After an absence of three months and uncertainty as to whether the season would actually be continued, Italian football will be back on our screens on Friday. Okay, so it's only the Coppa Italia, but you'd take that after months of watching the Belarusian league and re-watching matches you already know the result to. The first couple of games are absolute crackers as well, with Juventus playing Milan and Inter facing SSC Napoli. The empty, echoey stadiums will take some getting used to, unless...

It's been a long time coming but Barcelona will finally return to La Liga action on Saturday night when they travel to the Balearic Islands to take on Mallorca. Yes, it may be behind closed doors and yes, it may not be the most high-profile of curtain raisers, but it'll come as welcome relief for a community of Barça fans starved of matches for months. The lack of football hasn't been all bad though. With the season put on hold, several Barcelona players have had a chance to recover from...

Deal Bayern Munich have employed a new tactic in their chase of Manchester City forward Leroy Sane this summer, with a deal 'still likely'. Sane had looked destined to make the switch to Bavaria before the start of the 2019/20 campaign, but the torn ACL he sustained in his side's Community Shield victory over Liverpool back in August thwarted a potential move. Bayern, though, remain keen on adding the 24-year-old to their squad, but the two clubs are currently some distance apart in their...

ield After falling into obscurity following the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013, the future finally appears a little brighter for those on the red side of Manchester. Whether it be the Jadon Sancho links, Bruno Fernandes' arrival, the emphasis on a youth-led revolution or Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looking like he can actually coach, there's reason to believe the Red Devils will re-emerge as a gargantuan European force in the 2020s. January arrival Bruno Fernandes has had a galvanising effect...

There's a lot of pain and heartache in the world at the moment. Thankfully, Ajax have decided to bring a little bit of a joy into everyone's life by dropping one of their sexiest away shirts in recent memory. The Eredivisie season may have been abandoned in April but the Dutch champions have clearly not been resting on their laurels, heading down to their top secret football kit laboratory in Amsterdam to brainstorm ideas with adidas. The result is a thing of beauty. Leave 1 GIF to rate our...

News Borussia Dortmund return to Bundesliga action this weekend with a trip to Fortuna Düsseldorf, knowing that if they fail to win the title race could be officially over, if it isn't already. Losing Der Klassiker to Bayern Munich opened a seven point gap between the two giants at the top of the league, and with only 12 left to play for, it is looking like the title will remain in Bavaria for another year at least. Dortmund are still doing all they can to keep the pressure on Bayern at the...

Real and Barça are separated by just two points, having both played 27 of their 38 league fixtures so far this term.

ews La Liga is back. Yes, you heard that right. After four weeks of Bundesliga action, we finally have an offering from another major league for football fans to get stuck into. Nine fixtures remain for each team this season and there is still plenty to play for at both ends of the table. The title race is ever so tight, the battle for the Champions League spots is fierce, and the relegation places are far from decided. The league returns on Thursday, but the first taste of action for Athletic...

Martin Braithwaite has lavished praise on his Barcelona teammates including Lionel Messi ahead of La Liga's imminent return. The 29-year-old arrived at the Camp Nou in controversial circumstances back in February.

Jill Scott has put pen to paper on a new two-year deal at Manchester City in a combined playing and coaching role, emphasising her continued ability to defy age and the huge importance she still has for both club and country.

Despite the club's reputation for putting their faith in youth, they had no qualms in handing...

*TRANSFER SAGAS ALERT* Even before football properly returns from a three-month hiatus, a pair of blockbusting transfer 'sagas' involving two of the finest talents this continent has to offer are already starting to unravel. The futures of both Jadon Sancho and Kai Havertz have been thrust into the unknown as a result of the unprecedented financial strains brought about by COVID-19, with the former's exit from Borussia Dortmund this summer now not looking so clear-cut, while the latter's...

tart Premier League clubs face missing out on combined lost revenue of up to £1bn this season as a result of the coronavirus crisis, with accountancy firm Deloitte expecting ‘significant revenue reduction and operating losses’ across European football as a whole. Premier League clubs pulled in a collective £5.2bn in revenue for the 2018/19 season, but Deloitte’s 2020 Annual Review of Football Finances projects a drop in revenues to £4.3bn in 2019/20. Much of that drop will be from lost...

As football across Europe inches closer to a return and the dust is blown off the tossed aside league tables, Serie A boasts something of a bottleneck at the business end. Juventus, in the hunt for their ninth consecutive Scudetto, occupy the familiar position of first place but are just one point above the surprise challengers Lazio. ??

For the neutral, watching Juan Foyth play football must be such exhilarating entertainment. Why? Because whenever he plays, something really, really ridiculous happens. And yet, there's still a part of your average Tottenham fan that thinks, 'That Foyth has something about him, y'know.' Foyth celebrates his goal at Crystal Palace last season The Argentina international - no, really, he's accumulated ten caps since his debut in October 2018 - hasn't persuaded Jose Mourinho of his ability since...

Liverpool Women winger Rinsola Babajide has signed a fresh contract with the club to extend her stay on Merseyside for at least another season, a rare piece of good news for the Reds at the moment following a raft of other departures and relegation. With the Women’s Super League season cancelled as a result of the challenges posed by the coronavirus crisis, it was decided last week that Liverpool would be relegated to the Women’s Championship on a points per game basis. Liverpool have been...

d Go It's tough times for Lyon right now. At the start of the season, they had one of the most exciting and dynamic sides in Europe as they flew out of the traps both domestically and in Europe. However, a few patchy spells of form after an injury to Memphis Depay saw them slip to seventh in Ligue 1, just before the league was cut short by COVID-19. This means there will be no European football at the Groupama Stadium for the first time in 20 years, and due to this they will have to sell some...

Gareth Southgate has acknowledged that he benefitted from white privilege when he was given his first job in management at Premier League outfit Middlesbrough in 2006.

The England boss admitted that he did not register...
