HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYLE!
The 28 May is a special date in the history of the Rossoneri. On 28 May 1969, in Amsterdam, AC Milan won their second Champions Cup; on 28 May 2003, in Manchester, we won the Champions League against Juventus. Indeed, Manchester was Kyle Walker's home for many years, and on 28 May he will celebrate his 35th birthday. The English defender, who came to Milan in January, was born on 28 May 1990, just a few days after our Champions Cup in Vienna against Benfica (23 May), decided by Rijkaard's goal. Kyle's birthday perfectly fits into the history books of our Club, and it makes 28 May even more special. Happy birthday, Kyle!

Caoimhin Kelleher ‘buzzing' as he completes £18m move to Brentford from Liverpool
Goalkeeper Caoimhín Kelleher has left Liverpool to join Brentford in a £18m deal. It brings to an end a nine-year stay at the club, with Liverpool receiving an initial £12.5m for Kelleher and add-ons taking the overall fee to £18m. Advertisement The 26-year-old has signed a five-year contract with the Bees, with the club holding an option to extend the deal by a further 12 months. Kelleher is expected to take over as Brentford's first choice goalkeeper following the departure of Dutch international Mark Flekken, who has joined Bayer Leverkusen for around £11m. 'I'm buzzing, I'm really happy to be here,' said the 26-year-old. 'I don't think it was very difficult for me to leave [Liverpool]. I felt for my own career that the time was right for me to go, to be a number one and to play every week. 'I heard of some interest a number of weeks ago. Once I knew Brentford was in for me, it was definitely one I was really excited about and wanted to do as quickly as possible.' Advertisement The Irishman joined Liverpool from Ringmahon Rangers in 2015, leaves the Merseyside club having made 67 senior appearances, including 25 in the Premier League. A dependable deputy to Alisson Becker, he earned a reputation as a composed shot-stopper and was particularly instrumental in Liverpool's domestic cup runs where he memorably scored a penalty in the shootout that decided the 2022 Carabao Cup final. Over the course of his Liverpool career, Kelleher won an impressive array of silverware including two Premier League titles, the Champions League, FA Cup, two League Cups, and the UEFA Super Cup. He kept 24 clean sheets during his time with the Reds and featured in more than 40 cup matches. Despite his success, Kelleher has been open about his ambition to play regular first-team football. Speaking last month, he said: 'I think I've said it before as well that I feel like I'm a number one and I feel like I'm good enough to play week in, week out. That's what I'm looking to do.' Advertisement Kelleher's arrival signals a fresh start and a chance for the Irishman to establish himself as a first-choice goalkeeper in the Premier League. This season, Kelleher featured in 20 matches for Liverpool, ten of which came in the Premier League. However, his path to more minutes became even more complicated with Liverpool set to welcome Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili in July. The Georgian international is expected to compete with Alisson for the No. 1 spot following a £29m transfer agreed last summer. His former club Ringmahon Rangers are also set to benefit from the transfer thanks to a 20% sell-on clause included in his original move to Liverpool, netting them a substantial seven figure sum. Kelleher becomes the second major departure from Liverpool this summer, following former vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold's £10m move to Real Madrid.

🔥 Conmebol qualifiers: the table so far and what's next 🗓️
🔥 Conmebol qualifiers: the table so far and what's next 🗓️ With Venezuela's 2-0 victory over Bolivia at the Monumental de Maturín, Matchday 15 of the Conmebol Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup in Canada, the United States, and Mexico came to a close this Friday. La Vinotinto secured a crucial win against a direct rival in the race for a playoff spot, a position now held by the team led by Fernando Batista, pulling four points ahead of La Verde, coached by Óscar Villegas. Advertisement Earlier, Colombia did not have a great match in Barranquilla and could not get past a goalless draw against Peru, who celebrate the point earned, although it may not be of much use. With three matchdays left, several confirmations on the road to the World Cup On Thursday night, Argentina and Chile staged a great duel at the Estadio Nacional in Santiago, which ended with a narrow Albiceleste victory, thanks to a stunning goal by Julián Álvarez in the first half. This match, and this result, confirmed the superiority of Lionel Scaloni's team over the lowest-ranked rival in the table, but also over all the other teams in this tournament, as they have already been crowned winners of the Qualifiers, having built a 10-point lead over Ecuador, second in the standings. Advertisement Sebastián Becaccece's team, meanwhile, drew 0-0 with Brazil in Guayaquil, in a match with few thrills on the field and some extra excitement off it, with Carlo Ancelotti making his debut at the helm of the Canarinha. Another great match on Thursday was the one Paraguay played at the Defensores del Chaco, defeating Marcelo Bielsa's Uruguay 2-0, who are on a downward trend. Gustavo Alfaro's Albirroja extended their unbeaten streak to nine matches and won 'the mother of all battles,' as the coach put it, climbing to third place and, with Friday's results, confirming at least a playoff spot. Matchday 16 of the Conmebol Qualifiers will be played in its entirety next Tuesday, June 10. After that, the final double matchday will take place in mid-September.

Guilford Woods protected by Piedmont Land Conservancy
GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) — The last-standing underdeveloped woods in Greensboro will be saved. Guilford Woods is packed with rich history from the Revolutionary War to the Underground Railroad and is an oasis of ecology. Guilford Woods is where the revolutionary soldiers once walked,and the freedom seekers hid. It's a home to many ecologies. Through the Piedmont Land Conservancy and Guilford College's partnership, the area will be officially protected. To Jim Hood, a retired English professor from Guilford College and a former interim president of Guilford College, Guilford Woods is a special place. 'I spent a lot of time walking around here and learning the names of the plants and animals that lived here,' Hood said. He said in a rapidly developing suburban area, Guilford Woods is the last remaining forest that is untouched, and that is important. 'These trees clean the air. This forest cleans the water for Greensboro,' Hood said. The memories, meaning, and legacy are rooted in nature. Hood highlighted the witness tree, which is approximately 350 years old. It's a silent witness to the operation of the Underground Railroad. 'Freedom seekers hiding out in these woods on their ways to Indiana or other parts of the north to get away from the evils of slavery,' he said. Guilford College and the Piedmont Land Conservancy have teamed up to preserve 120 acres of the most valuable areas of the woods. Now, Guilford Woods can continue to be used as an outdoor classroom and financially benefit the college. 'It's a way for the college to withdraw some money from an asset that was increasing in value not in a tangible kind of way, but this makes it more tangible,' he said. For Kevin Redding, the executive director of the Piedmont Land Conservancy, retracing the steps of the revolutionary soldiers made preserving the land a cause worth fighting for. 'Hundreds of years old forest. It has the history component to it. It has the educational component to it. It has a public available recreation part of it. It has everything we would wish in a conservation property,' Redding said. The Piedmont Land Conservancy plans on raising $8.5 million through private donations. In total, they will be preserving about 245 acres of land in the area, including Price Park. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
