Manchester United want to sign Matheus Cunha, Inter Miami plot Kevin de Bruyne scoop and Everton enter race for Liam Delap.

Goalkeeper reveals side have trained to deal with them‘The first thing is not to concede too many corners’ Thibaut Courtois has revealed that Real Madrid are wary of Arsenal’s prowess from set pieces and have been preparing specifically for the challenge of facing them. The reigning European champions come into Tuesday’s first leg of their Champions League quarter-final at the Emirates following a 2-1 home defeat by Valencia in La Liga that left them four points behind leaders Barcelona. A poor defensive performance saw Madrid concede their 10th goal from a corner this season, although Carlo Ancelotti will welcome back Courtois and David Alaba from injury against Mikel Arteta’s side.

Team want to show progress since 3-2 loss in 2023Gamechanger Michelle Agyemang gets first senior call-up Sarina Wiegman says England want to “get revenge on ourselves” and prove they have made marked improvements since losing in Belgium a year and a half ago when they return to the same stadium here on Tuesday. The Lionesses were beaten 3-2 by Belgium on 31 October 2023 on their most recent visit to the King Power at Den Dreef stadium, a result which badly damaged their attempt to qualify for last summer’s Olympics on behalf of Team GB. It epitomised the somewhat sticky patch the injury-hit European champions were in at the time, their performances dipping after they lost the 2023 World Cup final. Continue reading...

We know Kevin de Bruyne is leaving Manchester City in the summer but former City keeper Shay Given explores who else might be going - and who should stay?

Injured striker is a blow but Marmoush’s impact since his move suggests team have speed to trouble Manchester United The bombshell that Kevin De Bruyne will leave Manchester City in the summer has overshadowed the buildup to the Manchester derby, but Pep Guardiola has a more pressing absence to deal with: working out how to play without the injured Erling Haaland. The Norwegian has scored 21 of Manchester City’s 57 league goals and few would argue he is not the best striker in the world. Before Wednesday’s victory over Leicester, he had missed one Premier League match all season, clocking up the second-highest number of minutes of any City player. Continue reading...

Forwards could replicate Russo and Toone’s gamechanging roles in 2022 at this summer’s European Championship There was a clear identity and formula to England’s all-conquering run to a first European title in 2022. The starting XI remained the same throughout and the impact, when the Lionesses needed it most, came from the bench, primarily through Alessia Russo and Ella Toone. The duo became known as the super-subs, their profiles becoming as big as those lining up at the start of each game, their arrival around the hour mark eagerly awaited. Continue reading...

BBC Sport's Chris Sutton, speaking on Football Focus, talks about the irreplaceable nature of Kevin de Bruyne and what's next for the midfielder, after he announced he was leaving Manchester City at the end of the season.

England’s ageless right-back proved she has no intention of slowing down soon with a performance which bodes well for the Euros There was a very summer 2022 feel to this England victory. From the throwback of seeing a confident Beth Mead finding acres of space down the right, to Keira Walsh hitting defence-splitting passes with ease, to a sold-out crowd enjoying the embers of the sunny weather and creating a party atmosphere as they revelled at the entertaining, attacking football being played by the European champions, with a level of cohesion rarely seen since the World Cup. The lineup was reminiscent of that 2022 Euros success too, with seven of this starting side here having been key components of the team that won the European title. Rolling back the years even further, though, was Lucy Bronze, because there was something very World Cup 2015 about the performance of the best player on the pitch. Continue reading...
