Jordan Henderson Dedicates Liverpool Title Win to Former Captain Steven Gerrard

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has dedicated the club’s Premier League title win to former skipper and Anfield legend Steven Gerrard, who ended his own career without ever tasting such glory – although he came agonisingly close in 2014. Gerrard won European trophies and domestic cups with Liverpool, most notably the Champions League in 2005 as he spearheaded that iconic comeback in Istanbul. But the Premier League title was the one that always eluded him. Gerrard won everything for...

Xavi: Barcelona must be 'patient' in post-Lionel Messi era

Lead Juventus maintained their four-point lead at the top of Serie A after comfortably dispatching Genoa 3-1 at Luigi Ferraris Stadium. The Old Lady had seen their advantage at the top of the table cut to just a point - after Lazio came from a goal down to win at Torino earlier in the day - but Maurizio Sarri's men were worthy winners against a Rossoblù side looking nervously over their shoulders at the relegation zone. Douglas Costa and Cristiano Ronaldo were both on the scoresheet. As...

‘Lukaku has you thinking why did Man Utd let him go?’ – Ince feels Red Devils are missing a top striker

uare Barcelona fell further behind in the La Liga title race as Atletico Madrid twice came from behind to earn a 2-2 draw at Camp Nou. The stalemate many foreshadowed beforehand was swiftly dashed after Diego Costa deflected Lionel Messi's inswinging corner into his own net after 11 minutes. Atletico had started brightly though, and they were rewarded with a quick equaliser from the penalty spot after Yannick Carrasco breezed past Gerard Pique down the left hand side before being tripped in the...

Transfer Talk: Mourinho wants to make ex-Golden Boy Sanches his first Roma signing

Forgotten Arsenal midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan has extended his loan spell at Roma until the end of the campaign, with an agreement in place to remain in Serie A next season too.

"It's a bit of a red herring' - Lampard not concerned by Chelsea record against top sides

Bayern Munich have agreed a deal with Manchester City for winger Leroy Sané, with the German international expected to complete a move worth up to €60m in the next 24 hours.
