Michael Ballack, leyenda del Chelsea y de Alemania, luchó por contener las lágrimas al hablar por primera vez sobre la muerte de su hijo de 18 años.

El seleccionador de Alemania, Julian Nagelsmann, ha lanzado una clara advertencia a su plantilla de cara al Mundial de 2026, sugiriendo que algunos nombres de renombre podrían quedarse fuera de su selección definitiva. Mientras el país se prepara para los próximos amistosos contra Suiza y Ghana a finales de este mes, Nagelsmann ha indicado que el estatus en el club no garantizará un puesto en el avión a Norteamérica, haciendo hincapié en que la química del equipo y los perfiles tácticos específicos tendrán prioridad sobre la reputación.
