'Didn't think it was reality' - Richards sets sights on impossible

  1. Messi kept quiet as Inter Miami settle for drab goalless draw

    Inter Miami were forced to settle for a frustrating scoreless draw with Nashville SC in the first leg of their CONCACAF Champions Cup last 16 tie. Neither side created much, and Lionel Messi was kept surprisingly quiet in a poor fixture between two sides that looked more eager not to lose. The two teams combined for just five shots on target over the course of 90 minutes.

  2. Valverde provides a masterclass - but will Vini miss prove costly?

    Federico Valverde turned in a Champions League performance for the ages, bagging a first-half hat-trick to lead Real Madrid to a comfortable 3-0 win in the first leg of their last 16 tie with Manchester City. The Uruguay international headlined a classic Madrid knockout performance, but a penalty miss from Vinicius Jr in the second half might have left the door open for a City comeback.

  3. How USWNT star Coffey can become 'unpredictable' at City

    Manchester City are on the brink of a first Women's Super League title since 2016, and a big reason for their incredible performances this season has been the midfield duo of Yui Hasegawa and Laura Blindkilde Brown. And yet, in January, the Cityzens got even stronger in that position when they added another truly world-class midfielder in United States star Sam Coffey, making a move that can have so many short- and long-term benefits.

  1. Iran hit back at Donald Trump over World Cup withdrawal row

    The Iranian football federation has issued a defiant response to Donald Trump after the United States president suggested their presence at the 2026 World Cup would be "inappropriate" for their own safety. Tensions have reached a breaking point following the commencement of military strikes in the region, leaving Team Melli’s participation in the upcoming tournament on American soil unlikely.

  2. McKennie lifts lid on USMNT dressing room characters & leaders

    Weston McKennie has told GOAL what leadership means to him, as a captaincy candidate with Juventus and the USMNT, while discussing the kind of characters that he likes to work alongside. The all-action midfielder is enjoying a productive 2026, with a new contract being signed in Turin, and is counting down the days to a home World Cup on American soil.

Expert Opinion & Analysis

  1. Why Bayern & more are tracking Anderlecht's towering teen

    Nathan De Cat is the next big thing to come out of Belgium - both figuratively and literally. At just 17 years old, the midfielder already stands at a towering six feet and three inches tall - and he still has plenty of growing to do. The latest gem to emerge from Anderlecht's famed youth system, his height isn't the only reason he's caught the attention of some of Europe's elite.

  2. Inside Chelsea's treble quest after dismal WSL title defence

    Chelsea’s season hasn’t gone to plan so far. After romping to a sixth successive Women’s Super League crown last year, going unbeaten through all 22 games to set multiple records, the Blues’ title defence has fallen incredibly flat. Sat nine points behind leaders Manchester City with six games to go, it’s simply not been good enough for a club with such high standards.

  3. Arteta turned his back on Pep & Wenger to embrace Moyes-ball

    The next stop on Arsenal's road to Premier League glory sees them return home and welcome Everton to the Emirates Stadium. It will be the first time that Mikel Arteta will take on his former side in N5 while they have been under the management of his former head coach when he was a player for them, with David Moyes leading the Toffees' charge for a European place.

  1. Turmoil & luck: How to build a Premier League record breaker

    James Milner has told GOAL, in an exclusive interview, how “turmoil” and “luck” helped to mould him into a record breaker. The former Leeds, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Manchester City and Liverpool star, who is now on the books at Brighton, has made more Premier League appearances than any other player. How did he reach that point? The man himself explains.

  2. Umbro are kings of English football nostalgia

    Umbro are testament to carving out your niche. The storied British brand may have lost ground to sportswear powerhouses like Nike and adidas in the modern era - a result of limited finances and a hostile market - but they remain undefeated as purveyors of pure English football nostalgia. Their new 'Home' collection for spring/summer 2026 is another reflection of that fact.

  1. Retire or join Messi in MLS? ‘Truly massive’ Neymar future claim

    Neymar has hinted at injuries forcing him to retire at the end of 2026, but a fellow Brazilian is tipping the 34-year-old playmaker to make the “truly massive” call of joining Lionel Messi in MLS. Neymar previously worked with the Argentine GOAT at Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, with Kleberson telling GOAL why a reunion at Inter Miami remains a distinct possibility.

  2. Rakitic insists Messi 'deserves' proper Barcelona tribute

    Former Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic has called for the club to finally honour Lionel Messi with a fitting tribute, while expressing his hope that the Argentine superstar continues his career at the highest level for "a few more years". Speaking on his 38th birthday, the Croatian reflected on the impact his former team-mate has had on the sport, noting that Messi's influence transcends club rivalries and borders.

The 31-year-old Norwegian joins Gotham on an initial loan that will be made permanent after her contract at Chelsea expires this summer. She has a pre-contract agreement in place with Gotham that will keep her at the club until 2029.

  2. Who are the Lionesses' all-time top goalscorers?

    England's Lionesses have always had great goalscorers. Even before the team was the major contender it is now, winning back-to-back European Championships under Sarina Wiegman and reaching a first Women's World Cup final, they could boast some incredible attacking talent, with Arsenal icon Kelly Smith, widely considered the Lionesses' greatest ever player, a prime example.
