Kylian Mbappe scores landmark goal as France finish third in Nations League
Goals from captain Kylian Mbappe and Michael Olise earned France a 2-0 victory over Germany in Stuttgart, a success that means they finish third in this season's Nations League. Hosts of the Nations League finals, Germany were looking to bounce back from defeat in the last four against Portugal but fell behind on the stroke of halftime after Mbappe controlled and finished well to score his 50th international goal. Germany thought they had levelled through Deniz Undav early in the second half, but the VfB Stuttgart forward's finish was ruled out following a VAR review. France did, however, remain in control and should have made the result more comfortable before Mbappe squared for Olise late on to secure third spot, with Iberian neighbours Portugal and Spain facing off in the final later on Sunday. Cristiano Ronaldo's winner ensured Germany tasted defeat for the first time since last year's European Championship on Wednesday. They did start well against a France team who were beaten in a thrilling semi-final by Spain, with Florian Wirtz seeing one first-half slotted effort clip the post. Mbappe, however, made no mistake after collecting Aurelien Tchouameni's long pass. The 26-year-old now sits just one goal behind second-placed Thierry Henry in France's all-time top goalscoring charts. Undav's fine finish seemingly restored parity early in the second half, but Niclas Fuellkrug was penalised for a foul in the build-up. Had it not been for Manuel Neuer and the woodwork, France would have been out of sight long before Bayern Munich's Olise tapped home to secure victory that ends their season on a high.

NI and Aston Villa legend Peter McParland laid to rest in home city of Newry
The former forward, who won 34 caps and holds the record for most goals scored for his country at World Cup finals, was laid to rest following Requiem Mass in his home city of Newry yesterday. Mourners who gathered in St Mary's Church on Chapel Street were reminded of the five goals the last surviving member of the 1958 squad scored during the international tournament to help his country reach the quarter-finals. The parish priest recalled how the retired sportsman, who passed away peacefully on May 4 at the age of 91, had a deep affection, which was passed down to him, for 'The Villans'. 'His father worked in Birmingham during the Second World War and sent many reports home. In those days you wrote letters, and he would send home reports of Aston Villa, fuelling Peter's affection for the club,' the cleric said. McParland was an iconic figure for Aston Villa, scoring 121 goals in 341 appearances. He scored twice in the 1957 FA Cup final, helping the club secure a 2-1 win over Manchester United, which was the last time the club lifted the coveted trophy. Hailing the deceased as an 'outstanding man', the priest spoke of the footballer's journey from being scouted to spending just one day with Leeds United. 'He was only a teenager when he was signed in Dundalk after someone watched him play in Newry. In his first game for Dundalk against Bohemians, he scored twice,' the cleric continued. 'In 1951, Leeds offered him a month's trial, but he was homesick, and he said to his family: 'They didn't call me for Mass in the morning. I'm going home.' And he did. He stayed for a day with Leeds. 'He got a job in the railway company in Dundalk and continued playing for Dundalk. He went on a trip to Birmingham to play with Newry Shamrocks and he was spotted by a Villa scout. 'They alerted Villa and paid Dundalk the princely sum of £4,000.' The priest added: 'In 1957, Aston Villa were mid-table of the league. Manchester United had charged through the league and were favourites to win the FA Cup, where they would play Aston Villa. 'After six minutes, Peter headed a ball towards the goalmouth and the goalkeeper fumbled the ball. Peter charged on, and the ball, Peter and the goalkeeper finished in the back of the net. 'He went on to score a second goal and Villa won the FA Cup.' In his later years, the NI footballer played in Canada and the United States and joined Glentoran in 1968, spending three years as player-manager, winning the Irish League at the first attempt. After retiring from playing in 1971, he went on to coach in Libya, Hong Kong, Cyprus, and Kuwait. The priest reflected on how Peter was a guest of honour at Aston Villa's 150th anniversary celebrations in January this year, and quoted him saying: 'My ambition was to play for Aston Villa and I achieved it. I loved playing for the club. It was my life.' Prayers were offered for Peter's wife, Carol, who was unable to attend the funeral due to illness. Condolences were also offered to his children, Nicholas and Paul, his four grandchildren, and his siblings, before Peter's ashes were buried in the adjoining cemetery.

Luciano Spalletti to leave Italy head coach role after Moldova match
The 66-year-old announced the news during his press conference ahead of Monday's World Cup qualifier against Moldova. Spalletti came under pressure after his country's campaign began with Friday evening's 3-0 defeat away to Norway. Italy vs. Moldova will be Luciano Spalletti's last game as Azzurri head coach.#Azzurri #VivoAzzurro — Italy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (@Azzurri_En) June 8, 2025 His imminent departure – after he takes charge of the Group I meeting with Moldova in Reggio Emilia – was later confirmed by the Italian Football Federation. 'I spoke with (federation president Gabriele) Gravina last night and he informed me that I will be relieved of my duties as national team coach,' Spalletti told a press conference, according to The Athletic. 'I am disappointed: given the relationship we have, I had no intention of stepping down. Especially when things are not going well, I would have preferred to stay and do my job. 'However, it is a dismissal and I have to accept it. Defeat in Oslo. #Azzurri #VivoAzzurro — Italy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (@Azzurri_En) June 6, 2025 'I have always seen this role as a service to my country and I want to facilitate the future of the national team. I think it is right to seek the best solution.' Former Roma and Inter Milan coach Spalletti succeeded Euro 2020 winner Roberto Mancini as Azzurri boss in 2023 after guiding Napoli to the Serie A title. He has won only 11 of his 23 matches in charge of the national team and oversaw a last-16 exit to Switzerland at Euro 2024.
