Liverpool star Mohamed Salah proved right as PSG destroys Inter Milan
Paris Saint-Germain is the champion of Europe for the first time after thrashing Inter Milan in the Champions League final.
Ever since Liverpool exited the competition, the French giant had been tipped by many as the favorite to lift the trophy, and that is exactly what it has done after putting Inter to the sword in Munich.

Achraf Hakimi opened the scoring before Desire Doue netted on either side of half-time, while ex-Liverpool transfer target Khvicha Kvartskhelia and Senny Mayulu also got on the scoresheet in the second half.
Inter may have scored seven goals over two legs in the semi-final against Barcelona, but Simone Inzaghi's side was no match for Luis Enrique's exciting crop of youngsters.

While PSG's assignment in the final came against Italian opposition, the Ligue 1 champion reached the final by beating three Premier League clubs in consecutive rounds.
Prior to knocking Aston Villa and Arsenal out in the quarter-finals and semi-finals respectively, PSG eliminated Liverpool in the last 16 by winning a penalty shoot-out at Anfield after a 1-1 aggregate draw.
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah recently recalled that defeat, and said how he believed at the time that Liverpool had been beaten by the best team in Europe.
"I have to be honest. PSG had a very good first leg. We were so lucky," Salah told L'Equipe. "Alisson had the best game of his career at Liverpool. They were very unlucky.

"Then they came to Anfield and we were the ones who were unlucky because we hit the post two or three times, they saved balls on their line once or twice. So we were unlucky, too.

"In this match, everything was 50/50. Who deserved to qualify more? No one could say. We had a very good second leg, they had a very good first leg. And you lose on penalties... sometimes it's your day. Sometimes it's mine. It was their day.
"No one would say, 'They deserved it 100 per cent!' No. The first leg, yes. The second, no. It's the same for us. The second leg, yes. The first, no. It was their day and I shook the players' hands afterward, I said to them: 'Congratulations, go win it!' and that was it.

"We were in great form all season, and in March alone, we had a bit of a slump. And we are playing the best team in Europe at that time. They had a rise in form and we reached the same point."
PSG's thumping victory in the final proved Salah knew what he was talking about when he anointed Enrique's side the best in Europe.

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.

Max Verstappen blames frustration for a 'move that was not right' after colliding with Russell
Max Verstappen said Monday that frustration caused 'a move that was not right and shouldn't have happened', a day after he initially seemed unrepentant over his collision with George Russell at Formula 1's Spanish Grand Prix. Verstappen had been asked by his Red Bull team to give up a place to Russell following an earlier incident between the two drivers when he hit Russell's Mercedes. The race stewards ruled Verstappen had 'suddenly accelerated' before the collision and Russell said it 'felt very deliberate'. The stewards gave Verstappen a 10-second penalty which dropped him from fifth to 10th and left him 49 points off standings leader Oscar Piastri, who won Sunday's race. 'We had an exciting strategy and good race in Barcelona, till the safety car came out. Our tire choice to the end and some moves after the safety car restart fueled my frustration, leading to a move that was not right and shouldn't have happened,' Verstappen wrote on Instagram. 'I always give everything out there for the team and emotions can run high. You win some together, you lose some together. See you (at the next race) in Montreal.' Initially in the aftermath of Sunday's race, Verstappen had said that 'next time I will bring a tissue', responding to Russell claiming he set a poor example for young drivers. A series of setbacks The collision followed a series of setbacks for Verstappen, who had been in third and pressuring the two McLaren drivers in front before the safety car came out. Red Bull decided to bring Verstappen into the pits for fresh tires, even though the only ones he had left were slower hard-compound tires, a type that no other driver used. At the restart, Verstappen lost grip and was overtaken by Charles Leclerc, whose Ferrari made contact with Verstappen's Red Bull. Neither driver was ruled at fault for that. Verstappen then went off the track while defending against Russell and Red Bull asked Verstappen to give up the place to Russell, apparently because the team expected Verstappen would be given a penalty. The stewards later ruled they wouldn't have taken action against the Dutch driver for that incident. Risking a suspension Verstappen needs to be careful in the next two races because the penalty for the collision with Russell also brought him penalty points on his licence, taking him to 11 in the last 12 months. Drivers get a one-race suspension if they hit 12 points in a year. Two of those points expire at the end of the month, but until then Verstappen needs to get through the Canadian and Austrian Grands Prix without any further penalty points. ___ AP auto racing:

U.K. to Build Up to 12 Submarines as Part of Shift to ‘War-Fighting Readiness'
Prime Minister Keir Starmer of Britain on Monday promised to bring his country to 'war-fighting readiness' as he announced plans to build up to 12 new attack submarines and invest billions of pounds in nuclear and other weaponry as part of new military strategy for a more dangerous world. 'If you want to deter conflict, then the best way to do that is to prepare for conflict,' Mr. Starmer said in a BBC interview on Monday morning, ahead of the release of the government's strategic defense review that will outline plans to ramp up production of drones and increase stockpiles of munitions and equipment. Britain's ambitious rearmament plan comes against the gathering clouds of Russian military aggression in Ukraine, American disengagement from Europe and rising global tensions. Mr. Starmer presented his plans hours after one of the most intense aerial bombardments of the three-year war, with Ukrainian drones striking air bases deep in Russian territory. The review, led by George Robertson, a former secretary general of NATO, was set up last year soon after Mr. Starmer won a general election. But its task was given fresh urgency amid growing evidence of President Trump's weakened commitment to European security and his ambivalent and at times ingratiating attitude toward President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia. The review is scheduled for release on Monday afternoon but among the recommendations made public in advance by the government were the procurement of up to 7,000 British-built long-range weapons and the creation of a new cybercommand, alongside an investment of a billion pounds, equivalent to $1.35 billion, in digital capability. Money will be invested in protecting critical British underwater infrastructure as well as in drones which have proved highly effective in the war in Ukraine. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
