Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank is under growing internal pressure, with several players reportedly losing faith in his leadership after repeated late tactical changes and role tweaks, which they believe contribute to confusion on the pitch and a string of poor recent results. Sources claim instructions are altered just before kick-off or abandoned early in matches, including the chaotic 5-3 Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, leaving senior players unsure of responsibilities as Spurs chase a turnaround starting with a tricky trip to resurgent Newcastle.

November 2025

Blaise Matuidi has lavished praise on Vitinha after the midfielder’s first career hat trick in PSG’s 5-3 Champions League win against Tottenham, calling the Portuguese star exceptional and suggesting he is now perhaps the best midfielder in the world on current form. Vitinha scored in the 45th, 53rd and 76th minutes, including a late penalty, to cap a complete display of pressing, passing and intelligent movement. Matuidi highlighted his speed of thought, wide shooting range and Thiago Motta style reading of play, and urged him to emulate Luka Modric and chase future Ballon d’Or contention.

Vitinha delivered a career-best display with his first professional hat-trick as Paris Saint-Germain overturned two deficits to beat Tottenham 5-3 in a chaotic Champions League tie, keeping the holders on course for a top-eight league-phase finish and strengthening their grip on qualification. The midfielder equalised before half-time, struck again after Spurs’ second goal, then completed his treble from the penalty spot after Fabian Ruiz and Willian Pacho had scored, later crediting a new goalscoring mindset and inspiration from Joao Neves’ recent hat-trick for his sudden scoring surge.

November 2025

Bayern sporting director Max Eberl is trying to persuade Dayot Upamecano to sign a new contract rather than leave on a free next summer, with Real Madrid, Liverpool and PSG monitoring the 27-year-old defender’s situation ahead of potential negotiations from January. Eberl says Bayern have made a strong offer but insists the decision must be about the “overall package” and not just money, calling Upamecano one of the world’s best centre-backs and describing an extension as an “internal king transfer”, while the player remains non-committal in public.

Luis Diaz has been hit with a three-match Champions League ban for a red-card tackle on Achraf Hakimi in Bayern’s win at Paris Saint-Germain, with UEFA classing the challenge as “serious rough play” after the defender suffered a badly sprained ankle. CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen says Bayern have requested UEFA’s written reasoning and will appeal, arguing the foul was serious but not violent conduct, while sporting director Max Eberl admits three games feels very harsh and that even a reduction to two would be a success.

Bayern winger Luis Diaz has been hit with a three-match Champions League suspension for serious foul play after his red-card tackle on Achraf Hakimi, ruling him out of the top-of-the-table showdown with Arsenal and two further European group games. Diaz scored twice before his dismissal in Bayern’s crucial win over PSG, but UEFA deemed his late challenge dangerously reckless as Hakimi suffered a severe ankle sprain. Vincent Kompany must now navigate decisive ties against Arsenal, Sporting CP and Union Saint-Gilloise without a key attacker.

Achraf Hakimi has been named African Player of the Year after a treble-winning season with Paris Saint-Germain, beating Mohamed Salah and Victor Osimhen as he capped a landmark awards night that also recognised Morocco’s growing influence across men’s and women’s football.

With Hakimi sidelined six to eight weeks, PSG accelerated full-back scouting and joined Barcelona in tracking Muñoz, valued near £26m. Both clubs prize his engine, overlap timing, and defensive recovery, with January and summer pathways under consideration. PSG weigh a winter bid to plug a right-side void; Barcelona prefer pre-agreement mechanics given cap constraints. Palace will push premium pricing amid Europa-qualification aims and a thin market for plug-and-play, peak-age attacking full-backs.

November 2025

PSG are exploring a move or pre-contract for García, who enters his last six months next summer. Luis Enrique wants a ball-secure, tactically flexible defender as injuries strain depth and right-side cover behind Achraf Hakimi becomes urgent. Pathways include a winter fee or summer free. García’s press resistance and line-breaking passes suit PSG’s high-possession structure. Barcelona’s stance hinges on contract horizon and squad health; PSG weigh cost versus short-term availability with Champions League knockout depth a priority.
