Cristiano Ronaldo says he's almost certain he will not be playing at the Club World Cup, dealing a blow to FIFA president Gianni Infantino’s hopes of having one of soccer’s biggest attractions at the tournament.

While Cristiano Ronaldo and Lamine Yamal headline the Nations League final, the real story runs deeper — a battle of two evolving teams, full of talent, energy, and ambition, ready to shape Europe's next football chapter.
