d Go It's tough times for Lyon right now. At the start of the season, they had one of the most exciting and dynamic sides in Europe as they flew out of the traps both domestically and in Europe. However, a few patchy spells of form after an injury to Memphis Depay saw them slip to seventh in Ligue 1, just before the league was cut short by COVID-19. This means there will be no European football at the Groupama Stadium for the first time in 20 years, and due to this they will have to sell some...

So we all know that Newcastle are hopeful of coming into a little bit of money in the near future. Their Saudi Arabia-backed takeover is close to completion (unless, of course, it isn't) so the transfer rumours are already going wild. We've had rubbish, unfounded rumours of bids for Kylian Mbappé and Neymar, and now we've got a link to Bayer Leverkusen's Kai Havertz. Because of many requests. True: Kai Havertz can imagine to play for @ChelseaFC. True: there are already talks. But: @ChelseaFC...

News With the rest of Europe's top leagues almost back in business, the Bundesliga may start to fade into the background soon; with the title race done and the season almost over. There's still plenty to play for in the interim though, with the European spots still up for grabs and the relegation battle very much alive. Bayern Munich have more or less wrapped up the title, leading Borussia Dortmund by seven points with just four games to go, but they haven't taken their collective foot off the...

Be afraid Manchester City, be very afraid. A few days prior and the hopes of Arsenal supporters were cranked up a notch ahead of the return of the Premier League, as the Gunners cruised to a 6-0 win over Charlton in their first warm-up fixture. Granted, it was only Charlton, but that excuse can't be flipped on its head to describe their 3-2 loss to Brentford, another second tier outfit, who were fully deserving of their victory. ? We held our second behind closed doors friendly at Emirates...

opes Bayern Munich secured their place in the final of the DFB-Pokal with a 2-1 win over a battling Eintracht Frankfurt at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night. Anyone who ludicrously thought an upset could be on the cards was quickly sinking into their sofa mere minutes into the clash, with Die Roten seeing an effort cleared off the line and Robert Lewandowski uncharacteristically missing the ball entirely when only a tap-in was needed to bag his 45th of the season.

UEFA had confirmed that the club were to be banned from the competition for the next two seasons over Financial Fair Play breaches back in February.
