Here are 5 things to watch for in the Champions League this week.

The Champions League semi-finalists will be determined this week through the four second leg ties from the last eight. This is what to look out for during the action. Match of the Week The most delicately poised quarter-final showdown will place at San Siro, where Inter host Bayern Munich, who lead 2-1 courtesy to Davide Frattesi's late victory in Germany. That ended Bayern's five-year, 22-game unbeaten streak at home in Europe, leaving them with a difficult challenge in Milan, despite winning all four of their previous road games against Inter. However, of the 23 prior occasions in this competition that the Nerazzurri have held a first leg lead, they have advanced in 21 of them, albeit one of those eliminations did come last season against Atlético de Madrid. The last six meetings between the teams have also resulted in three wins each, keeping this one very much open and all to play for. 🔎 Team to watch.

In the summer of 2025, the top 10 Bundesliga players' contracts expire.


A number of well-known Bundesliga players are nearing the end of their contracts as January draws near.

Here are the top 10 Bundesliga players who are currently scheduled to become free agents in the summer of 2025, ranked by value according to Transfer market:

10. Hoffenheim's Jacob Bruun Larsen Value at market: €6 million

The former Borussia Dortmund player has played more and produced some outstanding performances since Christian Ilzer became coach of Hoffenheim. It's still unclear if he will sign a new deal with Hoffenheim or move on to another team.

9. FC Bayern's Thomas Müller Value at market: €6 million

The Bayern veteran has not yet stated if he will sign a new short-term deal with the team he has played for his whole career. Alternatively, if he chooses to further his career, a transfer to the MLS might be an option.

8. Wolfsburg's Ridle Baku (Value at market: €7,000,000)

For some time now, there have been rumors that Baku, who can play both right-back and right-midfield, is searching for a new challenge this summer. The 26-year-old, who has been with Wolfsburg since 2020, has been linked to a move to Galatasaray.

7. Ruben Vargas, Augsburg (€7 million on the market)

Despite reports that Sevilla, Villarreal, Borussia Mönchengladbach, and Eintracht Frankfurt were interested, Augsburg has confirmed that Ruben Vargas will not be extending his contract. There may be a shift in January.

6. Eric Dier, FC Bayern (€8 million on the market)

Thomas Tuchel gave Dier a fair amount of playing time when he joined Bayern, but the Englishman hasn't played much since Vincent Kompany took over because the Belgian coach doesn't like his lack of speed. It looks extremely likely to be a summer exit.

5. Hoffenheim's Tom Bischof Value at market: €12 million

Bischof has drawn interest from almost all of the Bundesliga's major teams after an extremely successful season thus far, with Bayern Munich reportedly leading the battle to sign him. Hoffenheim is making every effort to convince him to stay, but it might not be easy.

4. Bayer Leverkusen's Jonathan Tah (market value: €30 million)

Last summer, Tah expressed interest in joining Bayern Munich, but Leverkusen and the Bavarians were unable to agree on a transfer deal. Although the center back still wants to depart, Barcelona seems to have surpassed Bayern in the competition to sign him.

3. FC Bayern's Leroy Sané (market value: €45 million)

Although Sané has stated that he is willing to remain at Bayern, there are increasing concerns regarding his future there. According to recent sources, the winger is expected to go since he needs to be more reliable in order to land a new contract.

2. FC Bayern's Alphonso Davies (market value: €50 million)

Alphonso Davies and Bayern Munich have been negotiating a new deal for a while, but they haven't been able to come to an agreement because of salary disputes. The future of the Canadian international is still up in the air, despite recent reports that the parties have moved closer to a deal.

1. FC Bayern's Joshua Kimmich (market value: €50 million)

Given how important the Germany captain is to Vincent Kompany's squad, Bayern is eager to sign Kimmich to a new contract. The 29-year-old has undoubtedly put himself in a good negotiation position, and if the Bavarians want to keep him, they might be prepared to drop their original plan to lower his salary.

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 ...
