More than 3,000 people form the biggest Barcelona shirt

By

Barcelona, president, Josep Maria Bartomeu, participated in an event at Bryant Park in New York, between Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street, where a giant Blaugrana shirt was made with the help of supporters who had been waiting for hours to take part.

In addition to Bartomeu, Thierry Henry, Juliano Belletti and the president of the new shirt sponsors were also present.

According to the club, it was "around 12 o'clock when 3,330 participants, accredited by Guinness World Records, have raised the banners that shaped the biggest football shirt in history."

Before this event, Bartomeu had to take a flight to Barcelona to oversee signings that are about to materialise, and then met with New York Mayor Bill De Blasio, who was given a personalised home shirt, on Friday.

Sergio Ramos claims he will be 'back in no time' after the Real Madrid defender broke his nose in their derby draw with Atletico Madrid on Saturday. Zinedine Zidane's side had to play the whole of the second half without their captain as he was taken off at half-time after breaking his nose in a collision with Atletico's Lucas Hernandez. Following the goalless draw at the Wanda Metropolitano, Ramos took to Instagram to post some graphic and bloody photos of his nose, as well as showing his devotion to the club. The Spanish international wrote: 'I would bleed a thousand times for this badge and this shirt. Thanks for your support. I'll be back in no time #HalaMadrid'. It was another disappointing day at the office for both Madrid clubs on Saturday as the result has left them even further off the pace at the top of the La Liga table.

Hazard gives Zidane conditions that will make him sign for Real Madrid

By

Eden Hazard has never hidden his desire to sign for Real Madrid. A few wishes that the Belgian Chelsea star can finally turn into reality next summer. Zinedine Zidane has placed him again at the top of his list of requests to Florentino Pérez. The French coach does not want to know anything about names like those of Harry Kane or Paulo Dybala. In his opinion, Hazard adapts much better to his plans, it is more complete.  And, in addition, his arrival would not mean, in this case, the forced march of his compatriot Karim Benzema, a striker who has been criticized for his lack of resolving capacity to the satiety, but that enjoys the full confidence of his compatriot . The Belgian, however, has placed an unavoidable condition on the table at the time of closing, definitely, his signing for Real Madrid Florentino Perez: Hazard wants to be guaranteed an absolutely decisive role in the schemes of Zidane.  That is, he is not willing to force his arrival...

Lille OSC coach Marcelo Bielsa has decided to make a u-turn and recall Nigerian goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama back to the first team. The former Super Eagles skipper has been handed a lifeline by Bielsa following his return from a six month injury lay-off. Enyeama and 11 others were deemed surplus to requirements by Bielsa upon his appointment as coach of the French giants last summer, paving the way for them to leave the club. However, the 35-year old net minder couldn’t make a move as he was recuperating from the meniscus surgery he sustained towards the end of the previous campaign. Having fully recovered, the goalkeeper posted a video of himself back in training with the team for the first time in six months. Meanwhile the Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr has confirmed he has had positive talks on a return as the goalkeeper left the national team in controversial circumstances in 2016 ‎following a row with former coach Sunday Oliseh

Rival fans mock Manchester City supporters for their celebration after John Stones' goal

By

Manchester City 5-3 Monaco. One of  the  very greatest Champions League games of all time. Say what you like about some of the defending from both sides in the gripping encounter but some of the attacking play on display was utterly mesmerising. Each and every fan in the stadium was witness to an absolute classic and will be able to tell future generations: 'I was there'. Those watching at home will also look back on the game in the same way we talk about the Newcastle/Liverpool classics. But many of those were enjoying the match on television from a neutral standpoint were rather startled by the fact that City fans in the stands were decidedly unstartled. That's right - they found a way of mocking the Blues even on such a great night. After John Stones dramatically put the home side in the lead to make it 4-3, the camera panned across the fans behind the goal, and they were hardly reacting in a matter you'd expect. Instead of riotous goonage and limbs everywhere, th...

The Brazilian star shocked the football world by completing a sensational £198m move to the Ligue 1 giants, smashing the transfer record in the process.
