Published

Next year, the Champions League will enter a new era, with a new format. No more group stages, now there will be a mini-championship of 36 teams. But there will not be 35 matches to play for each team, only eight, four at home, four away. The opponents will be given via a draw. While, as stipulated in UEFA regulations, each team must play its four home matches in the same venue, FC Barcelona has made a specific request to the European body.

The media Sport reveals that the Catalan club and UEFA are negotiating for Barça’s final matches to be played at the Camp Nou, once the renovation is complete. Barça will start their season at the Olímpic Lluís Companys, with the Camp Nou still under construction, but hope to return to their historic home in early 2025. Except that the schedule for the first phase of the Champions League, which has been unveiled, foresees the first six rounds taking place before the end of the year and the last two to be played on 21-22 January and 29 January. So it is impossible to play the entire first phase at the Camp Nou, but it is possible to hypothetically play two matches. It remains to be seen whether UEFA will accept this request.

It is a tragedy for Moroccan football. Five players from Ittihad Tangier have disappeared at sea during a yacht trip.

Communication with the boat was lost while five Ittihad Tangier players, including a first-team member and several hopefuls, were on board.

UPDATE

According to local media Le360, the passengers jumped into the water to swim, and strong winds then pushed the yacht away from the water. The Royal Gendarmerie and the Royal Navy managed to save three players, found more than 800 meters from the shore after an hour and a half of searching. Two other people are still missing. An investigation has been opened by the gendarmerie services following this incident. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Madison Keys Forced to Retire Due to Injury at Wimbledon, Jasmine Paolini Advances to Quarter-Finals

Published

By


A little drama unfolded on Court 1 at Wimbledon this Sunday. Madison Keys, in tears, had to resign herself to abandoning against Jasmine Paolini while she had narrowly escaped victory a few minutes earlier, leading 5-2 double break before injuring her left thigh and having to give up continuing this spectacular and emotional fight. The American, who had just conceded an ace, preferred to leave it there after 2 hours and 23 minutes of play, losing 6-3, 6-7(6), 5-5 (15-A) and letting her opponent slip away to her first quarter-final at Wimbledon. She will face another American, Coco Gauff or Emma Navarro.

The Roland-Garros finalist came within two points of victory in the deciding game of a second set that was already full of twists and turns, as she came back from 5-1, 40-15 down before losing on the wire. We thought we had settled the score. But that was without her extraordinary fighting spirit. And without the bad luck that struck Madison, of course. At 5-4, the latter left the court for a long medical timeout during which she had her left adductor strapped. But we quickly saw upon her return, when she could barely walk and push off on her legs, that it would be complicated. She tried to close on her serve but, once it was lost on a double fault, it was a lost cause.

A stroke of luck for the Italian but she fully deserves the good fortune that is currently accompanying her. She who had never won a match on grass before this year therefore follows a semi-final in Eastbourne with a first quarter-final here. She is the fifth Italian to reach the “big 8” in London after Laura Golarsa (1989), Silvia Farina Elia (2003), Francesca Schiavone (2009) and Camila Giorgi (2018).
