So let's look forward.
Let's take a look at some of the clubs, some of the big clubs that have qualified for next year's Champions League, and decide what it is that they either need or what it is that they should be looking forward to.
Let's start with the winner, PSG, Christian, what are you thinking?
We might have a back to back Champions League winner because PSG were so unbelievably.
And and it's hard.
A 5-0 result makes it like, were PSG that good or were Inter Milan that bad?
And I think it's a it's a mix of both of those with the, the dominance they showed the confidence of not just their, you know, quote unquote star players like even the, the, everybody contributed.

Enrique is the new pet.
I think he is ushering in a new style of football, a new era of football, right?
Inter Milan, obviously.
Loss in the in the final, you have to apologize.
It is that bad.
This is a scar that will follow them forever.
Liverpool fans obviously wanting to win the Premier League for a long time.
They won a couple of years ago and now I think they can win it all.
Winning your domestic league and then winning these cup competitions require different mindsets, different preparation.
You have to have the consistency to finish, uh, uh, you know, to win.
Uh, during the season they seem like they're gonna be a stronger squad than last season that they, that this is their opportunity to win it all.

Yeah for me it's proven bappe damn, you moved from PSG access, bro.
I need to get out of here.
I can't win with y'all fools.
And then you're holding me down, man.
I need to, I need to breathe a little bit, bro.
I need to lift trouble.
Oh, you won the lottery.
And then nothing.
And then they win.
Arsenal, why don't you go first?
I'm gonna say, look, simply put, sign a striker and then talk to me because there is not much else.
I think they had a great Champions League run.
They, they faced APSG that we saw how dominant they were.
The, the quality was just a little too much for Arsenal, but I. I think Arsenal that far behind.
Advertisement
If, if they're not gonna do uh some work this summer to sign a, a, a, a real game-changing striker, don't talk to me.
Don't, I don't wanna hear about your ambitions to do whatever.
Convince players to sign for your team.
Tell them about the project, get them excited, and they should see you as a uh uh a contender.

🔥 Hojlund to Inter, Inzaghi eyes move 👀 Frattesi to Roma 🤑
Just a few days before the start of the Club World Cup, the transfer market is taking center stage and giving us the first moves of a summer that promises to be very hot. The coaching carousel has filled the post-championship days so far, but player negotiations are not lacking. Here are the most important market news of the day. Juventus, attempt for Inzaghi Simone Inzaghi's future remains a mystery. The Inter coach, whose contract expires in 2026, after the heavy defeat in the Champions League final, has fueled uncertainty with a "I don't know if I'll be in America" that leaves many doubts. Will he continue with Inter or will it be goodbye? Tomorrow, the former Lazio coach will meet with the Nerazzurri management to understand what the future will be, but the presence of Al-Hilal in the background is looming. Advertisement The Saudi option is trying to convince Inzaghi, but it's not the only club to have made a move. Juventus made an inquiry a few weeks ago, however, at the moment, a possible transfer to the Bianconeri seems really unlikely. In addition to the Inter coach, the Old Lady has set her sights on Marco Silva and Bruno Genesio, but beware of Tudor: his goodbye after the Club World Cup is no longer so taken for granted. Milan, Maignan is a priority for Allegri The new Rossoneri chapter of Massimiliano Allegri has not yet begun in practice, but the coach from Livorno already has clear ideas about the future of his Milan. As reported by Corriere dello Sport, one of the priorities of the coach is the renewal of Mike Maignan, considered a key element in the locker room. Already last December, the parties had found a general agreement for a new contract worth 5 million euros plus bonuses. However, the elimination from the Champions League and some performances below expectations have slowed down the negotiations. Now, however, the club is ready to reopen the dialogue. Inter, Hojlund target for the attack After defining the arrivals of Petar Sucic and Luis Henrique - today in Milan -, Inter is ready to close other market deals. According to what was reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, in fact, the Nerazzurri management would have made a budget of around 40 million euros available to further strengthen the squad for the next season. Advertisement In attack, a high-level alternative to Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez is being sought, and among the monitored profiles, that of Rasmus Hojlund stands out: the former Atalanta player could leave Manchester United on loan. On the defensive front, should Yann Bisseck leave, the club is evaluating several options. In addition to Sam Beukema of Bologna, the Colombian Jhon Lucumí and Koni De Winter are also liked. Napoli, agreement with Gutierrez Not just De Bruyne, Jonathan David, and the renewal of Meret. Napoli, waiting for developments on the KDB operation, has focused on the left flank: the target is Miguel Gutiérrez, 24, a left-back from Girona. As reported by Il Mattino, there would already be a general agreement between the player and Napoli, and the white smoke could arrive soon. Sports director Giovanni Manna is in fact intensifying contacts with the Spanish club to close the operation as soon as possible. Roma, Frattesi back in yellow and red? The brief argument between Inzaghi and Frattesi at the final whistle of PSG-Inter highlighted a fundamental aspect in view of the summer market: Frattesi is not a central element in Inter, the bench in the Champions League final demonstrated this, and the midfielder is no longer willing to accept it. Advertisement The former Sassuolo player would have a starting position almost anywhere in Serie A, and the clubs ready to give him this guarantee are not lacking. According to what was reported by Roma - already interested in January - would be seriously evaluating the possibility of returning to the assault on the Inter midfielder in view of the summer market session. Lazio, Isaksen liked in Holland After Baroni's goodbye and Sarri's return to the bench, Gustav Isaksen is back at the center of market rumors. Will the Dane stay to convince the former Juve coach or will it be goodbye? His future is still to be written, but the interest from Holland can already give us a hint. According to what was reported by Il Messaggero, Feyenoord would be seriously intent on buying the Danish winger. However, the player's future will be decided by Maurizio Sarri, who will have the final say on any possible sale. Fiorentina, Gila for the post Palladino After the consensual resolution of Raffaele Palladino's contract, Fiorentina is looking for a new coach. According to what was reported by the name in pole position is that of Alberto Gilardino. Advertisement The former Genoa coach would be at the top of the Viola management's wish list. In the last few hours, contacts with his entourage would have intensified, and economic aspects are already being discussed to find an agreement that can satisfy all parties.

Enzo Raiola Confirms Inter Milan Interest In Paris Saint-Germain Superstar Goalkeeper But Insists 'There Are No Talks'
Enzo Raiola Confirms Inter Milan Interest In Paris Saint-Germain Superstar Goalkeeper But Insists 'There Are No Talks' Enzo Raiola opened up on continuous talks linking Paris Saint-Germain star Gianluigi Donnarumma with a shock move to Inter Milan. Speaking to FCInterNews, Raiola confirmed Inter's interest in the former AC Milan goalkeeper. Advertisement However, he also confirmed there's no ongoing discussion between the parties. Gianluigi Donnarumma left San Siro to join Les Parisiens as a free agent in 2021 after running down his contract at Milan. Four years later, the 26-year-old won a maiden Champions League title. Indeed, he was between the sticks as PSG romped Inter 5-0 in the Munich showpiece last weekend. Interestingly, the Nerazzurri could be the Italy captain's next club if recent rumors are anything to go by. Donnarumma's deal at the Parc des Princes runs out next summer, and he has yet to put pen to paper on a new contract. Meanwhile, Inter are in the market for a new goalkeeper as Yann Sommer set one foot in retirement. Advertisement Therefore, this could be a perfect match despite the star stopper's past. Enzo Raiola Delivers Verdict on Rumors Linking Gianluigi Donnarumma with Inter Milan LONDON, ENGLAND – APRIL 29: Gianluigi Donnarumma of Paris Saint-Germain celebrates after teammate Ousmane Dembele (not pictured) scores his team's first goal during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Semi Final First Leg match between Arsenal FC and Paris Saint-Germain at Emirates Stadium on April 29, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by) (Photo by) 'During the celebration, we also had some talks with the PSG management,' Raiola started. 'We agreed to revisit things soon, without any rush. That's fine by us. 'Gigio, actually, the day before the match, went into Inter's locker room to greet his national teammates,' he added. 'And they appreciated the gesture of affection.' When asked whether there's something going on behind the scenes amid intense rumors, he replied: 'No, just compliments.' Advertisement Then, he discussed Simone Inzaghi's sudden exit. 'I don't think it was something that just came up overnight. In my opinion, there was something already going on. 'Of course, they had to prepare for the Champions League final, but I don't believe the future was decided the day after. 'They already had the idea that the coach would leave, and they took precautions. 'There aren't that many experienced coaches available right now, but they have their priorities, and I think they'll make the right choices soon. 'After all, who wouldn't want to coach Inter? Anyone would love to coach that team and build something significant.'

MP pays tribute to former head coach after Middlesbrough part ways with Carrick
A Middlesbrough MP has paid tribute to Michael Carrick after the club parted ways with the head coach. Middlesbrough announced they had 'parted company' with Carrick and two of his coaching staff - Jonathan Woodgate and Graeme Carrick - on Wednesday (June 4). Advertisement The club finished 10th in the Championship and failed to meet their pre-season target of a spot in the play-offs, having to instead watch regional rivals Sunderland get back into the big-time after winning the play-offs to be promoted to the Premier League. But lifelong Boro fan and MP for Middlesbrough and Thornaby East, Andy McDonald, has released a statement paying tribute to the man who led the club for three years. He said: "Thank you to Michael Carrick for his service as Boro Head Coach. "He had an immediate impact and led the club to the highs of the play-offs and League Cup semi-finals. Advertisement "We wish him well." Boro said in a statement: "We'd like to thank Michael, Jonathan, and Graeme for all their hard work and unwavering commitment. We wish them all the very best for the future. "The club will be making no further comment at this stage." However, Mr McDonald's sentiment did not match that of The Northern Echo's sports reporter Dom Shaw, who admitted that, while the good under Carrick was 'very good', the rest left a lot to be desired. "In simple terms, Boro have gone backwards on the pitch," he wrote. "Last season they ended up looking up at West Brom, who lost one manager and sacked another, Blackburn, who were in a shambolic state when Boro won there in March, and Millwall and Bristol City, whose squads didn't rival Carrick's. Advertisement "What next? Well, Boro don't have a replacement lined up, but whoever comes in will be deemed a good fit for the current squad and the recruitment structure at the Riverside. Recommended reading "Gone are the days of Boro having to rip it up and start again when there's a managerial change. "It's a big job and an appealing job and Boro will undoubtedly be inundated with interest in the coming days." "For Carrick, there was no fairytale finish."
