According to British tabloids, ex-Arsenal players Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Patrick Vieira could be involved in a consortium with the Spotify founder Daniel Ek and make a significant bid to oust Kroenke.  The Gunners, who are owned by Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, have recently found themselves in controversy over their involvement in the Super League project. Arsenal, along with five other English teams Manchester City, Manchester United Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur and six other European elite clubs, had come together to form the controversial tournament. But just 48 hours later, all of the Premier League teams withdrew and…

Despite going behind in the early half of the game, Barca responded in style and scored twice, both through Antoine Griezmann, picking up three massive points at the misery of the Yellow Submarines.

Right from the very beginning, Barca dominated the game with plenty of quick forward passes while creating lots of chances. In the 18th minute, Frenkie De Jong threw the opportunity to draw first blood after his shot from Jordi Alba’s pass was…

The League Cup final was arranged before 8,000 spectators and the City fans were delighted to see their club win the competition once again this year. Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City won the League Cup four times in succession as Aymeric Laporte’s header in the closing minutes marked the Cityzen’s deserving victory over a hard-working Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley on Saturday. The Manchester club were tagged favourites for the final, but Guardiola and his men had to toil till the 81st minute for a fruitful result. Laporte was already walking on thin ice with a yellow card earlier in the game…

Both these teams have won their previous domestic games, PSG with a resounding 3-1 victory over Metz and Manchester City lifted their fourth consecutive League Cup over Tottenham Hotspur, thanks to a header from Aymeric Laporte in the final.

The Egyptian forward has been thriving with extraordinary consistency with 123 goals in 198 appearances for the Reds thus far, and on Saturday he became the first Liverpool player to score 20 or more goals in a Premier League season three times. Mohamed Salah has established himself as one of Liverpool’s greatest in just four seasons with the Merseyside club. From Ian Rush to Luis Suarez with Robbie Fowler and Fernando Torres along the way, Anfield has witnessed the best strikers in their prime down the years, yet neither of them can match the outstanding heights of success Salah has…

The German forward won his club three points with a first-half goal against West Ham on Saturday and also ended his 14-game goal drought for club and country. Timo Werner had last scored in February and a goal against their London neighbours might just do his confidence a world of good before the Blues depart for Madrid in Tuesday’s Champions League semi-final first-leg clash with Zinedine Zidane’s side. In a bumper top-four clash against the Hammers, Chelsea knew they needed a win to stay in the Champions League race. And it was the perfect stage for a harshly criticized expensive…

The Liverpool manager warned that the new format will add extra pressure on the pre-existing heavy schedule. The controversial European Super League was announced last Sunday, with twelve major clubs pledging to be the founding members. In response, UEFA rebuked the tournament and released plans of a reformed Champions League the very next day. The ESL faced heavy wrath from football fans and governing associations and so just 48-hours after it saw daylight, the competition was suspended. Although nine of the twelve clubs pulled out after heavy condemnation, Real Madrid chief Florentino Perez stated that the ESL is currently “on…

The Polish striker has netted 42 times in just 36 games this season and has a contract at the Allianz Arena till 2023. But in a recent interview he revealed his desire to continue playing further. “I haven’t really thought about what will happen in three or four years. But I want to play for at…

The Roman outfit were thumped 5-2 by Napoli while the Rossoneri will arrive at the Italian capital after a gut-wrenching 1-2 loss to Sassuolo at home last week. However, both these teams will face lock horns on matchday 33 with a chance of continental football next season in mind. Hosts are competing for a place in the top-six place against city rivals Roma (7th) and sit in sixth with 58 points and a game in hand. The previous week started in an incredible manner for Lazio with the Biancocelesti handing Benevento a 5-3 defeat last Sunday, but things turned sour in their midweek league clash against…
