Champions League Cappers 🇪🇺 ☕️
Paris Saint-Germain 5 Inter Milan 0
As the season went along PSG were admired by many due to the quality of their football.
But it wasn’t exactly clear how great they were until the Champions League final and they were facing a difficult to play against Inter Milan.
The outcome surprised even their biggest fans as PSG put in what was close to a perfect performance, and the biggest margin of victory in the history of the competition in destroying Inter 5-Nil in Munich.
Opening the scoring for Paris was former Inter player Achraf Hakimi, but the big star was 19-year-old winger Desire Doue who scored the second and third goals to put the contest to bed with almost half the game still to be played.
Winter window addition Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored the fourth and 19-year-old substitute Senny Mayulu put away the fifth to complete the rout and give PSG it’s first ever European title.
Major League Americanos 🇺🇸 ☕️
Eastern Conference
FC Dallas 0 Philadelphia Union 0
The Philadelphia Union continue to sit atop not just the Eastern Conference but atop the entirety of Major League Soccer.
It was only a 0-0 draw at Toyota Stadium against FC Dallas, but it was enough to keep the Union on top.
The Union outshot Dallas 23-7 but could not finish.
Philadelphia remain unbeaten in 11 matches across all competitions, and lead the Supporters Shield standings.
Western Conference
Vancouver Whitecaps vs Portland Timbers (Postponed)
While Philadelphia are currently on top of the entire league, the Vancouver Whitecaps do have two games in hand and are still on top of the West.
The Whitecaps’ most recent match versus rivals Portland was postponed due to their advancement in the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup Final, set to take place on Sunday, June 1 against LIGA MX side Cruz Azul.
The Mill ⚙️ ☕️
Manchester United have landed Wolves’ Matheus Cunha, have their sights set on Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, and have avoided losing Bruno Fernandes to the Saudi Pro League.
Chelsea have added Ipswich striker Liam Delap, and have opted out of Jadon Sancho’s transfer from United.
Liverpool have made club-record offer of €130million for Bayer Leverkusen’s exciting young midfielder, Florian Wirtz.
City are targeting Wolves left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri and Lyon midfielder Rayan Cherki.
