Paris Saint-Germain have etched their name into football history. The French giants secured a second consecutive Champions League title on Saturday in Budapest, edging Arsenal in a dramatic final decided by penalties (1-1 after extra time, 4-3 on penalties).
This Sunday, we take a deep dive into PSG’s latest European triumph. From the key moments of the match to the contrasting emotions on both sides, it was a night of jubilation for the Parisians and heartbreak for the Gunners. Luis Enrique’s men continue to build a remarkable legacy, while Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, fresh off their Premier League title, fell agonisingly short of a historic double.
Elsewhere in the sports world, Liverpool and Arne Slot have parted ways. Despite leading the Reds to the Premier League crown this season, the Dutch manager has paid the price for a disappointing second campaign, both on and off the pitch.
Brazil will head to the World Cup with Neymar. Carlo Ancelotti has made it official: despite his injury, the former PSG star will be part of the Seleção squad for the tournament. However, his fitness remains a concern and could rule him out of Brazil’s opening match.
At Roland-Garros, another emotional day unfolded in Paris. The dream is over for 17-year-old French sensation Moïse Kouamé, who was beaten by Alejandro Tabilo after another epic 3-hour, 40-minute battle in his maiden Grand Slam appearance.
In the women’s draw, defending champion Coco Gauff suffered a shock defeat to Anastasia Potapova, while world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka lived up to expectations with a convincing win over Daria Kasatkina.
The performance of the day, however, belonged to Diane Parry. The last French player standing at Roland-Garros stunned world No. 6 Amanda Anisimova to book her place in the fourth round.
And finally, Jonas Vingegaard is on the verge of a maiden Giro d’Italia title. The Dane claimed his fifth stage victory of the race on Saturday and, barring disaster, is set to ride into Rome on Sunday as the overall winner.
