☕️🌦️⚽️ Good morning everyone! Kante is widely regarded as one of the best defensive midfielders in modern football but he has been out of the spotlight ever since his move to play in Saudi Arabia. Yesterday, the French squad for the Euros was announced, and the soccer nation was greeted with a surprise when we saw that Kante will be included in the squad. His last game for France was back in 2022, with injuries on top of no longer playing in a top 5 league, the odds of seeing him back on the international stage seemed very low, especially given the talen on the French squad.

🔚 🏆️ It all comes down to Championship Sunday for the Premier League. City and Arsenal last faced each other at the end of March. The game ended in a tie, giving neither team an advantage, and gifting us fans an electric Championship Sunday where it’ll come down to the final second to crown a champion. Historically, the team that went into the last match day in first place, came out on top, but don’t tell Arsenal fans that. Arsenal themselves have won their last match in the past 12 seasons, so the pressure is absolutely on City to deliver.

🍾 🏆️ I have a dream, I want to dance with Eduardo Camavinga, music, maestro!- Don Carlo Ancelotti. His words brought roars of laughter from the crowd gathered at Madrid’s Ciebeles fountain. As fans, coaches, and players synchronized their moves and danced, the rest of the squad started a conga and 60,000 fans below bounced with joy. Madrid had sealed their record-extending 36th Spanish liga title the weekend before after Barcelona were beaten 4-2 at Girona in the hours that followed with.Real 3-0 home victory over Cadiz, but Real decided not to formally celebrate until this weekend given the small matter of a Champions League semi-final they had to deal with.
⌚️🤌 One for the times, the players celebrated their 36th La Liga victory wearing some insane pieces on their wrists. The drip on the wrist ranged from Rolex to Pateks. Check out the timeless pieces donned by the champs.
