PSG hold a narrow 1-0 advantage after Ousmane Dembélé’s first-leg strike at the Emirates, but Enrique dismissed suggestions that his squad is vastly superior to Mikel Arteta’s side. “I don’t see any one line of our team as clearly better than Arsenal’s,” the Spaniard said in his pre-match press conference. “What makes us strong is our collective approach, regardless…

Davide Frattesi’s extra-time heroics sealed Inter Milan’s place in the Champions League final after a pulsating 4-3 victory over Barcelona at the San Siro, with the Nerazzurri progressing 7-6 on aggregate in a match that will go down as an all-time classic. Just as Barcelona seemed destined for Munich—thanks to Raphinha’s 87th-minute strike—Inter’s Francesco Acerbi delivered a dramatic equalizer deep into stoppage time, nodding in Denzel Dumfries’ cross to send the tie to extra time. Frattesi then etched his name into Inter folklore with a sublime curling effort to complete an unforgettable comeback. The hosts stormed into a commanding first-half…

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has dismissed the idea that winning the Europa League would salvage what he describes as a “disastrous” season, insisting the club’s problems run much deeper than a single trophy. United face Athletic Bilbao in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final on Thursday, with victory in the competition offering a direct route into next season’s Champions League. However, Amorim remains adamant that even European success would not mask the team’s ongoing struggles. Currently languishing in 14th place in the Premier League, United’s only hope of securing continental football next season rests on lifting the…

Marcus Thuram and Denzel Dumfries made a triumphant return to action, reigniting Inter Milan’s attack in a pulsating 3-3 draw against Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League semifinal on Wednesday. After a three-match winless streak without scoring—Inter’s worst run in over 13 years—the Nerazzurri rediscovered their attacking spark, thanks to the influential duo.

Despite a narrow 1-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final, Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya remains optimistic about his team’s chances of staging a comeback in Paris. Ousmane Dembélé’s first-half strike separated the two sides at the Emirates, with PSG’s Gianluigi Donnarumma making several key saves to deny the Gunners. Raya, meanwhile, stood firm against efforts from Désiré Doué, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Marquinhos to keep the deficit at just one goal. Though the result leaves Arsenal with a tough challenge in the second leg, Raya praised his teammates’ resilience and insisted they can still…

The Gunners boss believes a depleted squad made the difference in their Champions League semi-final first-leg loss. Mikel Arteta has attributed Arsenal’s 1-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semi-final to their extensive injury list, contrasting it with PSG’s fully fit squad. Ousmane Dembélé’s first-half strike proved decisive at the Emirates, leaving Arsenal with a tough task in next week’s second leg in Paris. The performance was a far cry from their dominant 2-0 victory over the French champions in the group stage earlier this season. When asked about the stark difference in both teams’ displays, Arteta emphasized…

Marcus Rashford may have played his final game for Aston Villa this season after suffering a hamstring injury that could sideline him for the remainder of the campaign.

The 26-year-old forward, who joined Villa on loan in January, is set for a scan to determine the severity of the issue. While there is a slight chance he could recover in time for Villa’s penultimate Premier League match…

His impressive performances in his debut top-flight season have attracted interest from several clubs, with United and Chelsea now poised to make their move. Ipswich’s fate was sealed following a 3-0 defeat to Newcastle, confirming their immediate return to the Championship. While manager Kieran McKenna has expressed hope…

Arne Slot described Liverpool’s Premier League title victory as an “unreal” achievement after his side secured the trophy with a dominant 5-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur. The Dutchman also revealed the heartfelt reason behind his decision to honor predecessor Jurgen Klopp during the celebrations. The Reds sealed their record-equaling 20th league title in style at Anfield, with goals from Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah, and an own goal from Destiny Udogie overturning Dominic Solanke’s early strike.
