When all was said and done, Xabi Alonso's troops emerged on the right side of a 3-2 result, to book a final-four meeting with Paris Saint-Germain.
The aforementioned Dean Huijsen, for his part, featured from the off at the MetLife Stadium.
Deep into injury-time, however, the summer arrival at Real Madrid was shown a straight red card for a last-man challenge:
Aware that he will be unavailable for selection to face PSG, Huijsen, in turn, was quick to send a sorry message the way of the Blancos faithful.

La Liga Soccer: Livestream Every Game of the 2025-26 Season From Anywhere
The race for the Spanish top flight restarts as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atlético prepare for another fierce title battle in La Liga. Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the 2025/26 soccer La Liga season as it happens, wherever you are in the world, and how to use a VPN if the match isn't available there. Handi Flick's first season in charge at FC Barcelona was one to remember, with the German coach guiding the Catalan giants to a domestic double. Unsurprisingly, the Blaugrana haven't made much in the way of major changes to their squad during the summer, with goalkeeper Joan García and highly touted young winger Roony Bardghji joining alongside loan star Marcus Rashford. Barça's eternal rival Real Madrid, by contrast, has entered a new era under the leadership of former Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso, who replaced Carlo Ancelotti as head coach. Last season's underwhelming campaign has prompted some big signings to complement the likes of Galácticos Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham, with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alvaro Carreras and Dean Huijsen moving to the Bernabeu. Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid, meanwhile, will be once again hoping to close the gap on the top two, while Athletic Bilbao, Getafe and Villarreal will be looking to build on impressive top-five finishes last term. The new campaign also sees Levante, Elche and Real Oviedo joining from Segunda Division, with the latter making their return to the top flight for the first time in 24 years. The new season kicked off on Aug. 15, with the final fixtures set to played on Sunday, May 24, 2025. Real Madrid and Barcelona have dominated La Liga, winning 36 and 28 titles respectively. IonHow to watch La Liga in the US without cable As with last season, all Spanish top-flight games will be available to stream in the US via ESPN Plus, which has live English- and Spanish-language broadcast rights for La Liga in the US. Select games will also be broadcast on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN Deportes, throughout the season. It's worth noting that ESPN is launching an all-new standalone streaming service later this month. How to watch the La Liga from anywhere with a VPN If you find yourself unable to view La Liga matches locally, you may need a different way to watch the games -- that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins. With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this. Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

Report – Inter Milan Quoted A Substantial €60M Price Tag For Borussia Dortmund Midfielder
Inter Milan have reportedly approached Borussia Dortmund to gather information about Felix Nmecha. According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInter1908, the German giants have immediately named their price. Felix Nmecha has enjoyed a rise to stardom since swapping Wolfsburg for Dortmund in the summer of 2023. Therefore, he has become one of Die Borussen's most influential first-team figures. Unwilling to lose another quality player this summer, the club has slapped a mammoth €60 price tag on their prized asset. Borussia Dortmund Name €60m Asking Price for Inter Milan Target Felix Nmecha MOENCHENGLADBACH, GERMANY – DECEMBER 07: do0of Dortmund runs with the ball during the Bundesliga match between Borussia Mönchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund at Borussia-Park on December 07, 2024 in Moenchengladbach, Germany. (Photo by) With talks over Manu Kone's transfer from Roma hitting a standstill, Inter are scouring the market for midfield reinforcements. However, securing Nmecha's services could prove impossible, given Dortmund's excessive asking price. Meanwhile, Inter could also reignite their interest in Atalanta star Ederson. Like Nmecha, the Brazilian commands a premium price, with La Dea reluctant to sell him for less than €45 million. Yet, Nmecha feels like a better fit, considering his versatility allows him to cover multiple spots in the middle of the field. Indeed, he can play deep in the midfield. He is equally well-versed in taking a more advanced role. Therefore, he would perfectly fit into Cristian Chivu's system.

Real Madrid doubt Rodrygo would accept an offer from Newcastle United if it ever arrives
Real Madrid doubt Rodrygo would accept an offer from Newcastle United if one ever arrives, according to Spanish journalist Guillem Balague. Newcastle want to bolster their attack and have been credited with an interest in the Brazilian forward. However, they have yet to submit a bid for him. Madrid want €100 million from suitors for the 24-year-old, but they could sell him for around €60m towards the end of the summer transfer window. Newcastle are not the only ones looking to bring Rodrygo to the Premier League, with Arsenal, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool also believed to be keeping tabs on his situation. However, none of them have made any move to sign him and he could remain at Madrid beyond this summer. Newcastle could decide to wait until the final few days of the window before making a concrete move for the versatile forward, but it remains to be seen whether his mind would have changed by then. Madrid manager Xabi Alonso insists he is in his plans, but Rodrygo made three appearances at the Club World Cup and did not finish any of the games. The La Liga club played six games at the competition before Paris Saint-Germain eliminated them in the semi-final. His last appearance was a four-minute cameo in the quarter-final against Borussia Dortmund. It appears Madrid will not hesitate to sell him if a suitable offer arrives, and the opportunity to get such a player for €60m is one the Toons should not turn down if it presents itself. They are unlikely to be favourites for his services but they should not hesitate to throw their hat into the ring once it is clear a deal can be done. He needs to be playing regularly if he wants to go to the World Cup next year, and a Madrid exit could be on the cards in the coming days. Newcastle will be offering him Champions League football and a place in the starting XI, which could see him consider a move in the long run.
