The FIFA Club World Cup is set to take the global stage and two legendary managers explain how it will have an impact on fans and the 2026 World Cup.
Sports Seriously
Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan square off Saturday in the UEFA Champions League final in Munich, the long-awaited climax of the tournament crowning Europe's greatest club.
PSG enters as the favorite after knocking out Brest, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal en route to the final. Inter Milan took down Feyenoord, Bayern Munich and Barcelona on the other side of the bracket, returning to the final two years after losing to Manchester City.
WHAT IS THE CLUB WORLD CUP? Questions, curiosity before FIFA's new tournament begins
Only one French club (Marseille, 1993) has ever won the tournament and PSG failed to do so while employing some of the world's biggest stars in Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe in recent years. Inter Milan last lifted the trophy in 2010 and previously won European titles in 1964 and 1965.

What time is the Champions League final today?
Saturday's UEFA Champions League final is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. ET.
The Allianz Arena in Munich is hosting the 2025 Champions League final. Home of German club Bayern Munich, the stadium previously hosted the the 2012 final with Chelsea defeating Bayern in penalty kicks.
Prior to kickoff, Linkin Park performed on the field at the Allianz Arena. The group won Grammy Awards in 2002 and 2006, the latter for a collaboration with Jay-Z.
The French capital was getting ready on Saturday morning for the evening's Champions League final between PSG and Inter Milan, with shops and police tightening security while fans shared excitement.
Although the match will be held in Munich, a PSG victory would be expected to spark celebrations in the club's home city which could escalate into disturbances, and 5,400 police officers are deployed ahead of the game.
Thousands of PSG fans are expected to gather in the city to watch the match on screens at various locations including the Parc des Princes. France's famed Le Fouquet's brasserie on the Champs Elysees avenue barricaded its windows, so did some banks and other shops. Police were preventing cars from parking on the avenue.

Inter Milan will dress for the occasion by wearing their third, golden yellow kit in Saturday's Champions League final when they face PSG in Munich.
Since the Parisians are designated as the home team in the final, they will wear their first-choice kit - navy blue shorts and shirts with a white and red stripe in the centre - so Inter cannot play in their classic black and blue striped jerseys.
The Italians, however, did not opt for their second strip - white shirts with blue details – choosing to wear the third kit instead, a golden yellow shirt with black details and black shorts.

Once the poster boy for unfulfilled potential, Ousmane Dembele has emerged as the unexpected protagonist in PSG's Champions League run.
Dembele's scoring renaissance has led to a compelling new chapter in a career previously defined by tantalising glimpses of genius interrupted by frustrating inconsistency. The statistics tell a story of almost alchemical transformation: 32 goals in 40 appearances in all competitions, including 21 in Ligue 1, more than in his previous five seasons combined.

Luis Enrique's Ligue 1 champions, backed by owners Qatar Sports Investments, have been impressive in Europe with a cohesive brand of football that marks a clear departure from the star-driven, sometimes disjointed squads of PSG's recent past.
"They (PSG) buy into their coach's game plan, you can see it, and it shows in everyone's activity," former PSG coach Luis Fernandez, who led the club to their only European title in the Cup Winners' Cup in 1996, told Reuters. "No-one's playing the star, even though they're all stars, and I admire that."
Since Qatar Sports Investments took control of the club in 2011, big-spending PSG have dominated domestic football but have fallen short in Europe, with their only previous Champions League final ending in defeat by Bayern Munich in 2020.

A season which once promised so much for Inter Milan now hangs on Simone Inzaghi's experienced side beating PSG, giving Saturday's decider in Munich the feel of a last-chance saloon for the Italian club.
Inter, hurting from a failed league title defense, also seek redemption for the lost final two years ago against Manchester City in Istanbul and, for many of the club's elder statesmen, this will be seen as their ultimate opportunity. Inzaghi now has the difficult task of getting his team back on their feet after the players were on their knees only last Friday when the Serie A Scudetto went to Napoli on the final day of the season.
"The championship just concluded left us with something to remember," Inzaghi told reporters on Monday. "There is a lot of suffering in myself and in the players, it's pointless denying it."

PSG captain Marquinhos knows what it is like to lose a Champions League final and is not going to let a second chance slip without a fight when they face Inter Milan in Munich, the Brazilian defender said on Friday.
Marquinhos was a member of the PSG side which lost the 2020 final to Bayern Munich, but has the opportunity for redemption as the club look to secure their first Champions League trophy on Saturday.
"We've been through highs, we've been through lows," Marquinhos told reporters. "Tomorrow we've got a beautiful opportunity. We could go down in history. This would be great for the club, for the players.
"This is my second chance to win a Champions League final and I'm not going to go down without a fight."

Chelsea weighing up £50m bid for Borussia Dortmund's Jamie Gittens
Chelsea are weighing up a bid for Jamie Gittens after holding talks with Borussia Dortmund over the England Under-21 winger. Gittens, who is expected to cost around £50m, is one of several names of interest to the club as they look to bring in a new wide player before heading to the Club World Cup later this month. Bringing in a right-footed winger capable of playing on the left flank is a priority for Chelsea, who are also set to announce a £30m deal for the Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap. Advertisement Chelsea have tracked Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams, who is likely to prove too expensive, and were interested in Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho in January. There were concerns at the time over Garnacho's attitude. A move for Gittens, who previously spent time in Chelsea's academy, would fit with the Stamford Bridge club's strategy of targeting young players. The talks with Dortmund also come amid uncertainty over whether or not Chelsea will meet an obligation to make Jadon Sancho's loan from United permanent for £25m. Some key figures within the club are not sold on signing the winger, citing his inconsistent form this season, but a deal is possible if Sancho agrees to reduce his salary. Chelsea must pay a £5m penalty clause if they send the 25-year-old back to United. It is set to be another busy summer at Stamford Bridge, with Enzo Maresca also hoping to sign a new centre-back after leading his side into the Champions League and winning the Uefa Conference League. It remains to be seen if the arrival of Delap will be followed by the arrival of another striker. Chelsea like Eintracht Frankfurt's Hugo Ekitike but see him as too expensive at £84m. There is long-term interest in RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko, who is wanted by Arsenal. Nicolas Jackson's future will be up in the air if two strikers arrive. A host of outgoings are factored into Chelsea's planning and it is understood they are open to offers for Noni Madueke. The England winger joined from PSV Eindhoven in January 2023 and scored 11 goals in all competitions last season, but there is a feeling that the 23-year-old's development has stalled. Christopher Nkunku and Joao Felix, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Milan, are other attackers up for sale. Advertisement Chelsea have an extensive list of players up for sale. Robert Sánchez and Djordje Petrovic are on the market for clubs looking for a new goalkeeper. Renato Veiga, Ben Chilwell, Axel Disasi are out of favour in defence and Wesley Fofana's fitness problems mean that suitable offers for him will be hard to turn down. Chelsea tried to sell Trevoh Chalobah last summer. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Carney Chukwuemeka and Lesley Ugochukwu are available after making little impression in midfield and Raheem Sterling, who has two years left on his £325,000 a week contract, has no future at the club after a disappointing loan at Arsenal.

Rabiot gives availability to Milan after Allegri appointment
Former Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot has hinted that he would be open to joining Serie A rivals Milan after the appointment of former Bianconeri head coach Massimilano Allegri towards the end of last week. Allegri has returned to Milan on a two-year contract with an option for a further 12 months, 11 years after he first left the Rossoneri. He replaces Sergio Conceicao, whose tenure in San Siro lasted almost exactly six months. Advertisement Rabiot, who spent five years with Juventus, three of them under Allegri, left Turin last summer, not long after the coach was given his marching orders.

(Photo by JAVIER SORIANO / AFP) (Photo by JAVIER SORIANO/AFP via Getty Images) The Frenchman has gone on to play a key role in Roberto De Zerbi's Olympique de Marseille side, contributing with 10 goals and six assists from 31 matches in all competitions this season. While he remains under contract with the Ligue 1 club for another year, until the summer of 2026, Rabiot says that he will 'always be available to talk' with Allegri. Rabiot: 'I will always be available to talk to Allegri' In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, published on Monday, Rabiot revealed that colleagues often refer to him and Allegri as being like father and son.

Now that we've qualified, it would be great to be able to play in that stadium in that environment,' Rabiot said when asked if he would be open to joining Allegri in Milan. Advertisement 'I talk with Allegri often,' he continued. 'Giovanni Rossi, De Zerbi's advisor, also works with him and when he calls, he says 'come here, I'll pass you onto your dad'. 'I can talk about everything with Allegri, not just football. I really appreciate him as a person. He has a winning mentality. And of course, if he calls me, I will always be available to talk to him.'

‘Don't settle for this': Postecoglou wants ambition from Tottenham after Europa League success
LONDON (AP) — Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has urged the club to show ambition after ending its 17-year trophy drought as he awaits a decision on whether he will stay on for a third season at the English team. Tottenham claimed its first piece of major silverware since 2008 by beating Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League final last month, earning in the process a spot in next season's Champions League. Postecoglou remains in the dark about his future, though, with his status affected by Tottenham's 17th-placed finish — its lowest since the Premier League was founded in 1992. In an interview with Australian Broadcasting Corp. — published Monday — while on a family holiday in Greece, Postecoglou said he hasn't wanted to let the club 'just enjoy the moment' because he 'wanted us to think about what's next.' 'Don't settle for this,' he tells ABC's Australian Story. 'We've got a taste of it now. My players have got a taste for it. The club's got a taste for it. Well, let's make sure we're back here again.' Those comments explain why, during Tottenham's trophy parade, the 59-year-old Australian declared in front of tens of thousands of fans in north London: 'Season three is always better than season two.' However, away from winning the Europa League, Tottenham has been on a downward trajectory in the Premier League since the team's strong start to Postecoglou's first season in charge. This season, he clearly made Europa League success the priority over results in the Premier League, rotating heavily and protecting the fitness of various key players. Tottenham lost 22 of its 38 league games and that woeful record has increased the scrutiny and pressure on Postecoglou. 'That was when the laser focus came in,' Postecoglou said in Australian Story when explaining why he essentially sacrificed the league. 'Every decision I made was around, 'Well, how do we navigate this to get to where we want to?'' ___ AP soccer:
