Germany are back to winning ways. That post-2014 world cup spirit of grabbing the win anyhow is certainly welcome in the new era. The Germans are rebuilding following last year’s disastrous world cup defence and limp UEFA Nation’s League campaign; culminating in Joachim Low forcing early retirements on Jerome Boateng, Mats Hummels and Thomas Muller….
Real Madrid have been ousted as the undisputed kings of Europe. After three successive Champions league triumphs, it’s is time to rebuild at the Santiago Bernabéu. The Spanish side’s problems run deeper than the 4-1 embarrassment at home to Ajax; although the young Dutch side deserve their reward for being such a vibrant unit, pushing…
Title-chasing Liverpool (yep, Man. United fans, that’s what they are these days) square up to Bayern Munich in the Champions League Round Of 16. This first leg is about sending out strong enough teams to be in a decent position for the second tie for the managers. This is due to the long list of…
Real Madrid youngster Vinicius Júnior is repaying the faith shown in him by manager Santiago Solari. The Brazil wonderkid who had drawn attention following a big money move from Flamengo over the summer proves his worth. The Real Madrid hierarchy was unhappy with ex-manager Julen Lopetegui for under-utilizing the forward during their tumultuous start to…
Chelsea ensured a significant upturn of form with an emphatic response to their recent woes which could offer the turning point in their season.

The top four race hots up as Liverpool and Manchester City continue to battle it out for the title in a mini-league of their own.

It’s all set for a Wembley classic as title hopefuls Tottenham Hotspurs tackle an improved Manchester United. This fixture proved an early thriller in the first weeks of the season when a Lucas Moura brace helped spurs to a 3-0 win. The latest installment is a must-win for Mauricio Pochettino’s men who need to impress…
Bayern Munich have had a disappointing season by their own standards. Constant squad rotation and defensive frailties in poor performances undermined the start of manager Niko Kovač’s tenure at the club. The German Bundesliga record winners are used to swatting away teams in the league such that by this stage of the season there’s a…
Arsenal versus Tottenham Hotspurs lived up to providing the most entertainment on Derby Day in the Premier League. Six goals, two penalties, seven yellow cards, a red card, both sets of players clashing, a failed fight back and a come-from-behind win. Much has been made of the changes Unai Emery has instilled at Arsenal. The…
Leroy Sané had a slow start to the season. After a great start last season, culminating in the PFA Young player of the year award at the end of 2017/2018.
