  Chelsea are linked with Yves Bissouma amid Aurelien Tchouameni Real Madrid transfer. Quite frankly, Thomas Tuchel should get the better end of the deal. Chelsea reportedly have a ‘long-term’ interest in Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma. With the speculation of Aurélien Tchouaméni choosing a Real Madrid move ahead of a move to Stamford Bridge, the Blues have found a stellar alternative. The summer transfer window will expect Thomas Tuchel’s side to make moves in the market as they prepare for a squad rebuild. Defenders will be first on Tuchel’s list, but a midfielder would be just as important of a slot to fill for next season. N’Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic and Jorginho have been exhausted throughout this past season, and it is far to say that another quality midfielder is needed. But not for a ridiculous price. Tchouaméni has been a Chelsea target since the last summer transfer window. It has been near impossible to get a deal negotiated with AS Monaco for the Frenchman with the s...

  The 2021/22 Champions League final is all it takes to spot the game’s most important head-to-head, the battle for space and for supremacy that will likely define which of Liverpool or Real Madrid lifts the trophy in Paris. Liverpool’s crucial attacking weapon up against Real’s most important counterattacker. Neither is likely to pin the other, and neither is likely to fully succeed in their defensive mission. Vinicius Junior versus Trent Alexander-Arnold: the impossibly-quick left winger up against the right-back who can struggle defending one-on-ones.  Real Madrid sit right back, absorbing pressure for long periods before utilising the experience of their best players to break at just the right moments. This was most noticeable in the two legs against Paris Saint-Germain, when fear of Kylian Mbappe’s pace saw a particularly extreme example of remaining in a hunched formation that drew PSG forward – limiting the French side’s capacity to play with speed. Consequently, it is ...

Jamie Carragher says he is "confident" that Liverpool will beat Real Madrid in Saturday's Champions League final as the Spanish side have "carried a lot of luck" to be in the showpiece event in Paris. Jurgen Klopp's Reds are looking for their third trophy of the season after claiming the FA and Carabao Cups earlier in the campaign. Carlo Ancelotti's Real - who are 13-times winners of the competition - will pose a difficult task having knocked out Manchester City, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain on the way to the final. But Carragher believes Los Blancos had a lot of luck in those knockout victories, which saw the Spanish giants come from behind to win those ties. Carragher told  Sky Bet  "I've watched Real Madrid in the Champions League this season and they've lost more games in the Champions League than Liverpool have lost all season in all competitions. "Real Madrid are a very good team but they're not as good as Man City and I do...

Rio Ferdinand, claims     Manchester United have failed to provide Cristiano Ronaldo with a ‘platform for success’ since his return to Old Trafford. Ronaldo returned to Man United from Juventus last summer, 12 years after he departed for Real Madrid. Despite Ronaldo being joined by Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane as new arrivals, Man United went on to have their worst ever Premier League campaign, finishing down in the sixth position in the table. On a personal level he does what Ronaldo does, he scores goals, he wins games and without Ronaldo, they don’t get out of the knockout stages of the Champions League,” Ferdinand told FootballJOE “He’s scored winning goals multiple times and he has held up his side of the bargain. “I think the club obviously hasn’t played their role in terms of giving him the platform for success. “We have to wait and see,” Ferdinand added when asked if Ronaldo will fit under the new manager, Erik Ten Hag.

 Manchester City have won a fourth Premier League title in five years after Pep Guardiola’s side beat Aston Villa 3-2 on a dramatic final day of the 2021-22 season. Their closest challengers, Liverpool, won 3-1 against Aston Villa at home, meaning City won the title by a solitary point. City were 2-0 down after goals from Matty Cash and Philippe Coutinho, but roared back in the final 15 minutes of the game. Ilkay Gundogan headed past Robin Olsen in the 76th minute to pull one back, with the Swedish keeper then failing to keep out Rodri's driven strike two minutes later.

  Kylian Mbappe reportedly lost 700,000 followers on Instagram after rejecting Real Madrid and choosing to stay at Paris Saint-Germain. The 23-year-old looked set to join Real as a free agent, with his previous PSG contract expiring in the summer. A lucrative offer in the eleventh hour saw Mbappe commit his future to the Ligue 1 giants and sign a three-year deal. It’s a decision that’s gone down well in the French capital but over in Madrid, there are one or two quite unhappy.
