😵 More VAR drama: Germany unlucky against France again
Even in the second half, the DFB team is still lacking luck in the offense. Once again, it's the referee and VAR who have something against a German goal. After he had already taken back a penalty in the first half and instead rated it as a dive by Karim Adeyemi, it now hit Niclas Füllkrug. He went into a robust duel with Adrien Rabiot in the 53rd minute and passed the ball on to Deniz Undav, who remained ice-cold in front of the goal and pushed in for the supposed equalizer. But after VAR review, referee Ivan Kruzliak rated Füllkrug's tackle as a foul and took back the goal. Advertisement What do you think of the actions? Was Füllkrug's duel really a foul? Should the referee have blown the whistle immediately? Let us know in the comments! This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Juventus reignite interest in Germany international at Borussia Dortmund
Thursday's reports claim that Juventus are once again interested in striking a deal with Borussia Dortmund for Germany international Karim Adeyemi in the summer transfer window, but much depends on both sides' Champions League status for 2025-26. As things stand, Juventus are in fourth place with two matches of the Serie A season to go, although Lazio are level on points, Roma are just one behind and Bologna two off the top four with Europa League qualification already guaranteed after winning the Coppa Italia on Wednesday night. Advertisement Dortmund, meanwhile, sit in fifth place in the Bundesliga standings, one point behind Freiburg with just one league match left to play in 2024-25. Die Borussen need Freiburg to drop points in their final game of the season against Eintracht Frankfurt if they are to qualify for the Champions League. Champions League race leads Juventus to Adeyemi According to Thursday's reports, the Champions League situation leaves Adeyemi in an uncertain position with Dortmund, and he is likely to leave if Dortmund do not finish the Bundesliga season in the top four. Tuttosport claims that Juventus will be in a position to offer Adeyemi an escape route if they qualify for the Champions League themselves.

(Photo by) The 23-year-old is on a contract that runs until the summer of 2027, which earns him a reported €3m per season in wages, which Juventus would be ready to increase if they are able to strike a deal in the summer transfer window. Advertisement Adeyemi, who has six caps for the Germany national team, has 12 goals and nine assists from 35 appearances in all competitions this season, for a goal involvement every 101 minutes this term. Juventus are not the only side interested in acquiring his services though, as Napoli had also enquired after his availability following Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's January move to Paris Saint-Germain, while Tuttosport claims that Chelsea are also keen ahead of the summer transfer window.

Dortmund crash Alonso farewell with 4-2 in Leverkusen; Frankfurt held
Dortmund's Julian Ryerson celebrates scoring his side's second goal during the German Bundesliga soccer match between Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund at BayArena. Marius Becker/dpa Borussia Dortmund spoilt the home farewell party for coach Xabi Alonso with a stunning 4-2 triumph at Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday to keep their Champions League ambitions alive. Julian Brandt, Julian Ryerson, Karim Adeyemi and Serhou Guirassy reversed Leverkusen's lead from Jeremie Frimpong for Dortmund's sixth victory from seven unbeaten games. Jonas Hofmann got a late second for Leverkusen who suffered their third season defeat, all at home. Advertisement Champions League possible Dortmund in fifth are all but certain to play in Europe next season, and one point behind Freiburg can still snatch fourth place for a Champions League berth on the final matchday Saturday. Freiburg close at home against third placed Eintracht Frankfurt and Dortmund take on relegated Holstein Kiel. Frankfurt were held 2-2 by St Pauli which means that Dortmund should move into the top four as long as they win by two goals, regardless of the outcome in Freiburg. "Today was very important. We had to suffer in the first half, were a little lucky and had an outstanding goalkeeper. We were then clinical after the break," Dortmund defender Waldemar Anton told streaming portal DAZN. Advertisement Brandt expressed hope that "we can end the season in the best possible way" after what he named "a rollercoaster" earlier in the campaign, where they had been 10 points off the top four just a few weeks ago. Alonso and Tah farewell Alonso, who famously led Leverkusen to a historic unbeaten Bundesliga title and the German Cup last season, was honoured by club bosses amid "Xabi, Xabi" chants from the fans, after confirming on Friday he would be leaving after the season, possibly for Real Madrid. He later also celebrated with defender Jonathan Tah, who is leaving after 10 years, in the stands with the diehards. Advertisement "His impact was huge, his aura. He is a top coach and a top person. We took a big step forward over the two and a half years," Tah said. Alonso said: "It is the end of a super era in my life. They (Leverkusen) gave me the chance to become a coach, They gave me trust and support. I am very proud and I will be forever thankful to Bayer." Leverkusen dominate but Dortmund hit back On the pitch, Leverkusen started determined to give Alonso a successful home send off and after several missed chances took the lead in the 31st when Frimpong fired into top left corner after a one-two with Florian Wirtz. Advertisement Dortmund levelled out of the blue from former Leverkusen player Brandt two minutes later, and completed the turnaround from Ryerson's low shot in the 43rd for 2-1. Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel made a number of extraordinary saves, including against Wirtz and Amine Adli who then also headed against the crossbar shortly before half-time. Dortmund clinch it Second-placed Leverkusen were not as dominant after the break, and Dortmund decided the game for good when Adeyemi emphatically fired into the top corner in the 73rd, before Guirassy raised his season tally to 20 four minutes later with a low shot. Advertisement Hofmann's goal in stoppage time made the result a little less painful for the hosts. Frankfurt held by St Pauli and face CL berth final Frankfurt failed to secure their Champions League spot with the draw against St Pauli who are effectively safe, three points and 13 goals better than third last Heidenheim. Rasmus Kristensen gave Frankfurt a dream start 24 seconds into the game. Pauli reversed matters from Manolis Saliakas' looping ball into the far corner in the fourth and Morgan Guilavogui in the 16th but Michy Batshuayi drilled the equalizer in the 71st. Frankfurt are two points above Freiburg and three clear of Dortmund, and their goal difference is just three better than that of Dortmund who have scored three more. That means they could slip out of the top four with defeat and a Dortmund victory by two goals. Advertisement Stuttgart end home rot In the late game, VfB Stuttgart ended a run of six straight home defeats with a 4-0 victory over 10-man Augsburg in mid-table from Atakan Karazor in the eighth, Nick Woltemade in the 51st, Enzo Millot in the 80th and Ermedin Demirovic in the 87th. They are however sweating on the fitness of influential Angelo Stiller, who limped off two weeks before their Cup final after being fouled by Samuel Essende which resulted in a red card for the Augsburg player in the 12th minute.
