"We're fine. We're fit. The players are raring to go and want to play again. We've got enough players - we've had the chance over this period to take players off; we've been three goals up in many games after 60 minutes, so we've been fortunate in that respect." These the words of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who saw his Manchester United side extend their current unbeaten run in all competitions to 19 games on Thursday night, after they successfully navigated through a difficult fixture at Crystal...

Andre Schürrle once had the world at his feet. A World Cup winner with Germany, playing for one of Europe's top teams in Chelsea and managed by one of the very best coaches around - everything was so looking good. So how on earth did it all go so wrong for the German, to the extent that after being released by Borussia Dortmund a year before his contract expired, he's decided to retire at the age of 29? FIFA World Cup Final 2014 Schürrle initially hit the headlines internationally during the...

Exclusive: Crystal Palace have fended off interest from a host of top European sides and persuaded starlet Zion Atta to commit his future to the club. Palace snapped up the highly-rated forward from Millwall in 2018, beating Tottenham and Arsenal to his signature at the time, and he has since emerged as one of the top prospects in European football.

Many will point to Barcelona's own failings as a primary reason for Real Madrid claiming this season's La Liga title. That, however, would be wholly unjust. With a game to spare, Los Blancos ended a three-year league drought to secure their 34th top flight crown, one that ends Barça's recent dominance and also means they leapfrog their rivals in total titles won. In other words, this one will feel especially sweet. Winning any league title requires a combination of factors, ranging anywhere...

tial Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hailed forwards Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial after both scored against Crystal Palace on Thursday to keep the club firmly in contention for a top four finish.

Only goal difference keeps them below fourth place Leicester with two games...

Barcelona captain Lionel Messi admits his side did too much to help Real Madrid win only a third La Liga title since 2008 by dropping too many points in games they shouldn’t have, describing performances this season as ‘irregular’ and questioning the team’s mental strength. Messi also stated there have to be 'a lot' of changes quickly if Barça are to pick themselves up in time to challenge for the Champions League when the competition resumes next month. Barcelona lost to Osasuna to hand La...

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has declared himself the 'happiest person in the world after the club’s La Liga title win – secured with victory over Villarreal on Thursday night – after finishing ahead of Barcelona for only the third time since 2008. Two more Karim Benzema goals, the second a penalty after an attempt to repeat a classic Johan Cruyff/Jesper Olsen two-man effort with Sergio Ramos went wrong because of encroachment, was enough for a 2-1 victory. As it was, Barcelona’s surprise...

Inter are continuing discussions with Manchester United over an extension on Alexis Sanchez's loan deal that would allow him to play the remainder of their Europa League campaign.

lans Theo Walcott secured a point for Everton late on against Aston Villa at Goodison Park on Thursday evening, with a turgid encounter ending 1-1. Despite plenty of attacking endeavour there was a clear lack of quality in the final third, with neither side recording a shot on target in the first half. Villa broke the deadlock with a little over 20 minutes to play, as Ezri Konsa connected with Conor Hourihane's superb free-kick to divert the ball past Jordan Pickford. Full-time at Goodison...

Arsenal have confirmed Gabriel Martinelli is likely to be out of action until 2021 with a knee injury he sustained in training. The Brazilian is one of the most highly rated young prospects in Europe and has earned praise whenever he's appeared in the Gunners first team. This season, he managed ten goals in 26 games in all competitions before being struck down with injury in June. The full extent of that knee problem has now been revealed in an injury update published on the club's official...

Aston Villa were denied a precious Premier League lifeline against Everton on Thursday evening as a late Theo Walcott header (yes, REALLY) prevented the Villans from taking all three points. While Dean Smith looked evidently deflated in his post-match interview, the Villa boss will head back home with a small crumb of comfort that his team boasted the standout player at Goodison Park. The midfield man was both combative and creative at Goodison Park Douglas Luiz produced a scintillating...

Barcelona surrendered their La Liga title to Real Madrid on Thursday night, falling to a disappointing 2-1 defeat against ten-men Osasuna. Prior to kick off, Quique Setien's side knew that only a victory and Real failing to win would be enough to take the title race to the final day. They did not do enough with Osasuna grabbing a last gasp winner to end the hosts' hopes of defending their domestic crown. Going into the game Barcelona boasted a dominant record over their visitors, winning their...
