London City Lionesses: How New Signings Will Boost Their WSL Campaign.

The roar from Hayes Lane is getting louder. After a historic 2024/2025 season culminating in their triumphant promotion as Women's Championship winners, London City Lionesses are not just content with making up the numbers in the Women's Super League (WSL). Under the astute ownership of Michele Kang and guided by their ambitious management team, the Lionesses have been exceptionally busy in the summer transfer window, making a series of astute signings that signal a serious intent to not just survive, but to truly compete in England's top tier. The move from Championship to WSL is always challenging. The pace, physicality, and technical demands intensify significantly. Clubs often struggle to adapt, leading to a quick return to the second tier. However, London City Lionesses are approaching this challenge with a strategic, calculated aggression in the transfer market, aiming to defy the odds and establish themselves as a formidable WSL presence.

Lewandowski dreams of a retroactive Ballon d'Or win.

Between 2020 and 2021, Robert Lewandowski had the most successful period of his career with FC Bayern. However, the Polish international did not win the Ballon d'Or. However, there are suspicions that the 2020 prize will be handed retrospectively. Lewandowski has not lost hope in this regard.

Even at the age of 35, Robert Lewandowski maintains an impressive goal-scoring record. This season, the Barça attacker has 20 goals and nine assists in 43 competitive appearances. However, the striker unquestionably had his best years at FC Bayern.

Lewandowski also sees it this way. He told Sport BILD that 2020 and 2021 were the best years of his career. A friend recently texted me this statistic: "I scored 100 goals in 85 games." In both years, the Pole was named FIFA World Player of the Year, but he was denied the Ballon d'Or.

Retrospective honor for Lewandowski? 

However, there are now suggestions that the 2020 prize may be handed retrospectively. Regardless of the delay, Lewandowski would be pleased with the honor. "Of course, I would have hoped to get the Ballon d'Or prize someday. I'm neither furious or sad since the trophy is still absent. But I believe it would have been my time in one of the two years."

The former Bayern Munich player went on to say, "I've heard there are rumors about a retrospective award for 2020." This year was fantastic for me; I was at my peak performance, and we won everything. Let's put it this way: if I were to win the Ballon d'Or 2020 four years later, I would not be offended; it would be a wonderful honour, and I would embrace the prize.

The prize was canceled in 2020 due to the coronavirus, but all associated competitions continued to take place. At the time, only the French Ligue 1 had concluded its season prematurely. That year, Lewandowski helped Bayern win the treble and was named the season's best player.

Thierry Henry was denied a joyful homecoming as France was defeated by gold medal winners Spain.

Exactly 36 years after Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Lawrie Sanchez, and others ripped up the rulebook to propel Bobby Gould's Wimbledon to a storied FA Cup victory, Thierry Henry's France fell agonisingly short of capturing an emotional Olympic gold medal in front of a sold-out Parc des Princes in Paris. Henry, who gave his young French team the nickname the 'Crazy Ones' due to their fun-loving nature, won nearly everything as a player, and despite the stars appearing to align for a historic gold medal on home turf, the Arsenal legend was overshadowed by Santi Denia's slick Spaniards in a dramatic 5-3 extra-time defeat. Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano was their unexpected late nemesis, dunking French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes with 100 minutes on the clock to startle a stunned capacity crowd. And he delivered a virtual carbon copy of that finish with the game's final kick, charging in on goal as the French flung bodies forward to slot past Restes and cruelly ...
