March 12: Chelsea Fans Furious With Jorgensen After PSG Defeat

It was a disappointing night in the UEFA Champions League for Chelsea F.C., who suffered a heavy 5-2 defeat away to Paris Saint‑Germain F.C.. The game had been evenly balanced at 2-2 until the 74th minute.

The turning point came when goalkeeper Filip Jørgensen made a costly mistake that allowed Vitinha to score. PSG then added two more late goals to seal the win.

After the match, an emotional Jørgensen attempted to head straight down the tunnel, ignoring captain Reece James, who urged him to stay and applaud the travelling supporters. Journalist Julien Laurens noted that it was fellow goalkeeper Robert Sánchez who eventually convinced him to return to the pitch.

The incident sparked anger among fans online, with many criticising the goalkeeper’s attitude and accusing him of showing disrespect by ignoring his captain.

March 12: Why Jeremy Doku Seemed to ‘Disappear’ Against Real Madrid

Real Madrid C.F. produced a dominant performance to defeat Manchester City F.C. 3-0 in the first leg of their Champions League round-of-16 clash. Midfielder Federico Valverde stole the show with an incredible hat-trick.

However, another moment went viral when City winger Jérémy Doku appeared to vanish for a split second during the broadcast while dribbling near the corner flag.

The strange moment was later explained as a glitch caused by Virtual Replacement Technology, which digitally swaps stadium advertising boards with region-specific ads during live broadcasts. Because Doku was standing in front of the board while wearing a green kit, the system briefly malfunctioned, making it look like he disappeared.

March 11: Sheffield Wednesday Hit With 15-Point Deduction

Sheffield Wednesday F.C. will begin the 2026/27 season with a 15-point deduction following a takeover bid led by American businessman David Storch.

The penalty was issued because the £20 million offer would not allow unsecured creditors to recover at least 25% of the money owed to them. The situation worsens an already difficult period for the club, who had previously been relegated to EFL League One after an 18-point deduction this season.

March 10: Tottenham Keeper Subbed After Just 17 Minutes

It was a disastrous night for Tottenham Hotspur F.C. goalkeeper Antonín Kinský during their Champions League clash with Atlético Madrid.

The 22-year-old was handed a surprise start ahead of Guglielmo Vicario but conceded three goals within the opening 17 minutes, being partly responsible for two of them. Interim manager Igor Tudor quickly substituted him, though the problems continued as Atlético added another goal soon after.

Despite Pedro Porro pulling one back, the performance raised further questions about Tottenham’s struggles, with former manager Mauricio Pochettino watching from the stands.

March 9: Fan Unplugs VAR During German Match

A bizarre incident took place in Germany during a 2. Bundesliga game between Preußen Münster and Hertha BSC.

A masked supporter invaded the pitch and unplugged the VAR equipment, preventing referee Felix Bickel from reviewing a penalty decision. The act appeared to be a protest against the use of video technology, with a banner reading “Pull the plug on VAR” displayed in the stands.

Despite the disruption, the decision was eventually made by video referee Katrin Rafalski in the VAR control room.

March 8: Neymar Sued by Former Chef

Brazilian superstar Neymar is reportedly facing legal action from a former chef who claims she was forced to work extremely long hours at his mansion.

According to Brazilian outlet Metropoles, the chef says she was required to cook for more than 150 people daily and often worked until late at night, sometimes exceeding 16 hours per day.

She claims the workload caused serious health issues and is seeking compensation of around £37,000.

March 5: Hincapie’s Viral Response to Brighton Manager

Following Brighton & Hove Albion F.C.’s 1-0 defeat to Arsenal F.C., manager Fabian Hürzeler was caught on camera angrily telling Piero Hincapié to “play football.”

Hincapie responded by putting his finger to his lips, telling the Brighton boss to calm down — a moment that quickly went viral online, with Arsenal fans enjoying the exchange.

March 4: Paul Scholes Criticises Carrick After Man Utd Loss

Manchester United F.C. legend Paul Scholes publicly criticised interim manager Michael Carrick after a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United F.C..

Despite Newcastle playing much of the game with 10 men after Jacob Ramsey was sent off, they still managed to win thanks to a late goal from William Osula.

Scholes later posted a blunt message on Instagram suggesting United had been “crap” in their last four games, casting doubt on whether Carrick is the right man for the job long-term. ⚽
