Three Atlético stars under pressure to deliver immediately
Atlético Madrid has started the 2025 Club World Cup with a clear 0:4 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain. Significant weaknesses were evident in all parts of the team. For the second group match against the Seattle Sounders, coach Diego Simeone will have to draw personnel consequences. Particularly, three players were unable to convince against PSG. Rodrigo De Paul In central midfield, Rodrigo De Paul failed to bring order to the game. He made numerous ball losses and was inferior in many one-on-one situations. Especially in transition situations, it became clear that De Paul had hardly any access to the opponent's game structure. Advertisement He was also ineffective offensively, as he rarely moved sensibly into the spaces or brought tempo into the game. A temporary rotation seems sensible - players like Koke or Pablo Barrios could provide more control and presence in the center. Antoine Griezmann Antoine Griezmann was almost invisible. He was unable to give the game structure or creativity, remained without dangerous shots, and hardly found any connection to his teammates. His usually strong work against the ball was also hardly visible. Spanish media particularly criticized his passivity and lack of initiative in the offensive game. In a tournament with short recovery time, a break could do the veteran good - alternatives like Julián Álvarez or Alexander Sørloth offer themselves to bring fresh wind into the offense. Robin Le Normand In the central defense, Robin Le Normand revealed significant weaknesses. He was repeatedly poorly positioned, lost important one-on-one situations, and caused a penalty through a handball. His coordination with neighboring player Lenglet seemed error-prone, the center was open to PSG's fast attackers. Advertisement Especially with high balls and in positional play, he made simple but consequential mistakes. For the next game, a change in the defensive line is urgently needed. Players like José María Giménez or César Azpilicueta could provide more stability. Who disappointed you the most? Feel free to write your opinion in the comments.

Kevin Durant buys minority stake in Paris Saint-Germain, partners with QSI
PARIS (AP) — NBA star Kevin Durant has purchased a minority stake in Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain, the French club said Friday. Qatar Sports Investments, PSG's majority shareholder, signed an investment and strategic partnership agreement with Durant, the club said in a statement. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. 'Under the terms of the partnership, Durant — via his media and investment company Boardroom, co-founded with long-time business partner Rich Kleiman — will acquire a direct minority stake in the club,' PSG's statement said. The 36-year-old Phoenix Suns forward is a two-time NBA champion and one of the league's elite shot makers. Durant became the first four-time men's gold medalist in Olympic basketball history when the U.S. took gold at last summer's Paris Olympics. 'It is an honor to partner with QSI and be a shareholder in Paris Saint-Germain — a club and city that is deeply close to my heart," Durant said in comments provided by PSG. 'This club has big plans and I look forward to being part of the next phase of growth and exploring new investment opportunities with QSI.' The announcement comes amid talks between the NBA, FIBA and other entities about the process of adding a new league in Europe. As part of the deal, Boardroom Sports Holdings — Durant's personal investment vehicle, which holds stakes in a number of major sports teams and leagues — and QSI will join forces on a wide range of commercial, investment and content production initiatives. PSG added that Durant will support the club's diversification and growth strategy, as well as the development of the club's development in the U.S. and other international markets. He will also provide expertise on the club's multi-port strategy, including future plans in basketball. 'Together with Kevin, we look forward to developing ambitious initiatives that will drive the continued global growth of Paris Saint-Germain and QSI,' said PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi.
