Guirassy & BVB say thanks: Holtby's farewell gets off to a dreadful start
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇩🇪 here.
Lewis Holtby will leave Holstein Kiel and probably Germany as well after today's match against Borussia Dortmund, and let's just say: So far, the farewell is not going according to plan.

After less than two minutes, the departing Holstein pro tripped Dortmund's Nmecha with a somewhat clumsy kick in the calf. Referee Harm Osmers decided on a penalty without much hesitation, and Serhou Guirassy converted the penalty to his 21st goal of the season.Things got even worse for Holtby's Kiel shortly after: Carl Johansson saw red for a last-ditch tackle on Adeyemi, meaning the Storks had to play with a man down for over 80 minutes.
The big but from BVB's perspective: At the current score, the 1-0 lead is not enough for the Champions League.

Rayan Cherki: I can win the Ballon d'Or at Manchester City
Rayan Cherki says he chose to sign for Manchester City as he believes he can fulfil his dream of winning the Ballon d'Or at the club. The 21-year-old joined from Lyon this week for a fee of €36.5million (£30.9m, $41.7m) and has been training with his new team-mates ahead of the Club World Cup. As a 15-year-old the French midfielder stated his ambition to win the Champions League and be named the best player in the world. Advertisement 'When you see Rodri win the Ballon d'Or it is clear (that) with Manchester City it is possible,' he said at the club's training base in Miami, Florida. 'I'm here for this.' Cherki's cameo appearance for France in the Nations League final defeat to Spain almost inspired his country to a late comeback. His trickery and dribbling ability is key to his game but Pep Guardiola has been accused in the past of dulling creative players. Cherki does not hold any fears that this will happen to him. 'Pep said to me when you have the ball you are free,' he said. 'It is very good for me as it is my first quality. He said to me, 'I love number 10 but now you play in all the positions of the pitch.' It is not complicated because I just want to play. 'I spoke with Pep and he wanted me. It was very, very clear because the system, the club, the city is very good and I want to win at Manchester City. And he wants to win it all.' Cherki arrives at City just as Kevin de Bruyne leaves for Napoli on a free transfer. Across his ten seasons at City, the Belgian recorded 119 assists — the second most in Premier League history — and Cherki will be expected to replace some of that creativity. 'I'm not Kevin de Bruyne, he is a legend,' Cherki said. 'I am here to help the team and to write my own history. In the team we have the best player in the world and for playing I will help the team. For this I work and wait my return. When I play I will help my team and want to win. 'I'm ready for this because I want to win all of the competitions and I want to play all (of them). We have a lot of games but that is football and it is very good to play the first FIFA club world cup in the history and I want (to make) impressions.' ()

How to watch Chelsea vs LAFC live: Stream link, TV channel, team news, prediction
Chelsea kick off their 2025 FIFA Club World Cup campaign on Monday against Major League Soccer's LAFC. Enzo Maresca's side ended the season on a high as they won the Europa Conference League trophy and finished fourth in the Premier League to secure Champions League qualification on the final day of the 2024-25 season. Their focus now switches to the Club World Cup, where they will be among the favorites to win it all. Cole Palmer, Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez will all play starring roles, while new signing Liam Delap aims to hit the ground running and grab the starting No. 9 spot. LAFC beat Club America in a play-off to qualify for this tournament after Club Leon were barred from entering the competition due to ownership rules with their ownership group also owning Pachuca. Steve Cherundolo's LAFC are extremely dangerous on the counter attack and have some very exciting young players, as well as a sprinkling of veterans in Olivier Giroud, Hugo Lloris and Ryan Hollingshead. LAFC are flying the MLS flag in this competition along with the Seattle Sounders and Inter Miami, and American soccer fans hope the trio can cause plenty of upsets along the way against club giants from across the globe. For live updates and highlights throughout Chelsea vs LAFC, check out PST's live blog coverage below. How to watch Chelsea vs LAFC live, stream link and start time Kick off time: 3pm ET Monday (June 16) Venue: Mercedes-Benz Stadium — Atlanta, Georgia TV Channel/Streaming: Watch live on DAZN, for free Chelsea team news, focus New Chelsea signings Liam Delap, Dario Essugo, Mamadou Sarr could all make their debuts, as Enzo Maresca is going to go all out to win this competition. Most of Chelsea's players have only just linked up with the squad after international duty, so it will be intriguing to see who is given a bit of a break at the start of the tournament. OUT: Wesley Fofana (hamstring), Mykhailo Mudryk (suspended) LAFC team news, focus Speaking ahead of the match, LAFC's general manager John Thorrington was excited about the challenge but realistic about the chances of the MLS side causing a huge upset: 'I think it is right to view us as underdogs... What I hope that Chelsea and Flamengo and Tunis and all these teams – I hope they walk off the field with a great level of respect as to the quality of our players and the intensity and the commitment of our players. And if we walk off the pitch every game with that, we will be proud and I trust that the results will fall our way.' Olivier Giroud will feature up top LAFC against his former club, while goalkeeper Hugo Lloris knows Chelsea extremely well from his decade at their rivals Spurs. Watch out for Denis Bouanga, Yaw Yeboah and Timothy Tillman. Chelsea vs LAFC prediction This feels like it's going to be a lot closer than most people think but Chelsea's quality, probably off the bench, will make the difference in the end. Chelsea 2-1 LAFC.
