Wesley Sneijder has thrown his weight behind Jose Mourinho as the man to steady the ship at Real Madrid, claiming the Portuguese tactician is the perfect figure to manage a dressing room full of superstars. The former Madrid midfielder believes the Special One's unique man-management skills are exactly what the club needs as rumors of a sensational return to the Bernabeu intensify.

Pep Guardiola has backed Jeremy Doku to become one of the premier wingers in world football, placing him in the same bracket as Vinicius Junior and Lamine Yamal. The Belgian forward has hit a purple patch at the perfect time for Manchester City, finding the net in three consecutive games as the Premier League title race nears its conclusion.

Barcelona star Gavi has opened up on his fiery confrontation with Vinicius Junior during Sunday's decisive Clasico at Camp Nou. The midfielder played a key role as the Blaugrana secured a 2-0 victory to clinch the La Liga title, but the match included several high-tension flashpoints between the two rivals.

Vinicius Junior ensured the Barcelona faithful knew exactly who remain the kings of the Champions League despite Real Madrid suffering a painful Clasico defeat on Sunday. As Los Blancos struggled to a 2-0 away defeat to their arch-rivals, the Brazilian winger took it upon himself to silence the jeering home crowd with a pointed reminder of the trophy cabinet in the capital.

During the Clásico, which ended in a 2-0 defeat to the newly crowned champions FC Barcelona, Vinicius Junior was provoked into making a provocative gesture.
