Juventus consider dropping Michele Di Gregorio against Galatasaray — and more

Luciano Spalletti is seriously considering a change in goal for Juventus ahead of the crucial Champions League playoff second leg against Galatasaray, with Michele Di Gregorio’s starting spot now under heavy threat.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Bianconeri manager is reflecting on the possibility of removing Di Gregorio from the lineup following a string of decisive errors that have undermined the team’s defensive stability. The goalkeeper’s recent performances have been marked by high-profile blunders, specifically in the first leg against the Turkish side, as well as in the high-stakes Derby d’Italia against Inter and most recently against Como.

With the season’s European ambitions on the line, Mattia Perin is now in line to start the return leg. Spalletti appears ready to turn to the experienced deputy to provide the reliability and leadership that has been missing in recent outings. The decision reflects a growing lack of confidence in Di Gregorio, whose position as the number one choice is now more fragile than ever.

What seemed to be the beginning of a classic love story had a quick ending—perhaps even due to the evil eye!

Midfielder Derrickson Quirós, from Club Xelajú, a first division team in Guatemala, announced the end of his engagement just three days after proposing to his girlfriend on the pitch.

The romantic scene went viral on the 15th, right after Xelajú’s 4-2 victory over Marquense in the local league.

Still on the field at Mario Camposeco Stadium, the midfielder knelt down and proposed to his then-girlfriend.

The moment was recorded and quickly went viral on social media.

The lovebirds’ union, however, didn’t last long. Really, not long at all!

Three days after the event, Quirós used Instagram to confirm the end of the relationship.

The athlete asked for privacy and emphasized that his attention is now focused exclusively on football:

"Now I am focused on my career, my team, and on continuing to grow as a person. I appreciate people’s support and hope they can respect this moment. Thank you."

The player’s ex-fiancée also took to the internet to speak out. On her social media, she chose a cryptic message.

"In the end, there will never be a better answer than the one silence offers."

For Amon-Ra St. Brown, the Detroit Lions’ announcement that they will play an international game in Munich during the 2026 season is more than just another item on the schedule, it’s personal.

St. Brown has a deep connection to Germany through his family. His mother, Miriam, is from Cologne, and the Lions’ star wide receiver has openly talked for years about wanting the opportunity to play a meaningful NFL game in his mother’s home country. Now, that moment is finally becoming reality.

“It has been a dream of mine to play a game in my mother’s home country of Germany since coming to the league,” St. Brown said via the Detroit Lions. “I cannot wait to play in front of the incredible fans that I’ve gotten to know through my visits and football camps in the country.”

St. Brown has spent considerable time in Germany over the past few years as part of the Lions’ growing international presence, participating in youth football camps and fan events. Through those experiences, he’s seen firsthand how quickly the Lions’ brand has taken hold overseas.

According to St. Brown, the relationship between German fans and the Lions feels genuine—and that’s what makes the upcoming matchup so meaningful.

The 2026 game in Munich won’t just showcase Detroit football on an international stage. For St. Brown, it represents a rare full-circle moment—one that blends family, culture, and football in a way few players ever get to experience.
