Real Madrid forward Endrick has issued a poignant warning to young players about the mental toll of fame, admitting that the total loss of privacy is one of his most difficult challenges.

Real Madrid forward Endrick has candidly addressed the struggles of achieving global celebrity at a remarkably young age.

Having been recruited by the Spanish giants at 16 and debuted for Brazil at 17, the striker admitted that his meteoric rise has been emotionally draining.

He cautioned that the intense scrutiny accompanying professional success often outweighs the perceived benefits of wealth and status.

The teenager expressed a deep yearning for a future defined by peace rather than public observation.

Endrick stated: “Those who imagine that fame only rhymes with privilege and happiness are wrong. For me, it is even one of the most difficult trials to live: we lose all privacy, every gesture is observed, every word is scrutinized. I hope that one day, I can simply live in peace.”

Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane has reacted to transfer rumors linking him with a move to Barcelona, insisting he remains fully committed to the Bundesliga giants while taking the interest as a compliment.

​Harry Kane has played down claims by Barcelona presidential candidate Xavi Vilajoana regarding a potential move to the Camp Nou.

Despite Vilajoana’s assertions of contact, the England captain, who has scored 28 goals this season, remains focused on Bayern Munich.

Reports suggest the 32-year-old is nearing a contract extension to stay in Germany beyond 2027 after his brace helped Bayern defeat Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday.

​Addressing the rumors, Kane clarified that his representatives have not informed him of any formal negotiations with the Catalan club.

Kane told reporters: ”I haven’t heard anything about it. My father and brother handle everything, but they haven’t said anything to me.

As I’ve already said, I’m very happy here at Bayern. I’m focused on this season and my time at Bayern. I take it as a compliment.”

Following his record-breaking 654th Premier League appearance in Brighton’s 2-0 win over Brentford, James Milner maintained his trademark modesty, insisting team success outweighed his individual achievement.

​James Milner officially became the Premier League’s all-time appearance leader on Saturday, but the veteran midfielder remained characteristically deflective regarding his personal glory.

After surpassing Gareth Barry’s record of 653 games, Milner emphasized that his primary focus was Brighton’s victory.

Speaking to Sky Sports, he remarked: “I’ve been asked about it but it was so important to get the win today. I’m delighted.”

​The 40-year-old expressed gratitude toward those who supported his 24-year journey from Leeds to Brighton.

“It’s a good opportunity to give the nod to everyone who’s helped me to get there,” Milner said, highlighting the “sacrifices” made by his family and the work of club staff.

Despite the massive scale of the achievement, he concluded: “Anyone that knows me knows that it’s all about the team.”

Real Madrid substitute Dani Ceballos miscued a pass under pressure, one that saw possession go directly to Osasuna who found openings and scored the winner seconds later.

“I take responsibility,” he posted on his Instagram after the game with a gesture asking for fans’ forgiveness.

Nico O’Reilly’s double inspired Manchester City to a 2-1 win over Newcastle United on Saturday, cutting Arsenal’s Premier League lead to two points amid a revitalized atmosphere at the Etihad Stadium.

​Manchester City narrowed the gap at the top of the table following a “massive” 2-1 victory against a resilient Newcastle United.

Nico O’Reilly scored in each half, while a Lewis Hall effort briefly leveled the scoring for the visitors.

Pep Guardiola praised the home support, noting, “The vibe and the connection with our fans today was the best of the season.”

​Despite a late Newcastle onslaught, City held firm to maintain pressure on leaders Arsenal. Guardiola urged his players to relax before their upcoming trip to Leeds, remarking, “What you have to do is take a lot of caipirinhas and daiquiris in these next three days, enjoy life.”

Meanwhile, Eddie Howe commended his side’s physical effort following a demanding Champions League schedule.

Chelsea’s Wesley Fofana and Burnley’s Hannibal Mejbri were subjected to vile online racist abuse following their 1-1 Premier League draw on Saturday, prompting both clubs and the Premier League to demand immediate action against perpetrators.  

​Chelsea has expressed disgust after Wesley Fofana was targeted with racist messages following his red card in Saturday’s draw with Burnley. Fofana, who shared screenshots of the abuse on Instagram, stated: “2026, it’s still the same thing, nothing changes. These people are never punished. You create big campaigns against racism, but nobody actually does anything.” Chelsea responded by calling the abuse “abhorrent” and vowed to work with authorities to ensure the strongest possible action is taken.

​Burnley’s Hannibal Mejbri also faced similar hatred, prompting a firm club statement: “There is no place for this in our society and we condemn it unreservedly.” Hannibal urged followers to “educate yourself and your kids pls” after sharing the derogatory messages he received. This surge in abuse mirrors the ongoing UEFA investigation into Gianluca Prestianni, who recently allegedly admitted to using a homophobic slur against Vinícius Júnior as a defense against separate accusations of racial slurs.
