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...

Man City came from behind to beat Monaco 5-3

By

The first competitive meeting between Manchester City and Monaco will live long in the memory as the sides shared eight goals. Manchester City claimed a remarkable 5-3 victory over Monaco in an all-time Champions League classic at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday. The first competitive meeting between the two sides will live long in the memory after goals inside the final 13 minutes from John Stones – atoning for an earlier error – and Leroy Sane put City in command of the last-16 tie. Sergio Aguero and Radamel Falcao had scored two apiece – the latter also missing a penalty – while Raheem Sterling and Kylian Mbappe also got in on the act. Leonardo Jardim's side, who have scored over 100 goals in all competitions this season, will rue the moment Falcao squandered a chance to make it 3-1 from the spot, as City hit back. It was Sterling who opened the scoring 26 minutes in, but City quickly surrendered their advantage to Falcao's diving header following a p...

A.Madrid Progress despite Drawing goalless

By
Image
Last term's runners-up therefore became the third Spanish side into the last eight, along with Barcelona and holders  Real Madrid , giving LaLiga the most teams in Friday's draw. Had Bayer progressed, the Bundesliga would have held that honour. In an entertaining contest, Leverkusen created good chances, several for ex- Manchester United  forward  Javier Hernandez , but when they hit the target they found keeper Jan Oblak in unbeatable form, including with a scarcely-believable triple save. Similarly Bernd Leno pulled off some stunning stops. The Vicente Calderon, where Diego Simeone's side have a formidable European record, will therefore host at least one more  Champions League  tie before Atletico move to a new ground. The visitors had changed manager since the first leg, Tayfun Korkut replacing Roger Schmidt who was sacked after a 6-2 loss at Borussia Dortmund . Simeone had Fernando Torres available for the first time since the former Liverpool and Chel...
