The match saw goals from Premier League talents Estevao, Lucas Paqueta, and Bruno Guimaraes, with Estevao making headlines for his stunning bicycle kick. ..Continue Reading

According to Goal, the strike etched his name into Brazilian football history, making him the second-youngest player to score a competitive goal for the national team before turning 19, following Diego’s goal against Honduras in 2003.

However, the celebratory mood was briefly interrupted when Casemiro, frustrated after missing a scoring opportunity, reacted sharply to Estevao’s attempt to console him.

The young forward, formerly of Palmeiras, quickly apologized, but the moment didn’t go unnoticed.

Once footage of the incident surfaced on X, fans criticized Casemiro for his response, arguing that he had overreacted to a teenager simply trying to lift his spirits.

Some even suggested that the veteran midfielder allowed club tensions to spill into the national team environment.

@sportsdokitor said: “Now that’s the difference between him and someone like Thiago Silva, because why would you do that to an 18-year-old?”

@atommadeit wrote: “This is what happens when you play for Man Utd, you become neglected and disrespected as you are now a loser with nothing to show for. Estevao feels like a winner already playing for Chelsea and definitely sees Casemiro as a bum. can’t blame him.”

@TheCapableAY wrote: “I see many people laughing in the comments. This is not funny, Casemiro is a bad guy. You will never see Thiago Silva do something like this. If you are too old, then you leave the national team.”

@potam1304 wrote: “He thought Casemiro was like Uncle Tosin and Chalobah. Estevao quickly apologised with a smile. Our boy doesn’t want any trouble ????”

Brazil national team head coach Carlo Ancelotti praised the Chelsea youngster before the game, hailed him as one of the best talents in football and compared him to Vinicius Jr.

“Yes. I think modern football has lost a bit of that type of player, who plays inside, as a midfielder. Football has more wingers, strong, fast, that type of player,” he said as quoted by Ge Globo.

“Estevao has a lot of quality and can also play inside. As we’re seeing in training. Raphinha, Vinicius, [Gabriel] Martinelli, they also play very well inside. That’s what modern football demands.”

‘Furious’ Luis Enrique grabs Joao Pedro by the throat after Club World Cup final defeat

[ad_1]

Despite entering Sunday’s clash at MetLife Stadium as the underdogs, Chelsea surprised the Champions League victors with an exceptional first-half showing. ..Continue Reading

Cole Palmer struck twice within eight minutes, and Chelsea’s recent recruit Pedro added a third goal just before the interval.

After halftime, Chelsea expertly shut down PSG’s attempts at a comeback, earning praise from ex-Premier League winger Andros Townsend who dubbed Maresca’s approach a “tactical masterclass.”

With frustration mounting, PSG players’ emotions spilled over as the match began slipping from their grasp.

Joao Neves was dismissed for tugging Marc Cucurella’s hair, and other PSG players flirted with potential ejections due to reckless tackles.

Tensions didn’t cool after full time, as Pedro—just two weeks into his Chelsea stint—clashed with PSG keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Luis Enrique became part of the fray and appeared to hit Pedro, causing Chelsea’s £60 million signing to hit the turf.

The scuffle intensified, prompting one of Enrique’s staff to restrain him, while Maresca pulled his players out of the heated scene.

PSG entered the final as overwhelming favourites, having lifted their first Champions League trophy the previous season.

Chelsea, meanwhile, had competed in—and won—the Europa Conference League, marking another milestone in their resurgence.

‘It’s a great feeling,’ Palmer said after Chelsea’s Club World Cup victory. ‘Even better because everyone doubted us before the game, we knew that.

‘The gaffer put a great gameplan out. He knew where the space was going to be. He tried to free me up as much as possible and I just had to repay him and score some goals.

‘[Maresca] is building something special, something important. Everyone has talked a lot of s*** about us all season but I feel like we are going in the right direction.’

Maresca, meanwhile, said: ‘I have no words for the players. They all deserve this and it’s a good moment.

‘For me, we won the game in the first 10 minutes. We set the tempo and we were very good at pressing them. The conditions made it hard to keep going but the boys did well.

‘I am very excited [about the future] but I’m more excited that we have three weeks off.’

Lionel Messi in furious argument with ref after Inter Miami game & had to be ‘restrained’ by coaching staff

[ad_1]

Lionel Messi experienced one of the most heated moments of his career following Inter Miami’s dramatic 3-3 draw against San Jose Earthquakes in the MLS.

Playing away at PayPal Park on Wednesday night, the Herons saw Maximiliano Falcon strike in the opening minute, while Tadeo Allende netted twice to put them ahead.

Despite the intense contest, Miami dropped more points and now sit fifth in the table, having also suffered a 4-1 loss to Minnesota over the weekend. ..Continue Reading

Messi, visibly frustrated, couldn’t hide his disappointment at full-time and confronted referee Joe Dickerson.

The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner was particularly angered by the referee’s decision not to award him a free-kick just outside the box, leading to a tense exchange after the match.

Unmoved by Messi’s complaints, Dickerson swiftly issued him a yellow card.

But the Barcelona legend was still not happy and went back to the official for more remonstrating. An animated Messi ran the risk of being shown an almost unprecedented red card, with Dickerson telling him, “Do you want me to send you off? Walk away!”.

But he had to be held back by members of the San Jose Earthquakes coaching staff, with Earthquakes boss Bruce Arena taking a step in order to stop Messi being sent off.

Speaking after the match in a press conference, Arena said: “As you know, there’s a universal language when you’re talking about referees. He was obviously not happy.

“And I really wanted to make sure he wasn’t going to get a red card, and that’s why I just tried to move him out of the way. Because for him to get a red card at the end of the game would have been ridiculous. So I just wanted to make sure we get him out of there and he’s ready to play the next game for Miami.”

Inter boss Javier Mascherano, who played with Messi for Barcelona and Argentina, didn’t offer much response to the heated situation and said he had “no idea” what was said.

Without Luis Suarez for the past two matches due to personal reasons, Inter return to action on Sunday when they host Orlando City at the Chase Stadium.
