Real Madrid captain talks FIFA Club World Cup, future at club – ‘MLS is one of the options'
Real Madrid captain talks FIFA Club World Cup, future at club – 'MLS is one of the options' Following Luka Modric's emotional exit from Real Madrid, Dani Carvajal has become the club's new captain as the team braces itself for a new chapter under Xabi Alonso. Alonso's mettle will be tested in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, which will be the Spaniard's first major tournament in charge of Los Blancos. Advertisement With a little less than two weeks remaining before the Club World Cup, Real Madrid's new captain Carvajal spoke to talking about the new tournament as well as his future at the club. Carvajal on FIFA Club World Cup Talking about the Club World Cup, Carvajal hailed the new format and what it could mean for clubs competing in this tournament. 'The Club World Cup? It's a new tournament, a great World Cup, as the name suggests. The best teams in the world compete in it, and I think the club and I are very excited about it,' he said (h/t MARCA). It appears Carvajal loves the idea of a tournament where various top clubs across the world can participate.

This year, we have already faced Pachuca and Salzburg. We have this previous experience, and we are looking forward to the first day,' he added. Advertisement Real Madrid kickstart their FIFA Club World Cup campaign on June 18 when they take on Saudi Arabian giants Al Hilal. Carvajal on Real Madrid future, MLS Carvajal went on to talk about his future at Real Madrid. He was specifically about his contract, which expires at the end of next season and the road ahead. Carvajal confirmed that he would likel to try another league once he leaves Real Madrid and it appears MLS is one of the leagues he desires to play in. 'Yes, I have already said in a previous interview that the day I leave Real Madrid, or the day we decide together not to continue, I would like to try a league other than Europe, and MLS is one of the options,' he said. Advertisement It will be interesting to see what will be the role of Carvajal under Alonso next season now that Real Madrid have confirmed the arrival of Trent Alexander-Arnold. It is very much possible that the veteran could play a reduced role in the first team, with Alexander-Arnold largely being promoted as the first-choice right-back for Real Madrid next season.

French Open: Carlos Alcaraz beats hurting Tommy Paul 6-0, 6-1, 6-4 to return to semifinals
PARIS — It's tough enough for any player to deal with Carlos Alcaraz at the French Open. When you're not at your absolute best against the defending champion, as was the case for Tommy Paul in the quarterfinals Tuesday night, there's no chance. No. 2 seed Alcaraz returned to the semifinals at Roland-Garros for the third consecutive year with a 6-0, 6-1, 6-4 victory over No. 12 Paul, who had his right thigh heavily taped and was unable to run, serve or hit groundstrokes at full force. 'I've felt better, you know?' said Paul, who had leg and abdominal muscle issues during the tournament. 'Obviously, I went into the match like, 'I want to win the match.' But pretty early on in the match, it was pretty obvious that I wasn't moving amazing.' Didn't help his cause that Alcaraz was at his very best. 'Today was one of those days that you're feeling great. You feel like every shot was going to be in, every shot was going to be a winner,' Alcaraz said. 'You play with a lot of confidence. No fear of anything.' It took just 52 minutes for him to collect the first two sets. The 22-year-old Spaniard compiled a 23-5 edge in winners in that span, and the final totals were 40-13. 'He played some great tennis. Returned very well. Had me on my back foot all the time. Playing so fast,' Paul said. 'Even on the changeovers, I felt like he was getting up with 20 seconds left. I was like, 'You got to slow down.'' Things got more competitive in the third set, which Paul led 4-3 as some spectators at Court Philippe-Chatrier chanted his first name. But Alcaraz grabbed the next three games to wrap things up after a little more than 1 1/2 hours. 'At Grand Slams, the less time you spend on court, it's great to save energy for the next matches,' said Alcaraz, who is seeking his fifth major trophy. 'Can't ask for a better performance.' He is the first reigning men's champion in Paris to get back to the semifinals the next year since 14-time French Open champion Rafael Nadal in 2021. He improved to 20-1 on red clay this season and leads the men's tour with 35 wins and three titles. Alcaraz's opponent in the semifinals will be No. 8 Lorenzo Musetti, who eliminated No. 15 Frances Tiafoe in four sets earlier Tuesday. The last two men's quarterfinals are Wednesday: No. 1 Jannik Sinner vs. unseeded Alexander Bublik, and No. 3 Alexander Zverev vs. 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic. Paul, a semifinalist at the 2023 Australian Open, and Tiafoe, a two-time semifinalist at the U.S. Open, were the first American men to get to the round of eight at Roland-Garros since Andre Agassi in 2003 — and the first pair to do so in the same year since Jim Courier and Pete Sampras in 1996. Since Agassi completed his career Grand Slam by winning the French Open in 1999, U.S. men are now 1-60 against opponents ranked in the top 10 at the clay-court tournament.
