Manchester United continue their struggle to re-establish themselves as a formidable force in the Premier League under the guidance of Ruben Amorim.

Son Heung-min became one of Major League Soccer’s biggest signings of the 2025 summer transfer window after a decorated career at the highest level in Europe. Heading into 2026, another Tottenham Hotspur player could follow in the South Korean star’s footsteps, as Orlando City are reportedly showing interest in a future move.

Despite being 38, Lionel Messi is enjoying his best MLS season since joining Inter Miami in 2023. The Argentine star has scored 24 goals and provided 14 assists, underscoring his status as one of the league’s top talents. While he has faced a three-game scoring drought, his creative brilliance remains intact, exemplified by reaching 395 career assists. This feat has reignited the perennial comparisons with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Rodrygo has established himself as one of Real Madrid’s standout stars in recent years, playing a key role in important matches during the team’s UEFA Champions League campaigns. But before making his mark at the Bernabéu, he had the opportunity to join FC Barcelona. After nearly moving to the Catalan side, the Brazilian revealed the role Cristiano Ronaldo played in convincing him to choose Madrid instead.

There’s no question that two of the most impressive performers in European soccer right now are Christian Pulisic and Lamine Yamal. Each is excelling in his own league — Pulisic in Serie A with AC Milan, and Yamal in La Liga with Barcelona — showcasing immense talent every time they step on the pitch. However, one young Argentine star is holding his own in certain statistical categories.

 As Lionel Messi looks to lead Argentina into what could be his final World Cup in 2026, an unexpected storm is brewing behind him. One of Serie A’s brightest young stars is reportedly on the verge of changing his national team allegiance — a decision that could see Argentina lose one of its most promising attacking talents.

 After years of frustration and unfulfilled potential, Ousmane Dembele finally reached soccer’s summit this year. The Paris Saint-Germain forward lifted the Ballon d’Or ahead of Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal, confirming what many in France had long believed — that he had matured into one of the world’s most complete attackers. His dominance in the French capital not only delivered trophies but also positioned him as the heartbeat of a team that conquered everything in its path.

After struggling under Sergio Conceicao, AC Milan took a bold step by appointing Massimiliano Allegri as head coach. Despite initial skepticism, the Italian giants sit atop Serie A, thanks largely to Christian Pulisic‘s offensive prowess. However, a recent draw against Juventus reportedly sparked Allegri’s frustration with Rafael Leao, highlighting tensions within the squad despite their strong overall performance.

Argentina and Spain are widely regarded as two of the top contenders for the 2026 World Cup, led by Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal, respectively, and both are enjoying strong runs of form. However, a France star has dismissed the two national teams, delivering a bold message: “They don’t scare us.”

Mohamed Salah has long established himself as Egypt’s biggest star, consistently making an impact for the national team in World Cup qualifying. In his latest outing, he added another milestone to his remarkable career, becoming the all-time top scorer in African World Cup qualifiers, pulling ahead of legends like Samuel Eto’o, Didier Drogba, and Sadio Mané.

Despite his veteran status, Cristiano Ronaldo continues to leave an indelible mark on soccer history. With five Ballon d’Or awards, five Champions League titles, and groundbreaking achievements with every team he’s played for, many hail him as the greatest of all time. Surprisingly, Mason Greenwood, a former Manchester United teammate, excluded Ronaldo from the GOAT discussion, opting to highlight another star instead.

While the 2025–26 campaign is still in its early stages, some clubs are already planning their next moves. Among them is Real Madrid, who are reportedly preparing to begin a squad overhaul — and have identified a young Serie A star as part of that plan.

For decades, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have defined modern soccer — their rivalry shaping an era of excellence, records, and relentless competition. But now, the two icons of the game have found themselves competing in a different arena: wealth. The first billionaire soccer player, Ronaldo’s staggering fortune has finally been revealed, according to Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index — and it’s a milestone that cements his legacy far beyond the pitch.

Since joining Inter Miami in 2023, Jordi Alba became a key player. Despite his veteran status, the Spaniard has spent three seasons impacting the team offensively and defensively alongside Lionel Messi. In a surprising move, Jordi announced his retirement from professional soccer, even after renewing his contract until 2027 just months ago. This decision further reduces players left from Barcelona’s last Champions League title lineup, underscoring a harsh reality.
