Ibrahimovic Urges AC Milan Players to Reflect on Performance After Champions League Exit
Former Football Player, Zlatan Ibrahimovic urges AC Milan players to reflect on their performance after the team’s recent Champions League exit.
He stated that the struggles were from the team and they need to work on themselves before they can get a good performance.
Ibrahimovic also shares his concern on the referee’s decision of giving a yellow card to Theo Hernandez for diving during the game.
AC Milan started off well in the match but after Hernandez’s dismissal in the 51th minute the game changed for the team. This became an advantage for the other team and they utilized it well.
Speaking to Sky media, Ibrahimovic stated “Feyenoord were not better than us, we just killed ourselves. We are disappointed.”
“The referee has been severe with Theo Hernandez with no warning before the red card. Theo is not an actor, he does his best.”
Manchester United legend Gary Neville has tipped Arsenal to win the English Premier League next season, believing it’s finally their time to end the title drought since 2004. Arsenal have been knocking on the door for a while, finishing second for three straight seasons under Mikel Arteta. Their point totals have been impressive — 84, 89, and most recently 74 points in the 2024-25 campaign.
Speaking on The Overlap, Neville shared his prediction for the 2025-26 season, saying, “I have to back Arsenal again. I’ve been saying it the last couple of seasons, and they’ve finished second three years running. I’m sticking with them.” Last season, the Gunners ended the campaign 10 points behind champions Liverpool but Neville clearly believes their breakthrough is near.
Russia defender Danil Krugovoy has made it clear that his team isn’t intimidated by the upcoming clash with the Super Eagles of Nigeria. The friendly match is set to take place this Friday at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, where Russia will host the three-time African champions.
Nigeria heads into the game with strong momentum, having gone unbeaten in their last four matches and recently winning the Unity Cup in London. Despite the Super Eagles’ solid form, Krugovoy remains confident.
“There’s no pressure—we’re playing at home,” he said in a chat with Match TV. “I’m hoping for a full stadium. Nigeria is a strong side, but we must beat them on our own turf.”
Barcelona star Gavi has shared his top picks for the 2025 Ballon d’Or, backing two familiar faces—his teammates Lamine Yamal and Ousmane Dembele. In his view, Dembele deserves a spot in the top three after a brilliant season with PSG, where he played a key role in their Champions League triumph, including a dominant 5-0 win over Inter Milan in the final.
But for Gavi, the real standout is 17-year-old Yamal. He believes the young winger should take home the award, calling him a one-of-a-kind talent. “Dembele’s season has been incredible, no doubt he belongs in the top three. But what Lamine has done is on another level,” Gavi said during an interview with Catalunya Radio.
Yamal wrapped up the season with 18 goals and 25 assists in 55 matches, playing a massive role in helping Barcelona secure a domestic treble—LaLiga, Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup.
