Niclas Füllkrug could make his first Borussia Dortmund start in their opening UEFA Champions League group encounter with Kylian Mbappe s Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday (kick-off: 9pm CEST).
The pair were on hand to support husband, father, and club co-owner David Beckham as he watched his team demolish local rivals Orlando City 3-1 in the Leagues Cup.
Fans hoping to watch major French stars like Victor Wembanyama and Kylian Mbappé play at next year's Paris Olympics could drive up demand when more tickets go on sale Wednesday for four sports that will be staged far from the French capital. Fans worldwide will be able to buy tickets on a first-come, first-served basis for soccer, basketball, handball and sailing, which are all held regional venues at next year's Summer Games. The prospect for French fans to watch wildly popular home favorites such as Wembanyama and Mbappé is sure to boost sales even though the Paris Olympics’ reputation has taken a hit from an ongoing investigation by prosecutors in the city about how contracts have been awarded.
