Being in with a shot of the Spanish title was expected of Real Madrid after they secured the club-record signing of Eden Hazard last summer, but while they've achieved their goals, the Belgian's impact was bit-part at best. Openly admitting to being overweight for the start of the season and suffering a string of niggling injuries has resulted in the forward making just 21 appearances in all competitions and a single goal.

Former Chelsea director Michael Emenalo has revealed that Kevin De Bruyne's departure in 2014 was actually one of the catalysts behind Chelsea's recent focus on academy talents. De Bruyne joined Chelsea from Genk in 2012, but after an underwhelming first six months, he was loaned out and sold to Wolfsburg in 2014, and he has since gone on to establish himself as one of the best footballers on the planet. De Bruyne is now an elite talent with Manchester City It's a similar story with Chelsea's...

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has denied that his players are attempting to con the referee into awarding penalties during matches. The Red Devils have received 13 penalties this season, one short of a new record for spot-kicks awarded to a single club over the course of a Premier League season. Ahead of his side's FA Cup tie against Man Utd, Chelsea manager Frank Lampard suggested that Solskjaer's players are actively seeking their apparent good fortune. Lampard has told his...

tors Norwich were relegated after their loss to West Ham earlier in July. That didn't come as much of a surprise, given they'd been destined for the drop for quite some time. But with their relegation now confirmed - and with the summer transfer window beckoning - clubs will be starting to look at some of City's better players. One of these better players is Emiliano Buendia. Buendia celebrating his goal against Watford The Argentine is a diminutive attacking midfielder. He isn't especially...

Leeds United will begin planning for life in the Premier League over the next few days, with Marcelo Bielsa set to discuss not only transfers but the more pressing issue of his contract with the Leeds hierarchy. The Argentinian manager has been widely-praised for his influence in Yorkshire, leading the Whites to a playoff spot in his first year at the club, before ending their 16-year exile from the top flight of English football this season. However, the Championship's new champions will lose...

As the ball comes hurtling towards Valencia's penalty area, Santi Cazorla has slipped, unnoticed, into a pocket of space behind the defence. With a wonderful, feathered touch, he tames the unceremonious hoof upfield, teeing up Gerard Moreno for Villarreal's second goal. The quality of the assist is such that Moreno's hip-high volley barely gets little more than a nod of vague appreciation as the goal is incessantly replayed and poured over in the weeks that followed. Sensational goal to double...

They say all games in the final stretch of the season are like cup finals, and Sunday will be no exception for Chelsea... well a semi-final at least. The Blues travel to Wembley for the FA Cup showdown with top four rivals Manchester United. An enticing clash is nonetheless a nerve-wracking one, and not just for the players. It marks a remarkable achievement for Frank Lampard, reaching the semi-final stage in his debut season. Lampard could become the seventh Chelsea manager to reach the FA...

Manchester United are ready to hand young forward Mason Greenwood a huge new contract which would double his current weekly wage. The 18-year-old, who only penned his current deal back in October, has blossomed into a core player in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side. He has started eight of United's last ten Premier League games, chipping in with five goals and an assist for good measure. He has managed 16 goals so far in his breakthrough season His 16 goals in all competitions is just one short of...

Inter CEO Giuseppe Marotta is confident Lautaro Martinez will remain at Inter this summer, despite continued speculation about a transfer to Barcelona The Argentine has long been seen as the eventual successor to Luis Suarez at Camp Nou. However, Barcelona's current financial restrictions and inability to broker a swap deal has halted a potential move thus far. Barcelona are searching for Luis Suarez's successor this summer Last week, Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu confirmed they've...

suit As if Arsenal needed any more convincing of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's importance, the club captain scored twice in a valiant victory over Manchester City on Saturday to book their place in the FA Cup final. The 31-year-old hit his 24th and 25th goals in all competitions this season with two well taken finishes. However, an air of uncertainty weighs heavy with the Gabonse striker yet to commit to the club beyond his current deal - which expires next summer. What a result and what a...

As Chelsea get to ready to face Manchester United in the FA Cup on Sunday, manager Frank Lampard will not need reminding of the fact that his side have already lost three times to United this season. That being said, the Blues have the advantage in the race for the top four and may perhaps be in a better position to play their strongest side, particularly as they've had an extra 48 hours rest than their opponents.

Marcus Rashford is enjoying the best goalscoring season of his career to date, grabbing his 22nd in all competitions recently as Manchester United overcame Crystal Palace 2-0. United came into the contest knowing that a win was required at all costs as they look to secure a place in the top four. But while they looked tired and laboured at points during the clash, it was the attacking quality that proved to be the difference between the two sides. Marcus Rashford has just sent Patrick van...

nal Arsenal knocked out current FA Cup holders Manchester City on Saturday evening, beating the Citizens 2-0 at Wembley Stadium thanks to a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang brace. The Gunners took the lead on 19 minutes, when Aubameyang atoned for an earlier miss by brilliantly turning home a Nicolas Pepe cross. Man City then knocked on the Arsenal door as the half progressed, but Mikel Arteta's men stood firm, and even looked dangerous on the break. Arsenal v Manchester City - FA Cup: Semi Final The...

City Saturday evening saw the first of two FA Cup semi-finals take place between Arsenal and Manchester City, and once again, Twitter did not miss a beat. The game began with Manchester City well on top, clocking up 83% of possession in the opening 10 minutes. But even more predictable than the Citizens' domination, was a classic Shkodran Mustafi error. The centre-back managed to lose the ball in his own penalty area, almost gifting a goal to his opponents. Unfortunately for the German, it...

It's been a long time since this Arsenal fanbase has had any genuine hope. The Unai Emery revolution was built on sand, and upon Mikel Arteta's arrival in the winter, there was very little to smile about for the Gunners. So why do we all keep tuning in to watch our team disappoint us week in, week out, even when we are 99.9% sure we will have nothing to smile about over the following 90 minutes? Because of hope. Football is more often than not, an absolute rollercoaster Hope is what makes...

Son celebrating his goal against Arsenal Tottenham will be without Dele Alli, who is out with a hamstring injury, while Eric Dier has one game left of...

England's run in the 2018 World Cup will never be forgotten. It was celebrated across the nation, and while fans still wonder what would've happened had England beat Croatia in the semi final, there's no denying the run was still one that surpassed all expectations. As fun as it was, though, there were a number of areas that let Gareth Southgate's star-studded squad down. The nation's midfield is still worryingly weak, and while it feels like the country is too spoilt for choice. The...

With all eyes on the ensuing battle for a Champions League spot, it seems to have been forgotten that there is a massive FA Cup semi final clash on the horizon: Manchester United vs Chelsea. This FA Cup semi-final will be the fourth time the two sides have met this season, and United will be looking to make it a clean sweep of victories having beaten the Blues in the previous three meetings - including that 4-0 thumping on the opening day.

12 months is a long time in football. One year ago, Paulo Dybala's Juventus career was as good as over. Having been told that the club would be entertaining offers for his services, and with Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur circling, there seemed to be only one logical outcome. His time was up. Paulo Dybala is back. He’s in Turin now and he’ll meet Maurizio Sarri soon, then he’ll decide about his future and Man United bid. ? #MUFC #Juventus #transfers pic.twitter.com/A2XJxa8tcj —...
