Gareth Bale makes takeover approach to buy former Premier League club from unpopular owner following Plymouth links
GARETH BALE wants to buy hometown club Cardiff. The Wales legend is leading a consortium to take over the League One side. 3 3 Bale's group sent a letter of intent to Bluebirds owner Vincent Tan last month, which was rejected. But it is believed the desire to acquire the club, relegated from the Championship, remains strong. The 35-year-old was born in Cardiff and his uncle Chris Pike played for the Welsh club as a striker between 1989 and 1993. Bale, who had a glittering career for Southampton, Tottenham, Real Madrid and LAFC as well as for the Dragons, had been linked with a takeover at Plymouth. He led his country to their first World Cup since 1958 as well as appearing at two Euros finals, including the incredible run to the 2016 semi-finals. Bale is also Wales' most-capped player on 111 caps and record goalscorer after netting 41 times. He did not play for Cardiff but the ex-forward did have talks with the club in 2022 after he left Real. Instead, Bale went to LAFC before he officially retired in January 2023. Bale's potential investment in Cardiff comes just weeks after ex-Spurs and Real team-mate Luka Modric became a co-owner of south Wales rivals Swansea. Cardiff appointed Brian Barry-Murphy this week ahead of their first campaign in the third tier since 2003.

Flamengo vs Chelsea - Club World Cup: Live score, team news and updates as the Blues look to make it two wins from two
After completing a £30million move from Ipswich Town following an impressive season for the Tractor Boys despite their Premier League relegation, Liam Delap will be looking to bag his first goal for his new club tonight. Confirmation of whether or not he will start should be coming shortly. With both sides winning their opening game in the competition, it is all up for grabs tonight. As both LAFC and ES Tunis are on zero points, a win for either side would virtually guarantee their safe passage to the knockout stages. We have half of the team news for this evening's clash - with confirmation that Jorginho will start against his former club having left their rivals Arsenal as a free agent earlier this summer. Chelsea will be looking to make it back-to-back wins in the Club World Cup after beating LAFC 2-0 on Monday night thanks to goals from Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez. Chelsea fans are going to be heavily outnumered here in Philly, because there are thousands of Flamengo supporters tailgating outside of the Lincoln Financial Field. They're up for it. Brazilian sides are unbeaten at the Club World Cup, by the way. Palmeiras, Botafogo, Fluminense and Flamengo – none of them have lost. A few reasons for that, perhaps, including they are only 11 games into their domestic season in Brazil whereas this match represents Chelsea's 59th of 2024-25. The Brazilians are used to playing in 30-odd degrees, too, after all.

Neto, Fernández each score to lead Chelsea over LAFC 2-0 in Club World Cup
by Naharnet Newsdesk 17 June 2025, 17:09 Pedro Neto scored in the first half and Enzo Fernández in the 79th minute to give Chelsea a 2-0 win over Los Angeles FC in Group D's Club World Cup opener on Monday. Chelsea put pressure on LAFC goalkeeper Hugo Lloris early in the match. Neto scored in the 34th minute, picking up a pass from Nicolas Jackson and cutting onto his left foot for a near-post finish. There were 22,137 fans in attendance at the 71,000-capacity Mercedes-Benz Stadium, many of them backing LAFC. The Black and Gold had positive sparks of energy and possession throughout the first half, but struggled to find any real opportunities in front of goal. LAFC almost got one back just before the 60-minute mark, but Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sánchez came up with a save to keep Denis Bouanga off the scoresheet. The Black and Gold aimed to get some more experience onto the pitch at the half, bringing on former Chelsea man Olivier Giroud. Giroud made a stir as he subbed on when he had to wait on the sidelines for a matchday shirt with his name and number. The mixup led to a delay in the start of the second half. Coming in off the bench, Fernández made no mistake finishing Liam Delap's cross, adding an insurance goal for The Blues. Key moment Chelsea's day was made even more positive by the debut of Delap, a promising 22-year-old English striker signed from Ipswich Town. Takeaways While Chelsea is the favorite to top Group D, LAFC's next two matches become essential to moving on to the knock-out rounds. LAFC vs. Flamengo will prove to be an entertaining game, with the two sides most likely battling it out for the group's second spot. What They Said "It's a high level against a quality team. If you give them a moment, they'll punish you. They had two chances, and they punished us." — Marky Delgado, LAFC midfielder. "We know they've got amazing players and they're a really good team, but we've got to play our football. No matter who we're playing, we play our football really confident. … You've got to pick your moments, and I think we've done that well today." — Levi Colwill, Chelsea defender.
