Neste domingo (5), Internacional e Novo Hamburgo ficaram no empate em 0 a 0 pela quinta rodada do Campeonato Gaúcho. O confronto foi de poucas chances criadas, com o Colorado tendo apenas duas de mais perigo, ambas com Wanderson, mas que não conseguiu marcar.

O Internacional teve as melhores oportunidades para criar as jogadas e quase chegou ao gol em duas boas oportunidades, ambas já nos acréscimos da primeira etapa.

Pelo lado do Novo Hamburgo, a melhor oportunidade foi com Lucas Gaúcho. O primeiro tempo foi extremamente físico e com pouca inspiração de ambos os lados, que sofreram com as condições do gramado.

O Novo Hamburgo voltou melhor para o segundo tempo. O time da casa tentou pressionar e criar chances. Aos poucos, o Internacional foi recuperando a posse de bola, mas pouco conseguiu agredir o adversário.

​A melhor chegada do Inter no segundo tempo aconteceu aos 36 minutos. Bustos apareceu pela direita, invadiu a área e cruzou. Com o gol aberto, Wanderson desviou de pé esquerdo sem direção e perdeu uma grande oportunidade.

O Inter se lançou ao ataque e foi em busca do gol da vitória. Alan Patrick arriscou, mas acertou a trave.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  More recruitment records have been smashed in 2025, in an ongoing bid to reach the Premier League, but Phil Parkinson’s side have picked up just one point from three games at the start of the 2025-26 campaign.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Parkinson admits that he may need “one or two” more additions before the summer window closes, but questions are being asked of whether Wrexham should continue to throw money at a project that remains well ahead of schedule.

  WHAT STELLING SAID

  Jeff Stelling told of Parkinson’s transfer claims: “It's been this incredible uphill climb they've had but they've spent £23m in pre-season at the moment. That's just less than Inter Milan and manager Phil Parkinson admits the spending might not be over. Now, if I'm Ryan Reynolds or Rob McElhenney, those are not words I want to hear.”

O São Bernardo assumiu a liderança geral do Campeonato Paulista. Com a vitória por 1 a 0 sobre o São Paulo, em pleno Morumbi, na noite deste sábado (25), a equipe do ABC chegou aos 26 pontos. E só por isso o técnico tricolor, Rogério Ceni, usou sua fala após o duelo para reconhecer a superioridade do rival.

– Partindo do princípio que o São Bernardo primeiro é uma boa equipe, independente de custos. O resultado foi merecedor. Apesar de nós controlarmos o jogo em posse e passes, eles tiveram as melhores oportunidades. Mostra a qualidade deles. Eu acho que mesmo com todo o controle de jogo, as melhores oportunidades acabaram sendo deles.

+ATUAÇÕES: Ninguém vai bem no São Paulo, e substituições de Ceni não têm efeito na derrota

Segundo Ceni, o jogo do Tricolor neste sábado teve os seus méritos

– Nós tivemos muitas finalizações, mas não soubemos aproveitá-las. Acho que teve os seus bons momentos no jogo. Mesmo eles apertando a gente tinha as soluções. Achamos muitos passes entre as linhas e não conseguimos dar sequência nas jogadas. Mas o ponto forte deles é a velocidade…

Velocidade envolve forma física. E aí vem a avaliação mais direta de Ceni. O treinador deu força pública ao grupo e admitiu que precisa aprimorar mais o Tricolor contra adversários que atuam desta maneira.

– Não adianta se abater pelas vaias. Críticas são normais depois de você perder de novo com o estádio com mais de 50 mil (pessoas). Espero que sirva de lição para a gente, aprender a competir com equipes mais físicas, como o São Bernardo, e render mais do que rendemos hoje.

Barcelona are eyeing Villarreal teen striker Etta Eyong, with his low release clause also attracting interest from Real Betis.

Barcelona interested in Villareal striker EyongHe has a release clause of €10 millionBetis is also intersted in the strikerFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

According to , Villarreal’s Eyong has a release clause of up to €10 million (£9m/$11m) attracting interest from Betis and Barcelona. The Catalan club could snap him up and sending him on loan, though their registration troubles could derail their effort.

Eyong netted 19 goals and six assists last season with Villarreal B in the Primera Federacion and has already made an impact with the first team in their strong start to the 2025-26 season, scoring and setting up a goal each in their first two La Liga games. However if Villareal complete the signing of Artem Dovbyk from Roma, it could mean less gametime for Eyong, which could hamper his development.

DID YOU KNOW?

Barcelona have been struggling with registration issues since the start of the window. After registering Joan Garcia and Marcus Rashford, they are finally set to add Wojciech Szczesny to their squad with Inaki Pena to be loaned out, while Gerard Martin's registration remains unclear. Another new signing, Roony Bardghji, could even be loaned back to Copenhagen if they cannot register him.

Lionel Messi and Inter Miami had chances but couldn't contain a clinical Seattle team in front of a record home crowd

Lionel Messi had scored 33 goals across 33 club finals. But in his 34th, he was silenced as the Seattle Sounders stunned Inter Miami 3-0 in front of a raucous home crowd to lift the Leagues Cup trophy in the 2025 final on Sunday night.

Lumen Field delivered an electric atmosphere, with a record crowd of 69,314  – surpassing the old mark of 69,274. And, in a rare sight, most of that support was for the home side rather than the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner. Seattle fed off it from the start.

The Sounders pressed immediately and nearly struck inside three minutes. Osaze De Rosario, son of MLS legend Dwayne, found himself unmarked on a free kick just outside the box but sent his effort wide. Minutes later, Messi slipped into the area with a good look at goal, only for Oded Vargas to recover brilliantly with a sliding challenge.

De Rosario made amends in the 26th minute, capping a flowing sequence involving Pedro de la Vega, Jesus Ferreira, and Christian Roldan with a thumping header from Roldan’s pinpoint cross. Ferreira nearly doubled the lead before the break, smashing a shot off the post from close range.

Inter Miami boss Javier Mascherano switched from a 4-4-2 to a 4-3-3 after halftime, and the Herons immediately looked more dangerous. Messi had a golden chance to equalize three minutes into the second half, but after being teed up perfectly by Luis Suárez, he skied his shot into the stands.

At 56 minutes, Mascherano doubled down by pulling defenders for more attackers – a gamble that backfired. The game opened up, and Seattle pounced. Paul Rothrock nearly scored after exploiting Sergio Busquets’ move to centerback.

Brian Schmetzer introduced Georgi Minoungou, who made an instant impact, winning a penalty from Yannick Bright that Alex Roldan dispatched coolly past Oscar Ustari. Rothrock made no mistake with his second big chance, racing clear on a counter to bury Seattle’s third and seal the Leagues Cup title. 

A brawl ensued after the game when Suarez appeared to put Vargas in a headlock. Both benches emptied, with players and coaches throwing punches. The sequence lasted for about two minutes before things ultimately calmed down, and both sides claimed their medals in the trophy presentation.

With the win, Schmetzer becomes the first manager to claim every major North American trophy, solidifying his place among the great American coaches. Both Seattle and Miami clinched berths in next year’s Champions Cup as a result of their participation in the final, along with the LA Galaxy as a result of their third-place game win.

  Goalkeeper & Defense

  Oscar Ustari (6/10):

  Not much he could do with Seattle's opener. Made a crucial save on a one-on-one with Rothrock in the second half. 

  Jordi Alba (6/10):

  Solid but not his normal creative force in the final and Miami suffered as a result. 

  Maxi Falcon (6/10):

  Struggled initially in marking De Rosario, but more than made up for it in the second half. Made several important key plays for Inter Miami, including bailing out Busquets in the second half after he was easily beaten on defense. 

  Gonzalo Lujan (5/10):

  Miami couldn't contain De Rosario in the first half – despite Seattle scoring just one goal – and Lujan was part of the problem as he couldn't handle the physicality of the Sounders' striker. Pulled in the 56th minute as Mascherano made an attacking substitution with Telasco Segovia coming on. 

  Ian Fray (6/10):

  Effective but quiet night for the 23-year-old. Fray didn't make any mistakes, but didn't offer much on attack. Was brought off in the 70th minute for Fafa Picault in an attacking change.

  Midfield

  Sergio Busquets (6/10):

  Was a strong facilitator in the first half, then was moved to central defense in the second half as Mascherano wanted to go with a more attacking lineup. Showed his age against Seattle's pace and got a yellow card in the 69th minute. Was burned badly on a counterattack as Rothrock nearly scored after the former Barca star couldn't keep up. 

  Yannick Bright (5/10):

  Did the dirty work as always, but he will regret a costly mistake in bringing Minoungou down for a penalty. 

  Rodrigo De Paul (7/10):

  It was a tale of two halves. In the first, he looked completely lost as a wide player in a 4-4-2. But once shifted into a three-man central midfield after the break, he came alive. At Atlético Madrid, De Paul built his reputation as one of the world’s best in a central or defensive role, not on the wing. That’s been clear since he arrived in Miami, and it was especially obvious on Sunday. The moment he moved inside, he became far more effective.

• Attack

  Lionel Messi (6/10):

  Quiet night for the usually unstoppable and inevitable star. Messi had no answers for Seattle's physicality or pace in recovery. His missed chance immediately after the break summed up his night. 

  Luis Suarez (8/10):

  One of his most effective nights as a Inter Miami player was perfect in link-up play and created chance after chance. The fact that he connected on three key passes – all in the box – tells an unfortunate story for Miami. They just weren't clinical enough. Suarez's rating would have been higher if it weren't for his postgame actions.

  Tadeo Allende (5/10):

  Went from wide midfielder to winger, but it didn't matter. He was invisible and had an easy chance, created by Suarez, and couldn't convert directly in front of goal.

  Subs & Manager

  Telasco Segovia (5/10):

  Wasn't as direct as he typically is and didn't make much of an impact. 

  Fafa Picault (5/10):

  Brought some width, but that's about it. A quiet night from the Haiti international. 

  Benjamin Cremaschi (NA):

  Brought on with six minutes left for Bright, after he conceded the penalty. Didn't have much time to make an impact. 

  Javier Mascherano (5/10):

  Where to begin? The Argentine was clearly outcoached by Schmetzer, with Inter Miami unable to respond. More concerning was his insistence on starting De Paul as a wide midfielder. He did make a smart adjustment by shifting to a 4-3-3 in the second half, but then undercut his own team by stripping away defensive balance to chase the game. With Miami trailing by one, it came off as a desperate move. In the end, Mascherano seemed to coach his team out of a potential win.

Newcastle have reignited interest in Inter star Davide Frattesi, but their opening proposal falls short of the Serie A side’s demands.

Newcastle renew interest in FrattesiLoan with obligation to buy exploredInter open to talks on midfielderFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

According to , Newcastle have returned for Inter midfielder Frattesi, opening discussions over a loan deal with an obligation to buy. The Premier League club are eager to strengthen their midfield and view the Italian international as an ideal addition. Inter, however, remain firm on their €40 million (£34m/$44m) valuation and are only open to such a formula if the conditions are straightforward and guaranteed.

AdvertisementGetty Images SportTHE BIGGER PICTURE

Frattesi joined Inter in 2023 from Sassuolo and quickly built a reputation for scoring decisive goals, including a Champions League semi-final winner against Barcelona last season. Despite his knack for delivering in key moments, he struggled to establish himself as a regular starter under Simone Inzaghi. With Cristian Chivu now in charge, the Nerazzurri see the 25-year-old as a player worth keeping and are even considering extending his contract. The Magpies’ interest highlights the demand for midfield reinforcements in the Premier League, but the deal hinges on financial terms aligning with Inter’s stance.

TELL ME MORE…

The Italian has long been admired in England for his energy and ability to make late runs into the box. Newcastle believe he can add goals from midfield while also fitting into Eddie Howe’s high-intensity system. However, the sticking point remains Newcastle’s proposal: their obligation to buy is tied to tougher conditions, while Inter want guarantees that make a transfer inevitable. Despite not being officially listed for sale, Frattesi’s future could yet be decided if Newcastle improve their terms.

AFPWHAT NEXT FOR NEWCASTLE AND INTER?

Newcastle are expected to hold further talks with Inter as they seek to adjust their offer. If the Magpies can present a package that satisfies the Nerazzurri, a deal could progress quickly. Inter, meanwhile, will push to keep Frattesi unless the English side come forward with a bid that reflects their demands. The midfielder’s future will likely be resolved before the end of the transfer window.

Wayne Rooney suspects "something's broken" at Manchester United following Ruben Amorim's post-game statements after the shock defeat to Grimsby Town.

• Rooney worried about his former club
• Believes Amorim's words were 'damning on the players'
• Feels nobody would want role if Amorim leaves

• WHAT HAPPENED?

  Manchester United's all-time top scorer Rooney has raised alarm bells over the state of his former club, claiming "something's broken" after head coach Amorim’s post-match comments following the Red Devils' shock Carabao Cup defeat to League Two minnows Grimsby Town earlier this week.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Following the second round defeat, Amorim didn't mince his words and suggested that his side did not play as a team. "I know that the best team won. The only team that was on the pitch," said the manager. "The best players lost. Any team can win against a group of players. I think that the team and the players spoke really loud today. That’s it. We lost, the best team won. It’s not just the space [Manchester United gave Grimsby], but the way we started the game without any intensity. All of the ideas about the pressure, we were completely lost. It is hard to explain."

  There has been growing speculation that the former Sporting CP boss could resign from his role at Old Trafford if he doesn't produce an immediate turnaround in fortunes, despite reports that he retains backing from the United hierarchy.

• WHAT WAYNE ROONEY SAID

  Speaking on BBC's , Rooney said: “The biggest concern is the manager’s words after the game were damning on the players. Being in a position where I've been in that dressing room, if your manager comes out with those words, there’s something broken.

  “There's something not right. That's clear. The manager said that after the game and that's clear for everyone to see. Even though it's only three games into the season it's getting to a point where it's like, ‘what is going on?’

  “The problem we've got now is who would want to take it [manager's job]? Which is crazy to say. You've got one of the biggest clubs in the world and you're probably just sitting there thinking… not now.

  “We forget he's 40, he's a young manager. Manchester United is so different to where he's been before. There's the media team, the commercial team, the fans, it's completely different. There's a pressure with United which he will never have felt before. When you're not winning games, that starts to get to you. It looks like this was a breaking point for him.”

The acquisition of a potential new No.1 was always a top priority at Old Trafford throughout the summer window. Many considered World Cup winner Martinez to be the ideal candidate to take over from error-prone Andre Onana between the sticks at the so-called ‘Theatre of Dreams’.

Argentina international Martinez was open to said move, having seemingly bid farewell to Aston Villa fans at the end of the 2024-25 campaign, but the enigmatic 32-year-old was left hanging as the deadline passed with no deal done.

DID YOU KNOW?

According to , Martinez “called on his Argentina team-mate, United defender Lisandro Martinez, to try to advocate for him with people at United” as the clock ticked down. He also “spoke to Ruben Amorim in June and July about a prospective move”, with United’s Portuguese coach of the opinion that the South American’s “character and experience would be beneficial for his side”.

Only one call was made, regarding a loan deal that was never going to be acceptable to Villa. From there, Martinez’s salary became a problem – with the ex-Arsenal shot-stopper working on terms in the West Midlands until 2029 that see him earn more than Onana. A fee of over £30 million ($41m) also needed to be factored into the equation.

O que se sabe sobre a possível chegada do italiano Carlo Ancelotti para ser o novo técnico da Seleção Brasileira? No que depender dos jogadores, muito. Nesta quinta-feira (23), em sua entrevista após os treinos no Marrocos, onde o time nacional encara os donos da casa em amistoso no próximo sábado (25), às 19h (de Brasília), foi a vez do atacante Vini Jr comentar sobre o nome mais sonhado para o ciclo nacional visando a Copa do Mundo de 2026.

Na última terça-feira (21) fora a vez do goleiro Ederson falar sobre a possível vinda de Ancelotti para a equipe da CBF. Mas de um ponto de vista mais objetivo, a opinião da revelação do Flamengo é muito mais fundamental. Afinal, todos os dias ele trabalha com o italiano no Real Madrid. E, claro, os elogios permearam as falas.

– O Ancelotti é o melhor técnico que eu tive na carreira, sempre tenho um carinho grande por ele e ele por mim. Sei que não só aqui, mas também no Real ele vai me ajudar.

Se Ederson brincou que ‘ajudaria’ na vinda mais rápida de Ancelotti para a Seleção, eliminando Real Madrid na Champions League o quanto antes, Vini mostrou ponderação sobre o tema.

– É um pouco difícil falar sobre esse assunto. Se eu o tiver na Seleção, não vou ter no Real. E se eu tiver ele no Real, não vou ter na Seleção.

Se já chamava a atenção a fala do ponta sobre uma possível ajuda de Ancelotti em seu futebol, ele vai além e diz que acredita que há sim o interesse do experiente treinador em assumir o selecionado brasileiro.

– Acredito que todos os treinadores gostariam de treinar a nossa seleção, é um grande grupo tecnicamente e dentro do grupo todo mundo é uma família, não tem problema com ninguém. Acredito que ele queira sim (estar na Seleção).

Ancelotti, segundo ventilado, é o nome de maior predileção do presidente da CBF, Edinaldo Rodrigues, que espera fechar em abril a contratação do substituto de Tite.

– Por tudo o que ele fez por mim, todos os ensinamentos e o carinho que ele tem por jogadores jovens, especialmente os jogadores brasileiros. Sempre converso com o Ronaldo e ele fala que o Ancelotti foi o melhor treinador que ele já teve. Estando no dia a dia com ele pude ver que é um dos melhores, por isso ganhou tanto e por isso é tão respeitado.
