Robert Lewandowski has given no firm answer on his next move, responding vaguely to questions about reported interest from Juventus and AC Milan. I did not find a stronger primary-source confirmation of a concrete Juventus or Milan bid in the checked sources, so this remains transfer speculation rather than a verified move. The safest read is that Lewandowski’s future is still unresolved and being heavily discussed, but the specific framing of a near-term decision between Juventus and Milan is not confirmed by the sources I checked.

Eric Garcia was sent off late in Barcelona’s 2-1 win at Atletico Madrid, leaving Barca with 10 men as they chased the goal that would have forced extra time. Atletico still progressed 3-2 on aggregate to reach their first Champions League semi-final in nine years. Garcia was dismissed after a VAR review for a last-man foul on Alexander Sorloth in the 80th minute. Barcelona had already fought back from the 2-0 first-leg deficit with early goals from Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres, but Ademola Lookman’s reply for Atletico proved decisive over the tie.
