The Nerazzurri, who fell to Manchester City in last year’s final, held their nerve to eliminate the German giants 4-3 on aggregate, booking a semi-final showdown with Barcelona. Despite a late scare from Bayern—including a desperate shove on a ball boy by Josip Stanišić—Inter’s clinical finishing and resilience saw them through. Pavard, who…
The Arsenal star was involved in a tense altercation with the injured Real Madrid defender following a controversial first-half penalty. Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka found himself at the center of a fiery confrontation with Real Madrid’s Dani Carvajal during halftime of their Champions League quarter-final second-leg clash at the Santiago Bernabéu. The incident occurred after Saka’s audacious Panenka penalty was comfortably saved by Thibaut Courtois in the first half. As the players headed toward the tunnel, Carvajal—currently sidelined with an ACL injury—approached Saka, grabbing him by the neck before raising his hand aggressively. The two then engaged in a heated exchange,…
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has faced backlash for a pivotal substitution that many believe cost his team a chance at overturning their Champions League deficit against Paris Saint-Germain. After losing 3-1 in the first leg, Villa needed a heroic performance at home to keep their semi-final dreams alive. However, PSG quickly extended their aggregate lead with early goals from Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes, putting the tie seemingly out of reach. A spirited fightback saw Youri Tielemans, John McGinn, and Ezri Konsa score to bring Villa within striking distance, but Gianluigi Donnarumma’s brilliance in goal ensured PSG’s progression to…

Despite securing a 5-4 aggregate victory, PSG nearly squandered a commanding four-goal lead during Tuesday’s second leg. Early strikes from Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes had seemingly put the tie beyond doubt, but Villa’s relentless fightback left the French giants clinging on. Reflecting on the tense finale, Enrique admitted, “There was never a moment I thought we’d be eliminated, but for 10 minutes, we were under immense pressure. Villa pushed us like never before.” Gianluigi Donnarumma…
Arsenal are reportedly preparing a substantial €75 million bid for Barcelona’s Jules Koundé, as Mikel Arteta looks to bolster his defensive options ahead of the new season. The French international could provide crucial depth at center-back, offering competition for starters William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães, while also slotting in at right-back when needed. The Gunners’ hefty offer may force Barcelona to reconsider their stance on the 25-year-old, who has been a key figure for the Catalan club since joining in 2022. However, Arsenal could face stiff competition from London rivals Chelsea, who are also keen on reinforcing their backline under…
Scott McTominay’s brace on Monday night not only secured his status as Napoli’s key contributor but also underscored a glaring issue for his former club, Manchester United. The Scotland international, who joined the Italian side last summer for £25.7 million, has now made the 2024-25 season his most prolific yet—and his numbers make for uncomfortable reading at Old Trafford. Despite leaving Manchester, McTominay remains United’s joint-top league scorer this term with eight goals—a tally matched only by captain Bruno Fernandes. For a struggling Red Devils side that has managed just 38 league goals under Ruben Amorim, the 28-year-old’s success in…
Roy Keane didn’t hold back in his furious assessment of Manchester United’s latest collapse, delivering a blistering rant after their 4-1 thrashing by Newcastle. The former United captain, known for his no-nonsense punditry, tore into manager Ruben Amorim, captain Bruno Fernandes, and the entire squad, branding them “mentally weak” and “bluffers.” The Red Devils were outclassed at St. James’ Park, with Alejandro Garnacho’s first-half strike offering little consolation after Sandro Tonali’s opener and a Harvey Barnes double sealed their fate. Bruno Guimarães rubbed salt in the wounds with a fourth, exposing United’s shambolic defending—including a disastrous error from stand-in keeper…
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim offered no excuses after his team’s latest humiliation, this time at the hands of Newcastle, as he delivered a brutal assessment of their disastrous campaign. With 14 losses already this season and the club languishing in 14th place, United are now mathematically unable to avoid their worst-ever Premier League points tally—surpassing their previous low of 58. In a surprising decision, Amorim dropped first-choice goalkeeper Andre Onana for the Europa League clash against Lyon, but replacement Altay Bayindir struggled in a dismal team performance. Addressing the media after the match, the under-fire boss admitted: “This result sums…
Kevin De Bruyne has dropped a bombshell about his future, admitting he could remain in the Premier League after confirming his departure from Manchester City this summer. The Belgian playmaker, whose contract expires at the end of the season, revealed last week that he will leave the Etihad after a legendary 10-year spell. However, in a surprising twist, he has now hinted that a move within England remains a possibility. De Bruyne showcased his enduring class in City’s thrilling 5-2 comeback win over Crystal Palace on Saturday, scoring a stunning free-kick and providing an assist for Mateo Kovacic. After the…
Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli has voiced his frustration after a strong challenge from Brentford captain Christian Norgaard during their 1-1 draw at the Emirates Stadium, with many debating whether the tackle deserved a red card. The incident occurred in the first half when Norgaard lunged in with a two-footed challenge, bringing down the Brazilian winger. Despite the forceful nature of the tackle, the referee opted against sending off the Brentford midfielder—a decision that sparked debate among pundits and fans alike. Former Premier League midfielder Steve Sidwell weighed in on the controversy during Sky Sports’ post-match analysis, admitting that while the challenge…
