Real Madrid beat Getafe 1-0 but lost Eduardo Camavinga in the second half to what looked like a knee injury just four days before the trip to the Etihad to face Manchester City.

The 20-year-old French international was important for Real Madrid in the first leg attacking from left back and he set up Madrid’s goal. If he is ruled out of the second leg David Alaba would move to left back and Eder Militao would return to the centre of defence to partner Antonio…

The achievement makes him a leading candidate to compete with Lionel Messi in the 2023 Ballon d’Or race. However,…

Revealed to The Sun, former Man United captain Solskjaer expressed regret when Man United made a mistake in the Haaland deal. “I contacted Manchester United about six months before I took over and asked them to sign a striker who was already in my sights . However, Man United did not obey. I asked Man United to spend £4 million on Haaland but they refused.

Frimpong told Lord Ping: “Sadio Mane would be a great signing for Arsenal, especially with the young players that we have.

Former player Dwight Yorke thinks that Erik ten Hag deserves criticism about MU’s performance, and defends De Gea when his position is threatened. People say that MU has played better under Erik ten Hag, the team that won the League Cup and is ranked 4th in the NHA. But it is a fact that MU has lost 9 matches in the Premier League this season, more than Ole Solskjaer’s losses in the 2019/20 and 2020/21 seasons. I know we are optimistic about the progress this season but the results are still not good compared to what Solskjaer has done. Ten Hag is a…

Valverde’s confidence is understandable, as the Uruguayan is familiar with Real Madrid’s legendary comebacks. Last season, Los…

The two marquee signings also featured as Manuel Pellegrini’s Madrid kicked off their 2009-10 campaign with a 3-2 home victory against Deportivo La Coruna. Benzema and the other star…

Two of the greatest players to ever do it, Thierry Henry and Paolo Maldini joined forces ahead of the Milan derby Champions League semi-final and gave us a pretty damn iconic exchange of words. When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, it’s normal to expect explosions. But in this case, what we got instead was a wholesome showing of appreciation between two of the very best. Ahead of a Champions League semi-final that couldn’t really ooze out anymore football ‘eritage if it tried, it did just that. Maldini – who now serves as Milan’s technical director after a glistening…

There’s enough blame at Manchester United again for the manager to take some of it. But Erik ten Hag ought to be absolved until he can say his squad is truly his own… With Erik ten Hag finally able to pause for breath, just as he feels Jurgen Klopp’s on the back of his neck, the Manchester United manager might reflect on some of his decisions during a frantic, manic second half of the season that has opened the door for Liverpool. Ten Hag has made mistakes. Just recently, the second halves of Sevilla at home and Tottenham away; the…

A genuine legend of the sport, Carlo Ancelotti has had the pleasure of managing a nauseating amount of genuinely elite footballers across his time with the likes of AC Milan, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, PSG and Real Madrid. Sorry, Everton. You’re not included in this. Thanks for that funny run in the 2020-21 lockdown season where you looked competent and actually exciting for a brief period under the Italian, but that’s as far as your involvement here goes. Frankly, even if by some divine miracle Ancelotti had managed to deliver success in the form of silverware or European football at Everton…

It only takes one serious injury or a dodgy loan spell to completely change a youngster’s trajectory. There have been numerous examples of teenagers that have garnered plenty of hype that they couldn’t possibly live up to. Here are nine Arsenal wonderkids that were predicted to make it at the very highest but have since…

Erling Haaland has laid waste to domestic and continental defences this season, scoring 50 goals and rendering opponents less relevant than firefighters trying to tackle King Kong – but Real Madrid’s Antonio Rudiger may have shown everybody how to stop him. As well as being an elite defender, Rudiger has carefully cultivated his reputation as the most peculiar guy in Christendom over the years. Whether it’s wearing socks on his ears, keeping an ant colony in his bedroom or using an actual World Cup game to stage his own Monty Python homage, the centre-back resorts to his own unique methods…
