A superstar goes on strike: Cristiano Ronaldo missing again

Cristiano Ronaldo was again absent from Al-Nassr’s squad on Friday—and it seems that dissatisfaction with his club’s transfer policy is not the only decisive factor.

The latest reports suggest that Cristiano Ronaldo is refusing to play for Al-Nassr because he is unhappy that his club did not strengthen its squad sufficiently in the winter transfer window. The 41-year-old was already absent from Monday’s away game at Al-Riyadh. According to A Bola, reports that the five-time Ballon d’Or winner was injured were not accurate. On Wednesday, the superstar posted pictures from training, but on Thursday it was announced that he would not be playing in Friday’s game at Al-Nassr either. That is now the case. CR7 is completely absent from Al-Ittihad’s squad.

It’s apparently not just about transfers

According to information from A Bola, the reason for his strike is not only his dissatisfaction with his club’s transfer policy, but also outstanding salaries – and as long as nothing changes, the captain of the Portuguese national team will continue his protest and will not play.

However, this is not just about money that the club owes him personally, but rather that there continue to be significant delays in the payment of salaries to players, staff, and employees of the club in general. This is not the case at other Saudi clubs that are also owned by the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), such as Al Hilal.

Clear words directed at CR7

On Thursday, an official statement was issued directed at Cristiano Ronaldo, which was very clear. On the one hand, it emphasized that “the clubs have their own boards, their own managers and their own football management. Decisions on new signings, spending, and strategies are made by these clubs, within a financial framework designed to ensure sustainability and competitive balance.” In other words, the PIF emphasized that it has nothing to do with the day-to-day business of the clubs. “Cristiano has been fully committed to Al-Nassr since his arrival and has played an important role in the club’s growth and ambitions, but no individual, however significant, makes decisions that go beyond his own club.”

It now remains to be seen how Al-Nassr will react to the renewed absence of its own superstar. Incidentally, Al-Nassr won 2-0 against Al-Ittihad without its star striker. Former Bayern pro Sadio Mané (84th minute/penalty) and Brazilian Angelo (90+8) scored the goals. CR7 once again received support from the fans during the game, with spectators holding up posters with his jersey number 7 in the seventh minute of the game, showing their solidarity with the Portuguese player.

Barry’s dream goal included: Austria’s first win in Salzburg since 2014

It is a rare success: Vienna’s Austria wins against Red Bull Salzburg for the first time since May 2018. In Mozart’s city, it was the first victory in more than eleven years.

League leaders Red Bull Salzburg got off to a false start in the Bundesliga spring season. The Bulls were defeated 2-0 (0-2) at home by Austria Vienna on Friday. Goals from Barry (21′) and Eggestein (24′) gave the favorites their first away win in Salzburg in more than eleven years and temporarily moved them up to third place in the table. Pursuers LASK could catch up with Salzburg on points with a home win against WSG Tirol on Saturday.

Both teams started with the expected line-ups in front of 7,459 spectators. Diambou replaced the suspended Diabate for Salzburg. New signing Redzic was still missing from the squad because he had to serve the last game of a suspension from his former club Dunajska Streda. For Austria, midfielder Lee Kang-hee was preferred to Radonjic on the right side of the three-man defense.

Double strike before the break

The Viennese did not allow Salzburg to dominate the first 20 minutes as they usually do. The Bulls had more than 70 percent possession, but no compelling chances. Instead, Barry scored with a spectacular shot into the top corner after a one-two with Fischer. It was Salzburg’s first home goal conceded against Austria since April 2023. But it got even worse, with the Violets once again proving their strength from set pieces: after a corner turned into a goal by Sanel Saljic, the Bulls’ defense was focused on the tall Plavotic. The ball went to Eggestein, who pushed it over the line from close range.
Edmund Baidoo missed a chance to pull one back after a pass from Trummer to Stangl (27′). He succeeded five minutes later, but the goal was disallowed after intervention by the video assistant referee (VAR). Baidoo was narrowly offside when he headed in Schuster’s corner. A shot from Kitano went wide (38′), and one from the formidable Barry at the other end went just over the bar (42′).

Long dry spell ends

Salzburg coach Letsch brought on Kjaergaard and Yeo at half-time, followed shortly afterwards by Bischoff, but Austria goalkeeper Samuel Sahin-Radlinger thwarted Baidoo’s only big chance (52′). The Bulls kept trying, but once again revealed their problems against an increasingly deep-lying opponent after the break. In his 50th Bundesliga game as Austria coach, Stephan Helm helped U-17 vice world champion Markovic make his professional debut in the 81st minute.

Austria has not lost a league opener since 2019. Salzburg, on the other hand, suffered its third home defeat of the Bundesliga season and missed out on equaling Rapid’s league record. The Hütteldorf team remains the sole record holder with 24 unbeaten games against one opponent (Wacker Innsbruck/1993-1999). Austria’s winless streak against Salzburg ended after 24 competitive games, 23 of them in the league.
The Viennese had last beaten the former serial champions in the 2018 league finale (4-0). Their last away win at the Red Bull Arena to date was a 3-2 victory on September 21, 2014. Eighteen attempts since then had been unsuccessful.

“Not the right time”: Flick remains vague about Lewandowski’s future

Despite injuries to key players such as Pedri and Raphinha, Hansi Flick is in high spirits. Ahead of the home game against Mallorca, however, he also had to comment on the tricky personnel issue surrounding Robert Lewandowski.

Even though FC Barcelona may have performed more confidently in the past, coach Hansi Flick is not letting it get to him. This may be largely due to the fact that the Catalans’ results are still good: although they had to fight until extra time in the cup against second division side Albacete during the week, they ultimately won 2-1. The hosts from Albacete were not exactly considered easy opponents, as their surprise victory against Real Madrid in the previous round showed.
Barcelona are once again in the semifinals of the Copa del Rey, where Atletico Madrid await them, as they did last year. Back then, the Catalans prevailed and went on to win the title.

Before facing the Colchoneros, however, the Catalans have to deal with the daily grind of La Liga. Ahead of the home game against Mallorca, Flick appeared relaxed despite his team’s poor finishing. “Sometimes it’s easier when you score goals, but ultimately I’m very happy with the way we play,” said the coach calmly, while acknowledging room for improvement: “We also need to focus more on successfully completing our moves and attacks.”

Robert Lewandowski is also only playing irregularly. He has only been in the starting lineup once in the last seven league games, with Ferran Torres often getting the nod instead. This raises the question of whether the Pole will extend his expiring contract with the Blaugrana. “He’s doing well, sometimes he wants to play more. That’s normal,” Flick played down the personnel issue – but does not want to make any predictions for the summer: “We’ll see what happens at the end of the season. Now is not the right time to talk about it.”

It is questionable whether winger Raphinha will play again against Mallorca. The Brazilian was substituted at half-time in the cup game during the week. “We have to wait and see from day to day. As soon as he feels ready and the doctors give him the green light, he will train with us, but not before,” explained Flick.

Patience is required with Pedri

Pedri has also been missing from the Catalans since the end of January, when he suffered a torn muscle fiber in the Champions League game at Slavia Prague.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the Spaniard is expected to miss three more games, including the cup semi-final first leg against Atlético Madrid on February 11. FC Barcelona is therefore hoping for the return of its midfield strategist in the league home game against UD Levante.

Glasner on the collapsed Mateta deal: “He had been having knee problems since November.”

Glasner on the collapsed Mateta deal: “He had been having knee problems since November.”

Even after the transfer window closed, Jean-Philippe Mateta is still under contract with Crystal Palace. On Friday, his coach Oliver Glasner commented on the collapsed move to Milan.

When will Crystal Palace finally settle down this season? Coach Oliver Glasner should at least be pleased that the winter transfer window is now closed. The Austrian lost captain Marc Guehi to league rivals Manchester City two and a half weeks ago. Shortly before the transfer window closed, there was also the threat of top striker Jean-Philippe Mateta leaving.

Mateta had informed the club’s management of his desire to leave. Juventus Turin, Aston Villa, and Nottingham Forest were considered interested parties. However, things really heated up on deadline day with AC Milan. In Paris, Mateta only had to pass the medical examination to sign as Niclas Füllkrug’s new strike partner. But the €30 million did not flow to England. Due to knee problems identified during the medical, Milan decided not to sign him.

“He really wanted to keep playing”

This probably came as no surprise to anyone at Crystal Palace. Glasner made this clear with some remarkable statements: “Mateta had been having knee problems since November. He really wanted to keep playing, so we made it possible.” Since mid-November, the Frenchman has scored only two Premier League goals for Palace, one of which was from the penalty spot. Currently, the former Mainz player has eight goals in 23 league games. Palace removed their striker from the matchday squad for last Sunday’s game at Nottingham due to the impending transfer.

Is Mateta now facing an even longer break? Surgery is also on the cards with regard to next summer’s World Cup. Mateta made his debut for the French national team only last October, but then scored two goals in three international matches.

Mateta could face several months on the sidelines if he undergoes surgery. Then the French World Cup train would likely leave without him. These are difficult decisions that the striker and his club Crystal Palace have to make. “We will conduct further evaluations to find the best solution,” Glasner promised.

Two strikers still arrived

However, the club had already made provisions before Mateta’s medical check fell through. With Evann Guessand (Aston Villa, on loan) and Jörgen Strand Larsen (Wolverhampton), who was responsible for a transfer record with a transfer fee of €50 million, Glasner has two new alternatives for the attack.

The trade drama surrounding Antetokounmpo: Just understand him

There has been a lot of talk about Giannis Antetokounmpo over the past few weeks, and he himself has also spoken a lot. It’s a saga that is unlikely to end anytime soon, even though the Greek is handling it as best he can.

Will he stay? Will he leave? This question has preoccupied the NBA for months and will continue to be a hot topic this summer. Some may remember the “Dwightmare” almost 15 years ago, when Dwight Howard simply couldn’t or wouldn’t decide for many months whether he wanted to remain loyal to the Orlando Magic. Giannis Antetokounmpo finds himself in a similar situation. If he really wanted to leave, he would no longer be a Milwaukee Bucks player today. That’s how the business works, and the Greek player has earned this status in his nearly 13 years in the NBA. He is not just one, he is THE franchise icon. What Dirk Nowitzki is in Dallas, the Greek Freak is in Milwaukee. And Milwaukee is also home for Giannis.
In an emotional interview, he explained that he got married there, his children were born there, and his father was buried there. It’s not about the Bucks, he said, but about the city he calls home. That’s understandable and one of Giannis’ greatest strengths, which also makes him so popular with fans.

Antetokounmpo knows how to express himself; he finds the right words to express his emotions and convey them. It’s not hard to empathize with him and understand the inner struggle he may be having with himself. There are two sides to this: the athletic and the human.

Is the grass really greener on the other side? Giannis could ask Damian Lillard, for example, whether it was worth leaving Portland. Of course, the situation is frustrating; athletically, the Bucks are in their worst position in ten years, with little hope of improvement, but is it really worth turning his whole life upside down for?

A trade means moving or being separated from his family for a while, and Giannis knows that. That’s why he asked the rhetorical question: “On what planet, on what earth would anyone want to leave this place voluntarily?” Yes, why indeed?

Giannis: The ambitious one

Athletes are ambitious creatures, which is why they made it to the NBA. That’s why the skinny Greek who sold watches on the street with his family in his youth has become a Hulk-like figure who can dominate every game on the court. The best athletes strive for maximum success, which is why they are the best in their field. From a purely athletic standpoint, the situation is clear. Giannis must leave Milwaukee, and the only logical move for the Bucks would be to trade Antetokounmpo. Will it happen in the summer? That remains to be seen. There will continue to be headlines upon headlines. Dozens of insiders will speculate, and the trade machine will be red hot. That’s how show business works in the NBA, where the human aspect often gets neglected, and we are all more or less to blame for that. Perhaps even Giannis himself, who has stirred things up here and there. You could hold that against him, but then again, you couldn’t really. Antetokounmpo showed a certain class by granting interviews to the two local Bucks reporters so close to the deadline and describing his view of things honestly and emotionally.

Giannis: It starts all over again in the summer

What superstar does that? He didn’t have to do it. It shows once again his human side and his connection to the region. And more importantly, you shouldn’t take every word at face value. No one can always keep their word, especially when they have to speak in public every day. So when Giannis says he would never ask for a trade, that may be true for now, but it doesn’t have to be true forever. Opinions change, life situations change. This applies to the firefighter from Wanne-Eickel or the basketball player from Milwaukee. In the summer, the questions will come up again, and it will likely dominate the headlines once more. The drama will start all over again, whether Giannis wants it to or not.

Andrea Stella: One racing team particularly impressive

Andrea Stella is satisfied with the McLaren shakedown in Barcelona, but emphasizes that he is currently focusing primarily on the Mercedes works team.

It is “very difficult” to assess the balance of power for the 2026 season after the Formula 1 shakedown in Barcelona, explains Andrea Stella.
Nevertheless, the McLaren team boss was particularly impressed by one team in Spain. “It’s clear that there are at least three competitors—Mercedes, Ferrari, and Red Bull—who have all made a good start,” Stella emphasizes. And the Mercedes works team in particular has “definitely raised the bar,” explains the team boss.

“We have to work hard to achieve the same,” says Stella, who also emphasizes that he is satisfied with his own shakedown. “What we saw on the track was in line with expectations and, above all, with the simulations,” he says of the MCL40. The new car is therefore “a good starting point” for the new season, even if there is still a lot of room for improvement, for example in the use of the completely new engine. At least the reliability of the Mercedes power unit already seems to be up to scratch.
“Rather, the reliability issues that slowed down the work on the track [in Barcelona], at least as far as we were concerned, were mainly related to the enormous complexity of the 2026 vehicle system,” explains Stella.

However, he believes that almost all engines made a solid impression in Spain, which suggests that the differences between the individual powertrains are significantly smaller than some observers had feared.

According to its own figures, the Mercedes works team completed 502 laps during the test week in Barcelona, the most of any team. McLaren managed “only” 291 laps. This is probably one of the reasons why Stella is impressed by the performance of the Silver Arrows.

Ferrari, meanwhile, completed 440 laps according to its own figures, while Red Bull managed 303 – also a few kilometers more than McLaren. The last two test drives before the season opener in Melbourne are scheduled for February 11-13 and February 18-20 in Bahrain.

Advantage for rookies? Kimi Antonelli sees huge opportunity in the 2026 F1 season

Advantage for rookies? Kimi Antonelli sees huge opportunity in the 2026 F1 season

Kimi Antonelli senses his big chance—the Mercedes driver explains why the massive rule change in 2026 will help young talent in Formula 1

A young talent like Kimi Antonelli doesn’t have a hard time in the premier class, but there are times when rookies get the chance to take big steps forward. Formula 1 is introducing comprehensive rule changes in 2026, and the driving style for the new generation of cars is fundamentally different from anything that has come before. The Mercedes driver therefore senses an opportunity for the rookies.

Antonelli is confident that inexperienced Formula 1 drivers will benefit from the major rule change in 2026, as it will require them to adapt quickly. The premier class will have a completely new look this year: changes to the chassis and engine will end the four-year era of ground-effect cars.

There has already been much discussion about how drivers will have to adapt their style due to active aerodynamics and the greater importance of energy management. Some even claim that the 2026 cars will contradict everything drivers have learned in karting.

But this is precisely where the young drivers who have only been in Formula 1 since last year could have an advantage. They are used to constantly changing cars and do not yet have an ingrained driving style that they intuitively fall back on when problems arise.

Antonelli is one of them. He raced through the junior classes at breakneck speed and never competed in more than one season in a series before making his Grand Prix debut for Mercedes at the age of 18. “For all the rookies who came into Formula 1 last year, a new car this year is kind of a good thing,” says the Italian teenager. “Because we’re used to driving a different car every year.”

“We’re used to adapting to a new car as quickly as possible. That’s why it’s good that we have a new car this year, because it’s a reset for everyone,” Antonelli continues. “Maybe it will help us understand the car a little faster than others.”

Chance for a level playing field

The Mercedes driver therefore believes that the field will be more evenly matched, as everyone has to start from scratch – unlike last season, where he may have started at a disadvantage compared to the established competition. “It’s a massive rule change and it resets everything to zero because everyone has to learn the car again,” Antonelli adds.

“It’s better on this side because last year was the last year of the old rules. Most drivers knew the car very, very well and had developed it over many years,” he explains. “This year, everything is definitely completely new. On the driver’s side, that’s a great opportunity because whoever understands it best and earliest can really make a difference.”

However, that doesn’t mean that the veterans will automatically have problems and be beaten by the youngsters. Inexperience cost Antonelli dearly last season. Although he occasionally shone with three podium finishes and a sprint pole in Miami, he also had many unnecessary accidents in free practice and at times struggled with the pressure that comes with being a highly rated rookie—his home race in Imola being a case in point.

Respect for the experience of the “old guard”

“The other drivers aren’t stupid, and they’re pretty good,” admits the now 19-year-old. “I think they’ll figure it out very quickly. Experience still counts. Experience helps you know how to approach the year and each weekend.”

“Of course, I have a year of Formula 1 behind me and I’ve learned a lot, but this year I’m sure I’ll approach some things differently. I feel like I still have a lot to learn.“

”So there will still be a small difference in terms of experience,“ Antonelli concludes. ”But on the driving side, I think we’re all on the same level now that we have the new car. That will be a huge opportunity.”

Andrea Stella: We need to explain the new rules to viewers

In light of the major changes in Formula 1 this year, McLaren team principal Andrea Stella emphasizes how important it is to explain many things to viewers.

Over the past few weeks and months, there has been repeated talk that 2026 will bring perhaps the biggest rule changes Formula 1 has ever seen. Andrea Stella emphasizes that it is important to explain these changes to fans.

This is because viewers of the premier class will be confronted with numerous new terms this season, such as “overtake mode” and the introduction of new active aerodynamics. All these things could lead to significant changes in racing.

For example, viewers might wonder why one driver was able to overtake another relatively easily, explains Stella. It is possible, for example, that one driver’s battery was empty, which is why he was unable to defend himself. “It is important that viewers understand why these overtaking maneuvers were so easy,” Stella emphasizes. The same applies to active aerodynamics. “It must be clear to our fans and viewers: what does this mean for energy consumption?” “You use a lot more energy if you don’t open the wings,” he explains, adding: “When the wings are not open, the car drives much lower and you suddenly see it touching down.” Things like this also need to be explained to the fans.

After the Formula 1 shakedown in Barcelona, George Russell said of the new cars: “Sometimes you shift down at the end of the straight even though you’re fully on the throttle.” And Esteban Ocon revealed: “During qualifying runs, we do ‘lift and coast’ and things like that.”

Formula 1 will therefore be significantly different in the 2026 season than it has been before. “I think the clearer we communicate all this to the fans and viewers, the more involved they will feel and the more likely we will be able to continue to offer such a spectacular show as we have been able to do in Formula 1 so far,” said Stella.

The McLaren team boss emphasizes: “That’s one of the reasons why Formula 1 has gained so much popularity lately.” That’s why it’s important to accompany viewers well on their way into the new era of the premier class this year.

Emotional Norris: His advice to “little Lando”

Lando Norris speaks openly about his most difficult moments in motorsport – The world champion suffered from self-doubt for years on his way to the top

Motorsport can be a real shark tank, which is why self-confidence is a crucial factor. Lando Norris has confessed that he would advise his younger self to believe in himself more. The Brit admitted that feelings of self-doubt accompanied him throughout his rise to Formula 1—even though he celebrated numerous successes along the way.

At the 2026 Autosport Awards, the world champion was asked what advice he would give himself if he could return to the night he won the prestigious Autosport BRDC Award – a moment that played a key role in advancing his career at McLaren.

“Honestly, the most important thing would probably be to believe in myself a little more,” said Norris. “I’ve actually always been the exact opposite. I was never someone who jumped out of bed in the morning and thought, ‘Today is going to be my day, I’m going to achieve everything’. That’s just not who I was. That’s not how I grew up.”

Expectation management as a protective shield

However, this emotional restraint also allowed him to control his expectations and the inevitably growing pressure on his shoulders.

“There are pros and cons,” he explains. “I don’t have any expectations. I don’t expect to go out and win every race, which is a good thing. But I still set high standards for myself. I’ve always had high expectations of my own performance.“

”I never thought it was possible,“ he continues. ”Even at a young age, I always looked up to the next higher category and thought, ‘
Will I be able to beat these bigger, older, and more experienced guys?’ Especially when I was very young,“ he adds with a laugh.
Norris worked his way up step by step.
”Every year I thought, ‘Oh, I’ve done it.
I could win, I moved up to the next category and won again. That continued until Formula 2 – where George [Russell] beat me – and then it was, ‘Okay, can I do the same in Formula 1?’”

After making his debut for McLaren in 2019, it was a long road to the top for the Brit. “It took long enough, but in the end I did it,” he laughs.

Now he is world champion and looks back on his career with a new perspective: “If I could go back and tell little Lando one thing, it would be to just have a little more confidence.”

The fall from grace of a Graf rival

The fall from grace of a Graf rival

Arantxa Sánchez Vicario was once Steffi Graf’s toughest Grand Slam rival. Now, she has been at the center of unpleasant headlines and an ugly family feud for years.

She made history on the tennis court and was one of the greatest rivals of German player of the century Steffi Graf—off the court, however, she has repeatedly made less than favorable headlines in recent years.

Thirty-one years ago today, Arantxa Sánchez Vicario became the first Spanish woman to top the world tennis rankings. However, after the end of her successful career, the 54-year-old’s second life was full of unpleasant turmoil.

About two years ago, she escaped a bitter low point when she avoided a looming four-year prison sentence in court. Nevertheless, she has been through a lot in recent years and decades, not least due to bad influences in her immediate family.

Arantxa Sánchez Vicario faced Steffi Graf in seven major finals

Sánchez Vicario, born on December 18, 1971, in Barcelona, followed her brothers Emilio and Javier into the professional circuit in 1985 and became the most successful representative of the tennis dynasty.

In 1989, the then 18-year-old Catalan surprised everyone by ending Graf’s winning streak at major tournaments after her Golden Slam year in 1988: the combative and counter-attacking Sánchez Vicario defeated Graf in the final of the French Open – her first of a total of four Grand Slam singles titles.

In 1994 and 1998, Sánchez Vicario triumphed twice more at Roland Garros (with final victories over Mary Pierce and Monica Seles), and in 1994 she also defeated Graf in the final of the US Open – although she lost five more Grand Slam finals to her (once at the Australian Open, twice each in Paris and Wimbledon).
Graf faced no other rival more often on the big stage.

Many famous companions

Sánchez Vicario won six more Grand Slam titles in doubles – together with Helena Sukova, the late Jana Novotna, and the American Chanda Rubin.

On February 6, 1995, Sánchez Vicario became only the seventh player ever to reach No. 1 in the WTA world rankings, where she remained for eleven weeks – and No. 1 in doubles for 111 weeks.

Sánchez Vicario won a total of 29 titles during her career, celebrating final victories over numerous other top stars such as Gabriela Sabatini, Martina Navratilova, and the young Venus Williams. She also faced Serena Williams several times between 1998 and 2000. Sánchez Vicario also enjoyed success at the Olympics, winning two silver and two bronze medals in 1992 in her home city of Barcelona and in 1996 in Atlanta, in singles and doubles with her compatriot Conchita Martinez. She ended her career in 2002, but was apparently unable to reap much of the rewards of her hard work.

Entire fortune allegedly embezzled

In a biography published in 2012, she accused her parents of spending all the earnings from her career (around 56 million euros) and sued her father Emilio Sr. and brother Javier for embezzlement. The case ended with an out-of-court settlement.

The relationship within the family remained fractured after the death of Arantxa’s father in 2016: when she and her then-husband Josep Santacana wanted to visit his final resting place, ugly scenes ensued. Santacana was verbally abused by the other relatives and asked to leave; it is said that he almost came to blows with Javier, and her mother Marisa fainted. Sánchez Vicario, who moved to the US in 2014, has herself been the subject of several legal investigations into financial and tax matters, which ultimately led to a rift with Santacana, the father of her two children, Arantxa Jr. and Leo.

Sánchez Vicario now also accuses businessman Santacana of concealing his wife’s assets in order to avoid a €7.5 million payment to a bank where she had taken out loans to cover her tax debts.

Because co-defendant Sánchez Vicario tearfully convinced the court that she had acted in bad faith and was clueless about financial matters, she got off with a suspended sentence. Her ex-husband was sentenced to three years and three months in prison.
