🎥 Club World Cup shock: PSG out, Botafogo through, brawl in stands 🤯
Plot twist at the Club World Cup: PSG falls in Pasadena at the hands of Botafogo, which is the first team to qualify for the round of 16. In the clash between the European champions and the South American champions, the Brazilians prevail thanks to a goal by Igor Jesus in the 36th minute, finishing a counterattack initiated by Saverino with a low right-footed shot: Donnarumma is caught off guard by a deflection from Pacho. Advertisement A victory achieved more through sacrifice and organization than spectacle. PSG, strangely disorganized and ineffective, suffers from rotations and a sterile offensive maneuver. In the second half, Luis Enrique tries to revolutionize the team but to no avail. Noteworthy in the same match were disturbances in the stands, where Botafogo and PSG fans ended up fighting. The group is completely reopened also thanks to Atlético Madrid, which celebrates its first victory at the Club World Cup by defeating the Seattle Sounders 3‑1. Pablo Barrios scores a brace in the 11th and 55th minutes, while Axel Witsel doubles shortly after the start of the second half. Seattle shortens the gap with Rusnák in the 50th minute, but it is not enough to reopen the game. The Colchoneros show a reaction of pride after the defeat to PSG, demonstrating greater intensity, control, and a desire to get back in the game. Now PSG needs to win against Seattle to avoid the risk of elimination; if victory does not come, at least a favorable result from Botafogo against Atletico would guarantee progression to the next round.

Donnarumma issues update on PSG future as Man Utd lurk after private talks
Manchester United had been eyeing a summer move for Gianluigi Donnarumma, with the Italian keeper entering the final year of his contract at Paris Saint-Germain Gianluigi Donnarumma is confident he will sign a new contract with Paris Saint-Germain as he confirmed his agent remains locked in talks with the French champions. Donnarumma arrived at the Parc des Princes in 2021. He has enjoyed a highly-successful spell in the French capital since then, winning 10 major trophies. The Italian was a key member of the team which won the treble this season, storming to the Ligue 1 title, beating Reims in the Coupe de France final and smashing Inter Milan in the Champions League final. Despite his importance to Luis Enrique's side and his standing as one of the world's top keepers, the 26-year-old's contract is set to expire next summer. That has led to growing uncertainty over his future in the French capital. That uncertainty has attracted the eye of a number of suitors, including Manchester United. The Red Devils are looking for a new keeper this summer following the abject performance of Andre Onana. Onana kept just nine clean sheets in the Premier League last season, frequently drawing criticism. Donnarumma emerged as a potential replacement for the Cameroon international earlier this summer. But in a fresh blow to United boss Ruben Amorim, Donnarumma has confirmed that talks are progressing. He also insisted that he had full faith in his agent to get a deal done while he focused on the Club World Cup. "Yes, we are moving forward. My agent is talking to the club. I am focused on the match and the trophy, but we have no problems," he said ahead of PSG's clash with Botafogo. "I always give 100 percent for this club and the supporters, it's a club that has given me everything, playing for PSG is incredible. The Club World Cup is a very important competition for us. "We must continue to remain 100 per cent focused to reach the final and the trophy. Everyone is hungry for victories, to win titles; it's important for now and for next year.' The chance to sign Donnarumma would be too good to turn down for United. The Italian was player of the tournament as his country won Euro 2020, just before his move to PSG. According L'Equipe, he keeper has already had private talks with his international team-mates about a potential move to the Premier League. But earlier this month, Donnarumma made it clear he wanted to remain in Paris. "My priority is to stay at PSG, I don't think there will be any problems in the negotiations," he told Sky Sports Italia after Italy beat Moldova in a World Cup qualifier. "We're a great team."

Report – PSG Inching Towards Extending Contract Of Inter Milan Target
PSG are inching towards agreeing a new contract for Inter Milan-linked goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews. They report that the parties are moving forward in talks, although there is still work for them to do. Advertisement At the moment, goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is under contract with Paris Saint-Germain until the end of next June. The Italian international is still on the same five-year deal he signed in 2021. That was when he joined on a free transfer from AC Milan. PSG Inching Towards New Deal With Inter Target Gianluigi Donnarumma LONDON, ENGLAND – APRIL 29: Gianluigi Donnarumma of Paris Saint-Germain celebrates after teammate Ousmane Dembele (not pictured) scores his team's first goal during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Semi Final First Leg match between Arsenal FC and Paris Saint-Germain at Emirates Stadium on April 29, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by) Should Donnarumma not sign a contract extension with PSG, he will be available on a free transfer in twelve months' time. That would certainly present a tempting opportunity for a number of clubs. Inter Milan are certainly among the clubs to have shown an interest. The Nerazzurri are no strangers to big name free transfers – and Donnarumma would certainly be a major replacement for Yann Sommer. Advertisement However, for Inter, everything would be dependent on Gianluigi Donnarumma leaving PSG for free next summer. According to Sky Sport Italia, the Parisians are very much working to tie the 26-year-old on a new deal. There is still no agreement on an extension with Donnarumma. However, the negotiations are ongoing, and according to Sky, making progress.

"Everyone Is Hungry": PSG Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma Sends Major Warning To Club World Cup Opponents
Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma warned Wednesday that the newly crowned European champions were "hungry" for more success at the Club World Cup as they prepared to face Brazil's Botafogo. The French giants launched their Group B campaign in impressive style on Sunday, sweeping aside Atletico Madrid 4-0 at the Pasadena Rose Bowl. The victory marked a seamless entrance to the tournament for PSG, a little over two weeks after their 5-0 drubbing of Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League final. Italy's Donnarumma said the team were intently focused on winning a fifth piece of silverware this season after starting the tournament "the same way we finished" the Champions League. "The Club World Cup is a very important competition for us, we must continue to remain 100 percent focused to reach the final and the trophy," the goalkeeper told reporters ahead of Thursday's clash with Botafogo at the Rose Bowl. "Everyone is hungry for victories, to win titles; it's important for now and for next year," he added after training at the University of California. Spanish midfielder Fabian Ruiz said that PSG were comfortable with being tournament favourites. "It's positive if everyone is talking about us, isn't it?" he said. "For our game, what we're doing. But we don't feel that pressure, we don't think about that, but rather about the next match." PSG's opponents Botafogo reached the Club World Cup by winning the Copa Libertadores for the first time in 2024. The Brazilian side opened their campaign with a 2-1 win over the Seattle Sounders on Sunday. PSG's Portugal international striker Goncalo Ramos said Botafogo were an unknown quantity. "I know them a little, I know the coach, but I don't watch many of their matches because they play late. But they're a good team, it's different for us to play against a team from Brazil," Ramos said. After Thursday's game at the Rose Bowl, PSG will travel north to Seattle for their final group match against the Sounders on Monday.

Gianluigi Donnarumma warns PSG ‘hungry' for more success at Club World Cup
IRVINE – Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma warned on June 18 that the newly crowned European champions were 'hungry' for more success at the Fifa Club World Cup, as they prepared to face Brazil's Botafogo. The French giants launched their Group B campaign in impressive style on June 15, sweeping aside Spanish side Atletico Madrid 4-0 at the Pasadena Rose Bowl. The victory marked a seamless entrance to the tournament for PSG, a little over two weeks after their 5-0 drubbing of Inter Milan in the Uefa Champions League final. Italy's Donnarumma said the team were intently focused on winning a fifth piece of silverware this season after starting the tournament 'the same way we finished' the Champions League. 'The Club World Cup is a very important competition for us, we must continue to remain 100 per cent focused to reach the final and the trophy,' the goalkeeper told reporters ahead of the June 19 (June 20, Singapore time) clash with Botafogo, also at the Rose Bowl. 'Everyone is hungry for victories, to win titles; it's important for now and for next year,' he added after training at the University of California. Spanish midfielder Fabian Ruiz, meanwhile, said PSG were comfortable with being tournament favourites. 'It's positive if everyone is talking about us, isn't it?' he said. 'For our game, what we're doing... But we don't feel that pressure, we don't think about that, but rather about the next match.' While it is all positive in the PSG camp, coach Luis Enrique has also warned against complacency. 'It is only the first game (against Atletico),' the Spaniard said. 'What we did shows the quality of the team, the desire that the team has to come to this tournament and fight for a higher place on the podium... but it is only the beginning and there are still many things left to happen.' PSG's opponents Botafogo reached the Club World Cup by winning the Copa Libertadores for the first time in 2024. The Brazilian side opened their campaign with a 2-1 win over the Seattle Sounders on June 15. PSG's Portugal international striker Goncalo Ramos said Botafogo were an unknown quantity. 'I know them a little, I know the coach, but I don't watch many of their matches because they play late. But they're a good team, it's different for us to play against a team from Brazil,' he said. After the game at the Rose Bowl, PSG will travel north to Seattle for their final group match against the Sounders on June 23. In related news, Spanish World Cup winner Olga Carmona said she is ready to step up another level with PSG after signing with the French club for three seasons on June 18. The 25-year-old left-back arrives in the French capital after five years with Real Madrid, having started her footballing career at her hometown club Sevilla in 2017. 'I'm very excited and motivated by this new challenge, the idea of joining a big club,' she said. 'It was the moment to leave my comfort zone to continue to grow as a player and as a person. When I arrived (at Real) I was a young girl and I leave a woman. I dared to take up this challenge and I am very happy about it. I think that we can do a lot of great things, I'm here to win.' Carmona scored the winning goal in Spain's 2023 World Cup final victory over England in Sydney. Despite other tempting offers, PSG was a dream move for the former Real captain. 'Paris is a city that I've always loved... this club has always attracted me,' she added. 'From the moment that I decided to leave Madrid, I wanted to learn about another culture, another country and language. Now I have to learn French... I'll do my best to adapt as quickly as possible and bring a lot to the team.' AFP, REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.
