ract Tottenham defender Eric Dier says more needs to be done to protect footballers when it comes to online and in-stadium abuse. Dier was recently handed a four-match ban by the FA after he marched into the stands at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to confront a fan following Spurs' FA Cup defeat to Norwich in March. The 26-year-old, who extended his contract in N17 until 2024 on Wednesday, was attempting to protect his younger brother but despite the circumstances, Dier was deemed to have...

Paris Saint-Germain are yet to know the full extent of Kylian Mbappe's injury sustained during the club's 1-0 win over Saint-Étienne, but confirmed it was a 'serious' sprain and not a fracture. Mbappe was forced off in the first half of the Coupe de France final on Friday, as Loic Perrin's challenge saw the forward's ankle buckle under his trailing leg in a nasty looking injury. ???? @ASSEofficiel https://t.co/871MosrTFp — Kylian Mbappé (@KMbappe) July 25, 2020 That tackle saw a full 22-man...

Toni Kroos has weighed in on Gareth Bale's situation at Real Madrid, claiming the entire saga is 'unsatisfying' for everyone at the club. It's been another season in a peripheral role for the Welshman. The stand off between the forward and Real has been prevalent once again this term with Bale used fleetingly by Zinedine Zidane, all the while warming the bench and earning considerable wages to boot.

Inter coach Antonio Conte has categorically put an end to any ties linking Barcelona star Lionel Messi with a move to San Siro this summer, describing the rumours as 'absolutely fake'. The Barça legend has grown frustrated at the current situation at Camp Nou this season, after failing to defend the league title, and slipping close to a Champions League exit at the hands of Napoli. Messi has become disillusioned at Barcelona These murmurs of discontent blossomed into talk of a dramatic exit...

Two years is a very long time in football. In the summer of 2018, Samuel Umtiti was renowned as one of the best centre-backs playing the game. The French defender had just led his national team to World Cup glory, scoring the only goal in the semi-final victory over Belgium, and providing a solid base to one of the most defensively disciplined winners of the trophy in recent history. Umtiti was an important figure in France's World Cup triumph Since that moment, little has gone right for the...

ver Although Inter may currently be sitting only four points behind Juventus in the Serie A table, and a title challenge may appear to be alive, things are far from rosey at San Siro. Antonio Conte is up to his usual tricks of complaining, whinging, whining, lamenting - and just about every verb which could describe a bitter man, struggling to deal with his own deficiencies. Recent results have all-but killed Inter's realistic Scudetto hopes, while talismanic striker Lautaro Martinez has taken...

ouls It may feel like a bit of a hazy dream when you cast your minds back a couple of decades, but at that time, Celtic and Rangers were European heavyweights. The Scottish rivals were packed with impressive players from back to front, with some magic and stardust at the top of the pitch. Their talent showed on the European stage too, as they represented Scotland in the UEFA Cup final in two successive seasons. In 2003, Celtic arrived within one game of unrivalled glory, only to be stopped by...

After a blockbuster season spanning 11 months, Chelsea finally conclude their Premier League campaign on Sunday. A final day clash at Stamford Bridge is usually cause for celebration, but this year, the Blues have it all to play for when Wolves rock up to west London. Chelsea need a result to qualify for the Champions League, currently sitting fourth after being thrashed by champions Liverpool. A point would have sufficed at Anfield, but Frank Lampard’s side now need to pick up that final...

Henrik Larsson signed for Celtic on this day in 1997, and the Swedish striker would go on to become one of the club's greatest ever players

Manchester United midfielder Fred has claimed that the club will be looking to kick on and try and win the Champions League in 2020/21 - should they qualify for the competition. United know that at least a draw with Leicester on the final day of the 2019/20 Premier League season will be enough to see them qualify for Europe's top competition next term. However, the Red Devils will be hoping to pick up all three points as they look to claim third spot in the table. Positive energy from the boss...

On this day in 2003, Arsenal signed German goalkeeper Jens Lehmann for just £1.5m from Borussia Dortmund. Arsene Wenger was looking for a replacement for the departing club legend David Seaman. And much like the way he assembled the rest of the 2003/04 Arsenal team, he opted to sign a relatively unknown player who had thrived in Europe, rather than signing a replacement from England. This transfer strategy worked out pretty darn well. Jens Lehmann sitting next to Wenger during a league cup...

dow Now that the dust has settled on an exciting La Liga campaign, and a dramatic title race has reached its climax, we can all admit it: neither Real Madrid nor Barcelona were actually very good. For the champions, they won't care one jot - and nor should they. Los Merengues have worked hard, chased down their rivals for the majority of the campaign, and snatched the trophy with a superb run of ten straight wins at the end of the season. But very few Blancos supporters could tell you (with a...

These blades will not know their destiny for the next two hours however, and their victim's fate will be sealed in this tense Champions League shootout. Solskjaer and Rodgers will meet again on Sunday afternoon For either Ole Gunnar Solskjaer or Brendan Rodgers, the time may have come...

Despite losing 2-1 to Udinese on Thursday, Atalanta’s draw at Milan leaves the Bianconeri in touching distance of the Scudetto. Juve will seal the title if they win at the weekend, which would put them eight points clear with just two games to play. While the hosts have it all for play for, Sampdoria are just playing for pride. Three straight wins steered them up to 14th...

Inter are said to be 'dreaming' of signing superstar Lionel Messi in 2021 when his current Barcelona contract expires - but reports from Spain have rubbished such a move. The 33-year-old has enjoyed yet another phenomenal season in 2019/20 despite the club's difficulties both on and off the field, grabbing 30 goals and 26 assists in just 42 appearances in all competitions. Is Lionel Messi losing patience with Barcelona? pic.twitter.com/27FnJhkwW7 — 90min (@90min_Football) July 17, 2020 Messi...

Atlético Madrid's Jan Oblak has begun to plan for his future elsewhere, with Manchester United joining Chelsea in the race to secure the goalkeeper's services. Since signing for Atléti from Benfica in 2014, Oblak's reputation has got better and better, and he is now regarded as one of the best in his position in the world. Oblak's impressive form at the Wanda Metropolitano this season has formed a stark contrast with Chelsea's struggle between the sticks, with Kepa Arrizabalaga having come...

Juventus fluffed the chance to secure the title last time out against Udinese, but they'll know they will win their ninth successive Scudetto if they beat Sampdoria on Sunday. Atalanta were unable to cut the deficit to three points when they drew 1-1 with Milan on Friday, and while the title race is still open mathematically, Juventus should secure the trophy on Sunday night. Here is the team that could clinch the title against Sampdoria Goalkeeper & Defenders De Ligt celebrating his goal...

It's been a week of celebrations for Liverpool supporters and players alike, but now the time has come to look to the future - unless you're Mohamed Salah, who is happy staying in the moment. The Reds may have wrapped up their first league title in 30 years several weeks ago, but their heroes had to wait until Wednesday's 5-3 victory over Chelsea to lift the trophy under the Anfield lights. One man who has proved integral to the Merseysiders success is Salah. The 28-year-old has been...

Everton have endured a fairly disappointing season, however things have undoubtedly looked better since Carlo Ancelotti joined the Toffees. They go into Sunday's game against Bournemouth knowing that their opposition will be raring to go, needing a win to stay up. This is how Everton should lineup. Goalkeeper & Defenders Cumbrian youngster Jarrad Branthwaite has looked solid since coming in to the first XI Jordan Pickford (GK): England's number one, Pickford has looked shaky all season....
