AC Milan crushed Lecce 3-0 in the Coppa Italia round of 32 at San Siro, thanks to goals from Santiago Giménez, Christopher Nkunku and Christian Pulisic. A red card for Lecce early on tilted the balance. The win hands Milan a round‑of‑16 tie with Lazio and extends their unbeaten streak against Lecce to 13 games.
A last‑minute reshuffle of a Ligue 1 fixture put Paris Saint‑Germain in a bind, as the game with Marseille now sat on the same night as the 2025 Ballon d'Or ceremony. Coach Luis Enrique and star Ousmane Dembélé faced a tough call between honoring individual accolades and meeting club duties. PSG ultimately travelled to Marseille, lost 1‑0, and missed the glittering awards show. The episode underscores how crowded the football calendar has become, forcing clubs to juggle prestige and competition.
I recently looked into how the host for the 2022 World Cup was chosen, and it's quite an interesting process! FIFA, the international governing body for football, oversees the bidding and selection process. Countries interested in hosting the event submit their proposals, showcasing their infrastructure and plans for the tournament. FIFA then evaluates these bids, considering factors like stadiums, transportation, accommodation, and the overall experience for fans. After a thorough review, FIFA members vote on the host country, and in this case, Qatar was chosen to host the 2022 World Cup.
