Rio Ferdinand fumes over star pundit's absence from BBC's Lionesses coverage for Euros final - despite her having 172 caps for England!

Rio Ferdinand has hit out at the BBC for omitting Fara Williams from their coverage of the UEFA Women's Euro 2025 final – despite the former England midfielder being the country's most capped player. Williams, who earned 172 caps during a glittering international career, has been a regular and respected voice on the BBC's football output in recent years. But she was nowhere to be seen in the corporation's broadcast team for Sunday's final in Basel, with host Gabby Logan joined instead by Steph Houghton, Ellen White and Nedum Onuoha. Ferdinand, who recently stepped away from his own punditry role at TNT Sports, appeared stunned by the snub. 'How's @fara_williams47 not on the @BBCSport coverage' the ex-England defender tweeted just after 4pm, under an hour before kick-off at St Jakob-Park. Williams, 41, had earlier confirmed a new chapter in her punditry career, revealing on Saturday that she will join the TNT Sports team for the new season. Quoting a video promoting the broadcaster's extensive football rights — including for the Premier League, Champions League and Women's FA Cup — she wrote on X (formerly Twitter): 'This is NOT NORMAL', before adding: 'Can't wait to be part of the @footballontnt team!' It's a high-profile move for the former Lioness, who featured at four major tournaments and scored 40 goals for her country. She retired from playing in 2019 and has since established herself as one of the most insightful and eloquent voices in the game. Ferdinand himself ended his decade-long stint with TNT Sports after May's Champions League final. The Manchester United legend signed off with a warm on-air farewell and said he would now focus on his Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast and other ventures, including his charitable foundation.

Barcelona forced to release statement mid-match as thousands left unable to watch Marcus Rashford's 23-minute debut

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BARCELONA were forced to release a statement with thousands of fans left unable to watch Marcus Rashford's debut. The Man Utd loanee - who arrived at the Camp Nou earlier this week- was brought on as a half-time substitute, and then replaced 23 minutes later in his first match since the end of last season. 3 Rashford made his Barcelona debut on Sunday Credit: Getty 3 Eric Garcia celebrates scoring the opener in Barcelona's game with Vissel Kobe Credit: Getty 3 Marcus Rashford's Barcelona debut lasted just 23 minutes Credit: Getty The match was being streamed for FREE on Barcelona's app, but the Catalan giants suffered a host of issues with the live broadcast. Midway through the second half, they released a grovelling apology. It said: "FC Barcelona's streaming platforms received an attack of large proportions from various pages attempting to capture the live feed of the preseason game against Vissel Kobe. "As a result of this avalanche of requests, the system engaged the pertinent security mechanisms which then affected the broadcast on the website and the Culers app. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL HE'S THE GUEYE Man Utd hijack Brentford bid for wonderkid days after snaring £71m Mbeumo "Straightaway, the decision was taken to offer the game free on the Clubs' YouTube platform to guarantee the broadcast of the game. "The Club apologies for the inconvenience caused and will be in contact with all those people affected." The match had initially been scrapped amid a row over a 'serious breach of contract' - but was later reinstated and went ahead as scheduled. Ex-Man City star Eric Garcia opened the scoring with his first goal for the Catalan club midway through the first half, before Taisei Miyashiro levelled the scores just before half-time. Roony Bardghji restored Barca's lead with 13 minutes remaining, before 17-year-old Pedro Fernandez - who replaced Rashford - sealed victory in the dying embers. Rashford is in line for a reunion with former Man Utd pal Jesse Lingard on Thursday, with Barca set to face his FC Seoul at the 66,000-seater Seoul World Cup Stadium.
