10. Paul Lambert (Borussia Dortmund v Juventus, 1997) Zinedine Zidane is Champions League royalty, as a player and a coach. But there is one final - and one player in particular - that sticks in the Frenchman's mind. "Oh my god, that game!" he remarked to Paul Lambert when they met years later. Lambert joined Dortmund on a free transfer in 1996. Portugal star Paulo Sousa arrived fresh from winning the Champions League with Juventus the same summer, but it was the Scottish midfielder who wrote his name into Westfalenstadion legend. Dortmund saw off Manchester United in the semi-finals to set up a showdown against Juventus in Munich in 1997, with Lambert handed the task of man-marking a playmaker emerging as one of the world's greatest. "The thing about Zidane, he drifts off your shoulder. He often goes away from the ball, almost baiting you. But the ball's not the danger, it's him," Lambert told the Guardian. "Zidane did put me on the backside a couple of times because he's brilliant. But he's not going to evaporate, is he?" As modest as his account is, Lambert didn't give Zidane an inch and that was the platform for Dortmund to engineer a 3-1 win over the reigning champions. Juventus chiefs were so impressed they offered to buy him that summer and, Lambert told BBC Scotland, former Juventus midfielder Antonio Conte later confessed: "You were unbelievable."

AnthonyRosenberg/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images In my latest coverage of V.F. Corporation ( VFC ) in February 2026, I rated the company's stock as a hold due to signs of returning growth as well as deleveraging efforts progressing. I, however, warned about the weak consumer confidence as a significant headwind in the near term. The aim of my article today is to give an updated view on the company, as the latest earnings report is available now. My discussions will focus on the growth metrics and how each brand contributed to this growth, as well as on the macroeconomic environment and how it has changed since my last writing. Sales In the most recent quarter, VFC managed to again achieve growth, expand margins, and beat estimates . I definitely find it attractive that, excluding Dickies, the firm achieved a top line growth of 8%, even if the favourable FX environment contributed significantly to this. Q4 results (V.F. Corp) The growth on a constant currency basis was still above the previously guided range of 0% to 2%, mainly because of the higher demand in the wholesale channel. Comparison to guidance (V.F. Corp) All in all, I find it attractive that the company's growth is accelerating, and it is already the third quarter, in which the revenue is not downward trending. This, however, I still do not find enough to be bullish on the stock just yet. Growth (V.F. Corp) One of my concerns going forward is that the growth achieved is not necessarily broad based. And by that I mean that it was The North Face brand that contributed most to the growth. Other brands also achieved a 7% growth, but the total revenue of Other Brands is $339.6 million compared to The North Face's $935 million. When it comes to the Other Brands, the main driver of growth was Altra, which grew by 50% due to franchise launches. Further, the growth by geography is also largely limited to the Americas, which grew by 10% YoY. EMEA actually declined by 5% in constant currency terms, while the APAC...

US to grant retroactive tariff relief for Taiwan, Cabinet says By Chung Li-hua and Fion Khan / Staff reporter, with staff writer The US is expected to announce that preferential tariff treatment for Taiwan’s non-semiconductor Section 232 goods would take effect retroactively from May 1, the Executive Yuan said yesterday. The US government yesterday posted a notice on the Federal Register’s public inspection Web site previewing tariff concessions for Taiwan under a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on Taiwan-US investment after two months of negotiations, the Executive Yuan said. The measures include capping tariffs on auto parts, logs, lumber and wood derivative products at no more than 15 percent, while exempting steel, aluminum and copper derivative products used in aircraft components from Section 232 tariffs, it said. The national flags of the US, back left, and Taiwan are pictured in an undated photograph. Photo: Bloomberg The implementation of the non-semiconductor Section 232 tariff concessions outlined in the MOU would help improve the international competitiveness of Taiwan’s industries and further expand their presence in the US market, Vice Premier Cheng Li-chiun (鄭麗君) said. The MOU signed on Jan. 15 stipulated three major preferential tariff arrangements: a 15 percent reciprocal tariff rate for Taiwan without stacking most-favored nation rates, preferential Section 232 treatment for semiconductors and related products, and preferential Section 232 treatment for non-semiconductor products, the Executive Yuan said. After a US Supreme Court ruling in February, Washington has been using a Section 301 investigation to re-establish the legal basis for tariffs originally imposed under reciprocal tariff measures, it said. The US has not imposed Section 232 tariffs on Taiwanese semiconductor exports and related derivative products, it said, adding that Taipei continued consultations with the US Department of Commerce in March and April seeking the early implement...
