  1. 'Barcelona were lucky' - Atletico star fumes at red card

    Barcelona have taken a massive step towards the La Liga title after a dramatic and controversial evening at the Metropolitano saw them secure a late victory over Atletico Madrid. The result moves Hansi Flick’s side seven points clear at the summit, but Atletico goalkeeper Juan Musso did not hold back in his post-match assessment after he felt the game was fundamentally altered by the officials, particularly regarding the red card shown to a team-mate.

  2. Rosenior hails captain Palmer amid Fernandez drama

    Chelsea found a measure of calm on the pitch with a comprehensive 7-0 victory over Port Vale in the FA Cup quarter-finals. However, one of the biggest talking points before kick-off was the presence of Cole Palmer with the captain’s armband. Head coach Liam Rosenior has lauded Palmer’s burgeoning leadership qualities after appointing the forward as captain for the first time, with the club navigating a disciplinary storm involving Enzo Fernandez.

  3. Norgaard tears into Arsenal players for 'very stupid' goal

    Christian Norgaard has hit out at his Arsenal team-mates following their shock 2-1 FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Southampton, labelling their defensive lapse for the winning goal as "very stupid". The Gunners saw this season's hopes of a domestic trophy vanish at St Mary's as the Championship side executed a perfect giant-killing to dump the Premier League leaders out of the competition.

  4. Slot's time is surely up after another shameful showing

    Pep Guardiola insisted last month that Real Madrid were not his biggest rivals during his time at Manchester City, instead giving that particular honour to Liverpool. He did at least clarify that he meant Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool, which is just as well after Arne Slot's Reds failed to cause Guardiola any stress while he watched his side run out 4-0 winners in Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final from the comfort of his seat in the stands.

  5. Rosenior ready to 'move forward' with Fernandez

    Despite the uproar surrounding Enzo Fernandez's recent disciplinary issues and the outspoken comments from the player's agent, Chelsea coach Liam Rosenior adopted a conciliatory tone. The Argentine midfielder was seen at Stamford Bridge supporting his teammates during their emphatic FA Cup victory over Port Vale, a gesture that did not go unnoticed by his manager.

  6. Szoboszlai warns of Liverpool 'disaster'

    Dominik Szoboszlai has delivered a scathing assessment of Liverpool’s current form, labelling their campaign "catastrophic" following a demoralising 4-0 defeat to Manchester City. The Hungarian midfielder pulled no punches after the FA Cup quarter-final exit, warning his team-mates that they risk disappearing from Europe’s elite competitions if things don't change immediately.

  7. Kompany baffled by Gnabry's Goretzka shorts

    Bayern Munich's dramatic late victory over Freiburg sparked wild celebrations among the players, but it was Serge Gnabry who stole the headlines with a truly bizarre fashion choice. The German international was spotted jubilantly wearing a pair of fans' shorts that featured the face of team-mate Leon Goretzka printed all over them.

  8. Never write off Lewandowski! Barca tighten grip on title race

    Barcelona moved one step closer to defending their La Liga crown as Robert Lewandowski came off the bench to net a late winner in Saturday's 2-1 victory over 10-man Atletico Madrid. Marcus Rashford had earlier got himself on the scoresheet for the Blaugrana as they moved seven points clear of Real Madrid at the top of the table following Los Blancos' loss to Mallorca earlier in the day.
