Soccer-Bayern's Musiala says 'no one to blame' for leg-break at Club World Cup
(Reuters) -Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala said no one was to blame for the horrific leg-break he suffered in their Club World Cup quarter-final against Paris St Germain, adding on Wednesday that "situations like this happen".
The 22-year-old sustained a fibula fracture with a broken and dislocated ankle following a collision with PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma at the end of the first half.
The Germany international, who was taken off on a stretcher, flew back from Atlanta to Munich where he had surgery and is expected to be sidelined for a few months and miss the start of the new season.
"The surgery went really well, I'm in good care and I wanted to say there's no one to blame for this," Musiala said in an Instagram post.
"I think situations like this happen and now I'm just going to use the next period of time to build up my strength and positivity again."
Donnarumma looked visibly shaken following the injury and said after the match that his "prayers and well wishes" were with Musiala.
Bayern manager Vincent Kompany was very upset about the incident, saying shortly after the 2-0 defeat that he had "rarely been so angry."
Musiala finished the season with 21 goals and eight assists in all competitions as Bayern won the Bundesliga title.

‘Nothing to lose': Chelsea aim to defy odds and deny PSG clean sweep in Club World Cup decider
EAST RUTHERFORD (New Jersey), July 12 — Chelsea must somehow try to stop an irresistible Paris Saint-Germain side from adding the Club World Cup trophy to their UEFA Champions League title as the final of the first edition of FIFA's expanded competition takes place on Sunday. PSG travelled to the United States fresh from becoming European champions with a stunning 5-0 demolition of Inter Milan in Munich in late May, and they have lived up to their favourites tag at the Club World Cup. Luis Enrique's side put four goals past Atletico Madrid in the group stage, four more past Lionel Messi's Inter Miami in the last 16, and then proved too strong for Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals. They appeared to hit new heights as they tore apart Kylian Mbappe's Real Madrid in the last four, when their 4-0 winning margin could have been far greater. The Parisians now stand on the verge of an extraordinary achievement, as they look to complete a clean sweep of trophies in this marathon 2024/25 season and add the world title to their French and European crowns. 'That is the objective we have had since the beginning but it is always very difficult to achieve these things — very few teams can do what we are trying to do,' said Luis Enrique after the semi-final. PSG are therefore overwhelming favourites for the game which will be played at the 82,500-capacity MetLife Stadium in New Jersey — with the Manhattan skyline as a backdrop — and which is set to be attended by Donald Trump. However Desire Doue, one of their standout performers during a remarkable campaign, insisted there were no concerns about complacency. 'We are not over-confident, not at all,' France international Doue told reporters before PSG trained at Rutgers University, south of New York City, yesterday. 'We have been favourites for most matches in this competition and throughout this season, but what matters is what we do on the pitch.' Chelsea have plenty of reason to believe too, with Sunday's game finally wrapping up a campaign in which they won the UEFA Conference League and also finished fourth in the Premier League to qualify for the Champions League. While PSG lost to Botafogo during the group stage, Chelsea were also beaten by Brazilian opposition in Flamengo. However, they have gone on to defeat Benfica as well as two other Brazilian teams, Palmeiras and Fluminense, to reach the final.

We have to go out there and play our football, be confident and hopefully try to surprise everyone,' defender Levi Colwill said yesterday. PSG's record against English opposition in 2025 shows the size of task facing Chelsea — the French club faced four Premier League teams in the Champions League and beat them all, from Manchester City and Liverpool, to Aston Villa and then Arsenal. 'It is a super high-level game. They are one of the hottest teams in the world at the moment but this is the final, a one-off game,' said Reece James. 'Everyone has them down as strong favourites but I have been in many finals before where we have been favourites and we have not come out on top. 'I don't really care that everyone is bigging up the opposition. We are just preparing in the right way and we are going out to win.' The match brings down the curtain on a month-long competition that FIFA is already hailing as a huge success. But concerns over the heat of an American summer have plagued the tournament, with Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez saying yesterday that playing in the middle of the afternoon was 'very dangerous' — Sunday's game will kick off at 3:00 pm local time (1900 GMT). Whatever happens in the final, the tournament has already been a huge success for the participants from a financial viewpoint. Chelsea and PSG are assured to go home with over US$100 million in prize money, with the definitive amount to become clear after the final — that money will be particularly welcome for Chelsea after they were recently fined by UEFA for breaching financial rules. — AFP

PSG's success lies in team ethic, not individual stars, says manager Luis Enrique
EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey: Paris St. Germain manager Luis Enrique emphasised on Friday that the key to his side's resurgence is a collective team ethic rather than reliance on individual brilliance, as the French and European champions prepare to face Chelsea in Sunday's Club World Cup final. The Parisians, buoyed by their historic Champions League triumph a little over a month ago, are chasing their first Club World Cup title. Luis Enrique has overseen a significant transformation at PSG, replacing departing stars Neymar, Lionel Messi, and Kylian Mbappe with a dynamic, youthful squad that embodies his total football philosophy. Speaking at a press conference at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, the Spaniard downplayed suggestions that he is the team's central figure, instead crediting the players' shared commitment to a common goal. "I'm not a star... I like the work I do. I enjoy my career, especially during difficult times," Luis Enrique said. "When things aren't going well, I feel better. It's nice when everything works out because the best thing about winning is making the people who follow us happy. I've been much better when I've been criticised than when I've been praised." Luis Enrique, who previously guided Barcelona to Champions League glory, hinted that this campaign could be among the finest of his managerial career but stressed that success would only be defined after Sunday's final. "Maybe this could be the best season of my coaching career. But there's still a final to win. When we've won it, we'll talk about it," he said. The Spaniard also highlighted the volatile nature of football, citing Manchester City's recent struggles as a cautionary tale. "We've seen Manchester City, for example. They won everything last year and then they lose 10 games and they're crushed. Pep Guardiola is still the best coach in the world and they're killing him. So I prefer criticism over praise because it makes you feel humble, it's the crude reality." Luis Enrique reiterated his vision for a team-first approach, declaring, "We have to be a team with eleven stars, not just one or two. Not even eleven, maybe thirteen, fifteen stars... The real star should be the entire team. That's what our club stands for. We'll lose again soon, for sure. We want stars, but in the service of the team." PSG's clash with Chelsea promises to be an enthralling encounter, with both sides vying to add a coveted international trophy to their respective honours. The Parisians will be aiming to cap off a groundbreaking year by lifting the Club World Cup for the first time in their history. — REUTERS

Chelsea's Maresca braces for "game of chess" against PSG in Club World Cup final
EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey: Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has likened Sunday's Club World Cup final against Paris St. Germain to a game of chess, as the Blues prepare to face the Champions League holders and Ligue 1 giants in a highly anticipated clash. Speaking to reporters on Friday at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium, Maresca emphasised the tactical nature of the showdown, which pits his side against Luis Enrique's PSG. "I really love chess and I see many similarities between chess and football," Maresca said. "At a tactical level, I don't believe in chess moves during matches but the manager must react when another manager reacts. "Of course, this will be a tough chess match against Luis Enrique but we will try to enjoy it, for sure." Maresca, who has guided Chelsea into the final with a mix of defensive solidity and attacking flair, was full of admiration for his opposite number. "For sure, PSG and their manager, Luis Enrique, are a reference not only for me but for many people who love football. I believe they have an incredible team, and their coach is, along with Pep Guardiola, the best in the world right now," he said. "This is a team composed of incredible players. It will be a difficult and great challenge but we have our style. We've shown the way we want to do things." Chelsea's semi-final victory over Brazilian side Fluminense saw new signing Joao Pedro make a big impact, scoring twice in the 2-0 win. However, Maresca remained tight-lipped about whether the £60 million (US$81.01 million) forward, acquired from Brighton & Hove Albion last week, would feature in the starting line-up for the final. "Joao Pedro is a very good player. We bought him because we think he will help us. He has great quality," Maresca said. "We have 48 hours before the final. We are lucky we can choose different options. We'll see for the final if he's going to play." The French and English sides, two of European football's most powerful and richest clubs, will compete for the honour of being the first champions of FIFA's expanded competition, created with the promise of revolutionising club football and as a curtain-raiser for the 2026 World Cup in North America. — REUTERS
