May 22, 2023 Mbappe’s Brace Brings PSG to the Brink of Ligue 1 Title

Mbappe’s Brace Brings PSG to the Brink of Ligue 1 Title

Paris St-Germain is edging closer to a historic 11th Ligue 1 title following Kylian Mbappe's impressive brace in their victory over struggling Auxerre on Sunday.

As the defending champions, PSG currently sits six points ahead of second-placed Lens, with a superior goal difference. They only need to secure one point from their remaining two games to secure the championship.

Star striker Mbappe wasted no time making an impact, scoring twice within the first eight minutes of the match for the visitors.

Although Lassine Sinayoko responded with a goal for Auxerre, their relegation concerns continue.

With this victory, Christophe Galtier's PSG will secure the title if they avoid defeat in their upcoming match against Racing Strasbourg next Saturday.

Mbappe, 24, has been in exceptional form this season, scoring 40 goals and providing nine assists in 41 games. Notably, he has been involved in 33 goals in 32 Ligue 1 matches.

The French international showcased his exceptional skills by displaying impressive footwork in the box to create space for the opening goal, followed by a sublime first-time strike just minutes later.

PSG, having already won eight of the past 10 Ligue 1 titles, equalled the all-time record of 10 French titles set by Marseille and Saint-Etienne last season.

May 22, 2023 Argentina Face Australia In Friendly

Argentina Face Australia In Friendly

World champions Argentina, led by Lionel Messi, are gearing up for two exciting friendly matches in Asia.

The first clash will take place on June 15 at Beijing's Workers' Stadium against Australia, offering a rematch of their intense encounter in the last 16 of the Qatar World Cup.

In that memorable game, Messi's brilliance helped secure a 2-1 victory for Argentina, propelling them to World Cup glory.

The announcement of Messi's participation in the friendly match was made by the Argentinian embassy in China on social media platform Weibo.

Additionally, the Argentinian national team disclosed another exciting fixture against Indonesia in Jakarta on June 19 as part of their summer "Asia Tour."

Football Australia's CEO, James Johnson, expressed his enthusiasm for the match in China, highlighting the potential for further strengthening ties between the two countries.

After years of strained relations, this game presents an opportunity to foster cooperation both on and off the football field.

Johnson emphasized the significance of this event, as it marks Australia's return to China for a senior men's national team match after a 15-year hiatus. The fixture against Argentina at the recently renovated Workers' Stadium in Beijing promises an exhilarating contest.

China's resumption of international sporting events comes after the easing of strict virus curbs implemented last year, adding to the anticipation surrounding these highly anticipated matches.

May 21, 2023 Man City Celebrate Title With Win Over Chelsea

Man City Celebrate Title With Win Over Chelsea

Manchester City sealed their third consecutive Premier League title in a joyous atmosphere at Etihad Stadium as they triumphed over Chelsea.

The celebrations were already underway even before City took to the field, as their championship status was confirmed following Nottingham Forest's victory against Arsenal on Saturday.

This allowed manager Pep Guardiola to make several changes to his starting lineup, with nine alterations from the team that had recently thrashed Real Madrid to secure a place in the Champions League final.

Although Erling Haaland was given a rest, Julian Alvarez stepped up in his absence and delivered a clinical finish to give City the lead after 12 minutes. The jubilant City fans soaked up the warm sunshine, eagerly awaiting the trophy presentations and reveling in the celebratory atmosphere.

As the game progressed, Chelsea had their fair share of opportunities, with City's backup goalkeeper Stefan Ortega making a crucial save from Raheem Sterling's one-on-one chance, and Conor Gallagher's header striking the post. City also came close to extending their lead when Kalvin Phillips hit the woodwork with a powerful header.

With this victory, City continued their relentless winning streak, securing the title and setting their sights on a potential Treble.

They still have the FA Cup final at Wembley and the Champions League final in Istanbul to look forward to. The triumph against Chelsea further solidified their dominance in English football.

May 19, 2023 Kelechi Iheanacho Set To Return From Injury After It Was Feared That Striker Would Miss The Rest Of The Season

Kelechi Iheanacho Set To Return From Injury After It Was Feared That Striker Would Miss The Rest Of The Season

Super Eagles striker, Kelechi Iheanacho has handed Leicester City a huge boost as he is set to return from injury after it was feared that striker would miss the rest of the season.

The Nigerian striker has not played since sustaining a thigh injury in the 1-1 draw at Leeds on April 25, and Leicester have taken only one point from the three games since.

It was initially feared that Iheanacho would miss the rest of the season but the forward’s recovery has gone well and he trained this week.

Leicester might need to win against Newcastle United on Monday to avoid dropping into the Championship if they relegate. 

Commenting on the players' recent form, interim boss Dean Smith said: ‘The players were demoralised by the last couple of results but before that there had been an upturn in performances. 

'The goals we gave away against Fulham and Liverpool were not good enough and we have been working on that.

I don’t need to pay homage to this group of players, who I inherited. I can criticise them if I feel I have to but I don’t because the work ethic is there.

‘The statistics I get from our performance department prove to me it’s there. The thing missing is clean sheets. 

'We have to be harder to beat. We need to get the basics right – but the players do care.’
