The Pitchside Review

📲 Thierry Henry responds via Instagram after Arsenal lost in the Champions League Final. 💔

"𝐖𝐄 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐁𝐄 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊." ❤️🫂

Victor Osimhen: "I just had a phone call with Eric Chelle about the comments he made regarding me in his latest interview. Unfortunately, his words were taken out of context and blown out of proportion. He has great respect for Galatasaray, follows most of our matches, and never had any intention of creating controversy.

I appreciate this conversation and the opportunity to always represent my country. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with him. He's a very good coach whom I hold in high regard, and I ask that the speculation surrounding this matter be disregarded.

Thank you for your support."

FIFA has announced a series of major World Cup rule changes aimed at improving discipline and reducing gamesmanship.

🔹 Goalkeepers will no longer be allowed to use tactical “time-outs”

🔹 Players will be prohibited from approaching the technical area during stoppages.

🔹 VAR will have expanded authority to review attacking fouls before set-pieces 🎥

🔹 Covering the mouth during confrontations will now be punishable by a red card.

🔥 The World Cup is set to be played under some of the strictest regulations football has ever seen. [AS]

“Dear Liverpool. Five years ago, I arrived as a young player with big dreams. Today, I leave with memories that will stay with me for the rest of my life”.

“Representing this club has been an honour. We have shared incredible moments together… with highs and lows, trophies, challenges, lifelong friendships, and heartbreaking moments that will stay with us forever, none more painful than losing our brother Diogo”.

“Losing my father this year was one of the hardest periods of my life, but even through hardship, my commitment to this club never changed. During the toughest moments, I gave everything I had for this badge”.

“To my teammates, coaches, staff and everyone behind the scenes, thank you for helping me grow every single day”.

“And to the supporters… thank you for your love, your energy, and your incredible support. Anfield is truly a special place, and playing in front of you was something I never took for granted”.

“I am deeply saddened now that I didn’t get the chance to say goodbye to all of you at the last game. At that moment, I didn’t know it would be my final time wearing this shirt in front of you.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything”.

“I love you all and will carry Liverpool with me wherever I go.
This isn’t an easy goodbye, but it’s time for a new challenge and a new chapter. See you again soon, Inshallah. YNWA”. ❤️
