Lionel Messi's Most Rascal Looks Throughout His Career - Ranked

Countless times throughout his 16-year career Lionel Messi has proved that he's simply not human. All those who are blessed with La Liga TV or determined to grind through 90 minutes of scrawny pixelation on a dodgy stream witnessed yet another example on Saturday night. In Barcelona's 4-0 victory over Mallorca, the GOAT churned out a display that shouldn't have been possible following a lengthy three-month lay-off.

Luis Suarez Holds Talks With Inter Miami as Barcelona Exit Edges Closer

Kepa Arrizabalaga is under a lot of pressure. Not only does the weight of being Chelsea's starting goalkeeper come with a lot of expectation but being the world's most expensive shot stopper automatically leaves people expecting you to be... well, the best in the world. For Kepa, that pressure has been too much to handle this season. His performances have generally been nowhere near good enough, and that's got people suggesting that the Spaniard's time at Stamford Bridge could be up already....

Electoral Board kicks off County FKF nominations, verification exercise

Under normal circumstances, Edinson Cavani would not have been short of options upon leaving Paris Saint-Germain this summer. However, in the summer of coronavirus - where even Europe's biggest clubs are looking to do their transfer business on a shoestring - the Uruguayan's agent will never have had an easier gig. You can only imagine the strain on his inbox and voicemail as the summer approaches. He might be 33 years old and coming off the back of a difficult 2019/20 season which saw him net...

Frank Lampard Has Asked Thiago Silva to Become Chelsea Club Captain

Diego Costa celebrated his equalising goal against Athletic Club on Sunday afternoon by holding aloft the number 14 shirt of Atletico Madrid Femenino star Virginia Torrecilla, who is recovering from brain surgery. In their first La Liga contest back after the three-month hiatus, Diego Simeone's side were held to a slightly disappointing 1-1 draw at San Mames, with Costa's finish levelling after Iker Muniain had opened the scoring for the hosts in the first half. The draw, incredibly, marked a...

Athletic Club 1-1 Atletico Madrid: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Rojiblancos Lose Ground on La Liga's Top Four

Four Atletico Madrid missed the chance to move into fourth spot in La Liga on Sunday, after being held to 1-1 draw with Athletic on their return to action. Yannick Carrasco came closest to breaking the deadlock at an empty San Mames, but his low effort squirmed just wide of the post to spare Unai Simon's blushes after a bizarre slip in goal. Jan Oblak may not have played in a while, but he showed no signs of rustiness with a flying save after 32 minutes. However, he was powerless to prevent...

Alexis Sanchez Joins Inter on Permanent Transfer From Man Utd

Manchester United could be close to agreeing a new contract for midfielder Angel Gomes, despite interest from rivals Chelsea, as well as clubs on the continent. The highly rated 19-year-old attacking midfielder has found first-team opportunities hard to come by, in spite of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's predilection for giving chances to academy players. Meanwhile, the youngster's current deal is set to expire at the end of this season. While fellow youth team graduates Mason Greenwood and...

Leverkusen sign Man United's Fosu-Mensah

Philippe Coutinho has made plea to Jurgen Klopp to take him back to Anfield this summer and be reunited with the club he spent six years at, claims one report. Tedious doesn't quite cut it in the never ending Coutinho transfer saga, with the only certainty being that Barcelona 100%, categorically, do not really fancy him any more. His Bayern Munich venture appeared mildly successful, but they can't (or won't) pay the hefty asking price Barça are commanding, so his loan move will not be made...

One Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has predicted a stellar career for Dean Henderson, backing him to become England's number one. 23-year-old Henderson has been out on loan at Sheffield United since the start of the 2018/19 season and has enjoyed a superb campaign following the Blades' return to the top flight. Only Burnley's Nick Pope (11) has kept more clean sheets than the Red Devils loanee (10) this term. Henderson is yet to make a senior appearance for United Henderson's...

Julian Nagelsmann has spoken on Timo Werner's imminent transfer from RB Leipzig to Chelsea, admitting he doesn't expect him to be at the club next season.

Pitch invaders to receive automatic club bans in new Premier League & EFL measures

So, the basic idea of not allowing fans into stadiums is that fans aren't allowed into stadiums. We all get that. La Liga managed just three days of action before someone managed to find a way around the tight protocol (and security) as a pitch invader briefly stole the show in Barcelona's 4-0 win over Real Mallorca on Saturday night.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Reaches Out to Donny van de Beek Over Summer Transfer

La Liga got back underway again on Thursday, with Sevilla running out 2-0 winners in their derby clash with Real Betis. It was a vital win for Sevilla as the three points saw them move four points clear of fourth-placed Real Sociedad and within just six points of Real Madrid - having played one game more than both clubs. It was an impressive team display on their first game back, but there was one man who grabbed the headlines for his scintillating display. Lucas Ocampos. Lucas Ocampos...
