Antoine Griezmann said he is soaking up an emotional week ahead of the Copa del Rey final against his former club, Real Sociedad, as he enters his final weeks with Atlético Madrid.

If he renews his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, Luis Enrique would move closer to becoming one of the highest-paid coaches in the world. Paris Saint-Germain’s success in recent years has been driven in part by Luis Enrique, who led the French side to the top of European soccer for the first time in their history. Now, his contract extension has become a top priority for the club, with a significant salary increase on the table. “The new agreement would not only extend his stay, but also include a major salary increase. The Parisian club are willing to make Luis Enrique one of the highest-paid coaches in the world,” reported Sport this week. Reports indicate that PSG are willing to nearly double the Spanish coach’s salary. He currently earns around €11 million gross per year, while the new deal could see that figure rise to €20 million—approximately $23.6 million annually. That potential raise highlights Luis Enrique’s importance to PSG, who under his leadership have won 11 titles in two and a half years, while also aiming to repeat that success in Ligue 1 and the UEFA Champions League this season. Atletico Madrid’s Diego Simeone is the highest-paid coach in the world. Where would Luis Enrique rank among the highest-paid coaches in the world? If reports of negotiations between PSG and Luis Enrique materialize and he agrees to a new deal worth around $23.6 million gross per year, the coach would climb to fourth place in the global rankings. At present, he sits in a respectable seventh position. However, his current salary of roughly $13 million per year places him well behind the top earners. The highest-paid coach in the world right now is Diego Simeone, who earns around $35 million per year at Atletico Madrid. Next is Al Hilal’s Simone Inzaghi, who left Inter Milan last year to take up a lucrative deal worth approximately $34.3 million in the Saudi Pro League. Rounding out the top three is Pep Guardiola, who earns about $28 million at Manchester City. The current ranking of the highest-paid coaches in the world: 1- Diego Simeone – Atletico Madrid – $35 million 2- Simone Inzaghi – Al Hilal – $34.3 million 3- Pep Guardiola – Manchester City – $28 million 4- Mikel Arteta – Arsenal – $21.1 million 5- David Moyes – Everton – $16.9 million 6- Jorge Jesus – Al Nassr – $14.1 million 7- Luis Enrique – PSG – $13 million 8- Matthias Jaissle – Al Ahli – $13 million 9- Carlo Ancelotti – Brazil – $11.3 million 10- Unai Emery – Aston Villa – $11.2 million

Diego Simeone believes Atletico Madrid have evolved since their last Copa del Rey final, but insisted their quest to win trophies has not changed. Atleti will play their 20th Copa del Rey final in their history, and Simeone his second as a manager, 13 years after his first (when he won against Real Madrid at […] The post Simeone: Atletico have evolved since last Copa del Rey final in 2013 appeared first on Soccer News.

Hansi Flick has decided to delay all decisions regarding Barcelona’s next squad, including Robert Lewandowski’s future. For months, Robert Lewandowski’s future has been the subject of speculation, as his contract with Barcelona is set to expire at the end of the current season. That situation—along with other key squad decisions—has now been postponed by head coach Hansi Flick, who has set a timeline for making those calls. “Deco already has the planning mapped out, but the German coach prefers to announce departures once the title is secured,” reported Mundo Deportivo on Friday. “Flick wants to avoid the noise around future signings affecting the locker room and potentially disrupting the squad.” Following their elimination in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals against Atletico Madrid, Barcelona’s final objective this season is La Liga. They currently sit comfortably atop the standings, holding a nine-point lead over second-place Real Madrid and an 18-point advantage over third-place Villarreal. With seven matches remaining—meaning 21 points still in play—Barcelona’s path to the league title appears clear. Securing 13 of those 21 points would be enough for the Catalan side to clinch the trophy without relying on other results, and that number could be even lower if Real Madrid fail to win all of their remaining matches. Aaron Ramsdale of Newcastle United fails to save a shot from Robert Lewandowski of FC Barcelona When could Barcelona win La Liga? In the most optimistic scenario, Barcelona would still need to wait at least four more weeks to officially celebrate their 29th Spanish league title. There will be no La Liga action this weekend due to the Copa del Rey final between Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad, and then three league matches would be required. If Barcelona were to win those three matches (against Getafe, Celta Vigo, and Osasuna), and Real Madrid were to lose their next three fixtures (against Real Betis, Alaves, and Espanyol), then by the end of Matchday 34, Los Blaugranas would already be champions. That would make May 3 the earliest possible date for the title to be secured. In a more realistic scenario, Hansi Flick’s side may need a few more weeks. That opens the door to a potentially memorable situation: Barcelona clinching the title by defeating Real Madrid. El Clasico is scheduled for Matchday 35 at Camp Nou and, depending on both teams’ results in the coming weeks, could prove decisive in the La Liga title race. Lewandowski’s future Among the decisions Hansi Flick has chosen to delay until the La Liga title is secured is Robert Lewandowski’s future. Reports indicate that the Polish striker has received a one-year contract extension offer, although the player himself has stated he intends to take his time before deciding his next move. In addition to the possibility of remaining at Barcelona—where he may take on a reduced role amid rumors of the club targeting another top-level striker—Lewandowski has also been linked with clubs such as AC Milan, as well as Chicago Fire in Major League Soccer and even potential moves to the Saudi Pro League.

SEVILLE, Spain, April 17 - Atletico Madrid stand on the brink of a revival season under Diego Simeone, with Saturday's Copa del Rey final against Real Sociedad offering the chance to end a five-year wait for silverware and perhaps signal something even bigger.

Bayern Munich have taken the top spot in the UEFA rankings from Real Madrid following their Champions League clash. Real Madrid’s defeat and subsequent elimination from the Champions League against Bayern Munich last Wednesday continues to have consequences for the Spanish giants. That result has now directly impacted their position in the UEFA rankings. Real Madrid have lost top spot after a long spell at the summit, overtaken by Bayern Munich. The German side now have 146.500 points, moving ahead of Los Blancos, who sit second with 144.500. The podium is completed by Liverpool, who also climbed one place and are now third with 130.000 points. Of the four teams still remaining in the Champions League, the next best-ranked side are Paris Saint-Germain, who moved up one position to fifth place after their dominant win over Liverpool. Meanwhile, Arsenal have climbed to seventh, while Atletico Madrid have broken into the top ten. The updated UEFA rankings after the Champions League quarterfinals: 1- Bayern Munich (146.500) 2- Real Madrid (144.500) 3- Liverpool (130.000) 4- Inter Milan (127.000) 5- PSG (126.500) 6- Manchester City (125.500) 7- Arsenal (113.500) 8- Barcelona (113.250) 9- Bayer Leverkusen (105.000) 10- Atletico Madrid (103.750) Harry Kane’s Bayern Munich now lead the UEFA rankings. How do the UEFA rankings work? The UEFA rankings are a comparative system that evaluates the performance of clubs, national teams, and associations competing in European competitions, based on their results over a recent period. In the case of clubs, the calculation is based exclusively on performances in continental competitions, not domestic leagues. That means results in the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League are what matter. There is also a defined time frame used to assess those performances. “The season coefficients from the five most recent seasons are used to rank the clubs for seeding purposes,” UEFA explain on their official website. There is also a separate ranking that considers the last ten seasons instead of five, though it is used for financial rather than sporting purposes: “The season coefficients from the ten most recent seasons are used to calculate revenue club coefficients for revenue distribution purposes only.” In that alternate ranking, Bayern Munich also hold first place, with a slight edge over Real Madrid. The top two positions remain the same compared to the five-year ranking, but differences emerge further down: Manchester City sit third, while PSG and Barcelona round out the top five.
