ible Burnley Football Club have issued a statement condemning fans that organised a plane carrying a banner that read 'white lives matter Burnley' to fly overhead during the Clarets' Monday night Premier League clash with Manchester City.

Burnley quickly promised to issue lifetime bans to those responsible, while...

Benfica's Ruben Dias is a defender under consideration by Manchester City ahead of the summer transfer window, with Pep Guardiola making defensive reinforcements a 'priority'. Reigning champions City are all but certain to finish 2019/20 in second after failing to keep pace with runaway leaders Liverpool. While the Citizens boast a league-high 71 goals scored, they have only the fourth-best defensive record and have lost seven times so far this season. Manchester City's defence has fallen...

Being a world-class player is no guarantee of one day blossoming into a world-class manager. For every managerial success of Johan Cruyff, Pep Guardiola and Franz Beckenbauer, there's a Roy Keane, Diego Maradona or Tony Adams making furious hand gestures and pained facial expressions in the dugout. But there are some players you just cannot imagine even contemplating management based on their antics as a player. Be it their temperament, rule-breaking tendencies or class clown reputation,...

Remember 'fan influence' app Socios? The lads who have partnered up with West Ham, Juve, Atleti and all that when we told you about it before? With fans voting on club decisions – changes in goal music, influence over fan experiences, that kinda thing? Turns out that empty stadiums have fans desperate for any interaction with their club from afar, and that fans of (arguably) the world's biggest club...are really invested in that club. The official Fan Token of @FCBarcelona is here, and for the...

It's fair to say Luciano Spalletti's two-year tenure at Inter was a pretty successful one. Sure, stagnation and dysfunction may have led to his departure at the end of the 2018/19 campaign, but the two-time Serie A Coach of the Year nonetheless returned the Nerazzurri to the Champions League for the first time since 2012 and oversaw the move which saw Lautaro Martinez arrive in Milan. Inter qualified for the Champions League in both seasons Luciano Spalletti was in charge But the act which may...

It's not often you hear the words, 'Everton deserved to win the Merseyside derby'. However, on Sunday, it was true. They really did. The Toffees managed to shackle their rivals, at least helping to slightly postpone the Liverpool title party. For those who hadn't watched the game, a first glance of the scoreline might have suggested that Everton had held on for dear life, it was, in fact, more like the opposite and Klopp's men were lucky to leave with a point. Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Tom Davies...

After slipping to a goalless draw at Sevilla - surrending the La Liga title race lead to Real Madrid - Barcelona have a chance to get back to winning ways against Athletic Club on Tuesday night. Sure, it's not time for the Catalan giants to panic yet, but there's an underlying feeling that anything less than perfection between now and the end of the season may not be good enough. That's a tricky ask of any team, and is made more complicated when you remembered that Barça actually lost to...

Not only can you rely on Sergio Ramos to win tackle after tackle, but the Real Madrid man is also good for more than his fair share of goals... and red cards. The Spaniard has a habit of popping up with crucial goals when Real need them, and that's why he's the highest-scoring defender in La Liga history. He bags plenty of routine headers, but loves mixing it up every once in a while. Let's take a look at his best goals for Real Madrid. 8. Diving Header vs. Real Betis (February 2009) Sergio...

We at 90min's DEPR headquarters decided that it was about damn time we made our long-awaited RETURN to the internet too. So here we...
