Infantino once said that if supporters can't access a World Cup host country, there will be no World Cup. This week, Trump banned travel to the US from 12 countries, including one already qualified for the 2026 World Cup. What will FIFA do? This weekend's Morning Star column.

If you're a #mancity fan like me looking for some source of optimism before tonight's game, remember that we've played Madrid 7 times in the #UCL since 2022, and they have only beaten us twice in normal time.
If we go all the way back to 2020, we've won 4/9 to their 2/9 with the rest being drawn
