Happy Birthday, Danel! 🥳 Lass dich ordentlich feiern heute! 🎂 #fcsp

Luxembourg showdown in the Bundesliga‼️ Tiago Pereira is in goal for Borussia Mönchengladbach today, against Danel Sinani's St Pauli! Personally, I wouldn't mind a 0-0 draw - another Tiago clean sheet and a crucial point for St Pauli 🙏🤞

My latest article dropped on 1 April, but that doesn't make it any less serious 👇 🔹 Mondorf inflicts first defeat on Bensi's UNA 🔸El Idrissi, 🇱🇺's best super-sub 🔹RFCUL, a work in progress 🥴 And more below, on RTL Today! today.rtl.lu/sport/local/...

‼️ BGL Ligue might abolish relegation this season, "depending on Fola Esch's final position." According to FLF president Paul Philipp, "the league needs a strong Fola. We always aim to help clubs in need and we believe this will benefit everyone." I like this rule! Thoughts? 🤷‍♂️

Trip to Luxembourg last weekend - 30hrs of walking, one night spent homeless - I'd do it again in a heartbeat! Visited 7 stadiums, 2 training pitches and the one and only Roberto Firmino! See you all in 🇱🇺 again for the cup final?! 🫣

Last week saw 16-year-old Brian Madjo introduced to the national team. Below, I'm looking at all the other talents knocking on the door of the senior selection in the coming years, across all positions. Read about all the next big things below 👇 today.rtl.lu/sport/local/...

Progrès Niederkorn officially announced the signature of 97-cap Luxembourg international Lars Gerson! The centre-back left Norwegian side Kongsvinger for the Wasps. Happy 35th birthday and good luck at Progrès, Lars! 🐝🎂

This is crazy! Fede Varela joins Differdange after 🔹53 games in LaLiga2 🔸12 games in Liga Portugal 🔹7 games in Süper Lig 🔸3 games in the Europa Conference League A 28-year old Portuguese champion and Bulgarian cup winner. Not a bad CV! (P.s.: does that foreshadow Trani leaving?

Deadline Day Breaking - Kai Merk leaves Union Titus Pétange to join F91! Despite offers from abroad in recent years, UTP's Kyrgyzstan international attacker chose to join Mika Pinto's project in the Grand Duchy!

"it was always my dream to play in L̶u̶x̶e̶m̶b̶o̶u̶r̶g̶ F̶r̶a̶n̶c̶e̶ N̶e̶t̶h̶e̶r̶l̶a̶n̶d̶s̶ M̶o̶l̶d̶o̶v̶a̶ J̶a̶p̶a̶n̶ U̶k̶r̶a̶i̶n̶e̶ T̶ür̶k̶i̶y̶e̶ S̶a̶u̶d̶i̶ A̶r̶a̶b̶i̶a̶ S̶l̶o̶v̶a̶k̶i̶a̶ C̶h̶i̶n̶a̶ Portugal" - Gerson Rodrigues at his AVS unveiling

Swift Hesper have seen 6 players sold and 1 suspended by the FA this month amidst ongoing financial issues and withheld payments. The manager's resignation was also rejected, and no arrivals have been announced. Today, they lost 4-0 to Union in a friendly 😵‍💫

Danel Sinani: 90+2' subbed on 90+3' GOAL! It's Sinani's second Bundesliga goal contribution after an assist against Leverkusen! What a cameo! Congrats Danel and St Pauli 🤎🟥

March international window friendly games: 🇱🇺 Luxembourg - Sweden 🇸🇪 22/03 🇨🇭 Switzerland - Luxembourg 🇱🇺 25/03 Not a lot of chance at either game but at least we'll see some big names, I suppose...

Congratulations to Leandro Barreiro on winning the Portuguese League Cup with Benfica! The midfielder was subbed on in the final against Sporting, and scored his penalty in the shootout victory after a 1-1 draw following the first 120 minutes.

Ermmm... Looking forward to meeting these new users, some of whom bear a striking resemblance 😵‍💫 One of the biggest turn-offs about Twitter is it's uncoordinated bot activity en masse. I can only hope it's not carrying over here.

Yvandro is back in action for Borussia Mönchengladbach after more than 9 months on the sidelines with several injuries 🥲 Hopefully just a matter of time before he's getting regular game time again, either at Borussia or elsewhere 🙏

Leandro Barreiro recorded his first assist in a Benfica shirt since joining the club in the summer! Unfortunately it wasn't enough as Benfica lost 2-1 to Braga. They will face the same opponent in the League Cup semi-final next week.

it's never too late to make some New Year predictions: 1) WC qualifiers top2 👀 2) FCD's title defence will go down to the last game 3) d'Anzico starts next season abroad for a pro team 4) Gerson R makes his last national team appearance 5) FCD lose the last playoff game for Europe What are yours? 🧐

Confirmed: Marvin Martins signs for Almere City! The Luxembourg defender leaves Austria Wien after falling victim of a foreigner limit(!) in the 🇦🇹 Bundesliga 🥴 All the best in Almere, Marvin! Veel succes 🎉

With 2024 behind us, I reflected on the past 12 months and how the games ahead of us can decide the future of the national team and Luc Holtz, too. Some words about the positives and the glaring problems, in English, on RTL Today, by me 👇 today.rtl.lu/sport/local/...

Really happy to have been here for another year despite some adversity thrown my way. Glad to have continued the blog - don't worry folks, I'm not that easy to get rid of 🤣 Wishing everyone an easier 2025, with even more fun than what 2024 brought 🫶🎉 Enjoy your New Years Eve!

It's been an eventful year with plenty of positives and negatives - here we take a look at some of the biggest winners and losers of 2024! Let's start! 🧵

We end 2024 with a bang: F91 sacked Marco Martino! Although the team are sitting in second place after the first half of the year, Martino's vision and squad selection didn't align with the board's expectations. Congrats Marco on the overachievement and best of luck in the future!

Wishing everyone here who celebrates a wonderful, joyous Christmas. Make sure to spend quality time with your loved ones. Always feel free to reach out if you feel alone in what is a tough period for many of us out here. 🎄🫂

Guillaume Trani, last season's MVP in the league, has also received offers from abroad, with his contract up in June. Losing their two most dangerous attackers mid-season could have huge consequences for FCD, who had been coasting to a title defence - until now.

It is finally official: Differdange lose their crown jewel. Jorginho signs for Kairat Almaty. 51 games, 45 goals and 10 assists, after signing from the Portuguese 4th tier! Congratulations on the professional contract and good luck in Kazakhstan Jorginho! 🎉

I had a 0% belief before the draw. It's still below 50% now, but we could've gotten harder groups. Before anyone comes at me: we're expected to be last, and I don't think we'll qualify. However, we have way more than a mathematical chance.

Group A for WC 2026 Qualifying: Germany/Italy Slovakia Northern Ireland LUXEMBOURG 🦁 Quite a boring outcome, two very familiar opponents. The way we're doing, we can't see us qualify, but we've held both SVK & NIR to draws recently so snatching a 2nd place can be possible!

So what *actually* happened at the replays yesterday? 🔹Hostert won a 7-goal carnage vs Rodange 🔸Fola lost the Escher derby from a 2-goal lead 🔹Hesper held out for a draw fielding a mixture of seniors and amateurs! Read more in English on RTL Today 👇 today.rtl.lu/sport/local/...
