"To keep it simple, we did a pretty decent job last season, but we want more," Jansen said. "We want to be successful, which means we have to do better than we did last season. "The first step has been put out there. We reached the Conference final, which was a good achievement, but at the end of the day, we did not win anything.

The club continues to be unequivocal in its stance we have a zero-tolerance approach to any form of discrimination. The club has reported the post to Instagram's parent company, Meta, and expects strong support from them, together with the Premier League and the police, and will work to ensure that the individual responsible is identified and investigated. Hannibal will receive the full backing from the club and from the Burnley fans who we have already seen condemning the abuse.

Alexander Sorloth netted twice to complete a 4-2 comeback win for Atletico Madrid over Espanyol in LaLiga. After Jofre Carreras had given Espanyol the lead, Sorloth scored Atletico's first and last goals to earn the three points. Atletico were carved open just six minutes in as Tyrhys Dolan was released down the right to bend a low cross into the box.

We chased the game well in the second half and we were in it right until the end with Harvey [Barnes] shot right until the end. We were chasing the game against a very good team. We did that to a man excellently all game. The end product, the last cross, the last finish was not quite there. There were several occasions where we should have done better.

"Now we have three days off. I say to them 'what you have to do is take a lot of caipirinhas and daiquiris in these next three days, enjoy life,' and then we make proper sessions and go to Leeds. 'That is the proper way. If we say 'we win this, then Arsenal do this or Aston Villa' ... [you get a] slap in the face and what you thought [would happen], the opposite happens."

Bundesliga club Werder Bremen have cancelled plans for a US tour, including a match in protest-hit Minneapolis, due in part to "political reasons", a spokesperson told AFP on Saturday. Bremen were in the process of planning a summer tour which was set to take place in May, with friendlies in Minneapolis and Detroit, before the start of the 2026 World Cup in the US, Canada and Mexico.

"When you do something special, or almost special, it can be a natural reaction for people to relax; that was hard, wow, and that's just something we won't accept," Varas said. "We need to not only take the same steps we took last year in our preparation, but we need to take those steps even better."

Former Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sané always ended up with decent statistics during his tenure at the club, but he never quite reached the level of heights predicted for him when he made the long-anticipated move to Bavaria from Manchester City in 2020. Funks and slumps marred Sané's time with Bayern Munich as he failed to achieve consistency. Last summer, the winger moves on to Galatasaray, ending his time with Bayern Munich as a disappointment to many fans.

Well look, if Tottenham are out of Europe and struggling again, they're going to find themselves more more susceptible to offers for their best players and Bergvall definitely comes in to that reckoning. He's a highly-regarded player and he's done well since he arrived at Tottenham. He's highly regarded at Tottenham, he's under a long contract until 2031 and there was no surprise that they rebuffed those inquiries from Chelsea and Villa in the January window.

Leipzig took the lead in the 20th minute when Yan Diomande turned Julian Ryerson inside out, and delivered a low cross for an unmarked Baumgartner to flick home with the outside of his boot. Baumgartner added a second in similar fashion before half-time, again guiding a low cross from the left - this time from David Raum - past Gregor Kobel.

I'm not inside his head. I only see how he has played the last two matches, that he is returning to the level he always was, and we need him in this way. Then, in his head, I cannot be, but in what reflects in his work, I am very happy with what he gives us.
