Contenders eye 'big titles' as Nations League final four kicks off
The Nations League semi-finals start on Wednesday with Germany, Spain, France and Portugal seeking to fine tune their sides with the World Cup just one year away. Tournament hosts Germany face Portugal in Munich on Wednesday and title holders Spain face France in Stuttgart a day later. The winners will face off in the Bavarian capital on Sunday. Created in 2018, the Nations League lacks the history and esteem of football's major international tournaments and has been criticised for adding to an already crowded calendar. But as Spain and France have shown in recent years, the competition can be a perfect launchpad to reach greater heights. France's Nations League triumph in 2021 came just over a year before their run to the World Cup final in Qatar, where they lost on penalties to a Lionel Messi-inspired Argentina. Spain, runners-up against France in 2021, beat Croatia on penalties to win the 2023 Nations League; a year later, the Spanish were crowned Euro 2024 champions. While some of the larger nations have fielded experimental line-ups, recent winners have used the tournament to develop and improve. Of the final four, only Germany are yet to win a Nations League title, with Portugal's success coming in the opening tournament in 2019. Germany captain Joshua Kimmich will be handed his 100th international cap on Wednesday. The Bayern Munich midfielder is the 14th Germany player to reach the milestone, but will become the only member of the 100 club not to have won a World Cup. Kimmich said Monday he "had a couple more chances" to correct the stat and said the Nations League would show how much progress Germany had made, after a disappointing decade. "If it's enough for the really big titles, we don't know, it depends on a lot of factors." World Cup winners in 2014, Germany crashed out of the following two World Cups at the group stage. Their best result since a Euros semi-final in 2016 was going out in the quarters to eventual champions Spain at Euro 2024. "We want to go into the well prepared. We've said a few times that the preparation doesn't start two weeks before, rather it's already started," Kimmich said. "When we now compete in two internationals successfully, we can show we're still on a good path." Kimmich's sentiment was echoed by coach Julian Nagelsmann on Friday, who said "we would love to win titles and keep feeding our self-confidence. "Even if it's only a small title, for us as a group it's very important... Confidence and trust are fragile elements that require constant nourishment." Coming at the end of a long club season, each of the final four are nursing injuries. Already without Jamal Musiala, Antonio Rudiger and Nico Schlotterbeck, Germany lost Jonathan Burkardt, Nadiem Amiri and Yann Bisseck to injury over the weekend. France are missing first choice defenders Dayot Upamecano, William Saliba and Jules Kounde, along with Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, while six players will be involved after Saturday's Champions League final. Opponents Spain elected not to name Rodri in their Nations League squad, wanting not to rush the reigning Ballon d'Or winner as he returns from his cruciate injury. Veteran Portugal talisman Cristiano Ronaldo, 40, has been named despite missing three of his past six club matches for Al Nassr with muscle complaints. Four players will join the Portuguese squad after lifting the Champions League title with Paris Saint-Germain: Nuno Mendes, Vitinha, Joao Neves and Goncalo Ramos. Portugal midfielder Rubin Neves acknowledged the strain on top players, but told the Portuguese FA on Sunday "when we reach this type of competition, at this level, tiredness takes a back seat. "Tiredness is left behind and our main focus is to win the two games and win the Nations League. "We have all the tools available to be at our best." dwi/iwd

Spain vs France Nations League semifinal not a Ballon d'Or decider, says Yamal
Spain's Barcelona striker Lamine Yamal has said the Ballon d'Or award won't be decided by performances on Thursday when he and France's Paris St Germain forward Ousmane Dembele take part in the Nations League Final Four. Spain and France meet in Stuttgart for a place in the final, with the winner facing either Germany or Portugal who play in the other semifinal on Wednesday. Yamal and Dembele have been crucial for club and country this season and the prestigious golden ball trophy could end up with one of them in September during the ceremony in Paris. But the Barca striker challenged a journalist who asked whether Thursday's clash would be decisive for the voting. Also read | Neymar apologizes for red card in what could be his last game with Brazilian club Santos 'If you had to give the Ballon d'Or, who would you give it to - the best player of the year or the one who wins on Thursday?' Yamal told Spanish broadcaster Cadena COPE on Monday. 'I'm confident we'll win on Thursday, but whether we win or not, I'd vote for the player of the year because if something happens to me or Dembele on Thursday, who do you vote for? One who plays on Sunday? 'I would give it to the best player of the year, and I'd keep it for myself.' The competition is tough between the duo, with Dembele winning a Ligue 1, French Cup and Champions League treble, while the 17-year-old Yamal won LaLiga, the Spanish Cup and Spanish Super Cup. Dembele has scored 35 goals in all competitions for club and country this season, while Yamal has netted 19. The nominees for the 2025 edition of the Ballon d'Or award, which covers August 1-July 31, will be announced at the start of August, with the ceremony taking place on September 22.

Ousmane Dembele Brings PSG's UCL Celebration To Roland Garros
Last Updated: Dembele brought the UCL trophy out to the public at the French Open on Monday as he held it aloft for the crowd to marvel at. PSG star Ousmane Dembele presented the UEFA Champions Trophy at the Roland Garros during the French Open 2025 on Monday following the Parisian giants' maiden elite continental title with their 5-0 rout of Inter Milan in the summit clash in Munich. Dembele, the UCL player of the season, brought the trophy out to the public ahead of Novak Djokovic's match against Cameron Norrie and held it aloft for the French audience to marvel at as he proclaimed 'Ici c'est Paris!'. PSG President Nasser Al Khelaifi was also in attendance on the day. Dembele played a crucial role in Luis Enrique's men clinching their first-ever UCL title with a rampant showing in the summit clash. Desire Doue starred with a brace, while Achraf Hakimi, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Senny Mayulu all also found the back of the net in an emphatic performance to give the Qatari-owned side their first-ever Champions League title. PSG were welcomed by hordes of adoring fans on their return to the French Capital City amidst stringent security surrounding the parade as fans gathered at the Champs-Élysées to mark the historic occasion, after two people were reported dead and a police officer was put into an induced coma due to the wild celebrations PSG's win set off in France. Serbian legend Novak Djokovic, who stepped onto the court following the presentation to pick up his 100th win at Roland Garros, made quick work of Brit Cameron Norrie in a straight-sets 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 victory. Djokovic went on to applaud PSG's title-winning run at the most prestigious club event in Europe as he remarked, 'It was an incredible season for PSG, so congratulations to all the PSG fans and my friend Nasser." 'It was very important for the city to have PSG as a Champions League winner for the first time," the 24-time Grand Slam champions added. First Published: June 02, 2025, 23:25 IST
