Die Saison war eine einzige Enttäuschung, und doch hat Manchester City noch die Chance, einen Titel zu gewinnen.
Am Samstag (17.30 Uhr, live im Ticker von SPORT BILD) treffen die Cityzens im Wembley Stadion auf Crystal Palace mit Ex-Bundesliga-Trainer Oliver Glasner. Für das Team von Trainer Pep Guardiola ist es die Möglichkeit, die Spielzeit mit dem Pokal-Triumph noch irgendwie zu retten.
Fußball-Feld auf dem Dach: Welt-Klub präsentiert verrücktes Luxus-Projekt
Vor dem Finale hat Torjäger Erling Haaland (24) schon mal ein Fazit gezogen – und lässt dabei seinem Frust freien Lauf.
Der Norweger sagt: „Die Saison war hart. Es ist nicht schön, so viele Spiele zu verlieren. Es ist langweilig und macht keinen Spaß. Deswegen müssen wir sie zumindest gut abschließen.“ Im Klartext: City muss das Finale gewinnen sowie in der Liga auf einem Platz abschließen, der zur Teilnahme an der Champions League berechtigt. Aktuell rangiert Manchester auf Platz 4 – 18 Punkte hinter Meister FC Liverpool.
Haaland deutlich: „Das war nicht gut genug. Wir waren nicht da, um in der Premier League oder in der Champions League um den Titel zu kämpfen, und das ist einfach nicht gut genug für einen Klub wie City.“
[–>Der Torjäger hat keine Erklärung für die schlechte Saison: „Ich kenne die Antwort nicht, um ehrlich zu sein. Aber manchmal muss man einfach nur ein bisschen mehr laufen. Man muss mehr rennen. Wir sind in dieser Saison nicht genug gelaufen. Man muss mehr laufen, man muss besser performen, man muss als Mannschaft stabil sein.“
Er sagt: „Jeder einzelne von uns war nicht gut genug, wir waren nicht in Bestform, und wenn man nicht sein Bestes gibt, gewinnt man keine Spiele in diesem Land.“
Haaland, der in dieser Saison in 41 Spielen 30 Tore erzielt hat, will den FA-Cup unbedingt gewinnen, um die Saison zu retten – zweifelt aber daran, ob das jeder seiner Teamkollegen genauso sieht: „Mir würde es definitiv helfen. Das ist es, was ich will. Deswegen bin ich hier. Aber bei den Standards, die die anderen Jungs (in den vergangenen Jahren) gesetzt haben – vielleicht bedeutet es ihnen nicht so viel. Aber mir würde es definitiv helfen.“

Christian Norgaard to Arsenal: Everything you need to know about the transfer – TLDR
Arsenal have signed Christian Norgaard from Brentford for a fee of £10million ($13m; €11m), plus a further £2m in potential add-ons.The 31-year-old has signed a two-year contract at the Emirates with the option of a third year.As part of this summer’s transfer coverage on The Athletic, in addition to breaking news, tactical analysis and in-depth reads, our Transfers TLDR series (you can read them all here) will bring you a quick guide to each of the key deals.Give me their backstory in 100 words… Norgaard had to wait patiently to break through outside his native Denmark.

Back in Denmark, he spent five seasons at Brondby — three of them under Thomas Frank — and won the club’s player […]
Yankees’ Brian Cashman vouches for Anthony Volpe. But a closer look shows reason for concern
NEW YORK — Two years ago, Brian Cashman passionately defended the New York Yankees’ player development arm during an hourlong back-and-forth with the media at the 2023 GM Meetings in Scottsdale, Ariz. At the heart of his defense was shortstop Anthony Volpe, who won a Gold Glove Award in his rookie season but finished in the bottom 10 of the league offensively.AdvertisementCashman was adamant that Volpe would “crush it offensively” the following season and that his struggles at the plate in 2023 were related to not getting much experience at Triple A, even though the Yankees viewed him as the best option for the major-league shortstop job out of spring training.In 2024, the year Cashman expected a breakout offensively, Volpe posted a worse OPS (.657) than his rookie season (.666). Now in his third season, Volpe once again has an […]
Tigers’ Zach McKinstry is an unlikely, but also well-deserved, All-Star
DETROIT — Nope, he didn’t think this would happen. Not three years ago, when he was buried on the bench with the Dodgers, not back when he was getting cut from the Cubs, not last year when he was clinging to his Tigers roster spot for dear life.Zach McKinstry has always been self-aware. Aware of the fact he was a 33rd-round draft pick out of Central Michigan, which before now had only produced one other MLB All-Star (outfielder Tom Tresh, who represented the Yankees in 1962 and 1963).AdvertisementHe’s aware of the fact he’s now 30, a scrappy super-utility player, the type of guy who can make a roster function but rarely gets the acclaim.But look at the numbers on the scoreboard, and it is difficult to dismiss Zach McKinstry’s case for an All-Star nod. He is hitting .286 with an […]
MLB Draft 2025: Names to know beyond the top 100 prospects
There will be more than 600 players selected in the 2025 MLB Draft. We have ranked the top 100 prospects, but there are many more players who could make an impact at the next level whose names will also be called during the draft. Below are scouting notes on players who aren’t on the top-100 list but could be drafted.(Note: Prospects listed in alphabetical order; this isn’t a ranking. Scouting grades are on a traditional 20-80 scale.)Chris Arroyo, 1B, VirginiaH: 6-2 | W: 225 | B/T: L/L | DOB: 9/17/2004Arroyo started out at Florida in 2023 as a reliever, then went to a JUCO for a year, landing at Virginia this spring and becoming their everyday first baseman while throwing 12 innings out of the bullpen. He hit .291/.361/.519, but there’s probably more power in there than the line indicates; his […]
Nikola Topić, Bronny James and more non-rookies to watch at Las Vegas Summer League
Cooper Flagg is playing!OK, now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, I’m here to inform you that many other notable players who are not Flagg will take the floor at Las Vegas Summer League, including several who aren’t rookies at all.I know this is a shock to the system, because summer league is usually about rookies. After all, this is the first chance for fans to see how all the lottery picks will look on an NBA floor. By the time a young player’s second and third seasons have rolled around, we know a lot more about them … usually.AdvertisementBut not always. Take Nikola Topić, for instance. He is an NBA champion, and in three months, he’ll play his first regular-season NBA game.The Oklahoma City guard spent his entire rookie season watching from the sidelines while rehabbing a […]
