AC Milan scored twice in two minutes to beat Genoa 2-1 in Serie A on Monday and keep alive its slim hopes of a place in next year's Champions League.

But Rafael Leão levelled 15 minutes later when his powerful shot was deflected into the net, and two minutes later Genoa captain Morten Frendrup put one into his own net.
Although Milan remained in ninth place, it closed the gap on the top four to six points. Juventus was fourth, equal on points with Roma and Lazio below it.
Three rounds remain.
Milan's last three games are against Bologna, Roma and bottom club Monza.
Genoa has lost its last three games and sits in 13th.

Ronaldo leads Portugal to Nations League final with first win over Germany in 25 years
by Naharnet Newsdesk 05 June 2025, 16:15 Cristiano Ronaldo has led Portugal to its first win over Germany in 25 years. The 40-year-old Ronaldo captained the team and scored his 137th international goal as Portugal came from behind to beat Germany 2-1 in Munich in their Nations League semifinal on Wednesday. It was Portugal's first win in Germany since a World Cup qualifier in Stuttgart in October 1985 — some six months after a future superstar was born in Madeira. On his record-extending 220th appearance, Ronaldo became the oldest player to ever score against Germany while ending his "curse." The former Real Madrid star lost each of the previous five games he'd played against Germany. Portugal hadn't beaten Germany since Sérgio Conceição scored a hat trick for a 3-0 victory at Euro 2000. On Wednesday, Conceição's son — 22-year-old Francisco Conceição — pulled Portugal level just five minutes after making his entrance with a brilliant long-range strike inside the far post after he surged past Robin Gosens like he wasn't there. Liverpool target Florian Wirtz had given Germany a 48th-minute lead with a perfectly placed header inside the right post, but Portugal coach Roberto Martínez made his changes count as he brought on Conceição and Champions League winner Vitinha among the substitutes. Vitinha excelled as Portugal finished the game in the ascendancy just four days after he helped Paris Saint-Germain win the Champions League final against Inter Milan in the same stadium on Saturday. Germany needed goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen at his best to prevent the visitors from scoring any more. "When we're not at 100% then we can't compete with the top teams," said Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann, who was missing Jamal Musiala among others. PSG wing backs João Neves and Nuno Mendes both started for Portugal, while Stuttgart forward Nick Woltemade started for his Germany debut and had the home team's best first-half chance saved by Diogo Costa. Conceição made his mark in the 63rd. Mendes gave Ronaldo a simple finish five minutes after that. "It could have been more," Mendes said. France plays Spain in Stuttgart on Thursday in the other semifinal, with Germany awaiting the loser to decide third place.

Moise Kean adds to Italy's woes as he withdraws from World Cup qualifiers with injury
by Naharnet Newsdesk 05 June 2025, 16:19 Italy was hit by a new injury blow when forward Moise Kean withdrew from the squad on Thursday for World Cup qualifiers against Norway and Moldova. Italy defenders Alessandro Buongiorno and Mattia Gabbia had already left the training camp with injuries this week. The latter was replaced by Daniele Rugani. Kean returned to Fiorentina "due to a muscle problem he picked up in yesterday's session," according to a brief statement on X. Italy was also already without Francesco Acerbi, who turned down his callup to the national team. The 25-year-old Kean is coming off the best season of his career with 25 goals across all competitions for Fiorentina since joining from Juventus last July. His tally of 19 goals in Serie A was bettered only by Italy teammate Mateo Retegui for Atalanta. Kean has scored seven times in 21 matches for Italy, including two against Germany in March as the Azzurri fought back from 3-0 down to draw 3-3. Italy faces Erling Haaland and Norway on Friday then Moldova four days later. It's Italy's first qualifiers for 2026 and the Azzurri are already trailing group leader Norway, which has a full six points and a plus-seven goal differential after beating Moldova 5-0 and Israel 4-2.

Bruno Fernandes turns down lucrative Al Hilal offer to stay at Man United
by Naharnet Newsdesk 04 June 2025, 15:04 Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has turned down a proposed move to Saudi club Al Hilal because he wants "to play at the highest possible level." Fernandes confirmed Tuesday that he had received an "exciting offer" from the Riyadh-based club to switch after what was a disappointing season for United. "They waited for me to think about my future, because I said only if Manchester thought it was the time to move on, that I'd be willing to do so," Fernandes said through an interpreter. "I talked to the gaffer, Ruben Amorim, and at the time he asked me not to go. I then talked to Man United. They said they didn't want to sell me. If I wanted to go, I could, but they didn't need the money, they didn't need to sell me." Media reports suggested Al Hilal was prepared to pay 100 million pounds ($135 million) to take the 30-year-old Fernandes from United while offering him a wage of 700,000 pounds ($946,000) per week to play for the Saudi Pro League team, which will compete in the Club World Cup this month in the United States. "It was a very exciting offer," Fernandes said. "The president of Al Hilal, he was very nice to me. He talked to my manager but then I talked to my wife and as a family we wanted to see what I wanted to do. She asked me, what do you want to do with your future?" Fernandes last year signed a contract extension to stay at Old Trafford until June 2027. This season did not go as planned as the Red Devils failed to qualify for the Champions League after finishing 15th in the Premier League, while United also endured the heartbreak of losing the Europa League final to Tottenham. "We had goals and we didn't meet them," said Fernandes, a key figure for United since his arrival in January 2020. He said it would have been easy for the family to make the move to Riyadh, and for him to adjust to the team with Portugal teammates Rúben Neves and João Cancelo already playing for Al Hilal. "I'm used to them, but I want to play at the highest possible level," Fernandes said. "I want play for major competitions. I know I still can, and I want to be happy doing the thing I love the most. And for better or worse, I'm still very passionate about football. This is how I see football. This is how I see my life and my future, and I'm happy about the decision I made." Fernandes was speaking as a Portugal player before the team's Nations League semifinal against Germany on Wednesday in Munich. The winner of that game will face either France or Spain in Sunday's final.
