Cucurella Urges Sanchez to Stay Focused After Losing Chelsea Starting Spot

Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella has spoken out in support of his teammate Robert Sanchez, encouraging the goalkeeper to keep working hard and avoid unnecessary attention as he navigates a difficult period in his career.
Sanchez, who secured his spot as Chelsea’s first-choice goalkeeper at the start of the season under new manager Enzo Maresca, has faced increasing scrutiny after a series of costly mistakes in the Premier League.
Maresca has already taken action, dropping Sanchez in favor of Filip Jörgensen for Chelsea’s 2-1 victory over West Ham United. This decision has fueled speculation that the manager may permanently replace him as the club’s main goalkeeper.
When asked about Sanchez’s situation in an interview with AS, Cucurella acknowledged the challenges but expressed confidence that his teammate will recover.
“It’s a tough time for him, but what matters most is that he keeps working and stays away from too much attention,” Cucurella said. “Every player at Chelsea has had difficult moments. The key thing is to stay focused, keep pushing, and be ready for the next opportunity when it comes.”

The 24-year-old winger became a free agent in June after parting ways with Atletico Madrid at the end of her contract and has since attracted strong interest from Europe and beyond. While clubs in the MLS were also keen, PSG are now set to land her signature.
If the deal goes through, Ajibade will join fellow Nigerian star Jennifer Echegini in Paris. Ajibade recently captained Nigeria to their 10th Africa Cup of Nations title in Morocco, where she was also crowned Player of the Tournament.

Ousmane Dembélé Shines as PSG Beat Tottenham and Win UEFA Super Cup

Paris Saint-Germain pulled off one of their greatest comebacks on Wednesday night, beating Tottenham Hotspur on penalties to win the UEFA Super Cup for the very first time. The match, played in Udine, Italy, ended 2–2 after 90 minutes before PSG held their nerve to seal a 4–3 win in the shootout.
Tottenham had looked comfortable for most of the game. Goals from Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero gave them a two-goal lead, and with just minutes left on the clock, many believed the English side had the trophy in their hands.
But PSG refused to give up.
In the 85th minute, Lee Kang-in produced a stunning strike to spark hope. Then, deep into added time, Ousmane Dembélé delivered the moment of brilliance that changed everything. With a perfect cross into the box, he set up Gonçalo Ramos to head home the equaliser and drag the game into penalties.
The French champions stayed calm from the spot, with Nuno Mendes scoring the decisive kick. For Dembélé, he not only created the crucial goal but also converted his penalty and was later named UEFA’s Player of the Match for his outstanding performance.
PSG captain Marquinhos praised the team’s fighting spirit, while coach Luis Enrique admitted the win was a big statement for the club, especially as it came early in the season. The victory also marked history, making PSG the first French club ever to lift the UEFA Super Cup.
