France, led by star striker Kylian Mbappe, will face Austria in their opening match of Euro 2024 at the Düsseldorf Arena on June 18. The match will be officiated by Spanish referee Jesús Gil Manzano, known for his strict officiating and sending off high-profile players. France seeks a strong start after their early exit in Euro 2020 and a runner-up finish in 2016.
Kylian Mbappe has officially announced his departure from Paris Saint-Germain, ending months of speculation about his future. The French forward will join Real Madrid as a free agent, leaving the Parisian club after seven seasons. Mbappe’s exit marks the end of PSG’s ‘galactico’ era, which also saw the departures of Lionel Messi and Neymar in recent years.
Kylian Mbappe’s imminent departure from Paris Saint-Germain will be marked by Sunday’s home game against Toulouse, as the club reflects on its Champions League elimination. Despite the European disappointment, PSG aims to complete a clean sweep of domestic honors. Mbappe, who has scored 43 goals this season, hopes to add to his club-record tally before leaving for a rumored move to Real Madrid.
Borussia Dortmund defeated Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 on Tuesday to reach the Champions League final, with Mats Hummels scoring the lone goal in the second leg of their semifinal tie.
Despite the presence of star forward Kylian Mbappe, PSG was unable to overcome a resolute Dortmund defense and will now finish the season without a major trophy.
Dortmund will face either Real Madrid or Bayern Munich in the final on June 1 at Wembley Stadium in London, while Mbappe is widely expected to join Real Madrid.
With Euro 2024 just around the corner, players will be keen to take advantage of the major tournament to prove their worth and potentially earn a big move to one of Europe’s biggest clubs. Here are some of the players who could be on the move after Euro 2024.
Paris Saint-Germain is reportedly pursuing Barcelona’s young talent Lamine Yamal as a potential replacement for Kylian Mbappe, who is expected to join Real Madrid this summer. PSG is preparing a £172 million offer for the 16-year-old Spanish sensation, who has caught their attention as they seek a quality attacker to fill Mbappe’s void. The club’s sporting director, Luis Campos, has a strong relationship with Yamal’s agent, Jorge Mendes, which could aid in the negotiations. Yamal made history as the youngest player to record an assist in the Champions League quarter-finals, further showcasing his potential. Meanwhile, PSG aims to secure the French league title once again with a win against Lorient and a potential loss for Monaco against Lille.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is on the cusp of securing a record-extending 12th Ligue 1 championship title as they face a pivotal match against Lorient on Wednesday. A victory over the relegation-threatened side and a simultaneous slip-up by AS Monaco against Lille would seal the title for PSG. This crucial fixture marks the culmination of a season clouded by speculation over Kylian Mbappé’s anticipated departure to Real Madrid at season’s end. Under manager Luis Enrique, PSG holds an 11-point lead in the French top flight with five games remaining. Their ambitions, however, extend beyond domestic success as they seek to secure a potential treble this season, having already reached the French Cup final and the Champions League semifinals.
