The last few days have been marked by an explosion of events in the world of sport, both domestically and internationally. In Romanian football, the tensions surrounding the Rapid - FCSB derby have catalyzed heated debates, while abroad, Liverpool have become champions of England and major changes at Real Madrid foreshadow a new era. In other sports, the excitement of Cristina Neagu's withdrawal from the Champions League provided a poignant moment in the return leg with Esbjerg while tennis is on the scene with the ATP tournament in Madrid underway.
HOME FOOTBALL
- FCSB/Rapid: FCSB win the derby in Giulești and distance themselves at the top of the standings with 4 rounds before the end of the championship. The match was a tense one including because of the refereeing decisions. The Rapidiștii challenged the way referee Dan Petrescu conducted the game, believing that they should have received a penalty kick in the 70th minute, which did not happen even after consulting VAR.
- Juri Cisotti: Juri Cisotti was once again FCSB's main pawn in the match against Rapid, scoring a goal and covering the areas of the pitch very well both defensively and offensively. The Italian was substituted in the 89th minute of the match when he went off injured.
- Marius Șumudică: Marius Șumudică again generated attention in the flash interview, where he railed against the refereeing. After the match, the FCSB owner ironized the Giuleș coach, declaring that now he is the best coach in Romania while Șumudică is in second place (irony to the Giuleș coach's statements that before the match he claimed that he is the number 1 coach in Romania).
