MUNICH (GERMANY) (ITALPRESS) – For once, Jamal Musiala prefers to defend rather than go after a player. He does so on social media, posting a video in which, while never mentioning his name, he protects Gianluigi Donnarumma from accusations from those, such as Manuel Neuer, who have decided to shift blame for a collision on the PSG goalkeeper.

The Bayern and German national team player suffered a fractured left fibula and ligament damage, requiring surgery and a recovery period of approximately four to five months. In a video posted on social media, Musiala thanks fans for their “love and support. It’s inspiring to see how the football world can come together in times like this; I appreciate it enormously.” After reassuring everyone about the outcome of the operation and his condition, Musiala defended Donnarumma: “There’s no one to blame for the accident; these kinds of situations can happen. Now I’ll try to recover as best I can and turn everything into positive energy.”

NEW YORK (USA) (ITALPRESS) – “Playing against Real Madrid is a special match, without a doubt. We’re happy to play this type of match because it means we’ve done our job well. A semifinal is very motivating. We’re ready to go out and reach another final.”

This was stated by PSG coach Luis Enrique ahead of the semifinal of the Club World Cup tonight (9 p.m.) at the MetLife Stadium in New York. Facing them is Real Madrid, led by former great Kylian Mbappé: “It’s the past, it’s behind us now, and I have nothing to add,” he curtly replied to those who asked him about his relationship with the 1998-born champion.

According to Luis Enrique, it’s “very difficult to analyze Real Madrid because Xabi Alonso has just arrived. We know his players are very strong individually, but this is just the beginning of his adventure in Madrid. I think he has everything he needs to be successful. I don’t know who the favorite is, but I’m sure it will be a great match.”

There was also time for a comment on the criticism leveled by Neuer and the German press at Donnarumma over the serious injury Musiala suffered after coming off the ball against the Italian goalkeeper in the quarterfinal match against Bayern: “Injuries in football have always happened and are part of a player’s professional life, but there were no bad intentions. Gigio is fine, even if he’s shaken. We wish Musiala a speedy recovery.”

PSG will not change its nature against Real Madrid: “It’s our philosophy that allowed us to win the Champions League, so we won’t change it. It’s clear that you have to adapt to the opponent, but above all, you have to take into account what you want to do on the pitch,” Luis Enrique assured.

VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – Prime Minister Robert Abela has signalled a cautious and methodical approach to Malta’s proposed euthanasia legislation, stressing that the government is reviewing some 15,000 public submissions and will not rush into tabling a bill.

Speaking to journalists, Abela said the extensive public response demands careful consideration. “It will take time – not weeks, but months,” he stated, suggesting the final legislation may differ significantly from the original proposal.

“The worst thing one can do in such delicate matters, which impact individuals at their most vulnerable, is to rush,” Abela said, hinting at the possibility of further public consultation before any draft bill reaches Parliament.

While refusing to commit to a timeline, the Prime Minister said the government remains committed to crafting legislation that is “acceptable to the majority” and reflects the country’s values.

VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – A new “Sport Visa” was officially launched by Minister for Home Affairs and National Security Byron Camilleri, allowing non-EU athletes to travel to Malta for club trials under a regulated system.

The visa, valid for up to 100 days and non-renewable, is part of broader migration reforms aimed at creating a fair and transparent entry process. It is intended for sportspersons invited by Maltese clubs for trial periods, and does not permit other employment during the stay.

Minister Camilleri said the new system enhances visibility and control over arrivals, ensuring the reasons for entry are legitimate. “Good governance requires clear and structured processes,” he said, noting the measure supports both migration management and the sports sector.

NEW YORK (UNITED STATES) (ITALPRESS) – The Saudi millions would make everyone waver, but Lionel Messi seems intent on rejecting the mega offers, also to better prepare for the 2026 World Cup with the Inter Miami jersey. For its part, the Major League Soccer club can’t wait to sign the contract renewal and, according to The Athletic, this is the most accredited hypothesis.

Therefore, if there are no surprises, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, star of Al-Nassr, will not face each other again. The captain of the world champion Argentina is dreaming of Al-Ahli, but the player’s willingness to renew his contract with Inter Miami is also supported by his family who would prefer to continue living in the States.

MANCHESTER (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – Manchester United have set a price of 35 million euros for the sale of André Onana. The former Inter goalkeeper, according to “Daily Mail”, however, seems increasingly likely – also for an economic question – to remain at Old Trafford.

Monaco likes the Cameroonian, but it is difficult for the French to pay such a high sum for the 29-year-old goalkeeper, who cost United 55 million from Inter two years ago. Onana, among other things, is also appreciated by Amorim, therefore, if a suitable offer does not arrive he will remain in Manchester.

MANCHESTER (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – Manchester City are ready to say goodbye to Jack Grealish after three years. The English winger was bought from Aston Villa for 115 million and now the Citizens could let him go for less than half that, 45 million euros.

The player would no longer be part of Guardiola’s plans, so much so that the CFG management would have now entered into the perspective of this significant economic loss. Grealish, after an impressive season in the year of City’s Treble, in which he made 50 appearances and collected 16 goals and assists, in the two following seasons had a performance well below expectations. Last year, for example, also due to some injuries, only 20 appearances in the Premier League, one goal and one assist.

According to the Manchester Evening News, Tottenham, Newcastle and Napoli, champions of Italy, are monitoring the situation. In addition to Aston Villa, of course.

It’s something very beautiful, that I’ve dreamed of for a long time”, said the Argentine, visibly moved during the re-presentation press conference. “Today I was training and I couldn’t believe I was here: I’ve wanted to end my career here at Central for a long time. But I’m not thinking about retirement now, I’m thinking about playing. We’ll see about the rest later”, added Di Maria.

PARIS (FRANCE) (ITALPRESS) – A new chapter in the dispute between Kylian Mbappé and PSG. As reported by L’Equipe, the Real Madrid striker has withdrawn the complaint filed on May 16, which had led the Paris prosecutor’s office to open an investigation against unknown persons for ‘moral harassment’.

As reported by the French newspaper, the striker and his entourage intend to concentrate exclusively on sporting issues. However, the legal action initiated against PSG at the labour court to recover 55 million euros in salaries and bonuses that have not been paid remains standing, reports L’Equipe. On Wednesday 9 July at 9 pm, Mbappé will challenge his old team on the occasion of the semi-final of the Club World Cup.
