Les stars du FC Barcelone Aitana Bonmati et Alexis Putella se partagent la première place du classement EA Sports FC 26 des meilleures joueuses, devant la star des Lionesses Alessia Russo.
Chelsea, Arsenal, Orlando Pride et London City Lionesses ont tous battu le record mondial rien qu'en 2025, alors que les dépenses dans le football féminin augmentent.
La capitaine des Lionesses, Leah Williamson, est l'une des quatre footballeuses nominées pour les prestigieux Laureus World Sports Awards 2026, son équipe d'Angleterre étant également présélectionnée après avoir remporté le Championnat d'Europe 2025. Lamine Yamal a été le seul footballeur à remporter un prix lors de la cérémonie de l'année dernière, le Real Madrid ayant également remporté un prix collectif, mais les chances d'obtenir davantage de reconnaissance sont plus grandes cette année, avec un nombre nettement plus important de nominés issus du monde du football.
La gardienne de but anglaise Ellie Roebuck affirme que représenter les Lionesses est « la raison » pour laquelle elle continue à jouer au football après avoir subi un accident vasculaire cérébral à l'âge de 24 ans, qui l'avait amenée à se demander si elle pourrait un jour rejouer. Membre de l'équipe anglaise vainqueur de l'Euro 2022, la gardienne d'Aston Villa fait son retour dans l'équipe de Sarina Wiegman ce mois-ci après avoir reçu sa première convocation complète depuis plus de deux ans.
La star américaine Catarina Macario aurait reçu une offre du FC Barcelone, triple vainqueur de la Ligue des champions, alors que les grands clubs européens s'intéressent de plus en plus à ses services. Le contrat de Macario avec Chelsea expire à la fin de la saison et il semblerait qu'elle ait refusé une nouvelle offre des Blues, ce qui fait d'elle une joueuse très convoitée à l'approche du mercato estival.

Sir Alex Ferguson is undoubtedly the most successful manager in Manchester United's history. He spent 26 years at the club, leading them to an unprecedented era of success. Before Ferguson, managers like Matt Busby and Wilf McGuinness played crucial roles in shaping the club's identity. More recent managers, including David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, and José Mourinho, have faced the challenge of maintaining the club's high standards.

Ratcliffe has already made a substantial financial commitment to Manchester United. His large investments demonstrate his dedication to the club's success and his willingness to provide the necessary resources for its growth.

Instead, they are sold club-by-club among the teams competing in this year's edition. You must visit the individual club’s website for the fixture you want to attend and buy your seat from there. Capacity is always limited for these Champions League knockout matches and demand often exceeds available allocation.
Will I be able to buy Champions League tickets through secondary sites?
In addition, fans can purchase seats on the secondary market. StubHub is one of the leading retailers for those seeking to buy tickets through alternative channels. StubHub is a legitimate merchant in the ticket resale marketplace and a safe place for fans to buy tickets. StubHub's website guarantees that you will get tickets in time for the event you are attending and a valid ticket for entry.
Where is the 2025 Champions League Final being played?
The Allianz Arena in Munich (known as the Munich Football Arena for UEFA competition purposes) is staging this year’s Champions League Final on Saturday, May 31 at 8 pm (GMT). It was opened in 2005 and has a 70,000 seating capacity for international matches and 75,000 for domestic matches. It is the second-largest stadium in Germany behind the Westfalenstadion in Dortmund.
As well as being the home of Germany’s Bundesliga giants, Bayern Munich, the Munich venue hosted a number of games during the 2006 FIFA World Cup and last year’s Euro 2024 Finals. The one and only previous UEFA Champions League Final to be played at the Allianz Arena was the 2012 Final between Chelsea and Bayern Munich. Despite having a strong home backing, Bayern failed to land the prize as Chelsea led by Roberto Di Matteo would come out on top after a nailbiting penalty shootout.
