Real Madrid and Barcelona are set to clash at the Santiago Bernabéu in the first El Clásico of the season, and for Hansi Flick, this might be the defining test of his Barcelona project. Since taking over in the summer, Flick has transformed Barcelona into one of Europe’s most entertaining sides. They have scored 207 goals in 72 games, more than any other team in the top five leagues, and their attacking fluidity has been breathtaking. But for all their brilliance, there is a dangerous imbalance beneath the surface. Barcelona have allowed 24 big chances in La Liga this season,…

Ruben Amorim heads into the weekend looking to build on back-to-back Premier League wins as Manchester United welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to Old Trafford on Saturday. United are fresh from their most impressive result under Amorim, a 2–1 triumph over Liverpool at Anfield.

Osimhen converted a clinical finish after Mario Lemina slid the ball through the Bodø/Glimt defence to open…

By Olukayode Olumuyiwa. Gerard Deulofeu, the fleet-footed winger who came through Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy, won hearts at Everton with his dazzling runs, and became a Udinese hero with 20 goals and 16 assists in 80 Serie A games, has always played with a spark. His flair, that knack for turning a match with a single burst past a defender, made him a fan favourite, from Goodison Park to the Dacia Arena. But since January 2023, his world has been one of pain and patience. It started with a tackle in a match against Sampdoria—a routine clash that tore…

Liverpool’s promising start to the 2025-26 season has suddenly gone cold. Two losses in just four days have left supporters wondering whether their team can truly fight for every trophy this campaign. Winning on the road has become a real problem, and it is not a new one. Every title-winning team needs to be strong away from home. Half of the season is played on the road, and those games often decide who lifts trophies and who watches others do so. Liverpool’s dream of sweeping silverware this year is already under pressure after back-to-back defeats against Crystal Palace and Galatasaray.…

By Olukayode Olumuyiwa. Nottingham Forest’s turbulent season took another twist on Tuesday as the club confirmed the appointment of Sean Dyche as their third head coach in just over a month. The move comes after a dismal start to the 2025-26 campaign that has left the Reds teetering in 18th place in the Premier League with only five points from eight games—and zero wins under their two previous managers this term. Dyche, the no-nonsense former Everton and Burnley boss, steps into the fray with a contract running until the summer of 2027. He’ll waste no time making his mark, taking…
