Tuchel fumes as media questions his approach against RB Leipzig

PSG manager Thomas Tuchel locked horns with the media after they questioned his side's style of play in the UCL victory over RB Leipzig at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday night. It was a must-win game for the Ligue 1 champions and last season's UCL finalists if they were to keep their hopes of progressing to the next stage of the competition alive. Neymar was on hand to convert a penalty for the home side and it was the only difference between the sides as PSG adopted a defensive approach in order to defend their lead. The Ligue 1 champions were favorites on paper for progression to the next stage from the group after the draws were made. However, this hasn't been the case in the pitch. When Tuchel was told that his side could and should have done better, he was left furious. '...

Solskjaer not getting carried away by thrashing of Basaksehir

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is not getting carried away by Manchester United's 4:1 victory over Istanbul Basaksehir which enhanced their chances of making it to the UEFA Champions League round of 16. The Red Devils have already beaten Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig and are three points clear at the top of Group H. They lost on the last matchday against the Turkish outfit but redeemed themselves at Old Trafford on Tuesday night. The Red Devils will be sure of a place in the next stage with one point from the next two games, all thanks to the contributions of Bruno Fernandes with a brace, a penalty converted by Marcus Rashford, and a goal by Daniel James after coming on as a sub. A point doesn't seem like much but they'll welcome PSG to Old Trafford next week before traveling to Ger...

Edouard Mendy has come to stay, time up for Kepa

We can now say that Chelsea have a decent goalkeeper between the sticks and credit must be given to the folks that recommended the new towering shot-stopper to the Blues. Edouard Mendy has come to stay and I can confidently say Kepa Arizabalaga's time at Chelsea is officially up. It's shameful to say for a goalie that was a record signing for his position and also at Chelsea. The season started on a high for the Blues with a 3:1 win away to Brighton at the Amex. However, the Spaniard began from where he left off last season with inconsistencies and indecisions which cost the Blues last season and were sure to cost the Blues this season if they weren't addressed. Kepa Arrizabalaga played three games for the Blues in the Premier League before the unveiling of Edouard Mendy. RE...

Conte’s Inter Milan ready for final against Real Madrid

Real Madrid will be facing an Inter Milan side who'll consider the fixture as final when they meet in the UEFA Champions League at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza Stadium on Wednesday night. Both sides occupy the bottom two positions in their group with Real Madrid on 4 points and Inter Milan on 2 points with 3 games played. The Los Blancos won the first leg between the two sides 3:2 and it was a hard-fought one as the La Liga champions lost a 2 goal lead in the game at the Bernabeu before Rodrygo scored the winner. Inter Milan are yet to win in this season's UCL competition and need a win on Wednesday to give themselves a fighting chance and keep themselves in good stead to qualify to the next round of the competition. Therefore, ahead of the game against a Real Madrid side that ha...

Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish, 25, is in the news for the wrong reasons after pleading guilty at Birmingham Magistrates' Court to two charges of careless driving as well as an offense connected to a crash during the coronavirus lockdown in March.

Regardless, the Argentine's latest comments will only serve to increase speculation of ...
