💬 Mourinho's cheeky quip ahead of the Champions League final 😅
This Saturday night, Paris Saint-Germain faces Inter Milan in the Champions League final, in a duel that promises to be electric.
But a few days before the big event, an old legend emerged from the shadows to drop a little comment that caused a reaction.
José Mourinho, also known as The Special One, has not lost his sense of the punchline.
"I'm going to be very naughty, but very honest... I was afraid that Inter would win the treble. I didn't want them to win it. The treble is mine.", he said on Sky Sport.
A nod to his incredible 2009-2010 season, when he led Inter to a historic treble: Serie A, Italian Cup, and Champions League. Since then, no Italian club has repeated this feat.
If Inter's fans can see this as a touch of ego (well balanced), no one doubts the love that Mourinho has for Inter.
🇵🇹🗣️ José Mourinho :« Je vais être très vilain, mais très honnête… J'avais peur que l'Inter remporte le triplé. Je ne voulais pas qu'ils le remportent. Le triplé est à moi. » 😂🏆Le Special One …#Mourinho #Inter #Triplé #Légende pic.twitter.com/sNHpa6EMSn

French Open 2025: Coco Gauff emerges from a tough second set to return to Week 2 in Paris
PARIS (AP) — Coco Gauff got off to a terrific start in the French Open's third round Saturday, taking 12 of the first 15 points for a 3-0 lead after just 10 minutes. The rest of the opening set went smoothly, too. Things got much tougher from there, and the 2023 U.S. Open champion was merely two points from dropping the second set, before getting back in the right direction and defeating Marie Bouzkova 6-1, 7-6 (3) to reach Week 2 at Roland-Garros for the fifth consecutive year. Gauff, a 21-year-old from Florida, was the runner-up in Paris in 2022 and is seeded No. 2 at the clay-court Grand Slam tournament this year. Next up for her will be a matchup on Monday against No. 20 Ekaterina Alexandrova, with the winner moving into the quarterfinals. After needing just a half-hour to claim the first set Saturday, Gauff wound up in a 75-minute struggle in the second. That set included eight breaks of serve in a row as the sounds of popping fireworks drifted over to Court Philippe-Chatrier from the nearby soccer stadium belonging to Paris Saint-Germain, whose fans were gathering to attend a watch party ahead of the Champions League final against Italy's Inter Milan in Munich, Germany, later Saturday night. The key in the second was when Gauff trailed 5-3, 30-love with Bouzkova serving. A total of four times, Bouzkova needed to string together two consecutive points to force a third set. But Gauff wouldn't allow it, frequently stretching points with her terrific court coverage until she could find space to hit a winner. On one particularly memorable exchange, Gauff sprinted to barely reach a drop shot, scrambled into position to block back a volley, then leaped for an overhead smash. By the end, Gauff had more than twice as many winners as Bouzkova in the second set, 22 to 11, and also helped herself by winning the point on 11 of her 14 trips to the net. Gauff is one of five American women in the fourth round. The others are No. 3 Jessica Pegula, No. 7 Madison Keys, No. 16 Amanda Anisimova and unseeded Hailey Baptiste. There were three U.S. men still in the bracket heading into Sunday. Keys, who won the Australian Open in January, saved three match points while down 5-4 in the final set and came back to beat 2020 Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin 4-6, 6-3, 7-5. Keys now plays the 70th-ranked Baptiste. Anisimova meets No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka for a spot in the quarterfinals, and Pegula — last year's U.S. Open runner-up — faces French wild-card entry Lois Boisson. ___ More AP tennis:

🎥 Champions League final marred by rail chaos and fan violence
CL-Final in Munich. It's supposed to be a big football festival, but in the run-up, the great atmosphere that was spread in many places in the Bavarian state capital is overshadowed by ugly scenes between the fan camps of Inter and Paris Saint-Germain. Initially, both fan groups marched through the city and were safely escorted by the local police. On the way to the stadium, however, a tear gas deployment in a train at the U6 station "University" posed massive problems for the authorities. The triggered emergency brake led to train chaos. A strong backlog formed. Due to the delay, the two fan camps encountered each other more frequently. Unfortunately, there were also violent scenes, but according to 'Bild', they were quickly brought under control by the Munich police. Meanwhile, the trains are running again, but it will take longer to resolve the backlog. The fact that such terrible scenes have so far been the exception is also shown by such pictures from the early afternoon. Inter and PSG fans in a peaceful loudness contest.
