German referee Felix Brych will take charge of England vs Ukraine – just days after the Three Lions dumped his nation out of Euro 2020. Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane grabbed the goals as Gareth Southgate’s side defeated Germany 2-0 at Wembley on Tuesday. That was enough to fire England into the quarters where they are now preparing to take on Ukraine in Rome. And the man in the middle will be someone who would have wanted England to lose two days ago. Brych is Germany’s representative at Euro 2020 and one of the best-known referees in the world. He took charge of Portugal’s last 16 exit to Belgium, a match in which he dished out five yellow cards. He’s already refereed Ukraine at this tournament, overseeing their thrilling 3-2 defeat to Holland. That match saw Ukraine boss Andriy Shevchen...
Manchester City are looking to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur and they are ready to offload some of their big-name players. According to reports from The Atheltic, the likes of Gabriel Jesus, Bernardo Silva, Raheem Sterling, Aymeric Laporte and Riyad Mahrez were mentioned as potential makeweights in a deal for Kane. It gives an indication that these players are expendables in Pep Guardiola’s squad, and that the club could be ready to cash in on them. Arsenal are showing keen interest in two Manchester City players as they look to find ways to bolster their attacking department this summer. The Gunners, who finished eighth last season, want to show ambition in the market, and they have decided to check on the status of both Sterling and Mahrez, according to reports from EuroSpo...
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has reportedly made his stance clear on Harry Kane. There is a genuine fear that Kane could finally leave the north London club this summer, irrespective of whoever the club appoint as their next manager. The England striker is currently preparing for the upcoming Euro tournament, but his future at the north London club remains a key talking point. Both the Manchester clubs are heavily interested in signing Kane, with City being more proactive of the two. According to a recent report from The Sun, City are prepared to offer both Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus in a player(s)-plus-cash deal to sign Kane. However, the same publication has claimed that Levy has no interest in entertaining such offer, and that he wants only cash for Kane. The report ...
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has reacted to Sergio Aguero’s shocking penalty miss during Manchester City’s 2-1 defeat to Chelsea at the Etihad on Saturday. Man City took the lead through Raheem Sterling in the first half and Aguero shockingly missed the opportunity to give the home side a 2-0 lead before the half time whistle. The Argentine attempted a Panenka penalty but the chipped effort lacked conviction and was comfortably saved by Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy. Chelsea came back very strong in the second, putting up an impressive display that gave them 2 goals from Hakim Ziyech and Marcos Alonso. With the win, the Blues delayed Manchester City’s Premier League title celebrations and also gave the west London outfit a psychological advantage ahead of the Champions League fina...
Manchester City forward Sergio Aguero has issued an apology for his penalty miss against Chelsea. Aguero made a hash of his Panenka effort on Saturday, spooning the kick straight into the arms of Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy. It was a surprising slip from the usually unerring Argentine, but it was in keeping with a torrid season for the Premier League leaders from 12 yards out and contributed to a 2-1 defeat that prevented City from claiming the title. City boss Pep Guardiola refused to criticise the forward following the game, but Aguero has taken to Twitter to issue an apology. “I would like to apologise to my team-mates, staff and supporters for missing the penalty,” Aguero wrote. “It was a bad decision and I take full responsibility.” Aguero’s Panenka nightmare was the fourth penal...
Raheem Sterling says rumours he was involved in a bust up with Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola are false. Sterling was an unused substitute against Southampton last week and was then left out of the squad entirely for City’s victory over Fulham on Saturday night. And on Sunday, a rumour emerged on Reddit claiming that the winger and team-mate Phil Foden had both fallen out with Guardiola over their lack of playing time. But writing on Twitter on Sunday night, Sterling vehemently denied the rumours. Sterling has contributed 13 goals and eight assists for City in all competitions this season.

Manchester City booked their place in the last 16 of the Champions League but there were more concerns for Pep Guardiola over his side’s lack of ruthlessness in a 1-0 win at Olympiakos on Wednesday. Phil Foden’s low strike nine minutes before half-time ensured City deservedly kept up their 100 percent record in Europe this season. But a one-goal margin of victory was a scant reward for the visitors’ dominance even with a heavily-rotated side. Guardiola made five changes to the team beaten 2-0 at Tottenham on Saturday to see City off to their worst league start since the first few months of the club’s Abu Dhabi-backed ownership. Scoring goals has been City’s big problem in the Premier League, but they had scored three in each of their opening three Champions League wins over Porto, Marseill...
With the millions they have invested in top players and with the most respected coach of his generation in charge, Manchester City should be doing much better than going out of the Champions League in the last eight. But after their shock 3-1 defeat by Olympique Lyonnais on Saturday that is exactly what City have done in the last three years. Guardiola was brought into the club, by their Abu Dhabi based owner Sheikh Mansour, after his predecessor as manager, Chilean Manuel Pellegrini had taken the club to the semi-finals of the Champions League, while also winning the Premier League title. And while Guardiola has brought two Premier League titles, smashed records and produced some of the most glorious football the club’s fans have ever seen — European success remains elusive to his team. C...
The video of Kevin De Bruyne’s supposed assist against Arsenal has gone viral after the Manchester City superstar equaled Thierry Henry’s Premier League record. De Bruyne finished the 2019/20 Premier League campaign with an impressive 20 assists to his name. He equaled Henry’s long-time record, but the Belgium maestro believes he was robbed of an assist earlier in the season at the Emirates. City beat Arsenal 3-0 with Raheem Sterling opening the scoring courtesy of a ball from De Bruyne who wasn’t officially attributed with the assist. After going level with Henry on Sunday, a City fan suggested the 29-year-old should appeal to become the new assist leader. “KDB needs to appeal for this and get the record,” the social media account wrote, accompanied with footage of De Bruyne’s non-assist ...
