Bayern Munich wrapped up their eighth straight Bundesliga title on Tuesday with a 1-0 win over Werder Bremen. The win puts them mathematically beyond the reach of nearest challengers Borussia Dortmund, ten points ahead with just nine points left for Lucien Favre's side to play for. It was, fittingly, Robert Lewandowski who got the party started at the end of the first half – controlling a sumptuous lofted ball by Jerome Boateng on his chest before firing first time past a stranded Jiri...

Real Madrid have halted their pursuit of Dutch international midfielder Donny van de Beek. The 23-year-old Ajax favourite has been a key player for the Eredivisie side since coming through their academy, and has been on Real's wishlist – notably as a cheaper alternative to Paul Pogba – for over a year. Manchester United are among the other clubs who have been linked with a move for Van De Beek, but 90min have been told that Van de Beek's €50m asking price is among the reasons he isn't a...

While Britain has produced some of the Premier League's finest talents since its inception, there can be no denying that it has often been the foreign stars that have brought that sprinkling of brilliance.

Those cult figures who stuck around for years...

Rapid, two-footed, clinical. Wissam Ben Yedder has been quietly and consistently finding the net in the French and Spanish top tiers for the best part of decade. Between two spells in France, Ben Yedder spent three impressive years in La Liga with Sevilla where he was able to transfer his prolific scoring touch to European competition. In 22 outings in the Champions League and Europa League, Ben Yedder has found the net 18 times. In his debut campaign with the club he grew up supporting,...

Napoli meet Juventus in the final of the Coppa Italia on Wednesday evening, with the stakes higher than ever as both sides look to find some much-needed success in the cup; albeit for very different reasons. Napoli haven't touched the trophy since 2014, and will hope a triumph in the cup can bring some success to a nightmare season that sees them sitting sixth in the league. However, Juventus have won the Coppa Italia more times (13) than any other Italian club, and are out for blood after...

It's mid-June and we've not had a great deal of football this calendar year, but the (awards) show must go on! Tuttosport, Italian magazine and regular dabblers in iffy transfer gossip, have released their 100 names for the 2020 Golden Boy long list. The Golden Boy award honours the best Under-21 footballer playing in Europe's top tiers, with the first tonne of contenders whittled down to a final 20 by public vote, before a group of journalists get their grubby mitts on the names for a final...

ille An asterisk. That little symbol. That one that football fans who don't follow Liverpool will be turning around and pointing to over the next few years, well, probably, when discussing the destination of the 2019/20 Premier League title. It's Liverpool's trophy, there's no doubt about that now. The only question that remains is just about when they'll make it official. The Reds return to action following the suspension of the Premier League season this weekend at Goodison Park, knowing that...

ield Exclusive - Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville has admitted he's relishing the prospect of seeing Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes in the same midfield - with his former club set to return to Premier League action on Friday night. Pre-match suggestions for United's trip to Tottenham Hotspur are that Pogba, who has spent a large chunk of this season injured, will start the game on the bench. The suspension of the season due to coronavirus has given the Frenchman time to recover...

ents When the legendary figure of Alfredo Di Stéfano hails you as the best player in Real Madrid's academy and a 'phenomenon', your footballing career has gotten off to a pretty good start. A loan move from the reigning La Liga champions to the second tier of English football perhaps isn't the most obvious next step on the path to greatness but Dani Parejo's career has been punctuated by highs and lows from the very start. Dani Parejo has become a stalwart at Valencia but began his career in...

Juventus squirmed through to the Coppa Italia final on Friday night despite Cristiano Ronaldo's missed penalty, a 0-0 draw against Milan taking them through on away goals. They'll be facing a mercurial Napoli side in Wednesday night's clash, as they look to regain their Italian Cup crown after ending a four-year run of dominance last season.

Real Madrid have identified Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt as Sergio Ramos' successor at the Bernabeu, but they won't make a move for the Dutchman this summer. De Ligt rose to prominence last season as Ajax's skipper amid their spellbinding Champions League run and domestic triumphs. The Amsterdamers knocked out both Madrid and Juve on their way to the semi-finals, before Lucas Moura's second half hat-trick in the second leg sent Tottenham through to the final at Ajax's expense. De Ligt...

Paris Saint-Germain are contemplating a move for Bayern Munich defender David Alaba, whose talks over a new contract at the Allianz Arena have stalled.

Alaba's talks over a new Bayern Munich contract have stalled Well, you can add PSG to that list now as Sky...

With just two points separating Barcelona and Real Madrid at the top of La Liga, the race to be crowned champions is very much on. Football in Spain's top division got back underway on Thursday, but it wasn't until Saturday before fans were able to watch either of the top two in action.

Liverpool midfielder Pedro Chirivella has posted a goodbye message to the club, with the player set to leave Anfield following the expiry of his contract later this month. The Spaniard joined the club's academy seven years ago, and had been on the fringes of the first-team in the past few seasons, making just ten senior appearances in total. The youngster had already announced his intention to leave the club at the end of his deal - rather than sign a short-term extension until the end of the...

Arsenal, for all of their quality infrastructure and splendour, are not the powerhouse Premier League force they used to be. Instead, the Gunners - who 20 years ago were alongside Manchester United as one of the two best sides in England - now cling on to hopes of qualifying for the European B-leagues, rather than challenging for Premier League honours. It's a far cry from the days of peak Arsene Wenger, Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and co., with current head coach Mikel Arteta's hopes of...

Juventus boss Maurizio Sarri has explained that he will make a few tactical tweaks to his side for the Coppa Italia final to make them more defensively resolute, and hit back at his critics of his lack of trophies in Italy.
