Real Madrid vs Arsenal LIVE!
Arsenal return to Women's Champions League action tonight as they contest the first leg of their huge quarter-final showdown with Real Madrid at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano. The Gunners travel to Spain looking to continue their European charge having qualified for the group stages and then lost just one game en route to topping a table that also contained Bayern Munich and Juventus. A 5-2 defeat by Bayern contributed to the exit of previous head coach Jonas Eidevall, but successor Renee Slegers subsequently steadied the ship and led an impressive recovery effort.
However, Arsenal currently trail leaders Chelsea by eight points in the WSL title race, while they were recently upset by Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup having also been ousted from the League Cup semis by Manchester City. The opportunity for silverware is running out and there will now be extra focus on their Champions League campaign as they hope to win the competition for the first time since 2007.
Real Madrid will also be keen on progressing further in Europe as they trail rivals Barcelona by a long way domestically, but were a distant second behind Chelsea in their group. Follow Real Madrid vs Arsenal live below!
Kick-off: 5:45pm GMT | Estadio Alfredo di Stefano

Chelsea scored five goals across their two group-stage matches with Real Madrid earlier this season, so the Spanish side can be got at defensively.
Arsenal have, overall, been impressive under Slegers, and we're going for them to take a narrow lead back to London.
Arsenal to win, 2-1.
16:04 , Matt Verri
Lotte Wubben-Moy and Daphne van Domselaar have not made the trip to Madrid.
It is otherwise a fit squad for Renee Slegers to choose from, though the Arsenal boss did reveal that Laia Codina has been contending with some 'minor' fitness issues.

FIFA Club World Cup bracket: Schedule, groups for 2025 tournament
FIFA Club World Cup bracket: Schedule, groups for 2025 tournament Show Caption Hide Caption Timing of FIFA Club World Cup problematic for teams across the globe Seth Vertelney explains why the timing of the FIFA Club World Cup is sounding alarms for franchises across the globe. Sports Seriously The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup is approaching, with the 32-team tournament featuring some of the biggest club teams in global soccer. The new format for the Club World Cup includes a major expansion, with the old version of the event featuring just seven teams in most editions. Now, though, the event will feature group-stage play akin to what most fans will recognize from the men's and women's World Cups. The path through the bracket will be tough for MLS's representatives. Lionel Messi and Inter Miami have a viable path out of their group, and LAFC (the final entrants to qualify) could do the same, but both will be up against it unless multiple European giants fall in the first round. The Seattle Sounders, meanwhile, will face newly-crowned Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain in what is arguably the hardest group in the tournament. Here is a complete bracket for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, including the schedule, groups, and a list of participating teams: FIFA Club World Cup tickets: Here are the cheapest seats for this summer's tournament Club World Cup 2025 bracket, schedule The 32 teams in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup have been placed into eight groups of four, with a round-robin group stage serving as the tournament's first round.

does Club World Cup bracket work? The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup will work through a bracket familiar to any fan of international soccer. Much like the World Cup for national teams, the Club World Cup will start with a group stage, with the 32 participants divided into eight groups of four. Those groups will operate on a round-robin basis, with a given team playing the other members of the group once, and the top two teams in each group will advance to the knockout round. That will leave 16 teams standing, and from there it's pretty simple: winners advance, losers go home. The knockout stages will progress from a round of 16 to the quarterfinals, semifinals, and the tournament final on July 13 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. When does the FIFA Club World Cup start? The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup will run from June 14 to July 13 at locations spread throughout the United States. Lionel Messi and Inter Miami are set play in the opening match, which will see the MLS contenders take on Egyptian club Al-Ahly at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, at 8 p.m. ET. The tournament final is scheduled to be held on July 13 at 3 p.m. ET at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Here is a schedule of each stage of the tournament: Group stage: June 14-26 June 14-26 Round of 16: June 28-July 1 June 28-July 1 Quarterfinals: July 4-5 July 4-5 Semifinals: July 8-9 July 8-9 Final: July 13 Club World Cup 2025: How to watch, TV, streaming Every one of the 63 games at the Club World Cup will stream for free on DAZN, while select matches will be carried on TNT in English.

Real Madrid star's injury recovery ‘progressing much faster than expected'
Real Madrid star Eduardo Camavinga is recovering from injury at a considerably faster pace than was originally anticipated. That's according to Marca, who have on Saturday provided an insight into the situation. Advertisement Midfielder Camavinga has for his part been sidelined since back in April, owing to a muscular injury. En route to a 1-0 La Liga downing of Getafe, the Frenchman pulled up with a groin concern, which was later confirmed to have brought a premature end to his 2024/25 campaign. The initial assumption was that Camavinga would likely also be ruled out of the upcoming Club World Cup in the USA. If the latest word stemming from the media this weekend is anything to go by, though, then the 22-year-old could yet return to boost the options of new boss Xabi Alonso much sooner than expected. As per Marca: 'The player appears to be progressing much faster than expected. Given what's been seen 11 days before Madrid's campaign for the latest title, Camavinga could be available in time to make a last-minute comeback (at the Club World Cup).' Conor Laird – GSFN

Tajon, Buchanan, Jonathan David lead the way as Canada downs Ukraine 4-2
TORONTO - Tajon Buchanan scored a goal and set up two more by Jonathan David as Canada defeated Ukraine 4-2 on Saturday in the opening game of the inaugural Canadian Shield Tournament. Promise David, no relation, also scored for Canada in his senior debut. Both Ukraine goals came in the dying minutes. Illia Zabarnyi scored in the 89th minute, tapping home a teammate's header to cheers from the pro-Ukraine crowd. Arsenal's Oleksandr Zinchenko added another from the penalty spot in stoppage time after Buchanan was pinged for handball in the Canadian penalty box. It was an impressive outing, full of offensive flair, by the 30th-ranked Canadian men in their first outing since finishing third at the CONCACAF Nations League Finals in March. And when No. 25 Ukraine threatened, goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau was up to the task for the first 88 minutes. Jonathan David upped his Canadian men's record goal total to 34 in 62 appearances. Buchanan, meanwhile, looked back to his electric self on the wing. No. 86 New Zealand faced No. 41 Ivory Coast in the late game at BMO Field. On Tuesday, Canada plays Ivory Coast after New Zealand faces Ukraine. There will be a trophy awarded after the two competition days, with games going straight to a penalty shootout if tied after 90 minutes. A regulation-time win will be worth three points, with a penalty shootout victory two points and shootout loss one point. There were plenty of yellow- and blue-clad fans in Saturday's announced crowd of 20,145, cheering on Ukraine which has not played at home since Russia invaded in February 2022. There are more than 1.3 million Canadians of Ukrainian descent and Canada has accepted some 300,000 refugees from Ukraine since the war started. The Ukraine starters came out with Ukraine flags draped on their shoulders. Mykola Matviyenko's captain's armband was emblazoned with the chevrons of Ukraine's combat brigades. The Ukraine anthem was sung with gusto on a sunny 17 C afternoon. And pro-Ukraine chants started soon after the kickoff. But Canada went ahead in the fourth minute with Buchanan as playmaker down the right flank. Buchanan beat two defenders and then floated a cross to Jonathan David whose initial header was cleared off the goal-line by a defender. The ball came right back to David who made no mistake with a second header. That drew chants of Canada, Canada. Crepeau made a pair of key saves soon after to preserve Canada's lead, denying an attempted chip by Zinchenko after making an acrobatic save from close-range. Buchanan and Jonathan David combined again in the 24th minute with David, off a Buchanan cross, deftly, flicking a header backwards past goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin, who plays in Portugal for Benfica. Promise David, who scored 24 goals in all competitions for Belgian champion Union Saint-Gilloise this season, made it 3-0 in the 31st minute, pouncing on an errant pass by defender Valeriy Bondar before sliding a low shot through Trubin to open his Canada account. David, a local boy who had friends and family in the stand, celebrated with an enthusiastic slide towards the corner flag. Daniel Jebbison, who plays in England for Bournemouth, came on to start the second half for his second cap, in place of Promise David. Ukraine's Heorhiy Sudakov had a glorious chance in the 72nd minute but put his header over the crossbar. The Canadians were not as connected in the second half although Jonathan David came close to his hat-trick in the 75th, only to see his redirect go high. Substitute Jayden Nelson hit the goalpost in the 78th minute. Jonathan David extended a minute later to a standing ovation. Buchanan made it 3-0 in the 81st minute, outmuscling a defender in front of goal to knock home a ball headed his way off a Canadian free kick for his fifth Canadian goal. Canada improved to 7-4-5 under coach Jesse Marsch with one of these ties turning into a penalty shootout win over Venezuela and another into a shootout loss to Uruguay, both at last summer's Copa America. Canada's previous scoring high under Marsch was a 3-0 win over No. 137 Suriname in November 2024. Marsch, who said he planned to use his entire roster across the two games, fielded a young, relatively inexperienced squad. The starting 11 went into the game with a combined 241 caps, with 186 of those supplied by Buchanan, David, captain Stephen Eustaquio and Derek Cornelius. Five Canada starters —- Promise David, Zorhan Bassong, Luc de Fougerolles, Nathan Saliba and Niko Sigur — went into the game with three caps or less. The average age of the Canadian starting 11 was 22.5 years. Marsch said some of his roster selection was enforced, given Nelson, Sam Adekugbe and Ali Ahmed missed training after arriving sick in the Canadian camp in Halifax following the Vancouver Whitecaps' trip to Mexico for last Sunday's CONCACAF Champions Cup final loss to Cruz Azul. Nelson came in off the bench in the 64th minute. Ukraine also went to its bench, with goalkeeper Dmytro Riznk of Shakhtar Donets replacing Trubin in the 66th minute. Ukraine also brought a young squad, with six of its starters from domestic clubs. The other five were from clubs in England, Greece, Portugal and Spain. —- This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 7, 2025
