504818" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Columbus-Crew-fans-1200x670.jpg 1200w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Columbus-Crew-fans-300x168.jpg 300w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Columbus-Crew-fans-768x429.jpg 768w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Columbus-Crew-fans.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure></figure>
3049.  
3050.  
3051.  
3052. <p>One of those is the size of stadiums used by the leagues. The average stadium capacity in Major League Soccer is 24,341. By comparison, the average in the Premier League is 39,288. Both MLS and the Premier League come up narrowly short of reaching full capacity at their games in the current campaign.</p>
3053.  
3054.  
3055.  
3056. <p>Therefore, MLS can take several things away from its ‘lower’ attendance figures. One of those is the growth potential. MLS has fans who want to go to games. Particularly when you look at some of the younger franchises like Nashville SC or Atlanta United, audiences are not hard to come by. The challenge for MLS is trying to maintain this demand. If the league uses the argument of star power through players like Lionel Messi, the league must constantly re-up on these massive signings. Granted, no one player will compare to Lionel Messi in terms of popularity. </p>
3057.  
3058.  
3059.  
3060. <p>MLS can also flirt with the idea of bigger stadiums. The soccer-specific grounds at GEODIS Park, Lower.com Field, TQL Stadium, and Q2 Stadium feature some of the best atmospheres. With the future <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/inter-miamis-new-home-close-look-at-construction-progress/">Miami Freedom Park</a> being built adding to the 25,000-seat venues in Major League Soccer, San Diego FC’s upcoming use of the 34,000-seat Snapdragon Stadium could be an example of further growth.</p>

3079. <p>Knowing how well Spain did at Euro 2020, you can see why Pedri has been among the best Barcelona midfielders. He moved from Las Palmas to <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/barcelona-tv-schedule">Barcelona</a> in 2020 and has been a big part of the recent Catalans’ revival.</p>
3080.  
3081.  
3082.  
3083. <p>But, in a way, he messed up his future by playing in two events in the same summer in 2020. He stared for <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/nations/spain-national-team-tv-schedule/">Spain</a> in the Euros, where he was named the tournament’s best young player. What’s more, he also played for La Rioja in the Olympics the same year. The then-18-year-old helped them win silver as they lost to Brazil in the final.</p>
3084.  
3085.  
3086.  
3087. <p>Because of this, the 21-year-old hasn’t played in more than half of the Blaugrana’s games since then. He was once thought to be “untouchable,” but a recent string of injuries has supposedly made it possible for him to leave.</p>
3088.  
3089.  
3090.  
3091. <h2>Barcelona getting tired</h2>
3092.  
3093.  
3094.  
3095. <p>As has been said, there aren’t many Barcelona players who won’t be available this summer if the right offer comes along. Pedri hasn’t been talked about as a possible sale very often. They would listen to offers for the 21-year-old, according to <a href="https://twitter.com/RadioMARCA/status/1785798099937751376" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">RadioMarca</a>.</p>
3096.  
3097.  
3098.  
3099. <p>Pedri is available for sale if someone is willing to pay the asking price. Barcelona needs sales to <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/barcelona-to-use-key-player-as-financial-lever-this-summer/">circumvent the Financial Fair Play restrictions</a>. With a price tag of $107.5 million, the Spain international has European interest, <a href="https://cronicaglobal.elespanol.com/culemania/primer-equipo/20230616/el-barca-rechaza-una-oferta-millones-pedri/771922873_0.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">El Espanol</a> adds. It wasn’t that long ago when he attracted the attention of two of England’s best clubs, Liverpool and Arsenal.</p>
3100.  
3101.  
3102.  
3103. <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="670" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.worldsoccertalk.com/webp/full/WST_20240504_WST_504954_Pedri-Barcelona-1200x670_64d9f081.webp&amp;width=1200&amp;height=670" alt="" class="wp-image-505025" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Pedri-Barcelona-1200x670.jpg 1200w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Pedri-Barcelona-300x168.jpg 300w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Pedri-Barcelona-768x429.jpg 768w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Pedri-Barcelona.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure></figure>
3104.  
3105.  
3106.  
3107. <p>Allegedly, the Blaugrana staff are unhappy with how his growth is going. This means that his personal life is not good for his sports career. His brother, with whom he lives, has strongly denied this on social media. Another thing they say is that the club is worried about his deal in general. There have been problems with their finances, which is why the talks with the youngster have been put on hold.</p>
3108.  
3109.  
3110.  
3111. <p>But his success will depend on many things, but his health will be the most important among them. It looks like Barcelona as a club can’t get him fit, and as we’ve seen in other cases, they don’t have as good of a track record with injuries that keep coming back.</p>
3112.  
3113.  
3114.  
3115. <p>In the same way, his ongoing health problems make it hard for him to make much progress and will also affect how much they can offer for Pedri. Pedri’s career may take a big turn next season, and it will also show if he can stay fit.</p>
3116.  
3117.  
3118.  
3119. <h2>Injury after injury makes Barcelona question Pedri</h2>
3120.  
3121.  
3122.  
3123. <p>He played in 53 games in his first season with Barcelona, with little rest, under Ronald Koeman’s tutelage. Even more so than before, Luis Enrique had Pedri start for Spain in all but one minute of their 2020 European Championship campaign. The season came to a close with Pedri having played more than four thousand minutes across all competitions in seventy-three games.</p>
3124.  
3125.  
3126.  
3127. <p>The rising star’s injury nightmare began in September of 2021 with a hamstring strain. Pedri returned to the field after sitting out three games. But this time the damage was far worse, and it occurred in the same spot.</p>
3128.  
3129.  
3130.  
3131. <p>Following a three-week absence, Pedri was sidelined for the remainder of the 2022 season due to yet another severe muscle strain. Things went south again once he returned in August 2022, when he teamed up with Frenkie De Jong and Gavi to create a lethal combo.</p>
3132.  
3133.  
3134.  
3135. <p>He was sidelined for the remainder of 2023 after suffering several hamstring tears in games and practices. After his return in 2024, Pedri started to discover spaces that he could transform with his enchanted touches. But the shadows reappeared, and he was carted off the field in a Bilbao match with a limp.</p>

3677. <p>An era came to a close in 2022 when Riqui Puig departed Barcelona. Puig brought his infectious spirit to Major League Soccer and the warm beaches of Los Angeles with him when he signed with the Galaxy.</p>
3678.  
3679.  
3680.  
3681. <p>In 2023, the Los Angeles Galaxy had a terrible season. Everyone was watching as the most legendary team in <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/where-to-watch-mls-on-us-tv-and-internet/">MLS</a> reached rock bottom. They started the season with a losing record (2–14) and missed the playoffs for the sixth year in a row.</p>
3682.  
3683.  
3684.  
3685. <p>The performance of midfielder <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/riqui-puig-among-investors-in-new-soccer-esports-game-20230420-WST-429320.html">Riqui Puig</a> stood out, however. Even though he missed some time due to an ankle injury, the Spaniard was the team’s most important player. He scored seven goals, leading the squad in scoring.</p>
3686.  
3687.  
3688.  
3689. <p>Now when we’re in the present, Puig isn’t your average Major League Soccer player; he’s a superstar in his own way. The former <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/barcelona-tv-schedule/">Barcelona</a> sensation is now the center of attention in Los Angeles, and his impressive form has carried over into the year 2024.</p>
3690.  
3691.  
3692.  
3693. <p>He has helped propel the Galaxy to the top of the Western Conference with seven goal contributions after nine games. He is already among the favorites to win MLS MVP.</p>
3694.  
3695.  
3696.  
3697. <h2>How has Puig fared for LA Galaxy so far?</h2>
3698.  
3699.  
3700.  
3701. <p>Riqui Puig was also named to Live Sports on TV’s Major League Soccer ideal squad. When it comes to the league’s top players, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/amp/news/messis-young-teammate-eyes-europe-move-after-miami-stardom/">Lionel Messi</a> and his ex-Barcelona teammate are neck and neck.</p>
3702.  
3703.  
3704.  
3705. <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="670" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.worldsoccertalk.com/webp/full/WST_20240503_WST_504982_Puig-LA-Galaxy-1200x670_77a7ca13.webp&amp;width=1200&amp;height=670" alt="" class="wp-image-505014" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Puig-LA-Galaxy-1200x670.jpg 1200w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Puig-LA-Galaxy-300x168.jpg 300w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Puig-LA-Galaxy-768x429.jpg 768w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Puig-LA-Galaxy.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure></figure>
3706.  
3707.  
3708.  
3709. <p>However, the 24-year-old’s statistics are very remarkable. Not having a championship under his belt doesn’t diminish his talent at all. Puig has been a mainstay for the Galaxy, appearing in 56 games and contributing significantly with 15 goals and eight assists.</p>
3710.  
3711.  
3712.  
3713. <p>This has resulted in a stunning increase in Puig’s worth to $12.7 million, as per <a href="https://www.transfermarkt.com/riqui-puig/profil/spieler/331511">Transfermarkt</a>. Rumor has it that his old side is watching the situation closely.</p>
3714.  
3715.  
3716.  
3717. <h2>Bargain return for Riqui Puig to Barcelona?</h2>
3718.  
3719.  
3720.  
3721. <p>Last year there were already rumors of Riqui Puig’s possible return to Camp Nou, although a transfer did not materialize in the end. His current contract ends on December 31, 2025, so there is not much room for maneuvering for the MLS side if they want to cash in on him.</p>
3722.  
3723.  
3724.  
3725. <p>Barcelona were astute enough to include a provision that would provide them with a portion of any future sales of Puig. So, the Spaniards will be taking home a tidy sum—$7 million to be exact—the day he chooses to depart Los Angeles.</p>
3726.  
3727.  
3728.  
3729. <p>This scenario keeps the Catalans attentive, <a href="https://cronicaglobal.elespanol.com/culemania/culemaniacos/20240501/el-barca-frota-de-mercado-riqui-puig/851914852_0.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Culemania</a> reports. He played on the senior squad with Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba after rising through the ranks of Barcelona’s renowned La Masia program.</p>
3730.  
3731.  
3732.  
3733. <p>After signing with the club in 2013 when he was thirteen years old, the midfielder waited five years before making his senior debut, at the tender age of eighteen. Throughout his four years there, Puig was able to earn 58 appearances with the first team. </p>
3734.  
3735.  
3736.  
3737. <p>Nevertheless, he was one of the academy graduates given up when the club’s finances took a turn for the worse in the summer of 2022. Thus, the Galaxy signed him for free.</p>

3756. <p>The legendary Gerard Pique was driven to continue playing in his later years only by his devotion to Barcelona. Suddenly retiring in November of last season, the 37-year-old contributed significantly to the club’s financial situation. He passed on a large portion of his remaining contract salary.</p>
3757.  
3758.  
3759.  
3760. <p>After leaving the academy as a youngster to play for Manchester United, the center defender spent 15 years with the Barcelona first team. Following a four-year stint with the Red Devils, he made his comeback in 2008. During that time, he spent one season on loan with Real Zaragoza,</p>
3761.  
3762.  
3763.  
3764. <p>He learned the ropes from Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic. However, the veteran brought home one Premier League and one Champions League trophy during his brief but unimpressive stint.</p>
3765.  
3766.  
3767.  
3768. <p>But it seems like the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/world-cup-tv-schedule/">World Cup</a> winner’s career almost took a very other turn. One in which, instead of playing for them, he would have faced off against the Red Devils.</p>
3769.  
3770.  
3771.  
3772. <h2>Pique on failed Arsenal move</h2>
3773.  
3774.  
3775.  
3776. <p><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/arsenal-tv-schedule/">Arsenal</a> and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/manchester-united-tv-schedule/">Manchester United</a>, both from the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/premier-league-tv-schedule/">Premier League</a>, showed interest in <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/worse-fate-than-rubiales-pique-probed-for-alleged-corruption/">Pique</a> before he signed his first professional contract. Even though they had previously acquired Cesc Fabregas, the Gunners attempted to capture Pique from the Spanish club. United, however, came in to derail the plan.</p>
3777.  
3778.  
3779.  
3780. <p>“The first one was Cesc [Fabregas] the summer before I left to go to Manchester United,” he told <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0hvd7sn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BBC Five Live</a><em>. </em>“Then Arsene [Wenger] came to sign me. At that time Arsenal didn’t want to get into a big fight with Barcelona because they already took Cesc.”</p>

3785.  
3786.  
3787.  
3788. <p>“So, they were trying to arrive to a deal with Barcelona and it took more time than we wanted to so Manchester United arrived and said, ‘Listen, we want you, let’s make a decision right now,’ and I decided to go there.”</p>
3789.  
3790.  
3791.  
3792. <p>“And it’s true that later on I think Arsene also tried to sign Messi – but he didn’t have a chance. So, then the good part of that is all of us went back to Barcelona, we played together again for the first team of Barcelona.”</p>
3793.  
3794.  
3795.  
3796. <h2>Pique on how Barcelona saved his career</h2>
3797.  
3798.  
3799.  
3800. <p>Piqué accomplished tremendous things on the field, both on a global and a national scale during his stellar playing career. He was a rock for <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/barcelona-tv-schedule/">Barcelona</a>‘s defense during their golden age. The defender formed an unbeatable tandem with Carles Puyol and, subsequently, Javier Mascherano.</p>
3801.  
3802.  
3803.  
3804. <p>He was one of the greatest defenders of his time, cemented by his several La Liga, Champions League, and domestic cup victories with the Blaugrana. The question of whether he ever had the opportunity to join Manchester City or Manchester United was posed to him upon his return to Catalonia.</p>
3805.  
3806.  
3807.  
3808. <p>“No, no, not really. There was a moment in my career when I was like 30, where I don’t think I would’ve played for any other team if it wasn’t Barcelona. Because I was not tired, but the career was already long, and for me Barcelona was everything.</p>
3809.  
3810.  
3811.  
3812. <p>“If not, playing for another club, the last four or five years I played because it was Barcelona, I’m not sure I would have found the motivation to keep going. I would have retired,” he added.</p>

3831. <p>Following an 18-point penalty and relegation, Dutch club Vitesse has been pushed to the brink of bankruptcy. This has only forced supporters to pitch in for survival.</p>
3832.  
3833.  
3834.  
3835. <p>This season was the first time in 35 years that <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/vitesse-tv-schedule-for-us-viewers/">Vitesse</a> had been demoted from the top division. The Dutch Football Association <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/dutch-giants-relegated-for-ties-to-ex-chelsea-owner-abramovich/">docked them 18 points</a> for willful and repeated violations of their license terms; and for giving the authorities false information.</p>
3836.  
3837.  
3838.  
3839. <p>Thus, the team is now in a mad dash to save their professional license for next season; especially after deciding not to appeal the suspension. According to <a href="https://www.gelderlander.nl/vitesse/vitesse-en-stadioneigenaar-verwachten-snel-een-deal-te-sluiten-nu-knvb-dreigt-met-intrekken-proflicentie~a20344cb/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dutch news reports</a>, they have until May 17, the next licensing committee meeting, to pay off their $20.3 million in debt.</p>
3840.  
3841.  
3842.  
3843. <p>While the exact sum is not necessary, the club must demonstrate that they have a long-term strategy. If not, a possible dissolution and revocation of the football club’s professional license is imminent.</p>
3844.  
3845.  
3846.  
3847. <p>Within two weeks, the Arnhem club must prove to the KNVB licensing committee that they are financially healthy enough to play next season or beyond. Fail to do so, and they will be deemed bankrupt.</p>
3848.  
3849.  
3850.  
3851. <h2>Many ex-players come to rescue for Vitesse in face of bankruptcy</h2>
3852.  
3853.  
3854.  
3855. <p>As a result, a campaign called “For Yellow-Black” has been started on the club’s website, and it asks fans to provide large amounts of money to ensure the club’s survival.</p>
3856.  
3857.  
3858.  
3859. <p>“Donations are coming in from every nook and cranny,” Vitesse captain Marco van Ginkel told the club’s website. “Of course, we as a group cannot lag behind. That is why we have all decided to make a salary sacrifice to the club. We also hope to make a nice contribution. On to the two million!”</p>

3864.  
3865.  
3866.  
3867. <p>Some of the people who helped out with the crowdfunding effort include Guram Kashia, Wilfried Bony, Roy Makaay, Ronald Koeman, Leo Beenhakker, and Henk ten Cate, among others. The crowdfunding campaign was formally launched by John van den Brom, a former player and the new manager of Vitesse.</p>
3868.  
3869.  
3870.  
3871. <p>His announcement as head coach came just this week, but he already has a message up on the crowdfunding website pleading for supporters to chip in.</p>
3872.  
3873.  
3874.  
3875. <p>“With this, we hope to show everyone and everything in the Netherlands that Vitesse is alive. We also really need the revenue. This is the time to support the club!”, he said.</p>

3879. <h2>How close were Vitesse and Chelsea in their relationship?</h2>

3881.  
3882.  
3883. <p>Also, a number of ex-<a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/chelsea-tv-schedule/">Chelsea</a> players have chipped in to help salvage their struggling old club via the crowdfunding initiative. The Standard reports that Matt Miazga and Lewis Baker, both of whom were members of the Blues Academy, donated monetarily to the initiative.</p>
3884.  
3885.  
3886.  
3887. <p>Because of their penchant for signing Chelsea loanees, the former Eredivisie club gained fame outside of the Netherlands. They were even known as “Chelsea B” at one point because of the large number of Blues players loaned out to the Dutch club. The list even includes luminaries like Armando Broja and Mason Mount.</p>
3888.  
3889.  
3890.  
3891. <p>The two sides had a great working relationship during Roman Abramovich’s ownership of Chelsea. A number of the club’s younger players had productive loan stints. Players such as Baker, Miazga, as well as Dominic Solanke were members of the club.<br><br>On loan from Stamford Bridge, Vitesse received 29 players over a whole decade. Former Real Madrid player Martin Odegaard also played for the Arnhem outfit on a season-long loan in 2018-19.</p>

3910. <p>Could Inter Miami do anything this year that they failed to achieve last? Making the playoffs is the first and foremost objective for every Major League Soccer team before the season begins. Looking at it objectively, it isn’t very challenging. After all, more than half of the league makes it to the next phase.</p>
3911.  
3912.  
3913.  
3914. <p>And then there are the ancillary objectives, such as off-field projects, prizes, and transfers. On the other hand, once the new year begins and every club begins its preseason training, the playoffs become the first objective.</p>
3915.  
3916.  
3917.  
3918. <p>That is where <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/inter-miami-tv-schedule/">Inter Miami</a> was unsuccessful last season. They failed to make the playoffs last year after almost making it in 2022. The Herons were out in the cold with only two games remaining.</p>
3919.  
3920.  
3921.  
3922. <p>There was just no room in the screenplay for Lionel Messi to participate in the celebrations. Nobody could help Inter Miami escape the hole they had dug for themselves; not even the Argentine veteran could. Looking on as Messi attempted to save Miami in the MLS Playoffs would have been an incredible spectacle.</p>
3923.  
3924.  
3925.  
3926. <h2>How has Miami fared so far this season?</h2>
3927.  
3928.  
3929.  
3930. <p>Last season did not live up to expectations, but who knows—2024 may be their breakout year! So, to get into the MLS Cup playoffs, how many more points must Inter Miami accumulate?</p>
3931.  
3932.  
3933.  
3934. <p>What is the minimum number of points required to be eligible for the MLS Cup Playoffs? Will they be able to coast for the remainder of the season to give Lionel Messi and the rest of the team a break before Copa America?</p>
3935.  
3936.  
3937.  
3938. <p>Even before Messi came in, the Herons had already retreated to the bottom of the standings. But they have since shown that they can at least attempt to compete with the greatest in Major League Soccer.</p>
3939.  
3940.  
3941.  
3942. <p>With 11 games under their belts, Tata Martino’s side has a commanding lead in the Eastern Conference. Six victories, three ties, and two losses give them 21 points.</p>
3943.  
3944.  
3945.  
3946. <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="670" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.worldsoccertalk.com/webp/full/WST_20240503_WST_504942_Messi-Miami-points-1200x670_cdf4a8e9.webp&amp;width=1200&amp;height=670" alt="" class="wp-image-504983" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Messi-Miami-points-1200x670.jpg 1200w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Messi-Miami-points-300x168.jpg 300w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Messi-Miami-points-768x429.jpg 768w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Messi-Miami-points.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure></figure>
3947.  
3948.  
3949.  
3950. <p>Not far behind them comes a caravan of rivals, with Cincinnati, in second place, trailing by just three points. Next in line are the New York Red Bulls, Toronto, Columbus Crew, New York City FC, and Philadelphia Union, all of whom are separated by only one point.</p>
3951.  
3952.  
3953.  
3954. <p>But the Miami team has also had its share of challenges this year. For four <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/where-to-watch-mls-on-us-tv-and-internet/">MLS</a> games, they were without their star player, Lionel Messi, and they came out on top only once.</p>

3976.  
3977.  
3978.  
3979. <p>For the rest of the season, they will be crossing their fingers that the 36-year-old stays healthy and gets plenty of rest. Especially considering that the regular season is far from over with 23 games yet to play.</p>
3980.  
3981.  
3982.  
3983. <p>With 23 games to go, they’ll probably need a point per game to advance. The data from the previous season suggests as much. In 2023, Charlotte FC and the New York Red Bulls narrowly clinched the two Wild Card spots in the Eastern Conference with just 43 points each.</p>
3984.  
3985.  
3986.  
3987. <p>The wild-card round currently includes the eighth and ninth-place teams from each conference, according to a change in the tournament structure last season. Following that, the victor will go on to Round One to take on the top-ranked team.</p>
3988.  
3989.  
3990.  
3991. <p>At the same time, Nashville finished the previous season with 49 points, good enough for seventh place and the last Playoff slot. Based on that reasoning, for Miami to finish ninth and earn the Wild Card or seventh and guarantee themselves a berth in the Playoffs, they will need an additional 20-30 points.</p>

4010. <p>The final day of the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/championship-tv-schedule/">English Championship</a> could go down as one of the more memorable in recent history. Only one more team can secure automatic promotion to the Premier League after <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/leicester-city-tv-schedule/">Leicester</a> secured a top-two finish midweek. So, it comes down to either <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/ipswich-town-tv-schedule/">Ipswich Town</a> or <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/leeds-united-tv-schedule/">Leeds United</a> to get promoted to the Premier League.</p>
4011.  
4012.  
4013.  
4014. <p>As things stand entering the final matchday, Ipswich is in second with a three-point lead over Leeds. A 4-0 demolition at the hands of <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/qpr-tv-schedule-view-rangers-games-on-tv/">QPR</a> may have sunk Leeds United’s chances of returning to the Premier League at the first time of trying. There is still a chance for automatic promotion, but Leeds will require help.</p>
4015.  
4016.  
4017.  
4018. <p>The final day of EFL Championship games is on <strong>Saturday, May 4, at 7:30 a.m. ET</strong>. For fans in the United States, three of the 12 games are available on streaming or TV. Fortunately, that includes three of the most important games on offer. Those are Leeds-Southampton, Ipswich-Huddersfield and Birmingham City-Norwich.</p>

4030. <p>The Leeds United game at home against Southampton is available exclusively on <a href="https://go.web.plus.espn.com/mWebq" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">ESPN+</a>. The battle between the teams in third and fourth is truly only important for Leeds. Southampton, regardless of what happens on Saturday, will finish fourth. As a result, the Saints will host the second leg of the promotion playoffs against whichever team finishes fifth. That could be Norwich, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/west-brom-tv-schedule/">West Bromwich Albion</a> or <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/hull-city-tv-schedule/">Hull City</a>.</p>
4031.  
4032.  
4033.  
4034. <p>Leeds, on the other hand, <em>can</em> jump into second with a win. However, this scenario requires Ipswich Town to lose to <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/huddersfield-tv-schedule-view-terriers-games-on-tv/">Huddersfield Town</a>, a team effectively already relegated to League One. Huddersfield did hold Ipswich to a draw earlier in the campaign, so that could be crucial as Leeds becomes a massive Huddersfield supporter.</p>

4057. <p>That game between Ipswich and Huddersfield, which also kicks off at 7:30 a.m. ET is available on both ESPN2 and ESPN+. Likewise, the final game available for American audiences is the game between Birmingham City and Norwich City. Only available on ESPN+, this game has significance at both ends of the table. For Norwich, one point is good enough for the Canaries to guarantee a spot in the promotion playoffs. Even then, Norwich is effectively already guaranteed a spot in the playoffs. With a three-point lead over Hull City, it would take a massive loss from Norwich and a multi-goal win from Hull to usurp that promotion place. Norwich’s goal differential is seven better than Hull’s. Regardless, securing at least one point takes all the math out of play.</p>
4058.  
4059.  
4060.  
4061. <p>Birmingham City is desperate for a win to have any chance of staying up. The club has undergone such rapid change this year, and it is now going to suffer the consequences. A win over Norwich would bring Birmingham City above <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/plymouth-argyle-tv-schedule-view-pilgrims-games-on-tv/">Plymouth Argyle</a>. Yet, Plymouth could pull out a result against Hull City to officially send Birmingham City down.</p>

4088. <p>Eintracht Frankfurt could find themselves in a precarious position heading into their final <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/bundesliga-tv-schedule/">Bundesliga</a> match of the campaign. While the Eagles <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENAhL0C9-1s" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">have not thrived</a>, they could still grab a spot in the Champions League. This is even though Eintracht currently sits sixth in the domestic table and has only won three of their last 12 top-flight fixtures. </p>
4089.  
4090.  
4091.  
4092. <p>Germany recently secured an extra place in next season’s Champions League group stage. Due to upcoming format changes in the tournament, two additional clubs will take part in the expanded competition. Italy previously picked up one of these spots after <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/serie-a-tv-schedule/">Serie A</a> teams performed well in various European competitions this season.</p>
4093.

4097.  
4098.  
4099.  
4100. <p>While Germany now knows they will have five clubs in the 2024/25 Champions League, they could <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/bundesliga-could-have-six-clubs-in-next-seasons-champions-league/">have six</a>. If this is the case, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/borussia-dortmund-tv-schedule/">Borussia Dortmund</a> would have to win the current Champions League title. However, the scenario is not finished just yet. A sixth German team would only qualify for the tournament if BVB triumphs and finishes fifth in the Bundesliga table. The sixth-placed Bundesliga team would join Dortmund and the top four German clubs in the competition.</p>
4101.  
4102.  
4103.  
4104. <p>Dortmund currently holds a slender 1-0 lead over <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/psg-tv-schedule/">Paris Saint-Germain</a> in their Champions League semifinal matchup. The two teams will face off in the return leg on Tuesday, May 7th in France. The eventual winner of the fixture would then advance on to the tournament final later in the month. Fellow German side <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/bayern-munich-tv-schedule/">Bayern Munich</a> is battling it out with <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/real-madrid-tv-schedule/">Real Madrid</a> in the other semifinal.</p>

4109.  
4110.  
4111.  
4112. <p>Dortmund has secured themselves a nice safety net for next season’s Champions League. As a result, they do not necessarily have to finish inside the top four of the Bundesliga. BVB is currently five points behind <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/rb-leipzig-tv-schedule-for-viewers-in-united-states/">RB Leipzig</a> in the current standings.</p>
4113.  
4114.  
4115.  
4116. <h2>Eintracht could face Leipzig on the final day needing to lose</h2>
4117.  
4118.  
4119.  
4120. <p>Nevertheless, Eintracht could very well find themselves needing to lose their final game of the season to qualify for the Champions League. The Eagles currently have a five-point advantage in the table over <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/freiburg-tv-schedule-for-us-viewers/">Freiburg</a>. Assuming Eintracht has secured the sixth spot by the final Bundesliga matchday, their last match against Leipzig would certainly be worth keeping an eye on.</p>
4121.  
4122.  
4123.  
4124. <p>If Dortmund and Leipzig continue to fight for fourth place, Eintracht would benefit from actually losing to Leipzig on the final day. Dortmund’s last domestic match of the season comes against soon-to-be relegated Darmstadt. Although not a given, BVB will be overwhelming favorites to win the fixture. Dortmund grabbing fourth in the Bundesliga table would signal the end of Eintracht’s Champions League hopes.</p>
4125.  
4126.  
4127.  
4128. <p>The situation could get even crazier if Eintracht needs a single point to secure sixth in the table, but cannot beat Leipzig to help out Dortmund. In this event, things may get prickly if Eintracht holds a lead in the final stages of the Leipzig match. This particular scenario would be a potential nightmare for Bundesliga officials and the teams involved.</p>
4129.  
4130.  
4131.  
4132. <p>Nevertheless, there are plenty of situations that would need to align for such an event to occur. And Eintracht, Leipzig, and Dortmund will all hope to avoid dealing with these headaches.</p>

4151. <p>There are now just two weeks left in the 2023/24 Premier League season. In truth, it does not seem like that long ago people were <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/predict-the-2023-24-premier-league-table-whos-going-to-win-the-title-20230808-WST-448598.html">making their Premier League predictions</a> for the campaign. The dominating favorite to win yet another league title was Manchester City. Now, after a wild season, Pep Guardiola’s side is in the driver’s seat for the rest of the campaign.</p>
4152.  
4153.  
4154.  
4155. <p>However, with each team needing to play three or four games this season, there is still plenty of time for a shake-up to the standings. Could it <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/can-a-spending-cap-make-the-premier-league-less-boring/">happen this weekend</a>? Manchester City has a road game at Wolves. The last time City did <em>not</em> win the Premier League was in 2019/20. In that season, Wolves beat Manchester City both home and away, with the win at Molineux setting Liverpool on an impassable path for the rest of the season. Wolves defeated Manchester City earlier this season. If Wolves can do it again at the Etihad, there could be more drama as the end of the season approaches.</p>
4156.  
4157.  
4158.  
4159. <p>That, of course, assumes Arsenal can maintain form during the run-in to the season’s finale. A game against Bournemouth last season had fans dreaming of Premier League riches. That will be the hope at the Emirates again on Saturday. Liverpool is all but out of the title race, and its game against Tottenham has more of an impact on Spurs, which is desperately trying to claw its way back into the top four.</p>
4160.  
4161.  
4162.  
4163. <p>The relegation race should also be interesting this weekend. A strong run of form from Everton has the Toffees safe in the Premier League barring any more points deductions. Sean Dyche’s side may still have a say on Luton’s chances in the top flight, though, when the two meet on Friday. Then, on Saturday, Sheffield United, which is going down to the Championship, could pull Nottingham Forest down with it.</p>

4277. <p>Marco Reus will depart <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/borussia-dortmund-tv-schedule/">Borussia Dortmund</a> later this month after a mutual agreement not to extend his contract. The midfielder has been with the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/bundesliga-tv-schedule/">Bundesliga</a> side since joining from <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/borussia-monchengladbach-tv-schedule/">Borussia Monchengladbach</a> in 2012. However, Reus previously excelled in the youth ranks at Dortmund from the age of seven. After departing as a teen, he then rejoined his former club after a spell with the fellow North Rhine-Westphalia team.</p>

4281. <p>In 12 seasons with BVB, Reus has racked up 168 goals and 128 assists in over 420 total matches. An attacking midfielder, the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/nations/germany-national-team-tv-schedule/">Germany</a> international was previously seen as one of the top creative players in all of Europe. Nevertheless, injuries took a toll on the star throughout his career. Reus has missed over 200 games due to various injuries and setbacks. The midfielder was sidelined for 220 days after suffering an ACL injury in 2017.</p>

4289. <p>Despite the injuries, Reus has remained a key figure at Dortmund. With the midfielder running the show, the German club finished runners-up for the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/champions-league-tv-schedule/">UEFA Champions League</a> title in 2013. He then helped his boyhood team lift the DFB-Pokal twice (2017 and 2021), as well as the DFL-Supercup twice as well (2013 and 2019).</p>

I already know now that I will find it difficult to say goodbye at the end of the season.”</p>

4297. <p>“And yet I’m happy that there is now clarity and that we can focus fully on the very important final games that we still have to play. We have a big objective in our sights that we all want to achieve together. To do so, we will need every single one of our unbelievable fans, to whom I would like to express my sincere thanks for their unbelievable support over the years.”</p>
