The Guardian FootballMuheim’s late own goal gives Qatar dramatic World Cup draw against Switzerland
Qatar celebrated their first World Cup point in a 1-1 draw against Switzerland after Miro Muheim headed in a stoppage-time own goal to send the Gulf nation into jubilation. Muheim, under pressure from Boualem Khoukhi, inadvertently headed home Homam Ahmed’s cross on 94 minutes to cancel out a first-half Breel Embolo penalty, leaving the Swiss stunned and rueful after failing to convert 26 goal attempts to Qatar’s seven. The result left Group B wide open, with all teams locked on a point each following the co-hosts Canada’s 1-1 draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina. Continue reading...
The Guardian — Champions LeaguePSG now stand alongside some of Europe’s best-ever, but with caveats | Jonathan Wilson
The origin of PSG’s largesse and the effect it’s had on their domestic game can’t be ignored, even as we appreciate the team’s stunning quality Sign up for the World Behind The Cup newsletter Since 1990, only one side had ever successfully defended the Champions League – Real Madrid, who won three in a row between 2016 and 2018. Paris Saint-Germain’s victory in the final on Saturday elevates them to a new tier of the pantheon. No bad side has ever won the European Cup or Champions League, but only great sides have ever retained it. Arsenal pushed them much closer than Inter had in losing in the final the previous year, and there is always something slightly unsatisfying about a victory on penalties, but the quality of this PSG cannot be denied. They put six past Bayern in the semi-final – their superiority far greater than the one-goal aggregate margin would suggest. It was a similar story in the quarter-final, in which a 4-0 aggregate victory didn’t really reflect how much better they were than Liverpool. And while Chelsea may think they were slightly unlucky to lose the first leg of their last-16 tie away to PSG 5-2, the 3-0 result in the second leg was a devastating assertion of authority: three goals scored by an almost bored opponent apparently just as they felt like it.

The Guardian — Champions LeaguePSG provide perfect illusion with a model of beauty in soft-power project | Barney Ronay
Re-enthroned Champions League-winning club should have always been this good but Qatar’s propaganda project is finally listening to an elite manager P aris est mythique . There was nothing understated, no obvious shades of faux humilité about the headline in L’Équipe after Paris Saint-Germain had been re-enthroned as Champions League winners on Saturday night. Mythical. Storied. Ultimate. Yeah. But are they, though? In fairness it would be disappointingly un-Parisian not to consider your champion team the champions of all champions in the moment of victory. Give the people what they want. Play the hits. Nobody needs a polite Parisian waiter. Nobody wants to see an unstylish Parisian estate agent who has taken absolutely no care of his hair, or a Parisian bistro that doesn’t think it’s the VIP boarding lounge for the last arc leaving planet Earth. Hmm. Maybe there’s somewhere else more dismissive around the corner. Continue reading...
