Laurent Blanc calls for sharp focus ahead of King's Cup final against Al Qadsiah
Saudi Gazette report JEDDAH — Al Ittihad head coach Laurent Blanc emphasized the need for both mental and physical readiness ahead of the team's King's Cup final clash with Al Qadsiah on Friday, highlighting the difficulty of the match and the quality of the opposition. Speaking at the pre-match press conference in Jeddah on Thursday, Blanc acknowledged the challenge ahead but expressed full confidence in his squad's ability to claim their second trophy of the season following their Roshn Saudi League triumph. 'It's not an easy match. Al Qadsiah are a strong side — well-organized, with talented players and a good coach. We're playing in Jeddah, and it will be a serious test,' said the former France and PSG boss. Blanc also underlined the impact of fan support: 'Al Ittihad fans in Jeddah are a vital part of this club's identity. Their presence tomorrow will be crucial. This is a special kind of match — we have 90 minutes to bring home another trophy.' Reflecting on the title race, Blanc noted, 'Earlier in the season, Al Hilal were the better side. But now, we're on top. My players have delivered a remarkable season, and we're one win away from making it unforgettable.' Addressing injuries — including a question about goalkeeper Rajković — Blanc clarified, 'My English might not be perfect, but I can say this: I have 22 players ready for tomorrow. Everyone is fit and available.' The Frenchman closed by praising the opponents: 'Al Qadsiah have quick and skilled players, but football is a team game. We respect them, but we don't fear them.'

Cristiano Ronaldo retains Saudi Pro League Golden Boot with 25 goals
Saudi Gazette report RIYADH — Cristiano Ronaldo has once again proven his enduring class by clinching the Saudi Pro League Golden Boot for the second consecutive season, finishing the 2024–25 campaign with 25 goals. The Al Nassr captain, who turned 40 earlier this year, topped the scoring charts ahead of Al Ahli's Ivan Toney (23 goals) in a thrilling race that went down to the final matchday. The Portuguese star delivered a consistently clinical season, contributing decisively for Al Nassr through both set pieces and open play. His sharp positioning and lethal finishing made him a constant threat in the box and reaffirmed his status as a world-class forward, even in one of the most competitive editions of the league to date. Al Ahli's English striker Ivan Toney impressed in his debut campaign with 23 goals, quickly adapting to the Saudi game and establishing himself as one of the league's most dangerous frontmen. Tied for third were Al Ittihad's Karim Benzema and Al Shabab's Abderrazak Hamdallah, each scoring 21 goals. Benzema overcame a season of injuries and internal challenges to maintain strong numbers, while Hamdallah enjoyed a resurgent campaign that reestablished him among the league's elite. Rounding out the top scorers, Colombian forward Julian Quiñones netted 20 goals for newly promoted Al Qadsiah, marking himself as one of the best signings of the season. Meanwhile, Al Hilal's Aleksandar Mitrović finished with 19 goals, despite missing several games through injury, continuing to be a crucial presence for his side. This season's Golden Boot race showcased the Saudi Pro League's attacking depth and international diversity. With scorers from Portugal, England, France, Colombia, and Serbia leading the charts, the league's global appeal and competitive standard continue to rise. Ronaldo's triumph adds another personal milestone to his career and underlines his continued relevance at the highest levels of the game.

Daily Telegraph to be sold to US firm RedBird Capital
LONDON — American buyout firm RedBird has agreed a deal to take control of the Daily and Sunday Telegraph after a two-year ownership vacuum. RedBird Capital will buy the stake owned by UAE's Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Sultan al-Nahyan who had bankrolled an earlier bid. That bid was rejected by the previous government, which passed a law preventing foreign governments owning British newspapers or news magazines. The current proposed deal will need regulatory approval. Both Telegraph titles and the Spectator magazine were put up for auction by Lloyds Bank, who seized them from the Barclay family for non-payment of outstanding debts. In a bold but ultimately unsuccessful move, a consortium of RedBird and Sheikh Mansour's IMI paid off the Barclay brothers' debts in full hoping to shortcut the auction process. However, the fact that the consortium was almost entirely funded by IMI saw the government intervene and prevent it taking majority ownership. It is thought that IMI will retain a minority stake of less than 15% in the two papers. Meanwhile, the Spectator was sold to hedge fund billionaire Sir Paul Marshall last year for £100m. The BBC understands the purchase price will see RedBird IMI get its money back in full. It brings to an end a two-year limbo period which the Telegraph staff found unsettling and left them concerned that sufficient investment and direction was lacking. RedBird founder Gerry Cardinale told the BBC he has plans to expand the Telegraph's reach and subscriber base in the US, believing there to be a gap in the market. Among other investments, RedBird Capital owns the Italian football team AC Milan. — BBC
