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...

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.

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...

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.

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...

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.

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...

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...

News Inter restart their league campaign by hosting Sampdoria on Sunday evening, with their Scudetto hopes hanging by a thread following back-to-back Serie A defeats. Antonio Conte’s men looked well placed to make a charge towards their first league championship for ten years, but defeats to fellow title contenders Juventus and Lazio prior the league’s three-month recess severely dented those hopes. Sampdoria, meanwhile, are in need of the points for very different reasons. Claudio Ranieri’s...

When Barcelona confirmed the signing of Antoine Griezmann in July 2019, a two-year transfer saga was finally brought to a close. The Catalan giants had pursued the forward since 2017 and were the subject of a complaint from Atletico after allegedly making an illegal approach for the player in December of that year. Barcelona eventually wrapped up the deal for €107m in the summer of 2019, and two months later they were fined a full €300 for breaking Spanish Football Federation and negotiating...

Atletico Madrid are said to have rejected a stunning €150m offer from an unnamed Premier League club for forward Joao Felix prior to the coronavirus pandemic. The 20-year-old made the switch from Benfica to the Wanda Metropolitano last summer, after Atletico triggered his €126m release clause. Since making the big money switch, the Portugal international has struggled with injuries, starting just 18 of his side's 29 league games up to this point. However, most recently against Osasuna, Felix...

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.

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. Palace took the lead inside 12 minutes when Luka Milivojevic bent a stunning free-kick into the top corner to inflict the worst possible start upon the Cherries. The hosts' woes were doubled ten minutes later as the Eagles cut through the Bournemouth backline with ease, allowing Jordan Ayew to provide the...

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...

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...

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...
