As Barcelona prepare to face Villarreal on Sunday evening, all eyes will be on Quique Setién as he looks to quieten the rumours surrounding his future at Camp Nou. The former Real Betis manager took charge earlier this year after the departure of Ernesto Valverde, yet is already facing the chop due to the club's fairly disastrous return to football following the COVID lockdown. Sure, seven games unbeaten may sound good on the surface, but the three draws during that run simply isn't good...

Chiudete le valigie amici, andiamo a Berlino! To all of the world outside of Italy, those words hold very little significance. But to every Azzurri supporter who witnessed one of the greatest and most celebrated World Cup goals in history back in 2006, that sentence is etched into their memories for the rest of time. Pack your bags everyone, we're off to Berlin! For Italy, this is their 'They think it's all over' moment. Italy went on to lift the 2006 World Cup In one of the most gripping...

Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce is confident that winger Allan Saint-Maximin will still be at the club next season. The Frenchman joined the Magpies from Ligue 1 side Nice for just £16.5m last summer and has quickly settled into his role as the main man at St. James' Park. The 23-year-old was in exceptional form in midweek, registering three assists in his side's 4-1 victory over Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium. Bournemouth just couldn't stop Allan Saint-Maximin today! He picked up 3...

When Arsenal supporters look back on the 2019/20 season in years to come, there will be plenty more grimaces than smiles. Following a mid-season managerial change, a sea of injuries, several iconic, calamitous individual displays and general inadequacy throughout the team, the Gunners are almost certain to miss out on Champions League football for another year. FBL-EUR-C3-ARSENAL-FRANKFURT Rumours regarding the future of club captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have continued to swirl - with the...

Juventus boss Maurizio Sarri has identified AS Roma striker Edin Dzeko as a top priority for the summer transfer window, as the Italian coach looks to line up a replacement for the potentially outgoing Gonzalo Higuain. I Giallorossi are prepared to offload the Bosnian hitman this summer, as the club has been severely hit by the coronavirus crisis, and are in dire need of the cash. And Dzeko, who is on a contract worth £6.6m a year, could be one of the major casualties as Roma look to cut their...

reak Arsenal made it three consecutive league wins with a hard-fought victory on Saturday, as they beat Wolves 2-0 at Molineux. With both sides having their fair share of chances, it was Arsenal who struck first two minutes before half time. Kieran Tierney's cross deflected into the path of Bukayo Saka, who turned well and struck his shot into the back of the net to give the Gunners the lead. Wolves tried to fight their way back into the game and had a golden chance to equalise, but Adama...

Liverpool starlet Curtis Jones has signed a new contract with the Reds, keeping him at Anfield until 2025. The 19-year-old is very highly rated by the Merseyside club, and he has shone when given the opportunity this season, including scoring a sensational winning goal against rivals Everton in the FA Cup. Happy Saturday, Reds ? ? @curtisjr_10 ? — Liverpool FC (Premier League Champions ?) (@LFC) July 4, 2020 And Liverpool were clearly very eager to tie down their local hero for the coming...

As of Boxing Day 2019, Nemanja Matić had featured just three times for Manchester United in the league. Once a colossus of a holding midfielder with two Premier League winner’s medals to his name, the Serbia international’s time at the top appeared to be coming to an unceremonious end. Fast forward six months, and the 31-year-old is enjoying an emphatic renaissance in his United career, providing the defensive protection to allow headline-grabbers Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba to strut their...

Leicester fans had been crying out for a change of approach recently and Brendan Rodgers obliged against Crystal Palace, lining up the Foxes in a ludicrously fluid 3-4-1-2 formation. It's a system that the Northern Irishman has experimented with this season to varying degrees of success. A similar tactical plan garnered a victory against Newcastle over Christmas but also led to defeats to Manchester City and more disappointingly, a two legged elimination from the Carabao Cup at the hands of...

Footballing history is littered with players who have had their potential hamstrung by injury. Ronaldo, Michael Owen, Jack Wilshere...Abou Diaby? The list goes on and on. Though at 26, he is not quite ready to be lumped in with this group of 'what-ifs', Samuel Umtiti's Barcelona career continues to be blighted by fitness problems. Umtiti's Barcelona career started promisingly These injuries have clearly affected the Frenchman with the defender posting an emotional message on his Instagram. "I...

With Real Madrid potentially seven points clear at the top of the table by the time Barcelona play on Sunday, the champions simply have to win to have any chance of retaining their La Liga title. Just to make things harder for La Blaugrana, they face an in-form Villarreal - who will be looking to continue their push for Champions League football. View this post on Instagram Full time: 2-2. ? #BarçaAtleti A post shared by FC Barcelona (@fcbarcelona) on Jun 30, 2020 at 2:58pm PDT After a week of...

gles Leicester secured their first win in five games on Saturday, as they beat Crystal Palace 3-0 at King Power Stadium. James Justin was unlucky not to find the back of the net, his first of two long range efforts cannoning off the bar. The hosts controlled the proceeding in the first half but failed to really trouble Palace's backline, as Gary Cahill and co. defended well. Leicester finally broke the deadlock after the break, as Kelechi Iheanacho pounced on some poor defending. Youri...

fety Brighton took a huge step towards Premier League survival with a 1-0 victory over Norwich at Carrow Road on Saturday. Leandro Trossard produced a goal worthy of winning any game as he swept him Aaron Mooy's pinpoint delivery following an incisive Brighton counter attack to give the visitors the lead inside 25 minutes. The Canaries struggled to create anything clear cut, with Jamal Lewis' teasing delivery that failed to be turned home summing up their day. Norwich almost rescued a point at...

Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has broken Serie A's all-time appearance record, playing his 648th game as a professional footballer in Italy's top flight against Torino on Saturday evening. The Italy international is an undisputed legend of the game, cementing his place as one of - if not the - greatest goalkeeper in history during his illustrious career. The experienced shot-stopper has spent the entirety of his career in Italy, apart from one year in France with Paris Saint-Germain -...

ries Manchester United came from behind to record a thumping 5-2 win over relegation-threatened Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Saturday, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men taking another giant stride towards Champions League qualification. The visitors took a surprise lead after desperate United defending saw them unable to clear their lines, with the ball eventually falling to Junior Stanislas who skipped past Harry Maguire and deceived David de Gea at his near post. Bruno Fernandes was in top...

For all the exciting young talent that's emerging at Arsenal, the sheer lack of quality at the heart of the Gunners' midfield is - unbelievably - still a problem for the club. Ever since those lofty days of Patrick Vieira, Arsenal have been crying out for an imposing and dominant midfielder to drag them back up the table and challenging, really challenging, for the Premier League title. For too long have Gunners fans sat back and watched as the likes of Mathieu Flamini and Granit Xhaka have...

News Tottenham will be looking to rid themselves of a woeful showing at Bramall Lane on Thursday evening as they host a confident Everton side on Monday night. There was a sense of injustice to the Lilywhites going into the half-time break at Sheffield United 1-0 down, but a monstrosity of a defensive display in the second period overshadowed any previous VAR/handball law misdemeanours. Spurs had a potential equaliser ruled out due to Lucas Moura's 'handball' in the build up The 3-1 defeat all...

Not long ago, it was looking a near certainty that Willian's time at Chelsea was coming to an end. After seven years at the club, it appeared as though the pair were unable to agree a new contract, with his current deal having expired on 30 June (although he has signed a short-term extension to keep him in west London until the completion of the current campaign). Indeed, his comments in February weren't so much as a hint, but rather a very open remark about his future. The 31-year-old...

lues Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta has outlined the mentality he expects from his squad, as uncertainty continues to reign supreme over the futures of Mesut Ozil and Matteo Guendouzi. Ozil has not featured since the Premier League restarted, apparently due to a back injury. Guendouzi, meanwhile, has been omitted since he grabbed Neal Maupay by the throat following the Gunners' last gasp defeat to Brighton last month. Matteo Guendouzi has not played since this scuffle with Neal Maupay Arteta...

Barcelona boss Quique Setien has insisted there are no problems with Antoine Griezmann, despite reports suggesting that the forward is considering his future at the club. Griezmann has been afforded just 10 minutes of action in Barça's last two games, including a 60 second cameo against former club Atletico Madrid. It's been a frustrating debut season for Antoine Griezmann It is the latest blow in what has been a frustrating debut season for the 29-year-old. The player's agent supposedly...
