📸 House of trophies: PL rival trolls Arsenal after CL final loss

Arsenal truly had a night to forget in Budapest. The Gunners did manage to keep the Champions League final exciting until the very end, but once again they are left without the famous trophy. And as if that wasn’t bad enough, the mockery online didn’t take long to start.  

One rival in particular really rubbed salt into the wound. After the final whistle, Chelsea FC wrote on X: "Visit the home of trophies in London." Beneath that was a prompt to book the stadium tour at Stamford Bridge.

While Chelsea have won the Champions League twice (2012 and 2021), Arsenal are still waiting in vain to lift the trophy. In Chelsea’s last Champions League triumph, it was none other than Kai Havertz who scored the winner in the final against Manchester City to seal a 1-0 victory. From Chelsea’s point of view, that is surely another source of satisfaction. 

Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest also couldn’t resist taking a swipe.

Alisson Becker to Juventus deal takes shocking twist

Alisson Becker to Juventus deal takes shocking twist: Alisson Becker to Juventus deal takes shocking twist

Alisson Becker has apparently been close to agreeing a move to Juventus.

With a deal broadly settled between the player and the Serie A giants all that was missing was an accord between the clubs.

It has been reported that Juve were looking to avoid paying a fee for the goalkeeper considering they would have to make a hefty outlay on salary.

Italian media suggests Luciano Spalletti’s side were lining up a 2 + 1 deal for the 33-year-old - with a two-year contract guaranteed with another one included as an option.

That would be an enticing prospect for the Brazil No1 given his age and he has been reported to be intrigued by a return to Serie A.

Alisson could stay at Liverpool

But now a new twist has emerged courtesy of a report in TEAMtalk - which could see Alisson REMAIN at Anfield for the long term.

His current deal is due to expire in 2027 - after Richard Hughes triggered a one-year option. And it’s now been claimed that Alisson would be prepared to turn his back on a Juventus deal on one condition.

The shotstopper would stay at Anfield if the club were willing to offer him a similar long-term deal to the one on offer in Turin.

“The 33-year-old could still consider remaining at Liverpool if the Reds present him with a comparable long-term offer and assurances over his status moving forward,” the report reads.

Alisson wants long-term Liverpool deal

Alisson has been injured once again of late - his third significant absence of the season. He misses far too many matches for a goalkeeper - leading to succession plans taking place inside the corridors of power.

Giorgi Mamardashvili has been signed for an initial £24m but currently does not look capable of matching Alisson’s performances in goal.

Therefore it might be tempting for Richard Hughes and Arne Slot to persist with Alisson - fitness concerns notwithstanding - for another couple of seasons beyond this one.

Alisson is reported to be making anything from £150k per week to £210k per week - meaning a deal for the Champions League-winning goalkeeper won’t come cheap.

USMNT's Johnny Cardoso to undergo ankle surgery, all but certain to miss World Cup

USMNT's Johnny Cardoso to undergo ankle surgery, all but certain to miss World Cup:

Johnny Cardoso, the U.S. World Cup candidate who injured his right ankle at Atlético Madrid training last week, will undergo surgery, the Spanish La Liga club announced Monday.

No timetable was announced, but with the World Cup kicking off in a month, the 24-year-old defensive midfielder is all but certain of missing the tournament.

As previously announced by the club, Cardoso suffered a high-grade sprain. The joint was also impacted, Atleti said Monday.

U.S. officials have been in contact with the Champions League semifinalists, a U.S. Soccer Federation spokesman said, but did not have any additional comment.

Cardoso’s World Cup prospects dimmed late last week when he got hurt in the buildup to Atleti’s match against Celta Vigo on Saturday.

Even if healthy, he was not certain of making Mauricio Pochettino’s 26-man U.S. squad. More successful in club circles than with the national team, moving from Brazil’s Internacional to Spain’s Real Betis before landing at Atleti last summer, Cardoso has been in competition with several defensive midfielders for probably four roster slots this summer.

Tyler Adams and Tanner Tessmann are the favorites, while Cardoso, Aidan Morris and Cristian Roldan are in the mix. Other midfielders are capable of filling that role, as well.

Invited to U.S. camp in March after an eight-month absence, Cardoso started against Belgium before leaving at halftime with a leg issue. He missed the subsequent friendly against Portugal.

Previously, an ankle injury had ruled him out of consideration for call-ups in October and November.

Assuming he is not available for the World Cup, Cardoso joins several other candidates sidelined by injuries: forward Patrick Agyemang, midfielder James Sands, left wing John Tolkin and goalkeeper Jonathan Klinsmann, among others. Only Agyemang was high on the depth chart.

Over the weekend, Tessmann, attacker Christian Pulisic and winger Tim Weah did not play for their respective clubs because of injuries. It’s unclear whether they will return this week.

Pochettino is scheduled to announce the World Cup team on May 26 in New York. Camp will open the next day at the new national training center near Atlanta, leading to friendlies against Senegal on May 31 in Charlotte and Germany on June 6 in Chicago.

The Group D opener is June 12 vs. Paraguay in the Los Angeles area.
