New year, new club... same old Ramos.

Sergio Ramos, the veteran center-back now playing for Liga MX club Monterrey, has once again found himself at the center of controversy, this time for an incident during his team’s Clausura 2025 match against Pumas UNAM on Sunday night.

Ramos was sent off with a straight red card in stoppage time for kicking Pumas striker Guillermo Martínez after the ball had gone out of play. The incident appeared to be the typical "lashing out" from the Spanish defender, a trademark of his career when frustration boils over.

In an unforgettable moment in Liga MX, Atlas defender Matheus Dória produced a jaw-dropping, acrobatic scorpion kick that instantly evoked memories of Zlatan Ibrahimović's legendary goals and skills.

The Brazilian center-back scored one of the most stunning goals of the season in a match against Club Tijuana at Estadio Caliente, propelling his team to an extraordinary away 4-3 comeback victory on Sunday night.

History was made on Thursday in the Concacaf Champions Cup as Cavalry FC stunned Liga MX giants Pumas 2-1 in a first leg upset. No team from the Canadian Premier League (CPL) had ever defeated a Mexican club before.

In fact, no CPL club had ever won a Concacaf Champions Cup game prior to Thursday night.

Cavalry secured the victory 450 miles away from their usual home ground as the temperatures in Calgary were too cold to host the game. Instead the game was played in Langford, British Columbia.

It couldn't get better than this, América fans.

Club América is reportedly planning to stage a highly anticipated friendly against Real Madrid at the newly renovated Estadio Azteca in October 2025, according to ESPN. The match, scheduled to coincide with the club’s 109th anniversary on October 12, would see Mexican fans’ return to the stadium for the first time in over 18 months since winning their 15th league title in May, 2024.

Lionel Messi’s first 2025 preseason performance for Inter Miami against Club América in Las Vegas quickly became one of the most talked-about moments of the match—not just for his goal, but for a viral celebration that sent a clear message to the fans in the stands. Like we’ve never seen him before.

Former Mexico coach Miguel Herrera has been appointed as Costa Rica's head coach ahead of the 2026 World Cup, the country's soccer federation (FCRF) said in a statement.

The 56-year-old Herrera, a former defender who coached Mexico to the last 16 at the 2014 World Cup and a CONCACAF Gold Cup title in 2015, replaced Gustavo Alfaro who left in August to coach Paraguay.
