The reaction to Lionel Messi possibly leaving Barcelona is understandably skeptical. We’ve been here before. He has a year left on his contract. There’s the $825 million release clause. He’s Mr. Barcelona!

Alphonso Davies had the best week of his life after he became the first Canadian to lift the Champions League trophy and garnered attention from high-profile celebrities. Just when the former Vancouver Whitecaps player thought his week couldn’t get any better, rap icon Drake gave Davies a follow on Instagram. Davies reacted accordingly.

Bayern Munich rode its way to becoming the Champions League champion on the back of goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. Of course there was plenty of talent on the field that led to the win, but Neuer kept Bayern in the game by coming up with several huge saves. 

PSG opened the match with two clear chances from the get-go. Neuer had to stop the likes of Neymar...

The mask debate in this country is thankfully dying down. Despite lingering efforts to counteract mask-wearing, including an attempt from a USMNT player, the majority of people in the U.S. have agreed to cover their damn mouth.

European glory is on the line Friday with Inter Milan and Sevilla facing off in the Europa League final in what should be an exhilarating match. 

Inter — the hottest team in Europe right now not named Bayern Munich — will have its hands full against the Europa League’s star pupil Sevilla. The Spanish club has won the competition more than any other team and will look to raise its fourth Europa League trophy in the past seven years.

The last 24 hours haven’t been too kind to supporters of Olympique Lyonnais. Lyon’s senior team received the Bayern boot from the Champions League and the youth squad was eliminated from the UEFA Youth League on Wednesday.

But Lyon’s youth team had a far more devastating exit after losing to RB Salzburg 4-3 in the quarterfinal. The most brutal part is that Lyon had a clear opportunity for that fourth goal at the start of the match. Watch as this poor Lyon youth player misses a penalty kick three times in a row.
