During his presentation, new Inter Miami star Casemiro filled Lionel Messi with praise: "Messi is one of the gods, if not the god of football." Casemiro has emerged as Inter Miami’s marquee addition of the 2026 summer transfer window, instantly filling the high-profile defensive midfield void the club struggled to replace. Set to share the pitch with Lionel Messi, the Brazilian superstar offered glowing praise during his official introduction: “Messi is one of the gods, if not the god of football.“ Following his starting run with Brazil at the 2026 World Cup, Casemiro opted to join Inter Miami in free agency, providing the Herons with a proven defensive anchor in the wake of Sergio Busquets’ retirement. Although the 34-year-old made his club debut last Saturday, logging a full 90 minutes in a 1-0 road victory over CF Montreal, his formal unveiling took place Thursday at Nu Stadium. During Thursday’s press conference, as reported by journalist José Armando, Casemiro spoke passionately about teaming up with Messi: “I am living a dream to play with one of the greatest of all time. I want to enjoy it, I want to help him continue winning because he is a winner. He teams up with another player who wants to win, who wants to compete. In the end, the margin between winning and losing is always very close, we know that, but we want to compete, and we want to compete.“ Casemiro expressed gratitude to managing owner Jorge Mas and co-owner David Beckham, noting that despite lucrative interest from European suitors, South Florida was his top priority. “I had many options—I had offers in Italy, I had many teams reaching out—but I am exactly where I want to be,” he stated. Casemiro sobre la oportunidad de jugar con Messi: "Quiero ayudarle a seguir ganando; es el Dios del fútbol"#InterMiamiCF #Messi pic.twitter.com/9Lxx6yGgPI— José Armando (@Jarm21) July 30, 2026 He concluded by placing Messi among the most influential figures in sports history: “I want to enjoy that, being with him, making him win, making him greater; he is one of the gods, if not the god of football. So I want to enjoy it with him and keep winning with him.“ Since Busquets hung up his boots, Inter Miami struggled to replicate the midfield balance that drove their previous championship runs, a vulnerability Casemiro’s presence is expected to resolve. The five-time Champions League winner inked a deal through June 2027 that includes a club option through 2029. Casemiro joins exclusive club to play alongside Messi and Ronaldo During their prime years in Europe, Messi and Casemiro shared an intense rivalry on opposite sides of El Clasico, featuring in epic Barcelona–Real Madrid clashes alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, as well as heated international battles between Argentina and Brazil. Now in the twilight of his career, the decorated midfielder finds himself partnering with the player he once spent years trying to suppress. With the move, Casemiro becomes just the 28th player in soccer history to play alongside both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. He is also the eighth former Real Madrid player to subsequently share a locker room with Messi, joining Angel Di Maria, Sergio Ramos, Gonzalo Higuain, Achraf Hakimi, Keylor Navas, Pablo Sarabia, Fernando Gago, and Ezequiel Garay.

Federico Valverde has reflected on the former teammates who helped shape his career. A new chapter at Real Madrid has begun for Federico Valverde after being named the club’s first captain, with the midfielder revealing Luka Modric and Toni Kroos are among the former teammates who helped shape him during his time in the locker room in an interview with Real Madrid TV. Valverde said: “I grew a lot with the players I had the chance to share so many years with in the locker room, such as Dani Carvajal, Sergio Ramos, Toni Kroos, Luka Modrić and Lucas Vázquez. I will never get tired of naming them. They are players who helped me a lot to grow as a person, as a captain and as a player.” The midfielder joined Real Madrid in 2016 from Peñarol and initially played for the club’s youth teams before making his first-team debut in 2018. Since then, he has become one of the most important players in the squad, making more than 300 appearances for the club and winning multiple major trophies, including the Champions League and La Liga. Valverde on working with Mourinho The main change for Real Madrid as they try to leave behind two years without trophies was the hiring of José Mourinho, who already knows the expectations that come with managing such a club. Mourinho returned to the club (Alex Livesey/Getty Images) This was part of the excitement for Valverde because the midfielder proved to be very eager to work under an experienced coach like Mourinho, who should push the players to be at their best every day. Valverde said: “I am really looking forward to learning from him, listening to every piece of advice he gives me and getting as much as possible out of every second of every training session I get to share with him and his coaching staff. He is a special person who I can learn a lot from and take many things from.” Valverde on becoming Real Madrid captain The midfielder admitted that becoming the club’s first captain has filled him with emotion and pride. Valverde said: “I feel a lot of emotion and a great sense of honor. Whenever someone approaches me on the street or someone within my circle says that to me, it really fills you with pride and emotion.”
Before the final between Spain and Argentina, Iker Casillas commented the winner. After more than a month of competition, the 2026 World Cup final was set with Spain and Argentina reaching the tournament’s biggest stage. Moments after Argentina defeated England, Iker Casillas shared a message about the upcoming final. Casillas posted: “There won’t be a fourth ⭐️, Argentina! We’re going for our second!! Come on, Spain! This Sunday it’s the Finalissima… and the World Cup! Get both trophies ready, @FIFAWorldCup! You won’t be stitching the fourth ⭐️.” The legendary goalkeeper was present at several matches alongside fellow members of the team that made history in 2010, including Xavi, Sergio Ramos and Carles Puyol. Casillas on England’s match Spain’s semifinal was far less dramatic, as they controlled France throughout the match. The other semifinal was very different, with England taking the lead before Argentina completed a late comeback. No habrá una 4ª ⭐️, 🇦🇷! Vamos a por la 2ª!! Vamos 🇪🇸!— Iker Casillas (@IkerCasillas) July 15, 2026 What drew criticism was the approach after Anthony Gordon’s goal, as they focused almost entirely on defending their advantage by sitting deep. That was the main point highlighted by Casillas. Casillas posted: “England scored and immediately sat back. A cowardly approach. They barely left their own box and allowed Argentina to keep coming forward. The logical outcome followed. England lost the match entirely because of their game plan. They let Argentina dictate play for the final 30 minutes.” Casillas gives his verdict on the match The former goalkeeper believed England’s tactical approach was the main reason Argentina were able to complete the comeback. Casillas posted: “That simply can’t happen. Final: Spain vs Argentina. It’s going to be incredible! England committed footballing suicide.”
Casemiro appears set to begin a new chapter of his career after agreeing to join Inter Miami, a move that would see the experienced Brazilian midfielder continue playing at the highest level alongside Lionel Messi after years of sharing the pitch with Cristiano Ronaldo. Casemiro appears set to begin a new chapter of his career after agreeing to join Inter Miami, a move that would see the experienced Brazilian midfielder continue playing at the highest level alongside Lionel Messi after years of sharing the pitch with Cristiano Ronaldo. The transfer has generated excitement for more than just its soccer implications, as it would also place the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star into a unique piece of soccer history. With Messi already leading Inter Miami’s ambitious project and Ronaldo having shared some of Casemiro‘s greatest triumphs at Real Madrid, the transfer represents another landmark moment in the Brazilian’s decorated career. While the official announcement is still pending, reports indicate that all major details have already been agreed. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano: “Inter Miami complete deal to sign Casemiro as new midfielder, here we go! Verbal agreement sealed with all parties involved and all formal steps resolved, now waiting to sign and announce the Brazilian.” The reported agreement follows months of speculation linking Casemiro with Major League Soccer. Although several clubs, including LA Galaxy and teams from the Saudi Pro League, were credited with interest, Inter Miami ultimately won the race for one of the world’s most accomplished defensive midfielders. 🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Inter Miami complete deal to sign Casemiro as new midfielder, here we go!Verbal agreement sealed with all parties involved and all formal steps resolved, now waiting to sign and announce the Brazilian.Casemiro wants to play with Messi. Future in MLS. 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/gHty3SWAIM— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) June 20, 2026 Casemiro is expected to arrive as a free agent following the expiration of his Manchester United contract. The proposed three-year deal would reunite him with several familiar faces from Spanish soccer, including Messi, Luis Suarez, and Rodrigo De Paul, while strengthening an area the Herons have sought to improve since Sergio Busquets’ retirement. Casemiro set to join an exclusive soccer club Beyond the transfer itself, the Brazilian veteran’s move carries another remarkable significance. By joining Inter Miami and becoming Messi’s teammate, he will become part of an elite group of just 27 players who have played alongside both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo during their senior careers. Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid CF poses with Carlos Casemiro The list includes some of the biggest names of the modern era, such as Angel Di Maria, Sergio Ramos, Gerard Pique, Paulo Dybala, Carlos Tevez, Gonzalo Higuain, Keylor Navas, Achraf Hakimi, Deco, Miralem Pjanic, Arthur Melo, Lisandro Martinez, Alejandro Garnacho, and Henrik Larsson, among others.

Spain will mount their 2026 World Cup campaign in North America without their most capped player in history, as legendary defender Sergio Ramos is no longer part of the international setup. Sergio Ramos will not be part of Spain’s squad for the 2026 World Cup campaign in North America, as the legendary defender has already retired from international duty at the beginning of 2023. Unlike his long-time compatriots Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets—who both retired after capturing the MLS Cup with Inter Miami—Ramos spent the 2025–26 club season continuing to defy father time on the pitch with Mexico’s Monterrey. Yet, despite his ongoing club availability, his absence from the Spanish national team has long been set in stone. Ramos’s omission from the 2026 tournament roster comes as no surprise to the Spanish public. The legendary center-back officially announced his retirement from international football on February 23, 2023, after 18 years since his debut. After Ramos’ departure, De la Fuente has successfully reconstructed Spain‘s defense around a new generation of center-backs. For the 2026 World Cup in North America, the manager has placed his full trust in Aymeric Laporte and Marc Pubill, Eric Garcia and Pau Cubarsí. Ver esta publicación en Instagram Una publicación compartida de Sergio Ramos (@sergioramos) Ramos’ impressive tenure with the National Team Ramos made his senior international debut under Luis Aragonés in March 2005 at just 18 years old, becoming the youngest Spanish debutant in 55 years at the time. Over an astonishing 180 senior caps—a historic record that makes him the most capped player in the history of the Spanish national team—Ramos proved to be an unprecedented weapon. His defensive ferocity was matched by an incredible aerial threat, racking up 23 international goals, a tally that places him among Spain’s top ten goalscorers of all time despite playing in the backline. Ramos was an important piece during Spain’s golden era of global dominance, starting every single game as La Roja captured UEFA Euro 2008, the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, and UEFA Euro 2012.
Before the Geopolitics World Cup circus gets under way, Real Madrid would like you to know there’s always another show in town. Los Blancos have an odd, difficult relationship with the tournament. Spain’s 2010 triumph involved Sergio Ramos, Xabi Alonso and Iker Casillas being bolted on to a raft of Barcelona players, somewhat demeaning to any aristocratic pretensions. Back in 2018, Madrid upended the Spain national team by snaffling away Julen Lopetegui to be their coach, such that he was sent back from Russia before a ball was kicked. After Fernando Hierro, a Madrileno final boss, took the reins, the tournament was a bust for Spain, and relations have been strained ever since.Yesterday Ray Anselmo questioned why Andoni Iraola would join Liverpool, who won something last year and then weren’t satisfied with fifth place and the quarter-finals of Bigger Cup this year. Is it safe to assume that Ray is a Spurs fan?” – Neale Redington.Jon Millard is stout in his defence of AOR musos but I disagree with his comment that Tapestry (Carole King) has no links with ‘Antipodean Journeymen’. Surely So Far Away and Home Again allude to travels of the two Australasian teams – the latter probably applying a short time after the teams land in North America. And Where you Lead could apply should one of these teams snatch the first goal in a match? Beautiful is a normal epithet of the game of association football, OK not always bandied about when discussing Kiwi or Aussie football, but y’know. Will You Love Me Tomorrow: of course we will, even when faint hopes are dashed in the group stage.

Luis de la Fuente spoke about Spain’s chances at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, placing them among the top contenders. As the reigning UEFA Euro champions, Spain appear firmly established as one of the leading contenders to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Coach Luis de la Fuente shares that belief, though he also sees two other teams in the same tier. De la Fuente appeared on the podcast ‘La estrella que nos une’ for a conversation with former coach Vicente del Bosque, who led Spain to the 2010 FIFA World Cup title in South Africa — still the country’s only global triumph to date. “We have to stay grounded. I’m not avoiding it, we’re favorites,” De la Fuente said before adding an important clarification: “But just as much favorites as England or France.” In that sense, he agreed with Del Bosque, who recommended approaching North America “with caution.” With those comments, De la Fuente made his opinion clear regarding the teams he believes are best prepared to compete for the title. Spain, as the reigning UEFA Euro champions, are viewed by many as one of the favorites, while France also earn that status because of their recent performances and the quality of their roster. France are favorites to win the 2026 World Cup, according to De La Fuente. England, meanwhile, have not generated the same level of consensus. Led by Harry Kane, they have cruised through qualifying but still face questions about whether they can finally break through in a major tournament. Even so, the Spain coach believes The Three Lions are better prepared than other traditional powers such as Argentina, Brazil, and Germany. De la Fuente discusses the challenges of coaching a national team During the same conversation, Luis de la Fuente reinforced the importance of staying cautious and avoiding assumptions when evaluating Spain’s potential opponents. “People are not aware of how balanced national teams are right now. It has nothing to do with clubs. Every country has 11 good players,” he said. He also discussed the biggest challenges that come with his role. “The most critical process is scouting players, but the most painful part is leaving out players who are good enough to be there. Along with injuries, seeing players miss out because of that is difficult,” Luis said. “There are no club players here, only national team players. It’s a different mindset.” Spain’s challenge at the 2026 World Cup For decades, Spain occupied a secondary place among the world’s top international soccer powers. In fact, their best World Cup performances before their golden era were quarterfinal appearances in 1934 and 1986, along with a third-place finish in 1950. That changed at the start of this century, when a generation of stars including Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta, Sergio Ramos, Iker Casillas, and Sergio Busquets emerged and led the country to UEFA Euro titles in 2008 and 2012 and, most notably, the 2010 World Cup. However, after reaching the summit of international soccer, they have struggled to replicate that success. In their next three appearances at the FIFA tournament, Spain failed to reach the quarterfinals. They were eliminated in the group stage in 2014, while in 2018 and 2022 they suffered unexpected round-of-16 exits against Russia and Morocco, respectively. In North America 2026, Spain will look to end that streak and perform up to expectations.
From Champions League redemption to that stunner against City, we look at half a dozen memorable moments from striker’s Anfield careerIt was surely the worst moment of Mohamed Salah’s Liverpool career, yet the reaction said everything about his impact on the English game; the respect he had earned in his first season at Anfield. It was not just the Liverpool support who were upset to see Salah so upset, leaving the pitch at Kyiv’s Olimpiyskiy Stadium in tears, utterly inconsolable, having been levered out of the biggest game of his life by Real Madrid’s pantomime villain, Sergio Ramos. It was fans of all stripes. After the season Salah had enjoyed, what he did and how he carried himself, everyone knew he did not deserve this. There was the sense that Salah’s humility as much as his brilliance transcended tribal divides. Continue reading...
Luis de la Fuente added thrill to the awaited Spain's World Cup list announcement. Luis de la Fuente has led Spain very well since taking over, capped by a brilliant Euro title. The next challenge is even bigger, but he already has most of the squad sorted out. Monday is when he will announce the World Cup list, which could still include a surprise, as he told former player Mario Suárez on his podcast. De la Fuente said: “The group of players is set. It’s possible I’ll call up a player who hasn’t been here before. The goalkeeper is decided. I could even tell you the lineup. There will be three goalkeepers, not four.” While the manager did not name that player, one name that has recently gained a lot of attention is Gavi, who has been excellent for Barcelona: “We haven’t given him anything. He has earned it himself after overcoming two very serious injuries. He is in a very good moment. When he is not there, he is a player you really miss.” De la Fuente on Dani Carvajal A major name that was left out of the list was Dani Carvajal. The right back was outstanding for Real Madrid two years ago and even scored in the Champions League final, but after his knee injury in October 2023, he has not been able to repeat that level. Carvajal has just returned from a minor foot injury (Fran Santiago/Getty Images) This time may not be ideal for Carvajal, as he will not make the squad, not because his performances have not been good enough, but due to a recent injury that has put his fitness in doubt in doubt and he has missed time while trying to get back in shape. De la Fuente all but confirmed that Carvajal was not going to be back in time after suffering a fracture of the distal phalanx of the fifth toe: “He is a great captain, but it was difficult for him to be in condition to play.” De la Fuente on his hardest decision The coach also reflected on his career. De la Fuente said leaving a major name out of the team was the hardest decision he has made since becoming Spain’s national team coach: “The hardest decision since I became national team coach was not calling up Sergio Ramos.”
Federico Valverde has endured a very disappointing end to the season, as his conflict with Aurélien Tchouaméni ended with sanctions for both players. Following this incident, several important Real Madrid players have reportedly requested his departure in the summer of 2026. Real Madrid are enduring a very disappointing season, ending without titles for the second consecutive year. In addition, Álvaro Arbeloa has failed to make a decisive impact, leaving the door open for his departure. Adding to these problems, Federico Valverde could see his continuity at the club thrown into doubt after the drama with Aurélien Tchouaméni, as several important players have reportedly requested his departure in the summer of 2026. According to Ramón Sánchez del Mon, a journalist specialized in Real Madrid, Federico Valverde’s conflict with Aurélien Tchouaméni has caused him to lose support within the locker room. Due to his repeated poor attitudes, several important los Blancos stars have requested his departure. Because of this, the Uruguayan’s continuity at the club may not be entirely guaranteed, meaning the next head coach would have to manage this dilemma. As one of Real Madrid’s captains and best players, Federico Valverde may ultimately remain at the club. Amid a disappointing season, the Uruguayan star has managed to score nine goals and provide 13 assists, making him one of the team’s most productive players. In addition, he is one of the players who contributes the most defensively, balancing out the defensive gaps left by Trent Alexander-Arnold. Neither Jude Bellingham nor Arda Güler could replicate Federico Valverde’s profile in midfield. While Real Madrid have several midfielders in the squad, the Uruguayan star is the only true box-to-box player, capable of balancing the team and playing in multiple positions across the pitch. Therefore, Los Blancos could be forced to sign another player with a similar profile, something that would make little sense given how few players are capable of matching his consistency. Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde of Real Madrid. Valverde’s possible departure may boost power of Real Madrid stars Throughout the season, the egos and excessive power of Real Madrid’s players have caused numerous problems. Following Xabi Alonso’s departure, Federico Valverde’s potential exit would only send one message to the players: They are in charge—something that has never happened on this team. Not even legends like Sergio Ramos or Cristiano Ronaldo managed to outmaneuver the team’s management, which prioritizes the collective over the individual. Recognizing this growing problem of egos and power struggles, Real Madrid’s front office are reportedly searching for a winning head coach with extensive experience managing difficult locker rooms. Because of this, Valverde’s departure may not make much sense if the club’s objective is to bring in a leader capable of handling the dressing room. With this in mind, the Uruguayan star is expected to remain with the team, although his captaincy could indeed be at risk. Real Madrid’s dressing room issues may be solved with José Mourinho Unlike Xabi Alonso or Álvaro Arbeloa, José Mourinho become as a legendary Real Madrid manager, rebuilding a difficult era and restoring unity within the locker room. Having managed true soccer legends, the Portuguese coach could easily control the egos inside the squad, something he already achieved with Iker Casillas, whom he benched in favor of Diego López. For that reason, he may emerge as the top contender for the head coach spot. With the support of the front office, Mourinho could become the unquestioned leader of the locker room. Because of this, egos and personal conflicts would have to be set aside, or those involved could be pushed out of the team, something Real Madrid seemingly need right now. For this reason, tensions between players could disappear, with the club aiming to become a competitive team again like they were a
Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni reportedly turned into the protagonists of yet another confrontation at Real Madrid. The atmosphere within the Real Madrid locker room has reached a boiling point as the 2025-26 season nears its conclusion, with the club staring down a trophyless campaign and less than a month of play remaining. Fresh reports of internal friction have surfaced, this time featuring midfielders Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni as the central figures in a heated training ground dispute. According to a Wednesday report from Marca, Valverde and Tchouameni engaged in a volatile confrontation that nearly devolved into a physical altercation. The incident took place during a high-stakes training session at Valdebebas as the squad prepares for Sunday’s El Clasico against FC Barcelona. The Spanish outlet noted that the spark between the Uruguayan and the Frenchman was a hard foul during a practice drill. What began as a verbal argument quickly escalated to shoving, and the tension reportedly followed both players into the locker room after the session was dismissed by the coaching staff. This incident is just the latest in a series of cracks forming within the squad, following a reported clash between Alvaro Carreras and Antonio Rudiger just days ago. Carreras attempted to downplay that event on social media, claiming it was a “specific matter with no relevance that has already been solved” and insisting his relationship with the rest of the roster remains “really good.” Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni of Real Madrid warming up. However, the dysfunction appears to extend beyond just the players. The Athletic recently revealed that Kylian Mbappe was involved in a separate altercation during training, where he allegedly hurled insults at an assistant coach serving as a referee during a scrimmage. This suggests a systemic breakdown in discipline that goes well beyond typical late-season fatigue. With the next El Clasico set for Sunday, May 10, Real Madrid find itself in a precarious position where anything less than a victory would see Barcelona clinch the La Liga title. While the 2026 World Cup looms on the horizon for many of these stars, the rising internal conflicts have raised serious questions about who will remain part of the project when the next campaign begins. Jose Mourinho: The chosen one to unite the squad? The Real Madrid roster is expected to undergo a massive overhaul this summer, driven largely by a perceived lack of leadership and an inability to manage the massive egos within the dressing room. The club’s traditional Spanish core has all but vanished; following the departures of Sergio Ramos and Nacho Fernandez, current captain Dani Carvajal is now expected to exit as his contract nears its expiration. This exodus of veteran leadership has left a vacuum that current manager Alvaro Arbeloa has struggled to fill. Without a strong “Spanish core” to anchor the locker room, the combination of immense pressure and on-field failure has left the squad’s world-class stars without a common ground or a clear sense of direction. With the atmosphere turning toxic, a trend that began to surface late in the Xabi Alonso era and accelerated under Arbeloa, the board is reportedly searching for a transformative figure to restore order. This has positioned Jose Mourinho as the primary candidate for the job; the “Special One” is viewed as a leader of men who can prioritize personality management and psychological discipline to stabilize a roster currently at war with itself.
