Selecting a dream five-a-side team is very much the done thing for footballers these days. Just this week, Chelsea’s Willian unveiled his own very impressive line-up (but didn’t bother choosing a goalkeeper), and his fellow Brazilian Fernandinho snubbed all of his Manchester City team-mates, when he announced his. Another of City’s stars, Jesus Navas, is the latest to reveal […]

You couldn’t make it up. If it still hurts for Liverpool fans to relive Stevie Gerrard’s infamous slip in their crucial title run-in game with Chelsea back in 2014, they may want to look away now. It seems incoming defender Joel Matip has previous of just such an incident. The circumstances may have very different but the action plays out […]

Forget what else was going on in the Europa League on Thursday evening, the goal of the night undoubtedly came in Marseille. Athletic Bilbao were visiting the French side, and opened the scoring courtesy of this absolute thunderbolt of a volley from Aritz Aduriz. An utterly magnificent Golazo from Aduriz vs Marseille.

If you watched Manchester United slump to a 2-1 defeat to FC Midtjylland, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the Danish champions are pretty handy when it comes to racking up the goals. They might have only scored twice past Sergio Romero, but the Argentine had to be on top form to keep it at […]

Another dismal performance from Manchester United, and the spotlight was once again turned on Louis van Gaal. Amongst other things, such as the injury to David De Gea and Jesse Lingard’s failure to convert a couple of chances, the United boss suggested that the defeat to FC Midtjylland was down to ‘the law of Murphy’.

You have to feel for Manchester United supporters that made the trip to Denmark. After contending with the unusually high ticket prices for the game with FC Midtjylland, the travelling fans vented their frustration at their team after they lost, 2-1. https://twitter.com/dangerousattack/status/700422441701605376 With a return leg next week, United face a difficult task if they […]

Billed by some as the perfect fixture to ease the pressure on Louis van Gaal, Manchester United’s trip to FC Midtjylland was another game to forget. Having taken a lead through Memphis Depay, the Danish champions replied with two goals either side of half-time, to condemn United to another away defeat in Europe. Unsurprisingly, their […]

Following a late injury to David de Gea, Sergio Romero was given a rare start for Manchester United in Denmark. FC Midtjylland had cancelled Memphis Depay’s opener out just before half time, but the home side would have taken a lead on 62 minutes had it not been for for an incredible save from the […]

Having taken the lead in Denmark, Manchester United were quickly pegged back by a Sisto equaliser. https://twitter.com/NPlayerVine/status/700390811515674624 The Ugandan finished well, but his life was made much easier when he was presented the ball by the usually reliable Michael Carrick. Within minutes, United fans were raging at their longest serving midfielder. If Carrick insists on playing […]

Manchester United took the lead against FC Midtjylland, seconds after the home team missed a glorious chance to open the scoring. Having spurned a one on one with Sergio Romero, Memphis Depay scrambled the ball in to the Midtjylland goal.

Two legs against FC Midtjylland isn’t exactly the kind of glamorous European tie that Manchester United have been used to over recent years, but given their position in the Premier League, success in the Europa League could represent their best chance of returning to the Champions League next season. Following the news that Wayne Rooney will miss the […]

What exactly is he getting at? Messi’s ‘pass-penalty‘ against Celta Vigo, eventually dispatched by Luis Suarez, has generated all sorts of reactions, from admiration to condemnation. But now Cristiano Ronaldo has had his say, and it is being taken as a cryptic dig at his great rival. The Portuguese was asked about the spot-kick ahead of […]

Is Eden Hazard trying to force Chelsea’s hand? Certainly his performance against PSG in the first leg of Chelsea’s Champions League encounter left a lot to be desired.

Edison Cavani’s late goal might have taken some of the shine off a decent Chelsea performance in Paris, but as we always hear after the first leg of a Champions League tie – ‘it’s only half-time’. The 2-1 defeat was the first suffered by Guus Hiddink since returning to Chelsea. Incredibly, the Dutchman also only lost […]

A bit too cocky? Following the final whistle at the Parc des Princes, Gary Lineker claimed a 2-1 lead at home in the first-half of a European fixture was the most precarious of leads.

Given the phenomenal career he’s had, it takes a brave man to start questioning Cristiano Ronaldo about his goal scoring record.

Unsurprisingly, Ronaldo […]

He never scores, yet John Obi Mikel had a significant role in both first half goals at the Parc des Princes.
