HARRY BAMFORTH: Mourinho fights back the tears,battling to keep his enigmatic personal persona intact. This is something he tries to do throughout the new three-part docu-series.

With AC Milan announcing the renewal of Luka Modric, the Croatian legend could break Zlatan Ibrahimovic's record as the oldest player to feature for the Rossoneri. Luka Modric will remain on the pitch for at least one more season as AC Milan officially confirmed a one-year contract extension with the Croatian playmaker through June 2027. With another campaign on the horizon at San Siro, Modric is positioned to break Zlatan Ibrahimovic‘s long-standing record as the oldest player in Rossoneri history. Following days of optimism surrounding a new deal, AC Milan issued an official statement on July 23 confirming the agreement. “A key figure in the Rossoneri midfield since his arrival, Luka has brought his experience and quality to the service of the team, both on and off the pitch, with humility and great passion,” the club noted. After a decorated decade with Real Madrid, Modric made the move to Milan ahead of the 2025-26 season on an initial one-year deal through the 2026 World Cup. Having recently retired from international duty following Croatia’s World Cup run, the veteran midfielder chose to extend his club career at San Siro, a decision inspired by his childhood admiration for club icon Zvonimir Boban. His debut season in Milan proved challenging from a team perspective, as the Rossoneri finished fifth in Serie A to miss out on Champions League qualification, leading to an offseason coaching change that saw Rúben Amorim replace Massimiliano Allegri. “Ci vediamo presto" 🔜Parola di Luka Modrić pic.twitter.com/IybmopjSyg— AC Milan (@acmilan) July 23, 2026 Despite the team’s struggles, Modric remained a reliable engine in the midfield, making 37 appearances while recording two goals and three assists. His new deal retains his financial terms from last season: a €3.5 million base salary with bonuses pushing the total package to €4.5 million. Chasing Ibrahimovic’s longevity record The tactical pace of Serie A has offered a fitting environment for Modric to maximize his vision and game management late in his career. A central figure under Allegri at age 40, he is expected to serve as the brain in midfield under Amorim. Zlatan Ibrahimovic currently holds the title of the oldest player ever to feature in a competitive match for AC Milan. The Swedish striker set the benchmark during a Serie A fixture against Udinese in March 2023, taking the pitch at 41 years, five months, and 15 days old. Modric, who turns 41 in September 2026, will eclipse Ibrahimović’s mark if he features in the second half of the 2026-27 campaign. Should he play through the season’s conclusion in May 2027, the Croatian legend would push the club’s record to 41 years and eight months old.
Lionel Messi has once again etched his name into soccer history, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic has now weighed in with a remarkable assessment following the Argentina captain's latest World Cup heroics. Lionel Messi has once again etched his name into soccer history, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic has now weighed in with a remarkable assessment following the Argentina captain’s latest World Cup heroics. While the former Sweden striker’s full comments have attracted widespread attention, the reason behind his glowing praise only became truly clear after Messi produced another unforgettable performance on the biggest stage. The latest chapter in Messi’s legendary international career came as Argentina defeated Austria 2-0 in the 2026 World Cup, with the reigning world champion securing another victory thanks to two goals from its captain. The performance ensured Argentina booked its place in the knockout stage while adding yet another historic milestone to Messi’s extraordinary career. Messi arrived at the tournament already holding countless records, but his display against Austria elevated him into a category of his own. Although the Inter Miami forward missed an early penalty after Argentina was awarded a spot-kick following a VAR review, he refused to let that setback define his afternoon. Instead, the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner responded with two goals, taking his World Cup tally to 18 and becoming the outright leading goalscorer in men’s FIFA World Cup history. He moved beyond Germany legend Miroslav Klose and also surpassed Marta’s overall World Cup total of 17 goals, standing alone at the top of the all-time rankings. The record-breaking display followed his sensational hat-trick against Algeria in Argentina‘s opening group match, meaning Messi has scored five goals in his first two games of the 2026 tournament. Just days before celebrating his 39th birthday, he continues to deliver performances that defy expectations. Ibrahimovic explains why Messi stands above everyone else According to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Messi’s latest achievements have finally ended the long-running debate over soccer’s greatest player: “I don’t think there’s any debate left now. When you become the all-time top scorer in World Cup history, win the thing, dominate it across different generations, and keep producing at 38 years of age, what more do people want?” Messi doesn't play for Argentina.

Rather than focusing on one spectacular tournament, Ibrahimovic pointed to nearly two decades of consistent excellence at the World Cup. “We spend years comparing him to everyone else, but even the greats before him can’t match the complete body of work. Pele, Maradona, Cruyff, whoever you want to name, they were all brilliant, but Messi’s numbers, longevity, and trophies put him in a category of his own“, he told FOX Sports. Lionel Messi #10 of Argentina celebrates with teammates after scoring against Austria. Ibrahimovic leaves ego aside with honest Messi admission The Swedish legend eventually left his ego aside with an honest Messi admission after the five-goal World Cup start. “Five goals in two games… I have zero goals in two World Cups. So, I’m happy for him, and I hope he continues. His birthday is in a couple of days, so let him enjoy, because we’re all enjoying him by seeing him play so, amazing, just amazing, no words.” Ibrahimovic was equally impressed by the way Messi reacted after missing his first-half penalty against Austria. Rather than allowing the disappointment to affect him, the Argentina captain continued demanding possession before eventually deciding the match with two clinical finishes.

The American forward arrives at the tournament determined to help the USMNT make a deep run on home soil, but events surrounding Milan have created a storm that is impossible to ignore. While Christian Pulisic prepares to lead the United States national team at the 2026 World Cup, his club future is unfolding against the backdrop of remarkable uncertainty in Italy. The American forward arrives at the tournament determined to help the USMNT make a deep run on home soil, but events surrounding Milan have created a storm that is impossible to ignore. The Italian giant has entered one of the most turbulent periods in its recent history. Following a disappointing campaign and a dramatic restructuring of its leadership, the Rossoneri now find themselves scrambling to restore order while concerns grow about the club’s readiness for the 2026-27 season. Pulisic heads into the World Cup carrying renewed confidence after ending a lengthy scoring drought during the United States‘ friendly victory over Senegal. The winger contributed both a goal and an assist, providing a timely boost before the biggest tournament of his career. Away from international duty, however, Milan remains trapped in uncertainty. Several senior figures have already departed, key decisions remain unresolved, and players across the squad reportedly have little clarity regarding the direction of the project. Christian Pulisic of AC Milan looks on prior a Serie A match According to Italian newspaper Tuttosport, the situation has become so chaotic that many players are unsure who they should even contact regarding their futures. Agents seeking information about potential transfers have reportedly found themselves without clear points of communication inside the club structure. The leadership vacuum creating concern The current crisis stems from Milan’s decision to remove several high-ranking figures following the conclusion of the season. Former head coach Massimiliano Allegri, CEO Giorgio Furlani, sporting director Igli Tare, and technical director Geoffrey Moncada all left their positions in a sweeping overhaul. The move effectively reset the entire organizational structure. While ownership viewed the changes as necessary to begin a new era, the immediate aftermath has left several of the club’s most important positions vacant. Thus, acting responsibilities have temporarily been handed to the interim CEO, Massimo Calvelli, while owner Gerry Cardinale and senior advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic continue searching for long-term solutions. Ibrahimovic headlines the list of analysts The uncertainty has extended beyond the boardroom. Coaching candidates have reportedly been approached, but progress has been slower than expected, adding further anxiety ahead of preseason preparations. The crucial deadline explained The most significant development emerged when Italian soccer authorities reportedly contacted Milan regarding an important administrative requirement. According to Corriere della Sera and other Italian reports, the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) recently reminded the club that it must submit the necessary documentation required for registration in the 2026-27 Serie A season by June 16. The paperwork includes confirmation of key organizational positions such as the head coach, sporting director, technical director, and other senior management roles. Because many of those positions remain unfilled following the recent overhaul, the reminder has attracted widespread attention. “Milan has until June 16 to file the paperwork to register for the new season,” Corriere della Sera’s report indicates regarding the federation’s warning. Christian Pulisic of AC Milan looks on Exclusion fears – Overstated or grim reality? Multiple reports emphasize that the federation’s reminder is largely procedural. Clubs routinely submit documentation near deadlines, particularly during periods of restructuring. Milan remains financially stable and continues to meet the fundamental sporting
