Thursday's matches stole the show, with great goals, surprising moments, and the fall of the biggest team in Europe.
So sit back and enjoy, because these were the best moments of the day.
Messi's GOAL
Leo Messi silenced the critics and stole the spotlight by appearing at the decisive moment of the match against Porto. The player considered by many to be the GOAT scored a great goal from a free kick to give Inter Miami the win and a chance to fight for the top spot in Group A in the next round.
South America is strong
South American clubs have shown in each match that Conmebol soccer is competitive, and today, Botafogo and Palmeiras proved it on the field. Each team earned three points in their respective matches.
The European champion falls
And speaking of Botafogo... the match between the champion of America and the champion of Europe, PSG, was the star match of the day. Igor Jesus became a hero by giving the victory to the Lone Star team and, in addition, snatched the group lead from Luis Enrique's squad
Atleti is alive!
Atleti suffered in their debut in the competition, losing by a landslide to PSG, but today they took a second breath. Diego Simeone's team achieved their first victory and, in the process, eliminated Seattle Sounders from the competition... the first eliminated team.
Results of the day
Palmeiras 2-0 Al-Ahly

Report: Wirtz successfully completes medical checks with Liverpool
Germany's Florian Wirtz (L) and France's Manu Kone stand on the pitch after the UEFA Nations League soccer match between Germany and France at Stuttgart Arena. Federico Gambarini/dpa Bayer Leverkusen playmaker Florian Wirtz has successfully completed medical checks with Liverpool, broadcasters Sky reported on Friday. He's now expected to sign a deal with the Premier League champions until 2030. Advertisement The deal for the young forward could be worth up to €150 million ($172.74 million) including bonuses, making Wirtz the most expensive signing in Bundesliga and Premier League history. Only Paris Saint-German's moves for Neymar and Kylian Mbappe have ever carried a higher transfer fee. The Germany international had been a major target for top European clubs, including Leverkusen's Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich.

Jim Bob Cooter weighs in on progress this offseason from Indianapolis Colts WR AD Mitchell
By all accounts, Indianapolis Colts' second-year wide receiver AD Mitchell has had a very strong showing throughout the team's offseason programs. "AD's had an exciting start to the offseason," said offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter. "He's really been playing good football out there. Getting open, making catches." Advertisement Even through the ups and downs that Mitchell experienced as a rookie, what also stood out was his ability to get open and create separation, particularly against man coverage. With Mitchell's combination of speed and route-running abilities, he can be a very difficult matchup. However, overshadowing that playmaking potential in Year 1 were the miscues. Dropped passes, wrong or mistimed routes, and not being on the same page with the quarterback were all too prevalent. This resulted in Mitchell catching just 45% of his 51 targets and a lack of playing time and opportunities as well. There were some weeks where, by snap count, he was the fifth wideout on the Colts' depth chart. So the big thing for Mitchell as he enters Year 2 is finding that consistency. Advertisement "It's a consistency thing," Cooter added. "Like Shane's talked about with our offense, with our team, with a lot of our guys. Attacking each day with consistency, going out there if you're AD Mitchell and you have some really good ability to go get open and make great catches, well, that's going to be the expectation, day in and day out." Year 2 is often when we see NFL players make the biggest developmental jump. For one, there is the comfort and confidence that comes with having an NFL season under their belt, but they also have a full offseason to work on their craft, rather than focusing on the pre-draft process. Even in a crowded Colts' receiver room that also includes Michael Pittman, Josh Downs, and Alec Pierce, if Mitchell can take a step forward this season and find that consistency, more opportunities will come--in snaps, targets, and in the type of routes he's asked to run--because his skill set, and how he can stress various levels of the field, can add another element to this Colts' passing game. "He's done a really nice job," Cooter added. "He's had a great attitude attacking this spring. He's had some opportunities in practice, and he's made the most of those things, and those will keep coming."

Billie Eilish Offers A Rare Look At Her Vacation Style With A Red String Bikini in Barcelona
THE RUNDOWN Billie Eilish was filmed on the beach with friends in Barcelona, giving the world a rare look at her bikini style. Although she's known for her signature oversize looks, Eilish has a history of wearing string bikinis and shared a photo of herself in a pink set last year. Eilish is currently on the European leg of her Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour and will resume shows in July. Billie Eilish is currently on the European leg of her Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour and took a little vacation in Barcelona ahead of her U.K. shows this July. She spent a night on the beach with friends—and gave a rare look at her vacation style in the process. The singer was filmed in the Mediterranean Sea, wearing a red string bikini. See footage here on TMZ. This isn't the first time Eilish has been seen in this style of swimwear. Last July, she shared a photo of herself in a pink string two-piece: View this post on Instagram A post shared by BILLIE EILISH (@billieeilish) And in June 2023, she appeared in a print string bikini top in her friend Annabel Zimmer's Instagram. View this post on Instagram A post shared by AB (@annabelzimmer) This April, Eilish answered questions from celebrities for British Vogue. Nicki Minaj asked Eilish about how she views herself, prompting Eilish to reflect candidly on her appearance. 'This may be an odd question, but you seem to be a bit uncomfortable with how beautiful you are at times,' Minaj said. 'I could be wrong. Many women from all walks of life have felt that their work was overshadowed by their beauty or their physical attributes. Was there ever a time in your career, or before you made it, when you wished people couldn't see you and that they could only hear the music, and really get a chance to just listen to the written words?' 'Nicki, this question made me tear up a little,' Eilish admitted. 'Well…like you said at the beginning of that question, I've never really felt very beautiful or seen myself in that way, so I definitely never struggled with the idea that it would overshadow anything, since I didn't even really see it myself. I've had to really convince myself that I am beautiful. Being a woman is hard.' She also spoke about how she unwinds while answering a question from Ariana Grande. 'I realized recently that I think my favorite thing in the world is to hangout,' she said with a laugh. 'Like, I just love being around people that I love, people that make me laugh and make me feel whole. You know: kindred souls. That's the stuff that keeps me sane. Laughing really is my cure.'
