Fluminense dominate but only manage a draw with Borussia Dortmund 📹
Fluminense dominate but only manage a draw with Borussia Dortmund 📹 Fluminense was superior in practically the entire match held at the Metlife Stadium in New Jersey. But they lacked the "detail" of scoring a goal. Which ensured the 0 x 0 draw for the Tricolor against Borussia Dortmund this Tuesday (17). Advertisement A match that opened Group F of the Super Club World Cup. And guaranteed a prize of 1 million dollars for each. Flu SUPERIOR already in the 1st Half Fluminense took control of the actions right from the start. They held the reins of the game and had greater possession. And besides having more volume, they created the best chances. Arias was - as expected - the protagonist. Engaging in a personal duel with Kobel. Dortmund posed a threat with Adeyemi's unpredictability. Coming off a great season, Guirassy tried but was unsuccessful. Fluminense knew how to position themselves well even without the ball. Advertisement With personality, the Tricolor went into the break superior. However, they failed to make the most of the good football they displayed. Attempts The Tricolor's mentality did not change after the break. The first real chance was from Everaldo, who had the opportunity to finish in a counterattack but opted for Canobbio. Everaldo forced Kobel into a great save before being substituted by Cano. Kovac bet on the debut of Jobe Bellingham. And later, they regained more speed on the field. BVB managed to attack more. And only forced Fábio into a great intervention after the 90'. 📊 Standings and Schedule 📅 Both teams will play again on Saturday (21). Advertisement The Tricolor will continue playing at the MetLife Stadium. This time they will face Ulsan HD. And from 7 PM (Brasília time). Earlier (1 PM), BVB will face Mamelodi Sundowns at the TQL Stadium in Cincinnati. Also on Tuesday, Ulsan and Mamelodi will face each other starting at 7 PM (Brasília time) to close the first round.

🤯 Cristiano Ronaldo is Fifa's dream for Club World Cup, here's why
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇧🇷 here. FIFA would have Cristiano Ronaldo as a "trump card" to boost the ticket sales of the Super Club World Cup, which already features Lionel Messi. The situation of the Portuguese star at Al-Nassr is closely monitored by the entity, which would like to have CR7 playing for a team that will compete in the tournament starting on June 14 in the United States. This is highlighted by the investigation of Ryan Mitchell, from Marca. Al-Nassr has been collecting frustrations in recent weeks. This is what gives such "hope" to FIFA. The defeat to Benzema's Al-Ittihad last Wednesday (7) left the team 11 points behind the rival - who is the leader - with 12 points left to play for in the Saudi League. 📸 FAYEZ NURELDINE - AFP or licensors A result that came after the surprising fall in the Asian Champions semi-finals to Japan's Kawasaki Frontale - who would be runner-up to Firmino's Al-Ahli. The risk of ending the season without a spot in the next Asian Champions is real, something that could change the renewal plans. At this moment, Al-Nassr is the fourth place in the Saudi Pro League with 60 points. Al-Ittihad (71), Al-Hilal (65) and Al-Ahli (61) are taking the three spots. There is also Aubameyang's Al-Qadsiah in the competition (59). See the complete classification and remaining games here. At 40 years old, CR7 had very advanced talks to extend his contract for two more seasons - until June 2027. The current one will end on June 30. Something that is no longer seen as something "lined up", as highlighted by As last week. Al-Nassr's 2024/2025 also had a runner-up in the Saudi Super Cup and a fall in the round of 16 of the Saudi King's Cup. Remember that FIFA has created a window for signings for the World Cup. Which will open on June 1 and goes until the 10th of the same month. Will we have Robozão and Messi competing in the same tournament? 📸 Yasser Bakhsh - 2025 Getty Images

🚨 It's official: Brazil confirm Carlo Ancelotti appointment
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇧🇷 here. Now it's for real! The CBF has confirmed that Carlo Ancelotti will be the new coach of the Brazilian National Team. The 65-year-old Italian will take over the position in time for the matches against Ecuador and Paraguay on June 5 and 10, for the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. "Bringing Carlo Ancelotti to command Brazil is more than a strategic move. It's a statement to the world that we're determined to regain the top spot on the podium. He's the greatest coach in history and now he's in charge of the greatest team on the planet. Together, we'll write new glorious chapters in Brazilian football," said Ednaldo Rodrigues, president of the entity. Ancelotti's farewell to Real Madrid will be on the 24th of this month, a Saturday, with Vini Jr., Mbappé & Co. hosting Real Sociedad at the Bernabéu. He had a contract for another season - until June 2026 -, but there was an agreement for the termination. Xabi Alonso, who has already announced his departure from Bayer Leverkusen, is likely to be his replacement already in the Super Club World Cup. Real Madrid still has a small chance of winning the La Liga title, since Barcelona has opened a seven-point gap with nine matches remaining. The 2024/2025 Madrid season is likely to end with only the conquest of the UEFA Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup against Pachuca. Call-up without a coach The names of the 23 called-up players for the matches against Ecuador and Paraguay need to be sent to FIFA by next Sunday (18). The trend is that Rodrigo Caetano, director of national teams at CBF, and former defender Juan, current technical coordinator, will be responsible for choosing the athletes. Ancelotti will make his debut as the coach of the National Team on the aforementioned June 5. The match will be against Ecuador at the Monumental de Guayaquil (without altitude). Then, on the 10th, the challenge will be against Paraguay at the Neo Química Arena. The Brazilian National Team has 21 points, occupying the fourth position. Paraguay (21 and fewer wins) and Colombia (20) close the direct qualification zone for the 2026 World Cup. Venezuela (15) is getting closer to the playoff spot.
