  22. <p>A recent advertorial in <em>AdAge</em> describes the Leagues Cup as the “soul of North American Soccer” ahead of the 2024 Leagues Cup. Certainly, the organizers of the CONCACAF Champions Cup, a competition that was originally established in 1962, may have a bone to pick with <a href="https://adage.com/article/marketing-news-strategy/how-mls-and-liga-mx-will-build-year-2-historic-rivalry-leagues-cup-2024/2553641" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">that story</a>.</p>
  23.  
  24.  
  25.  
  26. <p>The article, paid for and approved by Soccer United Marketing (SUM), Major League Soccer’s marketing arm, reads, “Here to showcase the soul of North American soccer, Leagues Cup represents unity off the pitch, rivalry on the pitch and audacity everywhere.”</p>
  27.  
  28.  
  29.  
  30. <p>The competition only started last year, and it found decent success. However, much of that interest came from the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/messi-impact-inter-miami-value-doubled-since-stars-arrival-20240125-WST-485407.html">arrival of Lionel Messi</a> at Inter Miami. The <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/messi-delivers-first-inter-miami-trophy-in-leagues-cup-final-win-20230820-WST-451129.html">Argentine went on to win</a> the inaugural <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/leagues-cup-tv-schedule/">Leagues Cup</a> last year.</p>
  31.  
  32.  
  33.  
  34. <h2>Is the Leagues Cup the ‘soul of North American soccer’?</h2>
  35.  
  36.  
  37.  
  38. <p>SUM paid for the editorial in <em>AdAge</em> to build up anticipation for the competition, which is less than 100 days away. Similarly, SUM published the article to court new advertisers for the competition as well as a way to tell its own story with complete editorial control and approval over the finished article. After all, when you’re paying to have a story published, you can say whatever you want.</p>
  39.  
  40.  
  41.  
  42. <p>While the Leagues Cup encompasses every MLS and Liga MX team, saying it represents unity off the pitch is close-minded regarding North America as a whole. There are far more clubs in North America than just the 47 that took part in the Leagues Cup. The continent of North America also includes nations in Central America and the Caribbean. In total, there are 21 sovereign states in the continent of North America other than the United States, Mexico, and Canada.</p>
  43.  
  44.  
  45.  
  46. <p>The better representation of the <em>soul </em>of North American soccer would be the CONCACAF Champions Cup. Not only does the CONCACAF equivalent to the Champions League feature clubs from every member association. The history of the tournament shows the development of North American soccer over the years. </p>
  47.  
  48.  
  49.  
  50. <p>The Champions Cup is not a perfect tournament, particularly compared to both the UEFA Champions League and the Copa Libertadores. However, several key blemishes also exist within the Leagues Cup that show it is not the ‘soul’ of CONCACAF.</p>
  51.  
  52.  
  53.  
  54. <h2>Lacking the character of a true international tournament</h2>
  55.  
  56.  
  57.  
  58. <p>Having every MLS and Liga MX team compete in one competition is a great way to demonstrate competition between the two leagues. Indisputably, these two leagues top the popularity rankings in North America, and they are likely the best teams in the continent and the Caribbean, too. However, the fact that almost every game of the tournament was played in the United States does little to establish itself as the “soul” of a continent. In 2023 and 2024, Liga MX teams are playing all of its Leagues Cup games in the United States.</p>

  79. <p>Throughout the 2023 tournament, there were iterations of Liga MX sides finding travel issues in addition to playing in front of hostile crowds. <a href="https://en.as.com/soccer/liga-mx-clubs-travelled-twice-the-distance-of-mls-rivals-in-the-leagues-cup-n/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">One report</a> claimed Liga MX sides traveled twice as far on average to play their Leagues Cup games than their MLS counterparts. One notable issue forced a delay in the fixture between Leon and the LA Galaxy. The Mexican team’s <a href="https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/la-galaxy-vs-clubs-leon-leagues-cup-match-rescheduled-for-july-26#:~:text=Club%20Le%C3%B3n&apos;s%20preparations%20for%20the,to%20begin%20West%203%20play." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">charter flight had a mechanical delay</a> that stranded the players and staff at the airport. </p>

Even though it requires teams to go to smaller nations and venues, the CONCACAF Champions Cup goes across the continent. That can make it more compelling for underdog clubs in the tournament. </p>

  87. <h2>Watching the Leagues Cup did not fulfill MLS or Liga MX sides</h2>
  88.  
  89.  
  90.  
  91. <p>Likewise, attendance and viewership for the Leagues Cup were not as strong as SUM would have readers and advertisers believe. The best of the Leagues Cup centered on Lionel Messi. His arrival, not necessarily the Leagues Cup, brought <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/mls-needs-messi-to-renew-contract-to-boost-mls-season-pass-20240306-WST-493433.html">hundreds of thousands of new subscribers</a> to MLS Season Pass. Fittingly, any game he played in on either English- or Spanish-language TV and streaming brought the averages up.</p>

  99. <p>The <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/european-friendlies-more-popular-than-leagues-cup-gold-cup-20230804-WST-447378.html">actual attendance for the Leagues Cup</a> was weak. On average, Leagues Cup games averaged 17,678 people. That was the lowest among the four competitions in the United States last summer. For reference, those were the Leagues Cup, Gold Cup, Premier League Summer Series, and Soccer Champions Tour. To be fair, though, the three other competitions included much larger NFL stadiums. However, the percentage of capacity filled put the Leagues Cup in third out of the four. The Leagues Cup games averaged 75% attendance capacity.</p>
  100.  
  101.  
  102.  
  103. <p>The <em>AdAge</em> article claimed part of the big draw for the Leagues Cup is that “Liga MX is the most-watched league in the United States.” However, that isn’t true. The <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/most-popular-soccer-leagues-in-the-united-states-20240110-WST-481080.html">Premier League overtook Liga MX last year</a> when it comes to popularity in the United States. The Mexican top flight still ranks second in terms of American audiences, but the Premier League continues to grow.</p>
  104.  
  105.  
  106.  
  107. <h2>What is an advertorial?</h2>
  108.  
  109.  
  110.  
  111. <p>Sometimes business or industry publications will offer clients the opportunity to publish an advertorial in a magazine, newspaper, or website. The article looks like a typical article you’ll see, accompanied by a headline, photographs, and copy. But it’s paid for, reviewed, and approved by the client before publication. One of its purposes is to make it look like a real article so that the unsuspecting readers don’t realize they’re reading what is essentially a puff-piece, full of exaggerated praise.</p>
  112.  
  113.  
  114.  
  115. <p>If MLS and Liga MX can find a way to make the Leagues Cup more compelling, it could be the soul of North American soccer. Whether that be more international games or a format change, it is hard to say. However, the second iteration of the Leagues Cup this summer will be a test to see how viable the competition is. </p>

  134. <p>Apple is close to securing a major deal with FIFA to acquire global streaming rights to the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tv/apple-adding-fifa-club-world-cup-could-help-mls-season-pass/">2025 Club World Cup</a> in the United States. If finalized, it would mark Apple’s latest high-profile move into live sports broadcasting after inking deals with <a href="https://tv.apple.com/channel/tvs.sbd.7000?itsct=wst_mls&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=1010l35s4&amp;ct=rvo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Major League Soccer</a>, Major League Baseball, and others. But the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/major-clubs-missing-at-2025-club-world-cup-in-usa/">Club World Cup</a> is just an appetizer – the real question is what bigger competitions Apple may target next in its quest to make Apple TV a dominant platform for streaming sports worldwide.</p>
  135.  
  136.  
  137.  
  138. <p>First, let’s get what likely will not make it on Apple’s service – the&nbsp;English Premier League.&nbsp;As&nbsp;Apple’s services chief Eddy Cue explained,&nbsp;for Apple’s level of investment, obtaining global rights is crucial since they operate in every country. Premier League deals are negotiated on a nation-by-nation basis, making it improbable Apple could obtain true worldwide exclusivity. Similar roadblocks exist for other top European domestic leagues. So, it’s safe, for the time being, to take top European domestic leagues off the table.</p>
  139.  
  140.  
  141.  
  142. <h2>Is the World Cup out of sight for Apple?</h2>
  143.  
  144.  
  145.  
  146. <p>One potential prize for Apple could be future World Cup rights. Despite FIFA’s traditional insistence that the tournament has a free-to-air television offering. With the continued fragmentation of TV viewership and rise of streaming, that long-held policy may be due for revision, opening the door for a deep-pocketed streamer like Apple to make an exclusive play for World Cup 2030 or 2034 rights – at the right price, of course.&nbsp;</p>
  147.  
  148.  
  149.  
  150. <p>If not the World Cup or Europe’s biggest domestic leagues, what other major competitions could entice Apple?</p>
  151.  
  152.  
  153.  
  154. <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_20240423_WST_503040_Kaka-Club-World-Cup-1200x670_9e27bf78.webp&amp;width=1200&amp;height=670" alt="" class="wp-image-503080" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/Kaka-Club-World-Cup-1200x670.jpg 1200w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/Kaka-Club-World-Cup-300x168.jpg 300w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/Kaka-Club-World-Cup-768x429.jpg 768w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/Kaka-Club-World-Cup.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure></figure>
  155.  
  156.  
  157.  
  158. <h2>Other global streaming rights on the table for Apple</h2>
  159.  
  160.  
  161.  
  162. <p>One possibility is the UEFA Champions League rights, which are currently shared by Paramount+, Univision, and others in the U.S. market. Securing exclusive global streaming rights, when they become available again, could allow Apple to capture the viewership around the world’s elite club competition featuring giants like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City and more.</p>
  163.  
  164.  
  165.  
  166. <p>Apple could also look to supplement its MLS deal by going after international rights for elite South American club competitions. For example, the Copa Libertadores is a sensible fit for Apple. These tournaments have passionate global followings. This is particularly true among the large Latino diaspora audiences of key markets like the United States. Adding the Libertadores and other top South American club tournaments to its portfolio allows Apple to market itself as the streaming home of elite club soccer across the Americas.</p>

  183. &nbsp;
  184.  
  185.  
  186.  
  187. <p>Similarly, Apple may target global rights packages for Asia’s top leagues and competitions like the AFC Champions League, Chinese Super League, J-League and more. These could hold appeal not just for audiences across Asia, but also diaspora viewers worldwide – including the lucrative market of South Asians in regions like the Middle East, the UK, Canada and others.</p>
  188.  
  189.  
  190.  
  191. <p>Finally, we have all the competitions from the African continent. Currently, the top club competitions such as the CAF Champions League and Confederations Cup belong to beIN SPORTS in the US. Earlier this year, the big competition in Africa, the Nations Cup, ended up on YouTube worldwide. This is the type of streaming arrangement Apple looks for.</p>
  192.  
  193.  
  194.  
  195. <h5>The Competition</h5>
  196.  
  197.  
  198.  
  199. <p>Any of these potential rights acquisitions wouldn’t come cheap – the competition from other deep-pocketed streamers and broadcasters is intense. Apple’s play for any of these&nbsp;rights draws competing bids from Amazon. Akin to Apple, Amazon has built a major presence in soccer through its current deals. Other tech giants like Google, Facebook and Netflix may enter the fray for each set of rights.</p>
  200.  
  201.  
  202.  
  203. <p>Apple’s vast cash reserves give it arguably unlimited spending power. Yet, the company is also famously judicious with major acquisitions or investments. CEO Tim Cook will need convincing that any nine or ten-figure global rights deal would sufficiently help. That includes boosting Apple TV+ subscriptions, hardware sales and service bundle adoption to justify the cost.</p>
  204.  
  205.  
  206.  
  207. <p>Ultimately, Apple seems motivated to obtain worldwide rights that can drive value across its entire global user base. The fragmented European domestic&nbsp;leagues do not fit Apple’s eye. Going after worldwide rights for other top-tier competitions can accelerate the media conglomerate’s ascension into sports streaming. The same goes for non-soccer properties like international cricket or niche favorites like F1.</p>
  208.  
  209.  
  210.  
  211. <p>Apple has the FIFA Club World Cup&nbsp;and MLS/MLB deals in hand. There is enough content to begin seriously marketing Apple TV+ as a sports-centric streamer. Regardless, bigger game remains to be hunted if the technology titan wants to become the true global sports streaming destination. The chase is underway – and Apple’s willingness to spend big puts every major competition squarely in its sights.</p>

  230. <p>Earlier in the 2023/24 season, Everton announced that it reached a deal with 777 Partners. After all the trials and questions regarding the private investment firm’s finances, the Premier League failed to approve the takeover. That left Everton in limbo after receiving $200 million in loans from 777 Partners, money that it still owes the American firm. </p>
  231.  
  232.  
  233.  
  234. <p>Tariq Panja of the <em><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/22/business/everton-sale-777-partners.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Times</a></em> reported that those close to the situation claim Everton is opening talks with prospective buyers. The American group promised to help the club’s finances with the construction of its new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock. Additionally, the club could be more fruitful in the transfer market to bring in marquee players. Consequently, it would not run the risk of violating financial fair play regulations.</p>
  235.  
  236.  
  237.  
  238. <p>The only issue for 777 Partners is that there was no guarantee it could do those things. The Premier League pointed to the group’s other ownership stakes, including Vasco da Gama. The Brazilian side was <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/everton-future-in-limbo-as-other-777-club-faces-transfer-ban-20230929-WST-459250.html">late on several transfer payments</a>, which eventually led to a ban on all incoming transfers at the club. That does not set the best track record for an Everton side that has dealt with rampant financial struggles in recent years. Looking back to the group’s inability to provide necessary financial documents to the Premier League and the Financial Conduct Authority, issues have plagued this potential takeover.</p>
  239.  
  240.  
  241.  
  242. <p>As a result, Everton is now back on the market. It appears both the club and 777 Partners are in some form of debt, so the relationship is not over between the two. Still, it appears as if Everton will require some form of heavy investment to pull it out of this hole.</p>

  250. <h2>Off-field struggles couple lack of success on the pitch</h2>
  251.  
  252.  
  253.  
  254. <p>A spokesperson for current Everton owner Farhad Moshiri says the deal with 777 Partners is still in place. Not long ago, Moshiri told fans that the deal was in the home straight, but that may have been a hopeful ambition. </p>
  255.  
  256.  
  257.  
  258. <p>Everton’s ownership dilemma has been one of the leading stories in the Premier League for the last several years. <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/evertons-777-takeover-under-extra-scrutiny-20231202-WST-474515.html">Dodgy financial records</a> have led to the Premier League issuing separate points deductions. The first instance saw a 10-point deduction for breaches of profitability and sustainability rules. A successful appeal eventually reduced that down to six. Then, no more than one month ago, the Premier League took off <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/everton-picks-up-a-second-points-deduction-for-ffp-violation/">an additional two</a> points for a separate PSR violation. The six points off of Everton’s point total has forced the Toffees into the relegation race.</p>
  259.  
  260.  
  261.  
  262. <p>As things stand, Everton is just five points above the relegation zone. In fairness, it does have a game in hand on both Luton Town and Nottingham Forest. However, the prospect of <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/everton-set-to-go-into-administration-with-777-takeover-failure/">bankruptcy and administration</a> could plague survival. The aforementioned loan 777 Partners gave Everton helped stave off bankruptcy. Without the Americans’ funds, that administration becomes more of a realistic consequence. </p>
  263.  
  264.  
  265.  
  266. <p>For now, Everton will look to forget its off-field struggles when it plays in the Merseyside Derby on Wednesday. If anything, it can bring Liverpool into Everton’s struggles by ending Liverpool’s title chances.</p>

  285. <p>Chelsea Women’s team head coach Emma Hayes has called on fans to help sell out Stamford Bridge for their next game. The Blues are set to face Barcelona on Saturday, April 27 in the second leg of the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/womens-champions-league-tv-schedule/">Women’s Champions League</a> semifinals. The English side previously edged Barca Women 1-0 at the weekend thanks to a lone goal from Erin Cuthbert.</p>
  286.  
  287.  
  288.  
  289. <p>Chelsea’s recent triumph in Spain was Barcelona’s first defeat on home soil in five years. While Hayes has been with the team for over a decade now, the win was one of her finest moments at the helm. Nevertheless, the job is not quite done yet and the Blues need a positive result on Saturday to advance to the Champions League final. Barca is currently the reigning champions of the competition.</p>
  290.  
  291.  
  292.  
  293. <h2>Emma Hayes hopes for first Stamford Bridge capacity crowd of season</h2>
  294.  
  295.  
  296.  
  297. <p>As of Monday, Chelsea has sold more than 27,000 total tickets for the upcoming massive match. Stamford Bridge currently has a maximum capacity of just over 40,000 people on matchdays. Although the club is quite a bit away from officially selling out its stadium, there is still time for fans to play their part in creating a stellar atmosphere for the game.</p>
  298.  
  299.  
  300.  
  301. <p>Hayes was asked about the possibility of selling out Stamford Bridge on Monday. The coach not only wished the impressive feat would happen, but she claimed that it is crucial to her club. </p>
  302.  
  303.  
  304.  
  305. <p>“It’s essential [that the game is sold out],” <a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/chelsea-fc-vs-barcelona-womens-champions-league-tickets-2024-b1153052.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">proclaimed</a> Hayes.</p>
  306.  
  307.  
  308.  
  309. <p>“Our girls deserve to play in front of a full house to give ourselves the best possible chance. We will need the crowd. Barcelona will throw absolutely everything at us. For us to progress, we need absolutely everything.”</p>
  310.  
  311.

  313. <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_20240423_WST_503036_Chelsea-women-barcelona-1200x670_62431847.webp&amp;width=1200&amp;height=670" alt="" class="wp-image-503064" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/Chelsea-women-barcelona-1200x670.jpg 1200w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/Chelsea-women-barcelona-300x168.jpg 300w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/Chelsea-women-barcelona-768x429.jpg 768w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/Chelsea-women-barcelona.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure></figure>
  314.  
  315.  
  316.  
  317. <p>Chelsea Women’s typical home of Kingsmeadow holds just under 5,000 fans. However, they have played several matches in recent seasons at the usual men’s arena of Stamford Bridge. Attendance figures for the women’s side at the massive arena have fluctuated massively during the current campaign. </p>
  318.  
  319.  
  320.  
  321. <p>For instance, around 3,400 fans purchased tickets for a previous Champions League match against Paris FC in November. Nevertheless, over 32,000 supporters looked on as the women’s team hosted rivals Arsenal in mid-March. This was the closest Chelsea Women has come to selling out Stamford Bridge this season.</p>
  322.  
  323.  
  324.  
  325. <h2>Women’s Champions League title has been the coach’s white whale</h2>
  326.  
  327.  
  328.  
  329. <p>A Chelsea triumph at the weekend would be huge for Hayes. While the legendary coach has collected six <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/womens-super-league-tv-schedule/">Women’s Super League</a> and five Women’s FA Cup titles, she has yet to win a Champions League trophy. Potentially lifting the European title in her final season in charge of the club would be a perfect farewell for the manager. Hayes is set to take over as head coach of the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/uswnt-tv-schedule/">United States women’s national team</a> after Chelsea’s season ends.</p>
  330.  
  331.  
  332.  
  333. <p>Chelsea’s upcoming key fixture with Barca will be shown live on DAZN and DAZN’s official YouTube channel at 12:30 p.m. ET. The winner of the matchup is set to face either Lyon or Paris Saint-Germain in the final on May 25.</p>

  352. <p>The 2030 World Cup will be the first to take place on multiple continents, but Casablanca in Morocco will hold the honor of the first game. A new report out of the African nation says Casablanca will beat out cities in both Spain and Portugal for that responsibility. It will be Morocco’s first time hosting a men’s World Cup. In previous years, Morocco has hosted youth World Cups, and it has long been in the running for the senior tournament. </p>
  353.  
  354.  
  355.  
  356. <p>African publication <em><a href="https://www.jeuneafrique.com/1559675/societe/coupe-du-monde-2030-le-maroc-va-t-il-accueillir-le-match-douverture-ou-la-finale/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jeune Afrique</a></em> is claiming that the division of significant matches in the 2030 World Cup is already underway. With three countries hosting the World Cup for the second year in a row, each country wants as many pivotal games as possible.</p>
  357.  
  358.  
  359.  
  360. <p>The report claims that Casablanca, the largest city by population in Morocco with almost 3.5 million residents, is <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/morocco-pose-strong-2030-world-cup-final-host-threat-to-spain-20231022-WST-464016.html">hosting the opening game</a>. It will thus make Morocco the second African country to host the World Cup. That means Portugal and Spain will be left to grapple for other major games. However, <em>Jeune Afrique</em> states Madrid is the leading candidate to host the 2030 World Cup Final. </p>
  361.  
  362.  
  363.  
  364. <p>FIFA regulations state that the hosts of the World Cup’s opening game and the final must have a capacity of at least 80,000. Lusail Stadium in Doha, Qatar, held just under 89,000 fans. In 2026, MetLife Stadium will host the final with a seating capacity of 82,500.</p>

  370.  
  371.  
  372. <h2>Casablanca and Madrid benefit from lavish stadiums for 2030 World Cup</h2>
  373.  
  374.  
  375.  
  376. <p>As things stand, no stadium in Morocco has a capacity fitting FIFA’s parameters. That will change by 2030, as the African nation has plans to build one of the biggest stadiums in the world. The 115,000-seat stadium is going to begin construction in the coming months. It is unlikely the stadium is ready to host games for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. However, it will be the centerpiece of the reported six venues in Morocco that will host World Cup matches.</p>
  377.  
  378.  
  379.  
  380. <p>Similar to Morocco’s situation, Portugal does not have any stadiums large enough to host the opening game or the final. This means that FIFA will use just three venues in Portugal for contests. Although merely speculation, it is likely Portugal will host several knockout stage games. That ensures equal division of games among the hosts. </p>
  381.  
  382.  
  383.  
  384. <p>That leaves the final to Madrid and Spain. The Spanish hosting group effectively had two venues to choose for the World Cup Final. Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabeu and Barcelona’s Camp Nou are both going to be among the most modern stadiums in the world by 2026. Real Madrid recently completed its renovation at the historic stadium. <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/2030-world-cup-to-offer-potential-relief-to-barcas-financial-woes-20231011-WST-461528.html">Barcelona’s Camp Nou project</a> finishes in June 2026, well before the World Cup. However, Madrid is going to host the Final, per this report. Not only is it the country’s capital. The Santiago Bernabeu hosted the final the last time the World Cup was in Spain. Italy defeated West Germany in 1982.</p>
  385.  
  386.  
  387.  
  388. <h2>South American nations still hosting select games</h2>
  389.  
  390.  
  391.  
  392. <p>Adding to the spread-out nature of this World Cup in 2030, three games out of the 101 for the tournament will be <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/2030-world-cup-to-be-held-across-three-continents-says-fifa-20231004-WST-460289.html">in South America</a>. Montevideo, Buenos Aires and Asuncion will host games for the tournament, and these will likely be in the group stage. Of course, each of those South American nations is likely to play a home game. However, the opposition for those games would be facing <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/leipzig-boss-slams-fifa-for-stupid-multicontinental-world-cup-20231007-WST-461003.html">immense travel issues</a> across the Atlantic Ocean. </p>

  411. <p>A potential upcoming split between <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/manchester-united-tv-schedule/">Manchester United</a> and Marcus Rashford may now be inevitable. The English forward was previously seen as an untouchable player with the Red Devils. After all, he netted 30 goals and added 10 more assists for the club just last season. As a result of his stellar campaign, team executives rewarded Rashford with a massive five-year contract in July.</p>
  412.  
  413.  
  414.  
  415. <p>Nevertheless, things have quickly gone south during the current campaign. The once highly-rated star has only managed to contribute eight goals and five assists on the season. This comes as the club only has a handful of games remaining in 2023/24. </p>
  416.  
  417.  
  418.  
  419. <p>Along with underperforming on the pitch, Rashford also recently received heat for off-field issues as well. The <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/nations/england-national-team-tv-schedule/">England</a> international was <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/rashford-faces-fine-after-skipping-training-for-ridiculous-reason-20240128-WST-486075.html">reportedly</a> fined by club officials after missing a training session back in January. Rashford told the club he was sick but was previously seen in a Belfast club just days prior. Manager Erik ten Hag also criticized Rashford after he was seen partying after a loss to <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/manchester-city-tv-schedule/">Manchester City</a> in October.</p>
  420.  
  421.  
  422.  
  423. <h2>Coventry players reportedly surprised by Rashford’s recent performance</h2>
  424.  
  425.  
  426.  
  427. <p>The latest controversy surrounding Rashford comes after United’s <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/fa-cup-tv-schedule/">FA Cup</a> semifinal against Coventry City. The Red Devils were comfortably up 3-0 in the match before the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/championship-tv-schedule/">Championship</a> side made an epic comeback. Coventry managed to score three second-half goals to take the game to penalties. United would end up edging their opponents in the shootout, but many fans felt that the club’s overall performance was poor.</p>
  428.  
  429.  
  430.  
  431. <p>Rashford found himself at the center of the criticism. <a href="https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/coventry-players-staggered-marcus-rashfords-29042508?_ga=2.37540516.547582840.1713878519-360794733.1713878519" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Reports</a> out of England claim the forward’s poor play shocked the Coventry players. Multiple stars of the opposing club claimed that Rashford was an easy target to neutralize. One Coventry player supposedly sympathized with United fans for the Englishman’s display.</p>

  435. <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_20240423_WST_502998_Untied-Rashford-departure-1200x670_4ff2af0c.webp&amp;width=1200&amp;height=670" alt="" class="wp-image-503037" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/Untied-Rashford-departure-1200x670.jpg 1200w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/Untied-Rashford-departure-300x168.jpg 300w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/Untied-Rashford-departure-768x429.jpg 768w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/Untied-Rashford-departure.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure></figure>
  436.  
  437.  
  438.  
  439. <p>Rashford failed to register a tackle in the game. He was the only outfield player to hold that unwanted statistic. He also recorded the lowest successful passing rate (84%) out of all of his teammates outside of center forward Rasmus Hojlund. As a result of the performance, United supporters booed Rashford regularly throughout the match. This includes after his substitution late in the fixture.</p>
  440.  
  441.  
  442.  
  443. <h2>Rashford linked with PSG as move away from United</h2>
  444.  
  445.  
  446.  
  447. <p>The poor performances mixed with the fan reactions do not make for a healthy situation for the player or club. United officials have publicly denied potentially selling the star at some point this summer. Ten Hag even <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/united-boss-pours-cold-water-on-rashford-move-to-psg/">recently</a> poured cold water on <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/psg-tv-schedule/">Paris Saint-Germain</a>‘s reported interest in Rashford.</p>
  448.  
  449.  
  450.  
  451. <p>Nevertheless, the English side should certainly listen to possible offers for the forward following the end of the season. Not only is the star the target of criticism from his fans. He is not performing on the pitch. One potential stumbling block in a transfer, however, could be Rashford’s wages. The forward is currently raking in around $373,000 per week at United. It remains unclear how many other teams would take on such as massive salary.</p>
  452.  
  453.  
  454.  
  455. <p>Rashford also may not feature for the club during a midweek clash with <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/sheffield-united-tv-schedule-for-us-viewers/">Sheffield United</a>. The star limped off of the pitch at Wembley Stadium and Ten Hag claimed that he was “<a href="https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/team-news-for-man-utd-v-sheffield-utd-in-premier-league-24-april" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">doubtful</a>” for Wednesday’s <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/premier-league-tv-schedule/">Premier League</a> matchup.</p>

  474. <p>Ahead of the 2025/26 season, Liverpool will cancel its manufacturing deal with Nike, instead opting for Adidas. <em><a href="https://www.sportbusiness.com/news/exclusive-liverpool-set-for-adidas-kit-deal-from-next-year/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SportBusiness</a></em> is reporting that <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/liverpool-tv-schedule/">Liverpool</a> will join the German clothing company for five years. In doing so, Liverpool will become the seventh Premier League team to wear Adidas clothing, although that could change at other clubs. Currently, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/arsenal-tv-schedule/">Arsenal</a>, Fulham, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/manchester-united-tv-schedule/">Manchester United</a> and Nottingham Forest wear Adidas kits. Newcastle and Aston Villa are also joining the Adidas ship in 2024/25, one year before Liverpool.</p>
  475.  
  476.  
  477.  
  478. <p>Liverpool has been under the Nike umbrella for a relatively short period. Nike started producing Liverpool’s kits in the 2020/21 season, immediately after the club won its first Premier League title, and 19th English top-flight crown ever. Nike’s takeover came off the back of Liverpool winning a court case against incumbent kit provider New Balance. New Balance claimed matching rights to Nike’s bid. Yet, Liverpool won the case, allowing it to join Nike. That deal expires following the 2024/25 season. Fittingly, Liverpool’s next kit manufacturing deal is also worth five years. </p>
  479.  
  480.  
  481.  
  482. <p>Adidas will be the exclusive provider of Liverpool’s in-game apparel from 2025/26 through the 2029/30 season. There is no official figure for how much Adidas will pay Liverpool each season. Given the rising cost of goods and the growing value of these manufacturing deals, the figure will be high. <em>SportBusiness</em> projects the annual fee to be higher than what it earns currently from Nike. </p>
  483.  
  484.  
  485.  
  486. <h2>Adidas beats the rest to sign lucrative Liverpool deal</h2>
  487.  
  488.  
  489.  
  490. <p>With New Balance, Liverpool earned just over $31 million per season. Currently, Nike pays Liverpool $37 million each season. However, Liverpool also profits from royalties on kit sales, which means the actual figure is above $62 million per year. The total figure from Adidas will likely be higher than that. Still, it is unlikely that Liverpool will earn as much as <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/man-united-secures-over-1-billion-in-renewed-adidas-deal-20230731-WST-446625.html">Manchester United’s record-setting deal</a> with Adidas. The Red Devils pocket over $110 million per season from Adidas, and Liverpool should fall well short of that, according to the report.</p>
  491.  
  492.  
  493.  
  494. <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_20240423_WST_503025_Torres-Liverpool-Adidas-1200x670_ceb9e42d.webp&amp;width=1200&amp;height=670" alt="" class="wp-image-503031" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/Torres-Liverpool-Adidas-1200x670.jpg 1200w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/Torres-Liverpool-Adidas-300x168.jpg 300w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/Torres-Liverpool-Adidas-768x429.jpg 768w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/Torres-Liverpool-Adidas.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure></figure>
  495.  
  496.  
  497.  
  498. <p>Adidas is not new to providing Liverpool with kits. On two occasions, the German manufacturer was the kit provider for the Merseyside outfit. Yet, it has been decades. The most recent stint linking Liverpool and Adidas ran from 2006 through 2012. Those were relatively unsuccessful years for Liverpool which saw it win only the Community Shield and League Cup in Adidas garb. The other instance was from 1985 to 1996. That was far more successful for the Reds. Liverpool won three league titles, three FA Cups and a League Cup in that span. Additionally, Liverpool lifted the Community Shield four times in that run.</p>
  499.  
  500.  
  501.  
  502. <p>While the two have history, Adidas was far from alone in vying for the Liverpool manufacturing deal. According to <em>SportBusiness</em>, Puma was “at the table” in discussions. However, Puma elected to stick with Manchester City as its sole Premier League team. There is no word on whether Nike wanted to re-up on its deal with Liverpool. The American firm just took over the rights to be the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/germany-switch-from-adidas-to-nike-key-factor-revealed/">kit manufacturer for the German national team</a>. Consequently, it replaced Adidas in that role.</p>
  503.  
  504.  
  505.  
  506. <p>That deal with the German soccer association, or DFB, is worth roughly the same as what Nike had been paying Liverpool. The Germany-Nike deal is worth $54.3 million per year in total.</p>

  526. <p>Premier League duo Stuart Attwell and Anthony Taylor have been chosen to officiate at <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/uefa-european-championship-tv-schedule/">Euro 2024</a>. The upcoming tournament features the top national teams across the European continent. UEFA, the governing body of the sport in Europe, selected the controversial tandem to take part in the competition.</p>
  527.  
  528.  
  529.  
  530. <p>Both Attwell and Taylor were recently involved in a <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/forest-asks-pgmol-to-release-var-audio-from-everton-game/">contentious</a> English top-flight matchup between Everton and Nottingham Forest. The Toffees ended up winning the game 2-0, but Forest fumed during and after the fixture for perceived missed calls by the officials. Taylor was the referee on the pitch, while Attwell was on VAR duty.</p>
  531.  
  532.  
  533.  
  534. <p>The East Midlands side believed that they should have had three different penalty kicks throughout the match. Forest even issued a harsh <a href="https://twitter.com/NFFC/status/1782056187652960764" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">statement</a> on social media after the defeat. The club claimed that Attwell is a Luton Town fan and essentially wanted Forest to lose. <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/luton-town-tv-schedule-for-us-viewers/">Luton</a> and Forest are currently fighting for <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/premier-league-tv-schedule/">Premier League</a> survival at the wrong end of the table.</p>
  535.  
  536.  
  537.  
  538. <h2>English tandem involved in several controversies this season </h2>
  539.  
  540.  
  541.  
  542. <p>The latest incident, however, is not exactly the only bit of controversy surrounding Attwell or Taylor. Attwell was previously under fire for his performance in the VAR booth during a matchup between <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/fulham-tv-schedule/">Fulham</a> and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/wolves-tv-schedule-for-us-viewers/">Wolves</a> in November. Wolves manager Gary O’Neil blasted the official for not overturning a late Fulham penalty. The coach also believed that Fulham striker Carlos Vinicius deserved a red card for a headbutt earlier in the game.</p>

  547.  
  548.  
  549.  
  550. <p><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/liverpool-tv-schedule/">Liverpool</a> boss Jurgen Klopp raged at Attwell in March after he failed to intervene in a controversial call during a matchup with <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/manchester-city-tv-schedule/">Manchester City</a>. Replays showed that City winger Jeremy Doku kicked Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister in the chest while inside the penalty area. Referee Michael Oliver did not give the spot kick and Attwell once again failed to intervene. The game eventually ended in a 1-1 draw.</p>
  551.  
  552.  
  553.  
  554. <p>Taylor is also no stranger to controversy as well. The PGMOL sent Taylor down to the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/championship-tv-schedule/">Championship</a> after an incorrect penalty decision in a fixture between Wolves and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/newcastle-united-tv-schedule/">Newcastle</a>. While on assignment in the second tier, Taylor made yet another questionable call to give Preston a penalty kick. Despite back-to-back poor decisions, Taylor returned to the English top flight one week later.</p>
  555.  
  556.  
  557.  
  558. <h2>UEFA defends decision to reward controversial refs</h2>
  559.  
  560.  
  561.  
  562. <p>Fans, players and coaches will not receive rewarding controversial referees with Euro 2024 appearances well. This is particularly the case with officials suffering demotions in their leagues in recent months.</p>
  563.  
  564.  
  565.  
  566. <p>The English duo, however, are not the only controversial figures in the upcoming competition. Germany’s Felix Zwayer will also referee at Euro 2024 despite previously receiving a ban for <a href="https://www.kicker.de/schiedsrichter-duo-steigt-auf-510960/artikel" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">match-fixing</a> back in 2005. Jesus Gil Manzano is the official who controversially <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/what-bellingham-told-referee-per-ancelotti-madrid-to-appeal-20240303-WST-492830.html">blew the full-time whistle</a> too soon during a <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/real-madrid-tv-schedule/">Real Madrid</a> match. UEFA selected him to officiate games.</p>
  567.  
  568.  
  569.  
  570. <p>Nevertheless, UEFA officials have backed their decision regarding referees such as Attwell and Taylor. “We have selected the best referees,” <a href="https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cg30wwjnz27o" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">stated</a> Roberto Rosetti, the governing body’s managing director of refereeing. “All chosen referees have performed consistently to the highest standards in UEFA’s top competitions, and also in their domestic competitions.”</p>

  589. <p>Jose Mourinho remains out of a job following Roma’s sacking of the Portuguese manager. Yet, that does not hinder one of the most successful managers of recent history from making waves. While the former Roma boss seeks his next job, he spoke to <em><a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/04/22/Jose-mourinho-changed-football-trophies-new-club/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Telegraph</a></em> to recount his career and where it has taken him. That has led to Mourinho identifying his highs, lows and where the future of the game lies.</p>
  590.  
  591.  
  592.  
  593. <p>As part of his ever-present knowledge of soccer, Mourinho said managers are constantly working to change the game. Picking out different tactics to find success helps keep things modern. In doing so, smart managers like Mourinho can outwork the rivals from the other dugout. He referenced his appreciation for ‘The Kid,’ Mikel Arteta. The <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/arsenal-hold-manchester-city-as-liverpool-stretch-lead/">scoreless draw against Manchester City</a> was not <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/was-man-city-against-arsenal-a-defensive-jewel-or-drab-draw/#comments-498582-containter">a pretty sight</a>, but he says Arteta’s “magic strategy” of a defensive game earned <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/arsenal-tv-schedule/">Arsenal</a> a valuable point while denying City three.</p>
  594.  
  595.  
  596.  
  597. <p>“In my time, it was not a magic strategy,” Mourinho said, “and I won at Manchester City a few times. But it was not an amazing strategy. It was a defensive game. Park the bus. Park the double bus. It was a different perspective.”</p>
  598.  
  599.  
  600.  
  601. <p>Mourinho has a knack for employing this low block against possession-laden teams like <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/manchester-city-tv-schedule/">Manchester City</a> or <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/barcelona-tv-schedule/">Barcelona</a>. That brought success when he was at <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/chelsea-tv-schedule/">Chelsea</a>, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/inter-milan-tv-schedule/">Inter Milan</a>, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/real-madrid-tv-schedule/">Real Madrid</a>, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/manchester-united-tv-schedule/">Manchester United</a> or Roma. However, he understands that certain situations call for more risk-taking. Mourinho sees one change that no manager would be willing to try that could be the next step for soccer.</p>
  602.  
  603.  
  604.  
  605. <h2>Jose Mourinho brings up tactical change with 11 outfield players</h2>
  606.  
  607.  
  608.  
  609. <p>“Why do you play with a goalkeeper, even if he is good with his feet, almost in the midfield, if you can do that with a proper player?”</p>
  610.

  615.  
  616.  
  617. <p>In a game that demands a result, whether the team is losing and looking for a draw or in need of a win, Mourinho says he would be willing to substitute off his goalkeeper to bring on an extra attacker. It is a way to beat the low block of a club like Arsenal. In a league game, goal differential can make a difference, but leagues and positions come down to points. Oftentimes, one or two points can be the difference between different European competitions. That was the case in 2021/22, when Roma finished one point above Fiorentina in the Serie A table.</p>
  618.  
  619.  
  620.  
  621. <p>“To have an extra player there … when the opposition is very low in the block and 10 minutes left? Let’s try it – yeah!”</p>
  622.  
  623.  
  624.  
  625. <p>“I can see that substitution happening. And the coach who does it will be considered a genius.”</p>
  626.  
  627.  
  628.  
  629. <h2>Mourinho waiting for the right job</h2>
  630.  
  631.  
  632.  
  633. <p>If Jose Mourinho is going to be the one to try this brash new strategy, he will <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/mourinho-ready-for-coaching-return-amid-pressure-on-pochettino/">wait for the right time</a> to enact it. Currently, Mourinho is not part of the rumor mill for any of the big jobs. Moreover, he is not close-minded about his future. Rather than going to a club where the expectation is consistent league titles, Mourinho wants fair expectations.</p>
  634.  
  635.  
  636.  
  637. <p>His Champions League success with Porto in 2002 may show that, with the right team, he can lead a side to success. However, when he took over at Roma, no one expected European cup finals. He delivered two in two seasons before departing in the 2023/24 season.</p>
  638.  
  639.  
  640.  
  641. <p><em>The Telegraph</em> then alluded to the potential vacancies in the Premier League with Brighton and West Ham. Should those sides’ current managers leave, Mourinho could be the difference like he was at Roma. </p>

  660. <p>Aston Villa has announced that Unai Emery has agreed to a new contract extension. The Spanish manager’s previous deal, which was his original agreement, was not set to expire until the summer of 2026. Nevertheless, the coach will now remain in place for an additional year.</p>
  661.  
  662.  
  663.  
  664. <p>Emery has been a resounding success since initially joining <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/aston-villa-tv-schedule/">Villa</a> in November of 2022. The club previously sat 17th in the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/premier-league-tv-schedule/">Premier League</a> table at the time of his arrival to the West Midlands side. The new coach, however, quickly made a massive impact on the squad and the team moved up the standings. Villa eventually finished seventh, qualifying for a European competition, in the 2022/23 season.</p>
  665.  
  666.  
  667.  
  668. <p>“We are enjoying our way together with Villa fans, the club owners, management, and this great group of players that we are proud of,” Emery <a href="https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2024/april/23/unai-emery-agrees-contract-extension/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">stated</a> after making the new deal official.</p>
  669.  
  670.  
  671.  
  672. <p>“Me and the football management… we share the vision of the owners. Nassef [Sawiris] and Wes [Edens] are very supportive and respectful, and we have a good environment and the right structure to develop this football club.”</p>
  673.  
  674.  
  675.  
  676. <h2>Spanish coach has not fared well with massive clubs </h2>
  677.  
  678.  
  679.  
  680. <p>Emery’s decision to re-sign with Villa comes at a time when he was being linked with the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/bayern-munich-tv-schedule/">Bayern Munich</a> job. Thomas Tuchel, despite qualifying for the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/champions-league-tv-schedule/">Champions League</a> semifinals, is set to depart the Bavarian side at the end of the current campaign. Bayern was previously interested in targeting either Xabi Alonso or Julian Nagelsmann. The two highly-rated managers, however, opted to resist the chance to join the German giants.</p>
  681.  
  682.  
  683.  
  684. <p>As a result, Emery quickly became a possible plan C for the previous Bundesliga champions. The Spaniard’s success with Villa is certainly impressive and put Bayern on notice. Nevertheless, he seemingly made a great and courageous decision to remain with his current club.</p>
  685.  
  686.  
  687.  
  688. <p>Emery has found more success in his career with teams not at the top of their respective tables. For instance, he has been a smash hit at clubs such as <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/sevilla-tv-schedule-for-us-viewers/">Sevilla</a>, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/villarreal-tv-schedule/">Villarreal</a> and Aston Villa. The coach even collected major silverware from the two Spanish sides. He now has Villa in the top four of the English top flight, a feat not accomplished by the club since 1983. </p>
  689.  
  690.  
  691.  
  692. <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_20240423_WST_502966_Emery-Villa-training-1200x670_797f3d57.webp&amp;width=1200&amp;height=670" alt="" class="wp-image-502989" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/Emery-Villa-training-1200x670.jpg 1200w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/Emery-Villa-training-300x168.jpg 300w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/Emery-Villa-training-768x429.jpg 768w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/Emery-Villa-training.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure></figure>
  693.  
  694.  
  695.  
  696. <p>However, Emery has stumbled a bit with massive teams. He previously lifted the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/ligue-un-tv-schedule/">Ligue 1</a> title with <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/psg-tv-schedule/">Paris Saint-Germain</a> in 2018, but the French side regularly wins the division. PSG sacked the Spaniard for failures in the Champions League. </p>
  697.  
  698.  
  699.  
  700. <p>He then followed Arsene Wenger at <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/arsenal-tv-schedule/">Arsenal</a> after departing PSG. While succeeding a legendary coach is certainly not easy, Emery buckled under the pressure and only lasted 18 months without a trophy in north London.</p>
  701.  
  702.  
  703.  
  704. <h2>Unai Emery contract extension at Villa could build status in the club’s history</h2>
  705.  
  706.  
  707.  
  708. <p>A club such as Villa is perfect for Emery. He is not under the microscope to win league titles at the helm. Still, the team is big enough to make significant signings and qualify for European competitions. Just nabbing a Champions League spot would be a massive success for Emery at Villa.</p>
  709.  
  710.  
  711.  
  712. <p>The new agreement could also prove to be crucial in holding on to star striker Ollie Watkins. The English forward has <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/ollie-watkins-vying-for-premier-league-player-of-the-season-award/">arguably</a> been the Premier League’s top player of the year and will certainly garner attention in the upcoming transfer market. Nevertheless, Emery will want to keep the star at the club for the 2024/25 campaign.</p>
  713.  
  714.  
  715.  
  716. <p>The Spanish coach could eventually become a legend with the team if he can also lead them to a trophy. Villa has not collected silverware since 1996. However, they now find themselves in the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/conference-league-tv-schedule/">Europa Conference League</a> semifinals under Emery. The club will next face Olympiacos in the competition in early May.</p>

  1072. <p>Ruben Amorim, the leading candidate to succeed Jürgen Klopp at <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/liverpool-tv-schedule/">Liverpool</a>, has reportedly turned his back on that <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/premier-league-tv-schedule/">Premier League</a> job. The Sporting CP boss has been instrumental in the Portuguese side’s recent success. In addition to winning the Primeira Liga in the 2020/21 season with Sporting, Amorim has the side on the path to win the Portuguese top flight this season. As a result, Liverpool wanted to bring Amorim in after showing a smooth attacking nature.</p>
  1073.  
  1074.  
  1075.  
  1076. <p>However, despite having similar philosophies to Klopp and several top talents to work with at Anfield, Amorim is not ready to make that sizeable of a jump in his career. According to David Ornstein of <em><a href="https://theathletic.com/5435225/2024/04/22/west-ham-ruben-amorim-manager-next/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Athletic</a></em>, interest from both sides has fizzled after it looked increasingly likely the Sporting manager would make the move. </p>
  1077.  
  1078.  
  1079.  
  1080. <p>Moving to Liverpool would prove a major risk in the 39-year-old’s managerial career. With instant pressure to compete in both the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League, Amorim would not have ample opportunity to figure out his style of play in England. Oftentimes, managers of the top English clubs flounder under the pressure of prior successes. For example, Unai Emery thrived with Sevilla and did well with PSG. He struggled with Arsenal, which eventually led to his sacking. Now, he is the boss of one of the most impressive sides in the Premier League in Aston Villa, where expectations are not as high.</p>
  1081.  
  1082.  
  1083.  
  1084. <p>Like Emery, Ruben Amorim has done well in a relatively easier competition. Moreover, he has shown that he is a capable manager. This means that Amorim can do well, and perhaps a different Premier League option makes more sense. </p>
  1085.  
  1086.  
  1087.  
  1088. <h2>Ruben Amorim linked to Premier League with West Ham</h2>
  1089.  
  1090.  
  1091.  
  1092. <p>Rather than moving to Merseyside, Ornstein connected Ruben Amorim with West Ham United. The Hammers have had success in recent seasons under David Moyes, which was highlighted by the UEFA Europa Conference last season. However, Moyes has been under constant pressure to continue building on West Ham’s successes. </p>

  1097.  
  1098.  
  1099.  
  1100. <p>Moyes’s contract with West Ham <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/west-ham-stalls-on-renewing-david-moyes-contract-20240212-WST-489140.html">expires at the end of the season</a>. According to reports, including words from Moyes himself, the Scot has a contract offer on the table. Yet, West Ham is not going to commit to any future under Moyes until the 2023/24 season expires.</p>
  1101.  
  1102.  
  1103.  
  1104. <p>That leaves the door open for Amorim. Admittedly an ambitious move for the Portuguese, Amorim and West Ham would be a sensible fit for both the manager and the club. On behalf of West Ham, Amorim would be a young manager who brings a progressive play style to the team. West Ham’s 54 goals in the league season are in the middle of the pack in the Premier League. However, with talents like Jarrod Bowen, Mohammed Kudus and Michail Antonio, West Ham has the chance to have a strong attack. </p>
  1105.  
  1106.  
  1107.  
  1108. <p>For Ruben Amorim, West Ham would likely not be a permanent home. Assume the manager can continue his rapid development as a coach. Taking on elite opposition from the Premier League exposes him to different play styles. Also, he would get firsthand experience coaching against the best soccer players in the world. He would be the level of manager that could have West Ham competing for a spot in the Champions League or Europa League.</p>
  1109.  
  1110.  
  1111.  
  1112. <p>Amorim will be a talking point ahead of West Ham’s next game on Saturday, April 27. Fittingly, that game is against Liverpool.</p>

  1131. <p>US Soccer’s previous request to see the settlement details between FIFA and Relevent has been denied. The <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/us-soccer-continues-relevent-battle-despite-recent-fifa-deal/">settlement removed FIFAt</a> in the case in which Relevent is suing FIFA and US Soccer. Relevent, the media and promotion company based in the United States, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/relevent-lawsuit-us-soccer-fifa-supreme-court/">sought legal action</a> against the two governing bodies. Relevent’s goal is to host competitive soccer games from foreign leagues in the United States. That stems from a proposed match between Girona and Barcelona in January 2019. FIFA and US Soccer shot down that possibility.</p>
  1132.  
  1133.  
  1134.  
  1135. <p>The ensuing legal action from Relevent targets the FIFA rule against competitive matches in other countries. Relevent argued that preventing this contest was a violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act. FIFA and Relevent eventually settled, and the world governing body went as far as to say it would consider changing the policy it has against competitive games.</p>
  1136.  
  1137.  
  1138.  
  1139. <p>Further details regarding that settlement have been kept under wraps while Relevent continues its struggle with US Soccer. What remains certain is that the only defendant in the case is now US Soccer. Originally, the USSF wanted clarification on whether FIFA was still an “indispensable party” in the case. In other words, US Soccer questioned whether FIFA’s participation in the trial was still paramount for it to continue. </p>
  1140.  
  1141.  
  1142.  
  1143. <p>Relevent and FIFA <a href="https://twitter.com/JeffreyCarlisle/status/1782217483296133627" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">denying US Soccer the terms</a> of the settlement is a clear indication that FIFA is no longer an indispensable party. This has several consequences for US Soccer, FIFA, and Relevent. The most concerned of those is US Soccer. </p>

  1155. <p>US Soccer may have been caught relatively off guard by the settlement between FIFA and Relevent. As some have noted, the wording US Soccer used sounded worried about the future of this litigation. To be fair to US Soccer, though, it is smart to seek out as many facts as possible, especially one regarding a settlement. Furthermore, US Soccer could have used some of the details between FIFA and Relevent. </p>
  1156.  
  1157.  
  1158.  
  1159. <p>However, that seems to not be the case. The battle between US Soccer and Relevent now nears the Supreme Court, which will determine if US Soccer went against the Sherman Antitrust Act.</p>
  1160.  
  1161.  
  1162.  
  1163. <p>If the Supreme Court rules there was a violation of the antitrust policies, Relevent would effectively have the green light to host other league’s domestic competitions in the United States. The league already has a connection with LaLiga going back to that aforementioned 2019 game between Girona and Barcelona. Additionally, La Liga summer friendlies in the summer of 2023 included Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, Real Betis and Real Sociedad. Relevent helped organize those games.</p>
  1164.  
  1165.  
  1166.  
  1167. <p>The reason US Soccer is defending against this is to protect domestic soccer. <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/mls-tv-schedule/">Major League Soccer</a>, the USL and other American soccer leagues would have to compete with top European sides in terms of viewership. As seen with the popularity of the schedule of summer friendlies in the United States, Americans want to see the best soccer possible. Competitive games involving European teams from top leagues would be an upgrade over most MLS sides. </p>

  1186. <p>Inter Milan secured the 2023/24 Serie A title with a road win over rivals AC Milan. It is Inter’s first domestic league triumph since the 2020/21 campaign, and it is the club’s 20th top-flight title. Now, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/inter-milan-tv-schedule/">Inter Milan</a> joins <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/juventus-tv-schedule/">Juventus</a> as the only Italian teams to win the top division at least 20 times. Fittingly, Inter Milan broke a tie with AC Milan courtesy of this win over Milan. Entering the season, both Milanese clubs were on 19 titles. Inter currently holds sole possession of second in that department.</p>
  1187.  
  1188.  
  1189.  
  1190. <p>Inter’s title-winning season has long been a forgone conclusion. Entering Monday night’s matchup, Inter held a 14-point gap over Milan with six games remaining. It would take a remarkable dip in form from the Nerazzurri to lose their grip on the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/serie-a-tv-schedule/">Serie A</a> title. Regardless, it was a point of pride for Milan to ensure their biggest rivals did not clinch the title in front of the side’s supporters.</p>
  1191.  
  1192.  
  1193.  
  1194. <p>However, Inter Milan’s 2-1 win locked up Serie A for Simone Inzaghi. Goals from Francesco Acerbi and Marcus Thuram outdid Milan’s lone goal from Fikayo Tomori. With ample supporters in attendance for this ‘road’ game, the black and blue side of Milan began its 2023/24 party on Monday evening.</p>

  1201.  
  1202. <p>As predicted, the Derby della Madonnina had all the drama one would expect. With the added flair of title implications, the team with the better start was always going to impose its dominance. On Monday, that was Inter. A corner kick in the 18th minute from Federico Dimarco met the head of Benjamin Pavard. The right-back flicked the ball into the middle of the box, where no Milan player was defending Francesco Acerbi. The Italian <a href="https://twitter.com/CBSSportsGolazo/status/1782486822486004209" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">dunked the ball in</a> with his head to set Inter on a path to the title. </p>

  1208.  
  1209.  
  1210. <p>Inter had the better chances in the first half, including a shot off the post from Nicolo Barella. But that does not mean Milan was out of the contest. Yann Sommer made two good saves on Rafael Leao and Calabria. However, the end-to-end nature of this derby also led to quick chances from Inter. Mike Maignan did well to keep the game a one-goal deficit at halftime.</p>
  1211.  
  1212.  
  1213.  
  1214. <p>That one-goal deficit became two just four minutes into the second half. A long ball over the top from the Inter defense found Thuram behind the defense. At first, Milan did well to repel the Frenchman. Yet, he skillfully found his way into a scoring area before <a href="https://twitter.com/CBSSportsGolazo/status/1782499757472076003" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lashing his shot</a> to the near post to beat Maignan.</p>

  1218. <h2>Tomori’s goal not enough for Milan as Inter wins Serie A</h2>
  1219.  
  1220.  
  1221.  
  1222. <p>AC Milan had a lifeline back into the game and the league with a goal in the 80th minute. A well-worked play starting from the defense eventually led to a close-range header from Matteo Gabbia. A fantastic save from Sommer deflected off the post where Fikayo Tomori was waiting. The Englishman bundled the ball in with his head, and it was now a one-goal game. Yet, that was the last true chance Milan had in the game.</p>
  1223.  
  1224.  
  1225.  
  1226. <p>As Milan grappled with the impending defeat with next to no time remaining, the game resorted to chaos. Denzel Dumfries and Theo Hernandez got into a scuffle, and the referee brandished both players with a direct red card in second-half stoppage time. In the seventh minute of stoppage time, a wild swing of the fist from Davide Calabria caught Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the face. The referee quickly issued a third red card of the game.</p>
  1227.  
  1228.  
  1229.  
  1230. <p>While it was an ugly end to the game, the result was clear. Inter Milan had won, and in doing so it secured the Scudetto for the 20th time in its history. As a result, Inter will earn a second star on its patch ahead of next season, an award given to a team every time it wins the league on 10 occasions. </p>

  1249. <p>Apple is in talks with FIFA to acquire the global broadcast rights to 2025’s FIFA Club World Cup in the United States. If the deal between FIFA and Apple goes through later this month, the FIFA Club World Cup could be the rocket fuel that MLS (Major League Soccer) needs to drive subscriptions to <a href="https://tv.apple.com/channel/tvs.sbd.7000?itsct=wst_mls&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=1010l35s4" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">MLS Season Pass</a> on Apple TV.</p>
  1250.  
  1251.  
  1252.  
  1253. <p><em>The New York Times</em> indicates that FIFA has had difficulty selling the Club World Cup rights to the competition. The 2025 edition of the FIFA Club World Cup is the biggest ever featuring 32 teams. However, FIFA’s $4 billion valuation of the rights could be sold for a quarter of that, roughly $1 billion. </p>
  1254.  
  1255.  
  1256.  
  1257. <p>“FIFA was hoping that the tournament, which will feature a mix of successful teams from across the globe, including 12 from Europe, where most of the world’s top talent plays, would create huge demand from broadcasters and commercial partners,” wrote reporter Tariq Panja. “But a combination of poor planning and delays prompted broadcasters to balk at the figures FIFA had sought.</p>
  1258.  
  1259.  
  1260.  
  1261. <p>“A global deal with a major company like Apple may give the tournament the veneer of high quality that Infantino has been trying to secure.”</p>

  1282. <h2>How MLS fits into the Apple and FIFA Club World Cup deal</h2>
  1283.  
  1284.  
  1285.  
  1286. <p>The clubs already qualified for the 2025 Club World Cup include several headline acts. Those are Real Madrid, PSG, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Flamengo, Fluminense, and Palmeiras. Unfortunately, Arsenal and Barcelona didn’t qualify. Elsewhere, Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami team is out of the competition after losing in the CONCACAF Champions Cup. Yet, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/how-inter-miami-may-still-qualify-for-fifa-club-world-cup/">Inter Miami could still reach the competition</a> if they win MLS Cup 2024.</p>
  1287.  
  1288.  
  1289.  
  1290. <p>So far, Seattle Sounders is the only MLS team in the Club World Cup. Regardless, if Apple acquires the exclusive global rights to the Club World Cup, this could be the rocket fuel that MLS needs to increase subscriptions to MLS Season Pass.</p>
  1291.  
  1292.  
  1293.  
  1294. <p>Having <a href="https://tv.apple.com/channel/tvs.sbd.7000?itsct=wst_mls&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=1010l35s4" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">MLS Season Pass</a> and a FIFA Club World Cup subscription on the same Apple TV platform will allow Apple to cross-sell both competitions to each audience. For Apple and MLS, it’ll also bring in a whole new audience that’s currently not watching MLS. In addition, having the FIFA Club World Cup on Apple TV will help ease more sports fans into watching soccer on the platform.</p>
  1295.  
  1296.  
  1297.  
  1298. <p>If Apple wants its Apple TV platform to be the future of soccer broadcasting, having the FIFA Club World Cup and MLS available as global deals is certainly heading in the right direction. It’ll also encourage other soccer leagues to consider making global rights a possibility as they contemplate future rights deals.</p>

  1308. <h2>Is the FIFA Club World Cup important enough for fans to care?</h2>
  1309.  
  1310.  
  1311.  
  1312. <p>While the trio of Apple, MLS, and FIFA will certainly be buoyant about how it can exploit the global viewing audience for the tournament, the big question is, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/does-anyone-care-about-the-fifa-club-world-cup-20231215-WST-477204.html">does anyone care about the Club World Cup</a>?</p>
  1313.  
  1314.  
  1315.  
  1316. <p>All of the different iterations of the FIFA Club World Cup have largely been ignored by most soccer fans in Europe. In fact, most European fans see the competition as a glorified friendly. Winning it isn’t that important to them. Conversely, in South America, the competition is seen as hugely important. It’s a matter of pride for fans in South America, who often boast about teams from Brazil winning the contest.</p>
  1317.  
  1318.  
  1319.  
  1320. <p>So, when the 32 teams worldwide start the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, will the competition have enough swagger to get people to pay to watch the games on Apple TV? For instance, will fans of the European clubs care? And if the hardcore fans of clubs won’t care, will the neutrals be that interested either?</p>
  1321.  
  1322.  
  1323.  
  1324. <p>A lot of it will depend on each individual. For Apple, though, it can expect a lot of interest from Brazil, in particular.</p>
  1325.  
  1326.  
  1327.  
  1328. <h2>Could it make a difference in the United States?</h2>
  1329.  
  1330.  
  1331.  
  1332. <p>Perhaps more importantly for Apple and MLS, it can expect a lot of interest from sports fans in North America who value the <a href="https://www.fifa.com/fifaplus/en/tournaments/mens/fifa-club-world-cup" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">FIFA Club World Cup</a> much more than how Europeans rate it.</p>
  1333.  
  1334.  
  1335.  
  1336. <p>Having the global rights to the FIFA Club World Cup could be ideal for Apple. The tech giant can position the competition as bringing the world’s best teams together to crown a world champion. On paper that makes sense, but will it be enough to win over fans or create new ones?</p>
  1337.  
  1338.  
  1339.  
  1340. <p>With World Cup 2026 around the corner, it’s a gamble that FIFA and Apple are willing to take. The consequence could be a big boost for MLS Season Pass which, at last count, had two million subscribers at the end of 2023.</p>

Last season, both Charlotte FC and Atlanta United yielded their biggest crowds of the season with home games against Inter Miami. Now, the New England Revolution figures to do the same when Inter Miami travels north on Saturday, April 27.</p>
  1382.  
  1383.  
  1384.  
  1385. <p>Like Charlotte and Atlanta, New England plays in a stadium traditionally reserved for the NFL. The New England Patriots have no issue selling out Gillette Stadium, but the Revolution do not. In 2023, New England averaged 23,940 fans per game. That is a solid record, but it is the second lowest among the teams that use an NFL stadium for their home games. Now, ticket sales project over 60,000 fans for Inter Miami’s game at Gillette Stadium.</p>
  1386.  
  1387.  
  1388.  
  1389. <p>Single-game tickets for the contest that the Revolution is selling are just about sold out. Single-game tickets are almost sold out (starting at $225), but tickets are available through the secondary market via resellers such as Vivid Seats (where tickets start at $157). Vivid Seats buyers have a 100% buyer’s guarantee, and World Soccer Talk readers can get $20 off their first order by using the promotional code <strong><a href="https://vivid-seats.pxf.io/c/330866/952533/12730?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vividseats.com%2Fnew-england-revolution-tickets-gillette-stadium-4-27-2024--sports-mls%2Fproduction%2F4741515" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">SOCCER20</a>.</strong> You can <a href="https://vivid-seats.pxf.io/c/330866/952533/12730?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vividseats.com%2Fnew-england-revolution-tickets-gillette-stadium-4-27-2024--sports-mls%2Fproduction%2F4741515" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">buy tickets on Vivid Seats</a> any time before the game, but prices may fluctuate as game day nears. </p>

  1400.  
  1401. <p>In total, New England has sold over 60,000 tickets to the game. More of those will go as Saturday nears, meaning that the previous attendance record for fans at Gillette Stadium soccer games will fall. Currently, the record attendance for a soccer game at the stadium is 67,584. Those fans showed out to watch Brazil against Mexico in a 2007 friendly. For the New England Revolution, the attendance record is 61,316. The Revs set that mark way back in 2002 when the Los Angeles Galaxy defeated New England in the MLS Cup Final.</p>

  1467. <p>VAR controversy from the Nottingham Forest game at Everton has led to the former asking for public release of the audio between officials. On Sunday, Nottingham Forest suffered a damaging defeat at Goodison Park against relegation rivals Everton. However, several key decisions went against Forest, and that transpired into the club calling out the Premier League and the Professional Game Match Officials Limited, or PGMOL, which assigns and directs referees. </p>
  1468.  
  1469.  
  1470.  
  1471. <p>Following the loss on Sunday, Forest laid out harsh criticism toward the referee association.</p>
  1472.  
  1473.  
  1474.  
  1475. <p>“Three extremely poor decisions – three penalties not given – which we simply cannot accept,” <a href="https://twitter.com/NFFC/status/1782056187652960764" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Forest said on social media</a>. “We warned the PGMOL that the VAR is a Luton fan before the game but they didn’t change him. Our patience has been tested multiple times. NFFC will now consider its options.”</p>
  1476.  
  1477.  
  1478.  
  1479. <p>It appears one of those options is to press the Premier League into releasing the VAR audio. In <a href="https://twitter.com/NFFC/status/1782414798350643229" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">another social media post</a> on Monday, Nottingham Forest announced that it submitted a formal request to release the audio recordings into the public domain. In particular, Forest highlighted three moments that it believes changed the course of the game. All three of these relate to Everton fullback Ashley Young.</p>
  1480.  
  1481.  
  1482.  
  1483. <p>In the 26th minute, he tackled Gio Reyna from behind. Then, just before halftime, the controversial no-call on a handball in the box happened when the ball clearly struck Young’s hand. Finally, in the 56th minute, Young brought down Callum Hudson-Odoi in the box in what looked like a clear penalty. Center referee Anthony Taylor waved away all three of Forest’s claims. The Tricky Trees lost the game, 2-0.</p>

  1488.  
  1489.  
  1490.  
  1491. <h2>Forest rightly asks for Everton VAR audio</h2>
  1492.  
  1493.  
  1494.  
  1495. <p>Despite Ashley Young playing off the three incidents as ‘correctly given,’ the drama emanating from Sunday’s game speaks volumes about the larger issue. Referee issues and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/is-var-creating-more-controversy-than-it-was-designed-to-avoid-20240303-WST-492792.html">improper use of VAR have plagued the Premier League</a> this season. Earlier in the campaign, Liverpool fell to Tottenham as a result of a massive VAR mistake that <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/premier-league-releases-audio-of-liverpool-var-mistake-20231003-WST-459980.html">wrongfully disallowed a goal</a> for the Reds. As things stand, that single point missed is of huge consequence for Liverpool. Also, Mikel Arteta said <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/arteta-vows-to-continue-speaking-out-for-refereeing-improvement-20231124-WST-472371.html">referees must improve</a> after losing to Newcastle earlier in the season.</p>
  1496.  
  1497.  
  1498.  
  1499. <p>There is no reason the public and Nottingham Forest should not have access to the audio between referees from the Everton game. In the last issue, Anthony Taylor motioned as if Young got the ball when he tackled Hudson-Odoi. If that was the reason for not blowing for a foul, VAR should have recognized that there was no touch on the ball. Communication would go a long way to see how well VAR is doing its job of sorting on-field mistakes.</p>
  1500.  
  1501.  
  1502.  
  1503. <h2>Previous audio has shed light on errors</h2>
  1504.  
  1505.  
  1506.  
  1507. <p>The Premier League released audio for that Liverpool game against Tottenham, and it showed the error in VAR’s ways. Piling the pressure on the PGMOL with audio can hopefully bring more public knowledge about how VAR discussed the Forest loss at Everton. The ensuing consequences of the audio could be dramatic. Those three potential penalty kicks could have been the difference in Nottingham Forest’s season. </p>

  1694. <h3>How can I watch these soccer friendlies if I can’t attend in person?</h3>
  1695.  
  1696.  
  1697.  
  1698. <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>
  1699.  
  1700.  
  1701.  
  1702. <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>
  1703.  
  1704.  
  1705.  
  1706. <h3>How do these friendlies differ from other soccer matches in terms of rules and gameplay?</h3>
  1707.  
  1708.  
  1709.  
  1710. <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>
  1711.  
  1712.  
  1713.  
  1714. <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>
  1715.  
  1716.  
  1717.  
  1718. <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>

  1767.  
  1768.  
  1769.  
  1770. <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>
  1771.  
  1772.  
  1773.  
  1774. <h3>Why do teams play friendlies?</h3>
  1775.  
  1776.  
  1777.  
  1778. <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>
  1779.  
  1780.  
  1781.  
  1782. <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>
  1783.  
  1784.  
  1785.  
  1786. <p>Nowadays, the summer soccer friendlies are an annual tradition in the United States.</p>
  1787.  
  1788.  
  1789.  
  1790. <h3>Who plays in soccer friendlies?</h3>
  1791.  
  1792.  
  1793.  
  1794. <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>
  1795.  
  1796.  
  1797.  
  1798. <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>
  1799.  
  1800.  
  1801.  
  1802. <h3>Do friendlies count?</h3>
  1803.  
  1804.  
  1805.  
  1806. <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>
  1807.  
  1808.  
  1809.  
  1810. <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>

  1848. <p>Coventry’s eventual loss on penalties against <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/manchester-united-tv-schedule/">Manchester United</a> in the FA Cup semifinals was nearly one of the greatest stories in <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/fa-cup-tv-schedule/">FA Cup</a> history. A monumental comeback after trailing 3-0 in the second half led to Coventry scoring a stoppage-time winner in extra time. However, Haji Wright was <a href="https://twitter.com/worldsoccertalk/status/1782095718989107218" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">marginally offside</a> in the buildup to Victor Torp’s goal, and the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/premier-league-tv-schedule/">Premier League</a> side eventually won on penalties.</p>
  1849.  
  1850.  
  1851.  
  1852. <p>Immediately, the debate turned to the <a href="https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/39960844/the-var-review-nottingham-forest-anger-penalty-decisions-grealish-handball" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nature of the offside decision</a> against Wright. Not only did the VAR review require extended time to make a pivotal decision. The length Wright was offside was no more than a few inches. Even with semi-automated offside decision-making coming to the Premier League in the 2024/25 season, this kind of decision will still plague soccer.</p>
  1853.  
  1854.  
  1855.  
  1856. <p>This is not to say semi-automated offside is bad. It is <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/premier-league-offside-technology-will-be-huge-improvement/">a welcome addition to the Premier League</a> because it removes the monotonous and anticlimactic offside reviews VAR mandates. By all accounts, it follows the rule. Haji Wright’s position would be offside, there would just not be a delay. Semi-automated offside may even make these decisions <em>more</em> marginal. Tracking meaningful parts of players, whether that be heads, shoulders, knees or toes, will mean the slimmest of margins will be under the microscope.</p>
  1857.  
  1858.  
  1859.  
  1860. <p>The fact of the matter is that the offside rule forces these decisions. Changing the rule will help defend against these close calls, even when they have effectively no impact on the play. Was Haji Wright’s position in extra time always going to affect the play? Maybe, but it is not as if Wright was racing in behind the defense. Aaron Wan-Bissaka was backtracking, and he eventually caught up in the play. </p>
  1861.  
  1862.  
  1863.  
  1864. <h2>Semi-automated offside decisions, or a change of the rule entire?</h2>
  1865.  
  1866.  
  1867.  
  1868. <p>Sunday saw a great FA Cup moment ruined by a narrow decision. As stated, the call was the correct one. Wright was offside upon a VAR review, and the referees took the goal away. That is why allowing a cushion, or a margin for error for video assistant referees, can help make this process better.</p>
  1869.  
  1870.  
  1871.  
  1872. <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_20240422_WST_502719_Coventry-winner-United-1200x670_fc2e3256.webp&amp;width=1200&amp;height=670" alt="" class="wp-image-502720" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/Coventry-winner-United-1200x670.jpg 1200w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/Coventry-winner-United-300x168.jpg 300w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/Coventry-winner-United-768x429.jpg 768w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/Coventry-winner-United.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure></figure>
  1873.  
  1874.  
  1875.  
  1876. <p>The minuscule lines of often-pixelated decisions need to incorporate leeway. When a decision is this tight, it is a challenge to identify several variables. For one, when is the ball played? The freeze frames VAR uses depend on a split-second moment when an attacker plays a ball. That could be one frame when it looks like the ball is being hit, or it could be the frame after that in the VAR review when the ball starts moving. As seen with the Coventry City goal, those make a difference. In one frame, Wright was onside. In the next, he was offside. </p>
  1877.  
  1878.  
  1879.  
  1880. <p>Punishing Coventry for the determination that the ball was ‘played’ at a certain millisecond as opposed to another is incredibly harsh. It is one thing to get the call correct, but doing so at the expense of a scientific examination into when a ball moves and when a player runs is impossible. </p>
  1881.  
  1882.  
  1883.  
  1884. <p>The Wenger Rule for offside has been a hot topic following the FA Cup semifinals. The former Arsenal manager advocates for the full body of a player being offside rather than just a piece of him. In theory, this would produce more goals. However, the same issues would arise as attackers looking to run in behind the defense would time up their toes to be in line with defenders at the time a ball is played. Therefore, it is not the perfect solution.</p>

  1908.  
  1909.  
  1910.  
  1911. <p>The purpose of the Wenger Rule is to give the benefit of the doubt to forwards. There is an argument there. Fans want to see more goals. Manchester City’s scoreless draw with Arsenal a few weeks back may have had <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tv/man-city-arsenal-sets-premier-league-viewership-record-in-us/">millions of viewers in the United States</a>, but they were all left disappointed by the lack of scoring. By contrast, the 3-3 game that required penalties had fans on the edge of their seats.</p>
  1912.  
  1913.  
  1914.  
  1915. <p>Modifying the offside rule to give attackers the edge may sting some fans. It will help more goals throughout soccer. Semi-automated offside decisions will continue to benefit the lackluster offside decisions that turn neutrals away.</p>

  1940. <p>Are you tired of waiting for Copa America tickets to go on sale? CONMEBOL originally planned to put them on sale in <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/when-do-copa-america-tickets-go-on-sale-20231209-WST-476043.html">mid-January</a>, but due to further planning delays by CONMEBOL, the tickets will now go on sale on February 28, 2024. The irony is that Copa America tickets have legally been on sale since December through the secondary market, and continue to be sold there long before CONMEBOL gets its act together.</p>
  1941.  
  1942.  
  1943.  
  1944. <p>With the tournament kicking off in June, time is running out. As a result, many people are understandably buying tickets now. Such is the demand from fans of Argentina, Mexico, USA, Brazil, Peru, Colombia, and other national teams.</p>
  1945.  
  1946.  
  1947.  
  1948. <p>Tickets on the secondary market can be more expensive, but many consumers prefer the certainty of buying tickets now instead of waiting. The alternative is waiting until the end of February only to find out that tickets are unavailable because the general public bought them all.</p>
  1949.  
  1950.  
  1951.  
  1952. <h2>Things to know about buying tickets on the secondary market</h2>
  1953.  
  1954.  
  1955.  
  1956. <p>Some important points to remember about buying Copa America tickets on the secondary market:</p>
  1957.  
  1958.  
  1959.  
  1960. <p>First, all of the tickets listed below have a&nbsp;100% buyer guarantee. Ticket reseller VividSeats promises valid tickets delivered in time for the event or your money back. These are secure transactions backed by full-service customer care. Plus, there is full compensation for events that are canceled and not rescheduled.</p>
  1961.  
  1962.  
  1963.  
  1964. <p>Second, <a href="https://theathletic.com/5238050/2024/01/30/copa-america-2024-tickets-details-availability/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>The Athletic</em></a> reporter Felipe Cardenas recently revealed that “each Copa América venue will sell match tickets via their preferred ticket partners, rather than all tickets for the tournament going up for sale through a single system.” </p>
  1965.  
  1966.  
  1967.  
  1968. <p>So if you want to buy tickets for the games featuring your country, you may have to buy tickets through Ticketmaster for some venues, and then make separate purchases to buy tickets through SeatGeek for other matches in the same tournament. A big advantage of buying tickets through the secondary market is you can buy all of the tickets through one site such as VividSeats.</p>
  1969.  
  1970.  
  1971.  
  1972. <p>Third and finally, buying tickets through the secondary market avoids having to deal with Ticketmaster.</p>

  2183. <h2>EFL History</h2>
  2184.  
  2185.  
  2186.  
  2187. <p>The English Football League dates back to 1888, making it the oldest league competition in the world.</p>
  2188.  
  2189.  
  2190.  
  2191. <p>After the game began to allow professionalism (paying players) in 1885, the first Football League season was played in 1888-89. By 1892, the Second Division was formed by absorbing the 12 teams from the rival Football Alliance. </p>
  2192.  
  2193.  
  2194.  
  2195. <p>In 1898, automatic promotion and relegation between the First and Second Divisions was added. This succeeded a system of test matches and/or election of clubs that was used prior.</p>
  2196.  
  2197.  
  2198.  
  2199. <p>After World War I, the Third Division was created (initially split into individual north and south leagues). 1958 saw the expansion of the official Football League setup again. A single, nationwide third tier was crafted and a Fourth Division was added. For decades after that, 92 total clubs made up the Football League. </p>
  2200.  
  2201.  
  2202.  
  2203. <p>But in the early 1990s, a major shakeup occurred that would change the face of club football forever. The 22 First Divison clubs resigned from the Football League, in 1992, creating the Premier League. Promotion and relegation remained the same between the top division and the second (re-named the Football League First Division). In 1995 the EPL contracted to 20 clubs, relegating an extra two teams that season.</p>
  2204.  
  2205.  
  2206.  
  2207. <p>Since then, the EFL has consisted of 72 clubs. As of 2023, 68 of the these clubs are in England, and the other four are in Wales.</p>
  2208.  
  2209.  
  2210.  
  2211. <p>In 2004, the remaining three divisions of the EFL were again rebranded, this time to what we know today – the EFL Championship (2), League One (3), and League Two (4).</p>
  2212.  
  2213.  
  2214.  
  2215. <p>The bottom two teams of League Two at the end of each season are relegated the National League (division five). Wrexham AFC are one of the notable clubs that have recently won promotion back to the EFL.</p>

  2246. <p>Tickets for all Argentina games are sold out as ticket prices soar to see Lionel Messi at Copa America. After going on sale earlier this afternoon, tickets for Argentina’s three Group Stage games sold out within one hour. As a result, tickets are now only available through the secondary market. So, if you want to see Lionel Messi play at Copa America, prepare to pay more.</p>
  2247.  
  2248.  
  2249.  
  2250. <p>With the Copa America scheduled to start in less than four months, CONMEBOL <a href="https://copaamerica.com/en/tickets/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">decided to price</a> Argentina tickets for more money than the other nations, including the games involving the host country, the United States. </p>
  2251.  
  2252.  
  2253.  
  2254. <p>For instance, the cheapest ticket to see Argentina’s opening game of the tournament started at $215 but quickly jumped to $230 and then $280 before all of the tickets sold out within one hour. Tickets were then placed on resale to the public through CONMEBOL’s partner Ticketmaster. As of press time, the lowest price for those through Ticketmaster is $303. Vivid Seats has <a href="https://vivid-seats.pxf.io/c/330866/952533/12730?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vividseats.com%2Fcopa-america-tickets-mercedes-benz-stadium-6-20-2024--sports-soccer%2Fproduction%2F4720049" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">tickets starting at $244</a>.</p>
  2255.  
  2256.  
  2257.  
  2258. <p>Undoubtedly, the World Cup winners Argentina have become the hottest ticket in soccer here in the United States. </p>
  2259.  
  2260.  
  2261.  
  2262. <p>Tickets for the USA’s opening game against Bolivia start at $60.</p>
  2263.  
  2264.  
  2265.  
  2266. <h2>Tickets to Argentina matches are already reselling for huge prices</h2>
  2267.  
  2268.

  2270. <p>Resale ticket prices through Ticketmaster for Argentina’s other Group Stage games start at $358 (against Chile at MetLife Stadium), and $474 for a standing-room-only ticket (against Peru at Hard Rock Stadium). Resale tickets are less expensive through Vivid Seats (<a href="https://vivid-seats.pxf.io/c/330866/952533/12730?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vividseats.com%2Fcopa-america-tickets-metlife-stadium-6-25-2024--sports-soccer%2Fproduction%2F4720050" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">$263</a> for the Chile game, and <a href="https://vivid-seats.pxf.io/c/330866/952533/12730?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vividseats.com%2Fcopa-america-tickets-hard-rock-stadium-6-29-2024--sports-soccer%2Fproduction%2F4720048" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">$354</a> for an actual seat in the game against Peru). </p>
  2271.  
  2272.  
  2273.  
  2274. <p>To put Argentina’s draw into perspective, tickets to other Copa America games are currently available for a fraction of the cost. For instance, a seat for the Group B matchup between <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/nations/ecuador-national-team-tv-schedule/">Ecuador</a> and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/nations/venezuela-national-team-tv-schedule/">Venezuela</a> in California’s Bay Area costs just $45 each. <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/nations/peru-national-team-tv-schedule/">Peru</a> and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/nations/chile-national-team-tv-schedule/">Chile</a>‘s opening game in Texas is available for $50 as well.</p>

  2289.  
  2290. <p>Although the United States is hosting the 2024 Copa America, a ticket for the USMNT’s first game of the competition is still relatively affordable. The Americans are set to face <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/nations/bolivia-national-team-tv-schedule/">Bolivia</a> in their opening match of the tournament. Current ticket prices for the fixture in Texas start at $60.</p>
  2291.  
  2292.  
  2293.  
  2294. <p>Argentina and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/nations/brazil-national-team-tv-schedule/">Brazil</a> garnering the most expensive tickets for the tournament is hardly surprising. The global giants are two of the top teams in the entire world and are favorites to lift the trophy. Their squads are also filled with superstars of the sport.</p>
  2295.  
  2296.  
  2297.  
  2298. <p>Although the duo plays friendlies in the country occasionally, fans Stateside are about to get a rare chance to see Argentina and Brazil play live meaningful matches. Assuming the two sides win their respective groups, they could potentially face off in the 2024 Copa America Final in Florida. If so, ticket prices will likely explode heading into the end of the tournament.</p>

  2301.  
  2302. <p>The tournament is typically held in South America for the teams in the CONMEBOL soccer federation. However, the upcoming competition is set to be held across the United States. As part of hosting the tournament, the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/nations/usmnt-tv-schedule/">United States men’s national team</a> will make a rare appearance in the prestigious competition. </p>
  2303.

  2306. <p>CONMEBOL previously revealed the venues for the 2024 Copa America back in December. The opening game of the tournament involving <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/nations/argentina-national-team-tv-schedule/">Argentina</a> is set to be played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Hard Rock Stadium in the Miami area will be the venue for the title match on July 14th. In all, 14 different cities will ultimately host matches throughout the competition.</p>

  2468. <p>Manchester City capitalized on a pair of shocking results last weekend to take control in the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/is-the-premier-league-title-race-over-our-thoughts/">Premier League title race</a>. Arsenal and Liverpool both lost at home, and Pep Guardiola’s side is back at the top of the table. As clubs make the turn into the last handful of games, all eyes are on the title race. Unfortunately, the league leaders are not in action this weekend. An <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/fa-cup-tv-schedule/">FA Cup</a> semifinal against Chelsea on Saturday means <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/manchester-city-tv-schedule/">Manchester City</a> will have a midweek make-up game at a point later in the season.</p>
  2469.  
  2470.  
  2471.  
  2472. <p>That means that <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/arsenal-tv-schedule/">Arsenal</a> and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/liverpool-tv-schedule/">Liverpool</a>, at least for a short while, can re-establish themselves at the top of the table. The Gunners lost to Aston Villa, signaling the side’s first loss in league play since the turn of the calendar year. After also falling in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, Mikel Arteta is desperate for a turnaround result. That comes with a game at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday afternoon.</p>
  2473.  
  2474.  
  2475.  
  2476. <p>The following day, Liverpool takes on Fulham at Craven Cottage. Liverpool has dropped points in back-to-back games after an extended period sitting atop the table. Fulham picked up a win at the weekend against West Ham United to get back on track in what has been an otherwise inconsistent season. However, the last time these two met, Liverpool needed late dramatics to pick up all three points.</p>
  2477.  
  2478.  
  2479.  
  2480. <p>The relegation race is also intensifying with some massive clashes this weekend. Sunday morning’s Everton-Nottingham Forest game carries the most importance in a game involving two teams suffering from profitability and sustainability punishments. Everton is two points above the drop zone while Nottingham Forest is just one. This game could be pivotal at the end of the matchday in terms of who is in the bottom three.</p>

  2489.

  2491.

  2574. <p>ESPN+ and ESPN Deportes are set to join forces as they broadcast the 257th edition of El Clasico. The massive matchup, widely regarded as the top rivalry in all of soccer, is contested between <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/barcelona-tv-schedule/">Barcelona</a> and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/real-madrid-tv-schedule/">Real Madrid</a>. Los Blancos currently hold a slim lead in the fixture with 104 victories. Barcelona is, however, not far behind and has managed 100 wins during El Clasico matchups.</p>
  2575.  
  2576.  
  2577.  
  2578. <p>Real currently tops the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/la-liga-tv-schedule/">LaLiga</a> table by eight points over their bitter rivals. A victory by the home side on Sunday, April 21st would all but give Los Blancos their record 36th Spanish top-flight title. Nevertheless, a Barca triumph at the weekend would make things interesting in the standings heading into the home stretch.</p>
  2579.  
  2580.  
  2581.  
  2582. <p>The two teams have already faced off twice this season, with Real winning both matches. Barca’s first defeat came in October, as Jude Bellingham netted a dramatic match-winning goal in added time. Real then dominated their rivals in the Supercopa de España Final in Saudi Arabia earlier this year.</p>

While most of these are historic derbies among local rivals or those at the top of their country, each game has several instances of recent drama. There is a chance that the games at the weekend will continue that trend to bring more fireworks to their domestic leagues.</p>
  2665.  
  2666.  
  2667.  
  2668. <p>Here are some of the best derbies this weekend at the disposal of soccer fans. </p>
  2669.  
  2670.  
  2671.  
  2672. <h2>Derbies across the world set up massive soccer weekend</h2>
  2673.  
  2674.  
  2675.  
  2676. <h5>AC Milan vs. Inter Milan – Monday, April 22, 2:45 p.m. ET – <a href="https://paramountplus.qflm.net/c/330866/1007330/3065" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Paramount+</a></h5>
  2677.  
  2678.  
  2679.  
  2680. <p>With a win ‘on the road’ at the side’s biggest rival, Inter Milan can clinch its 20th Serie A title in history. As things stand, Inter Milan has a massive 14-point lead at the top of Serie A. Therefore, the club is effectively already celebrating its Scudetto win. However, AC Milan can at least make the side wait just a little longer while also saving face in the 2023/24 season. </p>
  2681.  
  2682.  
  2683.  
  2684. <p>Inter Milan has been dominant in this Italian city rivalry. In the last five games, Inter Milan has five wins. That features a 5-1 drubbing earlier this season in Serie A play. Yet, going back to last season, Inter Milan bested its rivals in both of the UEFA Champions League semifinal legs. Now, Inter Milan can expand on that dominance by winning the Serie A title in front of all the Milan fans.</p>
  2685.  
  2686.  
  2687.  
  2688. <p>Milan has been struggling of late, including losing both legs in the Europa League quarterfinals to Roma. In between those losses, Milan needed two second-half goals to draw against relegation candidate Sassuolo. Stefano Pioli’s side can take a step closer to Champions League qualification with a win over Inter.</p>
  2689.  
  2690.  
  2691.  
  2692. <h5>Real Madrid vs. Barcelona – Sunday, April 21, 3 p.m. ET – <a href="https://go.web.plus.espn.com/mWebq" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">ESPN+</a></h5>
  2693.  
  2694.  
  2695.  
  2696. <p><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tv/espns-tv-coverage-plans-for-el-clasico-real-madrid-barcelona/">El Clasico</a> needs no introduction, but the fact that it is another top-of-the-table clash in one of Europe’s best leagues just adds to the drama on display. Much like Inter Milan, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/real-madrid-tv-schedule/">Real Madrid</a> is on pace to run away with the title in LaLiga. Eight points above <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/barcelona-tv-schedule/">Barcelona</a> in the table, Carlo Ancelotti’s side cannot formally clinch the LaLiga title. However, with a win, Barcelona would have a practically insurmountable 11-point deficit with six games remaining. </p>
  2697.  
  2698.  
  2699.  
  2700. <p>This season has been wildly inconsistent for Barcelona. Disappointing results in the league eventually led Xavi to announce that he would depart at the end of the 2023/24 campaign. The club remains optimistic he will change his mind, but the Spanish coach has maintained his stance on leaving. By some miracle, turning LaLiga around could help court Xavi back to the club.</p>
  2701.  
  2702.  
  2703.  
  2704. <p>Yet, all signs point to Real Madrid extending their record LaLiga triumphs this season. Going back to the previous matchup this season, Jude Bellingham’s brace in the second half wrote off Barcelona in the league. That set Los Blancos up for a season of glory, while Barcelona is still working to finish second and earn a spot in next season’s Supercopa de España.</p>

  2724.  
  2725.  
  2726.  
  2727. <h5>River Plate vs. Boca Juniors – Sunday, April 21, 1:30 p.m. ET – <a href="https://fanatiz.jbbfvx.net/stvs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Fanatiz</a></h5>
  2728.  
  2729.  
  2730.  
  2731. <p>Other rivalries may have the star players. Few rivalries can compare to the fan engagement and atmosphere between Argentine rivals River Plate and Boca Juniors. The Superclasico has delivered some wild moments in recent seasons. For example, The Copa Libertadores Final in 2018 featured these two teams. That two-legged tie needed to have its second leg in Madrid to avoid clashes between fans.</p>
  2732.  
  2733.  
  2734.  
  2735. <p>This is a game in the Copa de la Liga Profesional, a domestic cup competition that previously featured 14 games to reach the last eight. These two played against one another in the first phase as part of an interzonal contest, with the two drawing at El Monumental, the same location for Sunday’s game. </p>
  2736.  
  2737.  
  2738.  
  2739. <p>The winner of this game, which is airing on Fanatiz, advances to the semifinals of the Copa de la Liga Profesional. There, the victor plays the winner of Estudiantes and Barracas Central.</p>
  2740.  
  2741.  
  2742.  
  2743. <h5>Borussia Dortmund vs. Bayer Leverkusen – Sunday, April 21, 11:30 a.m. ET – ESPN2 and <a href="https://go.web.plus.espn.com/mWebq" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">ESPN+</a></h5>
  2744.  
  2745.  
  2746.  
  2747. <p>Dortmund and Leverkusen do not have a historically significant rivalry like the three matches listed above. However, they are two of the most prominent teams in the history of the Bundesliga. This season, Bayer Leverkusen has not lost a game, something that is making history in the Bundesliga. A game against <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/borussia-dortmund-tv-schedule/">Borussia Dortmund</a> is one of the side’s biggest tests to preserve that unbeaten record.</p>
  2748.  
  2749.  
  2750.  
  2751. <p>However, this game goes beyond pride for Dortmund. The club in the Champions League semifinals is still competing to get into Europe’s top club competition. As things stand, Dortmund is level on points with RB Leipzig in fourth, but Leipzig has a superior goal differential. If Dortmund can be the first team to defeat Leverkusen in all competitions this season, it would be a massive step toward securing fourth place with just four games remaining after this fixture.</p>

Real weren’t behind for long as they won a penalty in the 18th minute when Lucas Vasquez fell over in the box following Pau Cubarsi’s challenge. Vinicius Jr stepped up confidently to restore parity, however there was controversy just minutes later.</p>
  3008.  
  3009.  
  3010.  
  3011. <p>Lamine Yamal’s flick from a corner looked to have crossed the line but with the unavailability of goal-line technology, the goal couldn’t be given much to Barcelona’s dismay. VAR intervened to claim that Real goalkeeper Andriy Lunin made the save before the ball had crossed the line. After the break, Barcelona finally managed to get their noses in front when Lunin’s clearance conceded possession for the hosts and it was Fermin Lopez who scored from close range to give Xavi’s side the lead in the 69th minute.</p>

  3035.  
  3036.  
  3037.  
  3038. <p>Barcelona’s joy was short-lived as Real were level just four minutes later. Vinicius Jr put a brilliant whipped cross for Vasquez who slid in to slot home. With the match heading towards a draw, Bellingham was once again the hero in stoppage time, like in October in the reverse fixture. The English midfielder arrived late in the box and after Joselu missed Brahim Diaz’s cross, the 20-year-old smashed home to give his side a huge win once again over their arch-rivals. To make matters worse for <a href="https://www.fcbarcelona.com/en/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Barcelona</a>, Frenkie de Jong left the game on a stretcher shortly before halftime, and it is unknown for how long the Dutch midfielder will be ruled out of action.</p>
  3039.  
  3040.  
  3041.  
  3042. <p>The result means that Carlo Ancelotti’s side have had a brilliant week and are now 11 points clear at the top of the La Liga standings with 6 games left and already have one hand on the title. Moreover, the Spanish giants are also in the Champions League semi-final, after being pedestrian throughout the second leg against Manchester City.</p>
  3043.  
  3044.  
  3045.  
  3046. <p>Following the loss, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/xavi/">Xavi</a> said, “The league that we consider to be the best league in the world does not have goal-line technology! Everyone saw it, the ball went in. Since the beginning of the season in Getafe, I said that I do not like what is happening and that everything is hurting us, and today was the end of this story. Well, I’m proud of the team.” </p>
  3047.  
  3048.  
  3049.  
  3050. <p>Goalkeeper Marc Andre ter Stegen was visibly upset as the German said, “I have no words to explain what happened on the goal line. It’s a shame for world football. This world moves a lot of money but not for the important things”.</p>

  3079. <p>Man City narrowly edged out <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/chelsea-tv-schedule/">Chelsea</a> on Saturday to advance to the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/fa-cup-tv-schedule/">FA Cup</a> final. Bernardo Silva managed to score the only goal of the game on the day late in the game. The midfielder became the hero against the Blues after seeing a penalty shot saved on Wednesday against <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/real-madrid-tv-schedule/">Real Madrid</a>.</p>
  3080.  
  3081.  
  3082.  
  3083. <p>The two sides entered the massive match with opposite outlooks on their seasons. Despite recently being knocked out of the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/champions-league-tv-schedule/">UEFA Champions League</a>, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/manchester-city-tv-schedule/">City</a> is currently leading the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/premier-league-tv-schedule/">Premier League</a>. The reigning European champions are looking for their fourth consecutive league tittle. Chelsea, on the other hand, find themselves sitting ninth in the standings and only really have/had the FA Cup to play for.</p>
  3084.  
  3085.  
  3086.  
  3087. <p>Kevin De Bruyne made a return to manager Pep Guardiola’s starting lineup after needing to be substituted midweek. However, superstar striker Erling Haaland was forced to miss Saturday’s matchup due to a minor injury.</p>
  3088.  
  3089.  
  3090.  
  3091. <h2>Chelsea looked most likely to go ahead in goalless first half</h2>
  3092.  
  3093.  
  3094.  
  3095. <p>Despite their opposite places in the league table, the match began fairly evenly. Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson had the game’s first real scoring chance in the seventh minute. The forward, however, sent a shot from a dangerous area directly at Stefan Ortega in goal. Phil Foden then found himself in a one-on-one position against Blues keeper Djordje Petrovic a few minutes later. Nevertheless, the City star could not capitalize on the glorious chance.</p>
  3096.  
  3097.  
  3098.  
  3099. <p>City seemingly looked a bit hungover from their midweek defeat. De Bruyne accidentally blocked a shot by his own teammate while in an offside position in the 20th minute. Foden was then judged to have been offside a few minutes later on a lovely lofted pass over the defense by Jack Grealish. </p>
  3100.  
  3101.  
  3102.  
  3103. <p>Jackson and former City youngster Cole Palmer had solid opportunities for Chelsea in the opening period as well. The striker found himself free on goal in the 30th minute due to a beautiful ball by Enzo Fernandez. Jackson, however, bizarrely did not take a shot in the situation and eventually passed the ball directly to an opposing defender. Ortega then made a quality low save from a shot just a few yards away by Palmer before the halftime break.</p>
  3104.  
  3105.  
  3106.  
  3107. <h2>Man City finally scored, as Jackson squandered Chelsea’s FA Cup chances</h2>
  3108.  
  3109.  
  3110.  
  3111. <p>Jackson then squandered two more chances early on in the second half. Ortega initially stopped a shot from the striker down to his left. The ball was quickly sent back into the box and Jackson’s header from point-blank range was smothered by the keeper. City then recorded their first shot on target in the 53rd minute, but Petrovic made the appropriate save.</p>
  3112.  
  3113.  
  3114.  
  3115. <p>Chelsea thought they may have earned a penalty kick two minutes later. Replays showed that Grealish blocked a free kick shot by Palmer with an outstretched arm. VAR officials, however, allowed play to continue after taking an additional look at the incident. Match referee Michael Oliver did not even give a corner kick to the Blues on the play.</p>
  3116.  
  3117.  
  3118.  
  3119. <p>With the match looking set for extra time, Silva finally gave City the lead in the 84th minute. De Bruyne initially sent a dangerous low cross in front of goal. Petrovic was able to get a foot on the pass, but the ball then fell straight to Silva. The midfielder struck a shot that deflected into a Chelsea defender and into the back of the net.</p>

  3148. <p>Manchester United were spared their blushes as they beat <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/stvs_team/coventry-city/">Coventry City</a> on penalties to reach the <a href="https://www.thefa.com/competitions/thefacup" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">FA Cup final</a> at Wembley Stadium on Sunday afternoon. </p>

  3151.  
  3152. <p>United cruised to a 3-0 lead at just the hour mark, but Coventry produced a sensational last twenty minutes to score thrice and drag the game to extra time. </p>
  3153.  
  3154.  
  3155.  
  3156. <p>The result means that Eric ten Hag’s side will face cross-city rivals and holders Manchester City in the final later next month.</p>
  3157.  
  3158.  
  3159.  
  3160. <h2>United race to three-goal lead</h2>
  3161.  
  3162.  
  3163.  
  3164. <p><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/manchester-united-tv-schedule/">United</a> started the game better of the two sides and should have taken the lead in the seventh minute but winger Alejandro Garnacho failed to take keep his shot on target with only the goalkeeper to beat. </p>
  3165.  
  3166.  
  3167.  
  3168. <p>Marcus Rashford, too, inexplicably shot wide from close range as Coventry looked to settle down in the game. United did get the go-away goal in the 23<sup>rd</sup> minute when Scott McTominay scored in the 23<sup>rd</sup> minute following Diogo Dalot’s low cross.</p>
  3169.  
  3170.  
  3171.  
  3172. <p>Just on the stroke of half time, it was Harry Maguire who made it 2-0 for the Red Devils when the English center-back rose highest from Bruno Fernandes’ wonderful cross. </p>
  3173.  
  3174.  
  3175.  
  3176. <p>Coventry struggled to match United’s intensity at the start of the second half as they looked superior all across the pitch. It was 3-0 for United just on the stroke of the hour when Fernandes’ strike took a deflection off Bobby Thomas to beat Bradley Collins in the Coventry goal.</p>

  3184. <h2>Simms sparks epic comeback</h2>
  3185.  
  3186.  
  3187.  
  3188. <p>It looked like a comfortable victory for ten Hag’s side till Ellis Simms pulled one back for the Championship side in the 71<sup>st</sup> minute. Just eight minutes later, Callum O’Hare’s strike took a deflection off Aaron Wan-Bissaka to hit the back of the net with Andre Onana rooted to the spot in the United goal. </p>
  3189.  
  3190.  
  3191.  
  3192. <p>Coventry pulled off the miraculous comeback as they were awarded a penalty right at the death when Luis Bink’s strike struck Wan-Bissaka’s arm. Haji Wright calmly placed his pot kick past Onana as the game dragged on to extra time.</p>
  3193.  
  3194.  
  3195.  
  3196. <p>Mark Robins’ side were definitely buoyed by the terrific comeback and rode their luck when Fernandes’ strike cannoned off the post in the 93<sup>rd</sup> minute. </p>
  3197.  
  3198.  
  3199.  
  3200. <p>Ellis Simms then struck the post with just three minutes left as United looked tired and weary as the game progressed. </p>
  3201.  
  3202.  
  3203.  
  3204. <p>Coventry thought they had won the game in the final minute of extra time when Victor Torp poked in Haji Wright’s cross but VAR intervened to chalk the goal off as Wright was adjusted to be offside by the slightest of margins in the buildup.</p>
  3205.  
  3206.  
  3207.  
  3208. <p>United started the penalty shootout terribly when Casemiro missed the opening spot kick but Ben Sheaf and Callum O’Hare both missed as Rasmus Hojlund scored the winning penalty to take his side to the final. </p>
  3209.  
  3210.  
  3211.  
  3212. <p>Robins’ side would be proud of their fairytale FA Cup run and hardly deserved to lose given their display over the course of 120 minutes.</p>
  3213.  
  3214.  
  3215.  
  3216. <p>Harry Maguire later said after the game, “We started the game really well,” he says, “Really professional… The penalty was so harsh, but all credit to Coventry.”</p>

  3235. <p>Point deductions put Everton in a precarious position, but the club seems to think they have found the perfect manager to keep them out of danger.</p>
  3236.  
  3237.  
  3238.  
  3239. <p>Sean Dyche was let go by Burnley almost two years ago as he was in the midst of their fight to avoid relegation from the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/watch-premier-league-on-us-tv-internet/">Premier League</a>. Whatever wounds it may have caused, Dyche shows no signs of them.</p>
  3240.  
  3241.  
  3242.  
  3243. <p>This is the eighth relegation fight in the Premier League that the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/everton-tv-schedule/">Everton</a> manager has been a part of. In fact, he has been consistently phlegmatic throughout.</p>
  3244.  
  3245.  
  3246.  
  3247. <p>Despite the club’s one victory in fifteen games, there seems to be little chance of a management change. That’s even if he is under pressure to produce results during one of the most significant weeks in the club’s recent history.</p>
  3248.  
  3249.  
  3250.  
  3251. <h2>What does future for Sean Duyche hold?</h2>
  3252.  
  3253.  
  3254.  
  3255. <p>During Farhad Moshiri’s tenure as the main shareholder, there has been widespread management anarchy. </p>
  3256.  
  3257.  
  3258.  
  3259. <p>Dyche is the ninth manager to take charge of Everton in the last eight years; a number of his predecessors’ disastrous tenures had fans feeling certain that a change was in need.</p>
  3260.  
  3261.  
  3262.  
  3263. <p>Following <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/everton-coach-says-players-galvanized-by-unjust-points-penalty-20231124-WST-472406.html">sluggish performances</a> in January against West Ham, Southampton, and Brighton, Dyche’s predecessor Frank Lampard departed. </p>
  3264.  
  3265.  
  3266.  
  3267. <p>After a little over a year in charge, Lampard was gone; he lasted almost twice as long as Rafa Benitez. The Spaniard’s own turbulent tenure came to an end with Norwich City’s loss, which the Blues suffered at the foot of the league.</p>
  3268.  
  3269.  
  3270.  
  3271. <p>Thus, despite Dyche’s many unanswered issues, there is no desire for a management shakeup at Goodison Park. One positive development of the Toffees’ poor run is that they are still not in the relegation zone. Then there’s the matter of finding the right coach, as per <a href="https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/why-everton-wont-consider-sacking-sean-dyche-3015608" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">i News</a>.</p>
  3272.  
  3273.  
  3274.  
  3275. <p>As the team resume their survival battle, Dyche has assured his players that he would not be held responsible if they fail to meet expectations. The Blues manager met with his team to discuss how to improve after a disastrous performance against Chelsea. Apparently, he acknowledged it was “miles” below his expectations.</p>

  3282.  
  3283. <h2>What did Sean Dyche say?</h2>
  3284.  
  3285.  
  3286.  
  3287. <p>Dyche said that the topic of managers coming and going over the last several years came up during the meeting. He advised the players that if they wanted to bring about another change for the better. “I’m not that guy, I’m staying. I’m fighting”, <a href="https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/people-want-truth-sean-dyche-29028888" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">he said at a press conference</a>.</p>
  3288.  
  3289.  
  3290.  
  3291. <p>“It’s a fair question – and I have absolutely gone through this with the players. Is it now just a cycle that the club is in? Every year you want a new manager, you get a new manager, you get a bounce then six months later it’s: ‘Boo! We want him out!’ and you just keep doing that? Is that where we are at? I don’t mind telling you this because people want the truth.</p>
  3292.  
  3293.  
  3294.  
  3295. <p>“After Monday I said to them: ‘Is it that time of year again when you just want an easy life where you get a new manager in, you get a new manager bounce and everyone says hurrah?’ I said: ‘Lads, I’m not that guy. I’m staying. I’m fighting.’ If you want that to happen, you help yourselves.</p>
  3296.  
  3297.  
  3298.  
  3299. <p>“If the fans want that to happen, so be it. I’m fighting. I’m not blaming anyone. I’ve never done that in my career and I’m not going to start now. I know the truth of what I am trying to manage here. And it is a lot. But I am up to it. If I wasn’t, I wouldn’t do it.”</p>

  3318. <p>Gianluca Busio, a midfielder for the United States national team, scored the game-winning goal for Venezia in their promotion campaign to Serie A. </p>
  3319.  
  3320.  
  3321.  
  3322. <p>The 21-year-old produced a spectacular goal that put his side back in the battle for promotion to the top division.</p>
  3323.  
  3324.  
  3325.  
  3326. <p>The team from Venice is in a desperate situation as the Serie B season comes to a close. </p>
  3327.  
  3328.  
  3329.  
  3330. <p>Entering the last month of games, they are three points behind Como for automatic promotion. Before what promises to be a thrilling season finale, they still have four games left on the schedule to attempt to establish a rhythm.</p>
  3331.  
  3332.  
  3333.  
  3334. <p>One American, Tanner Tessmann, was instrumental in last week’s pivotal three points for Venezia in <a href="https://www.espn.co.uk/football/table/_/league/ita.2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Serie B</a>. The <a href="https://twitter.com/B2B_Clips/status/1781720387203567793" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">spotlight was on Gianluca Busio this week</a>. In a 2-1 away win against Lecco, Busio scored the game-winning goal for Venezia, who are still in the promotion hunt.</p>
  3335.  
  3336.  
  3337.  
  3338. <p>The <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/nations/usmnt-tv-schedule/">USMNT</a> midfielder helped keep the Orange-Black-Greens three points behind second-place Como in the race for <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/serie-a-tv-schedule/">Serie A</a> automatic promotion. In the match, both Tessmann and Busio contributed for the whole 90 minutes.</p>
  3339.  
  3340.  
  3341.  
  3342. <p>After falling down 1-0 at halftime, Paolo Vanoli’s players mounted a remarkable comeback and ultimately won the match. Even though Joel Pohjanpalo had leveled the score in the 58th minute, the visitors went up 2-1 thanks to a goal from Busio just two minutes later.</p>
  3343.  
  3344.  
  3345.  
  3346. <h2>USMNT duo vital for success</h2>
  3347.  
  3348.  
  3349.  
  3350. <p>With the victory, Venezia would take their league record to 19 wins and 64 points for the season. If the squad keep playing as they did on Saturday, they will definitely still be in the promotion hunt with four games remaining.</p>
  3351.  
  3352.  
  3353.  
  3354. <p>The success of Venezia this season has hinged on Busio and Tessmann, who must maintain their essential minutes. If Friday’s encounter is any indication, the Lagunari will be playing in their most crucial game of the season.</p>
  3355.  
  3356.  
  3357.  
  3358. <p>In a matchup between two teams vying for promotion by default, they welcome fourth-place Cremonese. So far, the Winged Lions have been absolutely dominating Serie B. Which bodes well for their chances of making it in Serie A.</p>
  3359.  
  3360.  
  3361.  
  3362. <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="430" height="345" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.worldsoccertalk.com/webp/full/WST_20240421_WST_502587_image-16_d439bd3c.webp&amp;width=430&amp;height=345" alt="" class="wp-image-502670" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/image-16.png 430w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/image-16-300x241.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px"></figure><figcaption>Promotion to Serie A is in the balance</figcaption></figure>
  3363.  
  3364.  
  3365.  
  3366. <h2>What Venezia need to earn promotion?</h2>
  3367.  
  3368.  
  3369.  
  3370. <p>Tessmann combines elements of both Michael Bradley and Walker Zimmerman, sharing their vicious competitive spirit but surpassing them both in terms of his ability to control the ball. Meanwhile, skilled and smart in his game reading, Busio passes the ball with ease.</p>
  3371.  
  3372.  
  3373.  
  3374. <p>They are able to out-range any of the team’s current starters. Additionally, they are both bold. The two of them are equally bold. </p>
  3375.  
  3376.  
  3377.  
  3378. <p>They give it their best go at challenging situations. On last week’s goal, Tessmann almost blasted the ball out of the net with a half-volley from within the 18-yard box; Busio had excellent awareness in his assist.</p>
  3379.  
  3380.  
  3381.  
  3382. <p>They have worked their way up in a steady, methodical manner. As opposed to merely plunging players into the deep end and hoping for the best, that often sets them up for more success down the road.</p>
  3383.  
  3384.  
  3385.  
  3386. <p>Ideally, Venezia would want Parma or Como to make a mistake. Finishing in second place will make the road ahead much easier. At this moment, the deciding factor is an extra-time goal from March 3rd’s match between Venezia and Como.</p>
  3387.  
  3388.  
  3389.  
  3390. <p>Given their superior goal differential, Venezia would have clinched the automatic berth had the match resulted in a tie. It only demonstrates how competitive the promotion process is.</p>

  3409. <p>Nacho Fernandez, a great center defender for Real Madrid, is down to his last weeks with the club. He will be leaving the club this summer after 23 years of service.</p>
  3410.  
  3411.  
  3412.  
  3413. <p>His contract is up at the end of the season, therefore the experienced defender’s future with the club is in question. The club’s strategy for players aged 30 and above is to offer them 12-month contracts. Thus, Carlo Ancelotti was able to convince him to accept one last summer.</p>
  3414.  
  3415.  
  3416.  
  3417. <p>Despite maintaining a secondary position, Ancelotti has relied on Nacho time and time again. Nacho even scored a penalty in the team’s UEFA Champions League shootout victory against Manchester City last week.</p>
  3418.  
  3419.  
  3420.  
  3421. <p>Throughout <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/real-madrid-to-reveal-next-stars-departure-before-end-of-season-20240215-WST-489741.html">Real Madrid’s history</a>, Nacho has served as an excellent substitute. No matter the position he plays in defense, he has never been the starter. However, when given the chance, he impresses with his reliability.</p>
  3422.  
  3423.  
  3424.  
  3425. <p>Furthermore, Nacho is an asset to any manager because of his flexibility; he is equally at home playing wherever in the backline. Meanwhile, since Karim Benzema left Madrid last summer, he has assumed the role of captain for this season.</p>
  3426.  
  3427.  
  3428.  
  3429. <p>At 34 years of age, the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/real-madrid-tv-schedule/">Real Madrid</a> veteran has played in more than 350 games this season, contributing to 16 goals and nine assists. Because Nacho is reliable and consistent, Los Blancos have not dabbled in looking for other options.</p>
  3430.  
  3431.  
  3432.  
  3433. <p>But the Spaniard is now in the last three months of his Whites deal, although his future in the capital has already been decided.</p>
  3434.  
  3435.  
  3436.  
  3437. <h2>Nacho makes decision on future</h2>
  3438.  
  3439.  
  3440.  
  3441. <p>In order to begin a new phase of his career, the veteran plans to depart at the conclusion of the season. According to <a href="https://www.marca.com/en/football/real-madrid/2024/04/20/66238e6fca474142568b4576.html">Marca</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1781352125643018649" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fabrizio Romano</a>, Nacho has already told the club that he isn’t going to sign a new deal when his current one ends in June. Since this is the case, the seasoned player will officially be a free agent.</p>
  3442.  
  3443.  
  3444.  
  3445. <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="445" height="718" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.worldsoccertalk.com/webp/full/WST_20240421_WST_502579_image-15_9e59e11f.webp&amp;width=445&amp;height=718" alt="" class="wp-image-502657" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/image-15.png 445w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/image-15-186x300.png 186w" sizes="(max-width: 445px) 100vw, 445px"></figure><figcaption>Nacho looks set to leave Real Madrid in the summer</figcaption></figure>
  3446.  
  3447.  
  3448.  
  3449. <p>The fate of Nacho is still up in the air, but one thing is certain: he is not staying in Spain. The fact that Inter were also interested in him should not be overlooked. The <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/where-to-watch-serie-a-on-us-tv-and-internet/">Serie A</a> leaders had offered the defender a contract two years ago, but he turned down the offer.</p>
  3450.  
  3451.  
  3452.  
  3453. <p>Romano says the possibility of him becoming a free agent has rekindled interest in the player within the club. Although the Italian club sent an offer, the player has chosen to keep his options open and has not yet answered.</p>
  3454.  
  3455.  
  3456.  
  3457. <h2>What now for Nacho?</h2>
  3458.  
  3459.  
  3460.  
  3461. <p>But Marca claim that the defender is unwilling to take on Real Madrid, which further dispels any hope of him staying in Europe. Either way, speculation has already started about his next club and retirement plans. </p>
  3462.  
  3463.  
  3464.  
  3465. <p>Apparently, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/major-clubs-missing-at-2025-club-world-cup-in-usa/">Saudi Arabia sides</a> are interested in him and they want to lure him in the summer. But financial incentives don’t inspire the Spaniard, therefore he isn’t thinking about it right now.</p>
  3466.  
  3467.  
  3468.  
  3469. <p>As Nacho seeks to broaden his athletic and personal horizons, he is widely considered to be leaning toward signing with an MLS team.</p>

  3488. <p>The hot favorite to take over as Milan coach for the next season is a controversial former manager of Spain.</p>
  3489.  
  3490.  
  3491.  
  3492. <p>With elimination from the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/europa-league-tv-schedule/">Europa League</a>, the Coppa Italia, and the Champions League, Milan’s season has been a bitter disappointment. The fact that Inter have a chance to win the Scudetto in Monday’s derby only adds salt to the wound.</p>
  3493.  
  3494.  
  3495.  
  3496. <p>After winning the Serie A title in 2021-22, the Rossoneri will go without a trophy for the second year in a row. </p>
  3497.  
  3498.  
  3499.  
  3500. <p>Consistent public support from management, a strong run in Europe, and seven consecutive wins beginning in March all worked in Pioli’s favor. They all increased the likelihood that he would remain.</p>
  3501.  
  3502.  
  3503.  
  3504. <p>Nonetheless, after two very concerning displays, they were knocked out of the Europa League, ending their only hope of lifting a trophy this season. </p>
  3505.  
  3506.  
  3507.  
  3508. <p>Since Inter are so far above their city rivals in the league, this looks to have been the last straw for Stefano Pioli’s future with the club.</p>
  3509.  
  3510.  
  3511.  
  3512. <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="430" height="379" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.worldsoccertalk.com/webp/full/WST_20240421_WST_502567_image-14_82b1c3f2.webp&amp;width=430&amp;height=379" alt="" class="wp-image-502650" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/image-14.png 430w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/image-14-300x264.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px"></figure><figcaption>Pioli is widely expected to leave AC Milan</figcaption></figure>
  3513.  
  3514.  
  3515.  
  3516. <h2>Lopetegui to replace Pioli?</h2>
  3517.  
  3518.  
  3519.  
  3520. <p>Rumor has it that <a href="https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Calciomercato/Milan/20-04-2024/milan-lopetegui-nuovo-allenatore-delusioni-gioie-e-miracoli.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">La Gazzetta dello Sport</a> reports that Julen Lopetegui, a former coach of the Spanish national team, would be joining Milan for the next season. There needs to be a change in management at the club’s level, and Stefano Pioli has done his turn.</p>
  3521.  
  3522.  
  3523.  
  3524. <p>Lopetegui resigned as manager of Wolves in the Premier League because the club disapproved of his expensive signings. </p>
  3525.  
  3526.  
  3527.  
  3528. <p>Aside from managing Real Madrid, Porto, he won the Europa League with Sevilla. The 57-year-old has also coached the Spanish national teams at the U19, U20, and U21 levels.</p>
  3529.  
  3530.  
  3531.  
  3532. <p>With a spot in next year’s Champions League almost certain and second place all but assured, Milan can go on with their plans for the next campaign without worrying about this one. However, club owner Gerry Cardinale has not yet made a final decision, despite recent interactions between the two.</p>
  3533.  
  3534.  
  3535.  
  3536. <p>Furthermore, the San Siro side have a <a href="https://gianlucadimarzio.com/it/milan-prossimo-allenatore-serie-a-2024-2025" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">shortlist of potential managers</a> that includes Paulo Fonseca, Christophe Galtier, Xavi, Ruben Amorim, and Marcelo Gallardo.</p>
  3537.  
  3538.  
  3539.  
  3540. <h2>What does it mean for Pulisic?</h2>
  3541.  
  3542.  
  3543.  
  3544. <p>A change of coaches may not help <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/milan-prepares-pulisic-contract-extension-amid-blazing-form/">Christian Pulisic</a> much, however. </p>
  3545.  
  3546.  
  3547.  
  3548. <p>The Italian coach was instrumental in Milan’s acquisition of Pulisic and Yunus Musah of the USMNT last summer. Pulisic has been in fine form since joining the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/where-to-watch-serie-a-on-us-tv-and-internet/">Serie A</a> giants, with eight assists and 13 goals in 44 outings across all competitions.</p>
  3549.  
  3550.  
  3551.  
  3552. <p>Thus, fans are gushing about the winger’s acquisition, especially since the club only spent more than $21 million for him. Even the player seemed to have something to thank current coach Stefano Pioli for after his outstanding season. </p>
  3553.  
  3554.  
  3555.  
  3556. <p>The manager’s faith in his abilities, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/pulisics-father-reveals-reason-for-milan-move-and-revival-in-form/">said Mark Pulisic</a>, is a key factor in his son’s performance.</p>
  3557.  
  3558.  
  3559.  
  3560. <p>“Christian has had everyone’s trust. Pioli trusts him, he always lets him play and doesn’t immediately replace him if things go wrong. Then he likes Milan, and he always speaks well of his teammates. Fikayo Tomori and Olivier Giroud helped him a lot when it came to choosing Milan,” he said.</p>

  3579. <p>Josip Stanisic scored a 97th-minute equalizer as <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/will-leverkusen-title-win-help-bundesliga-growth-in-usa/">Bayer Leverkusen</a> maintained their unbeaten season run, drawing 1-1 against Borussia Dortmund on Sunday afternoon. </p>
  3580.  
  3581.  
  3582.  
  3583. <p>It seemed that the newly crowned <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/bundesliga-tv-schedule/">Bundesliga</a> winners would suffer their first defeat of the campaign when Niclas Fullkrug struck in the 81<sup>st</sup> minute to give Dortmund the lead but Stanisic’s header prevented the hosts from taking three points in front of their vociferous home faithful.</p>
  3584.  
  3585.  
  3586.  
  3587. <p>Keeping the dream of an unbeaten season alive.</p>
  3588.  
  3589.  
  3590.  
  3591. <p>After having won the Bundesliga last week and then dispatching off West Ham in the Europa League in midweek to reach the semifinals, Xabi Alonso’s side looked tired throughout the course of 90 minutes. </p>
  3592.  
  3593.  
  3594.  
  3595. <h2>Leverkusen dominate first half without return</h2>
  3596.  
  3597.  
  3598.  
  3599. <p>Leverkusen dominated possession in the first half, but the hosts came closest to opening the scoring. </p>
  3600.  
  3601.  
  3602.  
  3603. <p>Marcel Sabitzer, who inspired Dortmund to beat Atletico Madrid in midweek and reach the Champions League semi-final, saw his effort saved by Leverkusen keeper Lukas Hradecky.</p>
  3604.  
  3605.  
  3606.  
  3607. <p>Nathan Tella should have given his side the leader but Gregor Kobel saved from close range to keep the scores level. </p>
  3608.  
  3609.  
  3610.  
  3611. <p>Jeremy Frimpong then wasted a glorious opportunity early in the second half before Alex Grimaldo tested Kobel again with a dipping free kick just round the hour mark. </p>
  3612.  
  3613.  
  3614.  
  3615. <p>Alonso’s side showed their impetus as the second half continued but it was Dortmund who took the lead with nine left.</p>
  3616.  
  3617.  
  3618.  
  3619. <p>A quick throw in saw Sabitzer’s cross well volleyed in by Fullkrug as the hosts got their noses in front. Leverkusen did look to hit back but failed to create any sort of clear-cut chances after they went behind. </p>
  3620.  
  3621.  
  3622.  
  3623. <p>Victor Boniface was sent off for grabbing an opponent by the neck, but VAR intervened to chalk off the red as the Leverkusen player received a yellow for his troubles. </p>
  3624.  
  3625.  
  3626.  
  3627. <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.worldsoccertalk.com/webp/full/WST_20240421_WST_502593_image-13_7488c3a1.webp&amp;width=381&amp;height=529" alt="" class="wp-image-502622" width="381" height="529" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/image-13.png 381w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/image-13-216x300.png 216w" sizes="(max-width: 381px) 100vw, 381px"></figure><figcaption>Last gasp equaliser keeps Leverkusen’s run alive</figcaption></figure>
  3628.  
  3629.  
  3630.  
  3631. <h2>Unbeaten run continues</h2>
  3632.  
  3633.  
  3634.  
  3635. <p>At the death it was Stanisic who flicked a wonderful header home from Florian Wirtz’s corner to keep his side’s unbeaten run in what has been a fairytale campaign. Leverkusen are now unbeaten in 45 games.</p>
  3636.  
  3637.  
  3638.  
  3639. <p>Following the game, Alondo, who was visibly thrilled, said, “We just don’t want to lose. The goal was very emotional, and celebrating with the fans was very nice, it means a lot to all of us”. </p>
  3640.  
  3641.  
  3642.  
  3643. <p>Interestingly Dortmund remains the only current Bundesliga team Alonso’s side hasn’t beaten in the Bundesliga having faced each other thrice since the Spaniard took over as manager. </p>
  3644.  
  3645.  
  3646.  
  3647. <p>The result means that Dortmund stay in <a href="https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/table" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fifth with 57 points</a>, two behind RB Leipzig in fourth. The two sides square off against each other next week in what will be a huge clash for a fourth-placed finish, the last spot for a Champions League berth. </p>
  3648.  
  3649.  
  3650.  
  3651. <p>It remains to be seen how manager Edin Terzic keeps his team fresh as they play an in-form Paris St Germain in the semifinals of the Champions League while also pushing to finish as high as possible come at the end of the season. </p>
  3652.  
  3653.  
  3654.  
  3655. <p>The hosts, however, will take the result as the Bundesliga is now likely to get five spots in next season’s Champions League.</p>

  3701.  
  3702. <p><a href="https://www.aboutamazon.co.uk/99-manchester-united-treble-documentary-prime-video" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Amazon</a> said: “The documentary follows the astonishing road to greatness with untold stories from inside the team, revealing the dressing room conflicts, personal struggles and miraculous moments behind the legendary season, which culminated in the most unbelievable comeback victory in football.</p>
  3703.  
  3704.  
  3705.  
  3706. <p>“The series is both a love letter to one of the greatest achievements in world football and the story of a group of players who were recruited, coached and moulded by Sir Alex Ferguson to create history.’</p>

  3714. <h2>When will it come out?</h2>
  3715.  
  3716.  
  3717.  
  3718. <p>Numerous memorable events occurred during the season, including the Champions League semi-final victory over Juventus. Then, there is the FA Cup semi-final miracle goal by Ryan Giggs against Arsenal; and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s European Cup winning-strike.</p>
  3719.  
  3720.  
  3721.  
  3722. <p>Nevertheless, the documentary series assures viewers of “untold stories” via interviews with prominent figures such as Dwight Yorke, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Paul Scholes, Andy Cole, and Gary Neville. His brother Phil Neville, as well as Peter Schmeichel, Paul Scholes, Paul Scholes, Teddy Sheringham, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will also make an appearance.</p>

  4311.  
  4312.  
  4313. <p>That puts Barcelona’s prospects of taking home a trophy this year at an extremely low level. Their only remaining competition is La Liga. However, the Blaugrana are presently in second place, eight points behind Real Madrid, with seven games remaining in the championship race.</p>
  4314.  
  4315.  
  4316.  
  4317. <p>If Xavi’s players were to win in Madrid, it would revive the championship competition. Nonetheless, Los Blancos would have to make a huge mistake for them to have at least any shot at winning the championship.</p>
  4318.  
  4319.  
  4320.  
  4321. <h2>El Clasico to be without many Barcelona fans</h2>
  4322.  
  4323.  
  4324.  
  4325. <p>Fans of both clubs’ games are in for a treat on Sunday at the Santiago Bernabeu for the season-ending Clasico. As one would expect, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/history-of-el-clasico-real-madrid-vs-barcelona/">El Clasico</a> is the most anticipated soccer match of the Spanish calendar.</p>
  4326.  
  4327.  
  4328.  
  4329. <p>It has a history of drawing in millions of viewers from across the world. So, when the two biggest clubs in La Liga face off for the third time in the 2023-24 season, it is sure to be an incredible sight for everyone lucky enough to be in attendance.</p>
  4330.  
  4331.  
  4332.  
  4333. <p>Unfortunately, hardly many fans have traveled to Madrid, reflecting the general lack of confidence among Barcelona supporters. Reports from <a href="https://as.com/futbol/primera/poco-interes-del-seguidor-del-barca-para-presenciar-el-clasico-en-el-bernabeu-n/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Diario AS</a> state that the club has not arranged for any official fan travel plan by road, train, or air. Whether this is a result of fan indifference or club policy remains unknown.</p>

  4338.  
  4339.  
  4340.  
  4341. <p>The price of match tickets continues to be a big concern for supporters, even if La Liga has ordered a reduction in ticket prices for away spectators. For this match, away fans may purchase tickets ranging from $133 for the lowest (non-VIP) option to $475 for the maximum.</p>
  4342.  
  4343.  
  4344.  
  4345. <h2>How was previous El Clasico?</h2>
  4346.  
  4347.  
  4348.  
  4349. <p>Xavi, head coach of Barcelona, had previously stated his intention to leave the club at the season’s end after a disappointing run of results earlier in the year. But in the ten league matches after his statement, the Catalans have remained defeatless.</p>
  4350.  
  4351.  
  4352.  
  4353. <p>In contrast, Real Madrid have won all 25 of their La Liga matches played since September. In reality, they’ve only dropped one game all season, and that was against Atletico Madrid, their nearest neighbors.</p>
  4354.  
  4355.  
  4356.  
  4357. <p>The home team will be without Thibaut Courtois and David Alaba owing to long-term injuries. Meanwhile, the away team will be without Gavi and Alejandro Balde, two young players.</p>
  4358.  
  4359.  
  4360.  
  4361. <p>The two teams met previously this season in a league match, and Real Madrid came out on top at Barcelona’s Montjuic Stadium. Carlo Ancelotti triumphed 2-1 on the road, with goals by Jude Bellingham.</p>

  4380. <p>Interest in the off-pitch activities of footballers is nothing new, and Endrick’s relationship contract with his girlfriend has caught the attention of fans.</p>
  4381.  
  4382.  
  4383.  
  4384. <p>A new sensation from Brazil made his debut last month under the iconic Wembley arch. <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/earlier-than-expected-endricks-debut-date-for-madrid-revealed/">Endrick</a> became the latest member of an exclusive club of Brazilian superstars—including Pele, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, and Neymar—to score an international goal while still a teenager.</p>
  4385.  
  4386.  
  4387.  
  4388. <p>After intense competition from other elite teams, including <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/endrick-was-interested-in-chelsea-before-joining-real-madrid-20231219-WST-478370.html">Chelsea</a>, Real Madrid were able to recruit the highly-coveted adolescent. It will make him the Spanish giants’ newest rising star.</p>
  4389.  
  4390.  
  4391.  
  4392. <p>The exact amount paid by Madrid to Brazilian club Palmeiras for Endrick is unknown. However, rumor has it that they paid $37 million up front and another $27 million in performance-based transfer bonuses. He was just 16 years old when he signed the deal.</p>
  4393.  
  4394.  
  4395.  
  4396. <p>But regulations forbid foreign players from joining European teams before they turn eighteen. Therefore, he can’t join the Spanish team until July. So, for Los Blancos supporters, Endrick’s goal against England was just the icing on the cake.</p>
  4397.  
  4398.  
  4399.  
  4400. <h2>What kind of ‘contract’ do Endrick and girlfriend have?</h2>
  4401.  
  4402.  
  4403.  
  4404. <p>Almost two years have passed, and now they will soon finally get their chance to see their newest prodigy play on the sacred Santiago Bernabeu field. Many superstars have had the pleasure of performing at this stadium over the years.</p>
  4405.  
  4406.  
  4407.  
  4408. <p>However, Palmeiras still have the player on their books for the time being. Furthermore, it seems that he is also under a contract with his model/influencer girlfriend, who is 21 years old.</p>
  4409.  
  4410.  
  4411.  
  4412. <p>As a young player, you hear more about the sensation’s exploits on the field and less about his personal life. But recently, in a Brazilian media interview, the 17-year-old striker discussed his relationship with his girlfriend.</p>
  4413.  
  4414.  
  4415.  
  4416. <p>The future <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/why-these-6-are-the-hottest-up-and-coming-players-in-soccer-20230701-WST-439490.html">Real Madrid</a> star and his partner discussed their ‘contract’ on the podcast <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snUDyrR7fvE" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pod Delas</a>. Gabriela, a friend of the player, drafted the ‘contract’, as Endrick disclosed. The agreement has certain provisions.</p>
  4417.  
  4418.  
  4419.  
  4420. <p>First, it states that in order for a couple to be in a committed relationship, they need to make an effort to have an emotional bond based on mutual regard, understanding, and love. The second part deals with forbidden activities, such as substance abuse or sudden behavioral changes, that the couple must avoid.</p>
  4421.

  4425.  
  4426.  
  4427.  
  4428. <p>Additionally, they are obligated to say “I love you” and certain phrases are taboo in their discussions. Words like “um,” “ahem,” “OK,” and “kkk” are off-limits. In the event that one side does not fulfill their end of the agreement, the ‘guilty’ party must provide a gift to the other.</p>
  4429.  
  4430.  
  4431.  
  4432. <p>“Whoever does not respect these rules must, at the end of the month, give what the other wants. For example, I asked for an Apple headset and she gave it to me,” Endrick explained.</p>
  4433.  
  4434.  
  4435.  
  4436. <h2>Palmeiras coach warns player</h2>
  4437.  
  4438.  
  4439.  
  4440. <p>The ‘contract’ between the two parties may have been well-intentioned. Nevertheless, Abel Ferreira, manager of Palmeiras, cautioned the younger player. The spotlight that Endrick’s private life is receiving scares him.</p>
  4441.  
  4442.  
  4443.  
  4444. <p>“I hope he [Endrick] stays focused on football and doesn’t get distracted by other things. If you want to reach higher levels, you have to focus on what is essential”, he explained.</p>

  4463. <p>Pregame preparations were disrupted ahead of a <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/bundesliga-tv-schedule/">Bundesliga</a> fixture between Heidenheim and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/rb-leipzig-tv-schedule-for-viewers-in-united-states/">RB Leipzig</a> on Saturday. Home Heidenheim fans apparently placed butyric acid in the away section of their own stadium. Around 1,5000 Leipzig supporters made the 215-mile trip to southern Germany for the matchup.</p>
  4464.  
  4465.  
  4466.  
  4467. <p>As fans entered the arena and filled their designated area, Leipzig fans began reporting the issue via social media. Butyric acid is an oily, colorless liquid with a particularly distinctive foul odor. In fact, many say that the acid smells similar to sour milk or even human vomit. The compound was apparently first discovered by scientists in rancid butter and is currently a common industrial chemical.</p>
  4468.  
  4469.

  4474.  
  4475.  
  4476.  
  4477. <p>Following the incident, Heidenheim officials cleaned off the section of the stadium to properly accommodate the traveling fans. Executives from the German side also offered appropriate apologizes to their counterparts as well. </p>
  4478.  
  4479.  
  4480.  
  4481. <p>“We apologized to our guests from Leipzig before the game and cleaned the guest block as best we could this morning,” Heidenheim board member Petra Saretz <a href="https://rblive.de/news/gestank-im-gaesteblock-rb-fans-mit-buttersaeure-empfangen-3829368" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">told</a> German news outlet <em>Bild</em>. “Of course we will investigate this matter.”</p>
  4482.  
  4483.  
  4484.  
  4485. <h2>Heidenheim supporters previously protested Leipzig</h2>
  4486.  
  4487.  
  4488.  
  4489. <p>The questionable event was not the first time that Heidenheim fans directed protests at Leipzig. During a previous encounter between the two teams, Heidenheim supporters threw fake dollar bills with Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz on them towards Leipzig’s team bus. There were even reports that Leipzig players had cups filled with urine thrown at them by the fans.</p>
  4490.  
  4491.  
  4492.  
  4493. <p>Mateschitz was an Austrian billionaire and co-owner of the Red Bull energy drink. He helped create the German soccer club in 2009 and turned them into a perennial Bundesliga powerhouse. The move, however, did not go down well with everyone in the country. Leipzig essentially dominated the lower levels of the German soccer pyramid on the way to the top flight.</p>
  4494.  
  4495.  
  4496.  
  4497. <p>This quick ascension was regarded by many as controversial. The club was aided by Red Bull’s corporate structure, rather than traditional management of many other soccer teams in the nation. Mateschitz passed away after a long battle  with pancreatic cancer in the fall of 2022.</p>
  4498.  
  4499.  
  4500.  
  4501. <h2>Leipzig endure acid test to take home three points</h2>
  4502.  
  4503.  
  4504.  
  4505. <p>After taking care of the butyric acid, the match was eventually played without anymore protests. Leipzig would go on to win the game 2-1, thanks to goals from Benjamin Sekso and Lois Openda. The latter strike came just five minutes from the full-time whistle.</p>
  4506.  
  4507.  
  4508.  
  4509. <p>The victory extends Leipzig’s impressive record against newly promoted clubs. In fact, the Red Bulls have now gone 32 consecutive matches without losing to former second-tiered teams. Heidenheim was promoted last summer after winning the 2. Bundesliga a season ago. It is currently their first ever campaign in the German top flight. Despite the lack of experience, the club sits 10th in the Bundesliga table, safe from potential relegation.</p>
  4510.  
  4511.  
  4512.  
  4513. <p>Leipzig remains fourth in the current standings following the victory on Saturday. They are now three points ahead of <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/borussia-dortmund-tv-schedule/">Borussia Dortmund</a> in the table, with the BVB set to play on Sunday. Nevertheless, the Bundesliga will likely get five places in next season’s <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/champions-league-tv-schedule/">Champions League</a>. As a result, both Leipzig and Dortmund should soon book their places in the tournament.</p>
