Persiapan Real Madrid untuk laga besar Liga Champions melawan Manchester City semakin kacau. Meskipun klub sudah terguncang oleh absennya Jude Bellingham dan Kylian Mbappe, cedera baru yang dialami bek kiri Alvaro Carreras membuat manajer Alvaro Arbeloa menghadapi masalah serius di lini pertahanan. Pemain Spanyol itu kini diragukan tampil di leg pertama setelah mengalami cedera parah di betis kiri saat bertanding di kompetisi domestik.
Bayern Munich mendapat pukulan telak menjelang fase krusial musim ini setelah kabar bahwa kapten Manuel Neuer akan absen untuk beberapa waktu. Kiper senior tersebut mengalami cedera betis selama kemenangan 4-1 atas Borussia Monchengladbach pada Jumat malam, meninggalkan raksasa Bavaria tanpa kiper utama mereka untuk beberapa pertandingan penting.
Manajer Manchester City, Pep Guardiola, telah melontarkan kritik tajam terhadap jadwal kompetisi sepak bola Inggris, dengan klaim bahwa kompetisi piala domestik lebih diutamakan daripada kesuksesan di level Eropa. Manajer City merasa frustrasi karena timnya harus menghadapi Newcastle United dalam laga putaran kelima Piala FA pada pukul 8 malam (GMT) Sabtu, yang meninggalkan waktu pemulihan minimal sebelum bertandang ke markas Real Madrid pada Rabu.
Bayern Munich harus menunggu dengan cemas terkait kondisi kebugaran Harry Kane menjelang laga babak gugur Liga Champions melawan Atalanta. Kapten timnas Inggris itu absen dalam laga Bundesliga melawan Borussia Monchengladbach pada Jumat lalu, dan manajer Vincent Kompany memberikan update yang samar-samar mengenai ketersediaannya.
Antoine Griezmann telah memberikan pukulan telak bagi rencana transfer Orlando City dengan memutuskan untuk tetap bertahan di Atletico Madrid hingga akhir musim ini. Pemain internasional Prancis tersebut awalnya diharapkan akan pindah ke Major League Soccer pada bulan ini, namun daya tarik potensi gelar juara di ibu kota Spanyol telah meyakinkan penyerang senior tersebut untuk menunda impiannya di Amerika.
Real Madrid dikenai denda sebesar €15.000 dan penutupan sebagian stadion yang ditangguhkan setelah pertandingan Liga Champions mereka melawan Benfica. Sanksi ini diberikan setelah teridentifikasi adanya seorang pendukung yang melakukan salam Nazi selama pertandingan di Santiago Bernabeu.
What's the cheapest way to watch as much Premier League football a season?
Currently, the most cost efficient package looks to be picking up a TV deal through Virgin Media or EE TV.
Existing TV or broadband customers can add TNT Sports to Virgin Media for £12 per month and Sky Sports for £31.75 per month, adding on Amazon Prime Video for the few weeks in the season when they show football which is £8.99 per month.
EE TV (formerly BT TV) also provide their Big Sport deal which includes TNT Sports and Sky Sports via NOW TV, for £45 per month, which is available for existing broadband customers, with the addition of Amazon Prime Video for the few weeks in the season when they show football which is £8.99 per month.
However, when it comes to bang for your buck, if you’re wanting to spend a little less, then the Complete Sky Sports package from an additional £22 per month on top of your current Sky TV deal is the best option, giving you over 128 games across a single season.
