January 2026

Luis Enrique defended Diaz after his late Panenka penalty was saved, a moment that became a focal point of criticism following Morocco’s defeat to Senegal. He argued football outcomes should not define a player’s character, cited the pressure created by the long delay and protests before the kick, and noted many elite players have taken Panenkas in major matches, with judgment changing only based on whether it goes in.

Ousmane Dembele
December 2025

Dembele was named Best Male Player at the Globe Soccer Awards, completing a clean sweep of 2025 honours after also winning the Ballon d’Or and FIFA’s Best men’s award. His 35-goal 2024-25 season powered PSG to their first ever Champions League title in dominant fashion. The winger finally delivered on long-hyped potential, driving PSG through a ruthless knockout run that included three Premier League scalps before a 5-0 demolition of Inter in the final.

Antonio Rudiger
December 2025

Rudiger’s Madrid deal expires at the end of next season and renewal talks, originally opened with a mutual desire to agree new terms, have been placed on hold. With no extension yet in place, Chelsea, PSG, Galatasaray and Saudi clubs are circling for a 2026 move. Negotiations were paused by mutual agreement after Rudiger suffered a muscle injury, with both club and player choosing to focus on his recovery before revisiting figures. His previous success at Chelsea, plus lucrative Saudi interest, gives him multiple options as he decides whether to stay in Spain or return to the Premier League.

Liverpool eye Goncalo Ramos loan to plug Isak gap up front

Goncalo Ramos
December 2025

Liverpool are exploring a six-month loan move for PSG striker Goncalo Ramos as they seek immediate cover for record signing Alexander Isak, whose serious injury has left Arne Slot short of centre-forward options at a crucial stage in the Premier League title race. Reports claim Ramos, who has nine goals this season, fits Liverpool’s pressing demands and penalty-box profile, offering a ready-made stopgap that would bolster depth alongside in-form Hugo Ekitike without forcing another huge permanent outlay so soon after their £125 million Isak investment.

Rafinha Alcantara retires as injuries end stop-start elite career

Rafinha Alcantara
December 2025

Barcelona treble winner Rafinha has confirmed his retirement from professional football, drawing a line under a career shaped by immense technical talent but repeatedly disrupted by injuries, which limited his impact and curtailed the sustained rhythm required to fully match expectations around his famous footballing family. Emerging from La Masia and debuting for Barça in 2011, Rafinha spent nine uneven years at Camp Nou, punctuated by layoffs and loans, before a 2020 move to PSG. Despite flashes of class and major honours, he never escaped comparisons to brother Thiago, with fitness issues ultimately dictating his decision to walk away.

Leboeuf says PSG needed Mbappe exit to finally win Champions League

Kylian Mbappe
December 2025

Frank Leboeuf argued that PSG’s long-awaited Champions League title only became possible once Mbappe, Messi and Neymar had departed, insisting the previous superstar trio lacked collective balance, with three forwards and “eight other guys” leaving the club more like an all-star showcase than a cohesive team. Praising Luis Enrique’s decision to rebuild around work rate and tactical discipline, Leboeuf said removing untouchable stars allowed a true system to emerge, turning PSG into “the best team in the world” within months, and compared the dangers of overloaded frontlines to Real Madrid’s early-2000s Galacticos era.

Safonov’s Penalty Heroics Seal Intercontinental Cup For PSG

Matvei Safonov
December 2025

PSG needed penalties to finish off Flamengo after a tense 1-1 draw, with Safonov saving four of five spot-kicks in a brutal shootout. Kvaratskhelia’s back-post finish and Jorginho’s trademark penalty set up a nervy, hard-fought finale between continental champions. VAR chalked off Fabian Ruiz’s early strike before Kvaratskhelia converted Doue’s low cross. A soft but given penalty on Marquinhos let Jorginho level, and extra-time saw misses at both ends. In the shootout, Safonov repeatedly guessed right, dragging PSG over the line 2-1.

Dayot Upamecano
December 2025

Max Eberl publicly rejected claims that Dayot Upamecano’s camp issued threats or ultimatums over a new deal, insisting weeks of talks over a contract extension are ongoing and that Bayern’s “great wish” remains to secure the French defender on a long-term agreement. With Madrid and PSG circling and German reports suggesting negotiations had broken down, Eberl branded stories of cancellations, threats and deadlines as “all nonsense”, stressing discussions are professional and constructive while hinting Bayern hope, but cannot guarantee, a signed extension before year’s end.
