Row Z's end of season special: Gianni Infantino takes on Cristiano Ronaldo for the humility award

Welcome to Row Z, The Athletic's weekly column that shines a light on the bonkers side of the game. From clubs to managers, players to organisations, every Friday throughout the 2024-25 season we have brought you the absurdities, the greed, the contradictions, the preposterousness and the oddities of the sport we all love. We'll end on a high (low) note today with the Row Z 2024-25 Season Awards. Good luck Gianni, we're all rooting for you… Honourable mention: Al Nassr When a YouTuber named Abu Omar dared to do an innocent impression of supervillain Lionel Messi at the home of Cristiano Ronaldo, Al Nassr gave a calm and measured response. 'What happened yesterday inside the dressing room in terms of individual (irresponsible) actions is unacceptable by some people who do not appreciate the value of the party they represent, nor the place and entity that left it.' Runner-up: Chelsea If they weren't selling the women's team to themselves to help balance the books, or being busy compiling the most expensive football squad of all time so they could win a trophy having been pitted against part-timers and farmers, Chelsea were making a firm stand on racism. July 2024: Midfielder Enzo Fernandez was filmed singing an offensive song about France's black players, who included Wesley Fofana, after winning the Copa America with Argentina. Advertisement Fofana called it 'uninhibited racism'. He later accepted an apology from his team-mate and said he 'did not understand' what he was singing, with Fernandez making a sizeable donation to an anti-discrimination charity that Chelsea then match-funded. Fernandez also apologised in public with a post on social media. August 2024: Chelsea handed Fernandez the captain's armband. Winner: Manchester United What a season they've had! Some highlights… Sacking sporting director Dan Ashworth five months after spending £2.5million ($3.4m) to lure him from Newcastle. Sacking head coach Eric ten Hag and his staff (which cost them £10.4m) a few months after bankrolling Ten Hag's summer transfer spending to the tune of around £200m. And then spending another £11m hiring Ruben Amorim and his six coaching staff. No wonder they had to double some ticket prices for older people and kids, what with a leaky roof to fix as well. It's been a hell of a run for INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who took over a football club sixth in the Premier League and have currently rooted them in 15th. At least the women's team reached the FA Cup final, not that Sir Jim was able to attend for the second season in a row, having earlier turfed the team out of their own training ground building and told them to use portacabins. Then there were hundreds of redundancies, the cancelling of free lunches and Christmas parties, the organisation of a barbecue to celebrate winning the Europa League (which didn't go too well). Oh, and they designed a new stadium that looks like a circus tent. It's important to remember the INEOS mantra at times like these: 'Best in class.' 'Morale will be driven by success on the pitch,' Ratcliffe predicted in December. 'We want people here who are either happy or unhappy on a Monday morning depending on what happened at the weekend.' How's that going? Well, United were last seen throwing their goalkeeper up for a corner in stoppage time during a 1-0 defeat to ASEAN All-Stars. Club morale might need checking on. Runner-up: Cristiano Ronaldo During a discussion about who the greatest footballer of all time might be, Ronaldo's response was unequivocal. 'I believe so, sincerely,' he said, when naming who he think is the best player to ever kick a ball in the history of the sport. 'I've never seen anyone better… I say it from the heart,' he added, before calling the individual concerned, 'the most complete player that's ever existed, in my opinion'. Advertisement Who was he talking about? Pele? Diego Maradona? To be honest, there's no need for a punchline — you know the answer. Winner: Gianni Infantino But the winner has to be our Gianni, the man who has been the driving force behind the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup. The tournament promises to be a roaring success – Robbie Williams is going to sing at it and he said it's going to be 'massive'. The tournament will determine once and for all who is the best club team in the whole world. Well, except it won't feature the current best team in England (Liverpool), because they're not invited. Neither are the second-best team in England (Arsenal). Or the current best team in Spain (Barcelona). Or in Italy (Napoli), come to think of it. Anyway, Austria's third-best team (Red Bull Salzburg) will definitely be there, as will Inter Miami, despite them having never won the MLS Cup. Ronaldo might be crowbarred into the competition too, as Gianni told a lad on YouTube last week. So, all told, if you want a ticket for the final, £1,795 to sit in the lower bowl feels like decent value. Anyway, seeing as Gianni has planned it all, it's only fair that his name is engraved on the FIFA Club World Cup trophy (not once, but twice), including a line which says the tournament was inspired by him. We can't wait. Honourable mention: Jhon Duran, who posted a West Ham 'Irons' emoji on Instagram when being linked with a move from Aston Villa to the London Stadium in the summer, then flirted with Bayern Munich after scoring against them by calling them 'the club of my dreams', then signed a new contract with Villa and then fell in love with Al Nassr for a reported 320,000 reasons every week. Winner: Jurgen Klopp to Red Bull. 'I'm a football romantic,' Jurgen Klopp told Marca in 2017. 'I like tradition in football and all that stuff.' All that stuff. Winner: UR Cristiano If you're lucky enough to be one of Ronaldo's 75 million subscribers (sorry, siuuuubscribers… this is genuinely a thing) on YouTube you'll have enjoyed the following videos (again, these are genuine titles): The highlight, though, was undoubtedly an interview with his old mate Rio Ferdinand, during which Ronaldo referred to himself in the third person on no fewer than 10 occasions. During an intense Frost/Nixon-esque grilling about how great Ronaldo is, the subject turned to the thorny issue of Saudi Arabia and its 'issues'. Would Ronaldo use the opportunity to highlight horrendous acts of violence and oppression taking place in his new favourite country? Let's find out… Ronaldo: 'It was very easy for me (to decide to move to Saudi). We can speak about religion or the weather, but no country is perfect.' Advertisement Ferdinand: 'It's interesting what you said that no country is perfect. That's exactly what I was thinking when I saw you go (in 2022)… a lot of the western world are pointing the finger saying negative stuff, I'm like: 'Are we that good?' Everyone has problems but it's about facing the problems and taking a step forward.' Ronaldo: 'For me, all the countries have their issues, it's normal.' They're just normal men. Anyway, to be fair to Ronaldo it was probably for the best that he held back on any negativity given that, according to Amnesty International, people who are critical of the regime are imprisoned and even sentenced to death. Siuuuuuuu! Thomas Tuchel was appointed as England manager and the Daily Mail and Danny Mills took it well. 'A DARK DAY FOR ENGLAND' screamed the Mail, while adding: 'Now we have a gun for hire who owes us nothing and will pass through our game with a huge cheque and no connection to the fans or players. 'We are the laughing stock of the world game.' Meanwhile, Mills just said what we were all thinking: 'Often we see him in a hoodie and a cap on the sidelines, will that be his managerial stance as England manager? That's not really something we're used to, it's always a suit, effectively, and looking very, very smart.' Hull City sacked Tim Walter with the club third bottom of the Championship, which seemed fair enough, but the timeline of events was truly glorious. 6.37pm on Tuesday: Hull's owner, Acun Ilicali, said live on BBC Radio Humberside before the home match against Sheffield Wednesday: 'I would never put the blame on Tim. I'll put the blame on me too.' And the key question: 'If you were to lose tonight, would Tim still be in a job?' Ilicali: 'Yes, he will be in the job. If we lose tonight, he's going to be in the job.' Advertisement 9.39pm: Final score, Hull City 0-2 Sheffield Wednesday. 5pm on Wednesday: He sacked Walter. It was the final year at Goodison Park and Everton wanted fans to share their memories of the grand old place on social media. However, at the time, the team were heading for yet another relegation scrap and, well… — Mr Robot (@bittertoffee) September 1, 2024 — 𝗣𝗘𝗗 (@PED7) September 1, 2024 Still, all's well that ends well… Turns out me and flares dont mix too well — James (@Jab0702) May 19, 2025 When Chris Smalling was playing for Manchester United or Roma, he tended to tweet pretty generic pictures of himself from matches he'd played in. Then he went to the Saudi Pro League and was just so impressed by the future of urban living that he had to tell everyone about it. 'Can you tweet something like…' THE LINE A cognitive city stretching across 170 kilometers, from the mountains of NEOM across desert valleys to the Red Sea.

Chelsea set to trigger £25million clause to complete summer signing

Chelsea Consider Sancho Gamble as Maresca Evaluates Attacking Options Loan Spell Sparks Reassessment Chelsea are weighing up whether to make Jadon Sancho's stay at Stamford Bridge permanent, with iNews reporting that a decision could be made in the coming weeks. The Manchester United winger, who initially struggled to find his rhythm under Enzo Maresca, has since shown signs of revival — enough, perhaps, to shift internal discussions around triggering the £25 million clause negotiated at the start of his loan. Advertisement The Blues had previously considered pulling out of the agreement. As reported in March, Chelsea were 'considering ripping up the agreement to sign Sancho for £25m at the end of his loan after the Manchester United forward struggled to hit top form for Enzo Maresca's side.' Photo: IMAGO However, sources now suggest the club is rethinking that stance. Performances in the latter stages of the season, most notably in Chelsea's Europa Conference League final victory over Real Betis, are said to have impressed Maresca. Maresca's Growing Belief According to a source close to the player, 'Chelsea may reconsider, with Maresca won over by some recent performances.' The manager's belief in Sancho's potential could be a pivotal factor in Chelsea opting to proceed with the deal. Advertisement From a financial perspective, the £25m fee is considered reasonable by modern standards for a player of Sancho's profile. However, Chelsea would still be required to pay £5m in compensation to United should they opt to back out. That clause had not been considered a major deterrent, but it now seems increasingly likely the full agreement will be honoured. Photo IMAGO Maresca's system places a premium on fluidity and technical precision in wide areas, attributes that Sancho has historically thrived upon when operating with confidence. If his recent resurgence can be sustained, the long-term benefits could outweigh the short-term risk. United's Urgency to Offload From Manchester United's perspective, the urgency to move Sancho on is mounting. With the club operating under financial constraints and no European football next season, offloading fringe or out-of-favour players is seen as essential to fund incoming business. Advertisement Sancho has been linked with Bayer Leverkusen, but as iNews notes, 'Erik ten Hag's appointment as Xabi Alonso's successor may put pay to that move happening given their fractured relationship.' Photo IMAGO This leaves Chelsea as perhaps the most viable option. United are hopeful that the £25m fee will help facilitate Ruben Amorim's squad rebuild. The funds would not only ease budgetary pressures but also support a reshaping of the frontline, with targets such as Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko on the radar. Long-Term Investment or Short-Term Gamble? For Chelsea, the question remains whether Sancho can return to the heights once expected of him. Still only 24, his talent has never been in doubt, but consistency and mentality have repeatedly been flagged. With Maresca in his corner, however, the environment may finally be conducive to a proper renaissance. Advertisement Chelsea have form for backing players through adversity, and Sancho's case fits that mould. If the deal is finalised, the next challenge will be ensuring that his trajectory continues upward. Our View – EPL Index Analysis Yes, Sancho hasn't hit the heights people thought he would after arriving to the Premier League from Dortmund, but there's something different about this moment. He's been written off by many, yet when you watch him under Maresca, you get the sense something's building. That final against Real Betis? That was a different Sancho. He looked sharp, engaged, and most importantly, trusted. If Maresca sees the potential to build around that version of Sancho, then £25 million starts to look like a no-brainer. He's still young, still coachable, and clearly hungry to prove a point. Advertisement And let's be honest — this feels like one of those transfers that could go down as a masterstroke or a missed opportunity depending on the gamble. But that's the sort of risk Chelsea need to be taking right now. Smart, strategic risks that show faith in talent. Sancho could be the difference in those tight European games next season. In a market that's spiralling, finding value is rare. Sancho, at £25 million, might just be that piece of gold hiding under the surface.

TSA Warns iPhone And Android Users—You Need This At Airport

New airport warning for smartphone users There is no subject that's more contentious in cyber security circles than so-called juice jacking. It generates fresh headlines most years, when one government agency or another issues a new alert ahead of the holidays. Stories are written and cyber eyebrows are raised — there are more stories than attacks. But still those stories come. But now a new warning suggests there may be a risk for travelers after all. Juice jacking theoretically strikes when you plug your phone into a public charging cable or socket at an airport or hotel, and instead of it being a dumb charger, it's a computer behind the scenes extracting data from your device. This is very different to dangerously crafted attack cables that include a malicious payload in the cable itself. The latest government warning (and headlines 1,2) come courtesy of TSA. 'When you're at an airport, do not plug your phone directly into a USB port,' it says. 'Bring your TSA-compliant power brick or battery pack and plug in there.' This is because 'hackers can install malware at USB ports (we've been told that's called 'juice/port jacking').' TSA also warns smartphone users 'don't use free public WiFi, especially if you're planning to make any online purchases. Do not ever enter any sensitive info while using unsecure WiFi.' This public Wi-Fi hijacking threat is almost as contentious as juice-jacking amongst cyber experts. TL;DR, while it comprises your location, any encrypted data flowing to or from your device from websites or apps should be safe. Your bigger risk is downloading an app from the malicious access point's splash page, filling in online forms, or being redirected to fraudulent login pages for Microsoft, Google or other accounts. The usual advice applies — use passkeys, don't log in to linked or popup windows but use usual channels, and don't give away personal information. You should also be wary of which Wi-Fi hotspots you connect to — are they the real service from the hotel or airport or mall you're in, or cleverly named fakes. As for juice jacking, there is now a nasty new twist to the existing narrative, which while theoretical for now, could fuel attacks that actually work. A new research paper has introduced 'a novel family of USB-based attacks' called ChoiceJacking, which the researchers say, 'is the first to bypass existing Juice Jacking mitigations. The Austrian research team "observed that these mitigations assume that an attacker cannot inject input events while establishing a data connection. However, we show that this assumption does not hold in practice. We present a platform-agnostic attack principle and three concrete attack techniques for Android and iOS that allow a malicious charger to autonomously spoof user input to enable its own data connection.' This is more an issue for Android than iOS, but it's not something for most users to worry about. That said, if you think you might be the target for attacks or if you travel to higher risk parts of the world, I would strongly recommend not using public charging points without some form of data shield or public WiFi without a VPN. You should also be wary of unlocking your device when it's plugged into anything you don't own and control. Interestingly, Google and Samsung have both been better defending devices against USB data extraction, albeit this masks itself as an accessory. There are also new updates for both iOS and Android to reboot devices locked for more than 3 days, which also protects against physical cable attacks. On ChoiceJacking, Kaspersky says 'both Apple and Google blocked these attack methods in iOS/iPadOS 18.4, and Android 15," but "unfortunately, on Android, the OS version alone doesn't guarantee your smartphone's safety… That's why Android users who have updated to Android 15 are advised to connect their smartphone to a known safe computer via a cable and check whether a password or biometric confirmation is required. If not — avoid public charging stations.'
