Inter Milan Vs Roma – Senior Nerazzurri Squad Members Lead Dressing R…

A group of Inter Milan senior players took matters into their own hands in the build-up to Sunday’s Easter showdown with Roma, calling a private dressing room meeting to clear the air and refocus the squad on what remains within their grasp this season.

According to Tuttosport, via FCInterNews, a couple of senior figures asked Cristian Chivu’s permission to address the group.

They gathered the entire squad in the dressing room.

And then spent around an hour talking through the need to set aside the joys and disappointments of the international break and concentrate entirely on the title run-in.

The two objectives were stated clearly: the Scudetto and the Coppa Italia.

Two trophies that, if won, would make this season more than satisfactory after the painful way the Inzaghi era ended.

Lautaro Sets The Tone As Inter Milan Prepare To Turn The Page In Roma Clash

Lautaro Martinez led by example both in that meeting and publicly, with his DAZN interview on Saturday serving as a rallying cry to teammates and supporters alike.

“We need to learn to have fun again among ourselves, attitude is the most important thing,” the captain said.

“We must turn the page. There is no time to think about the past. We must keep doing what the coach asks and try to win matches, in the end what counts is winning and staying up there.”

For several players, the Italian internationals and Piotr Zielinski most acutely, tonight also represents the first opportunity to channel the pain of missing the World Cup into something positive.

The worst is now behind them.

Bayern Munich and Real Madrid will butt heads in the Champions League on Tuesday in what will be one of the most anticipated matches of the 2025/26 season.

The Bavarians will have some momentum after securing a dynamic, come-from-behind 3-2 victory over SC Freiburg in the Bundesliga. Meanwhile, Real Madrid was ousted 2-1 in a shocking defeat at the hands of Mallorca.

Clearly, both squads were guilty of looking (at least) a little ahead. Bayern Munich was able to dig deep and secure a win, though — something that showed the squad’s mettle and resilience.

After the win, Bayern Munich was confident for the challenge that lies ahead at the Bernabéu.

Below, Abendzeitung (via @iMiaSanMia) compiled some statements from players addressing the big game:

Tom Bischof: “I’m sure we can beat Real Madrid”

Josip Stanišić: “We’re going into the game with 110% confidence.”

Lennart Karl: “We simply can beat anyone right now.”

Confidence is key, but words will not matter when the whistle blows in Spain. It will be a slugfest and both teams will need to be on-point for what they are about to face.

Liam Rosenior believes Liam Delap is ready for senior international football following reports he could look to represent Ireland.

Delap has endured a tough debut campaign following his £30m move from Ipswich last summer, and has scored just twice in 33 appearances.

Only one of those goals have come in the Premier League, and the 23-year-old has already been linked with a summer exit.

Rosenior feels Liam Delap is ready for senior international football

Delap would have been disappointed to only be named on the bench for Saturday’s 7-0 FA Cup quarter final win against Port Vale.

He came on in the second half, but was unable to get amongst the goals, and perhaps he should have been give the late penalty which Alejandro Garnacho converted to boost his confidence.

Jamie Carragher feels the move to Chelsea was too big a step for Delap, and it’s hard to argue on current evidence.

A strong season could have seen Delap potentially make England’s World Cup squad, and there have been recent reports stating he could switch allegiance to Ireland.

Rosenior was asked about this after the win against Port Vale, and believes the striker is ready for international football.

“Yeah, I think Liam’s ready, he’s playing at a world-class football club,” he told his post match press conference.

“He’s played Champions League football, he’s scored goals for Ipswich last season in the Premier League, whether it’s England or Ireland, Liam’s more than good enough to play international football.”

Palmer wasn’t able to get on the scoresheet or make a huge impact, but after a difficult international break, that could have been the confidence boost he needed.

Check out the latest edition of Simon Phillips’ SPTC podcast here:

This is the weekend high school track and field takes center stage in Southern California. Quincy Wilson, who won a gold medal at the age of 16 at the 2024 Olympic Games, is coming from Maryland to compete in the 400 and two relays at the Arcadia Invitational at Arcadia High on Saturday.

“I’m so fired up,” Servite coach Brandon Thomas said.

And Thomas isn’t running.

Servite’s 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams will have to deal with Bullis High and Wilson running the anchor leg in races that should have fans standing on their feet while listening to the oohs and aahs.

“From a competitive standpoint, they’re excited to compete against the country’s best,” Thomas said.

Servite's 4x100 relay team sent a message on Saturday, becoming the first to break 40 seconds in California history, winning in 39.82 at Trabuco Hills.

It’s all a perfect setup, from the atmosphere to the stiff competition, to prepare for next month’s section and state championships.

There’s two Loyola High athletes, sprinter Zion Phelps and 400 runner Ejam Yohannes, who hope to use Arcadia as a springboard to continue their early success this season.

Phelps is in his first year of track after being a defensive back and receiver for the football team. He and Loyola’s new coach, Sharaud Moore, were having conversions during the fall.

“He swore up and down he was the fastest kid in the school,” Moore said. “Yeah, put your money where your mouth is.”

Said Phelps: “I told him, ‘Just wait.’ I knew I had that speed and wanted to prove it.”

He ran a wind-aided 100-meter time of 10.39 seconds this spring. Last week in a Mission League dual meet against Sherman Oaks Notre Dame, he won with a time of 10.56.

Said Moore: “I was his harshest critic on the field.“We’re going back and forth and he was right. He’s s really fast.”

Showing his speed is legitimate will help with his football recruiting going into his senior year in the fall.

“Definitely this year has pushed my recruitment out there with my track times,” Phelps said. “I wanted to show the. I’m dedicated to this and being a multi-sport athlete. It will translate a lot.”

Yohannes, set to face Wilson in the 400, has an equally compelling story. He never played organized sports until joining the track team as a freshman. His parents came here from the small African country of Eritrea. His first name is Ethiopian.

He ran the 400 in 52.48 seconds as a freshman, focused more on having fun. Sophomore season he dropped to 50.75 and said to himself, “Wow, I’m fast.” He started getting serious.

“Now I wanted to be better,” he said.

An injury in January of last year didn’t let him get the foundation to run as fast as he hoped. He dropped to 47.69. Then Moore became coach, and Yohannes finally put in months of training to build a foundation.

“He comes in and kills me,” Yohannes said.

Then came the reward — 46.11 on March 21. In his final tuneup on Saturday, he ran 47.17 at the Red Rock Running Invitational.

“He’s a student and studies racing, training, race plans, athletes, programs,” Moore said.

As for facing Wilson, Yohannes’ attitude is bring him on.

“I'm excited to go out there,” he said. “It’s great competition. If I don’t believe I can win, nobody else can. If I don’t believe in myself, it’s over. I’m going to give my best. I might be crazy to saying this, but I think I have chance. He's world class already in high school. He’s top of the line talent, It’s whoever wins on that given day. This is going to be unreal pressure knowing if I win, my name is out there. That puts me on the map. I can dream.”

Peretz emerged as one of the more talked-about figures in British football coverage after helping Southampton beat Arsenal for the British FA Cup.

Israeli goalkeeper Daniel Peretz drew widespread British media attention over the weekend after helping Southampton, a club from England’s second-tier Championship, defeat Arsenal 2-1 in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

The result was treated in Britain as a major upset. Arsenal is one of England’s biggest clubs and a Premier League contender, while Southampton’s victory sent it to the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley, England’s national stadium.

Peretz, who is on loan at Southampton from Bayern Munich, stood at the center of the coverage for two reasons: his performance in the win and a widely read interview published before the match.

The strongest UK coverage came from The Guardian, which published an in-depth interview with Peretz ahead of the game. In it, the Israeli international spoke about Southampton’s confidence before facing Arsenal, concern for family members in Tel Aviv living under the threat of air raid sirens, and football’s role as a source of focus during wartime.

“We have a lot of respect for Arsenal, but we are not afraid,” Peretz told The Guardian. “If someone does not believing 100%, then he should not come to the game.”

He also described the strain of following events in Israel while continuing his career abroad, saying football had become “a really good therapy” and a way to make Israelis proud.

The interview gave British readers a broader picture of Peretz beyond the match itself. He spoke about admiring Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, training alongside England captain Harry Kane, and making his Champions League debut, while also indicating that his long-term future would likely depend on how Southampton’s season ends. Reports noted that Southampton holds a reported buy option on the goalkeeper.

Pertz's composure helps Southamptom beat Arsenal

After the match, British reports highlighted Peretz’s composure and several important saves as Southampton absorbed late Arsenal pressure to reach the final four of England’s oldest and most prestigious knockout soccer competition. His display was presented as one of the important factors in Southampton’s win and in the club’s growing belief during its strong recent run.

A secondary media angle centered on Peretz’s marriage to Israeli singer Noa Kirel, one of Israel’s best-known pop stars and a Eurovision star. British tabloid coverage leaned heavily into that aspect of the story, with The Sun revisiting Peretz’s account of first noticing Kirel while watching the Eurovision Song Contest and later marrying her in November 2025.

Several reports repeated an Israeli media comparison of the couple to David and Victoria Beckham, the former England soccer star and the pop singer-turned-fashion figure once known globally as “Posh Spice.” In that framing, Peretz and Kirel were described as “Israel’s Posh and Becks,” a British shorthand that would immediately be recognized as referring to a high-profile celebrity sports couple.

That celebrity angle added another layer to a weekend in which Peretz emerged as one of the more talked-about figures in British football coverage. The attention reflected both the scale of Southampton’s result and Peretz’s growing profile at the club, where he has increasingly been portrayed as an important figure in the push for promotion to the Premier League and in the team’s FA Cup run.

For Peretz, the weekend marked a rare moment in which an Israeli soccer player stood at the center of a major British sports story, driven by a standout cup upset, a strong personal interview, and public fascination with a marriage that has made the couple one of Israel’s most recognizable celebrity pairings.
