  1. Keep dancing, Vini! Madrid star back to his best in 2026

    After all that followed it, it may have been forgotten just how good Vinicius Jr's goal to beat Benfica was last week. The Brazil winger has a fine catalogue for Real Madrid, but this was surely among the best. Vinicius cut inside before using the outline of a defender to shape his shot into the top corner. It was a truly wonderful moment of individual expression - one that absolutely should be celebrated.

  2. RANKED: How the Asian Cup & AFCON will effect WSL clubs

    The Women's Asian Cup begins on March 1, kickstarting a month that will see two of the premier major tournaments in the women's game take place, with the Africa Cup of Nations kicking-off on March 17 after reverting back to a springtime slot following back-to-back summer editions. It means two thrilling continental championships will be decided over the course of the next few weeks, but the impact these tournaments will have on the continuing club competitions also promises to be fascinating, as teams across the women's game say goodbye to some of their best players for a few weeks.

  3. Lammens proving to be one of EPL's best recent bargains

    Manchester United's 1-0 win at Everton was the perfect showcase for the recruitment team. The goal was the work of the three summer signings: started by Matheus Cunha, packaged by Bryan Mbeumo and clinically dispatched by Benjamin Sesko. The lead was then protected by the man who is proving to be United's best signing of the last year and looks like their best hire for many years: Senne Lammens.

  4. Unsung O'Reilly becoming a key figure for City & England

    Manchester City hoped, and may even have expected that a midfielder called Nico would transform their fortunes during the second half of last season. The man that has become key to Pep Guardiola’s side’s mid-season surge and made them contenders to pull off the quadruple is not, however, the gangly Nico Gonzalez, who was recruited from Porto for £50 million last January, but rather academy graduate Nico O’Reilly, who cost nothing at all.

  5. How Gordon found himself chasing Mbappe in UCL goal charts

    Anthony Gordon's 2025-26 Champions League campaign is the greatest by any English scorer for an English club in the competition's history. That's a fact. With his four-goal haul for Newcastle in last week's 6-1 hammering of Qarabag, he broke the record for most goals scored by an Englishman for a Premier League side in a single Champions League season, taking his tally to 10 from nine games. Not even Alan Shearer managed such a number in those famous black-and-white stripes.

The style of one, the strength of the other, blended into the perfect mix. Sixteen years on, and as a new generation rises in Catalunya, can Barcelona now become the sole heart of La Roja?

  1. FA punishes Chelsea and West Ham after melee

    The Football Association has officially handed out punishments to both Chelsea and West Ham United following an aggressive multi-player confrontation during their recent Premier League London derby. Tensions reached a breaking point at Stamford Bridge in a match that was already high on intensity, leading to scenes that the governing body deemed a bridge too far for professional conduct. The incident has resulted in significant financial hits for both capital clubs as the FA looks to crack down on mass confrontations.

  2. Leao breaks silence on devastating impact of Jota's death

    The footballing world remains in a state of mourning following the tragic passing of Diogo Jota and the void can be felt deeply within the Portugal national team dressing room. AC Milan superstar Rafael Leao has now spoken candidly about the "devastating" impact the loss has had on the squad as they prepare for life without the forward. Jota, who had recently secured the Premier League title with Liverpool, passed away in a car accident in Zamora, Spain, alongside his brother, after a tyre blowout caused their vehicle to veer off the road.

  3. Wirtz's agent still 'wishing' for Real Madrid transfer

    Florian Wirtz's agent has revealed that he called Xabi Alonso and asked him to take the Germany star with him to Real Madrid before he signed for Liverpool. Wirtz ended up joining the Reds instead in a deal worth £116 million ($156m). Alonso has since departed the Santiago Bernabeu, and been replaced by Alvaro Arbeloa, but the player's agent is still hoping he can go on and play for Los Blancos in the future.

  4. Barca eye Man City star as Alvarez alternative

    Barcelona’s recruitment drive continues at a relentless pace despite the looming presidential elections. Sporting director Deco and head coach Hansi Flick have already reached a consensus on which positions need strengthening for next season, and the acquisition of a marquee centre-forward has been marked as the club's top strategic priority. While the Blaugrana hierarchy are fully aware that the market for elite 'number nines' will be incredibly tight this summer due to a lack of available talent and inflated price tags, they remain determined to find the right profile to lead their line.

  5. Onana determined to take Man Utd No.1 spot back from Lammens

    Andre Onana reportedly wants to return to Manchester United and fight for the No.1 spot at the club once his loan deal with Trabzonspor expires at the end of the season. The goalkeeper was shipped out on loan after an error-prone time with the Red Devils and is facing an uncertain future. United have since brought in Belgian shot-stopper Senne Lammens, who has impressed between the sticks at Old Trafford.

Must-read opinion and expert analysis

  1. Spurs up next? Most shocking relegations in EPL history

    If they didn't know it beforehand, then Sunday's north London derby seemingly confirmed one thing for those watching on as Tottenham succumbed to Arsenal: Spurs are in a relegation battle. Igor Tudor was supposed to deliver a new-manager bounce after replacing Thomas Frank, but his side looked severely lacking in quality and, perhaps more importantly, belief as they went down 4-1 to the Gunners to leave themselves just four points above the drop zone with 11 matches to play.

  2. Terrible Tottenham ARE getting relegated!

    It was the most hotly-anticipated north London derby since their Champions League showdown of 2022. Arsenal, off the back of two hugely disappointing draws at Brentford and Wolves, suddenly had reason to fear entering the den of rivals Tottenham. Spurs, in theory, were about to be buoyed by a 'new manager bounce' brought about by the appointment of Igor Tudor as head coach, who replaced the unpopular Thomas Frank.

Serie A

  1. Kalulu shrugs off Inter red card drama

    Juventus defender Pierre Kalulu has finally spoken out about the storm that followed his controversial dismissal during the Derby d'Italia. The Frenchman was at the centre of a heated debate after receiving a second yellow card for a challenge on Alessandro Bastoni, a decision that many felt was harsh given the apparent lack of contact.

  2. Juve set to hand Spalletti new deal and transfer power

    Juventus are moving swiftly to secure its long-term future under Luciano Spalletti. Despite a period of mixed results on the pitch, the hierarchy in Turin has seen enough to double down on the former Italy national team head coach. The message coming out of the Allianz Stadium is clear: Spalletti is the man to lead the Bianconeri restoration, and he is about to be rewarded with more than just a piece of paper. The tactician is currently locked into a deal that runs until the end of June, but the club are eager to rub out any uncertainty regarding his position before the current campaign reaches its climax.

  3. Juve eye Alisson despite talks with Vicario

    Juventus are preparing for a massive shake-up between the sticks this summer after losing faith in Michele Di Gregorio. The Bianconeri are reportedly scouring the Premier League for a high-profile replacement, with Liverpool’s Alisson Becker emerging as a shock target alongside Tottenham’s Guglielmo Vicario. While Di Gregorio arrived from Monza with high expectations, a nightmare run of form has left the Old Lady’s hierarchy convinced that a world-class upgrade is required to restore the club's traditional defensive solidity.

  4. USMNT star McKennie finally set to sign new Juve contract

    USMNT star Weston McKennie has, according to reports in Italy, finally agreed a new contract with Juventus. Fresh terms will bring transfer talk to the close, as the United States international has been heading towards free agency. It is claimed that the versatile midfielder’s new deal will see him become one of the top earners with Serie A heavyweights.

La Liga

  1. Barcelona issue hilarious response as referees admit VAR mistake

    The race for the Spanish league title has taken another dramatic turn off the pitch as the Spanish Referees' Committee (CTA) officially admitted that a crucial goal against Barcelona should never have stood. During Barca's shock 2-1 defeat to Girona at Montilivi on February 16, Fran Beltran netted an 86th-minute winner that left the Catalan giants fuming. The club's hierarchy and fans alike were adamant that Jules Kounde had been fouled in the build-up, and those suspicions have now been validated by the governing bodies in spectacular fashion.

  2. Dugarry: If Real don't want Mbappe, send him back

    Kylian Mbappe’s start to life at Real Madrid has been anything but smooth, but France legend Christophe Dugarry believes the criticism directed at the forward has reached levels of absurdity. Since his high-profile move to the Santiago Bernabeu, the former Paris Saint-Germain star has found himself under the microscope as Los Blancos struggle for consistent form. However, Dugarry has leaped to the defence of his compatriot, suggesting that the finger-pointing at the superstar is a convenient distraction from deeper issues within the squad.

  3. Barca presidential candidate insists Kane is 'interested' in transfer

    Barcelona presidential candidate Xavi Vilajoana's camp have insisted that Harry Kane is "interested" in joining the club from Bayern Munich. Kane has been mentioned as a potential transfer target during the election campaign, with the striker yet to agree a new contract with the Bavarian giants. Barcelona are thought to be in the market for a new centre-forward to take over from Robert Lewandowski, but Kane claims to have heard nothing from the club.

Transfers

  1. Simeone breaks silence on Griezmann to Orlando City rumours

    The curtain appears to be falling on Antoine Griezmann's second act at Atletico Madrid, as speculation regarding a move to Major League Soccer reaches a fever pitch. Despite being in a rich vein of form for the Colchoneros, the French World Cup winner is increasingly expected to call time on his career in the Spanish capital at the end of the current campaign. While his existing contract at the Metropolitano is technically valid until 2027, there is a growing sense within the club and the wider footballing world that his departure this summer is becoming an inevitability.

  2. Lewandowski sets goals target to secure Barca contract extension

    Robert Lewandowski is reluctant to leave Barcelona as a free agent and has reportedly set a goal target that will help him to earn a contract extension. The prolific Polish striker, who is now 37 years of age, is said to have a “very good” offer on the table from MLS side the Chicago Fire. He is ready to delay any move to the United States and remain in Catalunya.

  3. Laporta confirms Barca snubbed €250m Yamal bid

    Former Barcelona president Joan Laporta has confirmed that the club turned down a staggering world-record transfer offer for teenage sensation Lamine Yamal. Speaking at the launch of his new book, titled 'This Is How We Saved Barca), Laporta revealed that Paris Saint-Germain were prepared to pay €250 million to lure the youngster to the Parc des Princes.

  4. Barca ready for Haaland or Alvarez swoop!

    Barcelona are reportedly preparing to shake the foundations of the European transfer market as they ready themselves for a monumental swoop. The Catalan giants, who have spent several seasons navigating a complex financial labyrinth, are now being linked with audacious moves for Manchester City’s goal-machine Erling Haaland and Atletico Madrid star Julian Alvarez.
