ROME (ITALPRESS) – A muscle tear in his right thigh: this is the result of the instrumental tests Neymar underwent, the injury sustained in Wednesday’s match against Palmeiras, which sealed the elimination of his Santos club in the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals.

The 34-year-old former PSG striker is expected to be sidelined for three to four weeks, although Santos has not specified a recovery time. After the match against Palmeiras, Neymar complained about the poor pitch conditions to explain the injuries sustained, both to himself and to Alvaro Barreal, who also suffered a torn hamstring in his left thigh.

BUENOS AIRES (ARGENTINA) (ITALPRESS) – Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi together for the first time on the same team? Carlos Tevez is trying. The Apache said goodbye to football in June 2021, at Boca Juniors, but never had the opportunity to say goodbye to the Bombonera. He will do so in December, on a date yet to be determined, after receiving the approval of former teammate and current president of the Xeneize, Juan Roman Riquelme.

Tevez will bid his fans farewell for the last time with a farewell match to which he has invited several former teammates, both at club and country. And on the list, “Tyc Sports” reveals, are CR7—with whom he played at Manchester United—and Messi, with whom he shared the Seleccion experience. There are reportedly around sixty guests, including Gigi Buffon and Andrea Pirlo, whom he met while at Juventus.

BARCELONA (SPAIN) (ITALPRESS) – Ahead of the away match against Valencia, scheduled for tomorrow at 4:15 PM, Hansi Flick assessed Barcelona’s current situation during a press conference, focusing particularly on Lamine Yamal’s condition, the new captaincy hierarchy, and lineup decisions. The German coach confirmed that the forward will travel with the squad: “He was in pain after a knock and trained separately. But he says he feels fine and could play tomorrow. We have to wait to see if he’ll be on the pitch; we’ll decide. He wants to play.”

Flick then explained the choice of Barcelona’s new captains. With Ter Stegen and Araujo no longer in the role, the armband passes to others: “I chose two—Raphinha and Pedri—and the players chose three: Eric Garcia, Frenkie de Jong, and Lamine. I know our dressing room, and everything is going well. It was a good choice.” Among the most interesting new developments is Gabriel Jesus, who arrived to add further depth to the attack. Flick is satisfied with what he has seen in training, though he noted that the Brazilian is not yet at peak fitness: “I really liked what I saw. He isn’t at one hundred percent, but he could get a few minutes in the second half. He’s ready. I like his movement, his composure on the ball, and the way he attacks the goal.”

The Barcelona manager also discussed Real Madrid’s defeat in the previous round of matches, while urging against underestimating Xabi Alonso’s team. “I watched yesterday’s game; Madrid played well and created chances. That’s football—it happens. We want to stick to our style, but it will be a tough match, and we need to be ready. Winning isn’t always easy.” Flick then praised his squad and the level of performance shown in daily training sessions. “What I see during training is what matters, and what I see is fantastic. The important thing is winning and securing trophies. The quality is extremely high.” Finally, Flick addressed the topic of transfer market investments and decisions made jointly with sporting director Deco. “We made the decisions together. I’m happy. After selling players, you have to make new signings. It isn’t easy for me to look at La Masia players and choose to back others brought in from outside. The La Masia lads dream of succeeding here, but we have to be honest: we want to win trophies. We are Barça, and changes are part of the game.” The objective ahead of the match against Valencia remains clear: “We’ll see if we can win every game, but that is our goal. The right mentality and attitude are there. It’s incredible to see how they work and the atmosphere in the dressing room. We need to improve every day.”

PARIS (FRANCE) (ITALPRESS) – Three matches and just two points. Meanwhile, league leaders Monaco—who triumphed at the Parc des Princes last night—have already opened up a seven-point gap. It is certainly not the start Paris Saint-Germain fans expected, though Luis Enrique remains confident. The Asturian coach would have liked to celebrate the announcement of his contract extension through 2030 in a different way (“It’s the first time I’ve managed a team for four consecutive seasons, but I’m more motivated than I was in the first year; I hope to stay here for a long time, but I know I have to earn it”), yet the result isn’t the whole story. “We deserved the win,” he said after the defeat to Monaco. “It’s the classic match where you’re better than the opponent and create more chances, but the opposing goalkeeper is the man of the match. Just like what happened against Newcastle, Atlético Madrid, Sporting Lisbon, or Liverpool two years ago. We deserved to win, but football comes down to goals, and in that regard, we lost.” Luis Enrique downplayed the situation (“The defense? Monaco had two shots on target and scored two goals”), though he did not shy away from offering the customary praise to his counterpart, Filipe Luís. “Monaco defended very well; I liked the way they played. They’re in first place—congratulations to them and their coach.”

“What I want to get across, however, is that we shouldn’t focus on the result. We pressed much better than in other matches where we didn’t concede any goals. But this time, luck was against us; the result cannot erase everything we did well,” the Spanish coach insisted. “Monaco knows that if they played ten matches against us like this, we would win eight, draw one, and lose one—today’s match.” After two comeback draws against Rennes and Lille—in both cases after trailing 2-0—PSG had taken the lead this time, only to see the game turned around against them. Now, the standings show Monaco leading Ligue 1 with 9 points, while Marquinhos and his teammates sit on 2. “It’s incredible motivation,” Luis Enrique replied. “If you want to bet on who will be champion at the end of the season, we can do that. We’re seven points behind? Fine, we’ll try to rectify this situation as quickly as possible.” More than a promise, it was a threat.

LONDON (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – The striker ultimately did not arrive, but that is no problem. Mikel Arteta and his Arsenal are ready to move forward after the end of the transfer window, having collected six points from their first two games.

“I love the players we have,” the coach assured. “Some of them are really, really very good. We have to trust them and make sure we are completely behind them, and I will do everything I can to bring out the incredible talent we have.”

Arteta had called for Arsenal to be ambitious, quick and smart ahead of the transfer window, and now that it is over, he guarantees that “the objective has been achieved.”

There is confidence that Bruno Guimaraes will recover in time for the match against Chelsea. Konsa is available, but Arteta has not yet made a final decision on whether to start him.

Inevitably, there was also a comment on Xabi Alonso, a childhood friend and now rival in charge of the Blues: “We have been in touch, and I’m really happy for him. It’s incredible to face each other at this level now, coaching two of the best teams in England. It’s a wonderful experience.”
