Fate gives Di Maria the chance for Real Madrid revenge in Neymar´s absence

It is a match which has been forgotten by many due to the historic and unlikely nature of Barcelona s 6-1 triumph in the second leg, but a little over a year ago, Paris Saint-Germain thumped the Catalans 4-0 in the Parc des Princes.

Although their collapse in the second leg of that round-of-16 tie overshadowed the win at home, PSG s triumph over Barca in Paris might just provide them with the inspiration they need as they look to defy adversity and pull off a comeback of their own.

The Ligue 1 pacesetters host Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday, seeking to overturn a 3-1 deficit without their star player and talisman, Neymar.

The fractured foot suffered by Neymar against Marseille on February 25 could well keep him out for the rest of the season, but,…

Tottenham didn´t win, Leicester presented them three points – Rodgers

Leicester City only suffered a late capitulation against Tottenham because they presented them with the chance to steal three points, according to Brendan Rodgers. 

Goals from Patson Daka and James Maddison either side of Harry Kane s 250th club strike appeared to have put Leicester on course for a much-needed victory at the King Power Stadium on Wednesday. 

However, Steven Bergwijn equalised in the 95th minute and grabbed a dramatic second 79 seconds later after Youri Tielemans ceded possession from the kick-off.  

Spurs win came despite trailing after 94 minutes and 52 seconds, which is the latest a team has been losing before going on to win a Premier League match. 

Rodgers criticised his players for failing to secure back-to-back top-fligh…

Milan ´deserved a victory´ in derby stalemate, claims Pioli

Milan boss Stefano Pioli believes his side deserved to beat rivals Inter in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final clash, but also claimed the goalless draw represented a good result .

The Milanese giants, who are split by just two points in a fierce Serie A title race, could not be separated at San Siro, with the lively Rafael Leao and Rade Krunic going closest for the more adventurous Rossoneri. 

Milan managed 13 attempts to Inter s seven in a cagey encounter, also creating 0.70 expected goals to the below-par Nerazzurri s 0.30, but were unable to break the deadlock. 

Although Pioli felt his team merited more from the encounter, he also professed himself pleased with the result, with Italy s preservation of the away goals rule perhaps making the Ross…

Klopp wary of Arsenal ´goal machine´ Aubameyang

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is wary of goal machine Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ahead of facing Arsenal on Saturday.

Klopp and Aubameyang spent two seasons together at Borussia Dortmund, the coach heading to Anfield in 2015 and the forward joining Arsenal in January 2018.

Aubameyang has impressed during his time in the Premier League, scoring 43 goals in 67 games in all competitions for Arsenal.

Klopp knows what his former forward is capable of, talking up Aubameyang ahead of the top-of-the-table clash between the clubs at Anfield.

Auba has actually no real weaknesses apart from his fashion style. I m really glad it has worked out well for him, because I really like him, he told UK newspapers.

I didn t think abut the Premier League when I signe…
