PSG 'lost their heads' after final
Joao Pedro, who scored Chelsea's third goal, said: "I don't need to talk about them. Everyone wants to win the game and, in the end, I think they lost their heads."But this is football. This has happened. Now we need to enjoy it because we won the tournament, that's it."I don't want to talk too much about them because you know how it works. Football is this."The confrontations at full-time came after PSG's Joao Neves was sent off in the closing minutes for pulling the hair of Chelsea full-back Marc Cucurella.
Luis Enrique, whose side were bidding to follow up their domestic treble and Champions League victory in 2024-25 with Club World Cup success, said: "I have no problem expressing my feelings at the end of the game in a high level of pressure. It's very stressful for all of us. It is going to be impossible to avoid that."Everybody was involved. It was not what was best and the end result of the pressure of the match."I have seen [Chelsea manager Enzo] Maresca. I saw he had pushed others and we had to separate all the players and I do not know where that pressure came from."But this is a situation we must all avoid, that goes without saying. My intention was to separate the footballers so the situation didn't become worse."Joao Pedro's dinked 43rd-minute finish added to two earlier strikes from Cole Palmer as Chelsea won the first edition of the expanded Club World Cup.

Club World Cup dismissed as a Fifa ‘fiction' by head of players' union
The president of Fifpro has described the Club World Cup as a 'fiction' and compared Gianni Infantino to the Roman emperor Nero, as the dispute between the players' union and Fifa continued to escalate. Sergio Marchi joined the ranks of those critical of Infantino's new tournament, saying a 'lack of protection' for players had left the Club World Cup equivalent to 'bread and circuses'. It is understood Fifpro was not invited to a meeting regarding player welfare held by Infantino in New York on the eve of the final, won 3-0 by Chelsea against Paris Saint-Germain. Marchi said the Club World Cup was not without its strengths because it had 'generated enthusiasm among numerous fans and allowed some of the world's leading figures to be seen in a single tournament', but he said it did not represent football well. 'Fifpro cannot fail to point out, with absolute clarity, that this competition hides a dangerous disconnect with the true reality experienced by most footballers around the world,' he said. 'What was presented as a global celebration of football was nothing more than a fiction created by Fifa, promoted by its president, without dialogue, sensitivity and respect for those who sustain the game with their daily efforts. 'A grandiloquent staging inevitably reminiscent of the 'bread and circuses' of Nero's Rome, entertainment for the masses while behind the scenes inequality, precariousness and the lack of protection for the true protagonists deepen.' Those 'true protagonists' are the players, including those of Chelsea and PSG who will start their new league seasons five weeks after the final. Fifpro last month urged Fifa to grant players a four-week rest between seasons. This request has not been taken up, however, with the meeting on Saturday ending with an agreement that three weeks of rest would be sufficient. 'There is a consensus that there must be at least 72 hours of rest between matches, and that players should have a rest period/holiday of at least 21 days at the end of each season,' Fifa said. Fifpro is part of a group of football bodies, including the Premier League, pursuing legal action against Fifa over an alleged lack of consultation regarding the Club World Cup and changes to the international match calendar more broadly. Fifa has said it is 'fully within our rights to set the parameters of our competitions whilst respecting the regulatory framework in place', and the prospect of a legal row was described by Infantino as a 'futile'. Sign up to Football Daily Kick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football after newsletter promotion Fifa said there had been agreement at the weekend's meeting that the calendar needed to 'strike the right balance between national team football and club football, on the one hand, and between domestic, continental, and global club competitions, on the other hand'. The Club World Cup is the only global club competition. Fifa has been approached for comment.

Sinner and Alcaraz are forming a men's singles cartel at grand slam tournaments
It's surely official by now, the golden era of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic has been consigned to the tennis history books with Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner firmly positioned at the head of affairs. Federer and Nadal are both retired and although Djokovic reached the Wimbledon semi-finals he will have to roll back the years and produce an epic performance for the ages to win that coveted 25th grand slam and take sole possession of the record he shares with Margaret Court. Alcaraz and Sinner have now won the last seven major tournaments between them, including the French Open at the beginning of June when the Spaniard battled back from two sets down to Sinner to win in five on the Roland Garros clay and at the All England Club on Sunday when the Italian triumphed in four sets against his great rival despite losing the opener. It's gripping stuff with some of the extraordinary shots a wonder to behold and debates are certain to rage for age over whether the new kids on the block could have lived with the Big Three and the likes of Andy Murray or, before that, Pete Sampras, Boris Becker, John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors, Bjorn Borg… American Taylor Fritz and of course Britain's Jack Draper are among those who can upset the apple cart by claiming a slam with Ben Shelton, Joao Fonseca and Alexander Bublik bubbling under many radars and the beauty of sport is that the next generational talent can burst into the big time from apparently nowhere at any given tournament. But it's hard to see anyone breaking the dominance of Alcaraz and Sinner on a regular basis for the moment and after winning Wimbledon for the first time, the latter is currently no bigger than 6/5 with Betfred to successfully defend his US Open title on the Arthur Ashe Court in New York, in September. Alcaraz is 2/1 with the same firm and many others with last year's Olympic gold medallist Djokovic, who is now solely focused on gaining that record before retiring, 7/1 with Betfred, Ladbrokes, Coral and many more. Draper is 16/1 with Unibet and BetMGM but the smart money is on Sinner, who excels on the hard-court circuit, to prevail. When it comes to betting on the men's singles at slams, punters who prefer to back players at bigger prices face a long wait before finding a winner as while there's no such thing as a certainty in sport, Sinner or Alcaraz to loft silverware at one of the four major tournaments looks as close as it gets. To be honest, it's probably a safe bet that the chant 'Let's Go Chelsea, Let's Go' which rang around MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Sunday as the Blues beat Paris Saint-Germain to win the Club World Cup won't catch on at Stamford Bridge this season. More Trending The 3-0 victory was a shock result given how well PSG were playing in the tournament but while they may have had an off day it is fairer to assume Enzo Maresca's young Chelsea side are starting to mature into a decent outfit which will be serious contenders on all fronts when the new season commences. There's a lot of unfinished business in the transfer market which could change perspectives but Chelsea are currently 9/1 with Unibet and BetMGM to win the Premier League and 18/1 with Betway and BoyleSports for the Champions League and those prices are not likely to get any bigger. Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong is enjoying an outstanding season both offensively and defensively and he's 9/1 with Sky Bet to be the MVP at Major League Baseball's All Star Game in Atlanta.

'My knee is good'
Newcastle midfielder Joelinton says he is "fully fit" after overcoming the knee injury that ended his 2024-25 campaign Brazilian, 28, saw his season cut short in April when specialists recommended a period of returning to prepare for the 2025-26 campaign, he told club media: "I feel good now. I've had a long time to recover. The start of it was very difficult as, personally, I was very frustrated about the injury at the end of the season."There was a lot of important games and I could have been with the team. I was very sad but I knew I had to step out and recover because of my knee as I couldn't help the team in the way I wanted. It was the best decision and I had enough time to recover and come back, starting with the guys in pre-season."My knee is good, I feel fully fit and happy. Injuries are not what you want but they can happen in football sometimes and you just have to deal with them and do everything you can to be fit. I now hope to have a season without injuries."
