An extra incentive for the second leg against Atlético.

FC Barcelona are playing for pride, honor, and of course, money in their meeting against Atlético Madrid. Teams reaching the UEFA Champions League semifinals will get a 15 million euro prize, plus additional gate receipts, and the chance to win more prize money in advancing.

For Barça, that could be important as they continue their financial recovery, though the team reportedly see it as a bonus, not a requirement, as the annual budget pre-supposes they reach the quarterfinals and no further. Barcelona already have earned 100.34 million from the competition already, a figure surpassed only by Bayern Munich (112.32), Arsenal (109.74), Liverpool (109.47), and Real Madrid (102.62). Atlético have earned 89.22.

Age nothing but a number as Hugo Broos hails Themba Zwane's Bafana Bafana return

Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos says Themba Zwane naturally commands respect and is almost “un-coachable”, insisting it would be difficult to leave him out when fully fit.

Broos recently named Zwane in his final squad for the two international friendlies against Panama this month, marking the veteran midfielder’s return to the national setup after sustaining an injury late in 2024.

Zwane’s recall has drawn mixed reactions. Some believe he remains a valuable addition to Bafana due to his talent and experience, while others argue he lacks sufficient game time, as he is carefully managed at Mamelodi Sundowns.
