Standard Lüttich
Witsel Axel
Und nun?
Der ehemalige Dortmund-Star Axel Witsel (36) steht vor einer ungewissen Zukunft. Sein Vertrag bei Atlético Madrid ist ausgelaufen. Jetzt ist der Belgier auf Vereinssuche.
[–>In einem emotionalen Instagram-Post verabschiedete sich Witsel von den „Colchoneros“: „Ich möchte dem Verein, meinen Mitspielern, dem Trainerstab und allen Fans danken – für den warmen Empfang vom ersten Tag an. Danke für euer Vertrauen, eure Leidenschaft und die bedingungslose Unterstützung.“
Und weiter: „Ich habe hier intensive Momente erlebt, voller Emotionen, Herausforderungen, Siege und großem Stolz. Es war eine Ehre, dieses Trikot zu tragen – und ich werde diese Etappe meiner Karriere stets in ganz besonderer Erinnerung behalten. Danke für alles. Das ist kein Abschied für immer – sondern ein Bis bald.“
Witsel blickt auf 116 Pflichtspiele im Trikot von Atlético zurück, dabei erzielte er drei Tore und gab zwei Vorlagen. Mit 36 Jahren denkt der frühere BVB-Liebling aber noch nicht ans Aufhören. Vielmehr stellt sich nun die Frage: Wo schlägt der Mittelfeld-Stratege als Nächstes auf?
Stuttgart-Legende Müller: Woltemade-Summen „utopisch“ und „unappetitlich“
Ein neuer Klub ist bislang nicht offiziell bekannt, doch ganz ohne Optionen ist er wohl nicht. Immer wieder wird über eine mögliche Rückkehr zu Standard Lüttich spekuliert. Witsel war 1999 in die Jugend vom Klub gekommen, 2006 feierte er für die Belgier dann sein Profi-Debüt. In den folgenden Jahren wurde er zweimal Belgischer Meister und Supercupsieger (beides 2008 und 2009), dazu gewann er 2011 den Pokal. Gleichzeitig berichten mehrere Medien über Interesse aus Saudi-Arabien.
Der Nationalspieler (132 Länderspiele) hat von 2018 bis 2022 für den BVB gespielt und sich in dieser Zeit zu einer festen Größe im Mittelfeld etabliert. Vier Jahre spielte Witsel für die Borussen, wurde mit Dortmund DFB-Pokalsieger (2021) und Supercupsieger (2019). Seit 2022 lief der Abräumer für Atlético auf. Wo geht die Reise nun als Nächstes hin?

Slot seeking new ways to stop opposition as Liverpool aim to bounce back
Liverpool head coach Arne Slot believes he benefited from the aura of Jurgen Klopp in his first season, but knows the situation has changed now that they are the defending Premier League champions.Slot believes opponents felt they could capitalise on his first season, coming from the Eredivisie to manage in England for the first time and succeeding the highly successful German, and were keen to exploit a perceived weakness. However, that played into Liverpool's hands as a squad which - apart from the hardly used Federico Chiesa - had been founded on Klopp's methods took advantage of more attacking opposition to establish a solid lead and then go on to win the title.Slot noticed a change in the approach towards them midway through last season, but by then it was virtually too late to reel them in.However, in this campaign, […]

Fantasy Football: Identifying the players who could see more targets in Week 5
Estimated Reading Time: 6 minutes Last year, I introduced a new framework for understanding wide receiver play, quarterback decision-making and offensive potential. This framework relies on an XGBOOST model and PFF’s impressive collection of route-level data. Using machine learning and this breadth of PFF data, we can create models with the goal of predicting where a target should go on a given play. The resulting metrics, Share of Predicted Targets and Share of Predicted Air Yards, are both more stable than their “actual” counterparts Week 4 Recap Week 5 Potential Breakouts These are players who were open significantly more than they garnered targets in Week 4. In general, players who show up on this list see an uptick in Targets per Route Run and Target Share relative to both themselves and all players with similar target shares. A.J. Brown had […]
Alonso fastest as Albon’s car catches fire in Singapore first practice
Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso was fastest from Ferrari's Charles Leclerc in first practice for the Singapore Grand Prix as Alex Albon's Williams caught fire early on.Alonso, who recently admitted 2026 could be his final season in F1, topped a practice session for the first time this year by 0.150s ahead of Leclerc with the McLarens of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris only fifth and sixth on a track they are expected to dominate at. Max Verstappen was third from Lewis Hamilton in fourth, both drivers within four tenths of Alonso, but first practice in Singapore is largely unrepresentative since it takes place in the day during hotter temperatures compared to qualifying on Saturday and the race on Sunday at night.Two-time world champion Alonso had the benefit of setting his lap later than most of the field, so had better track […]
