  5. 😛 Inter Milan star Francesco Acerbi tells PSG fan 'I'll beat the shit out of you' after Champions League jibe https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/inter-milan-psg-francesco-acerbi-35431625?int_source=breaking-news Francesco Acerbi threatened to 'beat the shit' out of a Paris Saint-Germain fan who goaded the Inter Milan star about the teams' Champions League final clash. Acerbi's Inter were hammered 5-0 by PSG in Munich on June 1 and now both teams are competing at the Club World Cup in the United States. During the closing stages of the one-sided final, 37-year-old Acerbi was embarrassed by PSG forward Bradley Barcola, whose fancy footwork left the Italian defender dazzled. The moment was widely shared on social media and one fan in Seattle took his torment a step further. During a meet-and-greet event, the fan - who was wearing a PSG shirt - reminded Acerbi of the humiliating moment. The ex-Lazio defender sought the help of a translator, who sternly told the fan in English: "You must be serious with him." Just a few seconds later, Acerbi made his feelings clear. Fuming in Italian, he said: "I'm serious. Don't make fun of me - I don't like it. I'm crazy, I'll beat the shit out of you." Acerbi quickly moved on, posing for photos with more respecting fans. It's not the first time the veteran centre-back has been embroiled in controversy this month. READ MORE: Ex-Premier League boss told 'fuck you' in furious Club World Cup spat with own player Despite Italy playing two crucial World Cup qualifiers earlier this month, Acerbi turned down a call-up for his national team. He accused manager Luciano Spalletti, who's since been sacked, of disrespecting him. Acerbi posted on social media: "It's not a decision I have taken lightly. However, I believe that in light of recent events the conditions aren't there today for me to go forward with serenity. "I demand respect. If that respect is lacking from those who should lead the group, I prefer to step aside. I won't stay where I'm no longer truly wanted and it's clear I'm not part of the coach's project." Acerbi's focus shifted to helping Inter against Japanese side Urawa Reds in their second match of the Club World Cup on Saturday. He'll also be looking to impress new manager Cristian Chivu. Ex-Inter defender Chivu has taken over from Simone Inzaghi, who left San Siro for the riches of Saudi Arabian heavyweights Al-Hilal shortly after the Champions League final. Former team-mate Javier Zanetti, who's now the vice-president of Inter, commented: "The Champions League final marked the end of a chapter, and now a new one begins. "That's football - constant perseverance, belief in hard work and a project. And we're on that path now. We have great confidence in what Cristian Chivu can bring. I know him personally - we were team-mates - and I can say he's a wonderful person. We know he'll do a great job here. This Club World Cup is a great test for all of us."

  7. Rodrygo Goes Fails to Convince Xabi Alonso and His Future at Real Madrid Is Uncertain Rodrygo Goes future at Real Madrid is increasingly in doubt. His performance has significantly declined, just as other players are stepping up and making their case for a starting role. His cold demeanor, apparent lack of character, and a seemingly complacent attitude don’t align with the competitive DNA of Los Blancos. While his technical quality is undeniable, his inconsistency and tendency to disappear during key moments have raised concerns among fans and the coaching staff alike. https://www.beinsports.com/en-us/soccer/fifa-club-world-cup/articles-video/rodrygo-goes-fails-to-convince-xabi-alonso-and-his-future-at-real-madrid-is-uncertain-2025-06-20 A Disappointing Display in Xabi Alonso Debut Rodrygo hadn’t played a single minute since April 26. He returned to action against Al Hilal in the Club World Cup, in what was Xabi Alonso debut as Real Madrid manager, but delivered another lackluster performance. While he had been untouchable under Ancelotti, Xabi is evaluating players based strictly on their contribution to the team. Apart from a brilliant through ball that led to Gonzalo opening goal, Rodrygo offered very little on the pitch. The Fans Are Turning Their Backs Madridistas are growing weary of Rodrygo. His public comments about potentially leaving the club, along with meetings between his father and other teams including Manchester City have not gone over well at the Bernabéu. According to AS, Arsenal have been in contact with Rodrygo camp for some time. Other media reports suggest the Gunners are preparing an official offer. Madrid Won’t Block an Exit, But the Price Must Be Right Real Madrid still counts on Rodrygo, who is under contract until 2028. However, like any player, if he requests a transfer, the club won’t stand in his way as long as the offer meets their expectations. The rumored $80 million bid from Arsenal would not suffice. Madrid will not sell for less than $115 million, especially considering his $1 billion release clause. Still, his market value has dropped following a dip in form. Fierce Competition on the Right Wing Rodrygo situation is further complicated by increasing competition. In August, Xabi Alonso will welcome the arrival of Argentine talent Franco Mastantuono, who will bolster the right wing. “Time will tell, but Franco can definitely start or come off the bench. The plan is for him to be a starter,” said the Madrid boss. On top of that, Arda Güler continues to develop and is being loudly backed by fans who demand his place in the starting eleven a role that directly overlaps with Rodrygo.
