00:00Hello everyone, welcome to Mediain TV for Maxi-Sport, your sports news show.
00:20The Moroccan team will hold a press conference this Friday at the Mohamed 6 Football Complex in Salé.
00:27This is what the Royal Moroccan Football Federation said in a statement.
00:31This meeting with the media, scheduled to start at 11 am,
00:35will be dedicated to the presentation of the players selected by Degregui
00:39to dispute the two matches against the Nigerian and Tanzanian teams,
00:44respectively on the 21st and 25th of March,
00:48for the Zona Africa qualifiers for the World Cup 2026.
00:53These two meetings, including the group E,
00:56will take place at the Honour Complex in Oujda,
00:59at 9.30 pm, still Moroccan time.
01:06And also concerning the qualifications for the North American World Cup,
01:09Ivory Coast revealed its list yesterday for the two matches to come
01:13against Burundi and Gambia.
01:15And for these meetings, scheduled for the 21st and 24th of March,
01:19we can see the list of the Champions of Africa.
01:22In the title, the return of the Ivorian striker Sébastien Allaire,
01:25who is back on the rhythm of the side of Utrecht,
01:28where he made his return last winter,
01:30as a loan from Borussia Dortmund.
01:32As a reminder, the Elephants are leading Group F with 10 points,
01:36followed closely by Gabon, with one unit behind.
01:39And for the coach of the Elephants, Emers Faye,
01:42no calculations to be made, both meetings must be won.
01:45I'll let you listen to an excerpt from his press conference.
01:48It's not given to everyone to participate in a World Cup.
01:51Motivation will come naturally.
01:54If we, the staff, realize that the motivation is not there,
01:59we will know how to give it back to them quickly,
02:02before playing against Burundi.
02:04I think that all the players are already motivated individually
02:07to win their place, or for those who may have already won it,
02:12to maintain it, if they want to participate in the World Cup.
02:19But before these matches of selection football,
02:22tonight, all eyes will be on England
02:25for the clash that will oppose Liverpool at the Paris Saint-Germain.
02:28In the round of 16, the return of the Champions League.
02:31Last week, the match went down in favour of the Reds,
02:34with a score of 1-0.
02:36Liverpool now have the chance to reach the quarter-finals
02:39of the Coupe Aux Grandes Oreilles,
02:41for the first time since the 2021-2022 season.
02:44To do so, the Dutch coach Arne Slott
02:46has to deal with the injuries of Joe Gomez and Connor Bradley.
02:50For his part, the Paris Saint-Germain have no choice
02:53but to win the face-to-face with two different goals,
02:56to access directly to the rest of the competition.
02:59A win by one goal gives him only one extension.
03:02The stakes are therefore high for the Reds and Blues,
03:05as their last victory against Liverpool goes back to November 2018.
03:14I think after this game, the road is still long to the final.
03:17We already know which teams we can face.
03:20Dagobahor in the quarter-finals, Aston Villa or the Bruges Club,
03:23and then it will probably be Arsenal,
03:25Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid.
03:27These are all very good teams.
03:29But I agree with Louis-Henriquet
03:31to say that the Paris Saint-Germain,
03:33the three or four teams, and ourselves,
03:35have the means to reach the final.
03:37But since it's only two games,
03:39luck and bad luck can be so decisive.
03:41It's hard to say.
03:43But both teams are good enough to reach the final.
03:45Let's put it that way.
03:51Some people said we played poorly.
03:53I don't agree.
03:55I think they played very well.
03:57I don't think we've faced this season
03:59a team combining so much quality and intensity.
04:02But I think we can do better.
04:04I'm not saying we played badly
04:06or that we didn't play well at all.
04:08But we are a better team than last week.
04:10And that's something we have to prove tomorrow
04:13with the help of our fans.
04:16I don't think there is a single player
04:18in the team who is not impatient
04:20to play tomorrow at Anfield.
04:22We know it's a legendary stadium in Europe
04:24with a very dangerous history
04:26for the opposing teams.
04:28And that serves as motivation for us
04:30as a team and individually
04:32to show that we can play good football
04:34against a very good Liverpool
04:36on their pitch.
04:38That's our goal and our motivation.
04:44I've already explained to you
04:46why I never talk to the players
04:48after a game.
04:50We think it's not the ideal time
04:52to talk to the players
04:54because I can't do anything
04:56for the result of the game
04:58but after the game against Liverpool
05:00in Lallet, I decided to talk
05:02to the players because I wanted
05:04to cheer them up
05:06and tell them they did everything
05:08to get the result.
05:10We can always make exceptions
05:12and I think it was the right time.
05:20Finally, let's have a look
05:22at the Benfica-Lisbon pitch
05:24thanks to a goal by Rafinha.
05:26Benfica-Lisbon is now down to 10
05:28after Pau Koubarsi's expulsion.
05:30They had a good chance to qualify
05:32for the Champions League quarter-finals
05:34and this time, on their pitch
05:36at the Stade Olympique,
05:38the Camp Nou is still under construction
05:40and Robert Lewandowski's partners
05:42can finish the job in the round of 16.
05:44Against the Portuguese,
05:46who had eliminated A.S. Monaco
05:48in the previous round,
05:50the Catalan club should pay
05:52a vibrant tribute to their
05:54team-mate who forced them
05:56to play in the Champions League
05:58against Osasuna.
06:06It's a really great person
06:08but also a great doctor.
06:10And as I said,
06:12this duo of doctors
06:14from the club with Riccardo Pruna
06:16was incredible for the club
06:18and for the team.
06:20It was a big part of the puzzle
06:22but it was a big success
06:24because they do an excellent job.
06:26We will miss them
06:28but it's life.
06:30I think they will support us
06:32and the team too.
06:34We want to play
06:36and we want to play for them
06:38in this situation.
06:40It's very important
06:42that we win this match.
06:44The team is doing well
06:46in this situation
06:48and we are focused on this match
06:50because it's only the first match
06:52and I think Benfica
06:54is a very good transition team
06:56and we have to take this into account.
06:58That's what I said to the team.
07:02In the last round of the Champions League
07:04Bayern Munich had a good chance
07:06to qualify for the next round
07:08last week by beating
07:10Bayer Leverkusen 3-0.
07:12But this first win for the Bavarians
07:14against the Polish Xabi Alonso
07:16should wake them up.
07:18The German side lost
07:20their last match
07:22in the Bundesliga
07:24with 9 goals in total
07:26in the Champions League.
07:28The English striker Harry Kane
07:30hopes to put the hopes
07:32of Leverkusen on the Bayern side.
07:34And if Amine Edli's teammates
07:36didn't start well
07:38at the end of the match
07:40they often showed us
07:42that they were able
07:44to go as far as possible
07:46to qualify for the next round
07:48of the Champions League
07:50against Bayern Munich.
07:54And finally,
07:56the last round of the
07:58Champions League
08:00against Inter Milan
08:02and Feyenoord Rotterdam.
08:04Giuseppe Meazza
08:06had the chance to win
08:08against the Nerazzurri
08:10and beat them 2-0.
08:12He also had the chance
08:14to qualify for the next round
08:16of the Champions League
08:18against Inter Milan
08:20and beat them 2-0.
08:22And if Amine Edli's teammates
08:24didn't start well
08:26at the end of the match
08:28they often showed us
08:30that they were able
08:32to go as far as possible
08:34to qualify for the next round
08:36of the Champions League
08:38against Inter Milan
08:40and beat them 2-0.
08:42A little piece of tennis.
08:44The Spanish double
08:46Carlos Alcalaz
08:48didn't give any chance
08:50to the Canadiens.
08:52Dani Chapovalov won
08:546-2, 6-4,
08:56in 1 hour and 24 minutes
08:58in the third round
09:00of the Masters Mill
09:02of Indian Wells.
09:04He was the number 3
09:06and the number 1
09:08after the elimination
09:10of Amine Edli.
09:125-0.
09:14He got a 7
09:16before a slight relegation
09:18with 2 games conceded
09:20concluding the 2nd set
09:22by 6-2.
09:24Alcalaz didn't lose
09:26his service and
09:28made the spectators
09:30enjoy some spectacular
09:32shots.
09:34He is the winner
09:36in Grand Slam
09:387-6, 4-6,
09:407-6.
09:46And for the women,
09:48the number 1
09:50Arina Sabalenka
09:52easily dominated the Italian
09:54Lucia Bronzetti
09:56in 2-7,
09:586-1, 6-2
10:00for the third round
10:02of the WTA Mill
10:04of Indian Wells.
10:06And for the British,
10:08Sona Ekhartal,
10:10the 3rd player in the table
10:12for a forfeit
10:14who managed to beat
10:16Polina Kudermetova
10:18in 2-7,
10:205-6, 3-3.
10:26And for the Belgian,
10:28it's time for the Orange Ball
10:30and the NBA.
10:32In the 120-118 victory
10:34it was a great performance
10:36to give the win to the Grizzlies.
10:38We had to wait for the last moments
10:40of the match to see Memphis
10:42take the win at Phoenix
10:44with a 29-pointer
10:46at a nice address of 9-13.
10:48Less on the 3-pointers
10:50with 1-5 but a perfect 10-10
10:52on the free throw and 12 decisive passes
10:54in 34 minutes of play
10:56between 6 other Memphis players
10:58scoring at least 10 points
11:00allowing them to go up
11:02to the top of the table.
11:32There are still between
11:3416 and 17 regular season matches
11:36to reverse the trend.
11:44We end this edition with cycling
11:46with the rest of the famous race
11:48of Paris-Nice and a new win
11:50for Team Merlier
11:52from Sudal Quickstep
11:54at the end of a massive sprint
11:56in Belgarde.
11:58The Belgian runner in front of
12:00Arnaud Desmars
12:02finally outclassed
12:04Matt Petersen
12:06of Lidl Trek.
12:08The sprinter scored a second
12:10consecutive victory
12:12on this Paris-Nice,
12:14his third on his race
12:16in the sun
12:18and his 56th in career.
12:20This stage was animated
12:22by a long escape
12:24of the three men
12:26including the weight
12:28of Arnaud Desmars
12:30who was trapped
12:32in the last straight
12:34when he was well placed
