It was June 2026 when Argentina defeated Algeria 3-0 in the opening match at the World Cup and Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick. The Argentinian captain broke down in tears after the game and when asked about it replied that it was something “completely unrelated to football. I went through some difficult days, but I’m grateful to the entire delegation and my teammates because they were always by my side, giving me a lot of strength to help me get through it”. It was later revealed that the real reason was his father’s illness. Jorge Messi was undergoing medical treatment for an undisclosed illness and Leo had a hard time dealing with it. Unfortunately, it was reported today that his father died at the age of 68.Lionel’s Messi father Jorge Messi has passed away at the age of 68 after battling a long illness.Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Messi family.

Mason Greenwood, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Amine Harit have already left, while Bilal Nadir’s contract has expired, but the departures from the Velodrome will not end there. Marseille are facing financial difficulties that can most easily be addressed by selling players, and the next to be sacrificed could be Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. At the Velodrome, the 31-year-old midfielder is valued at 17.5 million euros, and the only interested club in Newcastle (believe it or not). The Magpies just lost their talismanic captain Bruno Guimaraes and intend to replace his with the Dane, much to the dismay of their supporters. But Hojbjerg is not the last one to go from Marseille.

October 2021. Newcastle United have started another season badly, the fans hate their owner (Mike Ashley) and the former football legend and now manager Steve Bruce. The Magpies are in a relegation battle already and then, all of a sudden – a miracle. The Public Investment Fund (PIF) of Saudi Arabia buys the 85% of the stakes and takes over the club from the North East of England. Since PIF is the fifth largest investment fund (owned by a sovereign state) with a wealth worth over one trillion dollars, the club is instantly called ‘the richest club in the world’. But the Magpies are still in relegation battle even in November, when coach Eddie Howe is brought on. Four and half years later, Newcastle survived relegation, reached two domestic cup finals, ended a 70-year wait for a domestic trophy with a Carabao Cup in 2025, while qualifying for the Champions League twice in four seasons.Newcastle have seen their squad get torn up by rival clubs over the last few of transfer windows 😳Club ..

One of those well-hidden transfers that nobody could have predicted. Liverpool’s midnight surprise is Ronald Araujo! The Uruguayan centre-back is heading to Anfield on a loan deal. There had been no reports in recent days or weeks linking Liverpool with the defender, but circumstances forced the Reds to search for a centre-back — among them Joe Gomez’s injury at the end of July. Sporting director Richard Hughes therefore had to act quickly. A loan deal until the end of the season has been agreed with Barcelona, along with a potential option to buy the experienced defender, although there is still no information on the fee.Liverpool have agreed a surprise deal for Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo to join on loan for the season 🔴🤝 pic.twitter.com/sMjRb98FuR— Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) August 8, 2026 And here is the fuller explanation of why Liverpool had to bring in a central defender.
