- Chelsea’s Jadon Sancho loan was not disastrous but they need an upgrade | Jacob Steinbergby Jacob Steinberg on 04/06/2025 at 6:30 am
Winger flickered during his time at Stamford Bridge but failed to provide consistency and Maresca is thinking biggerThe best way to respond to Chelsea having to pay a £5m penalty fee because of their failure to meet a £25m obligation to buy Jadon Sancho from Manchester United is with a shrug.There is no tale of excess, no evidence of scattergun thinking from the recruitment team at Stamford Bridge, no stick with which to beat Todd Boehly. In fact it is not even much of a punishment. A penalty clause is one way of framing it; another is that it is the equivalent of a standard loan fee and that all Chelsea are doing is making a delayed payment after not being asked for one when the deal to borrow Sancho went through on the final day of last summer’s transfer window.

- Bayern back on top as Schick shines brightest: the Bundesliga season reviewby Andy Brassell on 04/06/2025 at 6:30 am
Bayern Munich’s domestic dominance returned and Arminia Bielefeld’s remarkable cup run provided the shocksIt’s Bayern Munich, despite Mainz and Freiburg, unexpected troublers of the European places, deserving praise for their stratospheric improvement from 2023-24. The Rekordmeister is rarely more provoked than when presented with serious opposition, and Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen had done just that with last term’s domestically unbeaten double-winning exploits. Leverkusen were still excellent but could simply not match Bayern’s pace in the end. They played with dazzle but Vincent Kompany also did the one thing that was beyond Julian Nagelsmann and Thomas Tuchel in beginning to sort out Bayern’s leaky defence, conceding their lowest total in the Bundesliga (32) since Hansi Flick’s treble-winning season of 2019-20. He also made them competitive in the Champions League, in which they were unlucky to lose to Inter. Continue reading...
- The Knowledge | Players from one nation winning the men’s ‘big five’ leagues in a seasonby Guardian sport on 04/06/2025 at 6:30 am
Plus: late-career goalscoring centurions, huge gaps between league title wins and trees on pitches• Mail us with your questions and answers“The success of Scott McTominay, Billy Gilmour, Harry Kane and Eric Dier means that British players have won three of the ‘big five’ leagues this season. Has that happened before? And have any countries managed five out of five?” wonders Philipp Lohan.To answer the first question, yes, it has happened before and not too long ago. Robbie Dale emailed in to highlight the 2020-21 season, when Kieran Trippier (Atlético), Ashley Young (Inter) and Phil Foden, John Stones and few others (Manchester City) also ticked three of the five boxes for British players. If we move on to nations who provided players who won all of the ‘big five’ leagues then we had better get busy making a list. Continue reading...
- Bruno Fernandes reveals he rejected Saudi Arabia move to ‘stay at the highest level’by PA Media on 03/06/2025 at 11:10 pm
Manchester United captain spoke with Al-Hilal president‘Ruben Amorim really tried to talk me out of it’Manchester United’s captain, Bruno Fernandes, has confirmed he has turned down a money-spinning move to Saudi Arabia because he wants to “stay at the highest level”. The 30-year-old midfielder has been the subject of speculation linking him with a £100m switch to Al-Hilal, with the Saudi Pro League side reportedly prepared to pay him £700,000 per week.However, Fernandes confirmed he had rejected the chance to move after speaking to Ruben Amorim and his own family. “The president of Al-Hilal called me a month ago to ask about the possibility of me moving there,” Fernandes said, according to the Portuguese news outlet O Jogo. “I had to wait a while to think about the future. As I’ve always said, I would be willing to do it if United thought it was best to move on. Continue reading...

Musetti received a code violation warning for unsportsmanlike conduct. Continue reading...

- Jamie Smith’s rapid response to West Indies fireworks sets up ODI sweep for Englandby Simon Burnton at the Oval on 03/06/2025 at 7:56 pm
England 246/3 bt West Indies 251/9 by seven wickets (DLS)Batter hits quickfire 64 to drive run chaseA day that started for England with walks and bike rides ended with runs, and plenty of them. With a barrage of boundaries from Jamie Smith and Ben Duckett the home side took control of a match that was delayed after the players got stuck in traffic, and then abbreviated by rain, before with an explosive cameo from Jos Buttler they sped to victory by seven wickets, with 62 balls to spare.The series thus ended as it started, with a one-sided victory. The match in between was much more competitive but this was a very different display from England, whose fielding was as sharp as it had been sloppy on Sunday, and in particular from their openers who in Cardiff had scored a combined total of nothing but here each reached rapid half-centuries.
