News Writer📝Bio: Soham has been living and breathing football stories for almost a decade, carving his path as a news and SEO writer with an instinct for the big moments. Armed with an MA (Honours) in Sports Journalism from Symbiosis International University, he knew early on that his future wouldn’t be on the pitch but behind the pen, shaping narratives about the game he adores. He joined GOAL in 2017 and has since made his mark covering the Indian Super League, I-League, and the Indian national team. Based in Kolkata, where football is a religion, he grew up watching Bhaichung Bhutia scoring goals for fun in India, before falling head over heels for Real Madrid, a club that now dictates the rhythm of his everyday life.⚽My Football Story: It all began back in 2002. A cricket bat in hand, ready to step out, but then the skies opened up. The rain kept me indoors, and that twist of fate led me to the sofa, beside my father, who had a football match on TV. Little did I know at the time but it was the World Cup final: Brazil vs Germany. Forget the goals – what grabbed my imagination was Ronaldo’s haircut and his iconic celebration. From there, cricket slowly faded and football fever took over. By my teenage years, I was sneaking out of bed at 1am to watch the Champions League - fair to say I was hooked for life.

🌟Favourite Footballing Memory: The day Mohun Bagan demolished East Bengal 5-3 in the Kolkata Derby, with Chidi Edeh scoring four - a moment when the city turned maroon and green. But nothing beats the spine-tingling sight of Sergio Ramos’ 93rd-minute header in Lisbon, the goal that crowned Real Madrid’s La Decima and etched itself into footballing history.📝My All-Time XI: Iker Casillas; Phillip Lahm, Sergio Ramos, Fabio Cannavaro, Roberto Carlos; Claude Makélélé, Ronaldinho, Zinedine Zidane; Cristiano Ronaldo, Raúl, Lionel Messi.

    Rangers have been deemed "too small" for Jose Mourinho as the ex-Chelsea & Manchester United boss has been urged to return to England and chase a fourth Premier League title. Mourinho is once again at a crossroads in his storied career after being dismissed by Fenerbahce just 14 months into the role. The Turkish giants pulled the trigger following a crushing 1-0 Champions League play-off defeat to Benfica, a result that ended their hopes of dining at Europe’s top table this season.

    Everton Women have pulled off one of the boldest moves of the summer, breaking their transfer record to prise Ruby Mace away from Leicester City. While the club haven't disclosed the exact figure, reports speculate that the deal dwarfs the £100,000 bid Everton saw turned down earlier in the window.

    Chelsea’s Women’s Super League title defence has been rocked before a ball has even been kicked as star striker Mayra Ramirez will miss the start of the campaign after undergoing hamstring surgery.

Looking visibly distraught, she was forced off and replaced by Chloe Sarwie.

  2. Alleged Boehly quotes blasting Sancho rubbished as 'completely fake'

    Quotes attributed to Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly accusing ex-Manchester United loanee Jadon Sancho of sleeping all day and missing training have been rubbished as "completely fake". The Blues dramatically refused to make Sancho's loan move permanent in the summer despite having a £25 million ($34m) obligation to buy him. Instead of committing to the deal, the Blues chose to fork out a £5m penalty to United to escape the clause.

  3. Pedro insists flying start to life at Chelsea is 'just the beginning'

    Chelsea’s newest sensation Joao Pedro has wasted no time in proving exactly why the club splashed out a colossal £60 million ($81m) for his signature. The 23-year-old forward, one of five attacking reinforcements signed this summer, has lit up Stamford Bridge with his eye-catching performances and electric finishing so far. Already adored by the fans, Pedro insists this blistering start is 'just the beginning' of what he promises will be a special chapter in his career.

    Wrexham’s fairytale return to the Championship has been rocked by a gutting injury to hometown hero Danny Ward, who is set to go under the knife on Friday after dislocating his elbow in a sickening collision. The 32-year-old shot-stopper, who only rejoined the club this summer following his Leicester City exit, crashed to the turf during a bruising clash with Millwall at The Den. Although Wrexham went on to secure a gritty 2-0 win, Ward’s injury marred the victory.

  5. Salah caught off guard by Liverpool fans during Jota tribute

    Liverpool overcame Bournemouth 4-2 in their season opener, yet the result paled in comparison to the scenes that unfolded at the final whistle when Mohamed Salah, usually the picture of composure, broke down in front of the Kop. The club and its supporters were still reeling from the tragic death of Diogo Jota and his brother, Andre Silva, and their passing cast a painful shadow over Anfield.

  6. Another Man Utd flop?! Leeds & Sunderland backed away from Lammens

    Manchester United have unveiled Senne Lammens as their newest recruit in a deal worth up to £21.7 million ($29m), but reports have revealed that Leeds and Sunderland had backed away from him over concerns of his suitability in the Premier League. United could have opted for proven Premier League quality in Aston Villa’s World Cup-winning Emi Martinez, yet the Old Trafford hierarchy instead banked on the promise of a 23-year-old.
