Man City, winners in 2019, are now odds-on to win the 2020/21 Premier League after defending champions Liverpool confirmed that key defender Virgil van Dijk could be out for the rest of the season.

Secretary-General of the Arab League Ahmed Aboul Gheit has condemned Israel’s move to approve the construction of around 2,000 new housing units in the settlements of the occupied West Bank. In comments released on Thursday, Aboul Gheit noted that the resumption of illegal settlement activity comes despite the Israeli government’s claims that it is seeking peace in the region. The approvals remain a formidable obstacle to the implementation of a two-state solution to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, he said. “[The] Netanyahu government’s insistence on moving forward with settlement activity to satisfy the extreme right wing reflects its rejection […]
Considered as one of the best leagues in the world, the English Premier League is contested by 20 clubs. Teams play 38 matches each (playing each team in the league twice, home and away). The Premier League saw some shocking results late Sunday night, as the defending champion as well as the league’s most successful team, Manchester United, were both left humiliated.

A perfect season has ended in Bayern Munich becoming the first team ever to win a treble of domestic and European cups twice, seeing off a spirited and dangerous Paris Saint-Germain side to claim a sixth Champions League title. Eleven wins, a 500th goal in the competition and the trophy.

Routinely mocked over the quality of the French league, PSG have finally announced themselves on the Champions League stage this year. Can their revitalized team spirit and resolve help them to an unlikely victory in the final? The day after PSG’s 2-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in February, French daily newspaper L’Equipe awarded both Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, the club’s strike duo bought for a combined total of around $513 million, a derisive four out of ten for their performances. Both superstars had been comprehensively outshone by Erling Haaland, the then-19-year-old scorer of two goals in eight second-half minutes either side […]

Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren says no sports through the end of the year due to safety concerns. But… it’s ok for his son to play ball at Mississippi state. The Big Ten named Kevin Warren the Commissioner of the league last June. They probably didn’t see that this political hack would end all sports for the second half of 2020 when they did. Warren is supposed to oversee sports for the league, not kill them. Shortly after Warren took over the Big Ten in a job held by Big Ten faithful Jim Delaney who had 30 years with the league, […]

Neymar again pulled the strings as Paris Saint-Germain booked a place in the Champions League final for the first time in the club’s history with a 3-0 victory against RB Leipzig in Lisbon.

Despite spurning chances of his own, Brazilian star Neymar was excellent throughout, serving as […]
When Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig meet in their Champions League semifinal in Portugal on Tuesday it will send shivers down the spine of many footballing purists – but it is a match which shows much about the modern game. PSG and Leipzig have both reached the last four in Portugal on footballing merit, but Tuesday’s meeting at the Estádio da Luz in Lisbon is a contest which breaks new ground – and not necessarily to the benefit of the game. Beyond pairing the French champions with a team which finished third in the Bundesliga, PSG versus Leipzig is being billed […]
Barcelona have today sacked manager Quique Setien just days after his side’s humiliating 8-2 defeat against Bayern Munich, amid rumors that club’s current instability has led to prized asset Lionel Messi requesting a transfer. Setien, who was appointed as Ernesto Valverde’s successor in January, had a tumultuous spell in the charge of the Catalan giants, which his position mired almost immediately by reports that many of the first team playing squad were unconvinced by his leadership. The situation at the club degenerated post-lockdown, as Barca surrendered their La Liga crown to rivals Real Madrid and then suffered the historic Champions League […]
Barcelona’s talismanic playmaker Lionel Messi has reportedly demanded an immediate transfer from the Catalan club following the side’s catastrophic capitulation in the UEFA Champions League. Messi looked disinterested and demoralized as Barcelona were put to the sword 8-2 by Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarterfinals on Friday night. And while it is widely expected that head coach Quique Setien will be relieved of his duties early this week, it seems the disquiet at the Camp Nou has become too much for the Argentinian forward, who is thought to feel “isolated” after missing out on both the Champions League and the […]
Quique Setien’s brief reign in charge of Barcelona has already been ended following the most humiliating night in the Spanish giants’ history, according to sources reporting that Xavi or Mauricio Pochettino could replace him. Setien was a forlorn figure as Barca were crushed 8-2 by Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals at Lisbon’s Estadio da Luz, presiding over the worst defeat in Champions League history for the five-times winners of the tournament. There had already been serious doubts over the 61-year-old’s future after he led Barcelona to a distant second in La Liga, dropping points in four of their final ten matches […]

Real Madrid will be up against it when they face Manchester City in their Champions League last-16 second leg on Friday, and Zinedine Zidane’s team will likely need a fully-firing Eden Hazard to stand any chance of progressing. Though Zidane managed to win La Liga, taking advantage of Barcelona’s abundance of woes, there still seems to be somewhat of an uncertain feeling at the Bernabeu. There are fans who are convinced Real’s success was more as a result of Barcelona’s failures. Lionel Messi has been vocal about the fact his side aren’t performing to their usual standards. Real capitalized on that […]

Frank Lampard continued the spat that saw him tell a member of Jurgen Klopp’s staff to “f*ck off” during Chelsea’s loss at Liverpool, the Reds boss has said – and Klopp has claimed that he unfairly accused his team of “arrogance”. Lampard’s clean-cut image was damaged when the Chelsea coach was caught swearing at Pepijn Lijnders, Liverpool’s assistant manager, during his side’s eventful 5-3 defeat at Anfield on Wednesday, when he told Klopp to “have your party later on and f*cking give it the big one” ahead of the champions’ Premier League title ceremony. The angry row, in which Klopp told Lampard […]
