It's time to talk about our favorites!
Ligue 1 has come to an end this Saturday, May 17 (at least the championship part!). The 2024-2025 season has once again delighted us and made us want to highlight 15 players who have made us dream, for whatever reasons.

A little emotion and subjectivity, sometimes, doesn't hurt! Here are our three favorites (part 3).
Maghnes Akliouche (Monaco)
His fourth season in Ligue 1 is a new milestone. At 23 years old, the Monégasque midfielder is now a seasoned player whose technical finesse and elegance are appreciated. His regular performances and boldness on the ball make him a spectacular player that we can't wait to follow in the championship on weekends, and even on weekdays in European cups. Let's hope it lasts!
Dilane Bakwa (Strasbourg)
A revelation in the middle of a team that made a sensation. Dilane Bakwa surprised everyone this season. The Strasbourg left winger had a contrasting start to the season, frequently changing positions from the wing to midfield. Once integrated into Liam Rosenior's system, the former Bordeaux player became irresistible, particularly in big games. He will remain one of the key figures of this beautiful Strasbourg team that ignited the year 2025.
Malick Fofana (OL)
Another thrilling player from our beloved league of talents. At 20 years old, the Belgian gem was a bright spot in Lyon's sometimes cloudy sky. His technique, vision of the game, and dribbling stunned all observers of the championship. He finishes the season with a record of 5 goals and 4 decisive passes, and above all, an army of European admirers. Will we see him again on French pitches at the start of the season? We're keeping our fingers crossed!

FC Barcelona First Team Star's Departure Has Official Date
The departure of an unwanted star from Hansi Flick's first team star already has an official date ... More according to SPORT, which cited anonymous sources. The departure of an unwanted star from Hansi Flick's first team star already has an official date according to SPORT, which cited anonymous sources. Ansu Fati was once considered the future of the club after breaking a number of youngest goalscorer and appearance maker records at the turn of the decade as a 17-year-old. He should be considered the Lamine Yamal of his era, and likewise, the amount of minutes that a cash-strapped Barca which suffered a financial crisis put into his legs should be a cautionary tale for how to handle the Euro 2024 winner's career. Injuries have been the biggest obstacle of Ansu's trajectory, and each time it has looked as though he had a fresh chance to impress a new coach such as Xavi Hernandez or Hansi Flick, the 22-year-old has come up short. Mostly on the bench in Barca's 2024/2025 domestic treble-winning campaign after initially catching Flick's eye in preseason training but then picking up an ankle knock, Ansu has been linked with AS Monaco as of late. Reports about the loan move with a loan deal initially emerged during the last week of the season, then cooled off. Heading towards the last days of June, however, it has since re-emerged with SPORT reporting a total agreement between the two clubs in question on matters such as what percentage of Ansu's wages Monaco will pay (60% of a reported $14 million), how much the option to buy clause will be worth and what Barca would need to hand over for him to return should he kick on again in Ligue 1. Now that Ansu has passed his medical with a club that has already unveiled ex-Manchester United and Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba, his loan will be announced on July 1, which is information that has also been relayed by transfer market Fabrizio Romano. With a change of airs, Ansu might be able to enjoy his football again and show the sort of form that made Culers so excited about him around the time of the pandemic. Lamine will become FC Barcelona's new number 10 In light of Ansui's departure, the forward will hand over the number 10 shirt he inherited from FC Barcelona icon Lionel Messi according to Mundo Deportivo. The jersey's next owner will be Lamine, who will face pressure to live up to the likes of Messi and Ronaldinho that have donned it before.

FIFA Club World Cup 2025: Will Lionel Messi start for Inter Miami against PSG? Check out possible lineup and prediction
The Round of 16 clash in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup is shaping up to be a classic, with Inter Miami set to take on Paris Saint-Germain on June 29 at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. But this isn't just any matchup—it marks the first time Lionel Messi will face his former club, PSG, since leaving them in 2023. Emotions will be running high as Inter Miami's captain takes on the European champions in what promises to be a dramatic, nostalgic, and potentially history-making night. Is Lionel Messi Playing for Inter Miami? Let's cut to the chase: all signs point to Messi starting. The 38-year-old legend had a slight thigh issue in Inter Miami's 2-1 win over FC Porto, but he played the full game and looked sharp in training before their draw against Palmeiras. Fans on X are hyped, with posts saying Messi's ready to 'stick it to PSG' after his tough time there, where fans even booed him post-2022 World Cup. Inter Miami's coach, Javier Mascherano—who knows a thing or two about Messi from their Barcelona days—hinted that Leo's got extra fire for this one. 'When he's got a point to prove, he's unstoppable,' Mascherano said. Messi's been a wizard in the tournament, curling in a jaw-dropping free-kick against Porto (his 50th goal in 61 games for Miami!) and pulling the strings in midfield. Unless something wild happens last minute, expect Messi to lead the charge alongside his buddy Luis Suárez. Inter Miami's Possible Lineup Inter Miami's been rocking a 4-4-1-1 setup, letting Messi roam free to create magic as a playmaker or wing threat. Their squad mixes veterans like Messi, Suárez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba with young guns like Tadeo Allende and Telasco Segovia, who've stepped up big time. Here's how we think they'll line up: Goalkeeper : Oscar Ustari Defenders : Marcelo Weigandt, Tomás Avilés, Maximiliano Falcón, Noah Allen Midfielders : Tadeo Allende, Federico Redondo, Sergio Busquets, Telasco Segovia Forwards: Lionel Messi (C), Luis Suárez PSG's Possible Lineup PSG, led by the tactical mastermind Luis Enrique, are stacked with young stars and proven winners, fresh off their first-ever Champions League title. They're likely to roll out a 4-3-3, and here's our best guess at their lineup: Goalkeeper : Gianluigi Donnarumma Defenders : Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho, Nuno Mendes Midfielders : João Neves, Vitinha, Fabián Ruiz Forwards: Désiré Doué, Gonçalo Ramos, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia Our Prediction This game's got everything: heart, history, and high stakes. PSG's got the edge with their young, talented squad and Luis Enrique's slick system. Their press and possession could tire out Miami's older stars like Busquets, who might struggle to keep up with Vitinha and Ruiz. But never count out Messi. His free-kick against Porto and his knack for game-changing moments give Miami hope. Plus, with Mascherano, Suárez, Busquets, and Alba—veterans of Barcelona's epic 2017 comeback against PSG—there's a chance for some déjà vu magic. Still, PSG's defense, led by Marquinhos and Mendes, won't give Messi much room, and their attack, with Kvaratskhelia's flair and Ramos' finishing, could punish Miami's backline. We're calling it: PSG 3-1 Inter Miami. Messi might nick a goal or an assist to keep it close, but PSG's depth should seal it.
