RC Lens may not be as immovable as first thought – and Paris Saint-Germain are watching closely.After knocking out Chelsea to reach the Champions League quarter-finals, PSG have already benefited from a lighter schedule, with their clash against FC Nantes postponed. Now, attention turns to a far more delicate question: should their April meeting with Lens also be pushed back?##NAJAVA_MECA_9612924##Luis Enrique’s side faces a brutal European double-header against Liverpool. First in Paris on April 8, then at Anfield six days later. Sandwiched in between sits the Lens fixture, a potentially decisive domestic Ligue 1 clash against a side just one point behind (albeit with PSG holding a game in hand).Lens boss Pierre Sage had initially dismissed the idea… “It’s too late,” he said, insisting PSG didn’t need any favours to compete.Alas, the tone has softened in the meantime.Austrian of African descent who has taken Europe by storm – and now Guardiola tooAccording to reports, Lens are now “..

But just when things look smooth, Manchester United hit a familiar stumbling block: AFC Bournemouth away.The Vitality Stadium hasn’t been kind to United lately.

The Serbian goalkeeper has been a wall, keeping three clean sheets in recent games and anchoring a side that refuses to break easily.United, meanwhile, arrive with firepower. Bruno Fernandes is pulling the strings, but with some wobbles away from h..

One decision can affect not just a single edition of a tournament, but its entire history!Guinea have now thrown African football into a time warp – and they want a trophy back to prove it.In the wake of CAF’s explosive decision to strip Senegal of the 2025 AFCON title after a walkout, the Guinea Football Federation has stepped forward with a bold request, to put it mildly: reopen the books and revisit the 1976 tournament!?🚨💣 𝐌𝐀𝐉𝐎𝐑 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: Guinea is officially calling for the 𝟏𝟗𝟕𝟔 𝐀𝐅𝐂𝐎𝐍 𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞 to be reassigned to them after Morocco’s walk-off in the decisive group match! 🏆🇬🇳— In 1976, Morocco protested a referee decision, briefly left the pitch against Guinea,… pic.twitter.com/fYs2RPzX0S— Topskills Sports UK (@topskillsportuk) March 20, 2026 Their argument?
