The story to perhaps one of the most lackluster and disappointing transfers of all time has come to an end.
On Saturday, June 3, Real Madrid announced that the club and Eden Hazard had come to an agreement to terminate his contract with immediate effect. Hazard will become a free agent as of June 30, 2023.
After losing last year’s UEFA Women’s Champions League final to Lyon, Barcelona redeemed themselves with a thrilling 3-2 comeback victory vs. Wolfsburg on Saturday to claim their second-ever UWCL crown.
The Barcelona players must of thought they were having déjá vu of last year’s final when they once again conceded early goals. Last time against Lyon the Catalan club got scored on in the sixth and 23rd minute.
On Saturday Wolfsburg scored in the third and 37th minute.
Many people see Diego Simeone as a villain: Dressed in black, with a resting tough guy face and always displaying tactics ready to ruin a night of "good football."
El Cholo, however, can be fun, playful and a little bit naughty.
Proof of this statement is his latest interview with the Spanish radio show "El Partidazo de COPE," where he spoke about different topics, including sex. Specifically about how much sex he is having and how much sex his players need to have to be part of his team.
Of course, all in a joking tone.
Julián Araujo se está ganando a la plantilla de FC Barcelona y también a sus aficionados. Todo sin siquiera haber disputado un minuto en cancha.
¿Cómo es eso? Gran parte del cariño hacia el joven mexicano se expresa en modo meme.
Araujo llegó al Barcelona durante el mercado de pases de invierno, sin embargo un error administrativo del LA Galaxy hizo que su registro llegara 18 segundos fuera de plazo, lo que le ha impedido defender la playera culé.
José Mourinho couldn’t keep his perfect record in European finals intact on Wednesday as his Roma side fell to Sevilla 1-1 (4-1 on penalties) in the Europa League final.
Mourinho has now won five of the six European finals he’s managed in.
Roma opened the scoring in the 34th minute through Paulo Dybala. The Argentine was a surprise start after missing the last seven weeks with injuries, most recently an ankle issue.
César Montes lo dio todo. Cada gramo de sudor y hasta un par de cabezazos que parecían heroicos. Sin embargo, entre el VAR y un gol a los 90+3' del Valencia, el Cachorro no pudo evitar el dramático descenso del Espanyol.
Los periquitos igualaron 2-2 con el equipo che y a una jornada pendiente, las matemáticas simplemente no alcanzan para la salvación. C'est fini.
Ante Valencia, Montes dio esperanzas.
Marcos Acuña was sent off in Sevilla’s 2-1 LaLiga home defeat against Real Madrid this Saturday, and although not much was at stake, the Argentinian could’ve easily left Spaniard Dani Ceballos without playing for a long, long time.
In the 83rd minute of the match held at the Sánchez Pizjuán, with Sevilla trailing 2-1, a very late tackle made by Acuña against Ceballos sent the 2022 World Cup champion out for an early shower.
Goals by Karim Benzema and Rodrygo earned Real Madrid a 2-1 win over mid-table Rayo Vallecano in LaLiga on Wednesday as fans and players showed their support for Vinicius Jr, who was subject to racial abuse over the weekend.
Real's Brazilian forward Vinicius received a tribute ahead of the game after being the target of racist insults during the 1-0 loss at Valencia on Sunday.
"We are all Vinicius. Enough is enough," said a banner displayed behind one of the goals at the Santiago Bernabeu, among many other messages of support for him.
MADRID — Police detained seven men on Tuesday over separate alleged hate crime incidents against Real Madrid football player Vinicius Jr as Spain's main soccer league urged changes to Spanish law that would enable it to take steps to curb racism in stadiums.
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti expressed support for Vinicius Jr, whom he expected would remain at the club.
He lambasted Spain's "obsolete" protocols to deal with racism in the sport, and said he would consider taking his players off the pitch if they were to be abused again during a game.
In the battle between Thibaut Courtois and Erling Haaland the Real Madrid keeper came up victorious. Alas he couldn’t keep out the relentless hordes of Manchester City attacks as the defending Premier League champions won 4-0 (5-1 on aggregate) to book their ticket to the UEFA Champions League final on Wednesday.
City deserve all the credit for their victory. They outclassed Real Madrid on every inch of the field. The area of most difficulty was trying to get past Courtois in goal.
