Inzaghi Hails Frenkie de Jong as Barcelona’s Standout Player
Inter Milan manager Simeone Inzaghi has singled out Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong as the standout player in their Champions League semi-final clash on Tuesday.
The thrilling match, which ended 4-3 in favor of Inter after extra time, featured goals from Lautaro Martinez, Hakan Calhanoglu, Eric Garcia, Dani Olmo, Raphinha, and Francesco Acerbi. However, it was Davide Fratessi’s extra-time strike that secured Inter’s place in the final.
Inzaghi, speaking after the game, was full of praise for de Jong, who impressed him throughout both legs of the tie. Despite the attention on Barcelona’s young talent, Lamine Yamal, Inzaghi highlighted the Dutch midfielder’s exceptional performance.
“A lot was said about Yamal, but I saw another incredible player over these two matches who wasn’t available the last time we played them,” Inzaghi told Sky Sport Italia. “Frenkie de Jong impressed me just as much as Yamal. He’s brilliant at controlling the ball, his timing with passes is spot-on, and he’s just wonderful to watch.”
Inzaghi added that, while he wouldn’t trade any of his players, he found de Jong to be truly sensational over the two legs.

Asisat Oshoala says she’s ready to help the Super Falcons reclaim their crown at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON). The Bay FC striker is set for her fifth appearance at the tournament, which will take place in Morocco. The 30-year-old already has three WAFCON titles to her name.
At the last edition, also held in Morocco, Oshoala only featured briefly due to injury as South Africa took the title from Nigeria. But now, after over a year away from the squad, she’s back and eager to make an impact.
Speaking to NFF TV, Oshoala shared her excitement about being part of the team again. “Scoring goals is what I love,” she said. “It’s been a while since I played with the national team because of personal things going on in my life. But anytime I’m here, I give my all to help the team get maximum points in every game.”
The Super Falcons will kick off their WAFCON 2024 campaign against Tunisia on Sunday in Casablanca. The tournament begins on Saturday, July 5, with hosts Morocco facing Zambia in Rabat, and it will run until July 26.
Liverpool have announced they will retire the number 20 shirt in honour of their late forward Diogo Jota. The club confirmed the decision on Thursday, saying the gesture is a lasting tribute to Jota’s impact at Anfield, especially his role in Liverpool’s Premier League triumph last season.
Jota, who passed away at 28 in a tragic car accident in Spain alongside his brother Andre Silva, played a crucial part in the Reds’ 2024–2025 title win, which marked their 20th league crown. One of his most memorable moments came in April, when his signature shimmy and finish secured victory in the Merseyside derby, the final goal of his career.
