GOAL runs the rule over the British players earning a living away from their homeland, with plenty more stars deciding to leave the comforts of the United Kingdom in search of a better footballing life elsewhere.

Alexis Sanchez admitted the 'excitement overcomes me' as he helped Sevilla dismantle a poor Barcelona side at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.

After a turbulent summer of injury, captaincy drama, and questions over his future in Spain, Barcelona’s Marc-Andre ter Stegen is now at the centre of Premier League attention.

Are Bayern Munich the strongest side in Europe right now? They're certainly not far off it.

Marcus Rashford's stunning volley proved to be a consolation goal for Barcelona, who were hammered 4-1 in Seville.

Sergio Busquets has revealed that he could have continued playing alongside Lionel Messi at Inter Miami in MLS, but has chosen not to.

A break from football is being planned, but he could return to the dugout at some point in the future.

Barcelona legend Xavi has explained why Lamine Yamal was beaten to the 2025 Ballon d’Or by Paris Saint-Germain forward Ousmane Dembele. One exciting forward that used to grace the books at Camp Nou pipped one that is starring in the present to the title of best player on the planet. Dembele fended off the challenge of teenage wonderkid Yamal to collect the first Golden Ball of his career.

Pep Guardiola has laughed off reports linking Erling Haaland with a move to Barcelona, insisting the striker is "not stupid enough" to consider leaving Manchester City after signing a decade-long deal.
