Posa Returns For SL Benfica Match In Orlando
Press Release – Auckland City FC After a punishing 10-0 loss to Bayern Munich, the New Zealand side now face Portuguese powerhouse SL Benfica at Orlando's Inter&Co Stadium on June 20, in what could be a defining moment in Group C. Striker Myer Bevan, speaking after training in Chattanooga struck a tone of quiet determination: 'We've just got to move past that now and focus on the two games ahead.' The mood in camp is focused, not defeated. There's an understanding that while the odds are steep, the opportunity to compete on this stage is one they won't take for granted. SL Benfica, meanwhile, arrive in Orlando after a dramatic 2-2 draw with Boca Juniors. Their attacking quality is undeniable, Angel Di Maria, Nicolas Otamendi, and Vangelis Pavlidis bring UEFA Champions League pedigree. Bevan singled out Benfica's stars with admiration: 'Di Maria, obviously… and Otamendi – players like this have experienced the highest level for a very long time.' But he also hinted at a tactical opening: 'Maybe there's more space behind them… hopefully we can go at them as well as them coming at us.' Also bolstering the club's ranks is the return to the dugout of head coach Paul Posa who is back after a minor surgical procedure prevented him from travelling with the team on 2 June. The draw between SL Benfica and Boca Juniors means goal difference could be decisive, and the Navy Blues will be hoping they may find more room to operate if SL Benfica push forward aggressively. This isn't just about survival, it's about showing they belong. Auckland City FC know they're underdogs, but they've been here before. And in Orlando, under the Florida sun, they'll look to write a new chapter, one built on resilience, not reputation.

Why is Kylian Mbappe not playing in Real Madrid vs Al Hilal FIFA Club World Cup 2025 match?
Kylian Mbappe has not been named in the Real Madrid squad for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 Group H match against Al Hilal at the Hard Rock Stadium on Wednesday. FOLLOW LIVE | REAL MADRID VS AL HILAL LIVE SCORE, FIFA CLUB WORLD CUP 2025 The fixture will mark a debut for former Real Madrid player Xabi Alonso, who will begin his tenure as manager of the club after taking over from Carlo Ancelotti. Real Madrid is among the favourites to lift the trophy and qualified for the competition after securing the UEFA Champions League in both 2021-22 and 2023-24 seasons, as it saw off Borussia Dortmund for their 15th continental crown. WHY IS KYLIAN MBAPPE NOT PLAYING IN REAL MADRID VS AL HILAL? Kylian Mbappe could not be in the squad due to an illness which stopped him from Real Madrid's training on Tuesday. The club said Mbappe had been suffering from a fever, and newly appointed manager Xabi Alonso, who will make his debut in the dugout in Wednesday's match, added that a decision on his participation would be made in the morning. 'Kylian was a bit better this morning, but he was not fully fit, so we thought it would be best for him to skip training. Let's see how it evolves, and we'll make a last-minute decision,' Alonso told a press conference on the eve of the clash at the Hard Rock Stadium. (With inputs from Reuters)
