We need to think big. I believe in myself: Bruno Guimaraes

Eddie Howe calls him ‘an incredible guy’ and teammates have been taken by his infectious personality. It helps, of course, that he can play - his stats show him to be the best midfielder in the country on current form.

Rob will have an adjustment period to understand the issues and will need to...

It is a classic Shastri-ism, the same mustachioed chutzpah that has run through from his playing days like words in a stick of rock. He and Key are different characters – there is only one Ravi Shastri, let’s be honest – but both call the game as they see it. And though the 59-year-old warns there will be resentment of his slightly left-field appointment, he is adamant the volume of cricket that modern commentators consume around the world is an advantage over those who come through one system.

I don’t regret that at all: Ralf Rangnick

“I don’t regret that at all. As a manager you always have to question and ask yourself what you could have done better, if I could have played with a different formation in certain games, if a substitution could have been done earlier. This is what always happens we always ask question ourselves what we could have done better.

We won this tie thanks to energy. I made the changes. I made to...

Carlo Ancelotti's substitutions made the difference for Real Madrid on Tuesday night as they came from behind to eliminate Chelsea in the Champions League quarterfinals.

I’ve got to focus on what I can control and that is bowling as...

“If the England call doesn’t come, I will still play here at Lancashire this season. I have never looked too far ahead in my career. It’s always game-by-game and series-by-series and season-by-season. I’ll have to take it season by season.”

We want to win everything but the Champions League is the big one: Jack...

Grealish will be hoping to lace up his boots for England again at the World Cup later this year, but first comes the quest for honours with City — and savouring his first season of Champions League football. Last season’s runners-up are trying to go one step further. The hope now is for an even more spectacular conclusion.

Everyone needs to arrive tomorrow to support us: Thomas Tuchel

Thomas Tuchel called on Chelsea’s supporters to raise the roof when the European champions host Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday night.

The International Labour Organisation has described Qatar’s reforms as historic: Hassan Al Thawadi

Haaland looks like he’d be better in two seasons, or so the rumour has...

Messi should return to Barcelona: Dani Alves

We are in a good place ahead of El Clasico: Xavi

Xavi Hernandez was full of praise for his Barcelona side as they advanced to the Europa League quarter-finals with a 2-1 aggregate victory over Galatasaray. However, he warned his side that their stunning recent form counts for nothing ahead of El Clasico on Sunday night.

I think the Clasico arrives at a good moment for us: Pedri

Pedri evoked memories of Lionel Messi as he helped Barcelona book their place in the Europa League quarterfinals with a 2-1 win at Galatasaray, but he says comparisons with the Argentina forward are "crazy."

Lionel Messi missed in La Liga: Javier Tebas

La Liga president Javier Tebas has told ESPN he misses Jose Mourinho and would love to see the Portuguese coach, along with Paris Saint-Germain's Lionel Messi, back in the Spanish league.

To wake up each morning, enjoy training sessions, giving my best. The passion I...

“My first memories from my childhood are being with him inside a dressing room, at training sessions, him taking me by the hand,” Radamel Falcao says. His is a family story, which makes it a football story too, told through photographs and in the quiet, almost gentle voice that characterises him, a hint of timidity in the man they call “The Tiger.”

I know in football it’s important to get good results as soon as possible...

It is inevitable that if you want to grow faster and if you want...

Real Madrid are the champions of Champions League

It felt like one of those old flicks they show on Saturday afternoons in which the gang successfully gets together for one final, big heist. Except, even without Mbappe, you suspect this won't be their last -- not when there's a guy like Ancelotti, one of the few men who can pull off the cardigan-cigar-shades combination and lead a team in transition to a league and cup double. Not with young guns - Vinicius, Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga, Rodrygo - already with the "big one" under their belt. Not with Courtois, in the prime of his career, staking a claim as the world's No. 1 between the posts and getting a few things off his chest. ("We showed again who is the King of Europe.")
