Messi also stated there have to be 'a lot' of changes quickly if Barça are to pick themselves up in time to challenge for the Champions League when the competition resumes next month. Barcelona lost to Osasuna to hand La...

tial Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hailed forwards Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial after both scored against Crystal Palace on Thursday to keep the club firmly in contention for a top four finish.

Neal Maupay opened the scoring after 17 minutes with a clever reverse finish, collecting Glenn Murray's flick on from a throw-in as the visitors enjoyed the better opportunities of an end-to-end first half. Maupay's goal took him to double figures in his debut Premier League campaign On the cusp of the...

arge Manchester United's Champions League quest remains on course as Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial scored in a 2-0 win against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Thursday evening. In an otherwise less than impressive performance from the Red Devils, Rashford opened the scoring just before half time. Just minutes after the hosts had a penalty shout ignored by referee Graham Scott, England international Rashford showed fantastic composure to beat Patrick van Aanholt in the box, pivot on the...

rown A brace from Karim Benzema helped Real Madrid confirm their 34th La Liga title, with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Villarreal. The game's first real chance came from Luka Modrić's long-range attempt, which was palmed away by Sergio Asenjo. Attacking from the start, Los Blancos got their deserved opener midway through the first half, with Karim Benzema scoring his 20th league goal from the Croatian's pass, putting his team 1-0 up. Karim Benzema has been on fire this season. ?...

Barcelona surrendered their La Liga title to Real Madrid on Thursday night, falling to a disappointing 2-1 defeat against ten-men Osasuna. Prior to kick off, Quique Setien's side knew that only a victory and Real failing to win would be enough to take the title race to the final day. They did not do enough with Osasuna grabbing a last gasp winner to end the hosts' hopes of defending their domestic crown. Going into the game Barcelona boasted a dominant record over their visitors, winning their...

Aston Villa were denied a precious Premier League lifeline against Everton on Thursday evening as a late Theo Walcott header (yes, REALLY) prevented the Villans from taking all three points. While Dean Smith looked evidently deflated in his post-match interview, the Villa boss will head back home with a small crumb of comfort that his team boasted the standout player at Goodison Park. The midfield man was both combative and creative at Goodison Park Douglas Luiz produced a scintillating...

Arsenal have confirmed Gabriel Martinelli is likely to be out of action until 2021 with a knee injury he sustained in training. The Brazilian is one of the most highly rated young prospects in Europe and has earned praise whenever he's appeared in the Gunners first team. This season, he managed ten goals in 26 games in all competitions before being struck down with injury in June. The full extent of that knee problem has now been revealed in an injury update published on the club's official...

lans Theo Walcott secured a point for Everton late on against Aston Villa at Goodison Park on Thursday evening, with a turgid encounter ending 1-1. Despite plenty of attacking endeavour there was a clear lack of quality in the final third, with neither side recording a shot on target in the first half. Villa broke the deadlock with a little over 20 minutes to play, as Ezri Konsa connected with Conor Hourihane's superb free-kick to divert the ball past Jordan Pickford. Full-time at Goodison...

Leeds are just one point away from promotion to the Premier League following their 1-0 victory against Barnsley on Thursday. Brentford's victory over Preston on Wednesday meant the Whites couldn't secure their spot in next season's top flight with a triumph over the Tykes, but Michael Sollbauer's own goal means it is now a matter of when not if they will be promoted. ? GET IN! Another step closer! — Leeds United (@LUFC) July 16, 2020 Marcelo Bielsa's side were outshot by 12 to seven but the...

News Friday's Premier League clash between West Ham and Watford is a relegation six-pointer, with both sides knowing victory would virtually secure their top-flight status. The hosts emphatically beat Norwich 4-0 at Carrow Road last time out, relegating the Canaries back to the Championship. Results and performances have generally been better for the Hammers since the restart and there's now more confidence that they can avoid the drop. David Moyes' side currently sit in 16th place, three...

News The FA Cup returns to Wembley this weekend for two semi-finals, the first of which sees defending champions Manchester City take on Arsenal on Saturday. City have had a good week, overturning their European ban on Monday to ensure Champions League football for next season before beating an improving Bournemouth side on Wednesday evening. Arsenal were impressive against Liverpool on Wednesday Arsenal have had a very 'Arsenal' few days, stumbling to defeat in the north London derby on Sunday...

News Milan will extend their unbeaten run to eight games should they avoid defeat to mid-table Bologna at San Siro on Saturday night. Stefano Pioli's side have been undefeated in the league since Serie A's resumption in mid-June, beating the likes of Roma, Lazio and Juventus in the process. They faced Parma last time out and their performance in the first-half gave cause for concern - especially when they went a goal down shortly before half-time. Stefano Pioli has overseen a good run of...

The entrance to the Southampton manager’s office could have had a revolving door fitted to it prior to the signing of Ralph Hasenhüttl in 2018. The Austrian’s arrival at St Mary’s Stadium saw him become the club’s sixth different boss since August 2014, and - while some left with their head held a little higher than others - they all had one thing in common: they all loved Shane Long. The forward's work ethic is integral to the Saints' style of play Now, anyone who isn’t a big football fan may...

Of all the things you expect to stumble across during a stroll on the beach, the possible heir to Pelé is not necessarily one of them. Yet it was on the sands of São Vicente that Betinho, the shrewd Santos coach who has made a career out of unearthing many of the treasures of Brazilian football from Robinho through to Gabriel Barbosa, saw something that caught his attention like very little else had before. "He was fast; I mean really fast. And he was so confident. It was just natural. He kept...

In the nicest possible terms, Gareth Bale's recent Real Madrid career has been divisive to say the least. Ask any Los Blancos fan to compile a list of the club's most beloved players and Julian Faubert, Royston Drenthe and Joanthan Woodgate are more likely than the Welshman to make the top 10. SHOP NOW: Get Real Madrid gear at a deep discount at Kitbag! We think this is a bit of a travesty to be honest.
