Sources: River Plate still keen on NYCFC's 'Taty'

Being in with a shot of the Spanish title was expected of Real Madrid after they secured the club-record signing of Eden Hazard last summer, but while they've achieved their goals, the Belgian's impact was bit-part at best. Openly admitting to being overweight for the start of the season and suffering a string of niggling injuries has resulted in the forward making just 21 appearances in all competitions and a single goal.

Ralf Rangnick's changes decide another game for Manchester United

Former Chelsea director Michael Emenalo has revealed that Kevin De Bruyne's departure in 2014 was actually one of the catalysts behind Chelsea's recent focus on academy talents.

Mourinho holds Alli showdown talks

As the ball comes hurtling towards Valencia's penalty area, Santi Cazorla has slipped, unnoticed, into a pocket of space behind the defence. With a wonderful, feathered touch, he tames the unceremonious hoof upfield, teeing up Gerard Moreno for Villarreal's second goal. The quality of the assist is such that Moreno's hip-high volley barely gets little more than a nod of vague appreciation as the goal is incessantly replayed and poured over in the weeks that followed. Sensational goal to double...
