00:00Welcome everyone to Maxi-Sport, right away the sports news of this Thursday.
00:19The Raja of Casablanca and the Eifar continue their training, since the two Moroccan clubs, among the most titled, are playing a quarter-final qualification of the Champions League in the framework of the fifth day on the lawn of the Stade d'Odeur de Meknes, Saturday from 8 p.m.
00:35The military, first of group B with 8 points, have so far shown strong, winning two victories, a first against RCA and the second against Maniema Union and conceding two null matches against the Mameloudis Sundowns and Maniema Union.
00:50On their side, Mohamed Zelida's teammates, third with 4 points, have had mixed results, with two defeats against the Eifar and against the Sundowns and a null against Maniema and a success against the South Africans, which put them in the race.
01:07And now to Spain. The Super Cup is back, with a poster opposing Real Madrid in Mallorca.
01:14This Thursday, the Meringues approach this tournament in full confidence after a successful start to the year 2025, marked by a victory in the Liga against Valencia and a large success in the Coupe du Roi against Deportivo Minero.
01:26Winner of the competition last year, Carlo Ancelotti's men are aiming to keep their title by winning the final next Sunday.
01:35The Brazilian star Vinicius will be available for the match after his action with Dmitrivsky led to a suspension of two matches, which will only apply in the Liga.
01:46Vinicius and I hear what's going on on the pitch. I still think it's difficult to be Vinicius. The suspension is not fair. We are satisfied with Vinicius' performances at all levels.
02:03Everyone gives their opinion as they wish. When we talk about Vinicius' provocation, we deviate from the insults he receives. For Mallorca, we have a lot of respect for this team in terms of its qualities and the work of its coach. We must respect them as much as possible.
02:20Carlo Ancelotti has brought the entire team to Saudi Arabia, with the exception of injured players such as Carvajal and Militao.
02:32The central defender, David Alaba, is included in the squad for the first time this season, although it is expected that he will remain on the wing for the moment.
02:39On his side, Mallorca has the role of an outsider, currently sixth in the Liga and in search of a European qualification. The Mallorcan club hopes to bounce back after his elimination in the Coupe du Roi against Pontevedra.
02:52A victory against the Spanish champion would be a remarkable feat in their history.
02:58And now let's talk about the Coupe du Roi. The Spanish federation has just drawn the 8th final of the Copa del Rey. Real Madrid and FC Barcelona will face each other in the Liga,
03:09as the Meringues will challenge Celta de Vigo against Santiago Bernabéu, while the Catalans will welcome Betis to Montjuïc.
03:17The meetings will be held in the middle of next week, while the two ogres of the Liga will have the heart to win this competition in which they made their mark last year.
03:26The Athletic Club will play against Osasuna, while we will note that Atletico Madrid had a little luck with this match against Elche.
03:35And then this ranking of the CIES football observatory, the International Center for Sports Studies.
03:41Brahim Diaz, midfielder of Real Madrid and the Moroccan national team, ranks among the 100 most expensive players in the world.
03:49The 24-year-old player occupies the 95th position with an estimated value of 63.6 million euros. His contract with the Spanish club runs until 2027.
03:59The ranking of the 100 most expensive footballers is dominated by his English teammate Jude Benningham, whose value has reached an impressive 251 million euros.
04:10In second place is Erling Haaland, the Norwegian striker from Manchester City, with an evaluation of 221 million euros, followed closely by Vinicius Junior.
04:21Real Madrid's Brazilian Elie is estimated at 206 million euros. The top 5 is completed by another Real Madrid player, Kylian Mbappé, with a value of 175 million euros.
04:32He overtakes a little Amin Yamal, the prodigy of FC Barcelona, whose value is 180 million euros.
04:40And a word of tennis now, more precisely the WTA, women's tennis tournament Adelaide.
04:48Emerson Jones was one of the striking figures of this early season.
04:53Only 16 years old, the youngest Australian sensation has won the WTA Adelaide 2025, claiming to be one of the biggest promises of the women's circuit.
05:04Until this Wednesday morning, when she hit a wall named Daria Kasatkina.
05:09The Russian made use of all her talent by striking at repetitive dead angles and forcing Jones to suffocate to exhaustion many times,
05:19which prevented the young local hope from qualifying for the quarterfinals with a 7-5-6-3 defeat.
05:34And on the men's side, Jakub Mencik beat the American Ben Shelton, top of the series number one, two games in a row,
05:41and qualified for the quarterfinals of the Dockland tournament at ASB Tennis Arena Dockland on Wednesday morning.
05:48The fight between the two men lasted 2 hours 40 minutes and could have turned to Ben Shelton's advantage if the American had converted one of his two 4-4 break balls in the last set.
05:59But Jakub Mencik was strong enough to go for the win on the line, on his 6th ball of the game.
06:05Beaten by Ben Shelton in their first duel in 2024 at Indian Wells, the Czech took his revenge on Wednesday at Oakland to equalize, 1-1 now between the two men.
06:15Mencik, 49th in the world at the ATP, competed against the Portuguese Nuno Borges, head of series number 7, in the quarterfinals of the New Zealand tournament.
06:30And before ending this interesting sports day, we are at the Dakar Rallye 2025.
06:34At the cars, the Saudi pilot Yazeed Al-Rajhi and his co-pilot Tim Gottschalk are leading the race and finish in 4 hours 26 seconds 40 hundredths of a second,
06:45with nearly 5 minutes ahead of South African Henk Lattegan, first in the overall ranking.
06:51This performance allows the Saudi pilot to take second place in the overall at 6.54 seconds from Lattegan.
06:58On the bike, the Australian Daniel Sanders continues to dominate with a fourth success on this Dakar.
07:04He won Wednesday with a few seconds ahead of Tosha Chareyna, having led almost the entire special.
07:11The 29-year-old Spaniard had more than 2 minutes ahead of Sanders, 32 km from the finish,
07:18but he deliberately slowed down to let himself overtake and not have to open the road of the fifth stage on Thursday.
07:25And that's the end of your sports newspaper Maxi-Sport. Very good follow-up of the programs on Media.
