Van Basten Urges Barcelona to Move Lamine Yamal to Central Role

Dutch football icon Marco van Basten has urged Barcelona coach Hansi Flick to rethink Lamine Yamal’s role on the pitch.
Reacting to Barça’s 4-3 loss to Inter Milan in the second leg of their Champions League semifinal, van Basten said Yamal’s talent is being underused on the right wing. Despite being one of the standout players, the young Spaniard couldn’t find the net as Barcelona exited the competition after a dramatic two-legged tie that ended 7-6 on aggregate.
Van Basten believes the 16-year-old would have a greater impact if played centrally, where he could get more touches and dictate the game. “It’s a shame he plays wide,” van Basten told Ziggo Sport. “He’s dangerous on the right, yes, but he doesn’t get the ball enough. In the middle, he’d have more control, more chances to influence the match.”
He added that Yamal has already proven he can create and score, but his next step is to become the team’s heartbeat. “A player that good should be at the center of the action,” he said.

Rasheedat Ajibade Set to Join PSG After Leaving Atletico Madrid

Super Falcons skipper Rasheedat Ajibade is edging closer to a big move to French giants Paris Saint-Germain.
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.

Ademola Lookman Refuses to Play for Atalanta as He Pushes for Inter Milan Move

Ademola Lookman’s future at Atalanta has taken a dramatic turn, with the Nigerian winger reportedly refusing to feature for the Serie A side again. Reports suggest the Super Eagles star has told the club he is done playing for them, as Inter Milan prepare to table a third bid.
The Italian giants have already had two offers turned down, but are said to be edging closer to Atalanta’s valuation. Inter remain determined to bring the 26-year-old to the San Siro this summer.
Sports journalist Onyebuchi Onokala, popularly known as Buchi Laba, confirmed the situation on X, stating that Lookman has made it clear he only wants Inter. According to him, while Atalanta would prefer to sell abroad, the player has drawn a line, his mind is set on joining the Nerazzurri.

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.
