Arsenal and Liverpool face PSG snub
Paris Saint-Germain are tipped to rebuff Arsenal and Liverpool over Bradley Barcola.

But it's claimed the French giants still regard the 22-year-old as vital for their long-term plans.
However, the Gunners in particular are looking at even more high-profile frontline options than Barcola in the summer transfer window
Those include Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko.
Meanwhile, both Liverpool and Arsenal are also said to have not yet given up hope on recruiting Newcastle main man Alexander Isak.

Harvey Elliott taunts Germany with wild gesture as England win Under-21 Euros
Harvey Elliott appeared to taunt Germany with an offensive gesture moments after England won the Under-21 European Championship for the second time running. England dramatically defended their European crown in Slovakia with a 3-2 victory after extra-time on Saturday night. Lee Carsley's side got off to a stunning start as they scored twice inside 25 minutes with Elliott sweeping home his fifth goal of the competition before Omari Hutchinson added a second. England created chances at will as they threatened to put the game to bed early but Germany were level before on the hour mark, forcing extra time. Minutes after coming off the bench at the end of the 90, Jonathan Rowe stooped to steer home a wonderful header.

It was enough to clinch the title and spark jubilant celebration for the England squad and staff. Liverpool midfielder Elliott certainly enjoyed the celebrations and was seen taunting someone off camera, cupping his ears before sticking two fingers up in their direction with the moment picked up by Channel 4's live feed of the match. While it was not clear who specifically the gesture was aimed it, it appeared to be directed at the opposition. Moments later, Elliott was seen in relatively friendly conversation with Germany's Nick Woltemade, who at almost two meters tall, towered above the Liverpool star. To crown an unforgettable night, Elliott was also named Player of the Tournament. England won the last edition of this competition in 2023, beating Spain in the final before defending their crown tonight. 'I'm so proud, not of myself but of the players and the commitment that they have shown the last 28 days,' head coach Carsley said. More Trending 'All the instruction we have tried to give to them, they have taken in on board so quickly. 'They have so much belief, this squad believe that they can win. And that is the kind of players we need. 'To be European champions for a second time is a great achievement and I supposed the challenge now is to do it again in two years.'

Toulouse edge out Bordeaux to secure third straight Top 14 crown
PARIS, June 28 (Reuters) - Toulouse claimed their third consecutive Top 14 title and a record-extending 24th French championship by beating Bordeaux Begles 39-33 after extra time in a dramatic final on Saturday. Thomas Ramos kicked two penalties in the last five minutes for Toulouse after Bordeaux's Maxime Lucu had converted a penalty on the hooter to take the game into extra time at 33-33. A try from Anthony Jelonch and a brace from Jack Willis put champions Toulouse in control of the match but Damian Penaud, Matthieu Jalibert and Guido Petti also crossed the tryline to keep Bordeaux in touch. Petti and Pierre Bochaton were shown yellow cards and Toulouse, missing talisman Antoine Dupont, won their 11th consecutive final, a year after routing Bordeaux Begles 59-3 in the title match. "Emotions are unbelievable. The scenario is crazy", Jelonch said on France TV. "We were exhausted after 80 minutes, we played 100. When you see all the players' emotions, this one is the most beautiful of all." Bordeaux's Jalibert said he was proud of his side. "We were strong but the coin didn't fall on our side", the fly-half said on France TV. "I think we can keep our heads up. I'm proud of the team because after last year's disappointment, we wanted to come back here." After Toulouse and Bordeaux traded penalties, the holders capitalised on Petti's yellow card to score the opening try when Jelonch found a gap in the defence. Bordeaux responded quickly, however, when Penaud latched on to Maxime Lucu's kick to touch down. Willis restored Toulouse's lead with a powerful finish from a driving maul just before halftime and the English flanker crossed for a second try after Jalibert had dotted down under the posts for Bordeaux. Lock Petti kept the game alive when he went over from a wide position for Bordeaux before Lucu sent the game into extra time. France internationals Romain Ntamack and Louis Bielle-Biarrey did not reappear after halftime, the former due to a shoulder injury while the latter was playing his first match after suffering a concussion.

Club World Cup is the worst idea ever implemented in football
The new-look 32-team tournament started earlier this month, with the final taking place at the MetLife Stadium in New York on July 13. The Premier League resumes a month later, with Liverpool kicking off their title defence in the opening game of the season against Bournemouth on August 15. 16 teams remain. The road to #FIFACWC glory is set. 🛣️🏆 — FIFA Club World Cup (@FIFACWC) June 27, 2025 Klopp has previously spoken about issues such as fixture congestion and in an interview with German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, he suggested the Club World Cup will not provide any 'real recovery' for those players involved. 'It's all about the game and not the surrounding events – and that's why the Club World Cup is the worst idea ever implemented in football in this regard,' Klopp said. 'People who have never had or do not have anything to do with day-to-day business any more are coming up with something. 'There is insane money for participating, but it's also not for every club. 'Last year it was the Copa (America) and the European Championship, this year it's the Club World Cup, and next year the World Cup. That means no real recovery for the players involved, neither physically nor mentally.' After leaving his role as Reds boss last summer, Klopp became Red Bull's head of global soccer at the start of 2025. He added: 'I have serious fears that players will suffer injuries they've never had before next season. If not next season, then it will happen at the World Cup or afterwards. 'We constantly expect the players to go into every game as if it were their last. We tell them that 70 or 75 times a year. But it can't go on like this. 'We have to make sure they have breaks, because if they don't get them, they won't be able to deliver top performances – and if they can't achieve that any more, the entire product loses value.'
