Federico Chiesa hasn't quite lived up to expectations in a Liverpool shirt, and he's set to be one of the big talking points of the summer transfer window. The Liverpool board is open to letting him go, with doubts about his ability to adapt to the Premier League pace, while Serie A sides are already moving in for Chiesa. Chiesa was linked with a move away from Liverpool in January as well.
Bayern Munich have been on a bit of a rough start to 2026. After coming out of the gates hot, with some massive offensive performances, the team has been struggling as of late. No one is more happy seeing Bayern slip with than Borussia Dortmund. Dortmund star, German international, and possible Bayern transfer target Nico Schlotterbeck even stated that Dortmund should be aiming for the title.
You may find yourself living in a glass and steel yak-fur-lined penthouse. You may find yourself with six Premier League titles and a sport refashioned in your image. You may find yourself in front of a large advert board covered in words such as Experience Abu Dhabi, haunted by images of suffering, a scythe clanking gently at your shoulder. And you may say, well, how did I get here?
Bayern Munich's recent 2-2 draw with Hamburger SV was a frustrating one for Die Rekordmeister, but among that frustration there was admiration, too, for the opponent's impressive 18-year-old center back. Luka Vuškovic has been one of the most impressive players in the Bundesliga this season and proved it again on Saturday, scoring the goal to give Hamburg a point from the match.
Celtic left it late to book their spot in the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup, as they defeated Dundee 2-1 after extra-time. Having lost December's League Cup final to St. Mirren during Wilfried Nancy's ill-fated time at the helm, the Hoops looked to be on their way out of the Scottish Cup at Celtic Park, as they trailed 1-0 heading into second-half stoppage time.
The closest he got to it was Newcastle United's development squad', a group of players deemed not good enough to sign for the academy itself, but sufficiently talented for the club to monitor them via training sessions a couple of times a week, with occasional games. Released from that setup at the age of 11, Burn played Sunday League football, and by 16, when most players sign their first professional contracts, he was struggling to pin down a place in an amateur Saturday team.
The German national team have perhaps the greatest history of football shirts, and have led the way for football fashion with Adidas for years. They deserve to be named beside Brazil when it comes to iconic kits. While there have already been leaks on what Germany will wear on the pitch during matches in North America this summer, there have now been leaks on what the guys will wear pre-match.
"I saw the space when Fermín [López] got the ball and ran into it. I was going to shoot with my right foot, but decided to cut back and take it with the left. It took a deflection, but never mind, it was an incredible moment. It's something you can hardly even imagine as a dream when you're a kid. When I scored, I thought a lot about the tough times over the last year. Also about my family."
What Harry Kane has produced here in the past year or two is absolutely top-class. And what I like best about him is that in the beginning, he was a goal scorer who played in his box, who waited for the ball to arrive. But today he's long since become a playmaker, he's a finisher, and above all, he's a player with a personality who inspires others on the pitch, who sets the tone, and that's exactly what we were looking for,
Fulham's late comeback wasn't enough at Old Trafford last time out, as Benjamin Sesko struck a dramatic winner to sink them last weekend. Marco Silva's side had done brilliantly to fight back from two goals down, only for the big Slovenian to hammer a drive into the top corner just three minutes after Kevin had found the top corner. Everton drew for the second successive gameweek, held this time by Brighton and Hove Albion on the south coast.
Real Madrid are interested in signing Phil Foden from Manchester City in the summer of 2026, according to . The Spanish powerhouse reportedly view Foden as 'the final, crowning piece of their New Galacticos puzzle'. Foden is good friends with his England international team-mate Jude Bellingham, who is a star for Madrid. This is the 'primary trump card' that Los Blancos are planning to use to convince Foden to switch to Estadio Bernabeu.
Gaelic games coaching is increasingly benefiting from a different perspective. Some time in the future, Shane Keegan can see the current Donegal manager Jim McGuinness taking charge of a League of Ireland soccer team. And in that future, there's a place for the current Limerick hurling coach Paul Kinnerk as a coach.
Coventry City missed the chance to pull clear at the top of the Championship after playing out a frustrating 0-0 draw with struggling Oxford United on Saturday. With second-placed Middlesbrough not in action until Monday, Frank Lampard's side were unable to take advantage despite Will Lankshear's 77nd-minute sending off. Haji Wright tested Jamie Cumming early on before the visiting goalkeeper produced a brilliant save to deny Tatsuhiro Sakamoto's fizzing drive from just outside the penalty area.
