SHE DID IT. Christelle de Franceschi has just broken the craziest world record of the year. Climbing mountains day and night without sleeping? No. Even more grueling: PLAYING THE ACCORDION NON-STOP. (translated)

OFFICIAL! UEFA REDUCES THE SANCTION OF MATTEO GUENDOUZI! It was originally a 4-match suspension (of which 2 were conditional). It is now reduced to a 3-match suspension (of which 2 are conditional upon a one-year probation period). He will therefore be able to play in the match against Aston Villa on October 14, after serving his fixed match against Roma. (translated)

🥺 HAMZA: A HUGE DREAM, AN UNBREAKABLE PATIENCE Hamza has joined the Egyptian national team with only four minutes played in La Liga, but his attitude since day one has always been exemplary. Never a bad gesture, always giving his all in training and waiting for his opportunity with great patience. This is not an easy situation for a young player who needs continuity and who has just played in a World Cup, but his dream of wearing the Barça jersey was so great that he promised himself to fight until the end to succeed under the blaugrana tunic. Hamza is someone shy, with a huge heart. He speaks very little, but his message is usually direct. Like the day of his extension when he did not hesitate to show that he was ready to go down with Barça Atlètic when Flick deemed it necessary. So, never expect bad behavior from him: we are talking about a very professional boy, who grew up in a family of sportspeople. I remember the first days when his transfer to Barça began to raise eyebrows. Barça had a serious interest, and at that time, one of the key players of Al Ahly, the Moroccan Bencharki, wrote to me directly to praise Abdelkarim: "Bro, he's a player with tremendous potential, very focused and mature. Take care of him, please." And the one who many now know by the nickname "Haaland of the Nile" has demonstrated this well. He arrived in Barcelona quietly, worked at maximum capacity, and finally took advantage of the preseason to integrate into the first team group. Hamza will continue to fight to reach his goal, and even if he encounters obstacles along the way, you will never see him sulk. (translated)

Tribune: Tribute to President Ousmane Sonko There are dates that mark a journey. Moments when we understand that something has just shifted in our perspective, in our convictions, in our relationship with the future. For me, September 16, 2018, is one of those dates. On that day, at the Place de la Nation, Ousmane Sonko was not just launching the book Solutions. He was opening up a space for reflection, debate, and hope. Through this book, he was not merely proposing a program: he was inviting Senegalese people to think differently about our country, our sovereignty, our relationship with the state, and our collective destiny. I discovered a stature, a presence, and a heartfelt speech. I saw boldness, innovation, but above all the rare courage of a politician willing to submit to questions, defend his ideas, take responsibility for his proposals, and carry a vision in a political arena too often reduced to slogans and empty promises. A year earlier, I had already followed his journey with interest. At home, I was teased by being called "the Sonkiste." But on September 16, 2018, I was convinced. Convinced that another political language was possible. Convinced that politics could rely on ideas, a vision, and a profound demand for truth. On May 26, 2026, from the rostrum of the National Assembly, @SonkoOfficiel extended this same consistency. In his investiture speech, he placed the debate where it should always be held: not merely around the conquest or exercise of power but around its profound meaning. "What is at stake transcends individuals. What is at stake is the relationship between morality and politics." This sentence brings us back to the essential: by what name do we govern? To serve what interests? And in the name of which values? Ethics must never be a mere ornament of discourse. It must be the compass of public action. Because when words lose their value, the state loses its meaning; and when the state loses its meaning, the people's trust begins to erode. Loyalty. Truth. Justice. Respect for the word given. The refusal to confuse the state with personal or clan interests. These are the principles that give a soul to political commitment and transform individual ambition into a collective project. Since 2018, challenges have been abundant. Yet, the course has remained the same: defend sovereignty, restore the dignity of the Senegalese people, and make politics a true instrument of transformation. The history of PASTEF already constitutes a case study in the political history of our country, and even beyond. It is the story of a movement driven by ideas, structured by work, nourished by sacrifice, and elevated by exceptional popular mobilization. There have been mistakes, oh yes. But PASTEF always rises. Like the leopard in our logo, it moves forward with strength, resilience, and determination. To my wounded patriotic brothers and sisters in their souls by the current political space, I want to say this: I remain convinced that what is at play today represents a necessary step in the construction of our country's future and our democracy. A step toward the definitive liberation of our leaders from any form of alienation. A step also toward the building of a Senegal where we can raise our children and look them in the eye. The people are watching, attentive. They remain the guarantors of our Republic. And, when the time comes, they will decide. Today, I want to pay a heartfelt tribute to President Ousmane Sonko. Tribute to a man of courage. Tribute to a man of convictions. Tribute to a man who has placed ethics, values, and the meaning of the struggle at the heart of political debate... (translated)

🔴 Lewis Hamilton criticizes F1's choice to reduce the number of laps in the race and to introduce a sprint race in Monaco next season! 😬 Regarding the Sprint weekend in Monaco: 💬 "A sprint race in Monaco makes absolutely no sense to me. To see the positive side, we will have an additional qualifying session, which is nice, but I’ve always said that Monaco needs something different. I don’t think we should adopt the same race format here as everywhere else. We need to find a specific idea for a place like this. It’s a beautiful location and an amazing circuit to drive, but the Sunday race is one of the most boring there is: a sprint race is not the solution." - @Automoto_it Regarding the reduction of laps in the race in 2027: 💬 "Shortening the races makes absolutely no sense to me. I think races should be longer, as they are less physically demanding than before. Many races are contested with a single pit stop: it’s not particularly taxing." - @Motorsport #F1 #AzerbaijanGP (translated)

Lewis Hamilton does not understand the FIA's decision to shorten the races! 😶‍🌫️ “Shortening races makes absolutely no sense to me. I think races should be longer, as they are physically easier than ever. Many races only require a single stop, and they are not particularly demanding.” (translated)
