The stage for the 2023 UEFA Champions League final is set. The Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul will play host to a battle between two European giants, Inter Milan and Manchester City. The Nerazzurri clinched their spot in the UCL final for the first time since its historic 2010 triumph with a win over their noisy neighbors. Meanwhile, the Citizens are back under the bright lights for the second time in the last three seasons, and seeking revenge for their 2021 defeat to Chelsea. How do oddsmakers see the biggest game in club football playing out? Pep Guardiola’s Man City squad is the runaway favorite, according to Caesars Sportsbook. The Citizens have heavily juiced -550 odds to lift the trophy (-255 to win it inside 90 minutes). This means there is serious value on the Nerazzurri. Simone Inzaghi’s side has +375 odds to pull off the upset with astonishing +625 odds to do it in normal time. It’s no secret that Man City is the better team on paper. The Citizens lifted the Premier Lea...

Pilar Rubio has slammed those who do not acknowledge her accomplishments and label her just as PSG ace Sergio Ramos’ wife. The 45-year-old has claimed that she has had a decorated career, which speaks for itself. In an interview in April, she told MARCA: “The people who label me like that ... someone who is very clueless. In the end, I have been working for 27 years. Yes, I am Ramos' wife, and he is my husband, but that's it. It doesn't mean they belittle you.“I'm a hard worker. I've been working in this field all my life, and I'm still doing it. I haven't stopped working, and I have no intention of doing so.” Pilar has been working as a collaborator on the Spanish show “El Hormiguero" since 2014. She has also presented renowned shows like “¡Más que baile!”, “Operación Triunfo,” “XXS”, “Todo el mundo es bueno” and her claim-to-fame, “Sé lo que hicisteis”. Paris Saint-Germain still has not yet made a final decision regarding Sergio Ramos’ future at the c...

Paris St Germain took a decisive step towards a record 11th Ligue 1 title as Kylian Mbappe struck twice in a 2-1 win at relegation-threatened AJ Auxerre on Sunday. Mbappe's double in the opening eight minutes moved PSG onto 84 points with two games left, six ahead of second-placed RC Lens with a much better goal difference (+50 to +34). Christophe Galtier's side need to avoid defeat at Racing Strasbourg next Saturday to wrap up the title. AJ Auxerre, who are in 16th place on 34 points, one point above the relegation zone, travel to Toulouse in the penultimate round of matches. "We relaxed a little after the two goals but in the end we have one hand on the trophy," said captain Marquinhos, who like most of the team was far from impressive. "We've done a lot this season but we knew that if we had dropped points things could have become complicated. We're not going to celebrate the title tonight, but we will celebrate the win." Mbappe broke the deadlock...

Paris Saint-Germain all but secured the Ligue 1 title on Sunday as a Kylian Mbappe brace gave them a 2-1 win away to Auxerre that left the Qatar-owned club six points clear at the top of the table with two games remaining. PSG had hoped to officially confirm a second straight championship triumph, and a ninth in the last 11 seasons, but they needed closest rivals Lens to slip up earlier in the day. Lens won 3-1 at Lorient, and so PSG still require one point from their final two matches to secure a French record 11th title overall. However, a goal difference advantage of 16 over Lens means they are almost certain to win the title even if they end the season level on points with their closest rivals. PSG, whose final two matches are away at Strasbourg and at home to Clermont, will move ahead of Saint-Etienne's previous record of 10 titles which they equalled last year. Mbappe's goals both came in the first eight minutes in Burgundy as he moved on to 28 for the season, two ahead o...

Paris Saint-Germain sporting advisor Luis Campos looks to improve the capital club’s defense this summer transfer window. However, the Portuguese might have to cross Min-jae Kim off his target list.  Il Mattino recently reported that Manchester United and the Korean international have agreed to terms on a contract. Furthermore, the Red Devils will pay the €60 million asking price Napoli wants for the defender.  If the reporting is accurate, the French giants must look elsewhere to add another central defender.  Campos already has Milan Škriniar coming and with the possible departure of Sergio Ramos and the injury to Presnel Kimpembe, PSG is keen on adding another center-back.  Nonetheless, suppose Campos and Co. decide to offload manager Christophe Galtier. In that case, they might wait for who replaces the French tactician before adding a central defender to see his preferred targets.  The 2022-23 season is ending, and with the summer transfer window opening in...

Sebastien Haller continued his superb run of form in Borussia Dortmund's 3-0 win at Augsburg on Matchday 33, netting twice to tee up a chance for a sensational title win should they beat Mainz on Saturday. Cometh the hour, cometh the man, goes the saying. While it would be wrong to single out any individual Dortmund player as the star of their title charge, few could begrudge Haller being a focus of attention if they lift the Meisterschale for the first time since 2012 with a win against Mainz on Matchday 34. He has certainly saved his most significant contribution since his recovery from cancer to right when it was needed most. His two goals against Augsburg were Haller's second brace in consecutive matches and set his side up to overtake Bayern Munich on the final bend of the title race with a comprehensive 3-0 win. Haller's opening goal was particularly significant, as he raced onto a botched clearance from Donyell Malen's cross to angle in a tidy low finish. He show...

Bayern Munich must win in Cologne and hope Borussia Dortmund slip up against Mainz if they're to retain the Bundesliga title when a dramatic 2022/23 season reaches its conclusion on Saturday (kick-off: 3.30pm CEST). Although mid-table Cologne have nothing concrete to play for and will be bidding club legend Jonas Hector and long-serving goalkeeper Timo Horn farewell, head coach Steffen Baumgart has already said there'll be "no room" for complacency or sentimentality. Hector would be guaranteed to captain the side regardless, as he prepares to bring the curtain down on a 13-year stint at the club, but Horn has long fallen behind Marvin Schwäbe in the pecking order and, as Baumgart confirmed, would only play a part if the title is no longer on the line.  There will be at least one enforced change to the team that drew 1-1 at Werder Bremen on the penultimate weekend, though. Steffen Tigges has been ruled out after opening the scoring and then going off injured in that ga...

HARRY KANE and Neymar are among the star-studded list of Newcastle's transfer targets, according to reports. The Magpies are back in the Champions League for the first time in 20 years and can now look forward to an exciting summer of transfer recruitment. The club's ultra-rich owners means the sky is the limit in the search for top quality talent, And Newcastle will not be shy on who they look to tempt to St James' Park if reports from AS are anything to go by. The Spanish outlet claim that Eddie Howe's side are ready to rival huge clubs in the fight for Europe's biggest stars and build a "Galacticos" side in the model of Real Madrid in the early 2000s. Kane is thought to top the list of targets - despite his strong links to Manchester United. The striker has just over a year left on his contract and could finally leave Tottenham this summer.

Napoli sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli has reportedly agreed to the terms of a five-year contract with Juventus. The 51-year-old Italian director arrived in the Campania capital back in 2015 and has played a crucial role in the club’s rise to the top of Serie A, bringing in stars like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Victor Osimhen and Kim Min-Jae. After helping Napoli break a 33-year wait for the Scudetto, Giuntoli is now ready to take on his next adventure and seems destined to head to Turin. Juventus need to appoint a new sporting director to kick start the next era at the club and the 51-year-old is reportedly their top choice. As detailed by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Giuntoli has verbally agreed to a five-year contract with Juventus worth around €1.5m net per season. Although terms have been agreed, the director is not able to move to Turin just yet. Giuntoli still has a year left on his contract with Napoli and president Aurelio De Laurentiis does not want to lose him for nothing, so i...

The Napoli supremo has guided the club from Serie A outcasts to Champions League regulars and is now reportedly receiving interest from Tottenham Hotspur, Cristiano Giuntoli has been billed as the unsung hero for Napoli’s resurgence to the summit of Italian football. Last week, Gli Azzurri were confirmed as Serie A champions for the first time since 1990 - sparking wild scenes across the city. But for Giuntoli, this was the completion of a task eight years in the making. The 51-year-old arrived at Napoli in 2015, helping the club transform from nearly men to title winners. Now, reports on the continent are linking him with a Tottenham Hotspur move. Daniel Levy is on the hunt for a new sporting director after Fabio Paratici’s resignation last month. Appointing Giuntoli would be regarded as a coup considering Napoli’s meteoric rise - and shrewd transfer dealings - in recent years. Here football.london profile some of the Italian’s best signings at the Naples outfit, some of whom may be t...

Jose Mourinho has criticised the decision to deduct Juventus 10 points with just two games of the 2022-23 Serie A season remaining and suggested the way his Roma side approached matches would have changed had the verdict been delivered earlier. Juventus were docked 10 points by the FIGC’s Federal Court of Appeal on Monday in the latest progression in their case regarding past transfer dealings. The club, who have denied any wrongdoing, were accused of fixing their balance sheets by inflating transfer fees. Juventus had initially been deducted 15 points in January before being re-awarded them in April by the Board of Guarantors of the Italian Olympic Committee. The points deduction sees Juventus drop from second to seventh in Serie A and means sixth-placed Roma still have an outside chance of qualifying for the Champions League. But Mourinho told DAZN: “It’s a joke to know this with two games remaining. For us and everyone, even for Juventus. “Our approach would have been different if w...

Roma head coach Jose Mourinho was asked about his working relationship with General Manager Tiago Pinto. While discussing Roma’s ambitions for next season as they try to make it desperately in the top four race in Serie A, Mourinho was asked about differences in vision with Tiago Pinto. “We’re very good friends with Tiago, so it’s only natural for us to have different views,” Mourinho told reporters in his post-match presser earlier today. “We can make history together and we want to continue making it, but with a transfer budget of €7 million you need a miracle to qualify for Champions League.” Roma head coach Jose Mourinho was asked about his working relationship with General Manager Tiago Pinto.

If you’ve been looking to get a new gaming headset, or your very first, Logitech has a few new options. The company is today updating its Pro gaming headset with a few notable changes that not only makes it a better gaming headset, but potentially a great set of all-purpose headphones. First and foremost, the new Pro X 2 headset features a new 50mm Pro-G Graphene audio driver. Why is that important? Graphene drivers are typically more power efficient, which is likely why Logitech claims the new headset nets up to 50 hours on a single charge. That’s over twice the battery life compared to the outgoing model’s 20 hours. The headset is more versatile as well. In addition to Logitech’s own proprietary Lightspeed wireless codec, the Pro X 2 now supports Bluetooth audio and a wired connection over the standard 3.5mm audio connector (previously, you had to choose whether you wanted a wired or wireless headset, not both). The headset also now supports the standard DTS headphone:X 2.0 spec, for...

There was a bit of an evolution after I got involved. Aimes is the Agency, and that represents a kind of old school law and order. When I came in, he was very buttoned up. They wanted him wearing suits and ties and looking and dressing like a politician. I felt like this is such a good opportunity to depart from those expectations, so I fought really hard to design a character that was more of a cosplay of who these guys could be. I wanted him to look more like a video game character than an old politician. It just felt like the right time to bring a new world order to this thing and shape who he was to this world in a more modern way. It was all so precarious starting out. When I finally get my feet on the ground in London and I start going, "I ain't wearing a suit and tie for this, I can tell you that much," and they're like, "I'm sorry, who are you? Just do what you're told. We've been doing this for a long time, we know what we're doing."...
