Despite fielding an understrength side against Freiburg on Saturday, Bayern Munich produced a dominant display to further underline the ethos and philosophy which has gleaned near-innumerable pieces of silverware. The club secured their eighth consecutive Bundesliga title earlier in the week with victory against Werder Bremen. While mainstays such as Thomas Muller and Manuel Neuer have been present for all eight campaigns, the landscape of the 2020 team is of course very different to the one...

In every level of football, when you glance at the opposition lineup there tends to be at least one player who you know, with enough gentle nudging, can see red and lose his focus. Joey Barton and Roy Keane are a few names that spring to mind. People who with enough - legal - winding up could be of detriment to their sides with some overaggressive tendencies, resulting in needless fouls and bookings. ? 'We did more than enough to win this game and we threw it again. I don't want to use...

sure Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has confessed that adding marquee signings Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech to his squad for next season has ramped up the pressure on him to deliver. The Blues agreed a £37m deal to sign Ziyech back in February and followed that up with a £47.5m move for Werner earlier this month, while the club are still working to add to that. Bayer Leverkusen's Kai Havertz and Leicester City's Ben Chilwell have both been touted as expensive options, with Chelsea apparently one...

52 months ago, I thought Arsenal were going to win the league. The foundations of my house shook vigorously after Danny Welbeck had just scored the most dramatic of dramatic winners against Leicester. From that moment, fans across the country believed. They felt alive. One glanced header in the 95th minute and it looked like the title was there for the taking. Hearts raced at a million miles an hour, as that goal put the Gunners within two points of the top. That was supposed to be it. That...

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta blamed his side's Premier League defeat on an inability to 'put the game to bed' as Brighton's Neal Maupay ended an action-filled afternoon with a 95th-minute winner. In the first half, Maupay challenged for the ball with Arsenal's goalkeeper Bernd Leno which led to the German landing awkwardly, forcing him to leave the pitch on a stretcher. Arsenal took the lead through Nicolas Pépé but eventually lost 2-1 with Maupay again coming to the fore. Neal Maupay produced...

Real Madrid have agreed to allow midfielder Martin Ødegaard to remain on loan with Real Sociedad for another campaign while they put the finishing touches on plans to rejuvenate their squad. Before the coronavirus outbreak, this summer was seen as a turning point for Madrid, whose squad is full of a number of ageing stars who will soon need replacing. However, with money now not so easy to find, Los Blancos have been tipped to avoid making any major signings this summer. Real Madrid are...

Zinedine Zidane has refuted the insinuation made by Gerard Pique that referees favour Real Madrid over Barcelona. The central defender made his comments following his side's 0-0 draw with Sevilla on Friday, with many inferring a reference to VAR's controversial decision not to award Valencia a goal in their clash against Los Blancos the day before. A dejected Pique insisted it would be 'very difficult' for Barcelona to win La Liga this season, claiming it's not 'our hands anymore'. ? IT'S...

Wayne Rooney believes Liverpool can enjoy a similar period of dominance akin to Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson, despite Jurgen Klopp's own doubts. The Red Devils claimed over 25 major honours during Ferguson's imperious 27-year spell in charge at Old Trafford, including 13 Premier League titles and a pair of Champions League crowns. Liverpool are on course for their maiden Premier League victory this season, currently needing just two more victories to bring the title to Merseyside....

Matteo Guendouzi may face disciplinary action for his altercation with Neal Maupay on Saturday, in which the midfielder grabbed the Brighton striker by the throat directly after the full-time whistle. Arsenal were on course for three much-needed points on the south coast courtesy of Nicolas Pepe's fine curling strike, but goals from Lewis Dunk and then a 95th-minute Maupay winner condemned the Gunners to their second defeat in four days. Neal Maupay hit out at the Arsenal players in his post...

Prior to the enforced break, Wolverhampton Wanderers had played over 50 matches in all competitions in 2019/20. Despite Nuno Espirito Santo having a fairly small squad (compared to others), the Premier League outfit were going strong on numerous fronts. However, the three-month layoff provided Nuno and his men the chance to regroup and prepare for the season run-in. As has been the case with the opening games since the resumption of football in England's top division, it has taken teams a...

As Eddie Howe huddled up with his deflated troops during the first half drinks break, a resignation was written all over their faces. Bournemouth were doomed. The Cherries had just been ripped limb from limb by a wonderfully-crafted Crystal Palace attack, finding themselves two goals down inside the opening 25 minutes. As far as returns to action go, this was up there with one of the worst. Bournemouth were two goals behind very quickly Howe has looked a beaten man on several occasions this...

A lot can change in half an hour, especially in Arsenal’s case. In their 2-1 loss to Brighton on Saturday, it started with the prospect of sealing their first away win since December and ended with the reality of dismal back to back defeats. A 95th minute winner from Neal Maupay was the most painful way possible to lose the game, with the Frenchman playing an unfortunate role in Bernd Leno’s awful injury. It all culminated in a confrontation at the final whistle, as Arsenal players crowded...

ries Crystal Palace cruised to a 2-0 victory over strugglers Bournemouth on Saturday evening, leaving the Cherries marooned in the Premier League's relegation zone following a dismal display.

The hosts' woes were doubled ten minutes later as the Eagles cut through the Bournemouth backline with ease, allowing Jordan Ayew to provide the...

In case any of us had forgotten during the pause in the football calendar, Paul Pogba undoubtedly remains one of the most talented midfielders in the world. If we did need a reminder, the World Cup winner dished one out in devastating fashion on Friday evening, coming on to revive a flatlining Manchester United team and almost turning zero points into three in the space of 30 minutes. Pogba and Bruno Fernandes during Friday's game It was astonishing, but also not surprising in the least, that...
