Bologna impressed this season with their attacking football against top Serie A sides. The Red Blues are on the verge of making history, pushing for a top 4 finish. Such an achievement would see them playing Champions League football in the next season.
If the Scudetto battle seems to be already over with Inter dominating the race, the Champions League positions are still up for grabs. The Greyhounds sit 5th in the table, level on poin…
Mohamed Salah landed a bumper new contract through to 2025 and vowed to repay Liverpool s belief in him by firing Jurgen Klopp s Reds to more trophies.
Uncertainty over the Egyptian forward s future had lingered for months, with no clear sign of a breakthrough in negotiations between the club and the player s representatives until a deal was announced on Friday.
With Sadio Mane being allowed to leave for Bayern Munich since the end of last season, the importance of securing Salah was ramped up, and now the 30-year-old has confirmed he will stay at Anfield.
He could have walked away at the end of the 2022-23 season on a free transfer, had he not agreed to new terms, but that worrying prospect has been quashed.
With at least three years more to come of his…
According to , Bayern Munich have made Julian Nagelsmann their primary target to replace Thomas Tuchel in the Allianz Arena dugout this summer.
Despite taking over as the Germany head coach in September last year, the 36-year-old would apparently be prepared to leave the national team after the upcoming Euros in their homeland, in order to return to the club where he worked for just under two years, before his somewhat surprising sacking in March 2023. At the time, Bayern hired Tuchel to replace him, and it seems they ve come to regret their decision to do so, with Bayer Leverkusen ending the Bavarians 11-year domination in the German top flight this season.
Furthermore, the report denies recent suggestions from the Spanish media that Bayern had made contact with the re…
Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is set to return for the final stretch of the season after making a full recovery from two knee injuries, Carlo Ancelotti said.
Madrid boss Ancelotti said he will be cautious with Courtois, who has not played this season after sustaining an ACL tear in August and a torn meniscus in March.
Stand-in Andriy Lunin will start Friday s LaLiga match at Real Sociedad and Tuesday s Champions League semi-final, first leg at Bayern Munich.
However, Courtois should be back next week.
I have to think carefully about the lineup moving forward. There has been a lot of wear and tear. Courtois is fine, he will be available next week and could play against Cadiz, Ancelotti said in a press conference on Thursday.
Courtois s i…

He is one of the first names on the Leeds teamsheet and has been playing well for Daniel Farke’s side.

Market: Czech Republic win
Odds: 6/5 @
Looking to sign off their eye-catching March international break with another statement, the Czech Republic will travel to Montenegro on Tuesday evening.
Starting with the hosts, although Montenegro might have opened their EURO qualifying adventure with an impressive 1-0 victory away at Bulgaria on March 24th, it appears that might have just been a minor boost for the Falcons. Marking their return to international duties over the weekend as they had to settle for a 0-0 stalemate at home against Hungary, Miodrag Radulovic’s men have claimed just a single win from their previous seven appearances across all competitions. With that run highlighted by a 1-0 friendly defeat at the hands of Slovenia when signing off 2022, Monte…
Jose Mourinho hailed a win of huge importance after Tottenham overcame Brentford 2-0 to reach the EFL Cup final.
Moussa Sissoko and Son Heung-min were on target to see Spurs past their Championship opponents, who finished with 10 men after Josh Dasilva was dismissed for a challenge that left Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg with a gashed shin.
Tottenham have not won a piece of major silverware since lifting this trophy back in 2008 and it is a competition Mourinho has won four times.
The last of those came with Manchester United in 2017, with his former club taking on holders Manchester City in Wednesday s semi-final.
It s a game that takes us to a final. Probably, I hope not, but probably an empty Wembley final but a Wembley final, Mourinho told Sky Sports, castin…
Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne says the new approach to added time “doesn’t make any sense” and warns overworked players face up to 25 minutes being tagged on to some games.
Competitions around the world have been instructed to more accurately calculate time lost to stoppages this season, including goal celebrations and VAR checks.
Arsenal equalised in the 11th of 13 added minutes at the end of Sunday’s Community Shield against Manchester City and went on to win on penalties.
The change in approach follows a directive from the game’s lawmaking body, the International Football Association Board (IFAB), which believes it will lead to a reduction in time-wasting and an increase in effective playing time.
The move was largely positively receiv…
Louis van Gaal insisted it will only get better for the Netherlands after turning on the style in Tuesday s 6-1 World Cup qualifying win over Turkey in Amsterdam.
Memphis Depay scored his first international hat-trick and was joined on the scoresheet by Davy Klaassen, Guus Til and Donyell Malen in a dominant display from the Dutch.
The Netherlands opened the scoring inside 54 seconds and were three up with 38 minutes played, the fastest they have led 3-0 in a competitive match in a decade.
Turkey lost Caglar Soyuncu to a red card before half-time but profited from a mix-up at the back to add a late consolation through Cengiz Under, though it was still their heaviest defeat since losing 8-0 to England in 1984.
Oranje have won two and drawn one of their t…
Sean Dyche has conceded Everton are in a tough situation when it comes to Dominic Calvert-Lewin s future.
The striker, who joined Everton from Sheffield United in 2016, has less than a year remaining on his contract.
While a new deal is on the table, Calvert-Lewin – who played in Everton s 3-0 defeat to Brighton last week – is yet to put pen to paper.
And with just a week remaining in the transfer window and the club s finances tight, Dyche acknowledged Everton may have to cash in should an offer present itself.
Any offer of a certain level would have to be looked at by the club, said Dyche, who hinted the budget for any more incoming players was tight.
We are in a better position because of player trading and how much we have lowered the wa…
