After disappointing start, Sergio Busquets admits that 'Inter Miami not at the level to compete in FIFA World Cup 2025'
Lionel Messi. New Delhi: The MLS team has failed to impress in their first match against Al Ahly and need to perform an uphill task to qualify in the knockout stages 'It's clear that we're not at the level to compete in the Club World Cup,' Sergio Busquets said to DAZN ahead of Inter Miami's opening fixture at the inaugural edition of FIFA's expanded competition in the United States. 'But we'll try to compete in the group, take it game by game, fight, and hopefully move on to the next round, although it's going to be tough,' added Busquets. Of course, such candid talk by Busquets left some eyebrows raised. He is one of four Barcelona legends in the Miami team with Lionel messi, Luis Suarez, and Jordi Alba, and they can include one more in the coach, Javier Mascherano. Those five men together have won 10 Club World Cups at Barca but those were in the old seven-team system, when they were the favourites to win the trophy in all those cases. Comparatively and contrarily, this is the first ever international competition that Miami has participated in and right now, they rank at no.146 out of all the 32 teams contesting at this summer World Cup and are placed number nine behind all 32 of the teams ranked by Opta as registered professional clubs and which includes every sport and type of club from across the world. No wonder then that Miami were unable to raise anything above a 0-0 draw against Egyptians Al Ahly, in their initial match. Mascherano even came close to losing the match that was supposed to be their most comfortable in the group aided by a splendid performance delivered by goalkeeper Oscar Ustari. It is fair to imagine that Porto and Palmeiras are more inclined to take advantage of blatant shortcomings in Miami set-up as it appears that Busquets was just spot on when he declared that Miami are in over their heads and even with a 38-years old Messi who is still doing exceptionally well to survive onslaught of Father Time, their inaugural Club World Cup is destined to end up in disappointment.

FIFA told to ‘eliminate' Club World Cup by La Liga president
La Liga president Javier Tebas has told FIFA to abandon their newly-expanded Club World Cup. Tebas said it was his 'goal' to ensure that there were no more editions of the month-long, 32-team version of the tournament, which is currently being staged in the U.S. Spanish top flight clubs Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are both involved in the tournament, which Tebas has called on FIFA to 'eliminate' from the football calendar. 'My goal is to ensure there are no more Club World Cups, that's very clear,' said Tebas, speaking on Tuesday at an event marking the 10-year anniversary of the centralisation of La Liga's audiovisual rights. 'There's no need for another competition that moves money to a sector of clubs and players,' Tebas said. 'There's no more money here; we have to maintain the ecosystem and eliminate this.' The 62-year-old has long been at odds with Real president Florentino Perez over a multitude of issues, most notably the Super League project that was strongly promoted by Madrid. Tebas said his issues with Perez were 'not personal' but added: 'He is from a completely different industry model. He defends a Super League that would destroy the national leagues.' The Spanish league president said that 'piracy' and 'new competitions' were the two main threats facing his organisation. In April 2024, Tebas insisted that he wanted to stage La Liga matches abroad by 2025-26, saying that a match in the U.S. would 'strengthen our position in the North American market'. (FREDERIC J.

Bayern Munich demolish Auckland City to kick off Club World Cup campaign
CINCINNATI, UNITED STATES: Bayern Munich began their Club World Cup campaign in emphatic fashion with a ruthless 10-0 demolition of Auckland City on Sunday, as Jamal Musiala marked his return from injury with a brilliant second-half hat-trick in a commanding team display. Kingsley Coman opened the scoring in the sixth minute, heading home at the far post after a Joshua Kimmich corner. The Bundesliga champions then took full control with a three-goal burst in as many minutes, as Sacha Boey smashed in a low shot from a Coman pass in the 18th minute for his first goal for Bayern, Michael Olise added a third with a simple tap-in moments later and Coman netted his second in the 21st minute. Thomas Mueller then made it 5-0 just before the break, volleying in from close range after an Olise assist, and the French winger grabbed his second with a superb curling effort from outside the box. With a dominant lead at halftime, Bayern coach Vincent Kompany made several changes, including handing a senior debut to 17-year-old Lennart Karl. "I wanted to give Karl his opportunity, he showed lots of quality, it was great for him and great for Bayern," Kompany told reporters. "We have a strong basis from last season and we can still give young players an opportunity to succeed, he may play an important role in the next rounds." Substitute Musiala curled a trademark finish into the far corner in the 67th minute, before calmly converting a penalty he earned six minutes later and pouncing on a defensive blunder to score his third in the 84th. Mueller also completed his double by sealing the rout in the 89th minute, as Bayern recorded the biggest win in the history of men's Club World Cups. Despite the heavy defeat, Auckland coach Ivan Vicelich — who noted before the match that several of his players had to take time off from their day jobs — said he was proud of his team's effort. "To be proud of the players is what we're after. It's a dream coming from an amateur level to play in this environment," he said. "You can't hide on the field. (I'm) really proud, a lot of players put in a good amount and worked really hard." The 13-time OFC Champions League winners Auckland will face Benfica on Friday, while Bayern meet Argentine giants Boca Juniors on the same day in Group C action. "The next game against Boca Juniors will be the highlight of the group stage," Kompany added.

FIFA Club World Cup: Bayern hammer 10 past Auckland City, PSG ease past Atletico Madrid
Bayern Munich began their Club World Cup campaign in emphatic fashion with a ruthless 10-0 demolition of Auckland City on Sunday, as Jamal Musiala marked his return from injury with a brilliant second-half hat-trick in a commanding team display.

The 13-time OFC Champions League winners Auckland will face Benfica on Friday, while Bayern meet Argentine giants Boca Juniors on the same day in Group C action. Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain later beat fellow European heavyweights Atletico Madrid 4-0 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. PSG landed the first blow when Fabian Ruiz fired home from distance in the 19th minute as they showed no signs of rust in their first match since trouncing Inter Milan 5-0 to win their first Champions League title last month. PSG doubled their advantage just before halftime when an Antoine Griezmann miss led to a counter-attack that ended with Vitinha firing home under sunny skies in Southern California. The La Liga side appeared to have pulled one back when Julian Alvarez found the net in the 57th minute but it was overturned after a VAR review determined Koke had fouled Desire Doue in the leadup to the strike. Substitute Senny Mayulu added a third goal for PSG in the 87th minute to end any hopes of an Atletico Madrid comeback, while Lee Kang-in fired home a stoppage-time penalty to round off the scoring.
