☕️ Jorge Jesus stands firm on Cristiano, Raphinha and Friday’s 5️⃣ stories | OneFootball

On a Friday shaped by the hangover from the latest revelations in the Negreira Case and Cristiano Ronaldo’s walkout in Portugal, these are the five main talking points around which the day could revolve.

🚑 What’s going on with Raphinha?

Raphinha’s last three injuries have all been in the same area and while on duty with Brazil. Mundo Deportivo reports that Barcelona will speak with him today to find out whether there are recurring patterns and how to tackle the problem so it does not happen again.

Clearly, too many matches — especially friendlies — offer no benefit whatsoever to players’ health, as journalist Pepe Brasín rightly points out.

👔 Messi and multi-club ownership

Lionel Messi bought another club in Spain: Eldense, expanding his map of teams around the world. He now has Eldense in Spain’s Segunda División; Cornellà in the Tercera Federación, the fifth tier of Spanish football; and he is also involved alongside Luis Suárez in Deportivo LSM of Uruguay.

🔥 Jorge Jesus’s message to Cristiano

“Nothing has changed. There are players with status, but the rules are the same for everyone. I have always thought this way throughout my career and I will continue to think this way,” Jorge Jesus fired back in a far from conciliatory tone.

Cristiano’s traumatic ending with the Portugal national team goes on.

🤩 A blockbuster in Paris

France and Italy face off at the Stade de France, with the spotlight on a legend in the history of both sides: a stellar Zinedine Zidane, now also in the dugout.

Mancini is unsure about Kean and could start Calafiori and Barella. Zizou will give Dembélé the nod from the start.

These are the possible lineups:

ITALY: Donnarumma; Kayode, Mancini, Bastoni, Calafiori; Fagioli, Barella, Tonali; Maldini, Pio Esposito, Cambiaghi. Coach: Roberto Mancini.

FRANCE: Maignan; Koundé, Upamecano, Jacquet, Truffert; Koné, Da Cunha, Cherki; Olise, Dembélé, Doué. Coach: Zinedine Zidane.
