The Southampton manager is furious at the contentious Liverpool penalty call.

Ivan Juric, manager of Southampton, feels Liverpool should have been given a penalty in the second half of their 3-1 loss at Anfield on Saturday. Will Smallbone gave the Saints an unexpected lead in stoppage time of the first half, but Darin Nunez quickly erased the lead. Mo Salah scored two penalty penalties in the second half to give Liverpool the victory, but Juric thought the first one was unfair. There didn't appear to be much in the area as Smallbone and Nunez collided, but referee Lewis Smith gave the penalty. Juric, the Southampton manager, is furious at Liverpool's penalty call. "They responded quite well," Juric said to BBC Sport. "We had some excellent first-half situations. The match was altered, in my opinion, by the [first] penalty, which was not a penalty. I'm happy with the way we performed today. "This can never be a punishment. Since it was 1-1 and somewhat altered the outcome, I apologize for what happened. Many of our yo...

Barcelona is eager to part ways with their captain for a subsidized rate.


Regarding Frenkie de Jong's future at Barcelona, a recent SPORT article has disclosed an important development.

Unless the Dutch midfielder agrees to extend his contract, the team does not want him to be part of their plans for the upcoming campaign. His recent on-field difficulties and persistent injury concerns seem to have played a role in this choice.

De Jong had a memorable 2024 campaign, filled with obstacles on and off the field. An ankle ailment has further hampered his rehabilitation, and his form has suffered.

He is far from the guy who used to dominate the midfield with ease, and this season sticks out as the most challenging he has had since joining the Catalan team.

Hansi Flick likes him.

Manager Hansi Flick had earlier expressed confidence in De Jong, encouraging him and detailing a big role for him on the team.

However, Flick made it obvious that De Jong needed to be in peak physical condition to fulfill the expectations of Barça's competitive environment.


Unfortunately, his ongoing medical troubles with his ankle have kept him from reaching peak performance.

This setback has directly impacted his role in the squad. Rising stars like Marc Casado and Gavi have eclipsed him in the midfield pecking order, leaving De Jong with few opportunity to demonstrate his quality.

Barcelona are apparent.

In the upcoming months, Barcelona's sporting management is getting ready to explain their stance to De Jong. He will probably be told that he is not included in the club's plans for the upcoming season if he refuses to accept a contract extension.

Even if it means selling him for less, the club is prepared to pressure him to find a new home by the summer.

Barcelona is also reportedly adopting a tough approach in contract discussions. Should De Jong consent to a renewal, the terms will be shortened. This is the only practical option the club sees for extending his stay.

An arrangement might be finalized by early summer if he accepts. If not, the team is willing to allow him to leave and bench him for the whole last year of his contract.

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 ...
