[ad_1] Sadio Mane has admitted adapting to Bayern Munich after joining from Liverpool hasn’t been “easy at all.” Mane’s start to life in Munich hasn’t been disastrous by any means with the forward getting six goals in his first 12 matches. However, he’s arguably yet to reach the level he was playing at in his final season at Liverpool, in which he got 16 goals in the Premier League. Speaking to UEFA.com, the 30-year-old admitted that, while he’s happy with how things are going, he hasn’t found it easy adapting to his new club and surroundings. “It is going well,” he said. “Switching from oneRead More →

[ad_1] Pep Guardiola says Manchester City have plans in place for continued success and will not suffer when he decides to leave. The former Barcelona boss is in the final year of his contract at the Etihad, though there are no signs of discontent or a potential departure before next season. Guardiola has signed two contract extensions with City having joined in 2016 on an initial three-year deal as Manuel Pellegrini’s successor and firmly believes the club will continue to enjoy success after he’s gone. “There will be zero problems. I am 100 per cent convinced about that. The club knows exactly what is theRead More →

[ad_1] Atlanta United head coach Gonzalo Pineda says he remains unsure about Josef Martinez’s future at the club. Martinez is an icon at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, scoring a club-record 111 goals in 157 appearances across all competitions to help the Five Stripes lift MLS Cup, US Open Cup, and Campeones Cup titles. However, the Venezuelan striker’s relationship with the club has become strained as the years have gone by, culminating in a one-match suspension last month due to ‘conduct detrimental to the team’. Martinez scored an incredible bicycle kick in Atlanta United’s 2-1 defeat to the New England Revolution on Saturday – a result that knocksRead More →

[ad_1] Mallorca fell to a narrow 1-0 defeat at home to Barcelona which sent the visitors to the top of La Liga’s table on Saturday evening. “Oh my God,” Mallorca’s manager Javier Aguirre gushed pre-game. “I’ve seen him on TV. It’s a good signing for the league.” Well, the arrival of Robert Lewandowski is certainly a plus for one particular La Liga side – and it wasn’t Mallorca as the prolific Pole proved the difference. The defensively stubborn hosts regularly sunk into a compact 5-4-1 off the ball, desperately trying to limit any space between the lines when Barcelona sauntered over halfway. Barcelona patiently proddedRead More →

[ad_1] He’s come in for plenty of stick during his time in Fort Lauderdale but, right now, Gonzalo Higuain is carrying Inter Miami to the MLS Cup Playoffs. The veteran Argentine striker scored the late winner in a vital 1-0 victory away at Toronto FC on Friday night, leaving the Herons on the cusp of sealing their post-season spot. It was Higuain’s 14th goal in 26 MLS appearances this season and his sixth in his last six games alone. A far cry from the player that arrived to so much fanfare in September 2020 after playing for the likes of Real Madrid, Juventus, Chelsea, andRead More →

[ad_1] West Ham climbed out of the relegation zone with a 2-0 win against Wolves on Saturday, with Bruno Lage’s men replacing them in the bottom three. David Moyes’ side picked up their first home Premier League win of the season to ease their early woes and move to within three points of the top half. Wolves opened the evening with three decent chances, with Daniel Podence and Jonny Otto being denied by Lukasz Fabianski while Matheus Nunes flashed an effort across the face of goal. That ropey start seemed to spark life into West Ham, with Gianluca Scamacca twice going close for the hosts.Read More →

The 38-year-old has spent 18 seasons as an MLS player, 10 of which have been with the Rapids.

[ad_1] Chelsea had substitute Conor Gallagher to thank for their low quality comeback win over Crystal Palace – his first ever goal for the club that he refused to celebrate against a team that did so much for him during an incredibly successful loan last season. Odsonne Edouard had given Palace an early lead that they deserved on balance, before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang cancelled that out with a goal on his first Premier League game since returning to English football from Barcelona last month. Palace were well drilled in their shape, with Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise both disciplined in midfield out of possession but thenRead More →

[ad_1] Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte has said that Emerson Royal needs to ‘exploit this situation’ and learn from his mistakes after he was sent off in Saturday’s 3-1 loss at Arsenal. Spurs went behind in the derby to a Thomas Partey strike before a Harry Kane penalty saw them go into half-time on level terms. However, Gabriel Jesus put the hosts back in front on the other side of the break, and Tottenham’s day was made all the more difficult when Emerson was shown a red card for a challenge on Gabriel Martinelli’s Achilles. Granit Xhaka scored the final goal of the day soonRead More →
