That continental involvement gives Masandawana a heavier schedule than their domestic rivals, with frequent travel and high-intensity fixtures adding to their workload.

But there have not been positive responses from the PSL, and that has angered their Portuguese coach.

The Sporting Director's interview with 947's MSW has seen a steady drip of headlines hit the media.

Real Madrid are not, objectively, having that bad of a season. They are within four points of Barcelona atop La Liga - a not insurmountable gap - and are in the Champions League round of 16 despite a tough league-phase slate of fixtures. Yes, they fired a manager in Xabi Alonso and face uncertainty in the dugout, but success is not beyond Los Blancos in 2025-26.

The interim boss handed the 22-year-old Czech Republic shot-stopper his first major European start ahead of Guglielmo Vicario, but the decision exploded in his face, and he hooked Kinsky before the 20-minute mark.

In a sport that can be as cruel as it is beautiful, Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky experienced the ultimate professional nightmare on Tuesday night. Handed a surprise start by manager Igor Tudor ahead of Guglielmo Vicario for the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Atletico Madrid, the young Czech Republic international saw his big moment evaporate in a matter of minutes.

Having only just returned to the continental stage as a half-time substitute, the Canadian international was forced off in the 71st minute after appearing to suffer a non-contact injury. The sight of the full-back pulling his shirt over his head to hide his tears was a heart-wrenching moment for Vincent Kompany’s side, specifically as the defender has been plagued by fitness issues throughout the current campaign.

The controversy surrounding Lionel Messi's failed return to Barcelona in 2023 has not yet died down.
