News Writer📝Bio: Soham has been living and breathing football stories for almost a decade, carving his path as a news and SEO writer with an instinct for the big moments. Armed with an MA (Honours) in Sports Journalism from Symbiosis International University, he knew early on that his future wouldn’t be on the pitch but behind the pen, shaping narratives about the game he adores. He joined GOAL in 2017 and has since made his mark covering the Indian Super League, I-League, and the Indian national team. Based in Kolkata, where football is a religion, he grew up watching Bhaichung Bhutia scoring goals for fun in India, before falling head over heels for Real Madrid, a club that now dictates the rhythm of his everyday life.⚽My Football Story: It all began back in 2002. A cricket bat in hand, ready to step out, but then the skies opened up. The rain kept me indoors, and that twist of fate led me to the sofa, beside my father, who had a football match on TV. Little did I know at the time but it was the World Cup final: Brazil vs Germany. Forget the goals – what grabbed my imagination was Ronaldo’s haircut and his iconic celebration. From there, cricket slowly faded and football fever took over. By my teenage years, I was sneaking out of bed at 1am to watch the Champions League - fair to say I was hooked for life.

🌟Favourite Footballing Memory: The day Mohun Bagan demolished East Bengal 5-3 in the Kolkata Derby, with Chidi Edeh scoring four - a moment when the city turned maroon and green. But nothing beats the spine-tingling sight of Sergio Ramos’ 93rd-minute header in Lisbon, the goal that crowned Real Madrid’s La Decima and etched itself into footballing history.📝My All-Time XI: Iker Casillas; Phillip Lahm, Sergio Ramos, Fabio Cannavaro, Roberto Carlos; Claude Makélélé, Ronaldinho, Zinedine Zidane; Cristiano Ronaldo, Raúl, Lionel Messi.

  1. Rashford reveals strange new nickname from Barcelona team-mates

    Marcus Rashford has been given a strange new nickname at Barcelona that he doesn't understand, with the Manchester United loanee aiming to learn Spanish "as soon as possible". The 27-year-old attacker was part of the infamous “bomb squad” at Old Trafford alongside Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia – a group that Ruben Amorim deemed surplus to requirements. Barcelona swooped for Rashford last month, sealing a season-long loan that includes the option to buy him outright next summer.

  2. Napoli attempting to hijack Milan's move for Hojlund

    Rasmus Hojlund is in line for a reunion with Scott McTominay as Napoli are reportedly attempting to hijack AC Milan's move for the Manchester United striker. Antonio Conte had placed his faith in Romelu Lukaku to lead Napoli’s title defence, but that plan is in tatters after the Belgian powerhouse pulled up with a thigh problem in a pre-season clash with Olympiakos. The injury will rule him out for around three months, leaving Napoli scrambling to find a reliable replacement.

    Wrexham co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney touched down to witness Wrexham’s first home match in the Championship against West Brom in front of a packed-out SToK Cae Ras. The timing couldn’t be bigger. Just a week ago, Wrexham’s Championship debut ended in heartbreak at St Mary’s when Southampton stunned them with two stoppage-time goals to snatch a 2-1 comeback. Now, the club’s glamorous backers hope the team can bounce back with three points.
