Liverpool have taken just one point from their three matches following the title-clinching rout of Tottenham on April 27.

The nominees will be announced in early August.

The 14-year-old forward scored his first two international goals for Portugal’s U15 side at the Vlatko Markovic tournament in Croatia, marking a promising start to his international journey.

“[We need to] keep going. It's a complicated time,” Messi said in a post-match interview with Apple TV.

With second-placed Inter Milan also playing out a 2-2 draw against Lazio in a simultaneous kickoff, Napoli will head into their final match against Cagliari with a one-point advantage.

With the domestic title out of reach, Bellingham and Real Madrid have now set their sights on international silverware.

With regular taker Erling Haaland on the pitch, it came as a surprise when the Norwegian handed penalty duties to Marmoush. The Egyptian forward hesitated before his spot-kick, and Henderson dived the right way to preserve Palace’s lead.

Guardiola's side will finish without major silverware for the first time in eight years after crashing to a 1-0 defeat against Crystal Palace at Wembley on Saturday.

The 20-year-old centre-back has impressed in his one season in the Premier League after joining the Cherries from Juventus in 2024 for £12.8 million.

City were deposed as Premier League champions by Liverpool for the first time in five years and are facing a first trophyless season since Guardiola's debut campaign in 2016/17 if they do not beat Crystal Palace in this weekend's showpiece match at Wembley.

"Yamal is a pure, unique talent, a player who has proven to be different from the rest. He grew up in Barcelona's academy, where the 'Lionel Messi' identity is very present, so these kids copy that format," Trezeguet, a World Cup winner with France in 1998, told reporters.

"If we changed four coaches in less than three years, something isn't working (...) In my opinion, Ancelotti was brought in to get results, so we have to help him," said Dunga, a World Cup winner with Brazil in 1994 and former coach of the national team.

The 14-year-old forward, who plays for Al Nassr’s academy, came on as a substitute in the 54th minute with Portugal already leading 3-0, thanks to a hat-trick from Braga’s Rafael Cabral. Ronaldo Jr wore the iconic No. 7 shirt, the same number his father famously wore during his glittering career.

Widely considered the greatest female footballer of all time, the number 10 last wore the Brazil jersey in the Olympic final, losing 1-0 to the United States on August 10 in Paris.

"Football, like life, is an adventure that begins and ends," added the 65-year-old, who also lifted the European Cup twice as AC Milan coach.

Brazil wants to reclaim its crown. Ancelotti wants one final masterpiece. The timing may be perfect.
