Football World

It's been a different Champions League this season, no thanks to covid-19 pandemic. But that didn't take away the glamour and grace associated with the competition. The unexpected happened, League 1 and Bundeslega outclassed the entire contenders to book a place in the grand finale of the most prestigious club football competition in Europe. It was amazing but to an extent not a surprise because alot of the big wigs in Spain and England were ailing, with the exception of Manchester City  and Juventus (the lone voice in Italy) that got bedeviled by that same ailment that has kept success away from them in that competition. Sunday is the day to settle the scores between a German veteran and a French newbie. The odds are in favour of Bayern Munich because of the level of experience that group of players have gathered over the years in the likes of Robert Lewandoski who boosts of the highest number of goals scored in the Champions League this season, Thomas Müllar, David Alaba and ...

The 2019/2020 Champions League has produced surprises so far with the elimination of favorite teams by less fancied opponents that emerged from the nowhere to Limelight. Prior to the start of the season, up to the forced break caused by the coronavirus pandemic, no one felt that Bayern Munich would pose a threat in the competition. Not because they were not doing well in the league, but because of the perception of football lovers when it comes to the French and German football leagues popularly known as "Farmers League." As the competition progressed, the big teams began to fall, not among themselves but in the hands of these less fancied teams and continued until the rejected stones were the only ones standing. They are turning into the chief corner stones now. Looking at the match that will take place between Bayern Munich and Olympique Lyon, it would be easier to give it to the former because of their excellent run up to the semi final unlike the French side that had to c...

For ages, the Paris club has fought to clinch the trophy, but one way or the other,it always elude them. This season, after the coronavirus pandemic break,they returned to the champions league in flames. Now they have found their way to the grand finale courtesy of a deserved victory over RB Leipzig in an entertaining semi-final in Lisbon. One of Europe's biggest spenders, but also one of the continent's most high-profile underachievers on the biggest stage, PSG finally seized their opportunity courtesy of goals from Marquinhos, Angel di Maria and Juan Bernat. The former, who scored the first of two late goals in a comeback win over Atalanta in the last eight, rose to head home a well delivered free-kick from Angel Di Maria. The Argentine forward then finished well from close range following an sublime flick from Neymar after Leipzig goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi had relinquished possession with a dangerous kick. With the fit-again Kylian Mbappe and Neymar terrorising the Leipzig ba...

"Ousmane Dambele has a long-term contract (until 2021) and we are making definite plans with him. There are no negotiations (with Barca). Ousmane is going to be playing for Dortmund in the coming season." Roll forward from 2017 to 2020⬇️ "We plan on having Jadon Sancho in our team this season, the decision is final. I think that answers all our questions." Fingers crossed.🤔

 Dortmund Chief, Michael Zorc says Jadon Sancho will be a Borussia Dortmund player next season. Sancho and Zorc Addressing the press on Monday, Zorc spoke about Manchester United's interest in the England international, and stated categorically that, "We are planning with Sancho, he will play for us next season. The decision is final. I think that answers all of the questions."

Manchester United Looks For Number 7. The Manchester United No.7 shirt is now vacant, and United have long been linked with making Jadon Sancho the man to fill it. That saga looks as though it could run on and on into the summer, but other deals could conclude more swiftly as plenty of clubs get to grips with the twin pressures of playing in European competition and managing the transfer market. Manchester City have quickened their pace in the past week with deals for both Ferran Torres and Nathan Ake, while Arsenal continue to be linked with a free transfer move for Willian. Crystal Palace Emerge  Front-runners for Fraser. Ryan Fraser has been in high demand in the Premier League since his decision to leave Bournemouth at the end of his contract earlier this summer. The Scotland international had been linked with a move to Arsenal, but the Daily Mail claims Crystal Palace now lead the race for his signature. Liverpool Told Huge Diego Carlos Asking Price. Liverpool would have to pa...
