Latest Football News, PSG wins Ligue 1 again after missing out last year to Lille. On the other hand, Bayern Munich has won the Bundesliga for the tenth time straight, continuing their domination om German soil.
Latest Football News: PSG wins Ligue 1
PSG have now won eight of the last 10 Ligue 1 titles, having only been denied by Monaco in 2017 and Lille last year; some ultra fans left the Parc des Princes 15 minutes before the final whistle.
Lionel Messi's goal was cancelled out by Corentin Jean as PSG were left on 78 points, 16 ahead of second-placed Olympique de Marseille who will play their game in hand at Stade de Reims on Sunday.
Sealing the Ligue 1 title, however, was not a cause for celebration for some ultra fans who left the Parc des Princes 15 minutes before the final whistle as they were still frustrated by the team's early exit from the Champions League.
PSG were knocked out in the last 16 after squandering a 2-0 aggregate lead in 15 minutes against Real Madrid. Fans from the Boulogne and Auteuil stands did not show their support once again despite the team having won their previous four games, scoring 16 goals during that run.
Bayern Munich wins Bundesliga:
Bayern Munich beat Borussia Dortmund 3-1 on Saturday to secure their 10th straight Bundesliga title with three games left to play in the season.

First-half goals from Serge Gnabry and Robert Lewandowski put the hosts 2-0 up before Emre Can cut the deficit with a 52nd-minute penalty. Jamal Musiala got Bayern's third goal seven minutes from the end.
Bayern - 12 points clear of second-placed Dortmund - have now won 31 Bundesliga titles since the introduction of the top division in 1963, and 32 Germanr league crowns in all.
Bayern were desperate to seal the title - their only silverware of the season - in the league's big game in front of a 75,000-strong home crowd to make up for their Champions League quarter-final shock exit to Villarreal earlier this month.
It was Bayern's eight consecutive league win over Dortmund, who have not won a game in Munich since 2014.

Sep 17, 2025, 9:16 PM
Full-time | Ajax 0-2 Inter
Last season's beaten finalists start in impressive fashion, Marcus Thuram heading both goals as Inter see off Ajax.
The Dutch side were unfortunate not to score when an excellent Yann Sommer denied Mika Godts' save before the opening goal, but Cristian Chivu's first experience of the UEFA Champions League as a coach produced a confident victory for the visitors.
Luis Enrique can’t have wished for much more. A swashbuckling attacking display that included four goals and a well-deserved clean sheet.
After a league phase campaign fraught with jeopardy last time round, Paris start their quest for a second consecutive Champions League crown in the most consummate of ways.
As for Atalanta, they toiled and stuck to their task, but will now focus on picking up their first points against Club Brugge in two weeks time.
Sep 17, 2025, 9:09 PM
Full time | Liverpool 3-2 Atletico
Liverpool found a way for a hard-fought three points in their league phase opener.
Atleti deserve huge credit for their response to falling 2-0 down. The hosts fashioned the better chances after the interval, with Mohamed Salah striking the post, but Marcos Llorente’s late volley was cancelled out by Virgil Van Dijk right at the end.
Sep 17, 2025, 7:53 PM
Half-time | Liverpool 2-1 Atletico Madrid
Liverpool could hardly have wished for a better start at Anfield after Andy Robertson’s fortuitous opener and Mohamed Salah’s fine effort, but Atleti have done well to gain a foothold and managed to half the deficit through Marcos Llorente on the stroke of half-time.
The hosts will need to hit the ground running in the second half, otherwise it might be back to square one for Arne Slot's team.
Sep 17, 2025, 7:53 PM
Half-time | Ajax 0- 1 Inter
After something of a shaky start, Ajax managed to find their way back into the game.
Ironically, they had the best chance of taking the lead – Yann Sommer saving expertly from Mika Godts – seconds before Marcus Thuram headed the visitors in front at the other end.
John Heitinga’s men will now have to commit more men forward in search of an equaliser, which could play into Inter’s hands.
Sep 17, 2025, 7:53 PM
Half-time | PSG 2-1 Atalanta
A consummate performance befitting of champions. Paris have started their European campaign in much the same vein they finished the last - in total control. In truth, Atalanta had done well to limit the hosts to Marquinhos’ close-range finish, with Marco Carnesecchi largely to thank, but Khvicha Kvaratskhelia eventually added a sumptuous second.
Bradley Barcola’s missed penalty is the only blemish, while Atalanta will be grateful for the half-time break.
Against Atletico Madrid, Andrew Robertson and Mohamed Salah have found the net for Liverpool within first 6 minutes of the match.
Sep 17, 2025, 7:08 PM
Full time: Praha 2-2 Bodo
What a contest we have witnessed! Both teams gave everything, competing all the way. Slavia earned a two-goal advantage thanks to a pair of strikes from Youssoupha Mbodji on his full debut, butBodø/Glimt displayed the character they so often showed during last season's run to the Europa League semi-finals thanks to substitutes Sondre Brunstad Fet and Daniel Bassi. A breathtaking evening, with both clubs showing why they play at this level.
Sep 17, 2025, 6:54 PM
Full time: Olympiacos 0-0 Pafos
Pafos make a memorable debut in the UEFA Champions League, taking a point despite having ten players for more than an hour. Olympiacos applied plenty of pressure around the opposition box but may feel their finishing could have been better, while the Cypriot club managed to disarm them and escape unscathed.
Up next, potentially greater hurdles for both sides: Olympiacos travel to London for their game against Arsenal, while Pafos play host to Bayern Munich.

Full-time: Real Madrid 2-1 Marseille
A pair of penalties from Kylian Mbappé helped Real Madrid turn a deficit into victory in Xabi Alonso's first Champions League game at the helm.
After withstanding early pressure from the hosts, Marseille struck first through Timothy Weah's emphatic finish, but Alonso's side were quickly level when Mbappé converted from the spot following a foul by Geoffrey Kondogbia on Rodrygo.
Although Madrid had Dani Carvajal sent off in the 72nd minute, Mbappé struck again with nine minutes left after Facundo Medina was penalised for handball.
Sep 17, 2025, 5:05 AM
Full time: Juventus 4-4 Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund and Juventus shared the spoils after an eight-goal thriller in Turin thatequalled the record for the highest-scoring Champions League draw.
Khéphren Thuram and Loïs Openda both went close for the hosts in the first half, before Karim Adeyemi’s 52nd-minute finish sparked the encounter into life.
Kenan Yıldız, Felix Nmecha and Dušan Vlahović all scored in a four-minute flurry before Yan Couto's powerful finish made it 3-2 to Dortmund.
The visitors looked to have sealed victory through Ramy Bensebaini's 85th-minute penalty, but Juventus rescued a draw in added time thanks to Dušan Vlahović's finish and a Lloyd Kelly header.
Sep 17, 2025, 4:58 AM
Full time: Benfica 2-3 Qarabag
Qarabağ claim a historic win here in Lisbon – and few can argue with the result. Benfica were 2-0 up after 16 minutes, but after Leandro Andrade’s goal, the Azerbaijan champions grew in confidence and made the most of their momentum to level and ultimately win it in the closing stages. Welcome back, Champions League!
Sep 16, 2025, 6:51 PM
Full time: PSV 1-3 USG
What an excellent performance by Sébastien Pocognoli’s men. Throughout the match they seemed able to absorb any pressure, remain calm when in possession, and now and again turn up the heat to inflict damage on the home side.
Great displays all round, with Anouar Ait El Hadj and Christian Burgess particularly impressive. An amazing start to the club’s UEFA Champions League career.
Sep 16, 2025, 6:48 PM
Full time | Athletic 0-2 Arsenal
Substitutes Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard strike to give Arsenal a winning start in a tight contest in Bilbao, where Athletic Club performed admirably on their much-anticipated return to the competition.
Sep 16, 2025, 5:39 PM
Half-time | Athletic 0-0 Arsenal
Arsenal have failed to score in Spain in the first half.
Mikel Arteta's men looked good but not sharp enough. Meantime Athletic have done well to defend and attack on the chances they got.
Important 45 minutes to come.

90+4' | GOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLL | PSG 2-2 TOT
Goncalo Ramos scores and makes it level, with 2 minutes to go.
Dembele with a whipping, curling cross from the right, and Ramos was right in the middle to make everything level.
Chevalier would be disappointed with his, but Romero wins the space and header to extend the lead.
From a free-kick again, Romero was unmarked and had a free header at the far post. Romero's header bounced on the ground first, which made it difficult for Chevalier to make the save. But he should have done better there.
PSG 0-2 TOT.
Aug 13, 2025, 8:07 PM
47' | Save from Chevalier
Richarlison's powerful on-target shot was saved by Chevalier. He has been the best PSG player so far.

Second half starts
The second half starts with no changes to both teams.
It is Mickey van de Ven's goal that gave Spurs the lead. They were surely the better team with PSG looking a bit hot and clod throughout the entire 45 minutes.

Spurs take the lead.
Micky van de Ven scores the goal for the Europa League champions. His first-ever goal in European football.

Aug 13, 2025, 7:33 PM
23' | Chevalier makes a save
The Paris newcomer tips the shot from distance over the crossbar! Richarlison starts the move by winning possession, turning sharply and sending Mohammed Kudus away beyond the halfway line, the winger returning the pass to the forward in the right channel.
The No9 shifts to his right and fires in a fierce right-footed effort, taking a slight deflection before Lucas Chevalier uses his right palm to divert the ball behind. Tottenham's coaching staff show their appreciation.

Match: PSG vs Tottenham Hotspur, UEFA Super Cup 2025
Whenever a new transfer window arrives, with more money coming into the game, we see more spending and expensive buys from clubs around the world. However, along with experienced and proven footballers, football clubs always tend to buy new, exciting teenage footballers, even before they become stars.
Today, in this article, we will list the 20 most expensive teenagers in football transfer history.
20 Most expensive teenagers in football transfer history
Please note that the fee is based on Transfermarkt's data and is accurate as of August 7, 2025.
20. Javier Saviola – River Plate to FC Barcelona – 2001 – €35.90m (Age 19)
Image | FC Barcelona
Javier Saviola's transfer to FC Barcelona from River Plate was the record fee for any teenager till it was later broken by Wayne Rooney. After scoring 24 goals in 41 matches, besides his 11 assists for River Plate, while winning the Argentine league in consecutive years, Saviola became the star FC Barcelona were looking for.
However, the transfer did not work that well for both him and the club as he was loaned out many times and went to play for Real Madrid in future as well.Saviola was recently the assistant manager of the Barcelona U19 team as well.
19. Josko Gvardiol – Dinamo Zagreb to RB Leipzig – 2021 – €36.8m (Age 19)
Image | transfermarkt.com
A Croatian defensive prodigy, Gvardiol impressed with his versatility and speed by playing as a ball-playing centre-back and left-back. His performances for Dinamo Zagreb and Croatia’s national team stirred RB Leipzig to break their transfer record.
Along with skill, Josko Gvardiol's physical strength and tactical intelligence made Leipzig pay €36.8m for the defender in 2021.
Two years later, Leipzig sold Gavrdiol to Manchester City for a whopping €90.00m.
18. Wayne Rooney – Everton to Manchester United – 2004 – €37m (Age 18)
Rooney with the fan who wanted United to buy him. Image | manchesterunited.com
One of England’sgreatest ever talents, Rooney was signed for a then-record fee for a teenager. His all-around attacking prowess, vision, and finishing skill justified the huge investment.
In the 2003/04 season for Everton, Rooney had already scored nine goals in the Premier League as a teenager, which made Sir Alex Ferguson sign the youngster for a record €37m.
Rooney became Manchester United’s all-time leading scorer with 253 goals in 559 official games, winning five Premier League titles and a Champions League trophy.
17. Luke Shaw – Southampton to Manchester United – 2014/15 – €37.5m (Age 18)
Image | MUFC on X
A highly rated left-back, Shaw was signed for his blend of strong defensive skills and speed. He was seen as the next big defender from England after John Terry, as he had done quite well at Southampton and England U-21s then.
Luke Shaw was bought by Manchester United in 2014 with a transfer fee of €37.5 million, making him one of the most expensive teenage footballers ever.
Despite serious injury setbacks, he has developed into a dependable member of United’s backline since then and continues to be a member of Ruben Amorim's team.
16. Yankuba Minteh – Newcastle United to Brighton – 2024 – €38.8m (Age 19)
Image | Brighton
A direct, pacey Gambian forward, Yankuba Minteh, earned his big move as Brighton always invests in young, aggressive talents to shape their Premier League competitiveness and future development.
Newcastle United were the first to sign him, but sent him on loan to Feyenoord, where he scored 11 goals and had five assists. Brighton then signed him permanently in the 2024/25 season, for €38.8m, making him one of the most expensive teenagers in football transfer history.
Last season, he had 12 goal contributions for Brighton in the Premier League.
Dejan after signing for Juventus. Image | Juventus
Dejan Kulusevski, the Swedish winger, scored 10 goals and assisted 9 times in Serie A in the 2019-20 season, leading Juventus to pay a premium to have him in the Winter transfer window.
Although he was brought to Turin with a €39m transfer fee from Atalanta BC, he was soon loaned out to Parma and Tottenham Hotspur. In 2023, he was eventually bought by Spurs with a transfer fee of €30.00 million.
14. Fabio Silva – Porto to Wolves – 2020/21 – €40m (Age 18)
Image | Wolves
Portuguese striker Fabio Silva came with impressive youth goal-scoring records for FC Porto U19 and the FC Porto team from the 2018-2020 season. Seeing his talent, Wolves paid a significant fee of €40m, hoping that his technical finishing and physicality would translate well into Premier League success.
However, he was soon loaned to various clubs. Last season, he joined the team after spending a season at UD Las Palmas on loan.

Dutch defender Jorrel Hato, who came through Ajax’s ranks, secured a big move to Chelsea. With Enzo Maresca and Chelsea’s long-term strategic vision for rebuilding their defence, Hato was supposed to be the next big thing for the Blues.
The left-back has a knack for scoring and contributing to goals as well. He had eight goal contributions in the 2024/25 Eredivisie for Ajax.

Hailed as one of Brazil’s brightest prospects, Endrick’s prolific youth scoring and sharp finishing caught the eye of Real Madrid.
Endrick was brought to Bernabeu by Carlo Ancelotti after he helped Palmeiras win the Brazilian league in successive previous seasons.
