حقق ريال مدريد رابع انتصاراته على التوالي، بالفوز ضد ريال سوسيداد بهدفين لهدف واحد على ملعب أنويتا، في الدوري الإسباني لكرة القدم.
وأكمل ريال مدريد المباراة منقوصاً بعشر لاعبين، بعد طرد دين هويسن من منتصف الشوط الأول في لقطة مثيرة للجدل.
وسجل لريال مدريد كيليان مبابي وأردا جولر في الدقيقتين 12 و44، وقلص ميكيل أورايزبال الفارق من ركلة جزاء في الدقيقة 56.
ونشرت صحيفة “موندو ديبورتيفو” الإسبانية أن الحرب قد اشتدت بين ريال مدريد والحكام بعد أن ساد الهدوء في أول جولتين، حيث هاجم بطل أوروبا التاريخي الحكام الإسبان بكل قوته.

ويدير ريال مدريد عبر قناته التلفزيونية هذه الحملة منذ أسابيع، والآن بعد مباراة ريال سوسيداد، عاد النادي ليهاجم الحكام بكل قوته.
وانتقدت قناة ريال مدريد التلفزيونية بشدة حكم مباراة ريال سوسيداد ووصفت القرارات التحكيمية التي تعرض لها الفريق ضد الفريق الباسكي في أنويتا ب”الفضيحة”.
ولم يقتصر ما فعله ريال مدريد عند ذلك فقط، ويستعد النادي الإسباني للذهاب لما أبعد من ذلك وفقاً لقناة النادي التلفزيونية.
وقد أعلن تلفزيون ريال مدريد أن النادي يعد ملفاً حول ما حدث في الموسم الماضي وفي هذه الجولات الأربع الأولى لتقديمه للاتحاد الدولي لكرة القدم “فيفا” ليتمكن من الاطلاع على مستوى ما يحدث من أخطاء على مستوى التحكيم.
ولم تتردد قناة ريال مدريد بعد انتهاء لقاء ريال سوسيداد في انتقاد حكام اللقاء، وذكروا: “من المؤسف أن نتحدث عن هذه الفضيحة بدلاً من الحديث عن أداء مبابي الرائع أو مباريات تشواميني الـ150”.
It’s hard to think of many teams having a better summer than Chelsea this year.
Enzo Maresca’s side are now World Champions thanks to their incredible domination of Paris Saint-Germain and have made several sensational additions in the transfer market.
Yet, when it comes to the latter, it could be said that Liverpool are the one Premier League side who are outdoing them, as they’ve already signed Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, are about to sign Hugo Ekitiké and spent a massive £116m on Florian Wirtz.
The former Bayer Leverkusen star was one of the most sought-after players at the start of the window, and someone who could be a real game-changer for the Reds, so Chelsea fans should be delighted over reports linking them to someone who could be their own version of the German.
Chelsea's transfer window so far
Intent on building on the squad’s Conference League win last season and their Champions League qualification, Chelsea have already gone big this summer.
Transfer Focus
Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.
The headline signings are undoubtedly Liam Delap for £30m from Ipswich Town, £48m for Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund and £60m for Joao Pedro from Brighton & Hove Albion.
BlueCo have even made a nice profit on Noni Madueke by selling him to Arsenal for a whopping £52m.
Chelsea forward Joao Pedro
Yet, the club aren’t done there, as it now looks like they are planning on signing a seriously exciting star who could be their own Wirtz.
At least that’s according to a recent report from Spain, which has claimed Chelsea are incredibly interested in Morgan Rogers.
In fact, the report has revealed that the Aston Villa star is the Blues’ top target, and they are working on an offer to present to the Claret and Blue, who value their star at €90m, which is approximately £78m.
It would be a costly and complicated transfer to get over the line, but Rogers has proven he’s worth fighting for, especially as he could be Chelsea’s answer to Wirtz.
Why Rogers could be Chelsea's Wirtz
It might sound bold to suggest that Rogers could be to Chelsea what so many expect the £116m Wirtz to be for Liverpool, but we have our reasons.
England'sEberechiEzecelebrates scoring their third goal with England's Morgan Rogers
Firstly, the Villa ace was almost as effective as the German when it came to his output last season, and that is even more impressive when you consider that the Premier League is ranked as the toughest league in world football, while the Bundesliga comes in as only the third.
For example, the Villans’ often unstoppable “machine,” as dubbed by The Athletic’s Jacob Tanswell, managed to score 14 goals and provide 15 assists in 54 appearances, which comes out to a brilliant average of a goal involvement every 1.86 games.

In contrast, the former Bayer Leverkusen star scored 16 goals and provided 15 assists in 45 appearances, which comes out to a slightly better average of a goal involvement every 1.45 games.
On top of the similarities in their output, both players are still just 22 years old, and would be playing for two of the ‘big six’ sides, and possibly even leading their respective sides into a title race next season.
Finally, while both players can play in other positions, especially the former Middlesbrough gem, they are at their best and most dangerous when playing in the middle of the park.
Ultimately, it may well cost an arm and a leg, but Chelsea should be doing all they can to sign Rogers this summer, as he’d be an incredible addition to their team, and maybe even their answer to Wirtz.

وقال محمد فضل في تصريحات لبرنامج ملعب أون على قناة أون سبورت: “كابتن حسام حسن كان مهاجم أيقوني وخطير، ومصطفى محمد مهاجم قوي، خاصة في الفترة الأخيرة مع فريقه نانت، حيث سجل هدفًا وفاز فريقه في الدوري الفرنسي”.
وتابع: “بعض اللاعبين يخطئون، والمدير الفني يغضب، لكن من المهم أن يفهم اللاعب (لازم تطبطب عليه)، خاصة أن مصطفى محمد لاعب مميز، ويواجهه ويقول له: (أنت أخطأت، أنا غاضب منك، وأنا هعمل كذا، وينهي الزعل)، لأن هذا في مصلحة منتخب مصر”.
واختتم: “مصطفى محمد لعب 8 أو 9 دقائق، صنع ثلاث فرص كان من الممكن ان تتحول إلى ثلاث أهداف، ولا يحتاج تقييما لكن عندما شارك تشعر وأنه غير سعيد، طبعا شرف لأي لاعب يلعب لمنتخب مصر، لكن على كابتن حسام التعامل معه كابنه”.
Ravi Bishnoi and Axar Patel starred with the ball in the rain-hit game

In Dambulla, Chamari Athapaththu and Harshitha Samarawickrama had countered India’s spinners to lead Sri Lanka to the Women’s Asia Cup title. About 100 kilometres away in Pallakele later in the evening, it was India’s spinners who dominated Sri Lanka in the second men’s T20I. Ravi Bishnoi, Axar Patel and Riyan Parag returned combined figures of 12-0-86-5 to trigger another Sri Lanka collapse and help India sew up the three-T20I series, with one game to go.Across the first two T20Is, Sri Lanka have lost 16 for 68 in the last six overs. There was so much purchase for spinners that part-time spinner Parag bowled his full allotment of overs and Axar bowled the last over of the first innings in which Sri Lanka could manage only 161 for 9.Sri Lanka’s best bet to defend that sub-par total would have been to unleash their three spinners on India – they had shored up their spin attack by bringing in Ramesh Mendis for fast bowler Dilshan Madushanka – but rain disrupted them. Though Maheesh Theekshana knocked Sanju Samson over for a duck in India’s DLS-adjusted chase of 78 in eight overs, Wanindu Hasaranga conceded 16 in his first over. Suryakumar Yadav then lined up Theekshana for three successive fours to rush India towards victory.Matheesha Pathirana dismissed Suryakumar for 26 off 12 balls, and Yashasvi Jaiswal holed out for 30 off 15 balls in the next over, but Hardik Pandya produced a cameo of his own, ensuring that India’s new era kicked off with a series win.Nissanka, Perera lay strong baseAfter being asked to bat first, Sri Lanka dashed out of the blocks, scoring 54 for 1 in the powerplay. With the ball not swinging for Mohammed Siraj or Arshdeep Singh, Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis had the license to pump the ball over the top.Mendis had hoisted an on-pace seam-up delivery from Arshdeep for a four over mid-on, but when the left-arm seamer took pace off and bowled a cutter into the pitch, he could only miscue it to the infielder. Nissanka and Kusal Perera, though, kept batting with high intent and kept pinging the boundaries in the powerplay.Kusal Perera and Pathum Nissanka put on a 54-run stand•AFP/Getty Images
Whenever India’s bowlers strayed into his hips, Perera unleashed Sanath Jayasuriya-esque short-arm jabs and when he raced to a 31-ball half-century, he had Jayasuriya himself applauding warmly from the dugout. Perera had reached the landmark with some help from Rinku Singh, who slipped at the edge of the square-leg boundary and ended up parrying the ball away for six.Rinku had also reprieved Kusal on 32 in the tenth over after wristspinner Bishnoi had drawn a top-edged sweep with a legbreak. By the time, Bishnoi had already pinned Nissanka lbw for 32 off 24 balls with a fizzing wrong’un.India’s spinners wreck the baseIndia stuck to four specialist bowlers, including Axar, and backed Hardik and Parag to share the fifth-bowler duties. After impressing with 3 for 5 on Saturday, Parag extracted ripping turn and bounce. At one point, the broadcaster put up a graphic showing the average turn achieved by India’s spinners. Parag had generated 3.7 degrees of turn on an average in comparison to Axar’s 3 degrees and Bishnoi’s 1 degree.Though Parag went wicketless, he once again showed that he could do a job with the ball. He even allowed Suryakumar to hold Hardik back until the 14th over.Bishnoi then returned at the death to bowl both Dasun Shanaka and Hasaranga for ducks. Hardik did his bit by having Perera holing out for 53 off 34 balls, with Rinku holding onto a sharp catch and redeeming himself.ESPNcricinfo Ltd
Suryakumar shook things up at the death, much like he had done on Saturday when he handed the ball to Parag during this phase. Bowling the 20th over for only the third time in his T20I career and sixth in his T20 career, Axar gave up just eight runs while taking the wickets of Theekshana and Ramesh on Sunday.From 130 for 2, Sri Lanka subsided to 161 for 9. Game over for them.Rain, SKY mess with SL’s spinnersAfter rain had delayed the start of the match by 45 minutes, it returned three balls into India’s chase and left them chasing a revised target of 78 in eight overs.Sri Lanka had a sliver of hope when Theekshana took out Samson with a skidder and then beat Suryakumar’s outside edge with a carrom ball. Hasaranga, however, struggled to grip the wet ball and Jaiswal aced the match-up against the legspinner.With the ball sliding onto the bat after the shower, Suryakumar played a variety of sweeps before he fell to Pathirana. Hardik finished the chase with nine balls to spare and left Hasaranga nursing figures of 2-0-34-1.
Arsenal are reportedly garnering serious belief that they could seal a major deal pretty soon, with Mikel Arteta and Andrea Berta continuing their business behind-the-scenes ahead of a pivotal Premier League campaign.
Arsenal trying to convince £55m ace to join, Arteta is speaking to him
The Gunners boss is getting involved.
ByEmilio Galantini Jul 4, 2025
The north Londoners missed out on the title to Liverpool by some distance last season, which was partly down to injuries to key attacking players, but their lack of cutting edge in the final third was also a key factor.
Arsenal netted just 69 Premier League goals, a far cry from the 91 and 88 they’d scored in the previous two campaigns, with Berta and co working to bolster their attacking options as a result.
The Gunners appear to be targeting two wingers (Fabrizio Romano), with Arsenal holding talks over a deal for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze, who could arrive in a separate deal to the likes of Chelsea winger Noni Madueke or Real Madrid forward Rodrygo.
Madueke is being considered by Arsenal and Rodrygo is believed to be a “dream” target for Arteta (Ben Jacobs), but supporters are especially keen for the club to end their drawn-out search for a prolific number nine.
RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko and Sporting CP star Viktor Gyokeres have both been repeatedly linked with moves to Arsenal in that regard, with an update now coming to light on the latter.
Arsenal growing in confidence they'll sign Viktor Gyokeres
The 27-year-old is reported by some to have already agreed a five-year contract at Arsenal (Sacha Tavolieri), as discussions remain ongoing with Sporting to compromise on a fee.
Sporting Club's Viktor Gyokeres.
Now, as per journalist Pete O’Rourke, Arsenal are growing in belief they’ll sign Gyokeres, and he’s currently the striker in pole position to join Arteta’s side before deadline day.
“My understanding is that his representatives were in Portugal for showdown talks with Sporting Lisbon to try and thrash this deal out,” he told Football Insider.
“There is a growing optimism from his side and from Arsenal that they can get it over the line. The Sweden international has been one of Arsenal’s top targets this summer.
“Gyokeres is the clear favourite now to make that move to the Emirates Stadium. There’s been a bit of an ongoing row between Gyokeres and Sporing in recent weeks.
“It’s been claimed he could go on strike because he feels they’ve gone back on a gentleman’s agreement to let him leave for below his release clause. No deal is done until it’s done, but there is a growing optimism Arsenal are finally going to get Gyokeres as their new number nine next season.
“It’s just a matter of trying to thrash out a fee with Sporting. It would be a huge signing for Arsenal because that’s an area that has been lacking under Arteta.”
Gyokeres bagged an incredible 54 goals in all competitions for Sporting last season, guiding Rui Borges’ men to a first domestic double in two decades, and his ruthlessness in front of goal is exactly what Arsenal were crying out for in 2024/2025.
However, the price will be a major sticking point, and it is believed Arsenal want to sign Gyokeres for around £60 million – a figure reportedly below the Swede’s current valuation of £69 million.

Fulham have now opened talks to sign a “spectacular” U21 European Championships star, having expressed a concrete interest in securing his signature, according to a report from Sky Sports.
Cottagers set sights on U21 Euros star
Several players put themselves in the shop window courtesy of their performances at the recent U21 Euros, with former Fulham man Harvey Elliott playing a vital role in England’s triumph, picking up five goals throughout the tournament.
The Cottagers have expressed an interest in signing Elliott in the past, and the midfielder’s recent performances are only likely to have driven up his value, with Liverpool now thought to be holding out for a fee of £40m.
However, the Liverpool ace was not the only midfielder who excelled at the tournament, with a report revealing Marco Silva’s side have now taken steps towards securing the signature of a different midfielder…
Leeds leading Fulham in race to sign £8.5m defender alongside Bornauw

ByBrett Worthington Jul 1, 2025
According to Sky Sports (via Sport Witness), Fulham have now expressed a concrete interest in signing Borussia Monchengladbach’s Rocco Reitz, submitting an enquiry over a potential summer deal.
Reitz has a £17m release clause which becomes active next summer, and he is attracting widespread interest from within the Premier League, with West Ham United thought to be leading the race for his signature.
Monchengladbach are worried by the interest in one of their key players, with the German club determined to retain his services, but the fact the midfielder is set to be available for £17m next year could lead them to auctioning him off this summer.
"Spectacular" Reitz impressing for Germany U21s
Germany ultimately came up short in the U21 Euros final, with England prevailing 3-2 after Jonathan Rowe’s extra-time winner, but Reitz impressed throughout the tournament, being singled out for high praise from football talent scout Jacek Kulig.
Fellow scout Antonio Mango has lauded the maestro as “spectacular” in the past, and he has proven himself to be exceptional at winning back possession, ranking in the top 1% for interceptions per 90 over the past year, when compared to his positional peers.
Germany'sRoccoReitzand Germany's Eric Martel look dejected after the match
After losing Joao Palhinha last summer, Fulham brought in Sander Berge, but there are signs the Mönchengladbach midfielder could be more of a like-for-like replacement for the Portugal international, considering his defensive qualities.
As such, Reitz could be a shrewd acquisition for Silva this summer, and the manager will be hoping that Fulham finishing higher than West Ham last season will give them the edge over their Premier League rivals in negotiations.
This summer will be vital in Thomas Frank’s tenure at Tottenham Hotspur, needing to land the right players in key positions if he is to be a success at the club.
The Dane took the reins earlier this month on a three-year contract, taking the next step in his managerial career after spending the last seven years at Brentford.
He will be looking to take the Lilywhites up the Premier League throughout 2025/26, taking them back up the table after their dismal 17th-placed finish this campaign.
However, if he is to achieve his goal and be a success in North London, he will certainly need to be backed throughout the transfer window, with Daniel Levy needing to get his chequebook out.
Numerous names have already been mentioned over the last couple of days, but multiple deals appear to be heading in the right direction for the Lilywhites.
The latest on Spurs’ hunt for new additions
Kyle Walker-Peters has been touted with a shock return to Spurs this summer, after the club made contact with his representatives following his departure from Southampton at the end of his contract.
Antoine Semenyo is another player in their sights, reportedly willing to match his £65m asking price this summer after scoring 11 times for Bournemouth this season.
AFC Bournemouth's AntoineSemenyolooks on
However, another winger has been thrown into the mix over recent days, with Real Madrid star Rodrygo firmly within their sights, according to Spanish outlet Cadena SER.
They claim the Brazilian is set to leave his window after featuring for just 93 minutes at the Club World Cup, naming Spurs as one side keen on a move for the 24-year-old.
It also states that the player himself wants a move to the Premier League, but any deal would cost a fee in the region of €90m (£76m) during the off-season.
Why Spurs’ £76m target would be a better signing than Mbeumo
After Frank’s appointment, it’s hardly a surprise that Spurs have been touted as a potential destination for winger Bryan Mbeumo, after he starred under the Dane last season at Brentford.
Brentford's BryanMbeumocelebrates scoring their first goal
The 25-year-old found the back of the net 20 times in the league, producing the best season of his professional career, making himself one of the most threatening talents in the division.
However, despite the Lilywhites’ keen interest in his signature, it appears as though they are set to miss out on a deal to take him across the capital, with Mbeumo set for a medical at Manchester United.
Missing out on such a talented player will undoubtedly be disappointing for the supporters, but also the manager, especially considering his form under his guidance in 2024/25.
They needn’t worry, though, especially given the latest update around a potential move for Rodrygo, with the Brazilian providing a better option for Frank in 2025/26.
Real Madrid's Rodrygo
When comparing the pair’s respective figures from the recent campaign, the Madrid star has massively outperformed him in key areas, offering a new dimension to the club’s attack should he move this summer.
Rodrygo, who’s been labelled “world-class” by analyst Ben Mattinson, has notched more progressive passes and a higher tally of key passes per 90, reflecting the creative ability he possesses in attacking areas.

He’s also registered way more progressive carries and a higher take-on success rate, demonstrating his desire to take the ball forward into the opposition’s box and cause carnage – further increasing their goalscoring output in North London.
His experience at the top level of European football is vital for the club too, handing Frank that key option he will need if the club is to be competitive in the Champions League next campaign.
£76m may be a hefty sum, one that would be a club record, but as seen by the figures he’s produced recently, it’s one that could set the side up for future success.
Mbeumo reuniting with the Dane would’ve certainly aided their chances of immediate success, but missing out may prove to be a blessing if it leads them to a deal to land Rodrygo this window.
A better signing than Semenyo: Spurs leading race to land £25m sensation
Tottenham Hotspur appear to be making strides in a move to land a new talent for Thomas Frank.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank is ready to tackle his first-ever campaign as a Champions League coach after finally sealing a high-profile move to a ‘big six’ side, with the Dane’s private assessment of his new squad now coming to light.
Thomas Frank confirmed as new Tottenham manager
Following many productive years at Brentford, Frank sealed a switch to Spurs earlier this week as Ange Postecoglou’s immediate replacement, just days after the club announced chairman Daniel Levy’s tough decision to sack the Australian.

Postecoglou guided the Lilywhites to their first major trophy in 17 years by winning the Europa League on a famous night against Man United in Bilbao, but Spurs cited their woeful domestic form as the catalyst behind his dismissal.

The north Londoners lost a record-breaking 22 Premier League games under Postecoglou last season and finished just one place above the relegation zone, with Levy showcasing ruthlessness over the emotion surrounding their European triumph by firing Frank’s predecessor.
Yet another new era has now begun at Spurs with Frank’s arrival, and the 51-year-old has now become their fifth manager since Mauricio Pochettino’s exit in 2019.
“Thomas is very personal with the players,” Brentford midfielder Christian Norgaard told BBC Radio 5 Live, telling Spurs supporters what they can expect.
“He cares a lot about how we are and how we feel. It’s a very important quality for a manager to have.
“Not every manager has it, and the ones that do seem to have more success. He’s definitely a leader and someone who guides us. He’s done a fantastic job in the years that I’ve worked with him at Brentford.”
However, pundit Chris Sutton believes Levy has taken a major gamble on his appointment.
“Thomas Frank has done a brilliant job at Brentford, but this is a whole different kettle of fish,” said Sutton.
“Because of the expectation at Tottenham, Frank won’t get time to get his feet under the table. He will be under pressure from the off. Postecoglou has just won them their first major European trophy for 41 years and has gone. So already you have to wonder what does Frank need to do this season to keep his job?
“The aim for Frank will be to keep them in the Champions League, and whether that is by making the top four or five, that is not going to be easy.”
Amid reports that Frank is looking to sign Bryan Mbeumo to upgrade his Tottenham squad, journalist Graeme Bailey has shared what the tactician really thinks of his current team.
What Thomas Frank privately thinks about Tottenham's squad
According to the reporter, who spoke to The Boot Room this week, there is a feeling that Frank is privately thrilled with his options at Tottenham, even if they’re reportedly battling Man United for Mbeumo right now.
Brentford managerThomasFrankapplauds fans after the match
“Spurs think there is a need for another player on the right,” said Bailey.
“But, from what I am told, the belief at Spurs is that Frank is a fan of this squad. They think he will love working with it – someone like Brennan Johnson is going to love playing for Frank.”
The Scandinavian has bigger names to manage than ever before, and away from the lack of pressure at mid-table Brentford, far more eyes will be on how Frank does at N17.
