Real Madrid
Starting with Real Madrid, making real history last season as they broke a string of records, Los Blancos only further underlined their status as one of Europe’s ultimate poster boys. Completing a domestic and European sweep prior to the summer break, Carlo Ancelotti’s men have gained a fearsome reputation from across the continent. Getting their hands on a history-making 15th European crown back on June 1st as they claimed a famous 2-0 win against German giants Borussia Dortmund at Wembley, the former AC Milan boss did not see his superstar squad suffer a single competitive defeat across any competition since opening …
Marco Silva insists his focus is on the future with Fulham as the Cottagers seek to secure a record Premier League points return on the final day of the season.
Silva has previously said he will seek assurance that Fulham share his ambition before entering into talks over a new contract, with his current deal set to expire at the end of next season.
But the 45-year-old Portuguese – who has been linked to Saudi Arabian side Al Ahli – said he is in dialogue with the club’s hierarchy “every single day” to push Fulham forward.
“Normally I don’t talk too much about the situation,” Silva said ahead of the trip to Manchester United on Sunday.
“But we are here and I am talking every single day with people to keep planning and improving this foot…
Rodrygo s double steered Real Madrid to Copa del Rey glory as they defeated a valiant Osasuna 2-1 in Saturday s final.
The Brazil forward netted twice to guide Los Blancos to their second piece of silverware this season in front of a packed Estadio de La Cartuja.
For Carlo Ancelotti s side, victory ends a nine-year drought in Spain s most prestigious cup competition, with Madrid having last won in 2014 during the Italian s previous spell in charge.
But it is a tough result for Jagoba Arrasate s Osasuna to take, after Lucas Torro s strike had given them hope of an upset in their first appearance in a Copa del Rey final in 18 years.
Madrid lived up to the favourites tag inside two minutes as Rodrygo swept Vinicius Junior s dynamite cutback past Sergio Herre…
Much has been said in the press in England (and elsewhere) about Ederson Moraes potentially leaving Manchester City to join Al-Ittihad. Apparently, the Saudi Pro League side will have to pay at least £40 million to obtain the services of the Brazilian goalkeeper who turns 31 next month, and according to , City are looking at Paris Saint-Germain s Gianluigi Donnarumma as a possible replacement.
Donnarumma s contract with PSG still has two years left to run and there were some preliminary talks about a new deal before the Euros started, but the Italy international is apparently intrigued by the prospect of moving to the Premier League and working with Pep Guardiola. The Catalan tactician apparently sees the 25-year-old as a good fit.
Donnarumma joined PSG in 2021 as a fr…
Ghana coach Otto Addo always anticipated Son Heung-min would go on to have a great career, as he hailed the South Korea captain s character and discipline.
Korea face Ghana in their second World Cup Group H match on Monday.
While Korea drew 0-0 with Uruguay, in a game that saw only one shot on target, Ghana lost 3-2 to Portugal in a thriller at Stadium 974.
Son recovered from an eye injury to feature in Korea s opening game in Qatar, though the Tottenham forward is having to wear a protective facemask.
And Addo, who worked with Son during his stint as a coach of Hamburg s youth team between 2009 and 2015, said he identified the attacker s potential early on.
We will try to stop every attacker. We did it well against Portugal, mostly, Addo said in…
Manchester United’s Champions League return ended in disappointment as Harry Kane struck from the spot for Bayern Munich in an entertaining 4-3 win kicked off by Andre Onana’s clanger.
The European heavyweights are at very different stages right now, with the perennial Bundesliga champions second favourites to win a competition that the Red Devils did not even feature in last season.
Absentee-hit United began brightly enough at the Allianz Arena, only for Serge Gnabry to score shortly after ex-Manchester City forward Leroy Sane’s effort squirmed past summer signing Onana.
Rasmus Hojlund netted his first goal for the club but Kane quickly slammed home a penalty, with Casemiro scoring either side of Mathys Tel’s stoppage-time strike as the Red Devils suffer…
It feels like English football is still trying to gather its collective breath after last weekend s astounding demolition of Manchester United by Liverpool, and yet another round of action is already upon us.
Of course, Erik ten Hag s men will be desperate to bounce back, and they will be expected to do so against struggling Southampton, while Liverpool aim to ensure that incredible 7-0 win was not just a flash in the pan.
For United, much of their hope will be pinned on Marcus Rashford, who could go where only two Red Devils stars have been before if he nets against Saints.
Elsewhere, Erling Haaland and Harry Kane have goalscoring feats of their own they will be keen to achieve.
Ahead of the action, you can test your knowledge with Stats Perform s Opta-p…
Manchester United are negotiating a new deal with Jonny Evans to extend his stay with the Red Devils, who have released their retained list to the Premier League.
Evans, who won three Premier League titles during his 11-year stint at United between 2004 and 2015, returned for a second spell at the start of the 2023-24 season, signing a one-year deal at Old Trafford.
The Northern Ireland defender initially trained with the club during pre-season, before putting pen to paper on a short-term deal in September and going on to make 30 appearances across all competitions.
And United confirmed they are in discussions with the 36-year-old over fresh terms to keep him at Old Trafford for the 2024-25 campaign.
The Red Devils are also in negotiations with Tom Heaton…
James Sands equalised five minutes into second-half stoppage time as New York City fought back for a 1-1 draw with Inter Miami in MLS on Saturday.
Miami entered the game with an eight-point lead over the chasing pack in the Supporters Shield standings, but they opened the door to their rivals by letting a lead slip at the death.
Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez returned to their lineup after being rested in their midweek draw with Atlanta United, but it was substitute Leonardo Campana who put them on the brink of victory with his goal 15 minutes from time, only for Sands to rescue a point for the hosts.
New York started brighter and saw Santiago Rodriguez strike the post with a curling free-kick early on, before Matt Freese was called into action by Messi at the othe…
Raphinha s first career hat-trick helped Barcelona remain perfect in LaLiga as they thumped Real Valladolid 7-0 at Camp Nou.
A commanding display saw Barcelona enter the international break top of the table as Hansi Flick became the first head coach of the club to win each of his first four league games in charge since 2017-18.
Brazilian Raphinha opened the scoring with 20 minutes on the clock, beating Karl Hein with a deft finish after being picked out by Pau Cubarsi.
The hosts entered the interval with a three-goal advantage as Robert Lewandowski struck his fourth of the season before Jules Kounde picked out the top corner in the second minute of added time.
Raphinha grabbed his second of the game just after the hour, completing his maiden treble eight…
