🤯 Shock in the Kings League: German side beat Spanish champions
The 'KINGS WORLD CUP CLUBS' is in full swing and the last German team still in the tournament had to win today to avoid being knocked out. The 'KINGS WORLD CUP CLUBS' features the best teams from all Kings Leagues around the world. For the Futbolistas Locos, it was a knockout game today to make it to the round of 16. Advertisement And that against none other than the Spanish champions Ultimate Móstoles. The Spanish league is also considered, along with the Brazilian league, one of the strongest Kings Leagues in the world. But the Futbolistas Locos managed the impossible and narrowly beat the clear favorites in a penalty shootout. The Germans took the lead with a targeted shot from Rebronja in the sixth minute. This 1:0 lead held until Honorato's long-range shot in the 18th minute. The Spaniards had previously had several good chances, which were parried by the outstanding Dreesen. Just before halftime, the Spaniards even took the lead. Advertisement With a double strike in the 30th minute, including a President's Penalty by Chefstrobel, the Futbolistas Locos were back on the winning track. Just before the end of the match, the score was 4:4, and in the event of a draw, the Kings League plays in the Golden Goal mode from the 38th minute, including extra time. That means, whoever scores, advances! But no goals were scored in this intense final phase, so it came to a penalty shootout. There, each shooter has five seconds to beat the goalkeeper in a one-on-one duel starting from the halfway line. The penalty shootout was then the hour of the goalkeepers, who only let in one of the five penalties each. Dreesen and Segovia made the shooters despair and provided a real thriller. Advertisement After the regular shooters, it was the turn of the two unbeatable ones themselves: Dreesen went first and converted his penalty coolly in the best striker manner. Now Segovia was under pressure - he had to score. But Dreesen saved the penalty. One can only tip one's hat to his performance, not only in the penalty shootout, but throughout the entire game. The Futbolistas Locos are now in the round of 16 against Unit3d from France. How far do you think the journey of the Futbolistas Locos will go? Write it in the comments!

Liverpool: Bitter Bayern issue bizarre Club World Cup statement after Florian Wirtz snub
Bayern Munich chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen has issued a statement underlining the German club's credentials in the wake of missing out on no1 transfer target Florian Wirtz to Liverpool. Bayer Leverkusen star Wirtz is understood to have chosen to move to the Reds this summer over the Bavarian giants, and talks over a fee expected to a British transfer record are underway between the two clubs. Wirtz had been publicly courted by Bayern for months, to the extent that it reportedly made the player uncomfortable. Other reports in German claim that Bayern manager Vincent Kompany failed to impress Wirtz when outlining his plan for the player. As such, Liverpool won the race for the star. Bayern are now focusing on the Club World Cup, which Liverpool are not in. A fact Dreesen was at pains to point out. "Much more has been written than spoken," Dreesen told TZ. "FC Bayern is one of the absolute top clubs in Europe and the world. Our appeal among fans, but also among players, is enormous. "The fact that not every player will end up with us is simply part of the package; it's the same for other top clubs. But everyone knows: with FC Bayern, you can win everything every year, you're involved in every competition – the upcoming Club World Cup is a good example of that. "Just look at which clubs are represented there – and, most of all, which (clubs) aren't. The best European clubs are competing there – including FC Bayern. Our appeal, sporting ambitions, and economic power are well known to all top players around the world."

Bayern chief slams Canada Soccer again over Davies injury - World
Bayern Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen doubled down on his criticism of Canada Soccer on Saturday, saying their handling of Alphonso Davies' injury was "astonishing". The German giants had threatened legal action after Davies returned from the international break with a torn anterior cruciate ligament this week. Canada Soccer initially gave the 24-year-old the all-clear after he went off injured in his side's 2-1 CONCACAF Nations League play-off win over the USA in California. But an examination in Munich revealed he had torn his ACL, ruling him out for at least six months and prompting Dreesen to accuse the Canadian federation of "gross negligence" in an interview with tabloid Bild. Speaking to reporters after Bayern's 3-2 win over St. Pauli on Saturday, Dreesen said Bayern were in touch with Canada Soccer and would write to them next week demanding an explanation. "It can't be that you put a player on a flight without a bandage on his knee and not notice that he has torn his ACL," said Dreesen. "It can't be that you don't send a scan, when Los Angeles has, I think, the highest density of MRT facilities per capita of anywhere in North America. I find that astonishing," he added. In a statement to The Athletic on Friday, Canada Soccer spokesman Paulo Senra defended the federation's handling of the injury. "Medical documentation confirms that proper care protocols were followed, and communication records show that our medical staff provided updates to Bayern Munich throughout the entire tournament," he said. Yet Dreesen appeared to dismiss this on Saturday. "They told us he had got a kick in the sixth minute. But I could see that much on TV, that wasn't very surprising information," he said. The Bayern CEO added that the club were considering their next steps. "What we do next depends on the answers we get to our questions," he said. Davies is part of a wider wave of injuries which has ravaged Bayern's defence in recent weeks. Manuel Neuer is still yet to return after tearing his calf while celebrating in a Champions League win over Bayer Leverkusen last month. Bayern have also lost centre-back Dayot Upamecano to a leg injury, while fellow defender Hiroki Ito had to leave the pitch during Saturday's win.

Bayern Munich threatens Canadian soccer federation with legal action over Davies' injury
Bayern Munich is considering legal action against the Canadian soccer federation following Alphonso Davies' serious knee injury in a match of little importance. "We're demanding a full investigation into the events from Canada Soccer and expressly reserve the right to take legal action," Bayern chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen told the Bild tabloid on Friday. Davies tore a ligament and sustained other damage in his right knee during Canada's 2-1 win over the United States in the third-place decider for the CONCACAF Nations League tournament on Sunday. Davies returned to Munich where the full extent of the injury was determined on Wednesday. The left-back underwent surgery and "will be out for several months," Bayern said. The club is alleging that Canadian officials did not provide appropriate care for the player. "Sending a clearly injured player with a damaged knee on a 12-hour intercontinental flight without a thorough medical assessment is, in our view, grossly negligent and a clear breach of medical duty of care," Dreesen said.

"The participation of Davies, who already had muscular problems before the game, in a match of no sporting significance is incomprehensible from our point our view," Dreesen said. Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund agreed, saying the treatment of Davies after his injury was "incorrect." "Phonzy complained of fatigue. He's the team captain, a young lad who wants to help his country. Then there's this injury," Freund said. "I think it's negligent, unprofessional." Davies is out for the rest of the season and will miss Bayern's final games as it bids to wrap up the Bundesliga title and reach the Champions League final at its home stadium in Munich. Bayern faces Inter Milan in the quarterfinals. French defender Dayot Upamecano also returned from Nations League duty with a less serious knee injury. Upamecano played the entire quarterfinal return leg against Croatia on Sunday, including extra time, and scored the winning goal in the penalty shootout. The French soccer federation said he played a total of 128 minutes. The injuries to Davies and Upamecano deny coach Vincent Kompany options in defence with South Korea's Kim Min-jae already out injured.
