22. <p>Aston Villa and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/chelsea-tv-schedule/">Chelsea</a> could very well find it difficult to comply with UEFA’s financial rules next season. The governing body’s law, of course, only affects clubs that qualify for European competitions. <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/aston-villa-tv-schedule/">Villa</a> has already booked a place in at least the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/europa-league-tv-schedule/">Europa League</a> for the 2024/25 campaign, but they also remain in the driver’s seat for a <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/champions-league-tv-schedule/">Champions League</a> place. The Blues, on the other hand, are currently fighting for a <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/conference-league-tv-schedule/">Conference League</a> spot.</p>
23.  
24.  
25.  
26. <p>Both English top-flight teams revealed massive losses during the most recent financial report. Villa <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/aston-villa-claims-to-be-on-track-despite-151-million-loss-20240305-WST-493136.html">announced</a> that they lost around $151 million for the 2022/23 year. Club ownership has not been afraid to spend in recent transfer windows. The influx of investing into the squad has, however, paid off. Manager Unai Emery has the team sitting fourth in the Premier League standings. They could potentially secure Champions League play for the first time in over 40 years.</p>
27.  
28.  
29.  
30. <p>Chelsea also recently <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/chelsea-financial-losses-reach-115-million-to-flirt-with-ffp/">reported</a> huge losses of nearly $115 million as well. Although a lower figure than Villa, the Blues previously posted a loss of $154 million just last year. The combination of these two figures means that Chelsea’s situation is likely to be more concerning compared to Villa’s.</p>
31.  
32.  
33.  
34. <h2>New UEFA rules may punish FFP violations of Chelsea and Aston Villa</h2>
35.  
36.  
37.  
38. <p>UEFA’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) laws are actually quite different than the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/premier-league-tv-schedule/">Premier League</a>‘s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) that Aston Villa and Chelsea have skirted so far. The European governing body states that teams in their tournaments next season are only allowed to lose a maximum of $43 million over the last two campaigns. England’s PSR, conversely says that clubs cannot exceed about $133 million in losses over three years.</p>
39.  
40.  
41.  
42. <p>According to a report by <em><a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/sport/football/article/chelsea-uefa-financial-rules-european-qualification-ntk9k86r9" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Times</a></em>, Chelsea spent $94 million on agents’ fees alone this season. The Blues have also purchased 21 players in the last two transfer windows totaling a cost of around $568 million. Club brass managed to offload 10 players during this timeframe, but only at a profit of about $60 million.</p>
43.  
44.  
45.  
46. <p>Despite the seemingly precarious financial situation at the two clubs, both teams have claimed that they are on track to satisfy UEFA’s spending laws. Chelsea owner Todd Boehly even personally played down potential sanctions by the governing body.</p>
47.  
48.  
49.  
50. <p>“The club continues to balance success on the field together with the financial imperatives of complying with UEFA and Premier League financial regulations,” <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/sport/football/article/chelsea-uefa-financial-rules-european-qualification-ntk9k86r9" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">stated</a> Boehly. “The club has complied with these since their inception in 2012 and expects to do so in the foreseeable future.”</p>
51.  
52.  
53.  
54. <h2>Report claims any ruling may not be handed out until 2025</h2>
55.  
56.  
57.  
58. <p>Nevertheless, it remains to be seen if either club will face expulsion from any of UEFA’s tournaments. The aforementioned report, however, claims that the governing body may not take action against the English duo until next year. This could very well mean that the two teams will take part in European competitions in 2024. They could then potentially face sanctions in future seasons.</p>
59.  
60.  
61.  
62. <p><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/juventus-tv-schedule/">Juventus</a> is the most recent club to receive a similar expulsion for breaching UEFA’s FFP rules. The Italian side received a <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/juventus-banned-from-europa-conference-league-for-one-year-20230728-WST-446220.html">one-year ban</a> from competing in the Conference League ahead of the current campaign. The Old Lady has since rebounded, as they are on the brink of securing a Champions League spot for the 2024/25 season.</p>
63.  
64.  
65.  
66. <p>Villa can qualify for the Champions League with a victory against Liverpool at the weekend. They can also book their place in next season’s top European competition if Tottenham Hotspur falls to Burnley as well. Chelsea now sits seventh in the standings and would be in a Conference League spot if Manchester City tops Manchester United in the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/fa-cup-tv-schedule/">FA Cup</a>. The Blues are also in contention to nab a Europa League place, assuming they finish the season strong.</p>

84.          <description><![CDATA[Three more Premier League clubs have revealed plans to play friendlies in the United States this summer.

85. <p>Three more <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/premier-league-tv-schedule/">Premier League</a> clubs have revealed plans to play friendlies in the United States this summer. <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/crystal-palace-tv-schedule/">Crystal Palace</a>, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/west-ham-tv-schedule/">West Ham</a>, and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/wolves-tv-schedule-for-us-viewers/">Wolves</a> are the latest English teams set to tour America in the coming months. Several big Premier League teams, including Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and both Manchester sides, have <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/schedule-of-soccer-friendlies-in-us-this-summer/">previously announced</a> similar American tours. In all, half of all current English top-flight clubs will make the trip to the States this summer.</p>
86.  
87.  
88.  
89. <p>The inaugural 2024 Stateside Cup trophy will feature a three-game tournament between Palace, West Ham, and Wolves. Each team will play each other once and the matches are set to take place in Florida and Maryland. West Ham and Wolves will start the competition on July 27th in Jacksonville, Florida. Palace will then face Wolves four days later in Annapolis, Maryland. The mini-tournament is set to conclude as West Ham takes on Palace on August 3 in Tampa, Florida.</p>
90.  
91.  
92.  
93. <h2>Palace, West Ham both have ownership ties to the US</h2>
94.  
95.  
96.  
97. <p>Palace has direct ties to the U.S. due to American investor John Textor’s 45% stake in the club. The Eagles recently played a pair of summer friendlies in the States just last summer. Textor’s team previously faced off against Colombian side Millonarios in Illinois before then playing Sevilla in Detroit.</p>
98.  
99.  
100.  
101. <p>While the South London side flirted with potential relegation earlier this summer, head coach Oliver Glasner has the club back on track. Palace’s form has skyrocketed recently thanks to big wins against Liverpool and Manchester United. Glasner has his team playing attractive soccer, while also not losing a match in over a month.</p>
102.  
103.  
104.  
105. <p>The Hammers also have an American connection as well. Tripp Smith, born in Indiana, currently holds an 8% stake in the east London club. The team last made the trip across the pond in 2016 but will make their first appearance in Florida later this summer. </p>
106.  
107.  
108.  
109. <p>West Ham currently finds themselves in the top half of the Premier League table under manager David Moyes. Nevertheless, team brass is likely to make a managerial change, meaning their next coach could debut in America.</p>
110.  
111.  
112.  
113. <h2>Wolves have interesting history here in the States</h2>
114.  
115.  
116.  
117. <p>Wolves may not have current ownership ties to the U.S., but they certainly have a lengthy history Stateside. The West Midlands side last played a match in America 43 years ago. However, the club previously helped compile one of the teams for the United Soccer Association (USA) back in the 1960s. The American Wolves collected the league’s title in 1967, the division’s sole campaign. A documentary was <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tv/la-wolves-releasing-new-soccer-documentary-about-former-us-club-20231027-WST-465240.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">recently released</a> regarding the story of the club’s triumph.</p>
118.  
119.  
120.  
121. <p>Despite financial issues, Wolves are set to complete a fairly respectable season thanks to the help of coach Gary O’Neil. The club currently sits 12th in the table, safe from potential relegation. O’Neil was brought into the team at a time when management was just hoping to remain in the English top flight.</p>
122.  
123.  
124.  
125. <p>Fans can purchase tickets to all three Stateside Cup matches on the tournament’s <a href="https://statesidecup.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">official website</a> starting on Monday, May 13 at 10 a.m. ET. Each team involved is handling a pre-sale for their own specific matches. </p>

129. <p>West Ham fans can <a href="https://www.whufc.com/sunshine-state-tour/register-sunshine-state-tour-pre-sale" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">register now</a> for the early event. Official Palace supporter group members <a href="https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/announcement/crystal-palace-return-united-states-2024-pre-season-tour/">can access</a> the pre-sale on Friday, May 10 at 10 a.m. ET.

160. <p>FIFA could once again soon find themselves in yet another legal battle. Soccer’s global governing body <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/explained-what-the-european-super-league-ruling-means-20231221-WST-478973.html">previously</a> lost a case against European Super League organizers. They then faced another lawsuit regarding a policy that blocks league games from happening in other countries. FIFA officials, however, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/us-soccer-continues-relevent-battle-despite-recent-fifa-deal/">recently</a> came to an agreement with promoters Relevent Sports Group on the issue. As a result of deal, Relevent had to drop their court case against the governing body.</p>
161.  
162.  
163.  
164. <p>While one case has been completed, another may be set to start. FIFPRO, the international players’ union, has teamed up with the World Leagues to threaten a potential lawsuit against FIFA. The point of contention surrounds the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/2025-club-world-cup/">2025 FIFA Club World Cup</a> in the United States next summer. Officials previously revealed plans to expand the competition from seven clubs to 32. </p>
165.  
166.  
167.  
168. <p>UEFA will see the most teams feature at the tournament. Twelve European sides highlight the teams on display in the United States. CONCACAF, the hosting confederation, will have a total of five teams. Four of those are CONCACAF Champions Cup winners, such as the Seattle Sounders and Monterrey. Also, one additional MLS team will compete in the tournament. </p>
169.  
170.  
171.  
172. <h2>Groups send joint letter to FIFA regarding increased scheduling</h2>
173.  
174.  
175.  
176. <p>The decision to expand the Club World Cup has not gone down well with the players and their union. There are concerns about player welfare and safety because of the added matches at a time when many players typically rest. </p>
177.  
178.  
179.  
180. <p>Not only has FIFPRO publicly condemned FIFA’s decision to expand the competition, but the World Leagues has now joined forces with the union. The World Leagues is a group that officially represents professional soccer leagues around the globe.</p>
181.  
182.  
183.  
184. <p>According to <em>New York Times</em> reporter Tariq Panja, the two groups have contacted the governing body to inform them that they have taken legal advice over the issue. Both FIFPRO and the World Leagues recently submitted a letter to FIFA executives asking them to make alterations to the expanded Club World Cup schedule or face potential time in court.</p>
185.  
186.  
187.  
188. <p>“Should FIFA refuse to formally commit to resolving the issues … at its upcoming council, we shall be compelled to advise our members on the options available to them, both individually and collectively, to proactively safeguard their interests,” the letter sent to the governing body <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/sport/football/article/fifa-legal-threat-club-world-cup-expansion-jgbqmcq86" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reads</a>. “These options include legal action against FIFA, on which we have now commissioned external expert advice.”</p>

197.  
198. <h2>FIFA scheduling Club World Cup in USA continues safety ignorance</h2>
199.  
200.  
201.  
202. <p>FIFA will now have to make a major decision in the coming months. Will they move forward with FIFA president Gianni Infantino’s wishes to heavily expand the competition and face the lawsuit? Or will the organization back down from its plans to avoid yet another potential legal headache?</p>
203.  
204.  
205.  
206. <p>FIFA’s final decision remains unclear. In all likelihood, it will be defiant in its approach. Nevertheless, player safety should be the top priority for the governing body. Injuries are increasing as players from top teams now play more games than ever. Not only have <a href="https://www.fifpro.org/media/qa5pkwep/fifpro_pwm2023_final.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">studies</a> shown that injuries and physical fatigue are up, but mental health concerns are also on the rise as well.</p>
207.  
208.  
209.  
210. <p>FIFA is expanding the Club World Cup to essentially generate more interest and money in the tournament. Many soccer fans typically tend to skip the annual contest played in the middle of many regular season schedules. While moving the competition to the summer should help, very few seem to support expanding the contest to include 32 teams.</p>

237. <p>Coming soon to the Blaugrana fans is the much-anticipated return to <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/barcelona-denies-accusations-of-labor-abuse-in-camp-nou-project-20231122-WST-472087.html">Camp Nou</a>. After being closed for over a year, the stadium will soon reopen. It will again accommodate some of the club’s most ardent fans during the next season.</p>
238.  
239.  
240.  
241. <h2>Barcelona hopes for Camp Nou during the Champions League</h2>
242.  
243.  
244.  
245. <p><a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20240508/1002242588/enero-liga-spotify-camp-nou-champions-montjuic.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mundo Deportivo</a> reports that the Catalans have already notified UEFA that they would hold next season’s games in two venues. Their season kicks off in <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/no-camp-nou-return-barcas-decision-on-estadi-olimpic-future-20231007-WST-460996.html">Montjuic’s Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys</a>. The refurbished Spotify Camp Nou, on the other hand, won’t open to the public until later in the season.</p>
246.  
247.  
248.  
249. <p>The current schedule has <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/barcelona-tv-schedule/">Barcelona</a> returning to their Spotify Camp Nou home around the middle of December. Restoration work on the famous stadium began last summer. Thus, they had already scheduled a date for its reopening.</p>
250.  
251.  
252.  
253. <p>The original target date was November 29—the club’s anniversary—to mark the reopening of the gates. But now it’s set for December 15, when the club officials have requested that <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/where-to-watch-la-liga-on-us-tv-and-internet/">La Liga</a> arrange the venue’s inaugural match.</p>
254.  
255.  
256.  
257. <p>Even though it won’t be finished until at least 2025, by the end of this year, 60% of its capacity should be available. For the time being, let’s just say that out of the stadium’s 105,000 seats, roughly 63,000 will be available to fans.</p>

264.  
265. <h2>Big inspiration to play well in the Champions League</h2>
266.  
267.  
268.  
269. <p>However, Xavi and his players will need to do well if they want the Champions League song played next season at the brand-new venue. Thus, the Camp Nou may host certain matches again, but it won’t be the site of every game.</p>
270.  
271.  
272.  
273. <p>Under UEFA regulations, teams are not allowed to switch home stadiums while competing in the group phase of European soccer. As a result, the 2024-25 group stage won’t finish until next January. It means that the Blaugrana can’t host <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/champions-league-tv-schedule/">Champions League</a> matches at home until then.</p>
274.  
275.  
276.  
277. <p>So, if they make it to the knockout stage, Xavi’s squad may get a huge lift by playing in the Round of 16 at their stadium. While their time at Montjuic has been beneficial, the return to Camp Nou should have a far greater effect on the team’s results.</p>
278.  
279.  
280.  
281. <p>Along with a roof and escalators, the new stadium will offer a plethora of other new amenities. Despite previous reports, according to Elena Fort, the club’s spokesperson, it will not include a 360-degree electronic board. Moreover, the Barcelona Fire Department approved the breathtaking <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/2030-world-cup-to-offer-potential-relief-to-barcas-financial-woes-20231011-WST-461528.html">new ‘skywalk’ proposal</a>.</p>
282.  
283.  
284.  
285. <p>From above, on the ground level, a promenade will provide a panoramic view of the stadium and the city below. Unfortunately, the ‘skywalk’ won’t be available to the public until the roof finishes. That is in 2026.</p>

309.

311.  
312. <p>“For this, we need to invest in the players because we want to show to the kids who play soccer when they are at school or when they are very young, that there is a path in soccer to glory to become one of these world stars.</p>
313.  
314.  
315.  
316. <p>“This is what maybe they don’t see yet. They see it in basketball, American football, in baseball and ice hockey. But in soccer, it’s still kind of far away. You have to go to Europe. And is there really a great American soccer player?”</p>

329.  
330. <p>“One of the things which shocked me here in America is that children have to pay in order to play. We have to stop this. I’m Italian, I grew up in a little Swiss Village in the middle of the mountains. There was a soccer team there, which played in the sixth highest division, so, it was very small and they had 23 teams.”</p>
331.

343.  
344.  
345.  
346. <p>Also, to ensure <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/where-to-watch-mls-on-us-tv-and-internet/">Major League Soccer</a>‘s long-term success, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/fifa-boss-says-soccer-will-be-top-sport-in-north-america-20221217-WST-412608.html">Infantino</a> said that the league must attract elite players. For the league to be more competitive on a global scale, he said, it must be more proactive in its pursuit of top-tier players.</p>
347.  
348.  
349.  
350. <p>“I told them you have to be a bit more bold, a bit more in the game. Bring in the best players,” he said. Then the 54-year-old went on to talk about how adding Messi and other prominent players has improved the league and Inter Miami in particular.</p>
351.  
352.  
353.  
354. <p>“The ‘Messi effect’ if we want to call it that way, you see Messi and Inter Miami filling stadiums, and not MLS stadiums but NFL stadiums,” he added. One notable manifestation of the so-called “<a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/how-mls-attendance-compares-to-european-leagues/">Messi effect</a>” is the unprecedented turnout for recent MLS matches.<br><br>A whopping 65,612 people showed out to see the New England Revolution take on Miami at Gillette Stadium, a site usually reserved for NFL games. On the other hand, MLS is up against institutional obstacles, including squad constraints and salary caps. It could make it harder to get such superstars.</p>
355.  
356.  
357.  
358. <p>The broadcast partner of Major League Soccer, Apple TV, is among the many stakeholders who have called for a loosening of these financial constraints. The head of FIFA also mentioned the long-term gains that may be made by adding more famous players to the Major League Soccer roster.</p>

377. <p>Bayern Munich crashed out of the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/champions-league-tv-schedule/">Champions League</a> Wednesday night against <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/real-madrid-tv-schedule/">Real Madrid</a> in <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/madrid-scores-twice-late-to-reach-18th-champions-league-final/">controversial fashion</a>. VAR, however, was not exactly the source of contention in the latter stages of the game. Instead, human error marred the massive match. The assistant official and match referee on the pitch both made mistakes in potentially disallowing an equalizing goal from Matthijs de Ligt.</p>
378.  
379.  
380.  
381. <p>After the controversy, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/bayern-munich-tv-schedule/">Bayern</a> boss Thomas Tuchel fumed at the wrong decisions by the referees. The defeat means that the coach is now expected to depart the German club without a trophy. It was <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/bayern-bizarrely-allows-tuchel-to-stay-with-club-for-season-20240221-WST-490840.html">revealed</a> back in February that Tuchel would leave the team after the current campaign. Despite the deep Champions League run, the situation is unlikely to change.</p>
382.  
383.  
384.  
385. <p>Tuchel’s main problem was failing to lead Bayern to a <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/bundesliga-tv-schedule/">Bundesliga</a> title, which is unacceptable for the club’s brass. Not only did his squad struggle on the pitch, but the coach also fell out with several players, as well as key executives at the team. The combination of these issues all directly led to his upcoming departure from Bavaria.</p>
386.  
387.  
388.  
389. <h2>Thomas Tuchel clashed with ownership during Premier League stint</h2>
390.  
391.  
392.  
393. <p>Tuchel is undoubtedly a quality coach. After all, he has collected significant silverware at all four clubs he has been at since 2015. This includes lifting the Champions League trophy with <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/chelsea-tv-schedule/">Chelsea</a> in 2021 before Todd Boehly and company blew up the squad.</p>
394.  
395.  
396.  
397. <p>Despite the success on the pitch, the German manager undoubtedly causes headaches practically everywhere he goes. Tuchel previously clashed with <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/borussia-dortmund-tv-schedule/">Borussia Dortmund</a>‘s backroom staff, including chief scout Sven Mislintat in 2017. He then rejected a chance to sign with Bayern a year later to instead join <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/psg-tv-schedule/">Paris Saint-Germain</a>. </p>
398.  
399.  
400.  
401. <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_20240509_WST_505781_Tuchel-Manchester-United-1200x670_2bdc392a.webp&amp;width=1200&amp;height=670" alt="" class="wp-image-505821" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Tuchel-Manchester-United-1200x670.jpg 1200w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Tuchel-Manchester-United-300x168.jpg 300w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Tuchel-Manchester-United-768x429.jpg 768w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Tuchel-Manchester-United.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure></figure>
402.  
403.  
404.  
405. <p>Just like his time with Dortmund, the coach once again had a fractured relationship with PSG’s hierarchy. This was mostly due to Tuchel’s public criticism of the club’s transfer targets and policies. The issues then continued on to Chelsea as well. Although he lifted the European title, Tuchel unsurprisingly clashed with Blues brass throughout his time at the club. </p>
406.  
407.  
408.  
409. <p>It was even <a href="https://theathletic.com/3576054/2022/09/08/tuchel-sacking-chelsea-potter/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> that Boehly labeled Tuchel a “nightmare” to handle before firing the coach in September of 2022. The German disagreed with Chelsea management regarding transfers and even had public spats with several first-team stars. This list included Christian Pulisic, Timo Werner, and Hakim Ziyech. All three players have since left the west London team.</p>
410.  
411.  
412.  
413. <h2>Manchester United may swap Ten Hag for Tuchel in coming weeks</h2>
414.  
415.  
416.  
417. <p>Despite his obvious issues, Tuchel will likely find a new job fairly quickly. If it was solely up to the German, he would make a return to the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/premier-league-tv-schedule/">Premier League</a>. The coach was asked about his future ahead of the match on Wednesday. While he initially attempted to avoid the question, Tuchel did admit his affinity for the English top flight.</p>
418.  
419.  
420.  
421. <p>“This is a tricky road where you lead me. I’d rather not answer,” Tuchel <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13395611/Thomas-Tuche-Man-United-loved-Chelsea-Premier-League.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">told</a> <em>TNT Sports</em>. “But it is no secret that I loved it at Chelsea, I loved it in England, and I loved it in the Premier League for sure. It was a very, very special time in England and I remember it very well.”</p>
422.  
423.  
424.  
425. <p>One team in particular that could very well soon target Tuchel is <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/manchester-united-tv-schedule/">Manchester United</a>. The club is currently experiencing their worst season in modern Premier League history under manager Erik ten Hag. As a result, club brass is expected to consider sacking the Dutchman following the current campaign.</p>
426.  
427.  
428.  
429. <p>If Ten Hag departs, Tuchel should be a favorite to land the prestigious position. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, United’s new co-owner, must consider the pros and cons of dealing with a combative figure such as Tuchel. While he has shown a clear ability to win trophies, will the headaches be worth it? The British billionaire is almost surely already pondering this question. </p>
430.  
431.  
432.  
433. <p>The potential lack of a standout favorite for the job could work in Tuchel’s favor. Whatever Ratcliffe and company decide, it seems as if changes, managerially and on the pitch, must happen at the club. </p>

459.  
460. <p>Under Egypt’s wealthiest individual, Nassef Sawiris, and US billionaire Wes Edens, Villa is fiercely competing for a place among the elites. Positioned fourth in the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/watch-premier-league-on-us-tv-internet/">Premier League</a> table, Unai Emery’s side eyes qualification for the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/champions-league-tv-schedule/">UEFA Champions League</a>.</p>
461.  
462.  
463.  
464. <p>It is a milestone that would signify a significant breakthrough for the club as it approaches its 150th season anniversary. Heck emphasizes their aspiration, stating, “We’re knocking on the door of the Champions League. That level is where we want to be and that’s where we want to stay.”</p>
465.  
466.  
467.  
468. <h2>European action to bring huge financial windfall</h2>
469.  
470.  
471.  
472. <p>The team may have escaped relegation in 2020 by the skin of its teeth. However, it has since regained its prominence. Villa is now the only English side that has made it to the semifinals in any European tournament this campaign.</p>

478.  
479.  
480. <p>Thursday will see the club’s attempt to recover from a two-goal deficit in the first leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League semifinal vs Olympiacos of Greece. But the main objective for Villa will be to qualify for the Champions League via a fourth-place finish in the Premier League.</p>
481.  
482.  
483.  
484. <p>Matching up against European powerhouses like <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/real-madrid-tv-schedule/">Real Madrid</a> and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/ac-milan-tv-schedule/">AC Milan</a> will help the club’s income growth. In 1982, Villa won the European Cup, the predecessor to the modern Champions League.</p>
485.  
486.  
487.  
488. <h2>How Villa plan to tear ‘Big Six’ down</h2>
489.  
490.  
491.  
492. <p>A key aspect of their strategy involves revenue growth, crucial for sustaining competitiveness in the modern soccer landscape. Heck has highlighted the importance of expanding revenue streams through avenues like merchandise, sponsorship, and stadium expansion.</p>
493.  
494.  
495.  
496. <p>Recent partnerships include a lucrative deal with betting brand Betano. These underscore Villa’s commitment to financial sustainability and global brand expansion. However, Villa faces financial challenges, notably navigating the stringent financial regulations of the Premier League.</p>
497.  
498.  
499.  
500. <p>The club has proposed adjustments to the league’s profitability and sustainability rules, reflecting the evolving financial dynamics of football. Despite financial setbacks in the past, their valuation has soared. V Sports, their ownership entity, just recently sold a minority stake, valuing the club at over $624 million.</p>
501.  
502.  
503.  
504. <p>The Lions emerged as a serious contender both on the pitch and in commercial dealings. Thus, Heck envisions a future where traditional distinctions like the “Big Six” may become obsolete. </p>
505.  
506.  
507.  
508. <p>He proposes the term “the Great Eight,” signaling a broader shift in the English football hierarchy. “I actually like the term, ‘the Great Eight’, and you can decide who you want to throw in there with us. I respect all of those clubs but that ‘Big Six’ name may go away sooner than you think.”</p>

527. <p>A lot of buzz has been building up about the future of Barcelona’s offensive line in recent weeks.</p>
528.  
529.  
530.  
531. <p>Although he got off to a sluggish start this season, Robert Lewandowski has been on fire since the midway point of the season. Nonetheless, there are still those in the Blaugrana hierarchy who aren’t quite sold on his continued presence; and they have $34 million reasons to believe so.</p>
532.  
533.  
534.  
535. <p>Despite Lewandowski’s repeated denials, rumors about his departure continue to circulate. Meanwhile, Xavi Hernandez does not have the veteran’s understudy Vitor Roque included much in his plans.</p>
536.  
537.  
538.  
539. <p>Roque’s January move has, after five months, clearly not been a success. In the last four months, the Brazilian teenager has played in only 310 minutes of action. Truly, Xavi has kept him out of the season’s most pivotal games.</p>
540.  
541.  
542.  
543. <p>The situation became public knowledge last weekend when Roque’s agent, Andre Cury, called for either more playing time or a move. So, he rejected the Spanish coach’s idea of a loan. The Blaugrana will undoubtedly seek a successor this summer since the futures of their two primary attackers are uncertain.</p>
544.  
545.  
546.  
547. <h2>Second time’s a charm?</h2>
548.  
549.  
550.  
551. <p>According to the latest rumors, Darwin Nunez of <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/liverpool-tv-schedule/">Liverpool</a> may fill this vacancy at Barcelona. The Uruguayan striker would be open to a transfer to <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/barcelona-tv-schedule/">Barcelona</a>, writes <a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/darwin-nunez-dio-barca-102085850" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sport</a>.</p>
552.  
553.  
554.  
555. <p>While he had previously stated his interest in playing for the Blaugrana, Benfica had already gotten their hands on him. During their time at Segunda, Almeria and Barca had reached an agreement in principle with <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/darwin-nunez-at-liverpool-unable-to-finish-or-wildly-unlucky-20230313-WST-422259.html">Nunez</a> for $8.6 million plus variables.</p>
556.  
557.  
558.  
559. <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_20240509_WST_505759_Darwin-Nunez-Liverpool-bench-1200x670_db92305f.webp&amp;width=1200&amp;height=670" alt="" class="wp-image-505804" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Darwin-Nunez-Liverpool-bench-1200x670.jpg 1200w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Darwin-Nunez-Liverpool-bench-300x168.jpg 300w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Darwin-Nunez-Liverpool-bench-768x429.jpg 768w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Darwin-Nunez-Liverpool-bench.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure></figure>
560.  
561.  
562.  
563. <p>But the Catalans’ manager at the time, Ronald Koeman disapproved of the agreement and used his veto power. The player subsequently transferred to Benfica for $36.5 million. Two years later, he signed for Liverpool for $91 million.</p>
564.  
565.  
566.  
567. <h2>All roads lead to Barcelona for Darwin Nunez</h2>
568.  
569.  
570.  
571. <p>Recent games at Anfield have seen the Uruguayan striker sit on the bench; especially since he hasn’t given the Reds the clinical edge they needed this season. Jurgen Klopp’s team beat Tottenham 4-2 last weekend, and the 24-year-old came off the bench in the 75th minute.</p>
572.  
573.  
574.  
575. <p>After going eight games without a goal, the Liverpool star failed to impress once again. Just after the final whistle, Nunez’s personal Instagram <a href="https://twitter.com/AnfieldSector/status/1787232721921593606" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">erased every picture of him wearing a Liverpool jersey</a> save for one.</p>
576.  
577.  
578.  
579. <p>It did nothing to quell fans’ curiosity regarding his long-term plans for the team. The speculation about a possible move to LaLiga powerhouse Barcelona simply added fuel to the fire.</p>
580.  
581.  
582.  
583. <p>Soon after, the Uruguayan and his fellow countryman Ronald Araujo were seen <a href="https://twitter.com/ESPNFC/status/1787887064060485992">hanging out together</a>. With the caption “My brother,” the Barca center back shared an <a href="https://twitter.com/ESPNFC/status/1787887064060485992" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Instagram photo of himself and Nunez</a>.</p>
584.  
585.  
586.  
587. <p>It is hardly shocking that the two would meet; they are both Uruguayan and have played together on the national squad. &nbsp;But given the speculation around the center forward and Barcelona as of late, the timing is noteworthy.</p>
588.  
589.  
590.  
591. <p>Thus, the Catalan daily adds that the 24-year-old would give Barcelona a priority if the possibility presented itself; especially given the impending arrival of Arne Slot this summer and the uncertainty surrounding his future.</p>

610. <p>With a year remaining on his contract, Stefano Pioli will almost certainly say goodbye to AC Milan this summer. With four-and-a-half years under his belt, Pioli’s tenure as <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/ac-milan-tv-schedule/">Milan</a>‘s coach is up. He oversaw several accomplishments during that period, including their return to Champions League regularity and a 19th Scudetto victory.</p>
611.  
612.  
613.  
614. <p>But dissatisfied with the outcomes and play of the last two seasons, the Rossoneri are evidently looking to replace their head coach. Several sources have lately indicated that Sergio Conceicao is the first choice among a lengthy list of potential contenders.</p>
615.  
616.  
617.  
618. <p>The Portuguese seems to be the clear frontrunner for the position. He and his present team have already set up a meeting to talk about their futures together. Rumor has it that he may reportedly depart Porto for free at season’s end thanks to a provision in his new contract.</p>
619.  
620.  
621.  
622. <h2>Milan looks to the Premier League again with Graham Potter</h2>
623.  
624.  
625.  
626. <p>But nothing is set in stone yet. Due to Milan’s thorough evaluation of all factors, the process of recruiting a new coach <a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/news/milan-ecco-quando-arrivera-la-nomina-del-nuovo-allenatore-il-ruo-14891" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">will likely be lengthy</a>. After this season finishes, the club will formally announce the new coach to show respect to Stefano Pioli.</p>
627.  
628.  
629.  
630. <p>This potentially leaves the door open to other candidates for the post as well. <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/potter-vs-pochetino-who-has-better-win-rate-at-chelsea-20240110-WST-482571.html">Graham Potter</a>, who is well-known to <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/premier-league-tv-schedule/">Premier League</a> fanatics, is the latest name to surface this week.</p>
631.  
632.  
633.  
634. <p>The Rossoneri management has reportedly been looking at Potter for a while now. In February, the initial rumors surfaced linking him to a San Siro switch. <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/chelsea-tv-schedule/">Chelsea</a> did agree to fire him, but he is still under contract with the club.</p>
635.  
636.  
637.  
638. <p>The Blues would benefit from him getting a new job as he has a five-year deal with the club that expires on 30 June 2027. When they acquired him from Brighton, they paid close to $25 million. Since then, the 48-year-old has been without a club, although he is <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/no-epl-return-dutch-strugglers-holding-out-hope-of-luring-potter/">generating attention from Ajax</a> and Milan.</p>
639.  
640.  
641.  
642. <h2>How would this impact Christian Pulisic?</h2>

647.  
648.  
649.  
650. <p>At the moment, the Englishman remains just a fish in the sea for the Italian giants. However, if they do end up pursuing him seriously, he could reunite with <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/borussia-dortmund-exec-talks-pulisic-usa-expansion/">Christian Pulisic</a>.</p>
651.  
652.  
653.  
654. <p>Potter’s appointment as manager of Chelsea brought hope for the USMNT star, who expressed optimism about proving himself under the new manager at the time. Pulisic scored in his first game back in the starting lineup for Potter, but he missed the next three games due to injury. This just served to fuel rumors about the coach’s opinion of him.</p>
655.  
656.  
657.  
658. <p>The winger had a solid World Cup break for the US national team. Nevertheless, he had a hard time keeping up with the Blues after the club’s heavy transfer window expenditure and injuries, hampering his progress.</p>
659.  
660.  
661.  
662. <p>After Potter’s dismissal, the squad was even more shaken up, and Pulisic acknowledged that they were <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/neither-epl-nor-bundesliga-san-siro-best-crowd-per-pulisic-20240209-WST-488763.html">struggling to adapt</a>. Although the American star tried his best, he was unable to succeed under the English boss due to these challenges.</p>

681. <p>Wrexham achieved a first in club history—back-to-back promotions—and concluded the League Two season with five victories in a row, securing second place. The Reds have thus earned a postseason celebration as they revel in a spot in League One.</p>
682.  
683.  
684.  
685. <p>Yet, on Friday, the club <a href="https://www.wrexhamafc.co.uk/news/2024/may/tst-2024--first-wrexham-red-dragons-players-revealed-for-mens-team/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">released the roster of players they had kept</a>. Therefore, they have also officially announced that eight players would be released this summer when their contracts expire.</p>
686.  
687.  
688.  
689. <p>Along with Rob Lainton, who has been with the club since 2018, captains Luke Young and Ben Tozer will also be leaving. Also headed for the door are youngsters Owen Cushion and Dan Davies. Defenders Aaron Hayden, Jordan Tunnicliffe and Callum McFadzean will eventually join them.</p>
690.  
691.  
692.  
693. <p>With his summer 2018 transfer, Young has been with the team longer than any other player. The midfielder was instrumental in the Red Dragons’ historic back-to-back promotions. Center-back Tozer, who joined the club in August of 2021, is also out of contract. His presence was equally important to the team’s success.</p>
694.  
695.  
696.  
697. <p>James McClean, meanwhile, will be participating in the 2024–25 season with an automatically extended contract. Also, players like Aaron James (defender), Steven Fletcher (forward), and Mark Howard (goalkeeper) have received extension offers.</p>
698.  
699.  
700.  
701. <h2>Wrexham forced to massively cut down squad size</h2>
702.  
703.  
704.  
705. <p>For the third level in England, the Welsh team will be limited to 22 players once again. League One clubs are also capped at 22 players. Those figures, however, do not account for goalkeepers or players whose age was less than 21 when the year began.</p>
706.  
707.  
708.  
709. <p>As a result, coach Phil Parkinson had to make some tough choices about who to include in his future plans. “People are not completely aware of that rule”, <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27780147/wrexham-ryan-reynolds-phil-parkinson/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said the Reds’ boss</a> earlier.</p>

717. <p>“We have got to work towards the 22-man squad and inevitably, the only way we can bring players in is by letting people go. The aim has always been to improve what we have got in each transfer window but also maintaining our key players. That’s what we will be aiming to do this time.</p>
718.  
719.  
720.  
721. <p>“It is going to be an interesting summer; we have got ideas how we would like to see the squad shape up. We will take our time and hopefully get a squad which can be competitive.”</p>

726.  
727.  
728.  
729. <p>At this point, the club will focus on another promotion and moving just a step away from the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/premier-league-tv-schedule/">Premier League</a>. But despite the club’s ambitions of playing in the top division one day, Parkinson asserted that they <a href="https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cx7dxp9x3wyo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">would not go over budget</a> this season.</p>
730.  
731.  
732.  
733. <p>“For all the players we’ve signed, there’s a lot of stories of ones we haven’t signed and got close to. We have a value on players we go for and if it goes above that, we just move away from it.</p>
734.  
735.  
736.  
737. <p>“I think that’s important because there isn’t endless pot of money. We are working towards a budget; we try and sign the players who offer us value going forward and I feel we’ve done that really well over the last few years.</p>
738.  
739.  
740.  
741. <p>“We’ve built a squad of players a lot who can carry on the journey with us. We’re not going to pay over the odds for players. We have our own valuation system and we’ll work towards that.”</p>

968. <h3>How can I watch these soccer friendlies if I can’t attend in person?</h3>
969.  
970.  
971.  
972. <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>
973.  
974.  
975.  
976. <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>
977.  
978.  
979.  
980. <h3>How do these friendlies differ from other soccer matches in terms of rules and gameplay?</h3>
981.  
982.  
983.  
984. <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>
985.  
986.  
987.  
988. <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>
989.  
990.  
991.  
992. <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>

1040. <h3>Other ways to watch</h3>
1041.  
1042.  
1043.  
1044. <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>
1045.  
1046.  
1047.  
1048. <h3>Why do teams play friendlies?</h3>
1049.  
1050.  
1051.  
1052. <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>
1053.  
1054.  
1055.  
1056. <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>
1057.  
1058.  
1059.  
1060. <p>Nowadays, the summer soccer friendlies are an annual tradition in the United States.</p>
1061.  
1062.  
1063.  
1064. <h3>Who plays in soccer friendlies?</h3>
1065.  
1066.  
1067.  
1068. <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>
1069.  
1070.  
1071.  
1072. <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>
1073.  
1074.  
1075.  
1076. <h3>Do friendlies count?</h3>
1077.  
1078.  
1079.  
1080. <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>
1081.  
1082.  
1083.  
1084. <p>You may wonder, what is a friendly in soccer? When soccer clubs first originated in the 1800s, there were no leagues or competitions. So, teams would play against each other in a friendly game. It wasn’t until 1888 when the Football League was created that teams faced each other in competitive games.</p>

1122. <p>The second spot in the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League Final comes down to Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, with TV coverage from CBS now known. The first leg was available on the CBS broadcast channel, as Bayern Munich and Real Madrid played out an exciting 2-2 draw. Fortunately for fans in the United States, the coverage of the second leg is largely similar. </p>
1123.  
1124.  
1125.  
1126. <p>Wednesday’s semifinal second leg from the Santiago Bernabeu is also available on CBS. Given the nature of these two teams, CBS is also allotting more time for pregame coverage. Even though kickoff is at 3 p.m. ET, pregame coverage on Paramount+ starts at 1:30 p.m. ET. That is also available on the CBS Sports Golazo Network. Then, at 2 p.m., fans can tune into CBS for pregame coverage and the game’s live broadcast. </p>

1161. <p>Much like the rest of CBS’s coverage, the pregame broadcast features the regular cast of stars on the panel. Kate Abdo hosts the 90 minutes of coverage alongside Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards. Not only will the cast preview what is sure to be a great second leg between Bayern and Real Madrid. They will recap Tuesday evening’s action that saw <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/dortmund-downs-psg-first-champions-league-final-since-2013/">Borussia Dortmund advance to the Champions League Final</a>.</p>
1162.  
1163.  
1164.  
1165. <p>On the call for Wednesday’s game are Clive Tyldesley and Rob Green. This commentary duo was also in the booth for the first leg at the Allianz Arena. In Munich, Guillem Balague and Alessandro del Piero will be providing analysis pitchside while also conducting interviews before and after the game. Christina Unkel will also be on standby to break down any rule controversies from Wednesday’s game.</p>
1166.  
1167.  
1168.  
1169. <h2>All square going to the Santiago Bernabeu</h2>
1170.  
1171.  
1172.  
1173. <p>Bayern Munich and Real Madrid played a 2-2 draw in the first leg. Based on the elimination of the away goals rule, that leaves a one-off game for either of these teams to join Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League Final. Bayern and Real Madrid have met in the Champions League semifinals several times in their history. Trips to the Santiago Bernabeu have not been overly kind to Bayern. This is the seventh time the two have met in the semifinals of this competition. Bayern has only won at the Santiago Bernabeu once in those ties. </p>
1174.  
1175.  
1176.  
1177. <p>The most recent matchup between the two at the Santiago Bernabeu saw Real Madrid hold on to a 2-2 draw that sent it through to a third Champions League Final in a row. A draw will not be enough for either side to guarantee a spot in the Final at Wembley. Yet, if it does come down to penalties, history is on Bayern’s side. In the 2011/12 semifinals, Bayern Munich advanced past Real Madrid on penalties at the Santiago Bernabeu. Thomas Tuchel, who is still leaving at the end of the season, will face a major challenge in defying the tactics of Carlo Ancelotti.</p>

1373. <p>As part of this deal, Fanatics, in collaboration with Topps will create Premier League trading cards. Additionally, Fanatics will sell stickers and related books that fans can collect. Prior to the deal with Panini, Topps sold stickers and related collectives from 1994 to 2019. As a result of adding the Premier League, Fanatics and Topps now have products involving the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/topps-bundesliga-sticker-collections-from-2018-through-2021-video-20210717-CMS-340075.html">Bundesliga</a>, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/topps-2021-mls-trading-cards-featuring-tanner-tessmann-autograph-video-20210717-CMS-340071.html">Major League Soccer</a> and the UEFA Champions League.</p>
1374.  
1375.  
1376.  
1377. <p>“This is a big deal for us,” David Leiner, Fanatics Collectibles’ president of trading cards, told <em><a href="https://www.cllct.com/sports-collectibles/memorabilia/fanatics-adds-crown-jewel-with-exclusive-deal-for-premier-league-cards" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">cllct</a></em>. “On a global basis, you have arguably the top domestic league in football in the Premier League — some of the top-tier clubs, top-tier players in the world. So, this is absolutely massive.”</p>
1378.  
1379.  
1380.  
1381. <p>Leiner went on to add that the Premier League was one of the jewels that Fanatics was missing in its crown. He hesitated to outwardly commit to what the products would look like in the lineup. However, previous iterations of Topps can point to what is in store for the Premier League.</p>

1389. <h2>Fanatics to bring back popular Premier League trading card packages</h2>
1390.  
1391.  
1392.  
1393. <p>The Topps Chrome set is the company’s most popular form of product that exists in other leagues and sports. Card collectors often preserve the Topps Chrome packs because of their quality and durability. They make it easy for traders to make a profit on valuable cards, particularly when they go up in value over time. Topps released this edition of cards last time it had the rights to the Premier League before Panini took over.</p>
1394.  
1395.  
1396.  
1397. <p>While North America has a strong culture of trading cards, Europe and South America generally have more of a <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/how-to-complete-a-world-cup-sticker-album-20221102-WST-405984.html">preference for stickers</a>. The deal with the Premier League is a way for Topps and Fanatics to continue the growth of the trading card market in Europe.</p>
1398.  
1399.  
1400.  
1401. <p>“I think you’re going to see a massive amount of continued growth in Europe and the same thing in Latin America, which is still very sticker focused,” Leiner said. “I think we’re seeing a burgeoning business there on the trading-card game and trading-card side. And again, I think soccer still has yet to have its day here in North America. Messi coming to MLS is helping to raise the bar. The World Cup coming here is going to raise that bar, but properties like the Premier League are, I think, always going to be the crown jewel of global football.”</p>
1402.  
1403.  
1404.  
1405. <p>Fanatics also may start using shirt patches to add another facet to its base of collectibles. In Major League Soccer, players making their debut wear a <a href="https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/mls-debut-patches-what-to-know-about-the-trading-cards-program" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Debut Patch</a> on their kit. After the game, the kit team removes the patch and uses an adhesive to apply it to a trading card. It will be a one-of-one collectible.</p>

Approximately 200,000 individuals had to leave their homes, according to recent media reports. Rains damaged over a million homes in the area, according to officials.</p>
1435.  
1436.  
1437.  
1438. <p>The Brazilian Football Association has imposed a 20-day suspension on three top-tier clubs’ matches. Once the floodwaters recede, the Rio Grande do Sul-based teams Gremio, Internacional, and Juventude will resume their football operations. The team will have to rearrange ten of their league and cup fixtures.</p>
1439.  
1440.  
1441.  
1442. <p>In a subsequent statement, CONMEBOL announced the rescheduling of two of Gremo’s matches. One is against Internacional in the Copa Sudamericana and another is the Copa Libertadores’ group stage game.</p>
1443.  
1444.  
1445.  
1446. <p>The airport, several hotels, and roadways of Porto Alegre are all underwater. To make matters worse, the weather forecasters predict that further heavy rain will continue into the weekend.</p>

1515. <p>In unbelievable fashion, Real Madrid scored two late goals to reach another Champions League Final. Entering the second leg level at two goals, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/bayern-munich-tv-schedule/">Bayern Munich</a> and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/real-madrid-tv-schedule/">Real Madrid</a> competed to <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/dortmund-downs-psg-first-champions-league-final-since-2013/">take on Borussia Dortmund</a> in the Champions League Final at Wembley. Two late goals from Joselu overturned Alphonso Davies’ game-opening goal to send Real Madrid through. </p>
1516.  
1517.  
1518.  
1519. <p>Joselu’s goals came in the 88th and 91st minutes of the game to defeat Bayern. However, it was not Real Madrid’s best performance, and it took a mistake from Manuel Neuer to let Real Madrid back into the game. </p>
1520.  
1521.  
1522.  
1523. <h2>Bayern Munich opens the scoring at the Santiago Bernabeu</h2>
1524.  
1525.  
1526.  
1527. <p>The draw from the first leg set up a timid start to the second leg on Wednesday. Both Real Madrid and Bayern had decent chances in the first 45, with the hosts having the better opportunity. In the 13th minute, Dani Carvajal picked out Vinicius Junior inside the area. The Brazilian took the shot with his second touch. The slightest save from Manuel Neuer deflected the ball onto the post. The rebound came back to a rushing Rodrygo. Yet, the Brazilian’s shot against a calamitous Bayern defense was straight at Manuel Neuer, who gratefully claimed the ball.</p>
1528.  
1529.  
1530.  
1531. <p>Bayern’s best chance came via Harry Kane from distance. A deflection from Nacho looped into the area where Kane waited 24 yards from goal. The ball looped down, and Kane struck it sweetly on the volley. Although the ball looked like it was going wide, Andriy Lunin had to be sure as he guided it out for a corner.</p>
1532.  
1533.  
1534.  
1535. <p>The second half was far more open. In the first 10 minutes of the second half, both Bayern and Real Madrid had chances. Harry Kane and Alphonso Davies went close for the visitors. Real Madrid had two close calls, but it failed to test Manuel Neuer. Neuer was forced into action following a great solo run from Vinicius. Carving through the Bayern defense from the left side, Vinicius got a chance to crack a shot, and his shot was bound for the top corner. Neuer got across and fisted the ball away for a corner.</p>
1536.

1540.  
1541.  
1542.  
1543. <p>The first goal of the game arrived via an unexpected source. In the 68th minute, Jamal Musiala started a counter-attack with a defensive interception. He found Harry Kane up the field, who played a long-range pass to Alphonso Davies on the left side. The Canadian challenged Antonio Rudiger by cutting onto his right foot. He <a href="https://twitter.com/CBSSportsGolazo/status/1788305204053430299" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lashed a shot across Lunin</a>, who was helpless as the ball sailed in. </p>

1546.  
1547. <h2>In classic fashion, Madrid overturns the tie late</h2>
1548.  
1549.  
1550.  
1551. <p>Madrid thought it equalized five minutes later. A disorganized piece of play from Real Madrid led to the ball bouncing in off a Bayern defender. However, a VAR review found that Nacho shoved Joshua Kimmich to the ground in the face during the buildup. </p>
1552.  
1553.  
1554.  
1555. <p>Neuer denied every Real Madrid attempt for the first 87 minutes. Yet, it was one of the worst moments of his career that would cost Bayern. A long-range shot from Vinicius bounced three yards in front of Neuer. The German failed to hold onto the ball, and Joselu came <a href="https://twitter.com/CBSSportsGolazo/status/1788309965964239205" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">rushing in to score</a>. Madrid was level on the night and on the tie.</p>
1556.  
1557.

1560.  
1561.  
1562.  
1563. <p>However, Real Madrid was now the frontrunner to score the next goal. Even if extra time looked likely, Real Madrid always finds a way. Three minutes after its equalizer, Real Madrid took the lead on the night. Antonio Rudiger was up in the attack, and he crossed a ball into Joselu who <a href="https://twitter.com/CBSSportsGolazo/status/1788311071150719324" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">guided the ball in</a>. Originally, the referee flagged the play for offside, but both Rudiger and Joselu were clearly onside.</p>
1564.

1566.  
1567. <h2>Madrid into Champions League Final on the back of late controversy</h2>
1568.  
1569.  
1570.  
1571. <p>Bayern Munich had a shout for an equalizer in the 13th minute of stoppage time. A long all over the top was dealt with by Rudiger, but Bayern Munich recovered the ball in the box before Matthijs de Ligt powered it home. However, before that, the referees blew the whistle for offside. It was the opposite of what happened on Joselu’s second goal when referees allowed play to continue. There was nothing the referee could do in terms of VAR since the whistle had gone. The game finished, and Real Madrid advanced to another Champions League Final.</p>
1572.  
1573.  
1574.  
1575. <p>CBS referee analyst Christina Unkel said there were <a href="https://twitter.com/worldsoccertalk/status/1788322660469842031" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">two refereeing errors</a> on that final play. Not only was the play onside by Christina Unkel’s view. She says the referee should not have blown the play dead. She identified the moment as a key, critical error by this refereeing crew. De Ligt, who put the ball in the back of the net, called it a disgrace.</p>

1600. <p>Weston McKennie may still play for Juventus for another year, but he is aiming for a new, richer contract.</p>
1601.  
1602.  
1603.  
1604. <p>Following his unimpressive loan stint at Leeds United last season, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/pulisic-and-mckennie-had-comical-obstacle-to-overcome-in-serie-a/">McKennie</a> has made an outstanding return in Turin. This season, the American midfielder has played over 2,800 minutes for Massimiliano Allegri’s side. He has thus appeared in 36 games and assisted on 10 goals.</p>
1605.  
1606.  
1607.  
1608. <p>The Old Lady’s progress to the Coppa Italia Final and current top-four position in Serie A are greatly due to McKennie. That’s even though the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/nations/usmnt-tv-schedule/">USMNT</a> star was reportedly linked with a possible transfer away last summer.</p>
1609.  
1610.  
1611.  
1612. <h2>What did McKennie previously say about his future?</h2>
1613.  
1614.  
1615.  
1616. <p>The 25-year-old recently revealed wanting to help Juventus win trophies and return to Europe. However, he couldn’t say for sure what the future holds.</p>
1617.  
1618.  
1619.  
1620. <p>“I have a year left in my contract, and my agent is speaking with the director,” <a href="https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/serie-a/mckennie-non-siamo-contenti-spero-di-rimanere-vogliamo-tornare-a-vincere-lo-scudetto-1964963" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">McKennie told DAZN</a> following <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/juventus-tv-schedule/">Juventus</a>’ 1-1 Serie A draw with Roma last Sunday. “I’d like to stay, obviously, but we’ll see what happens. Hopefully, we can work it out. As for the team, we have the same goal we’ve had for the past three years.”</p>
1621.  
1622.  
1623.  
1624. <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_20240508_WST_505702_McKennie-Juventus-move-1200x670_f14252b9.webp&amp;width=1200&amp;height=670" alt="" class="wp-image-505720" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/McKennie-Juventus-move-1200x670.jpg 1200w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/McKennie-Juventus-move-300x168.jpg 300w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/McKennie-Juventus-move-768x429.jpg 768w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/McKennie-Juventus-move.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure></figure>
1625.  
1626.  
1627.  
1628. <p>“We want to win the Scudetto and play a big role in the Champions League; we want to return Juventus to the glory days, how it was before,” he added.</p>
1629.  
1630.  
1631.  
1632. <p>“Juventus are a team with a lot of winning history, and this team wants to show that we belong in that history as well, so hopefully, we can win the Coppa Italia, at least a trophy this season and finish the season strong and for the future put Juventus where we belong.”</p>
1633.  
1634.  
1635.  
1636. <h2>McKennie requests better salary from Juventus</h2>
1637.  
1638.  
1639.  
1640. <p>With a solid finish to the season, McKennie may be able to sign a new deal before the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/copa-america-tv-schedule/">2024 Copa America</a> event. But despite his meteoric rise to star status this season, the Bianconeri may decide to sell him after all.</p>
1641.  
1642.  
1643.  
1644. <p>That’s because, according to reports, to extend his contract, McKennie is supposedly seeking a salary of $3.2 million. It would match that of his midfield partner Manuel Locatelli.</p>
1645.  
1646.  
1647.  
1648. <p>The club is proposing the American midfielder a contract extension. However, <a href="https://www.tuttosport.com/news/calcio/calciomercato/juventus/2024/05/07-127131906/mckennie_il_paragone_locatelli_e_l_attesa_le_scelte_juve_saranno_decisive" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tuttosport</a> claims that the new offer is at a reduced wage; rather than the $2.7 million he is presently earning.</p>
1649.  
1650.  
1651.  
1652. <p>So, instead of risking losing the player for free in 2025, Juventus may try to offload the American this summer. Given McKennie’s remarkable comeback this season, when he is a crucial cog for Juve, it would be an unexpected turn of events.</p>
1653.  
1654.  
1655.  
1656. <p>In fact, for an instant, the USMNT star seemed to recently provide a huge indication that he was going to switch clubs this summer. His official Facebook profile picture <a href="https://www.tuttosport.com/news/calcio/serie-a/juventus/2024/05/03-126895532/juve_mckennie_al_manchester_united_mercato_hackerato_mezz_ora_di_follia_social" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">had him in a Manchester United jersey</a>, grinning from ear to ear.</p>
1657.  
1658.  
1659.  
1660. <p>Despite its brief duration, it garnered sufficient attention to generate several comments and shares. After causing a stir with a photo of himself wearing a United shirt, the 25-year-old had his Facebook account hacked.</p>

1679. <p>The 17th UEFA European Championship, set to be hosted by Germany in 2024, is drawing near quickly. Matches at the summer’s crown jewel event will be held in 10 host towns, marking Germany’s return to hosting a major tournament since the 2006 World Cup.</p>
1680.  
1681.  
1682.  
1683. <p>The international soccer schedule is more packed than ever before due to the postponement of Euro 2020 and the relocation of the Qatar World Cup to last winter. What this also indicates is that the next Euros are going to be here soon.</p>
1684.  
1685.  
1686.  
1687. <p>Euro 2024 will happen in Germany after the 2023-24 domestic season concludes in about one month. This differs from the 2022 <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/world-cup-tv-schedule/">World Cup</a>, which put European play on a monthlong hiatus. Therefore, it will be business as usual for the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/watch-premier-league-on-us-tv-internet/">Premier League</a> and the other major European leagues.</p>
1688.  
1689.  
1690.  
1691. <p>Friday, June 14, at Munich’s Allianz Arena, marks the beginning of the 51-game competition. In the first encounter, Scotland, coached by Steve Clarke, will face off against hosts Germany. Following the completion of the group stage on Wednesday, June 26, the knockout stage will begin on Saturday, June 29. The final match of <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/uefa-european-championship-tv-schedule/">Euro 2024</a>, scheduled for <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/combined-schedule-of-copa-america-and-euro-2024-games-20231211-WST-476494.html">Sunday, July 14</a>, at Berlin’s Olympiastadion, will cap off a monthlong tournament.</p>

1714. <h2>Why did UEFA choose Germany as host?</h2>
1715.  
1716.  
1717.  
1718. <p>Ahead of the initial bids deadline of March 3, 2017, UEFA confirmed five days later that two nations—Turkey and Germany—had declared their desire to host the event. Germany also had early plans to host Euro 2020 in its entirety, but the country never officially expressed interest until May 2012. It dropped that interest once UEFA elected to spread Euro 2020 across multiple countries. </p>
1719.  
1720.  
1721.  
1722. <p>For Euro 2024, UEFA used an anonymous balloting system to choose the host of the tournament. Only seventeen members were granted the opportunity to cast their ballots as to what country would host Euro 2024, as Germany only battled Turkey for hosting duties. The selection of the host took place in Nyon, Switzerland, on September 27, 2018. At twelve votes, Germany was far ahead of Turkey’s four. Therefore, Germany won the right to be the sole host of the European Championship in 2024. </p>

1730. <h2>Which cities and stadiums will host matches in Germany for Euro 2024?</h2>
1731.  
1732.  
1733.  
1734. <p>This year’s event will take place at ten different locations, including the Düsseldorf Arena and nine of the stadiums used during the 2006 World Cup.</p>
1735.  
1736.  
1737.  
1738. <p>In a first, the Munich Football Arena will host matches for the second consecutive <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/how-to-stream-euro-2024-20240107-WST-481041.html">European Championship</a>. The home field of Bayern Munich was one of eleven venues that hosted games in the 2020 UEFA European Championship. Most fans know this stadium as Allianz Arena. Yet, for UEFA’s purposes, no sponsorship names are allowed, so it is known as Munich Football Arena.</p>
1739.  
1740.  
1741.  
1742. <p>Many of the stadiums in use for Euro 2024 belong to the top clubs in Germany. Frankfurt, Cologne, Gelsenkirchen, Leipzig, Stuttgart, and Dortmund are among them, along with Berlin and Munich.</p>
1743.  
1744.  
1745.  
1746. <p>The following locations are hosts:</p>
1747.  
1748.  
1749.  
1750. <ul><li>Berlin: Olympiastadion Berlin (current capacity: 71,000)</li><li>Cologne: Cologne Stadium (43,000)</li><li>Dortmund: BVB Stadion Dortmund (62,000)</li><li>Dusseldorf: Düsseldorf Arena (47,000)</li><li>Frankfurt: Frankfurt Arena (47,000)</li><li>Gelsenkirchen: Arena AufSchalke (50,000)</li><li>Hamburg: Volksparkstadion Hamburg (49,000)</li><li>Leipzig: Leipzig Stadium (40,000)</li><li>Munich: Munich Football Arena (66,000)</li><li>Stuttgart: Stuttgart Arena (51,000)</li></ul>

1791. <p>This summer brings two of the best international soccer competitions, the Euros and the Copa America. One encompasses Europe and the member nations of UEFA. The other tends to focus on just South America and the representatives from CONMEBOL with select other guests joining. The <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/copa-america/copa-america-2024-streaming-and-tv-details-and-schedule/">2024 Copa America</a> does not follow that trend, as a record 16 teams compete, meaning six come from North America. It is a true edition of a tournament involving the top teams from the Americas.</p>
1792.  
1793.  
1794.  
1795. <p>Despite that, the talent on display with a more widespread variety of teams makes the Euros the more enjoyable of the two tournaments, at least for a neutral viewer. The Copa America has some things that Europe struggles to match. For example, the physical battle in South America, highlighted by the frequent matchups between each of these nations, works as one of the Copa America’s biggest selling points. Yet, the parity involved in the widespread ability of the players in Europe makes it more resemble a cup competition in the sense that it is hard to predict who advances.</p>
1796.  
1797.  
1798.  
1799. <p>That comes from several factors. European players often face one another or even play on the same club teams. The concentration of European players in Europe makes them play more frequently, and thus they have a better understanding of one another’s game. Take the England national team as an example. Regardless of the side that Gareth Southgate selects, only two or three players will come from outside the Premier League. Those are Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham, with a potential Jordan Henderson in the mix. By comparison, the most recent Argentina national team squad featured players from seven different countries, and that is likely to go up in the Copa America.</p>
1800.  
1801.  
1802.  
1803. <p>This discrepancy in the spread of players does not directly yield success. However, it is worth considering regarding quickly coming together to compete on an international stage.</p>

1826. <h2>Flair vs drama in Copa America and Euros</h2>
1827.  
1828.  
1829.  
1830. <p>If Brazil and Argentina are always two of the biggest draws for any international competition, then why does the Copa America not bring as much excitement? The Copa America will come down to three or four teams. Having 16 teams affords more parity, as the unknowns become more common at the Euros since the number of teams increased to 24.</p>
1831.  
1832.  
1833.  
1834. <p>Still, the quality of nations like Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, or Colombia outmatches countries like Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, or even strong Venezuela or Ecuador sides. Even though bringing in six nations from North America and the Caribbean is a good move, it does not change the favorites. The United States or Mexico would be candidates to pull off an upset in the group stage or knockout stage. Yet, either of those sides would be hard-pressed to pull off ‘consistent’ enough results to unseat one of the South American powers.</p>

1842. <p>Compare that to the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/uefa-euro/euro-2024-streaming-and-tv-details-and-schedule/">European Championship</a>. There are favorites to win the competition, yes. But it is more widespread. One could make a case for as many as eight teams to win the Euros. England, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Italy, and the Netherlands all have a history of international success. Moreover, a casual fan would have no problem identifying several marquee players on each team. Star power is something that the Copa America has going for it. Lionel Messi, Vinicius Junior, and Luis Diaz are phenomenal players for Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia. However, the European Championship can match those talents and then some.</p>

1853.  
1854.  
1855.  
1856. <p>Eight more teams are competing in the Euros than the Copa America. That means two additional groups of four and an <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tv/fubo-to-stream-every-copa-america-euro-2024-game/">added round of knockout games</a>. One of the criticisms of the 2016 expansion in the Euros was that it watered down the competition. Portugal was the eventual champion of the tournament. It drew each of its group-stage games, advancing as the third-best third-place team in the tournament. Portugal won a singular game in the regular 90 minutes en route to the final.</p>
1857.  
1858.  
1859.  
1860. <p>Yet, having a total of 51 games at the tournament has provided great moments in the last two competitions. Iceland reached the quarterfinals in 2016 as Wales punched its way to the semifinals. Switzerland eliminated France in the round of 16 at Euro 2020. That followed drama in the last matchday as <a href="https://youtu.be/0IeoTHJJ9f4?si=DY3_DuMdaUGM-juo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Denmark squeaked through</a>, a nation that eventually reached the semifinal.</p>
1861.  
1862.  
1863.  
1864. <p>The Copa America with four more teams than normal, could have similar results. Yet, the unpredictable nature of a massive European Championship is sure to produce drama. Plus, the top talents play in effectively every game.</p>

1904. <p>Thursday brings Aston Villa to Athens to take on Olympiacos in Piraeus in Leg 2 of the Europa Conference League semi-finals. The English side trails by two goals after the first leg. Still, the club sitting fourth in the Premier League is rearing for a comeback in Europe.

1916. <p>Villa’s comeback will be one of the storylines to follow in Greece. The main referee for the match recently served a six-month ban for a match-fixing incident in Germany. 42-year-old Felix Zwayer will officiate Thursday’s match. Despite his status as a UEFA “elite category” referee, the German has a checkered past.<br><br>Zwayer’s half-year ban came following his role in a match-fixing penalty in 2005, <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/05/07/aston-villa-olympiacos-conference-semi-referee-match-fixer/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Telegraph</a> reports. Allegations surfaced that Robert Hoyzer, his fellow referee for the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/where-to-watch-the-bundesliga-on-us-tv-and-internet/">Bundesliga</a>, had taken bribes to manipulate games. In their report, Zwayer and three other officials detailed the illicit actions.

1924. <h2>What did Borussia Dortmund players say then?</h2>
1925.  
1926.  
1927.  
1928. <p>Zwayer did not engage in match-fixing himself. Rather, he helped Hoyzer and took a bribe from him, leading to his ultimate punishment in 2005. In an interview, former Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham said: “You can look at a lot of other decisions in the game.</p>
1929.  
1930.  
1931.  
1932. <p>“If you give a referee, who has, you know, match-fixed before, the biggest game in Germany, what do you expect?” The German football federation ultimately fined Bellingham for his remarks.</p>
1933.  
1934.  
1935.  
1936. <p>But that didn’t stop former Dortmund striker Erling Haaland from slamming the referee as well: “As I said he was very arrogant. It seems like he wanted the headlines and he will get them now because he made many mistakes. He was not a good referee. What can I say? Not a good game from him.”</p>
1937.  
1938.  
1939.  
1940. <p>In the aftermath of the scandal, Zwayer stepped away from officiating. In February 2022, he made a comeback in a Europa League quarterfinal match between West Ham and Lyon, angering Moyes. The German booked Moyes for his complaints after the official gave Aaron Cresswell the marching orders.</p>
1941.  
1942.  
1943.  
1944. <p>Zwayer also presided over last summer’s Nations League final, which pitted Spain against Croatia. Among his accomplishments this season are the Europa League triumph for Brighton over Roma and Arsenal’s Champions League win against PSV Eindhoven.</p>

1963. <p>Bayer Leverkusen, for the first time in its history, is the Bundesliga champion. Confirming that status with five games to go in the league, Xabi Alonso’s side <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/xabi-alonso-can-make-history-by-breaking-bayerns-hegemony-20231212-WST-476707.html">broke Bayern Munich’s hegemony</a>. Yet, the more impressive feat is the manner in which the Spanish manager has conducted this German orchestra in 2023/24. Bayer Leverkusen is yet to lose a game <em>in all competitions</em> this season. </p>
1964.  
1965.  
1966.  
1967. <p>Assuming Leverkusen gets past Bochum and Augsburg in the last two matchday, Leverkusen would be the first German club to go an entire league season without a loss. Moreover, it would be the first team in Europe’s top leagues to accomplish the feat since Juventus in 2011/12. However, the more direct comparison for success at Leverkusen this season has been Arsenal, generally seen as the best unbeaten run among Europe’s top leagues. The Gunners did so 20 years before Leverkusen’s current run. </p>
1968.  
1969.  
1970.  
1971. <p>What Bayer Leverkusen has been able to do this season is among the most remarkable feats in modern soccer history. This is not a side rife with expensive signings, nor does it have the history where fans expect this sort of campaign. Bayer Leverkusen is in the middle of the most impressive feat in German soccer history. While there is a case that Arsenal’s accomplishments in the Premier League are more valuable, Bayer Leverkusen’s story is simply worth more plaudits based on the season as a whole.</p>
1972.  
1973.  
1974.  
1975. <p>Arsene Wenger’s Invincibles did something that had not been done in the English top flight in 115 years. Going an entire season without losing a game against the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool was remarkable. Other Premier League sides have come close, including Manchester City’s centurions of 2017/18 that lost just twice. In the following season, Liverpool lost just once. It still failed to lift the Premier League trophy. That indicates how difficult the Premier League is, and how impressive Arsenal’s performance was in its Invincible season. </p>
1976.  
1977.  
1978.  
1979. <h2>European and cup play make a difference in performances</h2>
1980.  
1981.  
1982.  
1983. <p>Even then, Bayer Leverkusen has stretched this unbeaten run beyond just the domestic league. Champions of Germany, Leverkusen is in the semifinals of both the DFB-Pokal and the UEFA Europa League. No team in history has gone undefeated in an entire season when incorporating play in cups and European competition. </p>
1984.  
1985.  
1986.  
1987. <p>Juventus, the last team to go unbeaten in a top European league, lost the Coppa Italia Final to Napoli. Additionally, Juventus did not compete in European tournaments that season. Porto won a treble like Leverkusen is on pace for this season while also going unbeaten in the Primeira Liga. However, that Porto side had losses in the Europa League, Taca de Portugal and the Taca da Liga.</p>
1988.  
1989.  
1990.  
1991. <p>Even Arsenal, with the likes of Thierry Henry, Sol Campbell, Robert Pires and Kolo Toure capitulated in the FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Champions League. Losses will happen, particularly when facing the quality of Arsenal’s opposition. Leverkusen has great players like <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/florian-wirtz-leads-leverkusen-as-best-young-player-in-europe/">Florian Wirtz</a>, Jeremie Frimpong, Alex Grimaldo, Victor Boniface and a rejuvenated Granit Xhaka. Even that talent pales in comparison to Arsenal’s. </p>

1999. <p>Yet, Leverkusen has not had an easy spell of fixtures in its games. Domestically, Leverkusen has done well against both Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. Anyone questioning the quality of the team in the Bundesliga can point to the UEFA Champions League. <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/dortmund-downs-psg-first-champions-league-final-since-2013/">Dortmund just qualified for the Final</a> at Wembley on June 1. Bayern Munich is playing the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tv/real-madrid-vs-bayern-munich-tv-coverage-plans/">second leg</a> of its <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/vinicius-brace-sets-up-do-or-die-semifinal-between-bayern-real/">Champions League semifinal</a> on Wednesday against Real Madrid. In the four league games against those two teams, Leverkusen <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jk_6rVmcMc&amp;pp=ygUYbGV2ZXJrdXNlbiBiYXllcm4gbXVuaWNo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">secured six points</a>.</p>
2000.  
2001.  
2002.  
2003. <h2>Arsenal drew games, and Leverkusen has won games</h2>
2004.  
2005.  
2006.  
2007. <p>As seen, Leverkusen drew three games out of the four against the two German giants. In total, Xabi Alonso’s side has six draws in league play and a further two in the Europa League. In other words, Leverkusen has won 40 out of its 48 games. That is otherworldly. </p>
2008.  
2009.  
2010.  
2011. <p>To once again compare Leverkusen to Arsenal’s 2003/04 campaign, the Gunners had 12 draws in the Premier League. Its point total of 90 that season does not crack the top 10 most points by a club in Premier League history. Leverkusen, on the other hand, can match the 90-point total from Arsenal in 2003/04 if it wins its last two games. Mind you, that features four fewer games than what Arsenal played. </p>
2012.  
2013.  
2014.  
2015. <p>Even though Leverkusen will not set the Bundesliga’s point record for one season, it will be the most impressive campaign in the history of the Bundesliga. So long as there is a case against Arsenal’s achievement in the Premier League, whether that be Manchester City’s 100-point season or Leicester’s stunning title in 2015/16, it cannot rival what Xabi Alonso has done at Leverkusen this season.</p>

2034. <p>Italy’s Serie A season wraps up on May 26, and it’ll also mark the end of the three-year US media rights deal with CBS Sports and Paramount+. Normally that wouldn’t be an issue because leagues often announce the renewal of rights or a new broadcaster several months before a new season begins. However, sources have told <em>World Soccer Talk</em> that Serie A hasn’t agreed to a new US rights deal for the 2024/25 season which is only 101 days away. The future of Serie A on US TV is up in the air.</p>
2035.  
2036.  
2037.  
2038. <p>The delays have caused consternation among fans of Serie A clubs who are worried about the league’s future on US television and streaming. At the same time, sources close to the broadcast discussions have expressed frustration at the slow process of reaching a decision.</p>
2039.  
2040.  
2041.  
2042. <p>In a league featuring American stars such as Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Yunus Musah, and Timothy Weah, the thought of being unable to watch them on US TV or streaming next season is hard to imagine. But unless a decision can be reached soon, soccer fans in the United States continue to sit in a holding pattern.</p>
2043.  
2044.  
2045.  
2046. <h2>Serie A talks with CBS Sports hit an impasse</h2>
2047.  
2048.  
2049.  
2050. <p>The discussions between Serie A and CBS Sports are quite a saga. In September 2023, Executive Vice President and General Manager of CBS Sports Digital Jeff Gerttula <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tv/serie-a-and-cbs-sports-at-stalemate-over-renewal-deal-20231130-WST-474065.html">told</a> <em>World Soccer Talk</em>, “We’re having conversations [about renewing the Serie A deal]. We’ve got a lot of momentum with that property.”</p>
2051.  
2052.  
2053.  
2054. <p>But everything changed in October when Serie A’s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sportspromedia.com/news/serie-a-domestic-broadcast-tv-rights-dazn-sky-2024-29" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">domestic rights deal with DAZN and Sky</a>&nbsp;failed to get the increase in rights fees that the clubs wanted. The deal agreed was a five-year deal worth 4.5 billion euros (approximately $4.91 billion). That’s about half of what the Premier League will earn from its most recent domestic broadcast contract, which runs just four seasons</p>
2055.  
2056.  
2057.  
2058. <p>That disappointing figure put more pressure on Serie A to generate greater revenue overseas. As the top media market in the world, Serie A knew it needed a sharp increase in US rights fees to make up for it. Sources told <em>World Soccer Talk </em>that Italian league executives wanted Paramount+ to pay $150 million/year (CBS Sports is currently paying $75.8 million/year for both Serie A and Coppa Italia). </p>
2059.  
2060.  
2061.  
2062. <p>Surprised by Serie A’s unrealistic expectations of an increase to $150 million/year, sources close to the deal told <em>World Soccer Talk </em>that CBS Sports decided they would not renew the rights.</p>
2063.  
2064.  
2065.  
2066. <h2>Serie A on US TV: ESPN enters the picture</h2>
2067.  
2068.  
2069.  
2070. <p>Months later in 2024, with no deal ironed out, a light at the end of the tunnel appeared. </p>
2071.  
2072.  
2073.  
2074. <p>Subsequently, <em>World Soccer Talk </em>understands that Serie A has received two offers for the rights. One is described by an insider as a “considerable amount,” while ESPN made a substantially lower offer. The considerable offer from CBS Sports isn’t the $150 million/year Serie A wants, but it’s understood to be very reasonable given the circumstances.</p>
2075.  
2076.  
2077.  
2078. <p>Still, however, Italian league executives have stalled on making a decision.</p>
2079.  
2080.  
2081.  
2082. <p><em>World Soccer Talk </em>reached out to Serie A to better understand the reasons for the delay.</p>
2083.  
2084.  
2085.  
2086. <p>“As a standard practice, we do not disclose details of ongoing negotiations until a deal is finalized,” a league spokesperson told <em>World Soccer Talk</em>. “However, rest assured that talks are progressing positively, and we are committed to ensuring that Serie A matches continue to be broadcasted in the United States, a key territory for our strategy due to the presence of four important American players in our Championship and the country where we opened our first foreign office.</p>
2087.  
2088.  
2089.  
2090. <p>“Negotiations are still ongoing with many interested parties and we are confident that a deal will be reached soon.”</p>
2091.  
2092.  
2093.  
2094. <p><em>World Soccer Talk </em>reached out to both CBS Sports and ESPN for comment. A spokesperson for CBS Sports said that the broadcaster’s policy is not to comment on ongoing rights negotiations. Likewise, an ESPN spokesperson said, “We do not comment on our rights discussions with current or potential partners.”</p>

2104. <h2>Serie A success in the USA owes a lot to Paramount+</h2>
2105.  
2106.  
2107.  
2108. <p>In a <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-soccer-og-with-max-bretos/id1555592637?i=1000654239878" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">recent podcast episode</a>, MLS announcer Max Bretos highlighted how important Serie A is to Americans, both on the pitch and in the boardroom as more Americans buy clubs in Italy.&nbsp;Part of that success can be attributed back to CBS Sports who have televised the league for the past three seasons.</p>
2109.  
2110.  
2111.  
2112. <p>“We have to wait and see what happens with the broadcast deal,” said Max Bretos. “Paramount+ does a really nice job with it. They push out their production and send people to the games. I’m not sure if that’s sustainable, but they’re doing it right now, so more power to them. They have Mike Grella, Marco Messina, and Matteo Bonetti [as well as Poppy Miller].”</p>
2113.  
2114.  
2115.  
2116. <p>Paramount+’s coverage of Serie A has been a big hit among soccer fans in the United States who appreciate the level of coverage the league has received. Perhaps the shining moment of this season’s coverage was Paramount+’s <a href="https://twitter.com/CBSSportsGolazo/status/1782515826890781100" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">post-match interview with Marcus Thuram</a>. Marco Messina, who was pitchside at San Siro, beautifully captured Thuram’s excitement at winning the scudetto.</p>

2139. <h2>Future of Serie A US TV talks</h2>
2140.  
2141.  
2142.  
2143. <p>So where does the future of Serie A US TV talks go from here? Serie A officials find themselves in a situation where it’s almost as if they’re waiting for a knight in shining armor to come down at the eleventh hour to make a massive offer.</p>
2144.  
2145.  
2146.  
2147. <p>But delaying the decision limits broadcasters from being able to budget and prepare for the new season.</p>
2148.  
2149.  
2150.  
2151. <p>In its last deal with CBS Sports and Paramount+, Serie A signed the agreement approximately 150 days before the season started. With the clock counting down from 101 days until the 2024/25 season begins in August, let’s hope a decision can be reached soon.</p>

2431. <p>The second leg of the semifinal between PSG and Borussia Dortmund has TV coverage that differs from last week’s first leg. Following Borussia Dortmund’s <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/dortmund-creeps-past-psg-in-champions-league-first-leg/">narrow 1-0 victory</a> over Kylian Mbappe and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/psg-tv-schedule/">PSG</a>, Edin Terzic and company have one foot in the final for the first time since 2013. However, it will need some form of a result at the Parc des Princes to ensure it earns a ticket to Wembley. </p>
2432.  
2433.  
2434.  
2435. <p>In the first leg, coverage was available on both CBS and Paramount+. That is not the case for Tuesday’s game in France. For viewers in the United States, coverage of the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/champions-league-tv-schedule/">UEFA Champions League</a> semifinal between PSG and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/borussia-dortmund-tv-schedule/">Borussia Dortmund</a> is only available on Paramount+, which means there is no over-the-air TV broadcast. Paramount+ has been the home of the Champions League in the United States for several years. As usual, it will have pregame and postgame coverage. </p>
2436.  
2437.  
2438.  
2439. <p>Tuesday’s game kicks off from the Parc des Princes at 3 p.m. ET. However, coverage starts well before then. Also, it goes well after the final whistle. Here is all the information you need ahead of Tuesday’s game in the Champions League semifinals.</p>

2469.  
2470. <p>With the game only airing on Paramount+ at 3 p.m. ET, it makes sense that the buffer coverage is also on Paramount+. This is the only game on Tuesday, with the prematch show of the UEFA Champions League Today starting at 2 p.m., one hour before kickoff. Yet, this program is also available on the free CBS Sports Golazo Network. Similarly, the one-hour postgame program is also available on both Paramount+ and the CBS Sports Golazo Network. </p>
2471.  
2472.  
2473.  
2474. <p>Kate Abdo, Thierry Henry, Micah Richards and Jamie Carragher, back in the studio, will be featuring throughout CBS’s coverage of Tuesday’s game. Peter Schmeichel and Anita Jones will be in Paris to give analysis of both teams before and after the game. Also, Christina Unkel is on standby for officiating controversy. Chris Wittyngham and Ray Hudson, the duo that called the first leg, reprise their roles for this week’s second leg. </p>
2475.  
2476.  
2477.  
2478. <h2>Slim lead for Borussia Dortmund in a hostile environment</h2>
2479.  
2480.  
2481.  
2482. <p>Dortmund’s one-goal lead after the first leg is important, but it is not close to a sure-fire spot in London later this season. This will be the fourth game between Dortmund and PSG this season. In the group stage, PSG and Dortmund drew in Germany. However, on matchday one, PSG defeated Dortmund, 2-0. That result would be enough to send PSG through to the club’s second Champions League Final in its history. </p>
2483.  
2484.  
2485.  
2486. <p>History is not on Dortmund’s side. This is the German side’s fourth time playing away in Paris. It has drawn one game and lost twice, including the fixture earlier this season. In each of those games, Dortmund failed to score. Granted, the last time the UEFA Champions League Final was at Wembley Stadium, Borussia Dortmund played. By chance, if the German side advances, it would set up a potential rematch of the 2013 Final where the Black and Yellows lost to fellow German club Bayern Munich. </p>

2505. <p>Borussia Dortmund’s Managing Director Carsten Cramer sat with reporters from <em>World Soccer Talk</em>, <em>The Athletic</em>, and <em>The Daily Mail </em>to discuss the club’s internationalization plans for the United States.</p>
2506.  
2507.  
2508.  
2509. <p>In a lengthy conversation, the well-respected and forward-thinking German executive discussed the impact of previous players Christian Pulisic and Gio Reyna on merchandise sales, when Dortmund could play next in the United States, plus what makes <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/borussia-dortmund-tv-schedule/">Borussia Dortmund</a> different than other teams.</p>
2510.  
2511.  
2512.  
2513. <p>Here are excerpts from the interview:</p>
2514.  
2515.  
2516.  
2517. <p><strong>Talk to us about Borussia Dortmund and its culture</strong> <strong>as it relates to internationalization in the United States.</strong></p>
2518.  
2519.  
2520.  
2521. <p><strong>Carsten Cramer:</strong> “We were the first German football club who hired an American superstar. [Christian Pulisic] when he started to play for Dortmund wasn’t a superstar. So that is part of the Dortmund DNA as well. We never would hire a superstar. We will try to build a superstar and we won’t be able to buy a Kane but we might be able to develop and educate a Bellingham. </p>
2522.  
2523.  
2524.  
2525. <p>“I would say the superstar is not [a player] wearing a shirt. Our superstar is wearing 25,000 shirts, which is The Yellow Wall, and it’s the craziness, intensity and emotion that people spend to our club. </p>
2526.  
2527.  
2528.  
2529. <p>“To experience Dortmund at its best, you have to be in Signal Iduna Park because that shows you what makes Dortmund so special.”</p>
2530.  
2531.  
2532.  
2533. <p><strong>In the past, you’ve often prioritized Asia over North America, including this summer. Is there an opportunity to come back and play some games in the United States in the future?</strong></p>
2534.  
2535.  
2536.  
2537. <p><strong>Cramer: </strong>“We already played nine games in the US until now. It was our fourth tour last summer.</p>
2538.  
2539.  
2540.  
2541. <p>“Ten years ago when we started our internationalization, I never thought we would play a <a href="https://www.espn.com/soccer/report/_/gameId/669004" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">game against Chelsea</a> [at Soldier Field in Chicago] where maybe 30 percent of the people were wearing black and yellow [shirts]. That’s once more a confirmation that all the investment and effort we have spent in the American Market has been sensible and efficient. </p>
2542.  
2543.  
2544.  
2545. <p>“Of course, we will come as often as possible to the US. It is helpful that we are part of [the 2025] Club World Cup, which is definitely a higher level than playing just some friendlies. But wherever we stayed in the US, whether it was Pittsburgh, San Diego, Las Vegas, Chicago, etc, the people were really attracted by us and it is a sure confirmation for us that we will play more friendlies in the US. And that the Americas are a big focus market for us.</p>
2546.  
2547.  
2548.  
2549. <p>“I am very convinced that the black and yellow story is very unique. There is no one else in black and yellow in international football.”</p>

2558.  
2559.  
2560.  
2561. <p><strong>What have you learned about American soccer fans?</strong><br><br><strong>Cramer: </strong>“I would say they are interested in European football because the reputation of the supporters is still a very good one. They are becoming more interested, and definitely a younger audience than in Germany, as well as a more female audience.” </p>
2562.  
2563.  
2564.  
2565. <p><strong>You talked about how Signal Iduna and The Yellow Wall are such a strong selling point for Dortmund for American fans who have never been there. How are you translating that to them? </strong><br><br><strong>Cramer: </strong>“Talk to [Co-President and Chief Business Officer] Larry Freeman at LAFC. It is no coincidence that the stand behind the goal [at LAFC’s BMO Stadium] is a standing terrace. </p>
2566.  
2567.  
2568.  
2569. <p>“The LA guys came to Dortmund to transfer some European football culture to Los Angeles. The Los Angeles ultras, and the way they celebrate, is something which reflects the Dortmund way. And I think this is a story Dortmund can bring to the people.”</p>
2570.  
2571.  
2572.  
2573. <p><strong>What impact did Christian Pulisic and Gio Reyna have on merchandise sales or kit sales, and how likely would it be that we may see another American play at Dortmund in the future?</strong></p>
2574.  
2575.  
2576.  
2577. <p><strong>Cramer:</strong> “I can’t promise you the next one but I can tell you that our scouting department is always interested in the US market. It’s unbelievable how many talents are growing in the US. And three years ago, we started with women’s football as well. </p>
2578.  
2579.  
2580.  
2581. <p>“It was so helpful that the first potential American superstar, Christian Pulisic, started his career in Dortmund. It was for sure helpful for the merchandising but to be really honest, the peak to benefit from the Pulisic reputation Is always reaching when he’s leaving and when he was moving to Chelsea, similar to [Erling] Haaland [when he moved to Manchester City].</p>
2582.  
2583.  
2584.  
2585. <p>“Pulisic was a big, big win.”</p>

2769. <p>Borussia Dortmund punched a ticket to the UEFA Champions League Final after advancing past PSG on Tuesday. Following the side’s <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/dortmund-creeps-past-psg-in-champions-league-first-leg/">1-0 win in Germany</a>, a draw would have been good enough to reach the final at Wembley on June 1. Yet, Mats Hummels’ second-half goal gave Dortmund a pivotal lead that it sat on for the rest of the game. </p>
2770.  
2771.  
2772.  
2773. <p>PSG hit the post or crossbar four times on the night to make it six times in the semifinals. That was perhaps the difference as PSG failed to score in either leg. Kylian Mbappe, in all likelihood, ends his PSG career in Europe with no more than a trip to the Final in 2020. Instead, it is Dortmund who goes to Wembley. It will be a chance for redemption for Marco Reus in his last game for Borussia Dortmund, where he lost the Champions League Final in 2013. </p>
2774.  
2775.  
2776.  
2777. <h2>BVB’s defense holds PSG without a goal in the semifinals</h2>
2778.  
2779.  
2780.  
2781. <p>The first half lived up to the expectations for Borussia Dortmund. Edin Terzic’s instructions were clear: Defend the lead, and hit PSG on the counter when the time arises. PSG was devoid of any strong chances in the first 45 minutes. Kylian Mbappe had some mazy runs. Neither he nor his PSG teammates did enough. Each shot was either wide or tame enough to be a comfortable save for Gregor Kobel.</p>
2782.  
2783.  
2784.  
2785. <p>The best chance of the first 45 came to Dortmund. A long run starting in the Dortmund half from Karim Adeyemi eventually spilled into the box. Adeyemi, pressured by two PSG defenders, got a strong shot away. Gianluigi Donnarumma got a strong left hand on the ball to deny the attempt. In doing so, he kept PSG’s deficit at one. </p>
2786.  
2787.  
2788.  
2789. <p>To start the second half, PSG came out inspired. Within the first two minutes, PSG struck the woodwork. After a cross from Kylian Mbappe on the left side, the ball popped out to Warren Zaire-Emery. The teenager took the shot first time on the volley from inside the six-yard box. From a tight angle, the Frenchman clanged the ball off the post, and the ball deflected back off him and out for a goal kick.</p>

2796.  
2797. <p>Dortmund capitalized three minutes later. Julian Brandt’s corner toward the back post found a relatively unmarked Mats Hummels. Uncontested, <a href="https://twitter.com/CBSSportsGolazo/status/1787938604943135053" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hummels dunked the ball</a> into the net.

2802.  
2803.  
2804.  
2805. <p>Dortmund hunkered down for the remaining 40 minutes of the contest with a two-goal lead. PSG pressed on by hitting the woodwork for the fourth time in the tie via Nuno Mendes. PSG had a penalty shout in the 65th minute. Hummels brought down Ousmane Dembele, and PSG thought it had a penalty. The referee initially pointed to the spot but then corrected his decision to be a free kick on the edge of the area. The attempt led to nothing, and Dortmund went unscathed. </p>
2806.  
2807.  
2808.  
2809. <p>Gregor Kobel was not as busy as the center-backs in front of him with their clearances. However, the shot-stopper denied Kylian Mbappe from close range to preserve his shutout in the tie. Marquinhos narrowly missed a glancing header on a long free kick in the 80th minute, too. </p>
2810.  
2811.  
2812.  
2813. <p>For a fifth time in the semifinals, PSG hit the frame of the goal. Calamitous defending from Dortmund yielded semblances of chances for a handful of PSG players. Mbappe had the best chance, and his shot bounced into the ground. Kobel stretched his arm out to tip it onto and over the crossbar. Then, in the 88th minute, Vitinha slammed the crossbar. A shot from 24 yards away swerved away from Kobel and banged the woodwork. From an outsider’s perspective, it became apparent that PSG was simply not supposed to win this game. </p>
2814.  
2815.  
2816.  
2817. <p>PSG’s last gasp of a chance came one minute into stoppage time. Kylian Mbappe thought he earned a penalty when Nico Schlotterbeck ushered him off the ball. The referee waved PSG’s claims away, and energy rushed out of PSG’s attack and the stadium entire. </p>

2840. <p>The Bundesliga had something that has never happened in its history occur in the 2023/24 season. Bayer Leverkusen, long ridiculed as Bayer ‘<em>Neverkusen</em>,’ finally won the German top flight. It is the side’s first Bundesliga triumph, and it ended 11 years of Bayern Munich’s dominance in Germany. While Xabi Alonso’s incredible leadership of Leverkusen has taken the plaudits, the rest of the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/bundesliga-tv-schedule/">Bundesliga</a> remains vastly entertaining.</p>
2841.  
2842.  
2843.  
2844. <p>Consistently with one of the top relegation battles in Europe, the German division did not disappoint. Moreover, that extends throughout the top divisions in the country. Only one club in the top flight has suffered a confirmed relegation: Darmstadt. Yet, that makes the last two games of the campaign all the more important. Here is how promotion and relegation look across the top divisions in Germany, including those beneath the Bundesliga.</p>

2861.  
2862.  
2863.  
2864. <p>Only Darmstadt 98, which came up from the second tier after last season, is going down after this campaign thus far. However, FC Koln is on the verge of suffering the same fate. With two games remaining, Koln is five points behind Mainz, who is in 16th. The bottom two clubs in the Bundesliga suffer automatic relegation.</p>
2865.  
2866.  
2867.  
2868. <p>The team finishing 16th enters a two-game playoff against the third-place team from the 2. Bundesliga. As things stand, Bochum and Borussia Monchengladbach are four points ahead of Mainz. Therefore, a win on matchday 33 would guarantee both clubs’ safeties. Likewise, a Mainz loss keeps both those clubs up. Union Berlin, which competed in the UEFA Champions League this season, is not as secure. It is just one point ahead of Mainz. The only way for Union Berlin to ensure safety before the last matchday is to win against Koln in Matchday 33 and have Mainz lose against Borussia Dortmund. Both are certainly within the realm of possibility. However, it could easily go down to the last matchday in the Bundesliga.</p>

Matching or besting Dusseldorf’s result in the next matchday will be enough to get into the Bundesliga. Hamburg is four points back of Dusseldorf in fourth, meaning it needs the team in third to drop points and Hamburg must win its games against Paderborn and relegation candidate Nurnberg to reach the promotion playoffs for the top flight in Germany.</p>

2906.  
2907. <p>The relegation picture is not as clear. A handful of teams are mathematically in the relegation picture, including massive clubs like Kaiserslautern. The team most under pressure is Hansa Rostock, one point off the relegation playoffs and four off automatic safety. However, it has a far worse goal differential than the teams sitting in 16th and 15th in the <a href="https://www.bundesliga.com/en/2bundesliga" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">2 Bundesliga</a> table.</p>

Arminia Bielefeld, if it takes that fourth spot, would suffer back-to-back-to-back relegations after playing in the Bundesliga for two seasons.</p>

2948. <p>Public shareholders of Everton called upon the club’s majority owner, Farhad Moshiri, to stop the sale of the club to 777 Partners. The group called the ‘never-ending’ transaction of the club disrespectful as the future of the club remains unclear. In a letter to Moshiri and the rest of the Everton ownership group, the shareholders’ group said 777 Partners are not a capable steward of the club based on their inability to earn approval for this ownership change.</p>
2949.  
2950.  
2951.  
2952. <p>“We are the oldest Shareholders’ Association in the world and are dismayed by the lack of respect being shown to our football club by the largest shareholder Farhad Moshiri, and the Premier League during what seems a never-ending change of ownership process,” the <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/05/07/farhad-moshiri-777-partners-everton-takeover-shareholders/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Everton Shareholders’ Association said</a>.</p>
2953.  
2954.  
2955.  
2956. <p>“In the absence of the Premier League making a timely decision we insist that the Everton board, and Farhad Moshiri in particular, stop this damaging process now and recognize that 777 Partners are not at this time fit-and-proper prospective owners of Everton Football Club. “</p>
2957.  
2958.  
2959.  
2960. <p>The message from supporters also targeted the Premier League. Everton has been the subject of controversy within the English top flight. Some of that comes in response to the points deductions Everton has picked up this season. Yet, in this most recent message, the group said the Premier League is not fit to regulate ownership change. </p>
2961.  
2962.  
2963.  
2964. <p>“We have observed with concern and frustration as it became increasingly clear that a fit-for-purpose process cannot possibly take this long as the Premier League continues to demonstrate their inability to regulate,” it said.</p>

2970.  
2971.  
2972. <h2>Everton shareholders lament the process that goes back to September with 777 Partners</h2>
2973.  
2974.  
2975.  
2976. <p>The frustration among Everton supporters is evident. While this message is an attack on the Premier League, it slams 777 Partners <em>and </em>Farhad Moshiri. Moshiri, once called the worst owner in the league by Everton supporters, has not changed his mind. It is still at the forefront of Moshiri’s mind to sell the club and get out of Merseyside. Currently, Moshiri owns 94.1% of the club, having acquired much of that stake in 2022.</p>
2977.  
2978.  
2979.  
2980. <p>At times, the deal looked near completion. 777 Partners has secured more loans to help Everton’s finances. Also, one report said the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/big-step-evertons-777-partners-takeover-talks-reach-next-level/">Premier League was nearing approval</a> of the supposed takeover. However, that all came on the back of a litany of legal and financial troubles surrounding 777. Some of those issues included <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/new-twist-in-everton-takeover-777-partners-accused-of-fraud/">several lawsuits</a> against the American investment firm. The group also had issues with some of its other clubs, including a <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/everton-future-in-limbo-as-other-777-club-faces-transfer-ban-20230929-WST-459250.html">transfer ban on Vasco da Gama</a> in Brazil. Finally, 777 Partners failed to disclose a $600 million loss to financial regulators, adding more woes to the ownership group’s openness. </p>
2981.  
2982.  
2983.  
2984. <p>All of this news has happened since the first report of a sale back in September. At the time, Moshiri said 777 Partners would secure the future success of Everton FC. However, all the group has done is add more criticism and issues to the club. Everton will be back on the market in search of a new prospective owner. Even if the shareholders’ group wants Moshiri to back out of the 777 Partners sale, it adamantly wants new ownership soon. </p>
2985.  
2986.  
2987.  
2988. <p>“The powers-that-be are being disrespectful to our fellow shareholders, our fantastic worldwide fan base and football as a whole by continuing to allow this farce to continue. We demand a decision, and we demand it now.”</p>

3007. <p>The approaching Copa America has fans questioning if all tickets are already sold out. With the tournament being held in the United States for the second time, droves of fans are looking to attend games. Additionally, there are more games to attend in the 2024 tournament than ever before. With 16 teams rounding out the Copa America, fans have the option of attending 32 matches spread across 14 venues. Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and the rest of South America travel north to battle for continental supremacy from June 20 to July 14.</p>

Even though official tickets may be harder to come by, there are ample opportunities for fans to get their hands on tickets. If you look in the correct places, there are still affordable options for fans looking to attend.</p>

3015. <p>One of those places is Vivid Seats. Vivid Seats has a 100% buyer’s guarantee that you can purchase tickets and get them before the game. Additionally, Vivid Seats is a partner of World Soccer Talk. Therefore, World Soccer Talk readers get $20 off their first order on the platform. You can find tickets to each of the 32 games throughout the competition from the group stage to the final. For example, you can still purchase tickets to the Copa America Final at Hard Rock Stadium on July 14. Granted, no one knows what teams will be playing. Yet, it is sure to produce drama regardless.</p>

3023. <p>Even though Copa America tickets are not sold out, many things influence ticket prices, including the intrigue of the matchup, the availability of the players, and how much a match means.

3027. <p>Fortunately for <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/copa-america/copa-america-2024-streaming-and-tv-details-and-schedule/">fans in the United States</a>, games spread across the country. While the schedule generally steers clear of northern cities, 13 different areas will host games. That includes major hubs like Los Angeles, New York, Miami and Dallas. Additionally, relatively smaller cities like Austin, Orlando, Kansas City and Charlotte will host games. Most of the venues have hosted major soccer games before, whether that be in the Gold Cup or CONCACAF Nations League or even the 2016 Copa America. Many of those top stars from South America may be returning to those venues.</p>

3220. <h2>How to watch Euro 2024</h2>
3221.  
3222.  
3223.  
3224. <p>In English, Euro games will be on FOX Sports:</p>
3225.  
3226.  
3227.  
3228. <p>All 51 games on Fubo (5 are exclusive to Fubo)<br>FOX network has 29 games<br>FS1 to broadcast 17 games</p>
3229.  
3230.  
3231.  
3232. <p>Fubo will also be streaming every game. Spanish language broadcast rights are with TelevisaUnivision, which includes Univision, TUDN, and the associated streaming service ViX. FOX and Univision networks are carried on <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/channels/fubotv-soccer-schedule/">Fubo</a> and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/channels/directv-stream-soccer-schedule/">DirecTV Stream</a>, and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/channels/sling-blue-soccer-schedule/">Sling Blue</a> carries FOX/FS1.</p>
3233.  
3234.  
3235.  
3236. <p>Each service has a different cost and channel lineup. Fubo is the priciest, but it includes the biggest offering of channels. For soccer fans, this includes beIN SPORTS which shows Ligue 1, Copa Libertadores, and Copa Sudamericana in addition to other competitions.</p>

3246. <h2>What does FOX coverage look like for Euro 2024?</h2>
3247.  
3248.  
3249.  
3250. <p>FOX’s coverage of Euro 2024 is the first time it is broadcasting Europe’s top international competition. While FOX already had the rights to the FIFA World Cup, Women’s World Cup and Copa America, the European Championship presents a new opportunity.</p>
3251.  
3252.  
3253.  
3254. <p>To commemorate the broadcaster’s first instance of hosting the Euros, it is bringing on Giorgio Chiellini as one of the studio analysts. Chiellini won the latest edition of the European Championship with Italy, playing an integral role in the Final against England. Overall, he was the Defender of the Tournament. After that, Chiellini made the switch to the United States, having joined LAFC. He won the MLS Cup in 2022 before finishing as runner-up the following year. He retired at the end of the 2023 campaign.</p>
3255.  
3256.  
3257.  
3258. <p>The full complement of FOX’s studio coverage team will debut as the European Championship approaches. It is likely to feature the regular faces for FOX’s international coverage. It will also be interesting to see how coverage of the Euros aligns with simultaneous coverage of the Copa America.</p>
3259.  
3260.  
3261.  
3262. <p>ViX was launched in 2022 by TelevisaUnivision. Free and premium tiers are available, featuring Spanish-language content. This includes select games from UEFA club and international competitions, Liga MX and Liga MX Femenil, plus the Argentine Primera, Brasileirão, and Colombian leagues.</p>

3270. <h5>EUROPE’S TOP INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION</h5>
3271.  
3272.  
3273.  
3274. <p>The UEFA European Championship (more commonly known as Euro 20XX or Euros) determines the European continental champion. It is the second-most watched soccer event in the world after the World Cup. </p>
3275.  
3276.  
3277.  
3278. <p>To date, ten teams have won the competition – Germany and Spain (three each), Italy and France (two), and one each for the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Netherlands, Denmark, Greece and Portugal. </p>
3279.  
3280.  
3281.  
3282. <p>The tournament is every four years, on even-number years in between World Cups. In 2024, Germany is the host. It will be the first time a reunified Germany is the sole host of the event.</p>
3283.  
3284.  
3285.  
3286. <p>The Olympiastadion in Berlin will host the 2024 final. The venue, built for the 1936 Olympics, has also hosted the 2006 World Cup and 2015 Champions League finals.</p>]]></description>

3301. <p>The Premier League denied an appeal from Nottingham Forest that now upholds the side’s <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/nottingham-forest-suffers-four-point-drop-to-fall-into-bottom-three/">four-point deduction</a>. The club’s financial records indicated it exceeded its loss limit in its first season back in the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/premier-league-tv-schedule/">Premier League</a>. Nottingham Forest was only permitted to lose $77 million, per the Premier League’s regulations. However, major spending amounted to $318 million spent on transfers. As a result, the Premier League docked Forest four points as a violation of its Profitability and Sustainability rules.</p>
3302.  
3303.  
3304.  
3305. <p>On Tuesday, the league upheld that punishment. Initially, Forest accepted the penalty, but it aimed its appeal around reducing the size of the punishment. Previously, the Premier League charged Everton with a <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/everton-receives-record-points-deduction-from-premier-league-20231117-WST-470890.html">10-point knock</a>. Upon appeal, that <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/everton-points-penalty-reduced-to-six-additional-charges-loom-20240226-WST-491699.html">punishment fell to six points</a>. Nottingham Forest <a href="https://twitter.com/SkySportsNews/status/1787806157387518292" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">did not benefit</a> from such a ruling from the Premier League. </p>
3306.  
3307.  
3308.  
3309. <p>Forest’s appeal centered around two factors. On one, the club claimed the Premier League did not factor in the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/brennan-johnson-set-to-join-spurs-in-60-million-deal-20230901-WST-453416.html">sale of Brennan Johnson</a> to Tottenham ahead of the 2023/24 season. Unfortunately for Forest, that sale happened in the new fiscal year for the Premier League. Therefore, the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/epl-clubs-believe-forest-will-soon-be-given-points-deduction-20240220-WST-490682.html">financial losses remained</a>. The second argument for appeal was to distribute the points penalties across multiple seasons. In other words, Forest wanted to suspend some or all of the points deduction while it was in a relegation fight.</p>
3310.  
3311.  
3312.  
3313. <p>With the four-point penalty standing, there is added pressure on Forest for the remainder of the 2023/24 Premier League campaign. Having the points deduction overturned would have been enough to finalize the three teams going down at the end of the season. Currently, Forest is in 17th, three points above Luton Town for the last relegation spot. That hypothetical seven-point gap <em>would</em> have been enough to ensure safety for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side for top-flight soccer next season.</p>

3321. <h2>Premier League relegation fight is alive for Nottingham Forest after appeal</h2>
3322.  
3323.  
3324.  
3325. <p>The big winners from Tuesday’s decision are Luton Town and to a lesser extent Burnley. Having confirmation that the Premier League survival race is certainly a boost to both teams. Even if they need Nottingham Forest to drop points effectively in both games because of goal differential, the pressure on Nottingham Forest will be high. </p>
3326.  
3327.  
3328.  
3329. <p>As things stand, all three clubs have two games remaining. Burnley trails Nottingham Forest by five points. Therefore, Vincent Kompany’s side needs to win both its games against Tottenham and Forest on the final matchday. At the same time, Burnley needs Forest to lose against Chelsea this coming weekend. While a draw would be good enough for the points argument, Burnley’s goal differential is far worse than Forest’s. Therefore, it is unlikely Burnley will stay up, but not impossible.</p>
3330.  
3331.  
3332.  
3333. <p>Luton Town has a better opportunity to retain Premier League status. As Luton trails Forest by just three points, again with a worse goal differential, four points from Forest mathematically guarantees it stays up. In other words, Luton needs Forest to drop points in both games while Luton wins against West Ham and Fulham.</p>
3334.  
3335.  
3336.  
3337. <p>Forest would have welcomed the overturning of its four-point penalty to ensure safety. Regardless, it remains the favorite out of the three clubs in limbo when it comes to staying in the Premier League. </p>

3356. <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>
3357.  
3358.  
3359.  
3360. <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>
3361.  
3362.  
3363.  
3364. <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>
3365.  
3366.  
3367.  
3368. <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>

3567. <p>Crystal Palace held Manchester United to the Red Devils’ first scoreless outing of 2024 with a 4-0 demolition at Selhurst Park. A brace from United transfer target Michael Olise made it 18 points from 11 games under <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/oliver-glasner-lays-out-his-strategy-in-promise-to-palace-fans-20240222-WST-491081.html">new manager Oliver Glasner</a>. In the other dugout, more criticism rises toward Erik ten Hag. After Monday evening’s result, United has won just one game in its last seven Premier League outings. In total, Manchester United has now lost 13 Premier League games. That is the most in the club’s Premier League history.</p>
3568.  
3569.  
3570.  
3571. <p>Only an FA Cup stunner against Manchester City at the end of the season may be enough to salvage this season for United.</p>
3572.  
3573.  
3574.  
3575. <h2>Palace takes advantage of poor Manchester United</h2>
3576.  
3577.  
3578.  
3579. <p><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/manchester-united-tv-schedule/">Manchester United’s</a> defensive inefficacies reappeared after just 12 minutes. A clumsy decision from an out-of-form Casemiro challenged Michael Olise in the middle of the park. The French talent, who is rumored for a move to Manchester United this summer, breezed beyond the sliding Brazilian. No Manchester United player stepped up to defend Olise as he waltzed to the edge of the area. A <a href="https://twitter.com/NBCSportsSoccer/status/1787562332958138559" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">scuffed shot</a> bounced into the ground and past a diving Andre Onana.  </p>
3580.  
3581.  
3582.  
3583. <p>Palace had the better of the ball in the first half, despite Manchester United leading the possession category. United briefly had the ball in the net on a scramble following a corner kick. However, the referee deemed Rasmus Hojlund interfered with Dean Henderson, and the goal did not stand. </p>
3584.  
3585.  
3586.  
3587. <p>Instead, it was Palace to score the next goal via Jean-Phillippe Mateta. Ineffective defending from Manchester United allowed Mateta to cruise into the Manchester United box on a mazy run. The forward pounded the ball into the back of the net to double Palace’s advantage. Manchester United, already under the microscope with a massive dip in form, now trailed against a team in the bottom half of the table by multiple goals.</p>

3595. <h5>From bad to worse for United</h5>
3596.  
3597.  
3598.  
3599. <p>The issues did not stop there for Erik ten Hag and United. A long cross from the right side of Palace’s midfield met a sliding Joachim Andersen in the box. The ball squirmed free and <a href="https://twitter.com/NBCSportsSoccer/status/1787578859568734411" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tyrick Mitchell slid the ball home</a> to make it 3-0 to Palace on the night. </p>
3600.  
3601.  
3602.  
3603. <p>Eight minutes later, Michael Olise secured his brace. After Daniel Muñoz won possession from Casemiro deep in the United half, he passed the ball to Olise. The Frenchman got the ball on his left foot and <a href="https://twitter.com/NBCSportsSoccer/status/1787581214238425273" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">curled a shot</a> into the near side of Onana’s goal. A bad night had turned horrid for United at Selhurst Park. </p>
3604.  
3605.  
3606.  
3607. <h2>Erik ten Hag points to injuries before the game</h2>
3608.  
3609.  
3610.  
3611. <p>United can point to a variety of excuses as to why it capitulated against Crystal Palace on Monday evening. Lack of desire, poor tactics, individually poor performances or even a clinical Palace side. Erik ten Hag, at least before the game, pointed to the injuries that Manchester United is dealing with. For example, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/ten-hag-defends-fernandes-after-man-utd-star-seen-faking-injury-20240229-WST-492203.html">Bruno Fernandes</a> missed a game for the first time in his 13-year professional career. Raphael Varane, Luke Shaw and Scott McTominay have missed extended time with injury. As a result, Manchester United’s squad was remarkably young. Some of the unused substitutes have yet to see first-team action.</p>
3612.  
3613.  
3614.  
3615. <p>However, injuries are something every team deals with. Even long-term injuries are something a team like Manchester United should be able to handle. Real Madrid has been without several top players for the entire season. Yet, Los Blancos are in the UEFA Champions League semifinal. Additionally, they won LaLiga this season. Closer to home, Liverpool’s injuries forced it to depend on new signings and academy call-ups. Say what one will about Liverpool’s curtailing of the season toward the end. Jürgen Klopp did wonders to get that side to third in the Premier League. </p>
3616.  
3617.  
3618.  
3619. <p>Erik ten Hag is losing the patience of supporters and crucially the Manchester United ownership. Sir Jim Ratcliffe has not been shy to speak his mind regarding the future of the Manchester United coaching staff. Had injuries been a problem, quality depth would have been the main focus for Manchester United in the transfer window. Instead, it brought in underwhelming players who have been part of a historically poor season at Old Trafford. </p>

3664. <h5>Annual <strong>Europa League Schedule </strong></h5>
3665. <p>Preliminary rounds begin in July while playoff rounds of the tournament are in August.&nbsp;The group stages of the competition are played from September through December. Round of 16 games are played during February-March, quarter-finals in April, semi-finals in late April and May, while the final is at the end of May.</p>
3666. <h3>Europa League History</h3>
3667.  
3668.  
3669. <p>After the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup was discontinued in 1971–72, the Europa League – then called the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/how-to-watch-europa-league-on-us-tv/">UEFA Cup</a>&nbsp; – was established. Popular during its time, the Fairs Cup was a tournament available to teams from cities that held trade fairs.</p>
3670.  
3671.  
3672.  
3673. <p>The competition became more difficult to manage as the number of teams competing increased, therefore UEFA opted to substitute the UEFA Cup. The event quickly gained a reputation for being very competitive as its popularity soared over the years. In order to keep fans interested, the UEFA Europa League changed its structure many times.</p>
3674.  
3675.  
3676.  
3677. <p>In the past, only the domestic league runners-up were eligible to participate. However, in 1999, it was combined with the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, UEFA’s former inferior European tournament.</p>
3678.  
3679.  
3680.  
3681. <p>Since then, the UEFA Cup has expanded to include the champions of domestic cup tournaments. And those teams that didn’t make it beyond the UEFA Champions League’s third qualifying round could still play in the UEFA Cup.</p>
3682.  
3683.  
3684.  
3685. <p>The same was true for the third-place teams in the UCL group stage. A total of three clubs chosen from the domestic League Cup winners and Fair Play representatives will also be participating.</p>
3686.  
3687.  
3688.  
3689. <h2>Format changes and expansion</h2>
3690.  
3691.  
3692.  
3693. <p>With more clubs from lower levels taking part, the number of teams competing grew, and the competition’s structure underwent many revisions. A group stage, similar to that of the Champions League, was added to the competition in 2004–05 as it grew to include more clubs.</p>
3694.  
3695.  
3696.  
3697. <p>Because of this change, not only was the level of competition raised, but lesser teams were given an equal opportunity to play in the European grand arena.</p>
3698.  
3699.  
3700.  
3701. <h2>Becoming the ‘UEFA Europa League’</h2>
3702.  
3703.  
3704.  
3705. <p>Its current name, the UEFA Europa League, dates back to the 2009–10 championship. Also at this period, the new Europa League replaced the UEFA Intertoto Cup, the third-tier tournament run by UEFA.</p>
3706.  
3707.  
3708.  
3709. <p>The current format calls for qualifying and a play-off to set the scene for the group stage at the beginning of September. Currently, there are 48 teams competing in the group stage. The teams who finish first and second in their respective groups will advance to the knockout round.</p>
3710.  
3711.  
3712.  
3713. <p>Except for the final, every elimination round is a two-legged tie, much as in the Champions League. A year after the tournament ends, the victorious team returns the trophy to UEFA. When the trophy is returned, the club will be allowed to retain a miniature version of it.</p>
3714.  
3715.  
3716.  
3717. <h2>Europa League: 21st century and modern history</h2>
3718.  
3719.  
3720.  
3721. <p>Over the years, the UEFA Europa League has played host to many memorable finals. Amazing comebacks and nail-biting finals have left a lasting impression on football fans from the tournament. As an example, consider <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/liverpool-tv-schedule/">Liverpool</a>‘s 2000–01 season victory against Alaves, in which they rallied from a 3–1 halftime deficit to win 5–4 in a historically exciting final.</p>
3722.  
3723.  
3724.  
3725. <p>Also unforgettable from the 2020–21 campaign was the nail-biting final between Villarreal and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/manchester-united-tv-schedule/">Manchester United</a>, which went to a penalty shootout. In a momentous occasion for the club, Villarreal came out on top, winning their first major European championship.</p>
3726.  
3727.  
3728.  
3729. <p>Winners of the Europa League now get automatic entry to the Champions League group stage, elevating the competition’s profile in recent years. Clubs are much more interested in participating in the tournament now that they may compete against the top teams in Europe.</p>
3730.  
3731.  
3732. <h5>UEFA Club Competitions</h5>
3733. <p>The UEFA Europa League isn’t the only European club competition. UEFA also features the following European football competitions: UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa Conference League.</p>

3815. <p>An average of 2.1 million fans watched the 2023 Final between Manchester City and Inter Milan on CBS in the United States.</p>
3816.  
3817.  
3818.  
3819. <p>The Champions League started out on US TV in the late 1990s on ESPN. During the mid-2000s on ESPN is really when the competition began to become somewhat of a phenomenon in the US for the first time. By 2010 broadcasts shifted to FOX Sports, where UCL games in English would remain for nearly a decade.</p>
3820.  
3821.  
3822.  
3823. <p>In 2018, coverage moved to Turner Sports. English broadcasts on TNT and Bleacher Report Live were not particularly well received, similar to FOX’s tenure with the competition. However Turner’s viewership figures ended up much higher than FOX Sports due to better distribution for their networks.</p>
3824.  
3825.  
3826.  
3827. <p>Meanwhile Univision acquired the Spanish rights, which has proven to be a popular move.</p>
3828.  
3829.  
3830.  
3831. <p>CBS surprisingly swooped in to secure English-language UEFA club competition rights from 2021-24. Comprehensive coverage of games, across Paramount+, CBS Sports Network, and the main CBS Network, have generally been received positively.</p>
3832.  
3833.  
3834.  
3835. <p>Both the CBS and Univision deals have since been extended (through 2029/30 and 2026/27, respectively).</p>

3838.  
3839. <h4>Champions League History</h4>
3840.  
3841.  
3842.  
3843. <p>Midway through the twentieth century, the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/champions-league-tv-schedule/">Champions League</a>‘s history began. In 1930, Swiss club Servette attempted to establish a competition for the continent’s best clubs by fielding a national champions’ team. </p>
3844.  
3845.  
3846.  
3847. <p>Champion teams from the ten most powerful European soccer countries of the time were invited to compete in a competition known as “Coupe des Nations,” which was a huge success. Hungarian club Ujpest won the championship, but despite the tournament’s popularity, it was never held again owing to funding constraints.</p>
3848.  
3849.  
3850.  
3851. <p>Then almost two decades later, a precursor to the Copa Libertadores, the Campeonato Sudamericano de Campeones (South American Championship of Champions) began play in 1948 following years of planning and preparation. The notion of a continental club champions league only captivated French sports writer Jacques Ferran.</p>
3852.  
3853.  
3854.  
3855. <p>Thus, the European Football Association’s official history of the European Cup credits Jacques Ferran and Gabriel Hanot, writers for the French sports daily L’Équipe, as the tournament’s original creators. Hanot had a dream that was realized in 1955 when he saw the first <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/where-to-watch-uefa-champions-league-and-europa-league-on-us-tv-and-internet/">European Cup</a> play.</p>
3856.  
3857.  
3858.  
3859. <p>Meanwhile, Ferran revealed that the South American Championship of Champions provided the impetus for the creation of the European Cup in interviews with the Brazilian sports TV show Globo Esporte in 2015 and the Chilean daily El Mercurio in 2018. “How could Europe, which wanted to be ahead of the rest of the world, not be able to accomplish a competition of the same kind as the South American one? We needed to follow that example,” he said.</p>
3860.  
3861.  
3862.  
3863. <h2>How did the European Cup come to be?</h2>
3864.  
3865.  
3866.  
3867. <p>In April of 1955, officials from Europe’s top clubs got together to draft competitive guidelines. Game one of the inaugural UEFA Champions League, featuring Sporting Club de Lisbon and FK Partizan, has begun. The name “UEFA Champions League” did not appear until much later. The European Champion Clubs’ Cup or European Cup has been the name of this competition from its inception.</p>
3868.  
3869.  
3870.  
3871. <p>The first event included the best clubs in Europe, and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/real-madrid-tv-schedule/">Real Madrid</a> came out on top. This event marked the beginning of a tournament that would come to stand as a benchmark for success and a showcase for thrilling contests.</p>
3872.  
3873.  
3874.  
3875. <p>Early editions of the European Cup used a knockout-style bracket that matched together national champions from different countries. Real Madrid, led by legends like Alfredo Di Stefano and Ferenc Puskas, established early dominance and won the championship five times in a row between 1956 and 1960. It was not until the 1960s, however, that the event was open to more than just the national winners.</p>
3876.  
3877.  
3878.  
3879. <h2>Becoming the ‘UEFA Champions League’</h2>
3880.  
3881.  
3882.  
3883. <p>The 1992 rebranding to the UEFA Champions League was a watershed moment for the event. Many people see the Champions League’s use of groups instead of a round-robin structure as what sets it apart from the European Cup.</p>

3889.  
3890.  
3891. <p>The group stage increased the competition’s competitiveness and gave more teams from around Europe a chance to participate. This broadened the Champions League’s field of participants and paved the way for it to become a worldwide phenomenon.</p>
3892.  
3893.  
3894.  
3895. <p>However, a group stage was implemented in 1991; the name change only formalized the reorganization. The format of the tournament has evolved to include elements of both group play and round-robin play.</p>

3900.  
3901.  
3902.  
3903. <p>During the ’90s and ’00s, the Champions League schedule saw unparalleled levels of acclaim. The introduction of satellite television and other technological developments helped spread the game over the world. The competition was watched by people throughout the globe, not only in Europe. Because of this increase in attention, the Champions League has received significant commercial investment. This has turned it into a successful business with attractive sponsorship agreements and media contracts.</p>
3904.  
3905.  
3906.  
3907. <p>In the minds of soccer fans everywhere, the UEFA Champions League produces legendary occasions. The 2005 final between <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/liverpool-tv-schedule/">Liverpool</a> and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/ac-milan-tv-schedule">AC Milan</a> and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/manchester-united-tv-schedule/">Manchester United</a>‘s last-minute heroics against <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/bayern-munich-tv-schedule/">Bayern Munich</a> in 1999 are just a few instances.

3915. <h2>Teams and styles emerge</h2>
3916.  
3917.  
3918.  
3919. <p>Soccer ideologies and tactical advancements have all met in Champions League games. The tournament showcased emerging playing styles as they became commonplace. In the 1990s, defense dominated as Italian teams controlled Europe. In the mid-2000s, Barcelona showed <em>tiki-taka</em> can beat the best teams with ease. Roberto Baggio’s dominant AC Milan side of the late 1980s and Pep Guardiola’s 2009-11 <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/barcelona-tv-schedule/">Barcelona</a> epitomize these elite squads in the history of the UEFA Champions League.</p>
3920.  
3921.  
3922.  
3923. <p>Contemporary dynasties emerged in European soccer around the start of the 21st century. Real Madrid’s Galacticos era made long-term dominance by teams like Barcelona and Bayern possible. Zinedine Zidane, Luis Figo and Ronaldo exemplified the wave of talent from across the world coming together on one team. However, that Real Madrid side never achieved what became the greatest feat for any club. The best teams of all time won the <em>treble</em>, a collection of three trophies in one season. Those trophies are the domestic league, domestic cup and the UEFA Champions League. Manchester City accomplished this most recently in 2022/23.</p>

3946. <p>Brazil has had a deal with Nike to be the nation’s kit manufacturer since 1996, with the first yellow kit featuring the Swoosh at the 1997 Copa America. Their partnership has built upon what is arguably the most iconic kit in international soccer. Think back to the 1998 and 2002 World Cups when Brazil reached and won the Final, respectively. The yellow kit stood out, and Nike played a role in helping its identity. </p>
3947.  
3948.  
3949.  
3950. <p>However, the agreement between the two may be coming to an end. Competing kit manufacturers are ready to pay more money than Nike to produce Brazil’s national team kits. Currently, Nike is paying $35 million to Brazil each year. However, Brazilian outlet <a href="https://www.uol.com.br/esporte/futebol/colunas/rodrigo-mattos/2024/05/06/cbf-recebe-oferta-de-quase-r-1-bi-para-trocar-nike-adidas-e-puma-no-pareo.htm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">UOL</a> says competitors are ready to pay $197 million for the ability to produce Selecao kits. The company that offered the deal is either Adidas or Puma, but UOL could not decipher which offered such a high fee.</p>
3951.  
3952.  
3953.  
3954. <p>That fee is over five times higher than the deal Nike has used with Brazil in the current contract. Plus, the deal that either Adidas or Puma is offering includes several changes to the current deal with Nike. The biggest of those is royalties on shirt sales. Currently, Nike does not provide any of the sales that it makes on shirt sales for the Brazilian Federation. The CBF has asked Nike to add this to their current contract to meet the standard that clubs exhibit in Brazil. Nike denied this request, and that has pushed Brazil to find a new manufacturer. </p>
3955.  
3956.  
3957.  
3958. <p>Additionally, the new shirt deal would have a stipulation that the kit manufacturer must set up stores to promote sales. In many ways, Nike has not been proactive in building on the massive Brazil brand. Adidas and Puma, at least based on the offer, would be a major jump for Brazil.</p>

3966. <h2>Brazil losing Nike deal is latest change in manufacturers</h2>
3967.  
3968.  
3969.  
3970. <p>Kit manufacturers have been a point of discussion recently, as some of the biggest brands in soccer have changed as to who produces kits. The biggest change was <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/germany-switch-from-adidas-to-nike-key-factor-revealed/">Germany losing its deal with Adidas</a> after Nike offered more money. Adidas had been creating Germany’s kits since 1950, and the shirts worn in the 2026 World Cup will be the last from the Adidas umbrella. </p>
3971.  
3972.  
3973.  
3974. <p>That money may play a role if it is Adidas offering more money to the Brazil Federation to produce kits. However, Adidas turned some of those savings around immediately by winning the manufacturing rights to be <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/liverpool-signs-new-kit-manufacturing-deal-with-adidas/">Liverpool’s kit provider</a>. There was no indication as to how much Adidas paid for the Liverpool kit responsibility. However, it is more than $50 million per year. </p>
3975.  
3976.  
3977.  
3978. <p>With Adidas far more spread out than Puma, Brazil would be another addition to Puma’s international collective. At the World Cup in 2022, six teams wore Puma kits. That included Morocco, Uruguay and Ghana. Puma recently lost the Italy manufacturing job. Therefore, it may be ready to take on another major team like Brazil. Puma’s <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/28/puma-signs-860-million-partnership-with-manchester-city.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">10-year deal with Manchester City</a>, which it signed in 2019, was worth $860 million.</p>

4005. <p>Due to the time differences, the European games run from the morning through late afternoon. Then, Copa América gets going in the evenings.

4300. <p>Chelsea boss Emma Hayes made <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/trophyless-emma-hayes-bizarrely-concedes-wsl-title-early/">previous comments that conceded</a> the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/womens-super-league-tv-schedule/">Women’s Super League</a> title to Manchester City. At the time, Chelsea sat six points behind Manchester City with three matches remaining. City only had two, but the league title was in the Sky Blues’ hands. </p>
4301.  
4302.  
4303.  
4304. <p>“I have amazing memories of this football club and we won a lot of things and I’d love to bring titles again to Chelsea,”&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/SkySportsWSL/status/1785771970904137825" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">stated</a>&nbsp;Hayes. “But that’s not going to be this year I’m afraid. My job now is to prepare the team for the last few games to continue to compete and enjoy.”</p>
4305.  
4306.  
4307.  
4308. <p>That prospect of using the last few games as the Chelsea manager for sentimentality is out the door. Manchester City shockingly dropped points against Arsenal at home. The Gunners scored two goals in the dying minutes to overturn a one-goal lead. In doing so, Arsenal put Chelsea back in the controlling position to win yet another Women’s Super League. Still having a game in hand on Manchester City, Chelsea can rise to the top of the WSL table with a midweek win.</p>
4309.  
4310.  
4311.  
4312. <p>Following Chelsea’s 8-0 win over Bristol City, Chelsea retook the lead in the goal differential department in the WSL. Therefore, if Chelsea wins its midweek game, it will take the lead in the table. Speaking to Chelsea fans after the win, Hayes said the season is not over, despite her earlier concession.</p>
4313.  
4314.  
4315.  
4316. <p>“Let me be clear, it’s not f****** over,” <a href="https://twitter.com/ChelseaFCW/status/1787423091561291932" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hayes told fans at Kingsmeadow</a> on Sunday. “There’s no time for sentimentality, all work drinks are canceled. There’s a title to be won.” It was Hayes’ <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/emma-hayes-set-for-uswnt-job-after-declaring-chelsea-exit-20231104-WST-467320.html">last game as the manager of the Chelsea women’s side</a> before departing for the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/uswnt-tv-schedule/">USWNT</a> post.</p>

4325.  
4326.  
4327.  
4328. <p>Emma Hayes and Chelsea do not have a simple final two games of the WSL season. On Wednesday, Chelsea travels to Tottenham to play its make-up game before the final day of the season. Spurs, a mid-table team in the Women’s Super League, only lost to Chelsea by a single goal earlier in the campaign when the two played at Stamford Bridge. </p>
4329.  
4330.  
4331.  
4332. <p>However, the more challenging of the two games comes in the final matchday. Chelsea travels to Old Trafford to face Manchester United, the club currently sits in fifth in the Super League. It has not been a great season for Manchester United. Yet, the two have already played twice this season. Chelsea came out on top at home in league play. Manchester United, though, defeated the Blues in the FA Cup semifinal, part of the reason Chelsea is yet to win a trophy this season. </p>

4355. <p>The last time Chelsea did not win a trophy in a season was the 2018/19 season. Similar to the 2023/24 campaign, Chelsea reached the semifinals of the FA Cup, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/emma-hayes-wants-sell-out-crowd-for-chelsea-semi-final/">UEFA Women’s Champions League</a> and Women’s League Cup. However, Chelsea came up short in each of those competitions. If Emma Hayes is to prevent that from happening, the title charge starts on Wednesday, May 8. Coverage of the game against Tottenham is available for American audiences on <a href="https://paramountplus.qflm.net/c/330866/1007330/3065" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Paramount+</a>. If Chelsea wins that game, it goes level on points with City with a superior goal differential. In other words, it comes down to the last day of the season.</p>

4374. <p>Even though the 2024 MLS season is roughly one-third of the way through, Lionel Messi is garnering discussion about breaking the MLS goal-scoring record. Lionel Messi’s goal against the New York Red Bulls brought his total up to 10 on the season. Ironically, he is joined at the top of that chart by teammate Luis Suarez, who secured a hat trick against New York on Saturday.</p>
4375.  
4376.  
4377.  
4378. <p>Yes, it is still early in the 2024 MLS season. Yet, there is a chance Lionel Messi will usurp that single-season scoring record in Major League Soccer. Currently, the high mark belongs to Carlos Vela. The Mexican scored 34 goals in the 2019 MLS Season, doing so in 31 MLS games with LAFC. After 12 games in that season, Vela had 13 goals, so he was ahead of the pace Messi is currently on. However, the Argentine has missed four games. Effectively, he is on just over a goal-per-game ratio. In terms of numbers, Messi is scoring 1.25 goals per game, while Vela’s record-breaking season was 1.1 goals per game. That is a slim, arguably marginal difference. However, the pace would be enough for Messi to break the record, assuming he plays enough games.</p>
4379.  
4380.  
4381.  
4382. <p>In that lies the challenge for Messi and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/inter-miami-tv-schedule/">Inter Miami</a> this season. There are no guarantees surrounding how many games Lionel Messi will play in the pink kit of the Florida club. There are several arguments that say <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/how-many-points-do-miami-need-to-qualify-for-mls-playoffs/">as soon as Inter Miami clinches a playoff spot</a>, it should begin to cut Messi’s minutes to ensure he is fit for the playoffs. He has already missed four games this season. Officially, one of those was for rest, but the other three that followed were connected to ever-present muscular problems. </p>
4383.  
4384.  
4385.  
4386. <p>Based on his current ratio, Messi would need to play in 28 MLS games to break Vela’s record and score 35 goals in one MLS season. That assumes he can maintain this remarkable pace, too. It will likely simmer down, but Carlos Vela was a consistent goal-scorer throughout the 2019 MLS campaign. Based on his early success, health may be Messi’s biggest opponent in regard to the record. </p>

4407. <h2>If not MLS goal-scoring record, what else could Messi set?</h2>
4408.  
4409.  
4410.  
4411. <p>If Lionel Messi does not break the goal-scoring record in MLS, there is still the potential for other records for Messi. For example, he is already setting the standard in MLS for the future. Through eight games this season, <a href="https://twitter.com/pkedit/status/1787107729644871828" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Messi broke several records</a>, some of which were single-game records.</p>
4412.  
4413.  
4414.  
4415. <p>Looking back to the 6-2 win over the New York Red Bulls, Messi set the single-game mark for both goal contributions and assists. His five-assist performance at the weekend was the most in MLS history. Combine those with his goal, and no other MLS player has contributed six goals in one game. It was also the sixth game in a row for Messi to amass multiple goal contributions. In his last four games, Messi has contributed 14 goals with the Argentine scoring six and assisting eight in that span. </p>
4416.  
4417.  
4418.  
4419. <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_20240506_WST_505327_Messi-MLS-records-1200x670_60bb2376.webp&amp;width=1200&amp;height=670" alt="" class="wp-image-505328" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Messi-MLS-records-1200x670.jpg 1200w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Messi-MLS-records-300x168.jpg 300w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Messi-MLS-records-768x429.jpg 768w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/Messi-MLS-records.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure></figure>
4420.  
4421.  
4422.  
4423. <p>In total, he has 22 goal contributions through eight games played in MLS. That is a record for eight games in MLS history, with <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/inter-miami-cannot-win-when-lionel-messi-does-not-play/">Miami benefiting greatly</a>. It leads the MLS Eastern Conference with 24 points through 12 games. Moreover, Miami is unbeaten when Messi plays in MLS this season. </p>
4424.  
4425.  
4426.  
4427. <p>Goal contributions are hard to nail down. One assist may be far more impressive than another, much like some goals are penalties and some are world-class efforts. Regardless, MLS attributed five assists to Messi, and that put him atop the MLS assist chart. With 10 assists to go along with his 10 goals, Messi is on track to break the single-season assist record, too. Carlos Valderrama holds that record with 26 assists in 2000. Again, Messi’s current pace would be enough to break that record. It simply comes down to how available Messi is with Inter Miami. </p>

4446. <p>The arrival of May means two things for English soccer. International soccer is just around the corner, and fans are gearing up for Euro 2024. The other is that the conclusion of the league season in England shakes up which teams are playing in certain leagues. In League Two, League One and the Championship, either six or seven teams go up and come down via promotion in relegation. Meanwhile, the Premier League will send three teams down to the Championship, while the two teams from the National League will earn their way into the English Football League.</p>
4447.  
4448.  
4449.  
4450. <p>The excitement of the promotion playoffs is often one of the best spectacles in soccer. In the 2023/24 season, that includes some major teams. Elite sides are returning to certain divisions, while others are reaching new heights in English soccer. Here is how promotion and relegation are shaping out throughout the professional tiers of soccer in England this season. </p>
4451.

4453.  
4454. <h2>Promotion and relegation throughout England in 2023/24</h2>
4455.  
4456.  
4457.  
4458. <h5>The Premier League</h5>
4459.  
4460.  
4461.  
4462. <ul><li>Title: Manchester City, Arsenal or Liverpool</li><li>Relegated: <strong>Sheffield United</strong>, Burnley, Luton Town or Nottingham Forest</li></ul>
4463.  
4464.  
4465.  
4466. <p>No team can earn promotion to a league above the Premier League, so the biggest award for teams in the top flight in England is simply the title. Manchester City is the frontrunner to win its fourth title in a row. Arsenal needs dropped points by City, and Mikel Arteta’s side must win all its remaining games. Liverpool is more or less out of the race, but it is still mathematically involved.</p>
4467.  
4468.  
4469.  
4470. <p>Sheffield United is going down as the bottom team in this season’s Premier League. Likewise, Burnley is joining the Blades in the Championship next season barring two wins for Vincent Kompany’s team and two losses from Nottingham Forest. Luton Town trails Nottingham Forest by three points with two games remaining. As Forest has a superior goal differential, one win from Nuno Espirito Santo’s side should be enough to keep Forest in the Premier League.</p>
4471.  
4472.  
4473.  
4474. <p>Coverage of the Premier League is available on NBC, USA Network and <a href="https://imp.i305175.net/c/330866/1313913/11640" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Peacock</a>.</p>
4475.  
4476.  
4477.  
4478. <h5>The Championship</h5>
4479.  
4480.  
4481.  
4482. <ul><li>Promoted: Leicester City, Ipswich Town</li><li>Playoffs: Leeds United, Southampton, West Bromwich Albion and Norwich City</li><li>Relegated: Birmingham City, Huddersfield Town and Rotherham United</li></ul>
4483.  
4484.  
4485.  
4486. <p>As champions of the Championship, Leicester City is returning to the Premier League at the first time of trying. Joining the Foxes in next season’s top flight is Ipswich Town, which has not played in the Premier League since the 2001/02 campaign. The four-team playoff for the third team joining the Premier League starts on Sunday, May 12. Leeds United, as the third-place team in the Championship, takes on Norwich City in a two-legged affair. Southampton travels to West Brom for the first leg before hosting the Baggies on Friday, May 17.</p>
4487.  
4488.  
4489.  
4490. <p>Each game in the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/championship-tv-schedule/">promotion playoffs for the Championship</a> is available on <a href="https://go.web.plus.espn.com/mWebq" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">ESPN+</a>. The first two legs are both on Sunday, May 12. Then, the return legs at Elland Road and St. Mary’s are the ensuing Thursday and Friday, respectively. The teams that win on aggregate advance to Wembley to play a one-off promotion game on Sunday, May 26.</p>

4517. <ul><li>Promoted: Portsmouth, Derby County</li><li>Playoffs: Bolton Wanderers, Peterborough United, Oxford United and Barnsley</li><li>Relegated: Cheltenham Town, Fleetwood Town, Port Vale, Carlisle United</li></ul>
4518.  
4519.  
4520.  
4521. <p>Pompey is back in the second tier of English soccer after a 12-year absence, while Derby only needed one year to get back into the Championship. The promotion playoffs to join those two teams in the Championship is already underway. Bolton Wanderers won their first game of the semifinals against Barnsley with a convincing 3-1 win at Oakwell. In the other game, fifth-place Oxford United picked up a 1-0 win over Peterborough United before the second leg that Peterborough is hosting. Bolton is hosting Barnsley on Tuesday, May 7, before Peterborough welcomes Oxford on Wednesday, May 8. </p>
4522.  
4523.  
4524.  
4525. <p>Just like the Championship playoffs, both of the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/english-league-one-tv-schedule/">second legs in League One</a> are available on ESPN+. The two teams advancing out of the semifinals will play a single game for promotion at Wembley on Saturday, May 18.</p>

4530.  
4531.  
4532.  
4533. <h5>League Two</h5>
4534.  
4535.  
4536.  
4537. <ul><li>Promoted: Stockport County, Wrexham and Mansfield Town</li><li>Playoffs: MK Dons, Doncaster Rovers, Crewe Alexandra and Crawley Town</li><li>Relegated: Sutton United and Forest Green Rovers</li></ul>
4538.  
4539.  
4540.  
4541. <p>Wrexham continues its climb up the English soccer pyramid after back-to-back promotions. Yet, it is Stockport County which topped League Two this season. Both of the first legs of the League Two Promotion Playoffs were scheduled for Monday, May 6. However, a waterlogged pitch forced a delay between Crawley Town and MK Dons. That game is now on Tuesday, May 7.</p>
4542.  
4543.  
4544.  
4545. <p>Consequently, the second legs are not on the same day. Doncaster Rovers will host Crewe Alexandra on Friday, May 10. The following day, MK Dons and Crawley battle for a spot in Wembley. That game in London determines who joins the other three teams going up to League One. Coverage of <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/english-league-two-tv-schedule/">each game in the League Two Promotion Playoffs</a> is available on ESPN+ as well.</p>
4546.  
4547.  
4548.  
4549. <h5>National League</h5>
4550.  
4551.  
4552.  
4553. <ul><li>Promoted: Chesterfield and Bromley</li></ul>
4554.  
4555.  
4556.  
4557. <p>Chesterfield, having recovered from the difficulties that expelled the club from the EFL for the first time since 1921, is back in League Two as champions of the National League. However, joining Chesterfield in the professional soccer system in England is Bromley. Having <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNVQGsXTErk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">defeated Solihull Moors on penalties</a> at Wembley, Bromley is in the EFL for the first time in the club’s history. </p>

4672. <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>
4673.  
4674.  
4675.  
4676. <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>
4677.  
4678.  
4679.  
4680. <h2>Exact profit will depend on which teams play in Vancouver</h2>
4681.  
4682.  
4683.  
4684. <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>
4685.  
4686.  
4687.  
4688. <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>

4693.  
4694.  
4695.  
4696. <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>
4697.  
4698.  
4699.  
4700. <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>
4701.  
4702.  
4703.  
4704. <h2>Host cities had to agree to FIFA’s strict demands</h2>
4705.  
4706.  
4707.  
4708. <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>
4709.  
4710.  
4711.  
4712. <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>
4713.  
4714.  
4715.  
4716. <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>

4735. <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>
4736.  
4737.  
4738.  
4739. <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>

4830. <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>
4831.  
4832.  
4833.  
4834. <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>
4835.  
4836.  
4837.  
4838. <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>
4839.  
4840.  
4841.  
4842. <h2>Undying love for Premier League amid France talk</h2>
4843.  
4844.  
4845.  
4846. <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>
4847.  
4848.  
4849.  
4850. <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>
4851.  
4852.  
4853.  
4854. <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>
4855.  
4856.  
4857.  
4858. <h2>Chelsea test waters first</h2>
4859.  
4860.  
4861.  
4862. <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>

4867.  
4868.  
4869.  
4870. <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>
4871.  
4872.  
4873.  
4874. <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>
4875.

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>

4901. <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>

4903.  
4904.  
4905. <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>
4906.  
4907.  
4908.  
4909. <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>
4910.  
4911.  
4912.  
4913. <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>
4914.  
4915.  
4916.  
4917. <h2>What did Cremaschi say about the future?</h2>
4918.  
4919.  
4920.  
4921. <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>
4922.  
4923.  
4924.  
4925. <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>
4926.  
4927.  
4928.  
4929. <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>
4930.  
4931.  
4932.  
4933. <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>

4940.  
4941. <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>
4942.  
4943.  
4944.  
4945. <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>
4946.  
4947.  
4948.  
4949. <h2>Cremaschi makes up his mind on dual eligibility</h2>
4950.  
4951.  
4952.  
4953. <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>
4954.  
4955.  
4956.  
4957. <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>
4958.  
4959.  
4960.  
4961. <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>
4962.  
4963.  
4964.  
4965. <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>
4966.  
4967.  
4968.  
4969. <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>
4970.  
4971.  
4972.  
4973. <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>
