Football News: Cristiano Ronaldo may not See 2026 World Cup, Guiu Scores on His First Touch with Barça, Mourinho Mocks Papy Gomez

At the age of 17, Guiu plays and scores for the first time with Barça. Meanwhile, Lionel Messi, now with Inter Miami, expresses pride in the team’s accomplishments for the season. And CR7’s future far from certain.

Inter Miami and Messi. They secured the Leagues Cup, the club’s first-ever title, reached the Open Cup final (despite Messi’s absence due to injury, which resulted in a 1-2 defeat against Houston), and nearly made it to the playoffs.

Messi is optimistic about the team’s future, aiming to become even more competitive next year. He extends his gratitude to the club and the city of Miami for their support. The former Barcelona player shares his confidence in experiencing more incredible moments together, without a mention of PSG.

In La Liga, a memorable moment occurred during the 10th round match between FC Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao. Despite their initial struggles, Barcelona won 1-0, thanks to 17-year-old Guiu, who made his professional debut. Ter Stegen, the goalkeeper, made crucial saves to deny Athletic Bilbao’s first-half attempts. In the second half, Barcelona displayed improved gameplay and had several clear chances, one of which Guiu seized. He entered the game in the 79th minute, scoring only 30 seconds later on his first touch, securing the victory for Barcelona.

The victory brought Barcelona closer to Real Madrid and Girona in the Liga standings, with just a one-point gap. While the match was challenging, Barcelona managed to claim all three points, thanks to Guiu’s contribution.

Finally, José Mourinho humorously mocks Papu Gomez, an Argentine player who tested positive for doping during the World Cup. Mourinho jokes that he hasn’t forgotten the situation, referencing Gomez’s positive test during the semi-final against Juventus.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Participation in the 2026 World Cup Is Far from Certain. Cristiano Ronaldo has expressed his intention to continue playing at least until the end of his contract with Al Nassr in June 2025. Beyond that, it’s still uncertain.

CR7 contradicts media reports, stating that he will continue to commit himself and give his best for his team this season and the next. However, he has also emphasized that he will consider his body’s signals to decide if he can continue playing beyond 2025.

At the age of 38, Ronaldo is grateful for still being able to contribute to his team, but he hasn’t confirmed his participation in the 2026 World Cup. He will wait to see how he feels at that time before making a decision about his future.

« I will continue to play this season and the next as I always have, with maximum effort and commitment. Then, I will try to understand my body’s signals to see if I can continue or not. I’m 38 years old and I’m still helping and being useful to the team, which makes me happy. I have to be grateful for it. It’s through my hard work that I reached the highest level, but without my team, none of this would have been possible, » he said. Therefore, the decision for the World Cup will come in two years.
