Felipe Melo has opened up on how his stamp on Arjen Robben at the 2010 World Cup meant a move to Real Madrid, which had already been agreed, fell through. Brazil took on the Netherlands in the quarter-finals at the World Cup and came into the clash as favourites, but they were sent packing after falling to a 2-1 defeat. It was a miserable game for Melo, who was at fault for the equaliser, before getting himself sent off just 20 minutes later. Felipe Melo's stamp After bringing Robben down and...

The news that Paris Saint-Germain captain Thiago Silva won’t be extending his stay in the French capital beyond this season has stirred interest among a number of Premier League clubs. Arsenal, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Everton, Newcastle and West Ham are all said to be keen on luring the Brazil international to England. With Silva set to turn 36 this September, the quintet are seemingly undeterred by the defender entering the twilight of his career. Despite being home to some of the greatest...

Well, if Friday night's stalemate was anything to go by, we're in for a thrilling conclusion to the Italian domestic campaign over the next few weeks! Seriously though, it can't get any worse right? That was dire – six seconds of penalty-miss-red-card madness aside. Nevertheless, hoping to rid our memories of whatever that was at an empty Allianz Stadium on Friday night are Antonio Conte's Inter, who travel to Gennaro Gattuso's resolute Napoli side looking to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the...

Marseille fans would have been pretty peeved when France curtailed the Ligue 1 season back in April. Rejuvenated by dashing footballing nomad Andre Villas-Boas, Le Olympiens were sitting pretty in second place - and therefore favourites to lift the 'anyone but PSG' title that French clubs not blessed with untold riches fight it out for each season. At least their Champions League group stage qualification was eventually secured via points per game, meaning that they will be back mixing with...

Real Madrid winger Lucas Vázquez is one of four Los Blancos stars set to miss Sunday's clash with Eibar due to injury. The Spaniard has been an unsung yet vital part of Zinedine Zidane's side over the last few seasons, despite the presence of the likes of Gareth Bale and young star Rodrygo on the right flank. The 28-year old had made 14 La Liga appearances this season before the league was suspended, with his side currently just two points behind leaders Barcelona, who face RCD Mallorca on...

oals Juventus edged past AC Milan and booked their place in the final of the Coppa Italia in nervy fashion, drawing 0-0 at the Allianz Stadium on Friday night. Juventus, who advanced on away goals, failed to break down an ultra defensive Milan side who were equally as poor in attack. The game's best spell came 15 minutes in, with Juventus hammering on the pressure from the off. Viewers were treated to a missed penalty and a straight card both inside the opening 20 minutes – indeed, within six...

Premier League players from all 20 clubs have released a joint statement expressing their desire to show support for the Black Lives Matter movement during games once the league returns.

Liverpool have confirmed that midfielder Pedro Chirivella will leave the club at the end of the month, rather than either staying until the end of the campaign or signing an extension to keep him on Merseyside for the long-term. The Spaniard will join Ligue 1 side Nantes ahead of the French league's restart later this year – the competition having been cut short early due to coronavirus fears. .@pedrochb97 is set to join @FCNantes upon the expiration of his contract at the end of this month....

Youth development is a tricky thing. Creating and nurturing players in an academy is hard enough, but finding a spot for those talents in the first team is even harder. In a world with so much money, you have to be truly special to break through. For some teams, bringing through these homegrown talents is not so challenging. Tifosy took a look at all the squads in Europe's top five leagues to see which teams have the biggest percentage of academy graduates in their current squad. Here are the...

Wolves have made an offer in the region of €15m for Stade de Reims defender Axel Disasi, who is entering the final year of his contract.

Liverpool sealed a decent bit of business on Friday, extending the contract of 19-year-old winger Luis Longstaff until 2022, having joined from Newcastle’s academy back in 2015 as a 14-year-old. The youngster is tipped as a potential future star for Liverpool, one who can continue his rise through the club’s academy and into the first team.

The long awaited return of La Liga has finally come around, and Real Madrid find themselves back in action on 14 June, looking to chase down that two point gap between themselves and Barcelona at the top of the table. The break in play came at a great time for Los Blancos, who had only won two of their last seven matches before the suspension.

enal Arsenal icon Thierry Henry has admitted that he left Arsenal in search of the kind of competition which could only be found at Barcelona. The Frenchman, who led Arsenal to two Premier League titles, sealed a surprise move away from the Emirates Stadium in 2007, after which he went on to finally add the Champions League to his impressive trophy cabinet. Speaking in a video interview with UEFA, Henry insisted that his love for Arsenal never faded away, but he wanted a chance to pass the...

More Newcastle United goalkeeper Martin Dubravka was an unknown quantity in English football when he joined the Magpies on loan from Sparta Prague in January 2018, halfway through a tough first season back in the Premier League. Yet the Slovakian international quickly established himself as a key player with his performances, helping his new team pull away from the relegation battle brewing just beneath them and ultimately to an impressive top half finish. Dubravka was recognised at the end of...

Kurt Zouma is a bit of an enigma, isn't he? He's not a world class defender, but most Premier League teams would take him in a heartbeat. Tottenham are now said to be interested in securing the Frenchman's services, along with former club Everton, and it presents something of a crossroads for Zouma, as a move to the former would see him reunite with his old manager José Mourinho, a known admirer. So with funds needed to bring in a quality left back, do Chelsea stick or twist with Zouma? Well,...

Arturo Vidal will not consider leaving Barcelona until all of their 2019/20 fixtures are finished - even if that means missing out on a move to Inter this summer. The Chilean is, somewhat deceptively, one of modern football's most accomplished players. Though he has developed something of a mercenary reputation, joining Bayern from Juventus before moving to Barcelona in 2018, he has won league titles in each of his last eight seasons - four on the spin with Juve and three with Bayern before...
