World Soccer Talk https://worldsoccertalk.com EN Thu, 29 Oct 2026 21:15:08 +0000 World Soccer Talk https://statics.worldsoccertalk.com/img/512x512_Dark_BG.png https://worldsoccertalk.com https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/carlos-tevez-confirms-lionel-messi-will-play-in-his-farewell-match-while-cristiano-ronaldo-remains-uncertain/ Carlos Tevez confirms Lionel Messi will play in his farewell match, while Cristiano Ronaldo remains uncertain Thu, 29 Oct 2026 17:10:15 -0400 Carlos Tevez has revealed that Lionel Messi will be part of his farewell match at La Bombonera, a star-studded event scheduled for Dec. 20, while the participation of Cristiano Ronaldo remains uncertain.

The former Boca Juniors striker announced the farewell in early September, and while he retired professionally in 2021, he will return to the stadium one more time to put on the boots for a final goodbye.

The news came during an appearance on the podcast of former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand, who is also among the guests. Tevez said the match will be played between Boca and a team of his closest friends, and he confirmed the presence of two big names. “Messi and Riquelme are going to play,” the Apache said, referring to Boca president Juan Roman Riquelme, who will take part as a player.

Beyond the confirmations from Tevez himself, Infobae reported that the guest list includes Gabriel Batistuta, Gianluigi Buffon, Edwin van der Sar, Sergio Aguero, Arturo Vidal, Patrice Evra, Martin Palermo, Pablo Zabaleta, Esteban Cambiasso, Nicolas Burdisso and Sebastian Battaglia. Tevez would also like Roberto Mancini and Carlos Bianchi to coach the two teams, although that has not been confirmed.

Ronaldo among the stars yet to reply

The biggest question mark is Cristiano Ronaldo. Tevez has long wanted to bring the two superstars together on the same pitch, and back in April 2025 he said he would personally reach out to both.

For now, the Portuguese forward is on a list of players who have not yet responded, along with Andrea Pirlo, Angel Di Maria, Gonzalo Higuain, Daniele De Rossi, Giorgio Chiellini, Paul Pogba, Paul Scholes and Wayne Rooney, who could also attend.

Infobae also noted that the event could feature appearances from Formula 1 driver Franco Colapinto and tennis former star Juan Martin Del Potro, both well-known Boca fans, as well as musical performances.

For Tevez, who scored 94 goals in 279 games for Boca and won 11 titles with the club, it will be a long-awaited farewell in front of the fans who adored him.

The Portuguese forward found the net three times in 15 minutes after the hour mark, in his first match since winning the Ballon d’Or of All Time award.

The first half was chaotic. Ronaldo had a goal ruled out for offside early on, and Julien Domingues put Al Kholood ahead soon after. Angelo then equalized from a Joao Felix assist, Sadio Mane turned the match around on the counter-attack, and Loic Essomba tied it at 2-2 just before the break.

Ronaldo had another goal disallowed for offside right after the equalizer, meaning he had two chalked off in the first half and three in his last two matches.

He made up for it after the break. Ronaldo put Al Nassr 3-2 ahead in the 66th minute with an assist from Felix, added a second in the 72nd to make it 4-2, again set up by Felix, and completed the hat-trick in the 81st minute with an assist from Mane. Al Kholood pulled one back late, but Al Nassr held on for a 5-3 win that sends them to the top of the Saudi Pro League table, at least until Al Hilal face Al Fateh.

Why the Saudi Pro League’s count differs

The 985 figure counts a goal in the 3-1 win over Al Faisaly on Oct. 23 that the Saudi Pro League did not record as Ronaldo’s. Although some journalists in Saudi Arabia claim the league credited the goal to the Portuguese star, the league’s official website listed him with four goals this season instead of five before tonight’s match. By the official count, the hat-trick takes him to 984 career goals, one fewer than the total reported by Fabrizio Romano and other outlets.

At 41, he continues to score at a steady pace for Al Nassr, who have won four in a row and are chasing the league leaders in the title race. Whether the Saudi Pro League eventually changes its records or not, the Portuguese star appears to be moving closer to the historic mark with every match.

]]> https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/cristiano-ronaldo-scores-67th-career-hat-trick-how-his-record-compares-to-lionel-messi/ Cristiano Ronaldo scores 67th career hat-trick: How his record compares to Lionel Messi Thu, 29 Oct 2026 16:46:05 -0400 Cristiano Ronaldo remains soccer’s ultimate scoring machine. In Al Nassr’s pulsating 5–3 victory over Al Kholood, the Portuguese icon produced his 67th career hat-trick, extending his cushion over Lionel Messi at the summit of the sport’s all-time treble leaderboard.

On his relentless march toward 1,000 official career goals, Ronaldo delivered a vintage second-half clinic at Alawwal Park, bagging three goals in a devastating 15-minute blitz to secure three crucial points for Al Nassr in the 2026–27 Saudi Pro League.

Reaching 67 career hat-tricks creates further daylight between Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, who sits on 62 career trebles across his legendary stints with Barcelona, Inter Miami, and Argentina. While the two icons have traded statistical records for nearly two decades, Ronaldo’s latest milestone reaffirms his unmatched volume as a pure penalty-box marksman

The race to 1,000 career goals heats up

While Ronaldo enters every campaign chasing team silverware, his most historic personal pursuit remains the unprecedented quest to breach the 1,000-goal barrier—a benchmark never verified in top-tier professional football.

Following Thursday’s treble, Ronaldo stands at 985 official career goals for club and country. With more than half of the domestic season remaining, continental fixtures on the horizon, and an active role with the Portugal national team, the 41-year-old is firmly on course to eclipse the four-figure mark before the 2026–27 campaign concludes.

Ronaldo recently hinted that this season may well be his last as a professional player, adding dramatic urgency to every appearance. If he crowns his extraordinary career by becoming the first player in history to score 1,000 official goals, he will have conquered football’s final statistical frontier, paving the way for a fitting farewell at the pinnacle of the sport.

As discussions about Ronaldo’s legacy grow following his first Saudi Pro League title, Conceicao has highlighted the qualities that continue to distinguish the 41-year-old from other players.

Ronaldo arrived in Saudi Arabia in early 2023 as one of soccer’s biggest global stars, bringing enormous attention to a league seeking to establish itself on the international stage. His performances have helped keep that spotlight firmly on Saudi soccer, while his latest domestic triumph has added another significant achievement to his career.

Al-Nassr won the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League title in May 2026, ending a wait for domestic league success that had lasted since 2019. The Riyadh club sealed the championship with a 4-1 victory over Damac on the final matchday, with Ronaldo scoring twice to help secure the title.

The result represented a major milestone for the Portuguese forward, who had experienced several seasons of disappointment in his pursuit of league silverware in Saudi Arabia. Ronaldo finished the campaign with 27 league goals before adding another in the title-deciding match, taking his tally to 28.

His first Saudi league championship gave tangible recognition to his contribution since joining Al-Nassr. However, the discussion surrounding his influence has increasingly focused on the standards he brings to the club and the wider competition, beyond what supporters see during matches.

Sergio Conceicao explains what keeps Ronaldo competing at 41

In comments in a recent interview on the “Extra Time” podcast presented by the Saudi platform Koora Break, Conceicao praised Ronaldo’s commitment and described him as a pioneer in the Saudi Pro League’s recent transformation: “I think he was one of the first, if not the first, big stars to go to Saudi Arabia.”

Conceicao then turned to the habits that have allowed Ronaldo to remain competitive deep into his forties, emphasizing his ambition and relentless approach to his profession. The coach suggested that Ronaldo’s longevity comes from the demands he places on himself every day. “He’s very demanding of himself, extremely, extremely ambitious, and he sees or focuses on his work as an absolute priority. This is what allows a 41-year-old player to continue competing.”

He added that maintaining such a level at the veteran’s age would be difficult without that commitment, insisting the forward deserves recognition for his continued performances: “Otherwise, it would be very difficult, and we should tip our hats to him, shouldn’t we?” The praise highlights an aspect of Ronaldo’s career that statistics cannot fully capture: the discipline and preparation required to sustain elite performance over such an extended period.

Why Ronaldo’s influence goes beyond the cameras

Ronaldo’s arrival brought unprecedented international attention to Saudi soccer and helped establish the Saudi top division as a more prominent destination for high-profile players. His presence has also kept global audiences interested in Al-Nassr, with the club’s achievements increasingly discussed beyond the region.

Conceicao’s comments suggest that Ronaldo’s contribution also lies in the professional standards he represents. His focus on training, preparation and personal improvement offers an example for teammates and younger players, even when those qualities are less visible than a goal or a trophy celebration.

The coach also acknowledged that Ronaldo remains a figure who can divide opinion, making clear that admiration for his career does not require agreement on every debate surrounding him. “I think there’s certainly no one in the world who is universally loved, right?” Nevertheless, Conceicao argued that Ronaldo’s achievements deserve to be recognized regardless of those disagreements.

“But I think we should give him the credit and applaud an exceptional player who belongs to a very talented group”, he added. The 51-year-old coach concluded his assessment by placing Ronaldo among the finest players Portugal has produced, underlining the scale of his achievements across club and international soccer:  “I believe Cristiano is one of the top five players of all time who were born in Portugal.”

]]> https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/cristiano-ronaldo-gets-portugal-teammate-goncalo-ramos-verdict-on-possible-november-return-after-jorge-jesus-controversy/ Cristiano Ronaldo gets Portugal teammate Goncalo Ramos’ verdict on possible November return after Jorge Jesus controversy Thu, 29 Oct 2026 14:21:41 -0400 Cristiano Ronaldo’s future with Portugal has become a major talking point ahead of the national team’s November UEFA Nations League fixtures, following his recent dispute with head coach Jorge Jesus. With the veteran forward’s disciplinary punishment nearing its end and his name reportedly included in the preliminary squad, teammate Goncalo Ramos has offered his perspective on a potential return that could shape the captain’s next chapter in his international career.

The controversy began during Portugal’s September international camp, when Ronaldo reportedly became frustrated over his playing time and disagreements with Jesus about their previous arrangements. After being left out of the starting lineup against Norway, the Al-Nassr forward subsequently left the team’s preparations in Copenhagen on September 30.

The incident raised questions about whether the five-time Ballon d’Or winner would represent Portugal again, particularly after speculation about his international future intensified. Ronaldo later apologized for his behavior while maintaining that he wanted to continue competing for his country rather than retire amid the disagreement.

The Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) subsequently imposed a 30-day suspension and a €255 fine for his departure from the training camp. The suspension was backdated to the incident, meaning it is due to expire before the November international fixtures and should not force him to miss any matches.

Goncalo Ramos sends message of support

Ronaldo’s potential return has also prompted a response from Goncalo Ramos, who has expressed support for his experienced teammate as Portugal prepares for its upcoming matches. The Paris Saint-Germain striker’s comments suggest that Ronaldo would not face a hostile reception from his teammates if Jesus calls him back.

“If Cris goes to the next stage [referring to a call-up], we’ll be there. Above all, for his legacy, no one will ask him anything,” Ramos said in an interview on the Portuguese television program Soltinhos pelo Mundo on Canal 11.

The message highlights the importance of Ronaldo’s contribution to Portuguese football, regardless of the recent disagreement with the coaching staff. However, Ramos’ supportive words do not confirm that the captain will be included in the final squad or that the issues between Ronaldo and Jesus have been fully resolved.

Will Ronaldo return for Portugal’s November matches?

According to Portuguese outlet O Jogo, Ronaldo has been included in Portugal’s preliminary squad for the upcoming Nations League fixtures. His inclusion keeps the door open for a return, although only the final squad announcement will confirm whether he has been selected.

Portugal is scheduled to host Denmark on November 14 before facing Wales on November 17 in its final group-stage match. The national team has already secured qualification for the Nations League quarter-finals, making the fixtures an opportunity for Jesus to assess his options before the knockout stage.

Jesus must weigh Ronaldo’s experience and record alongside the team’s tactical requirements. The coach and the forward previously worked together at Al-Nassr, adding another dimension to a situation that has attracted considerable attention in Portugal.

The 41-year-old veteran remains the Selecao’s all-time leading scorer and appearance-maker, with 146 international goals and 234 appearances according to the figures provided in reports surrounding the controversy. His achievements include helping Portugal win the 2016 European Championship and the 2018–19 Nations League, establishing him as one of the most influential players in the country’s soccer history.

]]> https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/al-nassr-vs-al-kholood-projected-lineups-for-the-2026-27-saudi-pro-league-match/ Al Nassr vs Al Kholood: Confirmed lineups for the 2026-27 Saudi Pro League match Thu, 29 Oct 2026 13:06:25 -0400 Al Nassr host Al Kholood with the gap between the two clubs already wide on form, and this projected lineup suggests Ange Postecoglou sees no reason to change a winning approach.
Al Nassr come into this one on a three-match winning run. They beat Al-Faisaly 3-1 on October 23, followed a 1-0 win over Neom SC on October 20, and opened that stretch with a 3-0 win over Al Diriyah on October 9. A fourth straight win would keep them firmly in the title picture.
Al Kholood arrive in far worse shape, having lost three in a row. They fell 0-3 to Al-Ettifaq on October 24, were beaten 2-3 by Al-Faisaly on October 15, and before that suffered a heavy 0-5 defeat to Al Qadsiah on October 9. Des Buckingham needs a response just to stop the slide.

Al Nassr confirmed lineup

Postecoglou lines Al Nassr up in a 4-4-2 built around Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane up front, with Joao Felix and Abdullah Al-Khaibari asked to supply width and link play from midfield. Inigo Martinez anchors the back line alongside Abdulelah Al Amri, giving the side experience at the center of defense. There are no absences listed, so Postecoglou has his strongest group available to press home the advantage in form.
Al Nassr confirmed starting XI (4-4-2): Milan Borjan, Awad Dahal, Hussain Qassem, Kader Keita, Hussam Majrashi, Rodrigo Abascal, Fahad Al Jayzani, Victor Lekhal, Trezeguet, Teddy Okou, Bernard Mensah. Coach: Maurício Corrêa Dulac.

Al Kholood confirmed lineup

Buckingham sets Al Kholood up in a 4-3-3, with Coba da Costa leading the line and Julien Domingues and Gustavo Rodrigues providing support from wide areas. John Buckley and Iker Kortajarena sit in midfield to try to control possession against a stronger opponent. With no absences reported, Buckingham can pick from a full squad as he looks to end a three-game losing run.
Al Kholood confirmed starting XI (3-5-2): Koen Casteels, Mohammed Abu Al Shamat, Christopher Bonsu Baah, Gastón Álvarez, Jehad Thakri, Yasser Al Shahrani, Musab Al Juwayr, Tijjani Reijnders, Julián Quiñones, Abdullah Al Salem, Julian Weigl. Coach: Brendan Rodgers.
]]> https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/lionel-messis-inter-miami-compromise-2027-concacaf-champions-cup-spot-with-2-2-draw-vs-cincinnati/ Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami compromise 2027 Concacaf Champions Cup spot with 2-2 draw vs Cincinnati Thu, 29 Oct 2026 12:29:50 -0400 Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami dropped two points at the worst possible time, drawing 2-2 with Cincinnati and putting their place in the 2027 Concacaf Champions Cup at risk. The Herons still hold their destiny in their own hands, but with two matches left in the MLS regular season, the margin for error has nearly disappeared.

The draw leaves the Herons with 56 points, fourth in the overall standings, which is the last position that currently carries a ticket to the continental tournament. Nashville SC lead with 71 points, followed by New England Revolution and Vancouver Whitecaps with 58 each, while FC Dallas sit just two points behind Miami with 54.

The next match is the one that matters most. Miami visits New England on Nov. 1, and only a win would keep them in control. A draw would not be enough because the tiebreaker prioritizes regular-season victories, which would leave the Revolution above them.

If the Herons fail to win and Dallas beat Sporting Kansas City, Miami would fall to fifth place with just one matchday remaining, the home match against Charlotte on Nov. 7.

What happens if Inter Miami finish fifth?

A fifth-place finish would not completely close the door. Miami could still qualify by repeating as MLS Cup champions, which would be a difficult task. They could also get in if one of the top four teams in the regular-season standings wins the MLS Cup, which would push the final berth down the table.

The situation is also shaped by the US Open Cup. St. Louis City, who already qualified as champions of that tournament, would pass their spot down if they finish among the top four, and the runner-up, Columbus Crew, would also take a place. That is why the race for the regular-season spots has become so tight in the final weeks.

Miami can still help themselves by beating New England, and the draw with Cincinnati did not eliminate them from the race. But the result turned what was a comfortable position into a situation where nearly every match in the final stretch will decide whether Messi’s team plays in the continental tournament next year.

]]> https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/cristiano-ronaldo-reacts-to-winning-the-ballon-dor-of-all-time-award-after-beating-lionel-messi-in-the-vote/ Cristiano Ronaldo reacts to winning the BOAT award after beating Lionel Messi in the vote Thu, 29 Oct 2026 11:28:57 -0400 Cristiano Ronaldo has reacted to being named the winner of the Ballon d’Or of All Time award, dedicating the recognition to the supporters. The Portuguese star shared his message on his X account, a day after the result of the public vote was announced.

“Football belongs to the fans! Thank you to all the fans around the world, the Ballon D’Or of All Time is also yours,” Ronaldo wrote. The post, which quickly passed 1.6 million views, was his first public comment since the award was confirmed.

The B.O.A.T. (Best of All Time) prize was decided in an online vote on the official Ballon d’Or website, where fans chose the best individual season among 10 players who had won the Ballon d’Or at least twice.

Ronaldo’s 2008 campaign with Manchester United, which earned him his first Ballon d’Or, finished first, leaving Lionel Messi’s 2012 season in second place, while Ronaldo’s 2017 edition placed third.

A fan vote, not an official Ballon d’Or

It is worth noting that, unlike the traditional Ballon d’Or categories, which are decided by a panel of journalists, the B.O.A.T. does not count as an official award in the same way. It reflects the preference of the fans who took part rather than a formal ruling, which is why it does not change the official tally of Ronaldo’s individual honors.

That tally stands at five Ballon d’Ors: the 2008 award with United and four more in 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017 during his time at Real Madrid. The English club also celebrated the result on its official website, and the Portuguese national team had congratulated its captain in a message of its own.

With the award now added to his résumé, Ronaldo turns his attention back to the pitch, where he is chasing another milestone. The 41-year-old forward sits on 981 career goals, 19 short of 1,000, and continues to lead Al Nassr’s push to defend the Saudi Pro League title, while his future with Portugal remains uncertain after his suspension.

Match Overview

Venezia FC host Inter Milan on Wednesday, October 28 in Serie A action. The home side dropped a 0-1 decision to Genoa last Saturday, October 25, a result that snapped the momentum they built from a 1-0 win over Napoli on October 17. Before that bounce-back win, Venezia FC fell 1-3 to Atalanta on October 12, leaving them with a mixed run of one win and two losses over their last three outings. They will need a much sharper performance at home to avoid a fourth straight defeat in this fixture.
Inter Milan arrive on the back of three consecutive victories. They beat Fiorentina 2-1 on October 25, following a 3-1 win over Bologna on October 17 and a 3-0 rout of Parma on October 10. That stretch has them playing with real confidence heading into Venice. A fourth straight win would extend their dominant run in Serie A and keep their current form intact.

Match Overview

Santa Clara Azores come into this match on a modest run of form. They beat Casa Pia 1-0 on October 10, following a scoreless draw with Braga on September 20. Before that, they edged Arouca 2-1 on September 13. With back-to-back results without a loss, Santa Clara Azores will look to carry that momentum into a tough test against Benfica.
Benfica have won two of their last three outings. A 2-0 win over Guimaraes on October 11 came after a 1-3 loss to Porto on September 20, a result sandwiched by a 3-1 victory against Vicente Barcelos on September 13. Benfica bounced back quickly from that loss to Porto, and they will be aiming to keep their recent winning form going on the road at Santa Clara Azores.

Match Overview

Real Madrid host Sevilla on Sunday, October 18 in LaLiga action. Los Blancos enter on a high note after a 4-3 win over Roma last Wednesday, following a 1-0 victory against Villarreal earlier in October. Their only blemish in this recent stretch came on September 20, when they fell 1-2 to Atlético.
Sevilla‘s form has been shakier heading into Madrid. A 3-3 draw with Levante on October 12 snapped a two-game losing run that included a 1-3 defeat to Villa and a 1-3 loss against Barcelona on September 19. They will need a much sharper performance to leave the Spanish capital with anything.

Match Overview

Real Madrid host RB Leipzig on Wednesday, October 21 in the Champions League off the back of three straight wins. Real Madrid beat Sevilla 4-1 last Sunday, then needed a 4-3 scoreline to get past Roma on October 14, and opened that stretch with a 1-0 win over Villarreal on October 10. The goals have come freely in two of those three games, and Real Madrid arrive with momentum on their side. A fourth consecutive win would keep their group stage campaign on track.
RB Leipzig come into this match having split their last three results. Bayern beat them 6-1 on October 17, a heavy defeat that followed a 1-0 win over PSV four days earlier and a 6-0 rout of Frankfurt on October 10. That mix of a big win, a narrow one, and a lopsided loss leaves RB Leipzig looking to respond on the road. This trip to Madrid is a chance to show the Bayern result was an outlier rather than a trend.

Real Betis host Barcelona at home on Saturday, October 17 in LaLiga play. Betis enter on a high note after beating Porto 3-2 on October 14, a result that followed a 5-2 win over Osasuna on October 11. Before that stretch they had settled for a 1-1 draw with Deportivo on September 20, so the current run of attacking form marks a clear uptick for the hosts.
Barcelona arrive having won each of their last three outings. They beat Galatasaray 4-1 on October 13 and followed that with a 3-0 win over Getafe on October 10, having also defeated Sevilla 3-1 back on September 19.

Match Overview

Queretaro host Cruz Azul on Sunday, October 25 in the 2026 Liga MX Apertura while trying to shake off a rough stretch. They fell 1-2 to San Luis on October 21 and were routed 0-5 by Santos Laguna on October 17, a pair of results that erased the momentum from their 2-0 win over Atlante on October 10. Those back to back losses leave Queretaro searching for answers at home, and they will need a much sharper defensive display to avoid a third straight defeat.
Cruz Azul arrive in good form after three results without a loss. They beat Pachuca 2-1 on October 22 and thrashed Juarez 5-0 on October 18, building on a 3-3 draw with Pumas UNAM on October 12 that showed their attack can trade goals with anyone. With goals coming from multiple matches in a row, Cruz Azul look to carry that scoring touch into Queretaro and extend their unbeaten run.

Match Overview

Pumas UNAM come into this match on Saturday, October 24 off a 0-2 loss to Santos Laguna on October 22. Before that defeat, they beat Atlante 2-1 on October 17 and drew 3-3 with Cruz Azul on October 12. That stretch shows a team capable of scoring freely but also prone to conceding, and they will need to tighten things up defensively against Tigres. A home win would go a long way toward erasing the sting of the Santos Laguna result.
Tigres visit coming off a 0-2 defeat to Leon on October 21, their second winless match in three outings. They had drawn 1-1 with Guadalajara on October 17 after beating Toluca 3-2 on October 10. With just one win in their last three games, Tigres will be looking to find some consistency on the road against Pumas UNAM.

Match Overview

PSG head into Tuesday’s match on a three-game winning streak, having beaten Strasbourg 3-1 on October 17 after a 4-2 win over Man City on October 14. Before that, they beat Le Mans 3-1 on October 10, giving them three straight victories heading into this Champions League matchday. The win over Man City stands out as their most impressive result of the run, showing they can score freely against top-level opposition. With form like this, PSG will want to carry that attacking rhythm into a game against one of their fiercest continental rivals.
Barcelona also arrive in good shape. They beat Betis 5-2 on October 17, following a 4-1 win over Galatasaray on October 13 and a 3-0 result against Getafe on October 10. Three wins in a row, each one scoring at least three goals, suggests their attack is clicking at the right time. This match gives Barcelona a chance to test that scoring form against a direct rival in the Champions League group stage.

Match Overview

Pachuca enter Wednesday’s match without a win in their last three outings. They lost 1-2 to Monterrey on October 19, then settled for a 3-3 draw against Necaxa on October 11 after conceding late. Before that stretch, Pachuca fell 0-1 to Santos Laguna on September 27. The home side will be looking to Wednesday’s game to stop a run that has produced just one point from a possible nine.
Cruz Azul arrive in much better form. A 5-0 win over Juarez on October 18 followed back-to-back 3-3 draws, first against Pumas UNAM on October 12 and then against Toluca on September 26. The goals have kept coming for Cruz Azul in every one of those three matches. That scoring form gives the visitors momentum heading into a trip to face a Pachuca side still searching for their footing.

Match Overview

Monterrey enter this one on a run of good form. They beat Puebla 4-1 on October 22, following a 2-1 win over Pachuca on October 19, and before that they drew 1-1 with CF America on October 11. Three games unbeaten with two wins in that stretch gives Monterrey some momentum heading into Saturday. A result against Chivas would extend that streak and keep them rolling through the Apertura schedule.
Chivas come into the match off a 1-0 win over Necaxa on October 21, sandwiched between two draws, a 1-1 result against Tigres on October 17 and a 1-1 draw with Atlas back on October 11. They have not lost in their last three outings, though two of those three ended level. That pattern of narrow results suggests a tight contest is likely, and Chivas will look to turn one of those draws into a win against Monterrey.

Match Overview

Manchester United host Bournemouth on Sunday, October 25 in the Premier League. United have struggled lately, falling 1-4 to Como on October 21 and settling for a 1-1 draw against Leeds three days before that. Before those results, they lost 0-2 to Atlético on October 13. Three games without a win leaves United searching for answers as they return to home turf.
Bournemouth arrive in much better form. They won 3-0 at Milan on October 22, backing up a 2-0 win over Sunderland on October 18 and a 3-0 victory against Sturm on October 15. Three straight wins have Bournemouth playing with confidence heading into Manchester, and they will look to carry that momentum into a difficult away fixture.

Match Overview

Liverpool host Albion on Sunday, October 25 in the 2026-27 Premier League. The home side come into the match on a three-game winning streak, having beaten Villarreal 4-3 on October 20 after edging past Brentford 2-1 three days earlier. Before that, Liverpool put six goals past LASK in a 6-3 win on October 14. With three straight victories and goals flowing at both ends, Liverpool look to keep their momentum going in front of their own fans.
Albion arrive off the back of a 0-0 draw with Jablonec on October 22, a result that halted a run of two lopsided wins. Four days before that draw, Albion thrashed Palace 5-0, and they had already beaten Kauno Žalgiris 4-0 on October 15. That stretch of results shows Albion can score freely, but the scoreless outing against Jablonec will raise questions about how they finish chances away from home. A win at Anfield would snap any lingering doubts and give Albion a statement result in this Premier League meeting.

Match Overview

Inter Milan host Fiorentina on Sunday, October 25 in Serie A play. The hosts enter on a high note after beating Bologna 3-1 on October 17, a result that followed a 3-0 win over Parma on October 10. Before that stretch, Inter Milan were held to a 2-2 draw by Roma on September 19. With back-to-back wins now in hand, they carry real momentum into this matchup.
Fiorentina have struggled to find their footing in recent weeks. A 1-3 loss to Como 1907 on October 18 came right after a 1-2 defeat to Genoa on October 10, and before those setbacks they managed just a 1-1 draw with Napoli on September 20. Two straight losses have left them searching for answers. This trip to Milan gives them a chance to stop the slide against a team playing with confidence.

Match Overview

Club America dropped a 1-2 decision to Pachuca on October 26, snapping a two-game winning streak that included a 5-2 rout of Atlas and a wild 5-3 shootout against Leon. Those three results show a team capable of scoring in bunches but also prone to defensive lapses, something that cropped up again in the loss to Pachuca. Wednesday’s match at home gives them a chance to get back on track after consecutive high-scoring affairs. Club America will look to tighten things up defensively while keeping the attack that produced 10 goals in two games intact.
Tijuana head into this one on a stronger run, having beaten Santos Laguna 4-1 on October 26 after draws against Toluca and Puebla. The 2-2 result with Toluca on October 22 and the scoreless draw with Puebla on October 17 point to a team that had been grinding out points before finding their scoring touch against Santos Laguna. That victory snapped a two-game stretch without a win and gives Tijuana some momentum heading into the trip to face Club America. A result on the road would add to a positive turn in form over their last three outings.

Match Overview

Chelsea host Tottenham on Saturday, October 24 in the Premier League. The hosts have won their last two matches, beating Everton 2-0 on October 17 after a 5-1 win over Bournemouth on October 10. Those results came after a 3-0 loss to Brentford on September 18, so Chelsea arrive with their form trending upward. A win here would give them a third straight league victory and some distance from that September setback.
Tottenham also enter on a positive note. They beat Coventry 3-1 on October 19, having drawn 1-1 with Man Utd the week before on October 10. Before that stretch, Tottenham lost 2-3 to Villa on September 19. This trip to Stamford Bridge is a chance for Tottenham to string together consecutive wins for the first time in this recent run.

Match Overview

Bayern Munich host Arsenal on Wednesday, October 21 in the 2026-27 UEFA Champions League. Bayern enter on a high note after thrashing Leipzig 6-1 on October 17, though the two matches before that were less convincing, a 3-3 draw with Viking on October 13 and a 2-2 stalemate against Augsburg on October 10. That mix of a blowout win and two shared results leaves Bayern looking for a more complete performance as they try to build real momentum heading into this meeting with Arsenal.
Arsenal arrive having won each of their last three matches, starting with a 2-1 victory over Leeds on October 10, followed by a 3-0 win against Lille on October 13, and most recently a tighter 1-0 result at Forest on October 18. Three straight wins, even with a narrowing margin in the last one, give Arsenal a solid run of form to carry into Munich. They will see this trip as a chance to confirm their status as one of the competition’s in-form sides against a Bayern team still searching for consistency.

Match Overview

Barcelona host Real Madrid on Sunday, October 25 in LaLiga. The home side dropped their last match 4-2 against Paris SG on October 20, snapping a two-game winning run that included a 5-2 victory over Betis on October 17 and a 4-1 win against Galatasaray on October 13. That loss to PSG means Barcelona arrive off a defeat rather than a win, and they will want to respond in front of their own fans against their biggest rival.
Real Madrid come into this match on a three-game winning streak, having beaten Leipzig 4-1 on October 21, Sevilla 4-1 on October 18 and Roma 4-3 on October 14. Each of those wins came by multiple goals, showing an attack that has found the net consistently over the past two weeks. Real Madrid visit Barcelona with momentum on their side and a chance to extend that run against their fiercest domestic opponent.

Match Overview

Atlas enter this one on a high note after beating Necaxa 2-0 last Friday. That result followed a 1-1 draw with Guadalajara on October 11, and before that they beat Tijuana de Caliente 3-2 back on September 26. Three matches without a loss gives Atlas some momentum heading into a home date against one of the league’s biggest clubs. A strong showing here would add weight to their recent form.
Club America have been scoring freely, putting up five goals in an 5-3 win over Leon on October 18. They were held to a 1-1 draw by Monterrey on October 11, and before that stretch they put four past Necaxa in a 4-2 win on September 28. Goals have come easily for Club America in recent weeks, and they will look to carry that scoring touch into Atlas’s stadium.

Match Overview

Aston Villa enter this one on a three-match winning streak, having beaten Viking 3-1 last Wednesday, Newcastle 1-0 on October 17, and Fenerbahçe 6-0 three days before that. The win over Newcastle showed they can grind out a result against Premier League opposition, while the margin against Fenerbahçe pointed to a team scoring goals freely right now. Villa will want to carry that form into a game of this magnitude at home.
Manchester City arrive having won their last two outings, a 5-1 rout of AEK Athens on October 20 and a 3-2 win over Ipswich three days earlier, sandwiched around a 2-4 loss to Paris SG on October 14. The defeat to Paris SG was their only blemish in these three games, and the response against AEK suggests City moved past it quickly. A win at Villa Park would keep City’s momentum rolling after that setback and reinforce their credentials in the title race.

Match Overview

Arsenal host Everton at the Emirates on Saturday, October 24, in the Premier League. The Gunners enter off a 2-2 draw with Bayern on October 21, a result that snapped a string of clean results after they beat Forest 1-0 on October 18 and Lille 3-0 on October 13. That Champions League draw came against one of Europe’s top sides, so there is no reason for alarm about their domestic form. Arsenal remain in good shape heading into this one and will look to get back to winning ways in front of their own fans.
Everton‘s last three outings have been mixed. Chelsea beat them 0-2 on October 17, and before that they drew 2-2 with Hull on October 11 after a 1-0 win over Ipswich back on September 19. The Toffees have not found consistency across that stretch, picking up one win, one draw and one loss. A result at the Emirates would go a long way toward steadying their season.

Match Overview

Al-Faisaly host Al Nassr on Friday, October 23 in the Saudi Pro League. The hosts enter on the back of a 2-2 draw with Al Shabab last Sunday, a result that followed a 3-2 win over Al Kholood on October 15. Before that stretch, Al-Faisaly lost 1-3 to Al Ittihad back in September, so their recent form has been mixed. A positive result here would give Al-Faisaly a second straight unbeaten outing and some momentum heading into the next round.
Al Nassr arrive in good shape after beating Neom SC 1-0 on October 20, a narrow win that came on the heels of a 3-0 victory over Al Diriyah on October 9. Those two wins have followed a 1-1 draw with Al Khaleej back in September, meaning Al Nassr have won their last two matches after that early stalemate. With back to back clean sheets and three points in the bank, Al Nassr will look to keep that run going on the road against Al-Faisaly.

Match Overview

Liverpool host Villarreal on Tuesday, October 20 in the Champions League. They beat Brentford 2-1 last Saturday, having put six goals past LASK 6-3 in their previous European outing on October 14. Before that run, Liverpool lost 0-3 away to Man City on October 11. With the Brentford win snapping that setback, Liverpool arrive with some momentum and a chance to build on it at home.
Villarreal come into this match off a 0-0 draw with Elche last Saturday, a result that followed a 3-1 win over Napoli on October 13. A 0-1 loss to Real Madrid on October 10 sits in between those two results. Having alternated a loss, a win and a draw across their last three games, Villarreal will be looking for consistency when they travel to Anfield.

]]> https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/goncalo-ramos-defends-playing-alongside-cristiano-ronaldo-as-the-portugal-controversy-continues/ Gonçalo Ramos defends playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo as the Portugal controversy continues Wed, 28 Oct 2026 19:14:29 -0400 Gonçalo Ramos has weighed in on the debate over Cristiano Ronaldo’s place in Portugal’s attack, arguing that the two forwards can share the pitch. The Portugal striker spoke in an interview with Canal 11, at a time when the national team captain is still dealing with the fallout from his walkout earlier this month.

Ronaldo left the national team camp before the Nations League match against Denmark after a dispute with coach Jorge Jesus over his playing time. Later, the Portuguese Football Federation’s Disciplinary Council found him guilty of leaving without authorization and handed him a 30-day suspension and a €255 fine.

Ramos, meanwhile, has been one of the players who stepped up in his absence, scoring the winner over Norway and starring in the 4-2 victory in Denmark. Asked whether it means something special to come on and score with one of the greatest players of all time alongside him, Ramos said the squad respects Ronaldo’s status and insisted that the two can often play together.

“There was a game at the Estádio do Dragão against Slovakia when we played together. We had a great game, and so did the whole team,” the striker said as proof that the combination works.

The AC Milan forward also tried to dispel the idea that one of them has to sit on the bench for the other to play, and said he does not want any teammate taken off to make room for him. “I think that’s what people often fail to understand. They think that, to play Gonçalo, Cris has to come off, and for Cris to play, Gonçalo has to sit on the bench. That isn’t necessarily the case,” he explained.

Ramos steps up in Ronaldo’s absence

Ramos took full advantage of the minutes he received during the UEFA Nations League window, in which Ronaldo was left out of the starting lineup and later left the camp. Against Norway, he scored the decisive goal in the 86th minute to give Portugal a 2-1 comeback win.

Days later, in Copenhagen, he led the attack in a 4-2 victory over Denmark. The AC Milan forward was decisive, scoring Portugal’s second goal and providing an assist to help lead the team to victory.

Ramos’s strong run in the Nations League has strengthened his case to keep a prominent role in Portugal’s attack, but his words suggest he does not see himself as a replacement for Ronaldo.

With the captain serving a suspension and his future still unresolved, the debate over how to fit the veteran and the 25-year-old forward into the same lineup is likely to continue, and in the end it will be Jorge Jesus who decides.

]]> https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/bayern-munich-make-final-decision-on-harry-kanes-future-following-2026-ballon-dor-triumph/ Bayern Munich make final decision on Harry Kane’s future following 2026 Ballon d’Or triumph Wed, 28 Oct 2026 18:04:25 -0400 Harry Kane captured his maiden Ballon d’Or at the 2026 gala as a Bayern Munich player, and the German champions have moved swiftly to resolve their talisman’s long-term future amid persistent transfer speculation.

Fresh off edging out Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappe in the race for world football’s top individual prize, Kane has received total commitment from the Bavarian hierarchy regarding what the future holds for him at the Allianz Arena.

According to Sky Sport Germany insider Florian Plettenberg, Bayern Munich and Kane are currently ironing out the final details of a contract extension through 2029, with both parties determined to finalize and sign the agreement before the end of the calendar year.

Kane’s undeniable impact silences the doubters

In the buildup to Monday’s ceremony at the London Palladium, both Yamal and Mbappe made vocal cases on the pitch during El Clasico, while the English marksman maintained a low profile and let his numbers do the talking.

Kane’s staggering 73-goal haul across club and country built an unassailable foundation for his Ballon d’Or campaign. While Yamal hoisted the 2026 FIFA World Cup with Spain, voters ultimately favored Kane’s ruthless year-round dominance, which also included leading England to a third-place finish on North American soil.

The most persistent rumors surrounding Kane’s future originated in Catalonia. While Raphinha has performed admirably as a makeshift central striker for Barcelona this season, it remains outside the Brazilian’s natural skillset, prompting the Blaugrana to monitor Kane’s situation closely ahead of next summer.

However, Bayern Munich have zero interest in entertaining offers from Barcelona or anywhere else. Ever since Robert Lewandowski’s departure for Spain in 2022, the German giants struggled to find a truly world-class focal point to lead their attack; with Kane now crowned the best player on the planet, the former Tottenham talisman has proved beyond all doubt that he is the definitive heir to that throne.

]]> https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/portugal-congratulates-cristiano-ronaldo-for-winning-the-boat-award-amid-his-national-team-controversy/ Portugal congratulates Cristiano Ronaldo for winning the ‘BOAT’ award amid his national team controversy Wed, 28 Oct 2026 18:02:39 -0400 The Portugal national team has congratulated Cristiano Ronaldo on winning the ‘BOAT’ (Best of All Time) award, a special Ballon d’Or recognition decided by a public vote. The message from the federation came as the 41-year-old forward remains at the center of a controversy with the national team after he walked out of the squad earlier this month.

“From 2008 to eternity. The all-time Ballon d’Or is Portuguese. Congratulations, Captain!” the team wrote on X, tagging the Ballon d’Or and Ronaldo’s account. The award was decided in an online vote on the official Ballon d’Or website, where fans chose the greatest individual season among 10 players who each won the prize at least twice. Ronaldo’s 2008 campaign with Manchester United, which earned him his first Ballon d’Or, finished first, ahead of Lionel Messi’s 2012 season.

The congratulations are notable because of the situation between Ronaldo and Portugal in recent weeks. After being substituted in the opening Nations League match against Wales and remaining an unused substitute in the win over Norway, he left the national team camp before the game against Denmark, following a dispute with coach Jorge Jesus over his playing time.

Ronaldo later explained in a long statement that he felt the coach had broken his word, apologized to his teammates and the Portuguese public, and said he would accept any punishment.

A fine and a 30-day ban for Cristiano Ronaldo

After several days without a response on a possible punishment, a decision finally arrived on Oct. 19, when the Portuguese Football Federation’s Disciplinary Council found him guilty of leaving the camp without authorization. He was handed a 30-day suspension from the national team, covering official and friendly matches, along with a fine of €255.

According to reports, the ban could rule him out of Portugal’s final Nations League group games against Denmark and Wales on Nov. 14 and Nov. 17, unless the time already served is taken into account.

Ronaldo has insisted that he does not plan to retire from the national team and said he will be available after serving his suspension. Jesus, for his part, has said the door remains open and that “Cris is the one who’s going to decide”. The federation’s message of “Captain” suggests it still treats him as its leader, even as his future with the team remains unresolved.

]]> https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/thierry-henry-responds-to-backlash-over-his-question-to-lamine-yamal-at-the-ballon-dor-im-a-big-fan/ Thierry Henry responds to backlash over his question to Lamine Yamal at the Ballon d’Or: ‘I’m a big fan’ Wed, 28 Oct 2026 17:06:56 -0400 Thierry Henry has come out to explain a question he asked Lamine Yamal during the 2026 Ballon d’Or ceremony, after a wave of criticism on social media. The former France international, who co-hosted the gala, said he never meant to disrespect the Barcelona winger and insisted he is “a big fan” of the 19-year-old.

The controversy began when Yamal collected the Kopa Trophy, awarded to the best young player in the world, for a record third consecutive year. After the teenager gave a short speech and said he wished the award had gone to his teammate Pau Cubarsi, Henry stepped in with a remark of his own. “That’s your third one. But is it the one you really wanted tonight?” he asked. The theater in London erupted in laughter, Yamal smiled awkwardly and replied that he wanted “all of them”.

Footage of the exchange quickly went viral, and many users read it as a dig at Yamal, who had been open about his hopes of winning the Ballon d’Or. Henry responded with a video on Instagram. “I want to clarify some stuff as some people got really excited for actually nothing,” he said.

“First and foremost with Lamine Yamal, I wasn’t checking his ego at all. I just thought that as the third time he had won that trophy, I was just asking him if it was the one he truly wanted, and I brought out a laugh out of people,” the former forward continued.

Henry, who described the moment as a joke, acknowledged that some did not like it, but asked critics to drop the narrative. “We all knew what he wanted. Unfortunately, he didn’t get it. I’m a big fan of Lamine Yamal. That you don’t like the joke, I can understand that, but please, don’t do that. He’s actually one of those players I will pay to watch. I love him”.

As the Riyadh side looks to extend its winning run and maintain pressure on league leader Al-Hilal, the latest team news could give head coach Ange Postecoglou valuable options at both ends of the pitch.

Al-Nassr enter the Round 12 fixture in strong form after winning four consecutive matches across all competitions, including a 3-1 victory over Al-Faisaly in their most recent outing. Abdullah Al-Hamdan opened the scoring before Ronaldo added the second, and Angelo Gabriel restored the two-goal cushion after Theo Bongonda had pulled one back.

The result continued an encouraging spell for Al-Nassr, which has collected 25 points from its opening 10 league matches and sits second in the standings, two points behind Al-Hilal. The club has also won three consecutive league matches and will be confident of extending that run against an opponent struggling for consistency.

Al-Kholood, managed by Des Buckingham, faces a difficult challenge after losing four consecutive league games and conceding 13 goals across those defeats. The club has scored only twice during that run and has yet to win away from home in the league this season, increasing the pressure ahead of its trip to Riyadh.

Simakan and Ghareeb deliver timely boost

The biggest positive for Ronaldo and his teammates is the expected return of Mohamed Simakan and Abdulrahman Ghareeb, who have recovered from their respective injuries and are available for selection against Al-Kholood. The update was reported by Saudi media outlet Arriyadiyah.

Simakan’s return strengthens the defensive options available to Postecoglou, who has had to manage his back line amid recent fitness concerns. The French centre-back can provide another option alongside Inigo Martínez and Abdulelah Al-Amri, giving the coach greater flexibility when selecting his defence.

Ghareeb’s availability also provides a welcome boost on the wing, where his attacking qualities can add depth and creativity. His return gives the club another option in the final third alongside Ronaldo, Sadio Mane and Joao Felix as the club looks to break down an opponent that has struggled defensively.

Why Kingsley Coman will miss the match

Despite the positive news surrounding Simakan and Ghareeb, Kingsley Coman remains unavailable for the Al-Kholood clash because he has not regained sufficient match fitness, as per Ali Al-Enezi. The French winger recently returned to group training after a hamstring injury but has not yet been cleared to feature.

Coman missed Al-Nassr’s league matches against NEOM and Al-Faisaly while recovering, and his absence removes another attacking option from Postecoglou’s plans. His return to training is encouraging, but the coaching staff appears unwilling to rush him back before he is ready to compete.

The winger’s availability could prove important later in the campaign, particularly given his previous connection with Ronaldo on the pitch. During the previous Saudi Pro League title-winning season, five of Coman’s 12 league assists were for Ronaldo, highlighting the creative partnership Al-Nassr could benefit from once the Frenchman is fully fit.

]]> https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/cristiano-ronaldos-1000-goal-chase-takes-major-twist-as-saudi-pro-league-officials-rule-on-al-faisaly-strike/ Cristiano Ronaldo’s 1,000-goal chase takes major twist as Saudi Pro League officials rule on Al-Faisaly strike Wed, 28 Oct 2026 16:06:36 -0400 Cristiano Ronaldo’s pursuit of 1,000 career goals has taken another significant turn following Al-Nassr’s 3-1 victory over Al-Faisaly last Friday in the Saudi Pro League. A disputed moment from the match sparked debate among fans and major statistics providers, putting the spotlight on how soccer’s official records are maintained as the Portuguese superstar approaches the historic milestone.

The incident occurred in the 49th minute of Al-Nassr’s victory on October 23, 2026, when Joao Felix delivered a free-kick into the penalty area. Ronaldo rose to meet the cross, and the ball entered the net, prompting his trademark “Siu” celebration as his teammates joined him.

However, replays raised questions about whether Ronaldo made the decisive contact or whether Al-Faisaly defender Andrei Girotto supplied the final touch. Opta and several other major statistical platforms classified the strike as an own goal, leaving Ronaldo on 981 career goals according to their records, while the Saudi Pro League initially credited the Portuguese forward.

The disagreement became particularly significant because the 41-year-old veteran is chasing the 1,000-goal milestone, with every strike bringing him closer to one of soccer’s most remarkable achievements. The difference between the competing records meant he was either 18 or 19 goals away, depending on which tally was followed.

Saudi authorities make their decision

The situation took a decisive turn after Saudi soccer authorities reviewed the incident. According to reports shared by Saudi journalist Abdulaziz Al-Muraisel, the Saudi Arabian Football Federation’s Referees Committee issued a decision, followed by a ruling from the league’s Compliance Committee, confirming that the goal belonged to Ronaldo.

The Saudi Pro League therefore officially recognizes Ronaldo as the scorer, taking his career tally to 982 goals and leaving him 18 short of 1,000. The decision follows the match referee’s report, which originally recorded the goal in the forward’s name.

Saudi commentator Khaled Al Shenaif also addressed the controversy, explaining that the authorities had settled the matter through the relevant committees. “The matter has been officially settled. The goal has been credited to Ronaldo. His tally stands at 982 goals,” Al Shenaif said.

Reports indicated that the league had contacted international data providers, including Opta, to communicate the decision and seek consistency across statistical platforms. However, whether every provider will amend its records remains a separate matter, as independent companies can apply their own criteria when classifying goals.

Why the ruling matters for Ronaldo’s 1,000-goal chase

The decision gives Ronaldo a boost in the official Saudi record books as he continues to score for Al-Nassr at 41. His career total, according to the Saudi authorities, now stands at 982 goals, including 836 at club level and 146 for Portugal, putting the four-figure milestone firmly in sight.

Al-Nassr’s victory also underlined the importance of Joao Felix’s contribution, with the Portuguese playmaker supplying the free-kick that led to the disputed strike. Al-Faisaly subsequently pulled a goal back, but Al-Nassr secured a 3-1 win to strengthen its position in the Saudi Pro League campaign.

The controversy also highlights a wider issue in modern soccer: the difference between official competition records and statistics maintained by independent data companies. A referee’s report and subsequent ruling by the relevant authorities can determine the official scorer in a league, while platforms such as Opta, SofaScore and FotMob may retain a different classification based on their own assessment.

For now, Saudi soccer authorities have settled the question in Ronaldo’s favor, meaning his official tally stands at 982. Whether international statistics providers eventually follow suit remains to be seen, but the ruling has given the forward another step toward his ambitious 1,000-goal target.

Wed, 28 Oct 2026 15:12:54 -0400 Gianluigi Donnarumma is not in goal for Manchester City against Brighton in the Carabao Cup fourth round and the Italian goalkeeper has been replaced by Gerónimo Rulli, in a change that comes after a rough few weeks for City’s first-choice keeper.

Donnarumma has been under scrutiny since City’s 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa, when Nicolas Jackson’s second goal went underneath him. That mistake came after a difficult Champions League night against his former club PSG earlier this month, a 4-2 defeat, and his footwork had already been highlighted as a concern this season.

Maresca insists the absence has nothing to do with his form. Donnarumma is one of five players who were given three days off after the Villa game, alongside Erling Haaland, Elliot Anderson, Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias.

The Italian coach also defended his goalkeeper in public during the press conference: “Gigio, since we started, is doing well. Like any player or any manager at some point, he is making some mistakes, but it’s part of the season. They are playing so many games and minutes that sometimes it’s impossible not to make some mistakes”.

Rulli gets a big opportunity

The 34-year-old Argentine returned to City for a second spell in the summer after the departure of James Trafford, and he has settled into his role as Donnarumma’s understudy. He started the previous round against Norwich, keeping a clean sheet in a 5-0 win, and he is now confirmed in the lineup again against Brighton.

Maresca has praised the veteran’s attitude. “He is good. Before I arrived here, I had a conversation with him and he knows exactly his role, it is important,” the manager said, adding: “When he played some minutes he was good and tomorrow he is going to play again”. It is expected that Donnarumma will return for the Premier League rematch with Brighton at the Etihad on Oct. 31.

]]> https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/why-is-erling-haaland-not-playing-for-manchester-city-vs-brighton-in-the-carabao-cup/ Why is Erling Haaland not playing for Manchester City vs Brighton in the Carabao Cup? Wed, 28 Oct 2026 14:45:57 -0400 Erling Haaland is not playing for Manchester City against Brighton in the Carabao Cup fourth round. Manager Enzo Maresca has left the Norwegian striker out of the squad as part of a rest plan, and the club’s confirmed lineup shows no sign of him.

Haaland is one of five regulars who were handed three days off after City’s 2-1 Premier League defeat at Aston Villa. Maresca named the group himself: “After Villa, we gave five players three days off. Erling, Elliot, Gigio, Ruben and Josko. They are all on holiday. Three days off, energy, go, come back full of energy and then go again”.

The decision is also tied to the calendar. City face Brighton twice in four days, with the Premier League rematch at the Etihad on Oct. 31, and Maresca admitted that the short turnaround forced him to make changes.

The club is not worried about the availability of the five players for that league game. Haaland did not pick up an injury at Villa, but both he and Maresca have spoken about the need to manage his workload after a long season for club and country.

It is not the first time the striker has been protected in this competition. Haaland also sat out the 5-0 win over Norwich in the previous round and was an unused substitute in the Champions League win over AEK Athens last week after picking up a knock against Ipswich.

Man City’s confirmed lineup

Maresca has confirmed a heavily rotated lineup, with Marc Guehi wearing the captain’s armband. Geronimo Rulli starts in goal, protected by Rico Lewis, Vitor Reis, Guehi and Nico O’Reilly.

Ayyoub Bouaddi and Mateo Kovacic anchor the midfield, with Phil Foden, Rayan Cherki, Allan and 17-year-old Floyd Samba, who scored twice against Norwich in the last round, completing the XI.

City’s starting XI: Rulli, Lewis, Reis, Guéhi (C), O’Reilly, Bouaddi, Kovačić, Foden, Cherki, Allan, Samba.

The bench is full of quality. Enzo Fernandez is among the substitutes, along with Iliman Ndiaye and Jeremy Doku, who give Maresca attacking options if the game needs a spark. Rayan Ait-Nouri and Abdukodir Khusanov are also available in defense, while youngsters Reigan McAidoo, Braithwaite and Oliver complete the list.

Wed, 28 Oct 2026 14:45:12 -0400 Cristiano Ronaldo has moved ahead of Lionel Messi in another debate over soccer’s greatest individual achievements, with one of his most memorable seasons receiving a major vote of confidence from supporters. The result brings renewed attention to Ronaldo’s outstanding 2007-08 campaign at Manchester United and raises questions about how supporters compare the careers of two of the sport’s biggest icons.

Ronaldo finished first in the B.O.A.T. poll for his 2008 Ballon d’Or-winning season, while Messi’s remarkable 2012 campaign took second place. Ronaldo also secured third with his 2017 season, giving him two of the top three positions in the final ranking. The top 10 featured five seasons belonging to Ronaldo and four associated with Messi, alongside the Argentine’s 2015 and 2023 triumphs.

The final standings placed Ronaldo’s 2016 season fifth, his 2014 campaign sixth and his 2013 success eighth, while Messi’s 2023, 2015, 2011 and 2009 seasons occupied fourth, seventh, ninth and 10th respectively. Ronaldo’s first Ballon d’Or victory followed a spectacular season with Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson.

He scored 42 goals in all competitions during the 2007-08 campaign, including 31 in the Premier League, helping the club win both the English league title and the UEFA Champions League. His contributions included goals against Arsenal and Liverpool, as well as a hat-trick in United’s 6-0 victory over Newcastle United. Ronaldo also won the Premier League Golden Boot by a seven-goal margin over Fernando Torres and scored in the Champions League final against Chelsea, which United won on penalties after a 1-1 draw.

The award marked the beginning of Ronaldo’s run of five Ballon d’Or victories, with further wins arriving in 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017, largely during his time at Real Madrid. Messi, meanwhile, recorded 91 goals across club and international soccer in the 2012 calendar year, an extraordinary scoring record that helped his season finish second in the poll.

What is the B.O.A.T. award, and is it official?

The B.O.A.T. stands for Ballon d’Or Of All Time and was introduced by the Ballon d’Or organizers, in collaboration with UEFA, to mark the prize’s 70th anniversary. The initiative invited supporters to select the greatest Ballon d’Or-winning season, with eligibility restricted to players who had won the award at least twice.

Despite the prestige surrounding the announcement, the B.O.A.T. is not an official Ballon d’Or trophy. It is a fan-voting initiative that allows supporters to weigh in on an ongoing debate about soccer’s greatest individual performances, rather than a new competitive honor awarded through the traditional Ballon d’Or process.

The voting also came with a financial condition: supporters had to pay €1 (approximately $1.10) per vote. UEFA additionally offered voters the opportunity to enter a draw for two tickets to the 2027 Ballon d’Or gala.

The shortlist included 10 multiple-time winners: Ronaldo, Messi, Johan Cruyff, Michel Platini, Marco van Basten, Ronaldo Nazario, Franz Beckenbauer, Kevin Keegan, Alfredo Di Stéfano and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.

How is the B.O.A.T. different from the Super Ballon d’Or?

The B.O.A.T. and the Super Ballon d’Or are two separate initiatives, despite their similar names and their connection to debates about soccer’s greatest players. The B.O.A.T. campaign asks fans to choose the best season among previous Ballon d’Or-winning campaigns, with the results determined by public voting.

The Super Ballon d’Or, by contrast, is a distinct historical honor. France Football awarded it only once, in 1989, to Alfredo Di Stefano, recognizing his exceptional legacy and standing among the game’s greatest players.

Ronaldo’s victory therefore adds another talking point to his long-running rivalry with Messi, but the result should be understood in context. It establishes Ronaldo’s 2008 campaign as the favorite in this particular fan poll, rather than delivering a definitive verdict on which player or season ranks highest in soccer history.

AC Milan come into this one on a three-game unbeaten run. They beat Udinese 2-0 on October 25 and edged a 3-2 shootout against Atalanta on October 18, before that they drew 1-1 with Sassuolo on October 11. A win here would keep Milan firmly in the hunt at the top of the table.
Bologna arrive having split their last three results. They bounced back from a 1-3 loss to Inter on October 17 with a 2-0 win over Cagliari on October 24, and before the Inter defeat they had beaten Lecce 2-1 on October 11. Three points at San Siro would be a statement result for their European ambitions.

AC Milan confirmed lineup

Ruben Amorim sends out Milan in a 4-4-1-1 with Mike Maignan behind a back four of Fikayo Tomori, Koni De Winter, Strahinja Pavlovic and Davide Bartesaghi. Ardon Jashari and Yunus Musah flank the midfield with Omari Hutchinson pushed into a deeper creative role just behind Goncalo Ramos, who leads the line alone.

Up front, Federico Bernardeschi, Jens Odgaard and Nicolo Cambiaghi form a fluid front three designed to stretch Milan’s back line. Bologna have no listed absences, meaning Palladino can select from a full squad for this trip to Milan.

]]> https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/christian-pulisics-new-milan-contract-to-save-club-3-9-million-per-season-despite-salary-increase-thanks-to-one-hidden-benefit/ Christian Pulisic’s new Milan contract to save club $3.9 million per season despite salary increase, thanks to one hidden benefit Wed, 28 Oct 2026 13:06:16 -0400 Christian Pulisic is close to securing his long-term future at Milan, with a reported contract extension set to reward the American forward for his importance to the team. However, the new agreement could also deliver a significant financial advantage for the Italian club, creating an unexpected outcome despite the expected increase in Pulisic’s salary.

The proposed deal would keep Pulisic at San Siro until June 2031, extending his current agreement beyond its scheduled expiry in 2027. According to ESPN and Italian media reports, negotiations have progressed after months of discussions, with the renewal expected to provide stability for both the player and the club.

Since joining Milan from Chelsea in 2023 for approximately €22 million ($25.3 million), Pulisic has established himself as one of the club’s most important attacking players. He has recorded 44 goals and 28 assists in 141 appearances across all competitions, making a substantial contribution to Milan’s attacking output.

Reports indicate that Pulisic’s net annual salary will increase from €4 million ($4.6 million) to €5 million ($5.8 million), excluding performance-related bonuses. His existing contract runs until June 2027, meaning the proposed extension would keep him at the club through June 2031.

The renewal also reflects Milan’s determination to retain its key performers as the club plans for the coming seasons. Owner Gerry Cardinale and head coach Ruben Amorim have reportedly been keen to secure Pulisic’s future, particularly after the American regained his form following injury problems.

The hidden financial benefit behind the renewal

Despite the salary increase, Milan is expected to reduce Pulisic’s annual accounting cost from approximately €10.5 million ($12.1 million) to €7.1 million ($8.2 million) from the 2027-28 season. According to Calcio e Finanza, that represents a saving of around €3.4 million ($3.9 million) per season.

The key lies in transfer-fee amortization, an accounting process that spreads a player’s transfer cost across the length of his contract. Milan paid approximately €22 million ($25.3 million) to sign Pulisic from Chelsea, and the remaining accounting value of that transfer fee is currently contributing around €5.2 million ($6 million) to his annual cost.

By extending the contract until 2031, the Italian outfit can spread the remaining transfer value across a longer period. The annual amortization charge is projected to fall to approximately €600,000 ($690,000) from 2027-28, substantially offsetting the higher salary.

How Milan’s annual costs will change

Under the reported new terms, Pulisic’s net salary of €5 million ($5.8 million) would translate to a gross annual wage cost of approximately €6.5 million ($7.5 million), assuming the reported Italian tax benefits remain applicable. Adding the projected €600,000 ($690,000) amortization charge brings his total annual accounting cost to approximately €7.1 million ($8.2 million).

Compared with the previous estimate of €10.5 million ($12.1 million), Milan would save €3.4 million ($3.9 million) annually despite paying Pulisic more in wages. The financial impact could begin even earlier. Calcio e Finanza estimates that, assuming the new agreement takes effect midway through the 2026-27 campaign, Pulisic’s accounting cost for that season could fall to around €9.1 million ($10.5 million), a reduction of approximately €1.4 million ($1.6 million) compared with the previous annual figure.

The financial advantages accompany the 28-year-old’s continued importance on the pitch. The American has operated both on the wing and in a central attacking role under Amorim, offering the Rossoneri flexibility and a consistent source of goals and assists.

After injury problems disrupted his preparations, Pulisic has returned to the lineup and delivered important contributions in Serie A. His recent performances have strengthened the case for keeping him at San Siro for the long term.

]]> https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/why-is-christian-pulisic-not-starting-for-milan-vs-bologna-in-2026-27-serie-a-game/ Why is Christian Pulisic not starting for Milan vs Bologna in 2026-27 Serie A game? Wed, 28 Oct 2026 12:39:34 -0400 Christian Pulisic is set to begin Milan’s Serie A clash against Bologna on the bench on Wednesday, despite his impressive recent performances under Ruben Amorim. The decision comes at a crucial stage of the campaign, with Milan looking to maintain its unbeaten league record while preparing for a highly anticipated derby against Inter this weekend.

The American winger has been an important contributor to Milan’s attack, but Amorim must carefully manage his squad amid a demanding schedule and a growing injury crisis. With several regular starters unavailable, the Portuguese coach faces difficult decisions as he attempts to secure another three points at San Siro.

The Rossoneri enter the Bologna fixture after recording a 2-0 away victory against Udinese on Sunday, with Pulisic opening the scoring before Omari Hutchinson added a second goal. That result provided a welcome response to the Rossoneri’s disappointing 3-0 Europa League defeat against Bournemouth.

Amorim’s team remain unbeaten in their first eight Serie A matches, recording five wins and three draws. Milan has also won all three of its league matches at San Siro this season, giving them it a strong foundation ahead of another demanding test.

Bologna, meanwhile, arrives with renewed confidence after defeating Cagliari 2-0. Raffaele Palladino’s side have improved since his appointment, although the Red and Blacks’ strong home record makes the visitors’ task particularly challenging.

Why is Pulisic starting on the bench against Bologna?

The main reason behind Pulisic’s expected absence from the starting lineup is workload management ahead of Saturday’s Derby della Madonnina against Inter. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Amorim’s idea is to rest both Pulisic and veteran midfielder Luka Modric, preserving their energy for the high-profile encounter.

Pulisic has also been managed carefully since returning from an injury sustained while representing the United States at the World Cup. La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that the American has not started consecutive matches with European fixtures in between this season, reflecting the club’s cautious approach to his fitness.

The decision is therefore understood to be precautionary rather than a reflection of his performances. The 28-year-old forward started against Udinese and scored, registering four goal involvements across his last seven Serie A appearances, matching his contribution from the previous 20 league matches.

Pulisic to return for Derby della Madonnina

With Pulisic rested, young attacking midfielder Alphadjo Cisse will start. The Italian prospect will play behind striker Goncalo Ramos, linking Milan’s midfield to the forward line while adding creativity in the final third.

The USMNT star’s absence from the starting XI is part of a broader effort to manage a squad stretched by injuries. Samuel Chukwueze, Mattia Gabbia, Alexis Saelemaekers and Filippo Terracciano are among the players missing the match, while Adrien Rabiot, Diego Moreira and Mario Gila have also been reported as unavailable or unable to return in time.

Resting Pulisic against the Rossoblu could prove valuable if it allows the American to approach the derby in better physical condition. Milan remains within reach of Serie A leaders Inter, and Saturday’s meeting offers Amorim’s side an opportunity to reduce the gap.

For now, Milan must find a way to maintain its domestic momentum without one of its most influential attackers in the starting lineup. Pulisic is available from the bench against Bologna, with his rest intended to help prepare him for the showdown with Inter.

Although the possibility of strengthening the squad remains open, two major obstacles could determine whether Al-Nassr can turn its transfer plans into reality.

Recent reports have raised questions about the club’s ability to bring in reinforcements during the winter window. However, the latest information suggests that the situation is more complicated than a straightforward restriction on new signings, leaving Ronaldo and his teammates waiting to see what support the club can secure.

According to Saudi outlet Midan Al Yaum, sources have clarified that no new official decision or letter has been issued to prevent Al-Nassr from registering players during the January transfer window. The club can continue negotiating with players and other teams, although completing deals will depend on its ability to meet the associated financial obligations.

The clarification challenges speculation that Al-Nassr has been formally prohibited from strengthening its squad. Instead, the immediate concern centers on whether the club has sufficient resources to complete potential transfers.

A recent loan move involving young goalkeeper Abdulhadi Al-Alwan from Al-Fateh has also been cited as evidence that player acquisitions remain possible. The move demonstrates that the Knights of Najd can still bring in players when the relevant conditions are met, although it does not guarantee that the club can afford more expensive first-team additions.

Two major obstacles threaten January plans

Midan Al Yaum reveals that the first major obstacle is Al-Nassr’s ongoing financial difficulties, which have reportedly limited its ability to commit to further spending. Even if the club identifies suitable targets and reaches agreements, it must have enough available cash to complete those transactions.

The second issue is a lack of liquidity, meaning the club may struggle to access the funds required to meet immediate payments. These problems are particularly significant ahead of January, when an outstanding instalment for Portuguese midfielder Samu Costa is reportedly due, adding to Al-Nassr’s existing financial commitments.

The club also has a substantial wage bill, with reports indicating that eight players are on high-value contracts. Those commitments could make it more difficult to allocate additional money to new arrivals without fresh funding or changes to its existing financial arrangements.

Several outlets have previously reported on concerns surrounding Al-Nassr’s finances and its ability to make further signings. However, the precise scale of the club’s current financial position and the extent of any restrictions should be distinguished from claims of a formal registration ban.

Potential financial support could change the situation

Al-Nassr may still find ways to ease the pressure before the winter window closes. The report adds that possible solutions include assistance from honorary members and Gold Members, alongside outstanding payments owed to the club by the relevant fund.

Securing additional funds would give the reigning Saudi Pro League champion greater flexibility to pursue its targets and address areas that require improvement. Without that support, however, the club could be forced to prioritize its existing obligations over ambitious recruitment plans.

For Ronaldo, the uncertainty could have implications for Al-Nassr’s ability to maintain its competitiveness throughout the second half of the season. The Portuguese forward remains one of the club’s central figures, and the availability of reinforcements could influence its prospects in domestic and continental competitions.

The Premier League champions were knocked out in the fourth round by League Two side Fleetwood Town, who won 5-3 on penalties at Highbury Stadium after a 1-1 draw.

It is the kind of result that goes straight into the competition’s list of great upsets. Fleetwood sit 18th in the fourth tier, just above the relegation zone, and arrived on the back of two defeats in their last three games. The Gunners, meanwhile, share the lead in the Premier League and had drawn 2-2 away at Bayern Munich in the Champions League only days earlier.

The hosts struck first in the 21st minute, when Aaron Loupalo-Bi outmuscled teenage defender Marli Salmon and poked the ball through Illan Meslier’s legs. Viktor Gyokeres leveled five minutes into the second half, scoring his first goal of the season, but the visitors could not find a winner despite outshooting their opponents 26-3.

The tie turned ugly in the closing minutes. Teenager Max Dowman was sent off with five minutes remaining for kicking out at a Fleetwood defender. In the shootout, Bruno Guimaraes saw his spot-kick saved, and Conor Haughey converted the decisive penalty to send the League Two side through.

Arteta had rotated heavily, handing starts to several academy graduates, before bringing on Martin Odegaard, Ben White, Bruno Guimaraes and Eberechi Eze after the break. The arrival of the regulars, however, did not help the Spaniard, as they failed to save the team from a disappointing exit.

]]> https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/cristian-romero-picks-lionel-messis-no-10-heir-for-argentina-after-the-captains-retirement/ Cristian Romero picks Lionel Messi’s No. 10 heir for Argentina after the captain’s retirement Tue, 27 Oct 2026 18:27:23 -0400 Argentina are still searching for the player who will inherit one of the most iconic shirts in world football. Since Lionel Messi retired from international soccer, the question of who will wear the No. 10 has remained open, and new captain Cristian Romero has now weighed in with an answer of his own.

Speaking in an interview with the YouTube channel Los Edul, the defender named Atletico Madrid teammate Julian Alvarez as his choice to take over the shirt. Romero explained that his pick goes beyond football ability. “I see him with that profile of humility, family man, good kid. He has the qualities, I think it’s him,” he said, adding: “We have many very important players in the national team. I say Julian because I see all those things that are important to wear the 10“.

Romero did admit that his first idea would be different. “I would put it aside, put a mural up at AFA and that’s it, so that nobody has that responsibility,” he said, before accepting that it is not an option and saying he would give it to Alvarez.

The captain also revealed that he has already brought it up with the forward more than once, but that the player does not seem convinced. “I think he would like to wear it. I’ve told him many times, but he wants to keep his own,” Romero said.

Nico Paz is the other name emerging as a frontrunner for the No. 10. Local reports have pointed to the Como midfielder as the favorite to receive the shirt. However, no official decision has been announced, and Romero’s words show that the choice remains open.

Argentina cannot retire the No. 10 jersey

Romero’s idea of putting the shirt aside runs into a hard regulatory wall. FIFA rules require official squad lists for tournaments such as the World Cup and Copa America to use consecutive numbering from 1 to 26, with a number assigned to every player named to the roster.

That means the No. 10 cannot simply be left unused in official competition, no matter how symbolic the gesture would be. The number could theoretically go unused in a friendly, but in any official tournament, someone on the 26-man list would have to wear it.

It would not be the first time Argentina run into this obstacle. Ahead of the 2002 World Cup, the country tried to retire the No. 10 as a tribute to Diego Maradona, whose career had already cemented the number’s legendary status.

FIFA rejected the request outright, citing the same consecutive-numbering rule that stands in the way today. As a result, the shirt continued to be worn by later generations of Argentine players, eventually passing to Messi himself.

Despite boasting an expensive squad and major ambitions in Saudi Arabia, Ange Postecoglou’s side is reportedly confronting financial difficulties that could reshape the club’s approach to the January window.

The situation comes at a delicate time for Postecoglou, who took charge in 2026 expecting to build a competitive team around established stars and emerging talent. With questions also surrounding Felix’s long-term future, the coming months could prove decisive for the manager and the club’s ambitions.

Ronaldo remains central to Al-Nassr’s sporting ambitions and global profile, but the club must now balance its immediate pursuit of success with the need to manage its finances responsibly. The Portuguese superstar’s presence has helped attract worldwide attention, although maintaining a competitive squad requires careful planning beyond individual star power.

According to 365Scores Arabic, Al-Nassr’s management is preparing to inform Postecoglou that significant reinforcements during the January transfer window will be extremely difficult to secure. The club remains under financial restrictions that limit its ability to register new players, forcing its leadership to reconsider how it strengthens the squad. The reported restrictions stem from a broader financial crisis, with the team’s accumulated debts, exceeding more than $213 million.

The scale of the liabilities has prompted intervention from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), which holds a majority stake in the club. The recovery measures reportedly include tighter controls over executive spending, independent financial and legal advisers, and efforts to increase commercial revenue. New player registrations are also subject to stricter funding requirements, meaning the club may need to generate additional income before pursuing further transfers.

Could Postecoglou be forced to work with existing squad?

The financial situation presents a significant challenge for Postecoglou, whose teams have traditionally relied on clear tactical identities and carefully selected recruitment to improve performances. Without substantial spending power, the Australian manager may have to focus on maximizing the players already available to him.

365Scores Arabic adds that the Saudi champion intends to retain its current squad during the January window, with management reluctant to sanction departures when finding suitable replacements could prove difficult. That approach would protect the team’s depth but leave Postecoglou with limited opportunities to address weaknesses through the transfer market.

The manager has inherited a squad featuring Ronaldo, Felix and other established attacking players, giving him considerable talent to work with. However, injuries, fixture congestion and the need for tactical adjustments could make the lack of reinforcements particularly challenging as the season progresses.

Al-Nassr has also been exploring ways to strengthen its commercial position through sponsorships and other partnerships. Those efforts reflect a broader shift in Saudi soccer towards greater financial sustainability, with clubs increasingly expected to generate revenue rather than depend entirely on external funding.

Joao Felix’s contract situation raises further concerns

The financial restrictions could also affect Felix’s future, with negotiations over a contract extension reportedly stalling. The report also suggests that the situation has raised concerns within the club that the Portuguese forward could leave in the near future.

The Portuguese winger joined Al-Nassr from Chelsea in 2025 and quickly became an important part of the team’s attacking setup. His technical ability and creativity have complemented Ronaldo’s goal-scoring presence, making him a valuable member of the squad. There have been conflicting reports about his contractual future, however.

Other reports have suggested that Al-Nassr holds an option to extend his agreement by two seasons, potentially keeping him at the club until 2029 with improved financial terms. If that option remains available, it could provide Al-Nassr with greater control over the situation. Nevertheless, stalled negotiations and the club’s financial difficulties could complicate efforts to secure a longer-term commitment.

While the Barcelona phenom was unable to capture the golden trophy in a year when many considered him the leading contender, he walked away from the gala with a resolute vow regarding his future.

Yamal finished third in the 2026 Ballon d’Or voting, landing just behind Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe and Bayern Munich’s veteran marksman Kane. Rather than letting the outcome shake his confidence, the 19-year-old Spanish prodigy maintained that his career is only in its opening chapter, making a public pledge to return to the podium and compete for the sport’s highest individual honor year in and year out.

“It’ll come. Good things take time, and I trust the path I’m building. There’s no rush. I’m full of hope and confidence that one day my moment will come,” Yamal said. “Congratulations to the winners. My focus now returns to what really matters: helping Barcelona win again.”

Lamine Yamal had a stellar year, but it was not enough

Yamal’s near-miss serves as a reminder that winning the FIFA World Cup does not guarantee an immediate Ballon d’Or. While Yamal guided Spain to international glory on North American soil this past summer, voters determined that Kane’s campaign was more well-rounded over the full calendar cycle, powered by a bronze-medal finish with England and an astonishing 73-goal haul across club and country.

History offered an eerie precedent for Yamal’s podium finish. In 2018, a 19-year-old Kylian Mbappe hoisted the World Cup in Russia and collected the inaugural Kopa Trophy, yet only managed a fourth-place finish in the senior Ballon d’Or voting as Luka Modric walked away with the prize. Eight years later, Yamal mirrored Mbappe’s path—capturing his third straight Kopa Trophy and a World Cup winner’s medal, only to see the senior crown elude him.

A continental club title might have provided the decisive edge Yamal needed. Barcelona’s semifinal exit in the 2025–26 UEFA Champions League left him without club soccer’s grandest piece of silverware. Yamal is well aware that the Champions League remains the premier trophy missing from his personal cabinet, and lifting it with Barça will likely be the definitive benchmark required to seal a future Ballon d’Or.

A looming era of Mbappe vs. Yamal

Both Yamal and Mbappe attempted to make their final statements just 24 hours prior to the gala during Sunday’s dramatic El Clasico at Spotify Camp Nou. However, neither performance could sway the final ballot ahead of the deadline, as voters rallied behind Kane’s sustained record-breaking consistency over the entire 12-month window.

With Kane taking home his maiden award at 33, Yamal and Mbappe have cemented their standing as the immediate frontrunners for the 2027 edition. In an upcoming calendar year without a men’s World Cup to skew international narratives, the UEFA Champions League is poised to serve as the ultimate proving ground and carry the heaviest weight when the voting ballots reopen next autumn.

]]> https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/christian-pulisic-helps-ruben-amorim-match-71-year-old-milan-record-as-one-legendary-milestone-remains/ Christian Pulisic helps Ruben Amorim match 71-year-old Milan record as one legendary milestone remains Tue, 27 Oct 2026 17:15:08 -0400 Christian Pulisic and Ruben Amorim have given Milan another reason for optimism after a crucial victory over Udinese strengthened the club’s position in Serie A. The American forward delivered another influential performance, while his manager reached a historic milestone that places him alongside two notable figures from Milan’s past.

The result also provided a timely response to Milan’s disappointing midweek defeat to Bournemouth, demonstrating the squad’s ability to recover despite several injury absences. With a demanding schedule approaching, Amorim now has an opportunity to take his early success a step further and pursue an even more remarkable achievement.

The Rossoneri secured a 2-0 win over Udinese last Sunday, with Pulisic opening the scoring before Omari Hutchinson sealed the result in the second half. The victory moved the club back into the Serie A top four and restored momentum ahead of a busy week that includes Bologna and the Milan derby.

Pulisic struck after just six minutes, timing his run perfectly to meet Luka Modric’s clever lofted free-kick. The American controlled the ball superbly before finishing past goalkeeper Maduka Okoye, producing a goal that highlighted his movement and technical quality.

Hutchinson then scored his first goal for Milan after Ardon Jashari’s low effort was parried into his path. The winger reacted quickly to convert the rebound, rewarding Amorim’s decision to give him a starting opportunity. However, Pulisic was particularly influential, earning player-of-the-match recognition and continuing his recent return to form.

Amorim equals Milan record not seen for seven decades

The victory carried historical significance for Amorim, who extended his unbeaten start in Serie A to eight matches, joining an exclusive group of Milan managers. The Portuguese coach has recorded five wins and three draws during that run, establishing an encouraging foundation early in his tenure.

According to Opta, “Ruben Amorim is the third coach to remain unbeaten in each of his first eight matches in charge of Milan in Serie A, after Hector Puricelli in 1955 (eight as well) and Luis Carniglia in 1963 (unbeaten in his first 13).”

Puricelli was the first to achieve the eight-match milestone in 1955, while Carniglia subsequently set a higher standard with his extended unbeaten run beginning in 1963. Amorim’s achievement therefore places him among managers who made an immediate impact at one of Italy’s most successful clubs.

The record is particularly encouraging given the challenges Milan have faced with injuries and tactical adjustments. Amorim has shown a willingness to adapt his system to the available players, allowing the team to maintain its competitive edge even when key options are missing.

One legendary milestone remains

Although Amorim has now matched Puricelli’s achievement, Luis Carniglia’s record of 13 consecutive unbeaten Serie A matches at the beginning of his Milan tenure remains the next milestone. Amorim needs five more league matches without defeat to equal that mark and establish himself alongside another significant figure in the club’s history.

The upcoming fixtures will provide a serious test, with Bologna arriving before the highly anticipated derby against Inter. Milan must also manage a demanding schedule while dealing with injuries, making consistency and squad rotation essential.

Amorim’s tactical flexibility has already helped Milan navigate difficult moments, although there remains room for improvement. The victory over Udinese demonstrated the team’s attacking potential, but its defensive concentration and ability to control matches for the full 90 minutes will be equally important in the coming weeks.

Pulisic’s resurgence has been another positive development for Amorim. After enduring a lengthy league scoring drought, the American has scored twice in his last four Serie A appearances, including goals against Lecce and Udinese.

]]> https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/lionel-messi-joins-gianluigi-buffon-among-the-oldest-top-ten-ballon-dor-finishers-in-history/ Lionel Messi joins Gianluigi Buffon among the oldest top-ten Ballon d’Or finishers in history Tue, 27 Oct 2026 16:13:10 -0400 Lionel Messi has added another milestone to his career by finishing fifth in the 2026 Ballon d’Or at 39 years and four months old. The Inter Miami captain did not attend the gala in London, but his place among the best players of the year has put him in the history books of the award.

After finishing in fifth position, the Argentine became the third-oldest player ever to finish inside the top ten of the Ballon d’Or. Only Gianluigi Buffon and Stanley Matthews, the winner of the first edition, were older when they reached that mark.

Buffon was 39 years and 10 months old when he reached the top ten in 2017, just a few months older than Messi now, while Matthews was 41 years old when he won the inaugural award in 1956.

Harry Kane won the award, with Kylian Mbappe second, Lamine Yamal third and Rodri fourth, one place ahead of Messi. The Argentine’s fifth place came after a standout World Cup in which he scored eight goals and added four assists, won the Silver Ball and led Argentina to the final. With eight Ballon d’Or trophies already in his collection, he remains the most decorated player in the history of the award.

How Cristiano Ronaldo compares

For comparison, the last time Cristiano Ronaldo finished among the top ten players in the Ballon d’Or was in 2021, when he placed sixth while playing for Manchester United. The Portuguese forward was 36 years and nine months old when the ceremony took place in November of that year, more than two and a half years younger than Messi is now.

That remains the last time the five-time winner cracked the top ten. He has remained outside it in every edition since, while Messi, who won the award in 2021 and again in 2023, has returned to the top five at an age when Ronaldo was no longer in the conversation for the award.

Every Ballon d’Or finish of Lionel Messi

Messi’s fifth-place finish in 2026 is his 17th appearance in the Ballon d’Or voting, a career that includes eight wins, the most in the history of the award. These are all of his results:

After months of uncertainty surrounding his contract, the American forward is expected to commit to the Rossoneri in a move that could shape the club’s plans for the coming years.

The development comes as Pulisic rediscovers his scoring touch under manager Ruben Amorim, strengthening his position within the squad. With several reports pointing towards an imminent announcement, Milan appears ready to make a significant statement about their ambitions and the players they want to build around.

The American improved form has strengthened the case for a renewal after a difficult period affected by injuries and inconsistent performances. The 28-year-old suffered a bone injury to his right lower leg during the United States’ World Cup campaign and missed a significant part of the team’s preseason preparations. His return has brought encouraging results, with two goals in his last four league appearances.

He scored against Lecce before opening the scoring in Milan’s 2-0 victory over Udinese, ending a lengthy league scoring drought. Amorim has also played an important role by deploying Pulisic closer to goal, often in a central attacking position rather than on the wing. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the pair “share the same footballing vision,” while the coach has won the American over by giving him a more advanced role.

That tactical adjustment has allowed Pulisic to use his movement, close control and ability to exploit spaces between the opposition’s defensive lines. His combination with Luka Modric was particularly effective against Udinese, where the Croatian midfielder helped create the opportunity for Pulisic’s opening goal.

Pulisic and Milan reach agreement in principle

According to multiple outlets, such as Sky Italia, La Gazzetta dello Sport, journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, and Fabrizio Romano, Milan and Pulisic have reached an agreement in principle on a contract extension. The final details are reportedly being resolved, with the official announcement expected in the coming days.

The proposed agreement would extend Pulisic’s stay at San Siro until June 2031, giving the club greater security over one of its most influential attacking players. His existing contract was due to expire in 2027, although the Rossoneri had an option to extend it by another season.

Renewal discussions have taken considerable time, with previous negotiations reportedly encountering difficulties. However, Milan has remained determined to reach an agreement, and the latest progress suggests that both parties are ready to move forward together.

The new salary reflects his importance

The financial details underline the significance of the expected extension. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Pulisic is set to earn €5 million ($5.5m) per season, plus bonuses, increasing his current reported salary of €4 million ($4.5) annually.

The improved terms would place the American among Milan’s highest-paid players and reflect his contribution since arriving from Chelsea in 2023. He has recorded 44 goals in 141 appearances for the Italian club, establishing himself as a key figure in its attack.

The contract also represents a long-term commitment from owner Gerry Cardinale, who reportedly views Pulisic as essential to the Italian giant’s present and future. Calciomercato has also reported that the club intends to build its project around the forward, particularly following Rafael Leao’s departure.

Milan send clear message about their future

The anticipated renewal carries significance beyond the contract itself. Milan expect Pulisic to become a central figure in the club’s long-term project, with Cardinale’s reported confidence reinforcing the forward’s importance to the team.

Pulisic has previously acknowledged that he is not the most vocal personality in the dressing room, but he prefers to lead through his performances. After the Udinese match, he explained: “There are many leaders in the team. I don’t talk much, but I want to show it on the pitch.”

His recent goals have demonstrated that approach, helping the team collect valuable points during a demanding period marked by several injuries. The club will hope that his renewed confidence translates into consistent performances throughout the campaign.

The statement, published on the Real Madrid forward’s social media accounts, comes as Chinese state television has reportedly suspended LaLiga broadcasts in the country.

The controversy began with a video, reportedly filmed in April and shared by the French podcast The Bridge, in which Mbappe was asked about his favorite meme. He said the funniest one he had seen put his face on “some guy,” adding “I think he’s a Chinese dictator”.

He did not name him, but the comment was widely read as a reference to a popular meme that places the forward’s face on an image of Mao Zedong, the founding leader of the People’s Republic of China.

“My comment was ill-judged and I now understand that it hurt many people in China and in Chinese communities around the world,” the French star wrote. He explained that he “reacted to an image of myself” and added: “I apologise to everyone my words have upset. This was absolutely not my intention. I have deep respect for the Chinese people and their history, and I am sincerely sorry”. The message was published in French, Mandarin, and English.

Backlash in China reaches LaLiga and Mbappe’s sponsors

According to The Paper, a state-backed Chinese outlet, state broadcaster CCTV suspended broadcasts of LaLiga matches and of games involving Mbappe starting Monday night, Oct. 26, citing sources linked to the public broadcaster.

The report also said all advertisements and videos featuring the forward were removed. The decision has not been officially confirmed by CCTV, and the league’s streaming deal with Migu, renewed through the 2029-30 season, has reportedly not been affected.

The reaction has also hit the player’s commercial deals. Beverage group Dongpeng, which said it has a “zero-tolerance policy” toward behavior that offends national sentiments, ended its contract with Mbappe with immediate effect, and dairy companies Mengniu and Milkground also cut ties.

China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Guo Jiakun, said words and actions that hurt the feelings of the Chinese people “will naturally be met with joint opposition from all sectors of Chinese society”.

Javier Tebas apologizes on behalf of LaLiga

LaLiga has also responded to the controversy, issuing a statement in which the league “deeply regrets” the offense caused among Chinese fans and stressing that Mbappe’s comments “were made in a personal capacity and do not represent LaLiga”.

The organization apologized on behalf of the competition and all its clubs. President Javier Tebas went further in his own words: “We fully understand and respect the sensitivity of the Chinese people and sincerely regret any harm these statements may have caused,” he said, extending his apologies “to all those who have felt offended.”

Javier Tebas’ post on his X account.

Tebas highlighted the league’s long-standing ties with the country and warned against letting the episode damage them. “A relationship built over so many years cannot be damaged by a single episode,” he wrote on X, adding that LaLiga is “taking the measures within our reach and working directly with our partners and interlocutors in China to overcome this situation”. The league also announced it will develop a sensitivity and communication protocol together with clubs and players.

With Bologna visiting San Siro before the Derby della Madonnina against Inter, the predicted lineup could reveal how the Milan coach intends to balance immediate results with the demands of the weekend showdown.

Milan heads into Wednesday’s match after a convincing 2-0 victory over Udinese, while Bologna also arrives on the back of a 2-0 win against Cagliari. However, with several players dealing with fitness problems and a demanding schedule taking its toll, Amorim may have to make significant changes.

The Rossoneri responded impressively to their disappointing European defeat against Bournemouth, where they suffered a 3-0 loss, by securing three points in Udine. Pulisic opened the scoring before Omari Hutchinson added a second, giving Amorim’s side a much-needed boost ahead of their upcoming fixtures. It remains among the few teams yet to lose in Serie A this season and is looking to extend its strong domestic run.

The Red and Blacks’ players also have an opportunity to reduce the gap to city rivals Inter, who currently lead the standings, when the teams meet in Saturday’s derby. San Siro has been a particularly encouraging venue for Milan, who have won their home league matches this season.

Their historical record against Bologna is also favorable, with just one defeat in their previous 21 Serie A meetings. The Rossoblu, meanwhile, have shown signs of improvement since Raffaele Palladino took charge. It secured consecutive away victories against Lecce and Cagliari.

Pulisic’s role could change against Bologna

The biggest question surrounding Milan’s predicted lineup concerns Pulisic and whether Amorim will use the American from the start or preserve him for the derby. The forward has recently rediscovered his scoring touch, and his goal against Udinese continued a promising run of attacking contributions.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Amorim is considering resting Pulisic against Bologna, with Alphadjo Cisse potentially replacing him in an advanced attacking role behind Goncalo Ramos. The decision would allow the coach to manage Pulisic’s workload ahead of Saturday’s high-profile meeting with Inter.

The American’s recent form makes the situation particularly interesting. He has registered four goal contributions in his last seven Serie A appearances, matching the total he produced across his previous 20 league matches, according to the supplied match preview.

Whether he starts or comes off the bench, his involvement could prove important against a Bologna side that has struggled to contain Milan away from home. Amorim must decide whether the immediate opportunity to secure another league victory outweighs the benefits of keeping one of his most dangerous attackers fresh for the derby.

Modric and several injured players add to Amorim’s dilemmas

Pulisic is not the only player whose minutes could be managed. Luka Modric is also tipped to receive a rest, with Yunus Musah potentially stepping into the midfield alongside Ardon Jashari as Milan attempt to maintain their intensity without overworking key players.

Milan’s options remain limited by several absences. Mario Gila, Diego Moreira and Adrien Rabiot are expected to remain unavailable, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek has reportedly suffered a thigh injury that could keep him out until after the international break.

Samuel Chukwueze, Mattia Gabbia, Alexis Saelemaekers and Filippo Terracciano are also listed among the unavailable players in the supplied reports. These absences leave Amorim with fewer opportunities to rotate, particularly in defence and midfield.

Kane’s historic 2025-26 campaign helped him secure the Ballon d’Or, while Messi’s extraordinary achievements continue to provide the benchmark against which the game’s greatest goalscorers are measured.

The England captain enjoyed a phenomenal season with Bayern Munich and his national team, finishing ahead of Kylian Mbappe and Lamine Yamal in the 2026 Ballon d’Or rankings. His goalscoring numbers, however, tell an even more remarkable story, connecting him with one of Messi’s most iconic campaigns.

Kane was crowned the 2026 Ballon d’Or winner, becoming the first Englishman to receive soccer’s most prestigious individual award since Michael Owen in 2001. The Bayern Munich striker finished ahead of Mbappe in second place and Barcelona youngster Yamal in third, while Messi placed fifth. The award recognized the striker’s outstanding performances throughout the 2025-26 season, during which he scored 73 goals for club and country.

His prolific form helped Bayern secure domestic silverware and reinforced his reputation as one of the most consistent and clinical forwards in world soccer. Speaking after receiving the award in London, Kane struggled to put the achievement into words. “I am almost speechless. Being here in London has made it extra special – that made it a good omen for me,” he said. “Thank you to everyone who voted for me. I can imagine it was tough this year. There are some world-class players in the room tonight.”

The victory represented the culmination of a long journey for the Englishman, who worked his way through several loan spells early in his career before establishing himself among the world’s elite. His perseverance and sustained improvement ultimately brought him the individual recognition that had previously eluded him.

The record that connects Kane with Messi

The most striking detail of Kane’s season is the rarity of his goalscoring achievement. According to Opta, only two players from Europe’s top-five leagues have scored at least 70 goals across club and international soccer in a single season during the 21st century: Lionel Messi and Harry Kane.

Messi established the benchmark in 2011-12, scoring 82 goals, while Kane followed with 73 during the 2025-26 campaign. The statistic underlines the extraordinary level of consistency required to maintain such production across an entire season.

Although Kane did not match Messi’s total, reaching 70 goals remains an exceptional accomplishment in an era of demanding schedules, organized defences and intense competition.

How Messi set the benchmark in 2011-12

Messi’s 2011-12 campaign remains one of the most extraordinary individual seasons in soccer history. The Argentine scored 82 goals, setting a standard that few players have come close to matching, even among the sport’s most celebrated attackers.

His achievement formed part of an era in which Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo repeatedly pushed the boundaries of individual performance. Messi’s record-setting season demonstrated how a forward could combine creative influence with extraordinary finishing output, making him a reference point for future generations.

Kane’s achievement now gives that historic campaign a new point of comparison. While the England captain fell nine goals short of Messi’s total, his 73-goal haul places him in an exceptionally exclusive statistical category.

Following a turbulent spell involving disciplinary action and a public disagreement with head coach Jorge Jesus, a new development has brought fresh attention to the 41-year-old captain’s status ahead of November’s matches.

This comes after the Portuguese Football Federation handed him a 30-day suspension and a €255 fine for leaving the national team’s training camp on September 30. The suspension was backdated to the date of the incident, making him eligible for selection during the November international break.

The incident followed a disagreement over Ronaldo’s playing time, particularly after he was left on the bench against Norway. The Al-Nassr forward reportedly believed Jesus had promised him a chance to play, but the coach did not follow through.

Ronaldo also expressed frustration over a press conference before Portugal’s match against Denmark, claiming that Jesus had failed to address points they had previously agreed upon. His departure from the camp triggered widespread speculation about whether the dispute could bring his international career to an abrupt end.

Ronaldo apologised but insisted he was not retiring

The Portugal captain later addressed the controversy publicly, apologizing to supporters and his teammates for his behavior while accepting that disciplinary action could follow. Despite the tension, he made it clear that the incident did not represent his decision to retire from international soccer.

In October, Ronaldo also discussed the possibility of a future farewell with Portugal, explaining that his priority remained competing rather than arranging a ceremonial departure. “I can promise all my fans, naturally and especially all Portuguese people, that we will have one or more farewell matches; there will be time for that,” Ronaldo said. “But when I think of the national team, what I really think of is competing.”

Will Jorge Jesus include Ronaldo in November squad?

According to Portuguese outlet O Jogo, the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) has confirmed that Ronaldo is included in the country’s preliminary squad for the upcoming fixtures. However, his place in the final selection remains uncertain, with Jesus expected to announce his squad on November 6.

Portugal faces Denmark in Braga on November 14 before travelling to Wales for its final group-stage match on November 17. Ronaldo’s presence on the preliminary list keeps the possibility of his return open, but it does not guarantee that he will be selected or feature in either match.

The final decision rests with Jesus, whose relationship with the veteran forward has come under scrutiny following their disagreement. The coach must now weigh Ronaldo’s experience and international achievements against the team’s recent results and the need to maintain harmony within the squad.

For the 41-year-old veteran, a November call-up would offer an opportunity to move beyond the controversy and resume his pursuit of further international milestones. The November 6 squad announcement will determine whether Portugal’s captain is ready to return to competitive action or whether his absence continues into the Nations League knockout stage.

]]> https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/cristiano-ronaldo-and-ivan-toney-see-golden-boot-tallies-drop-after-saudi-pro-league-reclassifies-goals/ Cristiano Ronaldo and Ivan Toney see Golden Boot tallies drop after Saudi Pro League reclassifies goals Tue, 27 Oct 2026 12:12:38 -0400 The Saudi Pro League Golden Boot race has taken an unexpected turn after the league reclassified a goal each for Cristiano Ronaldo and Ivan Toney as own goals. The change leaves both strikers with one fewer goal in the official standings, even though the match statistics still credit them.

Ronaldo’s case dates back to Al Nassr’s 3-1 win at Al Faisaly in matchweek 11. The Portuguese appeared to head home the second goal in the 49th minute from a Joao Felix free kick, and he celebrated it as the fifth goal of the season and the 982nd of his career.

Replays, though, suggested the ball may have come off the head of defender Andrei Girotto, and the league ultimately recorded it as an own goal by the opponent instead of crediting him with a header.

Toney’s situation is almost identical. The England striker headed Al Ahli into the lead in the 11th minute of their 4-1 win over Al Khaleej, a goal that was reviewed by VAR for several minutes over a possible offside interference from a teammate and contact with defender Mohammed Khabrani before referee Abdullah Al-Shahri confirmed it.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s statistics according to the Saudi Pro League official website.

Now the league has taken the goal away from him as well, recording it as an own goal and dropping his tally to 12 despite his stoppage-time penalty in the same match.

Saudi Pro League’s own numbers contradict each other

The reclassification has created an unusual contradiction within the league’s own data. While the standings now reflect the goals as own goals, the official match statistics still credit both of them to Ronaldo and Toney, leaving the two sets of records pointing in opposite directions.

Al Nassr’s match sheet against Al Faisaly, according to the Saudi Pro League’s official website.

The adjustment does little to change the top of the Golden Boot race. Toney remains comfortably in front with 12 goals, five clear of Mateo Retegui and Youssef En-Nesyri, who have seven each, while Ronaldo, on four, now sits well down the list.

Statistics sites such as Transfermarkt still credit the goals to Ronaldo and Toney, but the Saudi Pro League’s official website does not, leaving the two strikers with one fewer goal in the records that matter most for the Golden Boot race. Unless the league reverses its decision, the official figures will be the ones that count as the season goes on.

Mon, 26 Oct 2026 20:22:14 -0400 Today, the soccer world will find out who takes home the sport’s ultimate individual honor as the 2026 Ballon d’Or winner is revealed in London. Beyond the fierce debate over who will lift the golden trophy, the burning question on everyone’s mind was why eight-time winner Lionel Messi did not attend the ceremony.

Messi was not present at the London Palladium. While initial rumors suggested he might attend to present one of the evening’s major honors, his presence was ruled out before the event, as the grueling transatlantic flight from Miami to London made an in-person appearance today impossible.

“Lionel Messi will not be presenting a trophy to any of the winners at the Ballon d’Or, as he has not been invited to do so,” the soccer insider wrote on X about Messi’s possible attendance.

Is Lionel Messi nominated for the 2026 Ballon d’Or?

Yes, Lionel Messi features on the 30-man shortlist for the 2026 Ballon d’Or—a stark contrast to longtime rival Cristiano Ronaldo, who was omitted from the nominations after voters concluded his calendar year was not strong enough to warrant a spot among the finalists.

The shortlist features the game’s brightest modern stars. While Kylian Mbappé of Real Madrid and Lamine Yamal of FC Barcelona stand as the definitive frontrunners following their decisive domestic and international campaigns, Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane and other continental standouts have also garnered strong support among the voting panel.

What would happen if Lionel Messi wins the 2026 Ballon d’Or?

If Messi were to claim the 2026 Ballon d’Or in absentia, protocol dictates that the trophy would likely be accepted on his behalf by an event host or club representative, followed by a pre-recorded video acceptance speech thanking the global panel of journalists for their votes.

Lifting the award would mark an unprecedented ninth Ballon d’Or in Messi’s legendary career, adding to his historic triumphs in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2019, 2021, and most recently in 2023 following Argentina’s 2022 FIFA World Cup victory in Qatar.

]]> https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/why-was-cristiano-ronaldo-omitted-from-the-2026-ballon-dor-30-man-shortlist/ Why was Cristiano Ronaldo omitted from the 2026 Ballon d’Or 30-man shortlist? Mon, 26 Oct 2026 13:50:19 -0400 Cristiano Ronaldo has enjoyed a storied career spanning more than two decades. However, the Portuguese icon has now been omitted from the 2026 Ballon d’Or shortlist in a decision that has taken many soccer supporters by surprise.

Ronaldo failed to make the 30-man cut after the voting panel determined his campaign was not sufficiently dominant to rank among the world’s elite over the qualifying period. While he enjoyed a prolific individual season with Al Nassr, the Saudi Pro League continues to face skepticism from global voters regarding its relative competitiveness.

By contrast, Julian Quinones of Mexico did earn a nomination while playing in the Saudi Pro League with Al Qadsiah, having finished the domestic campaign as the league’s top scorer. Quinones also anchored Mexico’s attack during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, finishing as his nation’s top marksman and leading El Tri on a historic knockout-stage run on home soil.

When was Cristiano Ronaldo’s last Ballon d’Or nomination?

Ronaldo was last nominated for the Ballon d’Or in 2022. He finished 20th in the global voting that year, an edition that saw former Real Madrid teammate Karim Benzema capture the first and only Ballon d’Or of his career.

Ronaldo joined Al Nassr in January 2023. While his scoring output for the Saudi side has remained remarkably consistent, his inability to deliver major silverware at club level alongside more subdued tournament showings with the Portugal national team have seen him omitted from the shortlist in four consecutive editions: 2023, 2024, 2025, and now 2026.

Since falling out of contention for the shortlist, Ronaldo has publicly dismissed the significance of individual accolades. The veteran striker has noted on several occasions that subjective voting bodies—composed of journalists and media figures whom he feels harbor personal biases—undermine the true sporting credibility of the award.

How many Ballons d’Or has Cristiano Ronaldo won?

Cristiano Ronaldo has claimed five Ballon d’Or awards across his illustrious career. He holds the all-time record for career nominations with 18, with his most recent triumph arriving in 2017.

Ronaldo lifted the coveted trophy in 2008, 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2017. Now in the twilight of his playing days, the forward has shifted his ambitions away from gala podiums and onto the pitch, channeling his full focus toward surpassing the unprecedented milestone of 1,000 career goals before hanging up his boots.

]]> https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/real-madrid-coach-jose-mourinho-downplays-defeating-barcelona-we-must-not-go-over-the-moon/ Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho downplays defeating Barcelona: ‘We must not go over the moon’ Sun, 25 Oct 2026 21:41:59 -0400 Real Madrid secured a crucial victory against Barcelona on Matchday 10 of the 2026–27 La Liga season. However, manager Jose Mourinho firmly believes the squad must avoid complacency, reminding them that the job is far from finished and the domestic campaign remains long and grueling.

Propelled by a clinical brace from Kylian Mbappe—who reached the historic milestone of 100 goals in a Real Madrid shirt—Los Blancos marched into Spotify Camp Nou and walked away with three vital points in hand. Nevertheless, Madrid remain third in the La Liga standings, and Mourinho is acutely aware that his players must keep their feet firmly planted on the ground if they hope to lift silverware at the end of the season.

“In my view, Real Madrid do not play to win at the Camp Nou… Real Madrid play to win LaLiga,” Mourinho said after the game. “This must be the mentality. We need to continue like this and don’t go over the moon after this win.”

Real Madrid locked in a vital win on Matchday 10

Entering Sunday’s showdown, Real Madrid trailed the Blaugrana by six points in the table. This away triumph allowed them to slash the deficit to just three points, keeping alive their ambitions of overtaking both Barcelona and second-place Atletico Madrid to claim the top spot before the mid-season winter break.

Achieving this victory without the suspended Vinicius Junior and starting goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois—who was sidelined on Sunday morning with a severe flu—showcased the squad’s tactical maturity and proved they do not rely solely on individual star names. With a healthier, deeper bench, Real Madrid are once again being viewed as genuine contenders both domestically and in the UEFA Champions League, where they maintain a strong European campaign.

Last season, recurring injuries severely undermined Real Madrid’s consistency and depth, limiting their ability to challenge on all fronts. If Mourinho can keep his core squad fit and firing over the grueling winter schedule, this Madrid team possesses every ingredient required to restore the dominant standard expected at the Santiago Bernabeu.

]]> https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/julian-alvarez-apologizes-to-atletico-madrid-fans-over-his-world-cup-comments-i-would-have-been-angry-too/ Julian Alvarez apologizes to Atletico Madrid fans over his World Cup comments: ‘I would have been angry too’ Sun, 25 Oct 2026 20:48:10 -0400 Julian Alvarez has publicly addressed the controversy that followed his World Cup remarks, asking Atletico Madrid supporters for forgiveness. The Argentine forward spoke in an interview with Movistar Plus Deportes after giving his team a 1-0 win over Deportivo La Coruña at the Metropolitano.

“I wanted to apologize to our people for my words during the World Cup. They were a mistake on my part, both the way I said them and the timing, and above all I understand people’s anger,” Alvarez said. “As a fan, I would have been angry too, especially considering how they have always supported me over all these years and these last few weeks, when they have been very generous. I value that a lot”.

His comments during the tournament expressed a desire to leave the club, which did not sit well with the fans. The forward was heavily criticized by the supporters after his remarks, who made their frustration clear with boos at every home game and even demanded that he leave the team.

Even so, he kept working to find his best form again, and it was only against Stuttgart in the Champions League that he scored his first goal of the season. Against Deportivo La Coruna, he then became the hero by scoring his side’s only goal to secure three valuable points.

Alvarez also said he is feeling better on the pitch. “Little by little I’m feeling good. I thank all my teammates because they have supported me a lot during this time,” he said, adding that he feels sharper both with the ball and physically. “When you feel good in life, it shows on the pitch. It’s everything: family, I’ve spent a lot of time at home doing other things, and it all matters, but I feel good and ready to compete for everything.” Asked whether the whistles could turn into applause, he answered: “I hope so, with work and humility”.

The World Cup comments that sparked the backlash

The controversy began at the World Cup, when Alvarez spoke with Argentine media in the mixed zone after Argentina’s 2-0 win over Austria. The forward, who had reportedly been upset with how his club handled Barcelona’s $116 million bid, which went unanswered, confirmed that he wanted to leave.

“I don’t think it’s the right time to talk about this, but I can’t hide or pretend otherwise either. I try to be an honest person. I spoke with the people at the club, with those I needed to talk to,” Alvarez told a reporter. “I think a transfer is best for everyone, and I want to fulfill my dream”.

The comments left the Argentine in an uncomfortable spot, with the club’s supporters turning on him and the pressure building at every home game. His transfer never materialized, though, and he stayed in Madrid to face the consequences. Now, after finally finding the net again, he has chosen to own his words and ask the fans to turn the page.

]]> https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/kylian-mbappe-hits-100-goals-with-real-madrid-in-win-over-barcelona-falls-short-of-cristiano-ronaldos-historic-pace/ Kylian Mbappe hits 100 goals with Real Madrid in win over Barcelona, falls short of Cristiano Ronaldo’s historic pace Sun, 25 Oct 2026 19:55:18 -0400 Kylian Mbappe enjoyed a banner night in Catalonia. Not only did he score the brace that powered Real Madrid to a 2–1 victory over Barcelona, but he also reached the century mark for Los Blancos—even if it fell just shy of Cristiano Ronaldo’s record-setting pace.

Mbappe has been an indispensable asset for Real Madrid since arriving in the summer of 2024. His match-winning display at Spotify Camp Nou took him to 100 goals in just 115 competitive appearances. While a remarkable feat of elite consistency, it leaves him just behind the benchmark set by his childhood idol.

Ronaldo reached his first century of goals for Real Madrid in an astonishing 105 matches. The Portuguese icon achieved the milestone in 10 fewer games than Mbappe, cementing his position alongside legendary forward Ferenc Puskás among the most lethal finishers in club history.

It couldn’t arrive at a better time

While Mbappe’s hyper-competitive drive might have craved breaking Ronaldo’s record outright, the milestone could not have arrived at a more opportune moment. Delivering it against Madrid’s fiercest rivals on hostile territory added poetic justice to a victory that trimmed Barcelona’s lead at the top of La Liga from six points to just three.

Mbappe’s relentless hunger was on full display throughout the contest. By reaching this landmark while deciding El Clasico, the Frenchman provided the exact psychological catalyst Real Madrid required to re-establish their domestic title credentials and signal that the championship race is wide open.

Real Madrid now sit third in the table, having leapfrogged Real Betis and closed in on both second-place Atletico Madrid and leaders Barcelona. Armed with consecutive statement victories across La Liga and the Champions League, Los Blancos head toward the winter break looking every bit like genuine frontrunners on both fronts.

]]> https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/why-is-vinicius-junior-not-playing-for-real-madrid-vs-barcelona-in-2026-27-laliga-matchday-10/ Why is Vinicius Junior not playing for Real Madrid vs Barcelona in 2026-27 LaLiga Matchday 10? Sun, 25 Oct 2026 18:30:56 -0400 Matchday 10 of the 2026–27 La Liga season delivers the first El Clasico of the campaign between Real Madrid and Barcelona, but Vinicius Junior will not feature in Los Blancos’ squad for this crucial clash against their arch-rivals.

On Matchday 8, Vinicius was sent off during Real Madrid’s 1–0 win over Villarreal. The Brazilian winger pulled Nathan Saliba’s hair during a counter-attack that initially culminated in a goal of his own; however, a VAR review identified the violent conduct, prompting the referee to disallow the strike and show him a straight red card.

An initial one-match suspension was widely expected for the forward. However, the Spanish Disciplinary Committee determined that his subsequent protests toward the officiating crew were excessively aggressive, extending the sanction to four matches and ruling him out of the trip to Catalonia.

Who will replace Vinicius Junior against Barcelona?

Real Madrid retain ample attacking depth to compensate for Vinicius Junior’s absence. For the clash at Spotify Camp Nou, Yan Diomande will occupy the left flank of the frontline.

In their previous La Liga fixture against Sevilla, manager Jose Mourinho deployed Endrick, Kylian Mbappe, and Yan Diomande as the starting attacking trident, securing a commanding 4–1 victory. Mbappe led the line with a brace, Diomande added a clinical solo effort, and Arda Guler scored from an advanced midfield role to cap an electric performance.

While Mourinho has publicly maintained that Vinicius will reclaim his starting spot once his suspension concludes, the convincing displays of Endrick and Diomande have generated debate regarding the Brazilian’s automatic inclusion. Tactical cohesion between Vinicius and Mbappe has been an ongoing focal point in recent seasons, and in the winger’s absence, the Frenchman has produced some of his most fluid, dominant performances of the campaign.

]]> https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/why-is-thibaut-courtois-not-playing-for-real-madrid-vs-barcelona-in-2026-27-laliga-matchday-10/ Why is Thibaut Courtois not playing for Real Madrid vs Barcelona in 2026-27 LaLiga Matchday 10? Sun, 25 Oct 2026 18:30:48 -0400 Real Madrid will have to navigate Sunday’s high-stakes El Clasico against Barcelona without starting goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who was ruled out of the Matchday 10 clash at Spotify Camp Nou after suddenly coming down with the flu.

The Belgian international was fully expected to anchor Los Blancos‘ back line in Catalonia, but acute viral symptoms struck the veteran shot-stopper on the morning of the match. With a high fever and physical exhaustion rendering him unfit to compete at maximum intensity, the club’s medical staff determined that Courtois should remain isolated and resting at the team hotel rather than risk worsening his condition.

Courtois’ sudden withdrawal creates an untimely tactical challenge for Real Madrid in a fixture that could dictate the trajectory of the La Liga title race. Arriving alongside Vinicius Junior’s absence, losing an undisputed defensive cornerstone just hours before kickoff places heightened pressure on Madrid’s defensive unit against a prolific Barcelona attack.

Lunin steps up under the Camp Nou spotlight

With Courtois unavailable, Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin will take over between the posts for this marquee encounter. Lunin is well accustomed to high-pressure emergency duty, having repeatedly demonstrated his composure on major stages during previous injury crises, earning the complete trust of the dressing room in both domestic and European fixtures.

Despite Lunin’s proven pedigree, stepping in cold against Barcelona’s free-scoring frontline at Spotify Camp Nou represents an immense assignment. The Ukrainian shot-stopper will need to command his penalty box with authority and maintain sharp distribution, organizing a back line that must contain the creative menace of Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.

A standout performance this afternoon would once again validate Lunin’s standing as one of the most reliable and capable second-choice goalkeepers in world soccer. For Real Madrid, keeping Barcelona’s high-octane attack at bay and preserving their hopes of narrowing the league deficit will hinge largely on whether Lunin can deliver another resolute display under the Catalan spotlight.

Udinese come into this one on a three-game losing skid, falling 0-3 to Lecce on October 18 after a 1-2 defeat to Torino the week before. Before that stretch they were beaten 0-1 by Cagliari on September 19, leaving them without a win across their last three outings. Three points here would do plenty to stop the bleeding and settle nerves around Kosta Runjaic’s group.
AC Milan arrive in better shape, having beaten Atalanta 3-2 on October 18 after a 1-1 draw with Sassuolo on October 11. Those results followed a 3-0 win over Lecce back on September 20, giving Milan two wins and a draw in their last three. A positive result in Udine would keep Milan’s momentum going as they push for points in the standings.

Udinese projected lineup

Runjaic sets Udinese up in a 3-4-2-1, with Maduka Okoye behind a back three of Matteo Palma, Nicolo Bertola and Enzo Ebosse. Jurgen Ekkelenkamp and Mergim Vojvoda provide the width as wingbacks, while Jesper Karlstrom and Jakub Piotrowski anchor the midfield. Giorgi Chakvetadze and Hassane Kamara sit just behind lone striker Keinan Davis, and with no absences listed, Runjaic has his full group available to try to end the losing run.

Liverpool split their last three games, beating Brentford 2-1 on October 17 after a 0-3 loss to Man City on October 11, with a 1-0 win over Bournemouth back on September 20 in between. The Brentford result snapped the skid caused by the City defeat, but the manner of that loss still lingers. A win here would give Iraola’s side consecutive victories for the first time in this stretch and steady their position in the table.
Albion arrive off three straight wins, the latest a 5-0 rout of Crystal Palace on October 18 that followed a 2-0 win over Sunderland on October 10 and a 3-0 win over Arsenal on September 19. That run has them scoring freely against opponents of every level, top flight contenders included. Another result on the road would stretch the streak to four and send a message that Hürzeler’s team belong among the league’s in-form sides.

Liverpool confirmed lineup

Iraola sets Liverpool up in a 4-2-3-1 with Alisson behind a back line of Araujo, Van Dijk, Jacquet and Kerkez. Gravenberch and Mac Allister sit in midfield behind a front line of Wirtz, Barcola and Gakpo supporting Isak as the lone striker. The team is missing Frimpong, Szoboszlai, Leoni, Nallo and Ekitiké, with Ekitiké’s absence up front leaving Isak as the central reference point and shifting more creative responsibility onto Wirtz and Mac Allister.

Hürzeler goes with a mirrored 4-2-3-1, Verbruggen in goal protected by Kadioglu, Vušković, Dunk and Boscagli. Gross and Ayari anchor midfield, with Andrés and Gómez tucked behind Kostoulas and De Cuyper in the front four. Albion are without Struijk, Wieffer, Tzimas, Minteh, Ferguson, Yohanna, Azeez and Mitoma, a long absentee list that puts extra weight on Kostoulas to lead the attack and on Gross and Ayari to control the tempo without their usual depth options.

]]> https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/why-is-lionel-messi-not-starting-for-inter-miami-vs-new-york-red-bulls-in-2026-mls/ Why is Lionel Messi not starting for Inter Miami vs New York Red Bulls in 2026 MLS? Sat, 24 Oct 2026 17:47:28 -0400 Lionel Messi is not in Inter Miami’s starting lineup for the match against Red Bull New York, as head coach Cristian “Kily” Gonzalez opted to leave the Argentine star on the bench. Messi is not injured, and the decision comes just hours after his return from Spain.

Gonzalez’s choice appears to be about rest. Messi traveled to Oviedo to receive the Princess of Asturias Award for Sports on Oct. 23 and flew back to the United States right after the ceremony, leaving him little time to recover or train with the team before the match at Sports Illustrated Stadium.

The context of the match also made the decision easier for Gonzalez. Inter Miami have already clinched a spot in the MLS Cup Playoffs, and Nashville SC have already secured the Supporters’ Shield, which leaves Miami with no chance of competing for it. The team’s priority now is to finish second in the Eastern Conference and prepare for the postseason as defending MLS Cup champions.

Messi is still available to play and is expected to get minutes off the bench in the second half, although there is a chance he may not play at all. “We should feel proud that he, through his own initiative, wants to be with us and wants to play,” Gonzalez said of the captain, who scored twice in Miami’s previous match, a 3-1 win over Atlanta United.

Inter Miami and Red Bull New York confirmed lineups

In Messi’s absence, Fillipi Riquelme gets the nod in the attack and Luis Suarez will wear the captain’s armband, with German Berterame completing the front line.

Inter Miami arrive in search of a fourth straight win and second in the Eastern Conference with 56 points, while Red Bull New York, managed by Michael Bradley, are 10th in the league table with 36.

Inter Miami (4-3-3): Dayne St. Clair; Gonzalo Lujan, Casemiro, Micael, Sergio Reguilon; Rodrigo De Paul, David Ayala, Matias Galarza; Fillipi Riquelme, Luis Suarez (C), German Berterame.

Red Bull New York (4-3-3): Ethan Horvath; Dylan Nealis (C), Julian Bazan, Tim Parker, Devin Padelford; Mohammed Sofo, Adri Mehmeti, Ronald Donkor; Cade Cowell, Julian Hall, Jorge Ruvalcaba.

The Red Bulls have dropped back to back games, falling 0-2 to Toronto FC last Saturday and 1-2 to DC on October 14. Before that stretch they looked sharp, putting four past San Diego FC in a 4-1 win on October 10. A result against Inter Miami would steady a team that has lost its last two outings and needs to arrest the slide.
Inter Miami arrive in the form of their lives, having won three straight games. They beat Atlanta United 3-1 on October 17, followed a 2-0 win over NYCFC on October 14, and before that hammered DC 4-0 on October 10. Another win would extend that run to four games and keep them rolling into the next stretch of the season.

Red Bulls projected lineup

Michael Bradley sends out a 4-3-3 with Ethan Horvath behind a back line of Dylan Nealis, Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty, Julian Bazan and Devin Padelford. Ronald Donkor, Adri Mehmeti and Mohammed Sofo make up the midfield, with Cameron Harper, Cade Cowell and Julian Hall forming the front line. There are no absences to factor in, so Bradley has his full group available to try to snap the team’s two-game losing run.

Sat, 24 Oct 2026 16:00:45 -0400 Cristiano Ronaldo continues to make history with Al-Nassr, as the Saudi Pro League side approaches a milestone that could further cement its place in soccer folklore. Following another impressive victory, the Portuguese superstar and his teammates have extended an extraordinary run that has survived multiple seasons, different opponents, and the relentless pressure of competing at the highest level.

Al-Nassr’s latest result has brought the club closer to another landmark in its remarkable goalscoring journey. With Ronaldo still playing a central role in the attack, the question now is how much further the Riyadh side can push a record that has already surpassed some of soccer’s most enduring achievements.

The reigning Saudi champion continued its impressive campaign with a 3-1 victory over Al-Faisaly on October 23, 2026, extending its streak to 97 consecutive Saudi Pro League matches with at least one goal. Abdullah Al-Hamdan opened the scoring, Ronaldo added a second with a powerful header, and Angelo Gabriel secured the victory after Theo Bongonda had briefly reduced the deficit.

Ronaldo’s contribution carried significance beyond the three points, as the veteran forward continues to deliver goals at 41. His latest strike also brought his reported career tally to 982 goals for club and country, leaving him increasingly close to the widely discussed 1,000-goal milestone.

However, the club’s extraordinary scoring sequence reflects a collective achievement rather than the work of one player alone. Al-Nassr has consistently found ways to score across different competitions within the league, maintaining its momentum through changing circumstances and challenging fixtures.

How Al-Nassr broke record that stood for decades

The streak began on December 8, 2023, when Al-Nassr responded to a 3-0 defeat against Al-Hilal by beating Al-Riyadh 4-1. From that match onwards, the club has scored in every Saudi Pro League fixture included in the sequence, as confirmed by official league metrics.

Its achievement eventually surpassed Al-Hilal’s previous league record of approximately 88 consecutive scoring matches. Al-Nassr then moved beyond a historic benchmark associated with Argentine giant River Plate, whose run of 93 consecutive domestic league matches dated back to the 1930s.

Al-Nassr reached 94 consecutive scoring matches in September 2026, breaking the long-standing mark according to contemporary reports. Its subsequent results have extended that record further, with the victory over Al-Faisaly taking the total to 97 consecutive league games with at least one goal.

The remarkable aspect of the run is its consistency, even when Al-Nassr has struggled to win. Draws and difficult away fixtures have not stopped the club from finding the net, allowing the sequence to continue across multiple seasons.

When could Al-Nassr reach 100 consecutive scoring games?

With the record now standing at 97 matches, Al-Nassr needs to score in three more consecutive Saudi Pro League games to reach the 100-match milestone. Every fixture between now and that target represents another opportunity to extend a streak that has already made soccer history.

According to the reported fixture projection, Al-Nassr’s 100th consecutive scoring game could come against Al-Qadsiah on November 20, 2026, provided the club scores in each of its intervening league matches. That date remains a projection rather than a guaranteed record-breaking occasion, since the streak must continue uninterrupted.

Reaching a century would provide another extraordinary landmark for the Saudi club. Few teams have maintained such consistency over an extended period, and Al-Nassr’s run has already established a benchmark that future sides will find difficult to match.

]]> https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/cristiano-ronaldo-is-on-the-verge-of-matching-his-manchester-united-goal-total-at-al-nassr/ Cristiano Ronaldo is on the verge of matching his Manchester United goal total at Al Nassr Sat, 24 Oct 2026 15:57:13 -0400 Cristiano Ronaldo’s career has been defined by milestones, and one more is within reach at Al Nassr. The Portuguese star is closing in on a number that would link two very different chapters of his career: the goals he scored in the Premier League era at Manchester United and his production in Saudi Arabia.

With his latest strike against Al Faisaly, which the Saudi Pro League credited to him in Al Nassr’s 3-1 win, Ronaldo reached 135 goals for Al Nassr in all competitions. At Manchester United, he scored 145 across his two spells, 118 in the first and 27 in the second, leaving him 10 goals shy of matching that tally.

The count comes with a caveat, as several data providers recorded the goal against Al Faisaly as an own goal by defender Andrei Girotto. However, the Saudi Pro League credited the strike to the Portuguese star, which takes his official career tally to 982 goals.

Most of his goals for Al Nassr have come in the Saudi Pro League, where he has scored 107, and he has also found the net in the AFC Champions League, the Arab Club Champions Cup and domestic cups.

Ronaldo’s scoring rate has doubled since leaving Manchester United

The comparison shows how Ronaldo’s scoring rate has changed. Over two spells at Manchester United, he scored 145 goals in 346 appearances, an average of 0.42 goals per game.

At Al Nassr, entering the match against Al Faisaly, he had 134 goals in 159 appearances, roughly double the rate at 0.84 goals per game, while scoring one every 103 minutes compared with one every 183 at United.

Ronaldo has also scored more often from the penalty spot in Saudi Arabia, with 32 of his goals coming from penalties compared with 21 at United, and he has scored 17 headers for Al Nassr compared with 24 for the English club.

]]> https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/cristiano-ronaldo-had-one-trait-kylian-mbappe-approached-differently-claims-former-teammate-ricardo-carvalho/ Cristiano Ronaldo had one trait Kylian Mbappe approached differently, claims former teammate Ricardo Carvalho Sat, 24 Oct 2026 15:35:29 -0400 Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappe have often been compared because of their extraordinary talent, ambition, and desire to dominate at the highest level. However, former Portugal international Ricardo Carvalho, who worked alongside both forwards at different stages of their careers, believes one important difference helps explain how their personalities developed and what drove them towards soccer’s elite.

Speaking about his experiences with the two superstars, Carvalho recalled a conversation with a young Mbappe at Monaco that left a lasting impression on him. The former defender also explained why the similarities between the Frenchman and Ronaldo do not tell the whole story.

Comparisons between the two players remain inevitable because of their shared career path, ambition, goalscoring ability, and status among soccer’s biggest stars. The France captain has frequently been viewed as part of the generation expected to carry the sport forward, while Ronaldo’s career provides a benchmark for sustained individual excellence.

Ricardo Carvalho explains the similarities between Ronaldo and Mbappe

Carvalho, who played alongside Ronaldo at Real Madrid and with Portugal, later witnessed Mbappe’s emergence at Monaco. Having seen both players up close, he believes the French forward displayed exceptional qualities from an early age, including the self-belief required to succeed at the highest level. “Football-wise, it was always clear that he was different. He had that arrogance that is normal for someone who wants to be very good,” Carvalho said in an interview with La Vanguardia.

The former centre-back also revealed that Mbappe looked up to the Portuguese superstar during his formative years. “He loved Cristiano Ronaldo,” Carvalho explained, acknowledging why fans frequently draw comparisons between the two forwards.

Despite those similarities, the former defender believes their approaches to confidence and ambition developed differently. His comments offer a perspective shaped by personal experience rather than comparisons based solely on statistics, trophies or playing styles.

The key difference in their personalities

Carvalho made his distinction clear when discussing how each player approached the self-belief needed to reach the top of the game. “It is normal to see similarities, but it was very different at the beginning. Ronaldo always had this ego. Mbappe molded it,” he explained.

In Carvalho’s assessment, Ronaldo’s ego was already a defining part of his personality, while Mbappe developed and shaped his own confidence with a clear sense of direction. The observation does not suggest that one approach was necessarily better, but rather that the two superstars followed different paths in developing the mentality associated with elite players.

Ronaldo built his reputation on relentless self-belief, demanding standards and an extraordinary drive to improve throughout his career. Mbappe, meanwhile, demonstrated an ability to understand his ambitions early and deliberately shape his development around the goals he wanted to achieve. Carvalho’s strongest example came from a conversation during their time together at Monaco, when the former defender was considering renewing his contract.

The young French forward had already formed a clear picture of how he wanted his career to progress. “He knew perfectly well where he wanted to go. I remember a conversation I had with him at Monaco, when I wanted to renew my contract. He told me he wanted to play there first and then move to a big club. He already knew what he wanted back then,” he recalled.

Sat, 24 Oct 2026 14:28:58 -0400 Cristiano Ronaldo has added another chapter to his remarkable goalscoring career after Al Nassr’s latest Saudi Pro League victory sparked debate over his official tally. The Portuguese superstar continues to chase historic milestones, and his latest achievement has brought renewed attention to a record that has stood for generations.

His goal against Al-Faisaly was also at the center of a dispute between the Saudi league’s official records and international statistics providers. While the controversy raised questions about how goals are credited, the decision has kept Ronaldo’s pursuit of soccer history firmly in the spotlight.

Al-Nassr defeated Al Faisaly 3-1 away from home, with Ronaldo scoring in the 49th minute after connecting with a free-kick delivery from fellow Portuguese international Joao Felix. Abdullah Al-Hamdan had opened the scoring earlier, while Theo Bongonda reduced the deficit before Ângelo Gabriel secured the victory.

Ronaldo appeared to score again shortly after his first goal, but his second effort was ruled out following a VAR review. When asked about the situation, the forward reportedly responded humorously: “Only one counted.” The debate continued because several international statistics platforms reportedly attributed the 49th-minute strike to an own goal by rival defender Andrei Girotto.

However, the match referee, Abdullah Al Owaidan, credited Ronaldo with the goal in his official report, a decision reflected in the Saudi Pro League’s records. Saudi media have confirmed that the final decision on goal attribution rests with the Referees Committee of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation. The league relies on the referee’s official report rather than automatically adopting the figures published by independent statistics providers.

Ronaldo’s latest goal takes him to 982 career strikes

With the Saudi Pro League recognizing the goal, Ronaldo’s official career tally stands at 982 goals for club and country. The achievement moves the Al Nassr forward closer to another landmark as he continues his pursuit of 1,000 career goals.

The discrepancy highlights how different organizations can record the same incident differently. Although independent data providers may maintain their own assessments, the Saudi competition has backed the referee’s attribution in this case.

For Ronaldo, the distinction matters because every officially credited goal contributes to his personal record. His latest strike therefore carries significance beyond Al Nassr’s three points, adding another milestone to a career already filled with individual achievements.

How close is Ronaldo to Jimmy McGrory’s headed-goal record?

Ronaldo’s latest header has also brought attention to a separate historical achievement: the record for the most headed goals in soccer history. According to Wikipedia‘s historical compilation, citing the International Football Association Board (IFAB)‘s metrics, Celtic legend Jimmy McGrory leads the list with 162 headed goals, while Ronaldo has reached 159.

That leaves the Portuguese forward three headed goals short of McGrory’s reported total, following his strike against Al Faisaly. Based on the cited tally, Ronaldo needs three more headed goals to equal McGrory’s 162 and four to surpass him outright.

McGrory established his reputation as a prolific goalscorer during his Celtic career between 1921 and 1937. However, historical goal records from that era are difficult to standardize because complete match records and consistent statistical methods were not always available.

A remarkable season, a World Cup that reshaped the conversation, and fresh rankings have added another twist to the debate, leaving fans wondering whether established favorites or younger superstars will take home soccer’s most prestigious individual award.

With the ceremony scheduled for Monday, October 26, in London, the latest assessments have intensified the spotlight on the leading candidates. One striker, in particular, has strengthened his case through prolific scoring and international success, while Yamal and Mbappe continue to make their own arguments.

Yamal has enjoyed another impressive year with Barcelona, helping the club win La Liga and the Spanish Super Cup before contributing to Spain’s World Cup triumph. The 19-year-old recorded 24 goals and 18 assists across all competitions during the campaign, including eight goals in the Champions League. His achievements place him among the leading candidates for the main award, following consecutive Kopa Trophy victories in 2024 and 2025.

The Spanish teenager finished second in the 2025 Ballon d’Or voting, making another strong result a realistic possibility. Mbappe, meanwhile, delivered an extraordinary individual campaign despite Real Madrid failing to collect major silverware. He scored 42 goals in 44 appearances for the Spanish club and claimed the World Cup Golden Boot with 10 goals, becoming the tournament’s all-time leading scorer according to the supplied reports.

France did not reach the final, losing to Spain in the semifinals, before falling to England in the third-place match. Nevertheless, the 26-year-old’s scoring numbers have kept him firmly in the conversation.

Harry Kane strengthens Ballon d’Or case

Despite the duo’s impressive numbers, Harry Kane has emerged as a serious contender after an outstanding campaign for Bayern Munich and England. The striker’s scoring record, Bundesliga performances and contribution to England’s third-place finish at the 2026 World Cup have helped elevate his standing ahead of the ceremony.

Kane reportedly scored 61 goals in 51 appearances for Bayern during the 2025–26 season, helping the German club win the Bundesliga. He also scored five times at the World Cup, where England secured its best finish since winning the tournament in 1966.

However, speculation about the winner remains unconfirmed. Kane himself has acknowledged the difficulty of waiting for the announcement, explaining that the decision is beyond his control. “From my point of view, of course, I’d love to know to just kind of see and not have to wait throughout the whole night. But it is their decision, I can’t control that. We’ll have to just enjoy it and try not to stress out too much,” the 33-year-old striker said.

The latest odds reveal a change in the race

Oddschecker prices put Harry Kane ahead, giving the England captain a significant advantage in the latest assessment. However, the news is that Mbappe has risen to the position of second favorite, dealing a heavy blow to Yamal. The latest published odds list Kane at 3/10, Mbappe at 3/1 and Yamal at 5/1, with Lionel Messi at 40/1 and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia at 100/1.

Other reported prices differ considerably between bookmakers, underlining that these figures are estimates rather than confirmation of the eventual winner. PokerStars’ quoted odds also favour Kane, with Yamal second and Mbappe further back.

A separate ranking published by Spanish newspaper Marca, compiled with contributions from more than 200 former players, journalists and analysts, placed Kane first, Yamal second and Mbappe third among its top 100 players of the 2025-26 season. Rodri and Kvaratskhelia completed the top five.

]]> https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/cristiano-ronaldo-offers-cheeky-response-amid-confusion-over-his-latest-982nd-career-goal/ Cristiano Ronaldo offers cheeky response amid confusion over his latest 982nd career goal Sat, 24 Oct 2026 13:08:57 -0400 The eternal quest for 1,000 goals has encountered a storm of controversy under the desert lights. As Al-Nassr secured a triumphant conquest, Cristiano Ronaldo‘s joyous celebration of his 982nd career strike was quickly met with whispers of doubt. A fateful deflection off a defender’s challenge ignited a fierce debate over the true author of the goal, forcing the Saudi Pro League to intervene.

Al-Nassr claimed a 3-1 win over Al-Faisaly at Al Majma’ah Sports City Stadium, strengthening its position in the Saudi Pro League standings. Abdullah Al-Hamdan opened the scoring in the fourth minute before Ronaldo doubled the advantage shortly after half-time.

Al-Faisaly responded through Theo Bongonda in the 66th minute, but Ângelo Gabriel restored Al-Nassr’s two-goal cushion with a strike in the 79th minute. Ronaldo also appeared to score again shortly after his first goal, although his effort in the 52nd minute was disallowed following a VAR review, leaving him with one goal officially credited during the match.

The controversy centered on Ronaldo’s 49th-minute strike, which several international statistics providers reportedly recorded as an own goal by Al-Faisaly defender Andrei Girotto. Platforms including Opta, SofaScore, FotMob and Flashscore initially differed from the Saudi league’s reported attribution, creating uncertainty over whether the Portuguese forward would receive credit.

The distinction matters because Ronaldo’s career tally now stands at 982 goals according to the Saudi Pro League’s official record, leaving him 18 short of the widely anticipated 1,000-goal milestone. With every goal closely tracked by supporters, even a disputed deflection has become significant in the debate surrounding his historic pursuit.

Ronaldo delivers cheeky response

When asked about whether he had scored twice, Ronaldo responded with a short remark that appeared to acknowledge the controversy surrounding the match. “Only one counted,” the forward said, offering a lighthearted response to the confusion over his goals.

The comment reflected the difference between celebrating an apparent second strike and having it officially recognized. Although Ronaldo found the net again during the match, VAR ruled the effort out, meaning it could not be added to his career total.

Why the Saudi league’s decision matters

According to reports shared by Saudi sports journalists, referee Abdullah Al Owaidan credited Ronaldo with Al-Nassr’s second goal in his official match report. The Saudi Pro League reportedly follows the referee’s documentation for goal attribution, with the Referees Committee of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation holding responsibility for reviewing disputed decisions.

Al-Riyadhiah further explained that the league does not simply adopt goal tallies published by international data providers such as Opta. Instead, the referee’s report serves as the official record, and any discrepancies can be referred to the committee for review and possible correction.

The league’s reported decision therefore supports Ronaldo’s 982-goal tally, even though some independent platforms have classified the strike differently. Whether those providers will eventually amend their records remains unclear.

As Ruben Amorim leads his battered squad toward a daunting clash, a severe selection crisis threatens their ambitions. With three vital warriors fallen and the ranks severely depleted, complete mystery shrouds the tactical fate of Christian Pulisic.

Milan travels to the Bluenergy Stadium on Sunday, October 25, hoping to respond after a 3-0 Europa League defeat to Bournemouth. Its opponent is also under pressure, having suffered five consecutive league defeats and fallen towards the relegation zone.

The Rossoneri’s European setback followed a difficult evening in England, where an early red card for goalkeeper Mike Maignan contributed to the 3-0 loss. The result interrupted the Rossoneri’s momentum, although their domestic campaign has been considerably more encouraging under Amorim.

Milan has collected 15 points from its opening seven Serie A matches, recording four wins and three draws without losing. A victory against Udinese would strengthen their position among the leading sides and provide a timely boost before a demanding run of fixtures.

The visitors can also draw confidence from their recent away record, having lost only three league matches on the road since the beginning of last season. However, three consecutive Serie A away draws show that the San Siro outfit must find a way to turn solid performances into victories.

Three major absences complicate Amorim’s plans

Milan has confirmed that Mario Gila, Adrien Rabiot and Diego Moreira will miss the trip to Udinese because of physical problems. Gila is dealing with inflammation in his left ankle following overload, while Rabiot has fatigue in his right calf and Moreira has a similar issue affecting his left hamstring.

Their absence adds to an already stretched squad, with Matteo Gabbia, Alexis Saelemaekers and Samuel Chukwueze also unavailable. The growing list of injuries leaves Amorim with fewer options as the team prepares for a busy schedule that includes a midweek meeting with Bologna and the upcoming derby against Inter.

There is some positive news regarding Gonçalo Ramos, who has returned to training after dealing with a calf problem. The Portuguese striker is expected to lead the attack, giving Milan a familiar focal point despite the disruption elsewhere in the squad.

Will Pulisic start against Udinese?

Despite the selection problems, Pulisic is expected to return to Milan’s starting lineup, providing an important attacking option as the club looks to rediscover its rhythm. The American is projected to operate alongside Ramos and Omari Hutchinson in a front three, with the lineup offering a blend of movement, creativity and finishing ability.

According to MilanNews and Sky Italia, Amorim could use a 4-3-3 formation, with Pulisic occupying a position on the left side of the attack. The expected starting XI is Maignan in goal; Tomori, De Winter, Pavlović and Bartesaghi in defence; Musah, Modric and Loftus-Cheek in midfield; and Hutchinson, Ramos and Pulisic up front.

Pulisic’s inclusion would give Amorim another established attacking presence as Milan looks to respond after its European disappointment. With Rabiot and Moreira unavailable, the forward line could carry additional responsibility for creating chances and securing the three points.

Ahead of the match on Sunday, the Portuguese coach faced the press and addressed several of the main storylines surrounding the game, including one of Barcelona’s biggest stars.

Asked about Lamine Yamal, Mourinho made it clear that Real Madrid will not tailor their approach to the young winger. “He’s a great player, and great players are respected,” he said. “One thing is respecting, another is changing plans, changing structures, forgetting your own essence. We won’t do that with him or with any other super-quality opponent we play, not just in this match, but in many matches“.

The former Chelsea and Inter Milan manager kept a conciliatory tone toward his rivals throughout the news conference. He said he could not find a single player who isn’t very good at either Real Madrid or Barcelona, and he praised Hansi Flick, calling the German coach “a great coach” who is “doing an excellent job.”

Barcelona arrive at El Clasico as clear LaLiga leaders, with a perfect record of nine wins from nine matches and 27 points. The defending champions had won their first 11 games across all competitions, a run that ended with a 4-2 defeat at PSG in the Champions League in their latest fixture.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, sit third with 21 points after winning seven league games and losing two, and they arrive on the back of 4-1 wins over Sevilla in LaLiga and Leipzig in the Champions League.

Kounde and Vinicius ruled out of El Clasico

Barcelona will be without Jules Kounde, who suffered a sprained left ankle in last weekend’s win over Real Betis and also missed the Champions League defeat at PSG.

The club had hoped to have the French defender back for the Clasico, but Hansi Flick confirmed that it will not happen. “Jules won’t be there tomorrow, we don’t want to risk him, he isn’t arriving at the right moment, but we have to accept it,” the German coach said.

Real Madrid will also have to cope without a key attacker, as Vinicius Junior is serving a four-game ban after his red card against Villarreal for pulling an opponent’s hair.

The Spanish federation’s disciplinary committee gave him two games for the offense and two more for his protests to the referee. The suspension has already kept him out of the win over Sevilla and will also rule him out of the matches against Racing Santander and Valencia.

Chelsea come into this one on the back of a 2-0 win over Everton on October 17 and a 5-1 thrashing of Bournemouth on October 10, a result that showed their attack can click in bursts. Before that run they were beaten 0-3 by Brentford on September 18, a reminder that their defense can still be exposed. A win here would give Xabi Alonso’s side consecutive clean sheets and a share of early momentum in the capital.
Tottenham arrive having beaten Coventry 3-1 on October 19 and drawn 1-1 with Man United on October 10, results that suggest they are finding some consistency after a rough patch. That patch included a 2-3 loss to Aston Villa on September 19, a game that exposed gaps at the back. Three points at Stamford Bridge would move Tottenham further clear of that early-season dip and put real pressure on Chelsea in the table.

Chelsea confirmed lineup

Chelsea line up in a 3-4-2-1 under Xabi Alonso, with Mike Penders in goal behind a back three of Josh-Ko Acheampong, Maxence Lacroix and Levi Colwill. Jorrel Hato and Jordan Henderson provide width and experience either side of Moisés Caicedo in midfield, while Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers operate just behind João Pedro, with Pedro Neto offering an extra attacking outlet. The shape leans on Palmer and Rogers to create chances for João Pedro, but Chelsea will have to manage without Reece James, Emiliano Martínez, Emmanuel Emegha, Pep Chavarría and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, all of whom are out.

Tottenham confirmed lineup

Tottenham set up in a 4-2-3-1 under Roberto De Zerbi, with Antonín Kinský behind a back four of Archie Gray, Jan-Paul van Hecke, Micky van de Ven and Andy Robertson. Sandro Tonali and Conor Gallagher sit in a double pivot in front of the defense, screening for a front line of Mohammed Kudus, Mateus Fernandes and Omar Marmoush, who support lone striker Dominic Solanke.
