Vinicius Jr Says He Is Playing His Best Football Right Now Despite Injury

Vinicius Jr believes he is in top form right now despite facing injuries earlier in the season.
The Brazilian has been having a strong campaign with Real Madrid, scoring 17 goals and providing 12 assists in 35 matches across all competitions. In La Liga alone, he has netted nine times and assisted seven in 20 games.
Speaking ahead of Real Madrid’s Champions League clash with Atlético Madrid, he acknowledged the challenges of maintaining peak performance throughout a long season.
“I’m at my best right now,” he said. “With so many games, you can’t always be at 100%. Playing 80 matches a season, sometimes you’re not fully fit, and many players play through injuries.”
He added that the pressure to perform is always high, but he embraces it. “People expect a lot from me, but now is the most important part of the season, and at Madrid, we always step up when it matters.”
Real Madrid secured a narrow 2-1 win over Atlético Madrid in the Champions League first-leg clash at the Santiago Bernabéu. However, they suffered a 2-1 loss to Real Betis in La Liga over the weekend.

Lamine Yamal Names Burna Boy and Rema as His Afrobeats Faves

Barcelona’s teenage football sensation Lamine Yamal has shared his love for Afrobeats, and fans are loving it.
In a recent chat with TTV, the young star opened up about his music taste, saying he enjoys African sounds. When asked to name his favorite Afrobeats artists, he didn’t hesitate—Burna Boy and Rema top his playlist. “I listen to a lot of Afro music,” Yamal said casually during the interview.
His answer took many by surprise, especially since he’s been seen vibing with Nigerian artist Skales. The connection makes sense though—Skales’ 2015 banger Shake Body went viral again thanks to Yamal’s dance moves, sparking fresh attention online.

Malouda Says Osimhen Would Be Perfect Signing for Chelsea

Former Chelsea star Florent Malouda believes Victor Osimhen would be a fantastic addition to the club as they look to strengthen their attack ahead of next season. With Nicolas Jackson struggling to impress consistently, Chelsea are reportedly targeting a new frontman—and Osimhen is high on their list.
Although a move for the Nigerian striker nearly happened last season, wage demands stalled the deal. Still, Malouda hopes the transfer can finally go through this time. “The connection between Osimhen and Chelsea is strong,” Malouda told Racing Tipster. “We’ve had top African players at the club in the past, and I believe Osimhen can lead the next wave.”
He added that Osimhen wouldn’t just be good for the team but could also push Jackson to improve his game. “We need a striker who can score 20 or more goals a season, and Osimhen is that kind of player,” Malouda said. “He’d be a great signing and a major boost for Maresca’s side.”

Amorim Praises Mount and Mainoo for Their Impact in Man U’s Win Over Bilbao

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has praised Mason Mount and Kobbie Mainoo for their impact in the club’s 4-1 win over Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League semi-final second leg at Old Trafford. Mount scored twice, while Casemiro and Rasmus Hojlund added one each to seal the dominant win and send United into the final.
Amorim, speaking after the match, expressed his joy at seeing Mount and Mainoo come off the bench to help turn the game around. “I’m really happy for Mason,” Amorim said. “And I liked what I saw from Kobbie too. Sometimes you come off the bench and completely change the game.” He went on to highlight Mount’s work ethic and versatility.
“When you have someone like Mason who trains hard, eats right, takes his recovery seriously—you just want to support him,” he said. “He’s ideal for that role. He can control the midfield and also run like a winger.” Up next, Manchester United will meet Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final later this month.
