🚨 Ismaïla Sarr on the controversial penalty appeal for Youri Tielemans against Senegal:
🗣️ “This is football, not theatre. Tielemans gets to the ball first, Camara is doing exactly what every defender in the world is taught to do—protect his team and clear the danger. They arrive almost at the same time, there’s minimal contact after the challenge, and for me that is never enough to decide a World Cup match.
The Laws of the Game don’t punish every collision. A penalty should only be given when there is a clear foul—careless, reckless or excessive force. Simply touching an opponent after competing honestly for the ball is not a foul. Football has always been a contact sport.
VAR was introduced to correct clear and obvious mistakes, not to turn every tackle into a courtroom investigation. Every time football pauses for decisions like this, the game loses part of what makes it beautiful.
We fought for every metre, every duel and every second. Belgium were under pressure, and one whistle suddenly had the power to erase everything we had worked for. That’s difficult to accept.
If that’s a penalty today, then defenders should stop tackling altogether because any contact can suddenly become a spot kick. That cannot be what football is supposed to be.
Modern football is slowly becoming too soft. The players should decide these matches, not endless reviews and controversial decisions. We accept defeat when another team is better, but not when the game is taken away by moments like this.
No matter what happens, Senegal will continue fighting with pride because that’s who we are. But football has to protect fairness first, otherwise everyone loses.”
🚨🎙️Iker Casillas on the Julian Alvarez whole saga, making Real Madrid the laughing stock:
“I’ve always spoken with honesty because I love this club deeply. I owe Florentino Pérez part of my career, but love for Real Madrid means I can’t stay silent when things feel wrong. This whole situation with Julián Álvarez is embarrassing, it makes us look like a laughing stock.
For months, everyone knew Álvarez was Barcelona’s main target as they hunt for a new striker. Then, suddenly, with real competition in the presidential elections, Florentino comes out promising a massive €150 million ‘Galáctico’ signing to fire up the fans. Leaks start flying about Olise, Vitinha, or João Neves, names that actually fit what the team needs. Madridistas get excited, as they should.
Instead, what do we get? An official statement claiming this wonderful relationship with Atlético Madrid, but that our €150m bid for Álvarez was rejected. Come on. Most fans aren’t buying it because Julián doesn’t align with our biggest priorities on the pitch right now. We were expecting a move for someone essential, not this.
Sources close to the club and the timing of it all make it hard not to see this as a coordinated move. Florentino meets his campaign promise of a big bid, Atlético uses it to scare off Barcelona’s pursuit, and both clubs come out ‘winning’ while Barça takes the hit. Whether the offer was fully serious or part of a bigger game, it leaves Real Madrid looking reactive and distracted rather than focused on strengthening our own squad.
Florentino has done great things for the club in the past, but moments like this are why many questioned his reelection. The club of our history, the one that intimidates Europe with football, not statements, deserves better than these kinds of maneuvers. We need decisions that put Real Madrid first, always. No more games.”
