Inzaghi and Inter: four years of trophies, best moments 🏆
After four years of success, Simone Inzaghi's Inter chapter has come to a close. The now-former Inter coach has decided to leave Milan to embark on a new adventure in Saudi Arabia, at the helm of Al-Hilal, and the legacy he leaves behind is significant.
Since his arrival on June 3, 2021, Inzaghi has had a devastating impact on the Inter environment. He has won six trophies at the helm of Inter: extraordinary achievements that place him only behind Herrera and Mancini in the special ranking of the most successful coaches in the club's history.

It's true, the two lost Champions League finals "blemish" four years of success, but Inzaghi has made Inter history, and this cannot be denied. Here are the best moments the Nerazzurri have experienced with the "Demon" on the bench.
🔝 Two finals and Inter among the Champions League greats
Let's start with the Champions League, even if the heavy defeat in Monaco against PSG is still a boulder. The two finals reached in the last three seasons highlight how Inter with Inzaghi has become a top club also at the European level.
With Conte, the Nerazzurri returned to winning in Italy, but it was with the former Lazio coach that they took a quality leap. Being competitive everywhere is not for everyone, but Inzaghi made it normal. If Inter is now feared in Europe, it's also thanks to him, and "it doesn't matter" if against City and PSG it didn't go as hoped: finals must also be played, and Inzaghi managed to do so in two seasons out of four.
🏆 6 trophies in the cabinet: Inzaghi among the best
Inzaghi, in just four years at the helm of Inter, managed to carve out a place among the greats who have contributed to making the club's history. 1 Serie A, 2 Italian Cups, and 3 Super Cups have given him the third step of the podium among the most successful coaches in Nerazzurro.

Only the legendary Herrera and Mancini, with seven trophies in the cabinet, have done better than Inzaghi, and this is enough to highlight the devastating impact of the former Lazio coach. Behind Mourinho, although the Treble won by the Special One in 2010 will hardly be surpassed.
👏 Triple of Super Cups: Inzaghi in history
He had already shown with Lazio that the Super Cup was bread for his teeth (two triumphs), but at the helm of Inter, he surpassed himself. Three successes in four seasons (2021, 2022, 2023) have made him the most successful coach of all time.
Quota 5 reached and two sacred monsters like Lippi and Capello detached. Inzaghi in the Super Cup has proven to be almost infallible: the "almost" is due because only Conceicao's Milan managed to stop the Nerazzurri this year.
6️⃣ consecutive derbies
Simone Inzaghi was also the man of the derbies: 6 consecutive victories from the Super Cup in August 2023 to the victory that earned the Scudetto della "star" in April 2024. This is the longest streak of successes in Nerazzurro history against Milan.

Almost a year of unbeaten city rivalry against Pioli's Milan: a rivalry that has created memes and many unforgettable memories in the minds of Nerazzurri fans.
😈 The creation of the "demon"
The nickname "Demon" had been circulating on social media for some time for his way of gesticulating, but it went viral after a match against Juventus in November 2023: a small altercation with Chiesa and Inzaghi remaining fixed looking at him. A video that - in its own way - has entered recent Inter history.
The nickname then became public domain, so much so that it was confirmed in a funny way by Inzaghi himself.
⭐️ The second star in the Milan derby
Finally, the second star. Inzaghi leaves Inter with only one Scudetto in the cabinet, but it's the most important one. The Demon gave the Nerazzurri the 20th championship in a dream night: beating Milan 1-2 in the Derby della Madonnina and another page of history written.

Here, perhaps this is the most beautiful moment of Inzaghi's Nerazzurro chapter. The Piacenza coach made possible what before him seemed unachievable and gave instant, unforgettable snapshots. Inter owes a lot to Simone, and Simone owes a lot to Inter. In a few days, there will already be Al-Hilal in his future, but never say never. Maybe it's just a goodbye.

FIFA Club World Cup: When it starts and which teams are playing in soccer's new-look tournament
FIFA's newly expanded Club World Cup kicks off in Miami on June 14, featuring some of soccer's biggest stars like Lionel Messi and greatest teams like Real Madrid. But the launch of the new-look tournament, staged in the United States, also comes with uncertainty over how it will be embraced in an already bloated calendar where soccer is played virtually year-round. This is world governing body FIFA's big play to get a stronghold in the club game. Until now, club soccer's marquee events have been regional competitions such as the prestigious Champions League, which is organized by European soccer body UEFA. FIFA hopes the four-yearly event will be to club soccer what the World Cup is to international soccer and establish itself as one of the biggest and wealthiest tournaments in sport. But that is far from assured amid a backlash from players over fear of burnout and it is still unknown how much appetite there is among fans for another competition. Here is what to know about the Club World Cup. When is the Club World Cup? Inter Miami plays Al Ahly at the Hard Rock Stadium in the opening game on June 14. The final is July 13 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. What is the format? The Club World Cup has been expanded from seven teams to 32 and will emulate the men's and women's World Cups. Eight groups of four teams will play in a round robin mini league, with the top two advancing to a knockout stage, which runs from the round of 16 through to the final. Where is it being played? Staged in the United States, host cities include Atlanta, Cincinnati, Charlotte, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, New York/New Jersey, Orlando, Philadelphia, Seattle and Washington, D.C. Which teams have qualified? Some of Europe's biggest teams will take part, including Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Juventus, this year's Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain and runner-up Inter Milan. From South America, top Brazilian clubs Fluminense, Flamengo, Palmeiras and Botafogo — all recent winners of Copa Libertadores, South America's top clup competition — will participate, while River Plate and Boca Juniors will represent Argentina. Inter Miami, Seattle Sounders and LAFC lead the U.S. charge. Mexico is represented by Monterrey and Pachuca, while top teams from Asia, Africa and the Oceana are also taking part. Notable absentees include European giants Barcelona, Liverpool and Manchester United, who failed to meet FIFA's convoluted qualifying criteria based on winning continental titles like the Champions League over the previous four years and ranking points. Countries are also limited to two entrants unless they have more than two winners of continental titles. Who are the players to watch?Messi anyone? Arguably the greatest player of all time will get the chance to add to his trophy collection, though Inter Miami is considered a rank outsider to be crowned world champion. Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham are in Madrid's star-studded squad, while Manchester City has Erling Haaland and Ballon d'Or winner Rodri. Harry Kane, Lautaro Martínez, Ousmane Dembele and Champions League final player of the match Désiré Doué will also be there. Cristiano Ronaldo is a question mark. His Saudi team Al Nassr failed to qualify, but he fueled speculation about a possible move to another club in a recent social media post, while FIFA President Gianni Infantino said the Portuguese star could end up playing in the Club World Cup because of a unique transfer window. There will be Saudi involvement though in the form of Al-Hilal. Prize money With a total prize fund of $1 billion, the winner of the Club World Cup could earn $125 million. FIFA said in March that it had allocated $525 million in guaranteed fees for teams taking part. That ranges from $38.19 million to the top-ranked European team to $3.58 million for the representative from Oceania, Auckland City. A further $475 million is earned by results in the 63 games, with $2 million paid for winning group stage games, $7.5 million for playing in the round of 16 and $40 million to the team that wins the final. A point to prove The old version of the Club World Cup, which was played yearly, was dominated by European teams in recent times. Only Brazilian team Corinthians broke Europe's winning run in 17 years. An expanded tournament will give more South American teams the chance to test themselves against their European counterparts. Saudi Arabia has made a big push in recent years to become a player in global soccer and has attracted superstars like Ronaldo, Neymar and Karim Benzema to the oil-rich kingdom, as well as winning the right to stage the World Cup in 2034. This will be its first opportunity for it to make a statement in a major global tournament since that drive. Inter Miami has already announced itself to the world after luring Messi and Luis Suarez to MLS and can further enhance its reputation. For European giants Madrid and Manchester City, the Club World Cup could see them add some shine to what has been a disappointing season for both after relinquishing their titles. How to watch Every game of the Club World Cup is streamed live on DAZN. ___ James Robson is at ___ AP soccer:

👀 Yamal breaks 100-year-old record, sends a message to Dembélé
Once again, it was a game in which one star outshone all the others. Around the semifinal between Spain and France, the discussion wasn't just about who would advance to the final, but also about who would win the Ballon d'Or. Lamine Yamal or Ousmane Dembélé? "I'm not thinking about winning the Ballon d'Or. I just want to have fun, play well, and if the Ballon d'Or comes, then so be it," the Barça youngster told 'Radio COPE' before the match. He proved once again during the semifinal that he enjoys himself on the pitch, and in the process, he broke a record that had stood for 100 years. Advertisement Against Spain, Yamal scored a brace and, at 17 years and 327 days old, is now the youngest player ever to score twice in a match for the Spanish national team. Previously, this record belonged to Juan Errazquin, who was 18 years and 344 days old when he scored his brace. That was back in 1925. You can watch Yamal's goals again here. After the 5:4 win against France, it was no surprise that he was named "Player of the Match." And it was hardly unexpected that the Ballon d'Or came up again during his on-field interview. "I always told my mother that I would give everything," Yamal said at the start, adding, "That's why I get up every morning, that's my motivation to play football. Dembélé is a world-class player, you can see that in the Champions League. But today, we're in the final." Advertisement Spain's national coach is also convinced of the young star's quality. "Lamine Yamal made a statement tonight and showed that he should win the Ballon d'Or," said Luis de la Fuente after the match. In the Nations League final, Spain will now face Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo. For France and Dembélé, it's the third-place match against Germany.

McLaren Drops 750S Special Edition, Which Honors Le Mans Legend
McLaren Drops 750S Special Edition, Which Honors Le Mans Legend originally appeared on Autoblog. In 1995, McLaren ran, completed, and won the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the first time. The manufacturer's race-ready McLaren F1 GTRs, which weren't all that different from the road-going version, filled out four of the top five places. The ranks included, of course, the No. 59 car, which took first place. Now, the automaker is honoring the iconic race-winning car by bringing a special edition 750S to customers. View the 3 images of this gallery on the original article As the No. 59 car wore grey to its winning race, it seems fitting that the McLaren 750S Le Mans is also offered in matching Le Mans Grey paint. Don't worry — iconic McLaren Orange is also available, although not unique to the special edition. A roof scoop comes standard, as does McLaren's new HDK (High Downforce Kit), the latter of which bundles a larger front splitter, rear spoiler, and under-wing louvres all in carbon fiber. Five-spoke LM wheels mirror what the F1 raced with and are unique to the model. Gold calipers, titanium exhaust finishers, special center caps, and Le Mans badging inside and outside the car round out a very special package dedicated to an extremely special car. McLaren's only making fifty of 'em, so better get in line. Under the hood (well, rear clamshell), the McLaren 750S Le Mans remains decidedly 'average.' At least, if you could possibly call something with such otherworldly performance average. A 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 develops 740 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque, allowing the McLaren 750S Le Mans to achieve speeds up to 206 mph. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic sends power to the rear wheels, and carbon ceramic brakes handle stopping duties; six-piston calipers in the front, four-piston in the rear. Getting from a standstill to 62 mph takes under 2.8 seconds, and stopping from the same takes just 98 feet. View the 3 images of this gallery on the original article While this special McLaren 750S is primarily honoring the No. 59 car and its 1995 Le Mans win, there are a few other details that shouldn't be overlooked. As an optional extra, McLaren will include a plaque commemorating the brand's Triple Crown wins: 24 Hours of Le Mans, Indianapolis 500, and Monaco Grand Prix. McLaren is one of only three automakers with any claim of Triple Crown success. The other two are Ford and Mercedes, but only McLaren has won all three races as a team/chassis manufacturer. McLaren also says the 750S Le Mans commemorates the running of its GT3 EVO cars this year and the manufacturer's anticipated return to the LMH (Hypercar) class in 2027. I'm not buying one, and you probably aren't either, but it's hard to complain about a special edition that honors such a cool point in history for McLaren. I'm probably a little biased since the McLaren F1 is perhaps the only car regularly selling for millions of dollars that I actually want to drive. The development cycle, engine work (handled by BMW), and end result of the McLaren F1 make it one of the most historically interesting vehicles ever. Even better, apart from the FINA and Gulf-liveried longtail, No. 59 is one of the most iconic. I've digressed. We expect the new McLaren 750S Le Mans to drive as incredibly as the standard car; it will just look a little bit cooler and likely leave your wallet considerably lighter.
