Kvaratskhelia on for unprecedented treble after Napoli Scudetto
Paris Saint-Germain star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is currently on course for an unprecedented treble, as he will receive a league winner's medal after Napoli's Serie A title victory on Friday night, as well as a Ligue 1 medal and potentially one in the Champions League to go with it as well.
Napoli have been crowned champions of Italy for the second time in three years after a 2-0 victory against Cagliari on Friday night. Inter pushed them until the very end, but were unable to overtake in their final match of the season, despite a 2-0 win away against Como.

Why Kvaratskhelia could win three medals in one season
Kvaratskhelia began the 2024-25 season with Napoli and made 17 appearances in Serie A, contributing with five goals and three assists, which places him among the club's top five league goalscorers this season.

He left the Partenopei to join PSG for a €70m fee during the winter transfer window, and has since gone on to provide four goals and three assists in 14 Ligue 1 appearances in France as well.
As he has played in both squads this season, Kvaratskhelia will receive winner's medals from both Napoli and PSG this season after both teams won their respective league titles.
The Georgian will have an opportunity to make it an unprecedented treble when he and PSG go up against Serie A representatives Inter in the Champions League final taking place in Munich next Saturday, May 31.

Portugal vs Spain Prediction & Nations League Betting Tips: Champs to Retain Title
Holders Spain come into the final as clear favourites after their win over France (Getty) Portugal vs Spain Betting Tips Spain to win, both teams to score - 12/5 Bet365 Lamine Yamal to score anytime - 2/1 William Hill The 2025 Nations League final takes place in Munich this weekend as two of the world's best international sides face off at the Allianz Arena. Roberto Martinez's Portugal side will take on Spain after the Selecao beat host nation Germany in the semi-finals thanks to a 68th-minute winner from a 40-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo. Advertisement La Roja came through their own difficult semi-final tie against France to make the final, with another stellar showing from Lamine Yamal originally helping them go 4-1 up only for Les Bleus to almost force extra-time with a late 5-4 comeback. And a long Nations League campaign all comes down to this in Munich, with each side looking to take home an international trophy before moving on to their respective World Cup qualifying campaigns. European champions and current holders Spain are the early favourites priced at 4/9 to lift the trophy, while Portugal, who won the inaugural Nations League tournament in 2019, are offered at 13/8 with football betting sites. Nations League Final Prediction: Spain to Clinch Second Straight Crown Despite the obvious talent in the Portugal team, it is holders Spain who enter the match as 17/20 favourites to win in normal time, compared to the odds of 29/10 offered for the Selecao. Advertisement Spain's tag as European champions and their recent dominant displays mean that it's hard to bet against Luis de la Fuente's side on current form, though the quick turnaround in the match against France shows that they can be vulnerable at times. Spearheaded by a young core including Yamal, Pedri and players such as Dean Huijsen, Spain have not lost a single match since winning Euro 2024, and have scored 25 goals in their last 10 games. However, matches like the ones against France and the Netherlands show that they do have defensive weaknesses at times, and they did require penalties to get past the Dutch in the quarter-finals. Portugal will look to take advantage of the kind of lapse in concentration that allowed France to almost pull the game back, with Spain having kept just three clean sheets in their last 10 matches. In addition, Martinez's side have only failed to score on two occasions in the last 10 games, so you'd think they'll have a chance of finding the net in the final. Advertisement To that end, while we think La Roja are clearly favourites for a reason, we think a wager on Spain to win and both teams to score could provide value at around 5/2 with various betting sites. Nations League final prediction 1: Spain to win, both teams to score - 12/5 Bet365 Nations League Betting Tips: Yamal to Make The Difference Barcelona youngster Lamine Yamal seems to be taking the fight for the Ballon d'Or personally at this point, attempting to answer everything that Ousmane Dembele produces with goals and assists of his own. And while the Frenchman's Champions League success means he'll probably grab the prestigious individual award, Yamal will clearly have plenty of chances to win it himself in the next few years. Advertisement His performance against France produced two goals to take his tally to three in the last three matches for La Roja, and three in the knockout stages of this competition. Overall, the 18-year-old has scored five goals in five matches in all competitions (for club and country) as the season approaches its end, and has continued to dazzle since his notable performances in the Champions League semi-finals last month. With that in mind, we think a wager on the youngster to score in the final could present value at 2/1 on betting apps. Nations League final prediction 2: Lamine Yamal to score anytime - 2/1 William Hill Responsible gambling When having a bet, it's vital to practice responsible gambling.

When does transfer window close? Liverpool's deadline for signing Florian Wirtz
Liverpool is looking to get its business done early on in the transfer window, with Jeremie Frimpong already through the door and prodigious Hungarian goalkeeper Armin Pecsi joining him on Saturday. Pecsi, 20, has been signed for a fee that could rise to $2 million and is expected to play for Liverpool's Under-21 team next term, while also benefiting from training alongside Alisson and Giorgi Mamardashvili. Advertisement The signing that the majority of Liverpool fans are most excited about, though, is that of Florian Wirtz, who is expected to secure a move to Anfield from Bayer Leverkusen. It emerged last month that Wirtz had decided he wanted to join Liverpool over Bayern Munich, and the Reds have been working to try to get a deal over the line in recent weeks. READ MORE: Liverpool transfer news LIVE: Florian Wirtz medical, next signing imminent, Milos Kerkez latest READ MORE: Liverpool sent Jack Grealish message as big summer continues to take shape When does the transfer window close? Liverpool is hopeful of tying up a deal for Wirtz before the first transfer window of the summer closes on Tuesday, June 10, but even if the deal is not done by then, the second window of the summer opens less than a week later and runs until the beginning of September, so the Reds will not panic if Wirtz's signature hasn't been secured by June 10. Advertisement The new transfer window that opened on June 1 was introduced so that clubs participating in this summer's revamped Club World Cup could make signings ahead of the tournament getting underway in mid-June. Liverpool made an improved bid to sign Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen late this week, hoping to end the transfer saga that started in mid-May. In the late evening on Friday night UK-time, it was reported that the Reds had upped their bid to a figure of $153 million (£113 million) — around $135 million (£100 million) base and up to around $18 million (£13 million) in add-ons. Liverpool is working on a deal for Wirtz -Credit:Getty Images understands that this is the case as negotiations continue with Leverkusen, with the player convinced on the move. Advertisement Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano recently claimed that Liverpool is "advancing" to complete the Wirtz deal in the coming days, with negotiations in the "final stages." It's claimed the player will then travel to Merseyside to complete his medical. This bid is thought to be below Bayer Leverkusen's valuation of the player, thought to be around $170 million (£126 million).
