Sources: River Plate still keen on NYCFC's 'Taty'

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.

Once again, the semi-finalists are comprised of Premier League big boys – with Chelsea taking on Manchester United and Arsenal facing Manchester City. We could be in for a pair on enthralling games...

Inter vs Getafe Preview: How to Watch on TV, Live Stream, Kick Off Time & Team News

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...

Galatasaray to pip Watford to signing of Jens Stryger Larsen

Cast your mind back to the end of 2016: Donald Trump has just been elected President of the USA, the UK had opted to part ways with the EU, 'corona' was solely a Mexican-produced beer and, most significantly, Tottenham's defence were on their way to securing the best defensive record in the Premier League. The 2016/17 campaign was a magical one in N17. Sure, Antonio Conte ensured it typically didn't return any silverware, but it was the season where Mauricio Pochettino's Lilywhites were at...
