While might have eventually managed to drag themselves to a silver medal finish last season, the Spanish giants will know that they must run a closer race this time around.
Watching Real Madrid recapture their La Liga crown thanks to a commanding 13-point buffer over their El Clasico rivals, all eyes are on Xavi s squad.
Undergoing some public financial issues over the past couple of years, Barcelona have found themselves stealing many of the headlines from across Europe this summer.
Welcoming a host of superstars to the Nou Camp since the summer transfer window opened up, Xavi s side should be looking forward to the 2022/23 campaign getting underway.
Opening their season against Rayo Vallecano on August 13th, we have taken a look at how Barca can chall…
Week 3 in the 2019-20 UEFA Champions League Group Stage had a lot of action between Tuesday and Wednesday. Unlike past matchweeks, this time it was extremely hard to choose only five players that stood above the rest on an individual basis.
But we got the job done. Here are the top five performers during Week 3 of the 2019-20 UEFA Champions League group stage.
Erling Haland – RB Salzburg
The Norwegian striker has taken the world by storm and even though the reigning Austrian Bundesliga champions are not likely to advance into the knockout stages, Haland’s contributions have not gone unnoticed.
Against Napoli, the Norway international scored two goals – a penalty and a close-range header – and had another disallowed due to an offside position. He made hi…
The FIFA Confederations Cup kicks off in Brazil on Saturday, as organisers and the teams involved get geared up for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
The hosts, Brazil, will be aiming to retain their trophy for the third consecutive time following final victories against United States (2009) and Argentina (2005). However, form has dipped in recent years, blamed in some quarters by a lack of competitive fixtures due to their automatic spot in the World Cup. This was typified last week when they found themselves 22nd in the FIFA rankings, their lowest spot ever. They may draw confidence from their 3-0 warm-up victory over France, though, as they begin the tournament against Japan on Saturday.
Italy earned qualification for the event as UEFA Euro 2012 runners-up after Spain…
The 2022/23 season is over as far as the Premier League is concerned, and despite it frequently being described as the most competitive in the world, it comes as a surprise to nobody anymore that the crown still belongs to Manchester City. Pep Guardiola has led his team to five titles in the English top flights in the last six season, with only Liverpool displacing them briefly from the throne in 2019/20.
Arsenal stumble in the final stretch
It was a great campaign for the most part for Arsenal, the team under the command of Guardiola s former assistant Mikel Arteta.
Having obviously signed the right players in the last couple of years, namely goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, defenders Ben White and Tahekiro Tomiyasu, as well as William Saliba who returned from loan…
