“Mission Sextuple”
Real Madrid have a lot of work to do in the coming months. The white ballet could win a total of six titles. However, they only have five months to do so. On its front page, ‘as’ shows a photo montage of the real stars holding the big trophies. No team has ever won all six titles in one season, writes the sports newspaper. Because both FC Barcelona (2015) and FC Bayern (2020) only managed the feat over two seasons. With the European Super Cup, the first trophy is already in the royal cupboard.
Pep substitutes the win
In England yesterday there was a big showdown between Chelsea and Manchester City (0:1). After a goalless first half, both teams got off to a good start in the second half.

Also in the Daily Star, the one with the pun “Mahgish” titles. The ‘Daily Mail’ focuses on Pep’s lucky hand, who was spot on with his substitutions.
Headache at Benfica
It’s not easy for Roger Schmidt at the moment. His angry speech yesterday about Chelsea FC’s attempts to transfer Enzo Fernández made headlines in Portugal today. “They are trying to drive the player insane”, the German coach accused the Blues. The ‘O Jogo’ headlines in large letters “Headache”. In addition, she creates a photo in which Schmidt touches his head. The ‘Record’ writes: “Schmidt shoots against Chelsea… and against the player.”
