before he calmly slotted home Luis Enrique was full of praise for Strasbourg and Liam Rosenior after they inflicted a second defeat of the season in Ligue on PSG After Les Parisiens made 10 changes ahead of their second leg against Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals on Wednesday the Alsatian outfit seized advantage in the hunt for UEFA’s premier club competition with a 2-1 victory Strasbourg secured all three points thanks to a Lucas Hernandez own goal and a winner from Félix Lemaréchal before half-time The fortunes of the Racing club have dramatically improved since the arrival of the former Hull City boss Rosenior has instilled an attractive playing style at the BlueCo-owned club and this has seen them emerge as unlikely challengers for Champions League football this term Strasbourg now sit in 5th place in Ligue 1 This impressive form displayed by Rosenior’s side in 2025 has seen them receive lofty praise including that from Luis Enrique “It’s a team that plays football very well mobility and a very accomplished technique They work very hard and are difficult to beat.” GFFN | Liam Wraith Doug Paulley and Kevin Jordan say their lives being ruined and lack of effective strategy infringes their human rights Two men who say they are being failed by the UK’s flawed response to climate breakdown are taking their case to Europe’s top human rights court Doug Paulley and Kevin Jordan say their lives have been ruined by the rising temperatures and extreme weather caused by the climate crisis and that the government’s response fails to respect their human rights UK courts have so far rejected their efforts at forcing the government to rethink its approach and so they are taking their case to the European court of human rights (ECHR) where they will try to convince judges that their fundamental rights are being violated who has multiple disabilities exacerbated by rising temperatures whose seaside home was demolished after severe storms and rising sea level put it at risk of being washed away say the UK’s approach to the changing climate is flawed the UK’s third national adaptation programme (Nap3) sets out the government’s climate adaptation objectives along with its plans and policies for protecting communities in the UK from the impacts of climate change such as extreme heat Paulley and Jordan, along with Friends of the Earth argue that it fails to consider the impact of climate change on marginalised groups set out lawful “adaptation objectives” or adequately assess risks to the delivery of its plans the court of appeal refused their application to challenge the ruling they will argue that the UK is out of compliance with human rights requirements in how it currently plans for and implements climate adaptation under the Climate Change Act land and infrastructure against extreme weather to be inadequate in the face of the increasingly severe flooding droughts and heatwaves now affecting the country Paulley said: “I’m very hopeful that the ECHR will now take up this important case who are disproportionately threatened by the impacts of climate change have been badly let down by this weak and ineffective adaptation programme.” Jordan said: “Millions of homes across the country are already under threat from the impacts of climate change and without an adaptation plan that’s fit for purpose many “I know what it’s like to lose your home to climate change and will continue to campaign for a vastly improved set of adaptation policies that offers proper protection to our lives and communities.” Food and

season Here's a look back at a game whose outcome could have been more favourable for the Rouge et Bleu Paris Saint-Germain returned to Ligue 1 action on Saturday afternoon a few days after their victory over Arsenal in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals The capital club faced another perilous trip to the heat of the Stade de la Meinau against a Strasbourg side fighting for European qualification With the second leg against Arsenal looming Luis Enrique opted to field a reshuffled line-up with Axel Tape making his Ligue 1 debut in central defence The young Titi formed an unprecedented partnership with Lucas Beraldo in front of the goal guarded by Matveï Safonov while Lucas Hernandez and Warren Zaïre-Emery the Spanish coach decided to keep Joao Neves Ibrahim Mbaye took his place on the right side with Bradley Barcola on the opposite flank Despite the back-to-back games and the atmosphere at the Meinau it didn't take long for our Rouge et Bleu to take the game by the scruff of the neck Following a fine link up between Bradley Barcola and Lee Kang-In Gonçalo Ramos could only get his shoulder to the South Korean's cross The first glimmer of hope came in the next minute who had been particularly lively in the early stages of the game Totally suffocated in the first quarter of an hour the Alsatians had their first corner following an initial attempt that was blocked by Axel Tape The set-piece smiled favourably on Strasbourg who managed to open the scoring against the run of play after Lucas Hernandez deflected the ball into his own net following Sarr's diving header (1-0 The first goal was all that was needed to kick-start this duel between two of the most skilful teams in the top flight increased the intensity of their play and came ever closer to Matveï Safonov's goal the keeper won his first one-on-one with Emegha Gonçalo Ramos with a shot from a tight angle Looking to reset the balance before the break leaving several opportunities for the Alsatians to counter-attack Emegha was sent clear and once again found himself up against Safonov but the Rouge et Bleu goalkeeper was alert to save at the Dutchman's feet Just as the capital club were finishing the first half well Diarra played the ball down the right and found Félix Lemaréchal in the middle who volleyed past Safonov from outside the area (2-0 Luis Enrique made his first changes immediately after the restart while Noham Kamara made his professional debut These changes made an immediate difference as the club from the capital managed to reduce the deficit from the outset following a fantastic solo run by Bradley Barcola who raced up half of the pitch on his left flank before firing past Petrovic (2-1 the Parisians stepped up their attack on the Alsatian goal Mbaye and Barcola came up against Strasbourg's rigid defence Fabian Ruiz came on for Joao Neves on the hour mark The Spanish international immediately showed his desire to make a difference by unleashing a clear shot from a tight angle Paris took more and more control of the ball Désiré Doué was omnipresent at the end of the game and twice tried his luck but lacked the accuracy to trouble the Alsatian keeper Even the Titis were doing themselves proud in the closing minutes the Parisian midfielder showed great inspiration to try his luck Despite the back-to-back games and the fatigue of a second away trip in the space of a few days the capital club showed relentless fighting spirit to try and equalise was elusive on the left flank and sent in a pinpoint cross for Gonçalo Ramos whose header was unfortunately unable to find the back of the net Petrovic pulled off a series of miraculous saves to deny Mbaye Paris came up short against a solid Strasbourg side All eyes now turn to the UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg against Arsenal Winners by a narrow margin in London a few days ago our Rouge et Bleu have a date with destiny on Wednesday at the Parc des Princes Luis

approaches from Premier League clubs to commit to the Ligue 1 side Under the leadership of president Marc Keller in collaboration with ownership group BlueCo — who also own Premier League side Chelsea — Strasbourg are on course for an historic season by challenging for European qualification They are currently seventh in Ligue 1 — which could get them there — with only four rounds of fixtures remaining Strasbourg have done that only once since 2005 yet even then (2019-20) they fell short of making the Europa League group stage after losing a play-off to Eintracht Frankfurt Strasbourg have the youngest squad in Ligue 1 with an average starting age of 21.4 years and are among the youngest squads in European football history.’ Rosenior, 40, was sacked as Hull City head coach in May 2024 despite being nominated for Championship manager of the 2023-24 season along with Kieran McKenna and Daniel Farke Rosenior started his managerial career at Derby County having been appointed as

justice and the rule of law is being overlooked are cycling 1,300 kilometers (780 miles) toward the heart of the European Union to seek support chilly rain to a noisy farewell from Novi Sad a northern Serbian city some 90 kilometers from the capital Belgrade it will be tough and we will have a hard time but I think it will be worth it,” said Ivan Poturica “We expect someone to finally react to the situation in Serbia.” The students will cycle about 100-150 kilometers (60-90 miles) per day Austria and Germany before reaching France they plan to stay with the Serbs living abroad and fellow-students from the EU The journey will show “the students’ persistence and determination” and “make our voice heard throughout the world,” they said “I think our ideas and demands that we are taking to Strasbourg are realistic,” said medical student Bogan Jelaca Vucic and pro-government media have accused the students and their professors of working against the state and student protesters have been attacked on numerous occasions The EU’s reaction to the protests has been lukewarm and officials have refrained from criticizing Vucic “We call on all the stakeholders to refrain from

Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said on X after a recent meeting with Vucic the students plan to visit the Council of Europe and the European Parliament AP writer Lorne Cook contributed to this report from Brussels BlueCo become the shareholder of Strasbourg in June 2023 a French region close to the German border has galvanised the France-Germany identity even further over the last 16 years But now the club is engulfed in bitter civil war who climbed back to the top flight from the amateur fifth tier built a strong fan-centric culture with former France international Marc Keller as president the one-time French champions were bought by BlueCo a consortium headed by American businessman Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali and became part of a multi-club ownership portfolio alongside Chelsea It was seen as betrayal by Keller in the eyes of many with ultras and supporters' groups organising protests at every game Strasbourg have the youngest average age in Ligue 1 this season at 21.3 years After bottom-half finishes in three of their past four seasons since promotion from Ligue 2 they are dreaming of Europe under former Hull City boss Liam Rosenior But despite this being their strongest era in a generation it hasn't been worth what some supporters believe is a loss of identity "Strasbourg doesn't exist from the sporting point of view We are just Chelsea B team," Strasbourg Supporters' Club member Alexandre Hummel tells BBC Sport "I don't get why they would buy Strasbourg "Strasbourg is the only professional club in Alsace There is a strong connection to the local identity we fought for our club and the Alsatian roots we have beaten every attendance record in the fifth You would regularly see crowds of 10,000 or 20,000." An £11.9m deal to take defender Mamadou Sarr to Stamford Bridge has been agreed for July and Hummel says he expects such transfers to become a regular occurrence "It has been slow to emerge but for me it was clear from the beginning," he adds "They use Strasbourg so they can buy a player earlier than they would have otherwise and they pay a lower transfer fee Keller was saying we'd be two different entities It has been clear for 18 months that this is not the case." goalkeeper Djorde Petrovic and winger Andrey Santos - on loan from Chelsea - have become crucial members of Rosenior's squad this season with 20-year-old Brazilian Santos reaching nine goal involvements in 24 Ligue 1 games Strasbourg banked £3.4m profit having only signed Mamadou Sarr from Lyon for £8.5m in August 2024 French football expert Jonathan Johnson believes the stature of Strasbourg always gave BlueCo an uphill battle for acceptance "Strasbourg fans are hurt as BlueCo identified them as a solid club with potential to nurture quality players and occasionally compete in Europe without being frontrunners for in Ligue 1 or Champions League regulars," he said "I can see why BlueCo acquired Strasbourg looking at some of the other clubs that were available then it was always going to be tricky for a foreign investment group to succeed with the club clearly not the multi-club operation's focal point "I believe that an absence of strong and clear communication created enough doubt to foster this hostility from Strasbourg's fans towards BlueCo." A lot of frustration and anger is directed at Keller who is accused of selling out by sections of the fanbase but the split among the fans has created a toxic - even violent - atmosphere on matchdays the ultras and supporters' groups don't sing in protest against BlueCo," says Hummel "Keller said clearly he wasn't going to interfere with the protests it is the icing on the cake of all the lies "There is a big row between the ultras and the rest of the stadium Protesters have been harassed online and the leader of the ultras had to avoid a glass bottle that was thrown at him "It is difficult to know if we should be happy when the team wins It is difficult for us to work with someone who we trusted to build the club back from the fifth tier and for him now to be working with the shareholders." Strasbourg fans protested against BlueCo's ownership in May 2024 Johnson says although Strasbourg fans may not like it they have to accept the positive impact BlueCo has had on the club financially during difficult times for Ligue 1 The league's TV rights have shrunk twice in the past five years "Objectivity is needed," he asserts more vibrant and plays attractive football - the club is moving in a positive direction Strasbourg could have been in major financial trouble last summer without BlueCo during France's latest TV rights debacle." saying: "The economic problem in French football is very real - BlueCo is just a bad solution "We are not in debt to a bank but we are in debt to BlueCo I would rather be in the fifth tier with our destiny in our hands manager Rosenior said his footballing philosophy aligns with what BlueCo want to achieve "Strasbourg is a club that has had a takeover from BlueCo and I know the technical directors Paul [Winstanley] and Laurence [Stewart] there," he said "They're great guys and aligned with what I believe in which is a style of football and the development of players and winning games in a style that I believe in "I think that's why they spoke to me I spoke to Marc Keller who's the president here and Marc has a great knowledge of the English game "He played for some top clubs including West Ham which again I have a link with through my dad so everything felt right with the people I spoke to and I took the plunge Forward Andrey Santos has scored nine goals in Ligue 1 this season for Strasbourg Multi-club ownership is becoming more common in modern football Johnson believes has its place but understands fan frustrations "I do think that it can work with select clubs," he says "There are financial benefits but the project's narrative not being tightly controlled from day one creates a crisis of identity "No fan views their club as secondary in any project and a stand-alone approach is more palatable "Some French clubs have historically relied on wealthy stable benefactors and being in a modern multi-club operation could keep them relatively competitive and secure." the war between sporting success and local pride and community shows no sign of ending Strasbourg were invited to comment on this story but did not respond Listen to the latest Football Daily podcast Trailblazer Zhao set to take snooker to 'another level' in China Alexander-Arnold leaves as modern Liverpool great - but fans will feel hurt Alpine poised to replace Doohan with Colapinto The final series of Man Like Mobeen has arrived John Simm stars in the provocative 90s drama Warm-hearted comedy with Ben Miller and Sally Phillips Follow two ambitious river restoration projects Who has made Troy's Premier League team of the week Zhao beats Williams in historic final - highlights VideoZhao beats Williams in historic final - highlights 'Scheffler and DeChambeau wins further raise US PGA excitement levels' Match-fixing scandal to Crucible champion - fall and rise of Zhao 'We need to take a look at ourselves' - Arsenal stalling at wrong time Palmer's brilliance could be key moment in Chelsea's Champions League quest Europa League 'papering over cracks' for Man Utd - Rooney VideoEuropa League 'papering over cracks' for Man Utd - Rooney Ask Me Anything the new BBC Sport service designed to serve you Bayern's 'James Bond' - how Kane clinched his first trophy Nine bolters with a shot of making the Lions squad How 'absolutely outstanding' Palmer 'destroyed' Liverpool VideoHow 'absolutely outstanding' Palmer 'destroyed' Liverpool Still number one & 'sparring' with Draper - return of Sinner Saints 'punch' favourites Leinster in game for the ages VideoVardy the best £1m ever spent - Shearer Poppy's tears Elton John & Happy Gilmore - McIlroy on Jimmy Fallon show Two opposing views on football's transgender ban Copyright © 2025 BBC.

Champions of Ligue 1 with plenty of time to spare, PSG took to the field at the weekend and saw their second consecutive league defeat, this time to Strasbourg, who beat the Parisians 2-1 on the eve of their crucial UEFA Champions League semi-final against Arsenal at the Parc des Princes Coach Luis Enrique had made it clear that he wanted to keep his team competitive even if he kept the main players out of the squad but maintaining the ideas of pressing without the ball and a lot of intensity in pursuit of the attack PSG controlled possession and tried to dominate Using a lot of speed down the flanks and efficient finishing Strasbourg relied on a defensive blunder in the 20th minute when Lucas Hernández scored an own goal from a corner kick to open the scoring it was a direct reflection of the attitude of a team fighting for a place in the next Champions League as they reduced their intensity and began to balance possession more taking greater care before advancing up the pitch Strasbourg kept their lines down and increased the lead thanks to the great efficiency of Félix Lemarcéchal who took a shot from outside the area and hit the angle Luis Enrique came back for the second half noticeably irritated and this time PSG showed considerable intensity including bringing on some of the starters Barcola made a good run with Gonçalo Ramos down the left and hit a cross to score giving PSG back the confidence they needed to create a number of chances Doué and Gonçalo Ramos were mainly responsible for PSG's offensive creation but their chances were not enough on a night that was greatly inspired by a coordinated and compact Strasbourg defense Speed up front and impressive solidity at the back; maybe that's what Arsenal need this week © 2025 Minute Media - All Rights Reserved The content on this site is for entertainment and educational purposes only Betting and gambling content is intended for individuals 21+ and is based on individual commentators' opinions and not that of Minute Media or its affiliates and related brands All picks and predictions are suggestions only and not a guarantee of success or profit If you or someone you know has a gambling problem crisis counseling and referral services can be accessed by calling 1-800-GAMBLER Arsenal were beaten this weekend in the Premier League but PSG also left the field with a disappointing result The Internationaux de Strasbourg is an important stop on the road to Roland Garros It serves as the final warm-up tournament before the clay-court Grand Slam in Paris and will run in the same week as the WTA tournament in Rabat This will be the second edition of Strasbourg as a WTA 500-level tournament Madison Keys defeated Danielle Collins in an all-American final Although Keys won’t make the trip to defend her crown But who are the other top players set to join her in the field The top-ranked player in the draw will be Emma Navarro.

STRASBOURG, France (AP) — With its focus already on Arsenal, a revamped and young Paris Saint-Germain suffered a second straight Ligue 1 loss on Saturday Champion PSG lost at Strasbourg 2-1. With the match coming between the two legs of the Champions League semifinal against Arsenal, PSG coach Luis Enrique rotated his team. Only Joao Neves was retained in the starting XI PSG started with four players born in 2006 or later: Warren Zaire-Emery, Senny Mayulu, Axel Tape and Ibrahim Mbaye they showed what they’re capable of," Enrique said "We played a very good match but didn’t get the result we wanted Now we need to recover and concentrate on Wednesday’s game.” Star striker Ousmane Dembele, who picked up a light hamstring injury in the 1-0 win in London, was rested ahead of next week's game against the Gunners at the Parc des Princes. Bradley Barcola, Mbaye and Goncalo Ramos started up front Strasbourg took the lead from a corner. Mamadou Sarr’s glanced header was clumsily diverted in by PSG defender Lucas Hernandez It was Strasbourg’s ninth goal from a corner PSG was punished again just before halftime when Felix Lemarechal curled in a superb strike from outside the box went on a 50-meter run into the area and finished the impressive solo effort from close range with remarkable composure Strasbourg has collected more points since the start of the year — 40 — than PSG PSG's bid to go unbeaten in Ligue 1 was ruined last month when it lost to Nice 3-1 Monaco striker Folarin Balogun scored his first Ligue 1 goal this year following shoulder surgery as struggling Saint-Etienne was beaten 3-1 The U.S. forward was picked by Maghnes Akliouche and beat the offside trap to seal Monaco's win from the edge of the box Akliouche put Monaco ahead after just two minutes. Zuriko Davitashvili leveled for Saint-Etienne in the second half which has one match in hand and plays at Lille on Sunday Balogun returned to competition in March after undergoing surgery in December on his dislocated shoulder The forward had previously been sidelined for about two months and returned to competition at the end of November But he took a hit during a game against Marseille that aggravated the problem Goals from Yann Gboho and Aron Donnum helped Toulouse to its first home win since mid-December Toulouse defeated Rennes 2-1 to end a seven-match winless streak and moved level on points with its 11th-placed rival and tonight we gave them something back,” Toulouse coach Carles Martínez Novell said Rennes forward Arnaud Kalimuendo scored his 15th goal of the season.

Paris Saint-Germain side on Saturday just days before the Parisians host Arsenal in the return leg of their European semi-final PSG boss Luis Enrique made 10 changes from the team that secured a 1-0 away win over the Gunners midweek fielding a youthful and inexperienced line-up at Stade de la Meinau Only Portuguese midfielder João Neves retained his place in the starting XI The visitors fell behind in the 20th minute when a corner from Mamadou Sarr was inadvertently turned into his net by Lucas Hernandez Strasbourg doubled their lead in first-half stoppage time with a superb strike from Felix Lemarechal who fired into the top corner after being set up by Habib Diarra Although Bradley Barcola pulled one back for PSG less than a minute into the second half charging from his half before finishing clinically extending their unbeaten run to 12 matches The result lifts Liam Rosenior’s side to fourth place in Ligue 1 as they continue their surprise push for a Champions League place They now sit just one point behind second-placed Marseille and level on goal difference with third-placed Nice Luis Enrique handed debuts and rare starts to several young players including 17-year-olds Axel Tape and Ibrahim Mbaye and later introduced 18-year-old Noham Kamara for his top-flight debut at halftime PSG’s top scorer with 33 goals in all competitions was absent following an injury sustained against Arsenal and remains a doubt for Wednesday’s crucial return leg in Paris Despite having already sealed the Ligue 1 title PSG have now suffered consecutive domestic defeats their first losses in the league this season who have not featured in Europe’s top competition since the 1979/80 season and Lyon all close behind ahead of their weekend fixtures a former close associate of Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and a notable… Strasbourg Dreaming of the Champions League While PSG Keep Their Eyes on ArsenalDefeated by Nice (1-3) just before facing Arsenal in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals Strasbourg repeated the script and pulled off a 2-1 win over PSG just days ahead of the second leg that Luis Enrique’s side will play against the English club Fully focused on the most important match of the season — a game that could lead to the Champions League final — PSG’s coach chose not to risk any of his key players fielding a starting XI that included just one name from the team that won 1-0 in London: Joao Neves The rest of the squad that helped PSG reach the verge of the Champions League final was rested ruled out due to a hamstring strain in his right thigh and Mendes were not even included in the matchday squad and Kvaratskhelia waited on the bench in case things got out of hand against a team with everything to play for But Strasbourg wasn’t in the mood for jokes or mercy They put out their strongest lineup for one simple reason: they needed to hand PSG their second defeat of the season to stay in the race for one of the three Champions League spots available With the Ligue 1 title already secured weeks ago PSG stepped onto the pitch at Stade de la Meinau with their fringe players motivated to impress Luis Enrique and earn a spot in the all-important XI that will look to finish the job against Arsenal wasn’t enough to match Strasbourg’s intensity who quickly found reward for their efforts thanks to an own goal by Lucas Hernández in the 20th minute Only Lee Kang-In and Mbaye managed shots on Petrovic and Luis Enrique’s men seemed content to wait until after halftime to shift the momentum Lemaréchal struck from outside the box with a shot that Safonov couldn’t stop Barcola created a brilliant play down the wing and finished from inside the box to threaten Strasbourg’s lead with PSG’s best chances coming late in the match The visitors struggled against a well-organized web set up by a team that only looked in danger briefly through a couple of moments from Doué Lemaréchal could’ve made it 3-1 with a header that barely missed — as Strasbourg keeps dreaming big as they fight to qualify for only their second-ever appearance in Europe’s top competition Strasbourg last played in the European Cup in 1979/80 where they were eliminated by Ajax in the quarterfinals level on points with Nice (third) and just one point behind Marseille (second) Lille (fifth) and Monaco (sixth) are chasing hard but Strasbourg’s victory — and PSG’s distracted defeat — may have put them in pole position for a historic finish One player to get a chance from the start was Goncalo Ramos who should have put the visitors ahead after just three minutes when he glanced his header narrowly wide That miss proved costly as Strasbourg took the lead when Lucas Hernandez unluckily sliced into his own net from a corner Ramos was then denied by Dorde Petrovic from close range before the hosts grabbed a brilliant second goal in added time at the end of the first half Habib Diarra laid off to Felix Lemarechal on the edge of the box Match statsFlashscorePSG halved the deficit immediately in the second half though, as Bradley Barcola produced some individual magic to dribble his way into the box and coolly slot past Petrovic The goalkeeper then had to be alert to parry Fabian Ruiz’s cross-come-shot away as the champions pushed for an equaliser PSG did not have their shooting boots on though as a couple of late efforts went wayward meaning they are now winless in three league matches and have lost their unbeaten away record Strasbourg will be delighted with victory that puts them in a great position to qualify for
