Ronaldo to play his first game for Real Madrid this season against Barcelona

By

The news of Christiano Ronaldo  leaving Madrid had cooled off, and it is almost certain the Portuguese player will be available for Madrid this coming season.

Ronaldo, who didn't travel to USA with the rest of the squad, for the preseason tour will likely play his first game for Real against Barcelona in the Spanish super cup.

This also mean he may miss the champions league super cup against his formal team Manchester united on 8 Aug in Skopje.

This is so, because Zidane will like him to train 10 days minimum before involving in any competitive game to avoid what happened at the beginning of the just concluded season.

Ronaldo will link up with the rest of the team at Real Madrid training complex when they return from the States.

Abramovich move to settle rift between Conte and David Luiz

By
Image
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is investigating whether there is a growing problem between manager Antonio Conte and the players. The Russian billionaire is increasing his involvement in the day-to-day running of the club following the resignation of technical director Michael Emenalo on Monday. According to Sportsmail, Abramovich visited Chelsea’s Cobham HQ last week, and has already made enquiries over the relationship between Conte and his squad. Having fallen out with Diego Costa last season before selling him in the summer, question marks are being raised over Conte’s relationship with David Luiz. The Brazilian was axed from the squad that beat Manchester United on Sunday. Despite Conte’s insistence that the decision was tactical, it is understood the axe came after Luiz questioned the Italian in training last week. But while Abramovich is not questioning Conte’s handling of the Luiz situation, the latest stand-off has raised concerns of a rift between the manager and

Angry Messi tells Barca to Drop Andre Gomes

By
Image
Gomes has endured a difficult first season at Barcelona since signing from Valencia in the summer. But despite his erratic displays, manager Luis Enrique continues to persist with him. His selection is said to be causing frictions in the dressing room with Messi particularly annoyed. And Spanish outlet DiarioGol claim the Argentina international has demanded Gomes be dropped with immediate effect. Messi and fellow forwards Neymar and Luis Suarez are said to be appalled at Enrique's faith in Gomes. They believe their failure to hit top form is down to the 23-year-old lacklustre displays in the middle of the park. The midfielder's inclusion has come at a price with Ivan Rakitic forced to settle for a place on the bench. And Rakitic is now being Linked with a move to Real Madrid having grown tired of life out in the cold.

David Silva, believes Man City will challenge for more silver wares next season under Guardiola

By
Image
David Silva believes the improvements Manchester City have made under Pep Guardiola will provide a platform for major success next season. Guardiola took charge at the Etihad last summer after his contract at Bayern Munich came to an end and although City will end the season trophyless, Silva feels there have been significant enhancements that stand them in good stead ahead of the new campaign. The Spaniard says Guardiola is in the process of altering the mentality of the players - as well as the style the team plays - and believes next season will see City challenge for multiple trophies. “For me, it's been a good season, but when you don't win trophies, you feel a little bit disappointed,” he said. “We are here to win trophies. It's Pep Guardiola's first season, he is changing some ideas of football and the way of play, it suits us well. “We are doing something for the near future and I think we are achieving it little by little. “We had good games at home again

Diego Simeone close door on signing Barcelona flop

By

El   Cholo    Simeone is very clear: wants no part of a Barca player to have put on a plate to Atletico Madrid.  The door is completely and completely closed by him. It is not, on this occasion, an Arda Turan who left the rojiblanco team in the summer of 2015 to look for new challenges in the Camp Nou and that, in the end, has crashed in his adventure as a Barça player.  Not much less. Although, yes, you can be sure that your image is just as maligned as the Turkish player's. Neither have managed to win the Barcelona fans with their game. And they are to blame themselves. After all, the azulgrana entity scratched his pocket based on good to sign them. Jorge Mendes, the agent of André Gomes, already has very clear that his represented begins to have the days more than counted in the Barça. That is why it is moving around Europe, to try to find a way out. Of course, he has also knocked on the door of Atlético de Madrid, but  Cholo    Simeone has been tremendously blunt with hi

Bayern Munich humiliates Arsenal 5-1 at Emirates

By
Image
Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski eliminated all Arsenal hope when he won and converted a penalty kick in a 5-1 win in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 match-up at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday. Arsenal had gone ahead 1-0 through Theo Walcott , but still trailed 5-2 on aggregate, when  Laurent Koscielny tripped up Lewandowski in the box. Koscielny was shown red. The final score was 10-2 on aggregate, and the 5-1 home loss was the worst home blowout in Arsenal’s European history. A couple of chances went by the wayside before Arsenal went in front through Walcott. Bayern keeper Manuel Neuer was prepared for a low shot, and Walcott ripped a high attempt that Neuer could only parry into the goal. Arturo Vidal fouled  Hector Bellerin  in nodding a cross at  David Ospina , as Bayern looked for a quick answer. Walcott had a very similar chance from a tighter angle, and blasted the contested shot off the outside of the net. Robert Lewandowski missed a 38th m

Leicester city the only English Club to reach UCL Q/Final after Man City 3-1loss to Monaco

By
Image
Manager Pep Guardiola named an attacking line-up for the second leg of the last-16 tie but that backfired as Monaco overturned a 5-3 deficit to win on away goals after a 6-6 aggregate draw. First-half goals from Kylian Mbappe and Fabinho put the Ligue 1 leaders ahead and although Leroy Sane hit back for City, Tiemoue Bakayoko sealed victory with a header 13 minutes from time. City were lacklustre on the night and Monaco made light of the absence of Radamel Falcao, scorer of two goals in the pulsating first leg, with a hip injury. Guardiola perhaps got his selection wrong by naming the in-form Yaya Toure on the bench. With Fernandinho the only specialist central midfielder on the field, City were unable to make any impression in that area and Monaco came at them in waves. That early pressure was quickly rewarded as Mbappe, who had already forced Willy Caballero to make one save, opened the scoring in the eighth minute. City's defence were cut open as Benjamin Mendy drove in a

Arsenal miss out on top 4 for the first time in 21 years despite 3-1 win over Everton

By
Image
Needing slip-ups from either Liverpool or Manchester City on the final day of the season to have any chance of a top-four finish, Arsenal took an eighth-minute lead through Hector Bellerin. They did suffer a setback when Laurent Koscielny was sent off for a late lunge on Enner Valencia in the 14th minute, ruling him out of the FA Cup final, but doubled their lead through Alexis Sanchez in the 27th minute. Everton, who started with Ross Barkley on the bench, pulled a goal back through Romelu Lukaku's penalty after Rob Holding handled in the penalty area. But the Gunners, who lost Alexis Sanchez to injury in the 68th minute, secured victory thanks to Aaron Ramsey's injury-time strike. Arsenal's victory was in vain though in terms of Champions League qualification as Liverpool cruised to a 3-0 victory at home to relegated Middlesbrough, while Manchester City hammered Watford 5-0. It means a first finish outside the top four for Arsenal during Arsene Wenger's tenure at
