Sérgio Conceição: does Santiago Giménez's red card make sense?
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here.
This Sunday, Santiago Giménez was in the eye of the storm after an absurd expulsion that limited AC Milan in their attack and dashed their hopes of sneaking into the Conference League. Sérgio Conceição spoke with the Italian press about the current situation of the team and the Mexican's red card. "THE KRYPTONITE OF SANTI GIMÉNEZ!! 😲🇲🇽 Santiago Giménez has been expelled twice against Roma, once playing for Feyenoord and now with Milan, but what's even more curious is that both were fouls against player Gianluca Mancini." "The VAR tonight is the same as in the match against Bologna: I'm not saying that Giménez's expulsion wasn't deserved or that with Beukema's expulsion we would have won the match against the rossoblu. But like this, it's not easy," he mentioned. AC Milan has one more match left in the season, to conclude a sports year to forget, as they are left out of all European competitions in the 2025-26 campaign.

The victory clinched a last 16 spot for Vincent Kompany's men. Player of the day 🔥 Harry Kane may have been a little subdued in Bayern's hammering of Auckland last time out but against Boca, the England international was at his influential best.

Harry Kane, Bayern Munich. 'I want to say sorry. To the club, the staff, my teammates, and all the fans watching, I let you down. Another red card… And honestly, I'm so angry at myself. I work hard every day to help the team not to put us in this kind of situation." Nicolas Jackson, Chelsea. Advertisement "We played a good game. The first half was very hot, but we created enough opportunities to be winning by more than one goal. Having more than two hours during half-time allowed us to analyse the game in more detail and position the midfielders and centre-backs in a way that we weren't doing, so they could be closer to the opponent and win the ball. We changed players to freshen up the team because it was a really difficult game. It was 6-0, we could have scored two more goals, but it's the right result." Bruno Lage, Benfica. What's next? 👀 We've got four more games today, starting with a fascinating clash between Mamelodi Sundowns and Borussia Dortmund. Then it's Inter's turn to face Japanese giants Urawa Red Diamonds.

Gasperini to make decision on Pellegrini, Dybala's future
Gian Piero Gasperini's Roma era has kicked off with the recent appointment of Frederic Massara as the club's new sporting director. With preseason set to begin on 13 July, Gasperini as well as his close collaborators will be called upon to evaluate the situation surrounding Lorenzo Pellegrini and Paulo Dybala, both of whom suffered season-ending injuries. Advertisement In fact, both have a contract worth over 6 million euros expiring in June 2026 and signing their replacements while keeping them in the squad is not recommended due to the club's salary budget constraints. When it comes to Pellegrini, it cannot be ruled out that Gasperini could try to restore his confidence by deploying him in a different role: mezzala or close to the attack, leaving the Argentine in the position of trequartista.
