Sources on the Real Madrid coaching staff thought Kylian Mbappe's difficult PSG exit had robbed him of some spark.
But they never doubted that it would return.
Then Wednesday vs. Man City happened.

🎙️Opinions on the independent football regulator have been easy to find of late. Facts? Not so much. So, we thought we’d ask @dcmsgovuk.bsky.social boss @lisanandymp.bsky.social some questions & she accepted 🙏.
Give it a listen & make your own minds up.

From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: Two weeks ago, at least 56 people and perhaps many more were killed as a football game turned into a tragedy. We traveled to Guinea to speak to those affected by one of the world's worst stadium disasters. nyti.ms/4iA2e5D
This is a special episode of The Athletic FC podcast where I report from the scene. It contains heartbreaking accounts of families who lost loved ones. Some still haven’t located them at hospitals or morgues.

Huge shout out to Producee Lucy for the mammoth effort to go to Kazakhstan, initially for fun but also to meet the fans out there and hear who they are.
Absolutely top notch show 🤩

My piece from Ipswich on the Rainbow Laces controversy and how LGBTQ+ fans are feeling.

Hugely deserved, well done guys
Incredible scenes at West Ham.
Home side have shown such few signs of cohesion yet the memories of previous Arsenal games being 4-0 up always haunt.
FIFA have given the Saudi bid for 2034 the same 4.1/5 score for its stadiums - despite eight not yet built - as they gave to the Canada-Mexico-USA bid for 2026, all of which are built, many of which are world leading NFL stadia.
I mean, how?
