UEFA has launched a pioneering public platform called 'Clearline' to explain VAR decisions directly to supporters and football stakeholders. The new digital guide aims to demystify controversial refereeing interventions in the Champions League by outlining standardised criteria for penalties, red cards, and offsides.
The England international is set to join the Red Devils' pre-season camp with a view to becoming a key member of the team again, but that decision should not be taken lightly
The former Manchester City man is set to join up with Luis Enrique's back-to-back European champions, and will once again face intense competition for a starting berth
Here you can find out where you can watch Manchester City live and in colour in the Premier League, Champions League and the domestic cup competitions.
UEFA has refused to back down in its explosive stand-off with FIFA, despite a public apology from Gianni Infantino. European football's governing body maintains that its member nations could still boycott the World Cup and other major tournaments following the controversial FIFA Forward Enterprises privatisation plot.
Gianni Infantino is facing explosive new allegations after leaked documents suggested he was involved in discussions to bring the European Super League under FIFA’s umbrella. While the broader football community opposed the breakaway project in 2021, reports indicate the FIFA president explored the possibility of branding the competition as the "FIFA Super League."
The Red Devils must get moving in the transfer market after a quiet start to the summer, or else they risk falling well behind their main rivals once again
Alejandro Garnacho has completed a move from Chelsea to Aston Villa, immediately taking a subtle swipe at the Blues' lack of top-tier European football. The Argentina international arrives at Villa Park on an initial loan deal as he looks to reignite a career that has stalled since his acrimonious departure from Manchester United.
France and Premier League legend Emmanuel Petit has brutally crushed Harry Kane’s hopes of winning the Ballon d'Or, claiming the striker "disappeared" when things got tough for both club and country. The former midfielder argued that despite Kane's heavy goalscoring metrics in Germany, his failure to show up in the critical knockout matches of the Champions League and the 2026 World Cup leaves him trailing behind Europe's elite.
Karim Adeyemi has officially joined the Hansi Flick project at Barcelona, arriving as the club’s second high-profile signing of the summer following Anthony Gordon. The Germany international has wasted no time in setting his sights on Champions League glory while offering a fascinating perspective on his new team-mate Lamine Yamal.
Luka Modric is not ready to hang up his boots just yet, with the Croatian legend set to sign a one-year contract extension at AC Milan. The veteran midfielder remains determined to bow out at the very highest level after a frustrating end to the previous campaign.
Arsenal have ended their long wait for Premier League title glory, with ‘Invincibles’ squad member Jeremie Aliadiere telling GOAL that Champions League success will now become more of a priority for the Gunners. Mikel Arteta’s side reached the final of that competition last season, but north London is still waiting on a historic first European Cup triumph.
Kylian Mbappe will have been left “devastated” and “fuming” at his trophy failings with Real Madrid and France, Jeremie Aliadiere has told GOAL, with the ‘Galactico’ forward desperate to emulate Cristiano Ronaldo in the Champions League-winning department. That prestigious European prize has remained elusive to a man who is now the all-time leading goalscorer in World Cup history.
With the Lionel Messi-Cristiano Ronaldo duopoly presumably disappearing into the rearview mirror, the battle for the Ballon d'Or hasn't felt so open for the best part of 20 years, with countless players now beginning each campaign believing they have a chance of claiming the most prestigious individual prize football has to offer. Ousmane Dembele emerged from a career plagued by injuries and inconsistencies to win the Golden Ball in 2025, and he was among a crowded field of contenders again in 2026.
Como president Mirwan Suwarso has outlined an audacious vision for the Serie A side, aiming to transform them into a major sports tourism destination.

Chelsea winger Jesse Derry is on the verge of completing a season-long loan move to Portuguese giants Sporting CP, shortly after agreeing a new contract at Stamford Bridge.
