Emotional Ronaldo rejoices in Portugal winning Nations League
Portugal skipper Cristiano Ronaldo shed tears of joy as they won their second Nations League title on Sunday, insisting that winning trophies with his country beats all club honours.
Ronaldo's 138th international goal in the second half took the final to penalties after a 2-2 draw with Spain, with the substituted 40-year-old forward looking on from the sidelines as Portugal netted all five spot kicks to claim the title.
The triumph, which left the five-time Champions League winner in tears, was Ronaldo's third on the international stage, accompanying his 2016 European Championship and 2019 Nations League winners' medals.
'What a joy,' Ronaldo told Sport TV. 'First of all for this generation, which deserved a title of this magnitude, for our families. My children came here, my wife, my brother, my friends.

Club World Cup: Win or lose, Mamelodi Sundowns in the MONEY
The four African qualifiers for the revamped Club World Cup in the United States are set to become much richer, no matter how they fare in the 32-team tournament. The tournament will run from 15 June until 13 July. By securing places, Al Ahly of Egypt, Esperance of Tunisia, Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa and Wydad Casablanca of Morocco are each guaranteed $9.55 million (R169 million) appearance fees. The bonanza is the equivalent of Mamelodi Sundowns winning nine league titles in South Africa, the African country with the richest football prize money. A win in the group phase will add $2 million, a draw $1 million, and a top-two finish and qualification for the knockout phase $7.5 million. Winners of the premier African club competition, the CAF Champions League, receive $4 million for playing 14 or 16 matches. No side will play more than seven matches in the Club World Cup. Below, a look at the African contenders, all of whom have competed in the Club World Cup when it was an annual seven-club affair. Spaniard Jose Riveiro will make his competitive debut as coach of the Cairo Red Devils when they face Lionel Messi-inspired Inter Miami in the tournament opener on June 14. 'The best way to contain Messi is to stop the ball reaching him, but we also have a plan for him when he does receive possession,' said Riveiro. He left Orlando Pirates in South Africa in May after a three-season stint in which he won five domestic knockout trophies and reached the 2025 Champions League semi-finals. Ahly have been busy in the transfer market, signing former Aston Villa striker Mahmoud 'Trezeguet' Hassan from Turkish outfit Trabzonspor and winger Ahmed 'Zizo' Sayed from arch Cairo rivals Zamalek. The Blood and Gold from Tunis will be coached by one of their former stars, Maher Kanzari, after Romanian Laurențiu Reghecampf was axed in mid season having been in charge for only four months. Kanzari delivered a domestic league and cup double, but they made a timid exit from the Champions League in the quarter-finals. Esperance boast a star striker in Algerian Youcef Belaili, whose seven goals placed him second in the Champions League Golden Boot race. The four-time African champions have struggled in previous Club World Cup appearances, finishing fifth twice and sixth once. Sundowns are a club under a cloud after losing 3-2 on aggregate to Pyramids recently in a CAF Champions League final they were expected to win. It was the second successive Champions League final loss for Portuguese coach Miguel Cardoso, who was in charge of Esperance when they lost the 2024 final to Ahly. Many Mamelodi Sundowns supporters were unhappy that Cardoso did not use fit-again veteran midfielder Themba Zwane in either leg of the title decider. Mamelodi Sundowns are captained by goalkeeper Ronwen Williams, who created history at the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations by saving four shootout penalties to take South Africa past Cape Verde in a quarter-final. Masandawana have been drawn in relatively easy looking Group F alongside German team Borussia Dortmund, Brazil outfit Fluminense FC and little-known South Korean side Ulsan HD FC. Mamelodi Sundowns' matches are as follows (all times SA): Wednesday, 18 June vs Ulsan – 00:00 Saturday, 21 June vs Borussia Dortmund – 18:00 Wednesday, 25 June vs Fluminense – 21:00 The Casablanca outfit sacked South African coach Rhulani Mokwena as the Moroccan season drew to a close after he failed to secure a 2026 Champions League slot for the three-time continental champions. He was replaced by local Mohamed Benhachem, who transformed a team that had drawn six consecutive domestic league matches into one that ended the campaign by winning three in a row. Wydad have signed Burkina Faso midfielder Stephane Aziz Ki from Young Africans of Tanzania and Dutch defender Bart Meijers from Bosnia and Herzegovina club Borac Banja Luka. They are the only African contenders who will not face a Brazilian club in the group phase, but are not expected to advance from a section including Manchester City and Juventus.

Ronwen Williams confident Sundowns can get out of group at Club World Cup
In a strong statement of intent, Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper Ronwen Williams believes they have what it takes to get out of their group at the 2025 Fifa Club World Cup in the US. The Brazilians are in Group F with Ulsan HD from South Korea, Borussia Dortmund and Fluminense from Brazil with matches taking lace in Orlando, Cincinnati and Miami respectively in the new format of the Club World Cup, which has been expanded from seven to 32 teams. Williams and his men start their campaign with a tricky clash against Ulsan at Inter & Co Stadium next week Wednesday where they will be looking for a good start before clashes against tougher Borussia and Brazilian outfit Fluminense. 'We believe we have enough to get out of the group, which will be huge for the club,' Williams said.

We want to show people who Sundowns is at the competition.' Sundowns travelled to the US on the back of the Caf Champions League final to Egyptian side Pyramids FC. Williams said the Tshwane giants have put that disappointment behind them. 'We have used the recent few days of rest to reflect on the Champions League loss through our chats and most importantly it was important to stay away from each other because we played many games and travelled a lot this season. 'The past five days away from each other helped us to re-energise and get the spark back. It was devastating to take that defeat but we have to go again. 𝐀 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐎𝐟𝐟! ✈️ Supporters gathered at Chloorkop to watch Masandawana train and share their messages of support, as the team make their way to the #FIFACWC.💛 Watch the full recap on YouTube 📲 #Sundowns … — Mamelodi Sundowns FC (@Masandawana) June 9, 2025 'As Mamelodi Sundowns, there is always another opportunity and it does not get any bigger than this. We can't be mourning for too long, we have to be up for it because this is probably the biggest club competition. 'When we returned to training last week, you could see the energy and spark is back and those five days were good for us. It would have been perfect to wrap up the Champions League and go to the Club World Cup as continental champions. 'We could have gone with confidence but now we have to dig deep. It was probably the hardest defeat of my career and for the team because of how much we sacrificed and how hard we worked to get there. 'We said we would go all the way and do it but now we have to go back [to the drawing board] again. We have to lift ourselves, no-one is going to do it for us. 'While people are on holidays, we are on another flight and that is how amazing it is to be part of Sundowns because they are always looking at the next tournament.'

Manchester City's Pep Guardiola speaks out against Gaza atrocities after receiving honorary doctorate
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has been awarded an honorary degree by the University of Manchester. Image: Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola condemned the killing of innocent children as a result of Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza after receiving an honorary doctorate from the University of Manchester. At a ceremony at Manchester's Whitworth Hall, Guardiola was presented with an honorary doctorate by the University's Chancellor, Nazir Afzal 'for his extraordinary contribution to the city over nine years on and off the pitch'. The award is in honour not only of his sporting success but for his inspirational work away from football, including through his family foundation, the Guardiola Sala Foundation. Guardiola joined City in 2016 and has helped the team secure six Premier League titles - including four in succession - and a Champions League trophy. Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Israel's ongoing military assault in Gaza has killed at least 54,880 people, mostly civilians. There is currently also a famine in the area, as Israel has also blocked food and aid to the Palestinian people. During his acceptance speech, Guardiola says he has been deeply hurt by the current situation, especially the bombing of innocent children and hospitals. "It's so painful what we see in Gaza. It hurts my whole body. And let me be clear, it's not about ideology. It's not about whether I'm right, or you're wrong,' the Manchester City manager said. 'Come on. It's just about the love of life, about the care of your neighbour. Maybe we think that we see the boys and girls of four years old being killed by the bomb or being killed at the hospital because it's not a hospital anymore. It's not our business. "We can think about that. It's not our business. But be careful. The next one will be ours. The next four or five years old kids will be ours. Sorry, but I see my kids when I wake up every morning since the nightmare started with the infants in Gaza. And I'm so scared. Maybe this image feels far away from where we are living now. And you might ask what we can do.' Guardiola also spoke on the importance of standing up for what's right and not taking the backseat, thinking about what might happen if one speaks up. 'There is a story I'm reminded of. A forest is on fire. All the animals live, terrified, helpless, helpless. But the small bird flies back and forth, back and forth to the sea, back and forth, carrying drops of water in this little beak,' said Guardiola. 'The snake laughs and asks, 'why, bro? You will never put the fire out'. The bird replies, 'yes, I know it'. 'Then, why do you do it again and again?' The snake asks once again. 'I'm just doing my part'. The bird replies for the last time. 'That is, the bird knows it doesn't stop the fire, but it refuses to do nothing. In a world that often tells us we are too small to make a difference, that story reminds me the power of one is not about the scale. It's about choice. About showing up, about refusing to be silent, or still when it matters most,' he added. @JohnGoliath82
