Still picking themeselves up from losing Neymar in a painful manner to Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona began their season badly in need of reasons for optimism, but instead got a view of the growing difference they face to catch rivals Real Madrid. Madrid emerged 3-1 victors from the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup on Sunday, but more significantly showed who is boss ahead of the new campaign as their success under Zinedine Zidane shows no sign of slowing down after a Champions League and La Liga double last season. Unless a stunning Barca comeback takes place in Wednesday’s second…

That is according to Spanish outlet Diario Gol, who claim the Premier League champions are willing to cut a player-plus-cash deal. Stamford Bridge chiefs have set an asking price worth £109m (€120m) for Hazard. But they could be tempted to drop their asking price if Barcelona throw Sergi Roberto into the deal. Barcelona are desperate to sign a replacement for Neymar and, despite eyeing Ousmane Dembele and Philippe Coutinho, Hazard is on their wish list. Reports in Spain earlier this month suggested Antonio Conte has asked Chelsea to launch a move for Roberto.
New season, same excitement, same problems. Only the eternally charitable could call Watford’s late equaliser a shock. It renewed focus on Liverpool’s inability to buy proper defensive reinforcements this summer. On a day that was hardly vintage, the Reds still scored three and could easily have scored another four. Their firepower when players perform at their peak level could be frightening. If only games were played solely in the opposition half. What else? Two more goals conceded from corners proved little or nothing has been done to rectify Liverpool’s main flaw. GK Simon Mignolet, 6 — Little he could do…
Pep Guardiola was glad to avoid an opening day defeat but insists Manchester City need to improve their attacking if they are to challenge for the title. “Before the Sergio goal we had chances in the first half and the second half and in these sort of games when teams defend with 10 players, deeper, deeper it’s so important to score the first goal,” Guardiola told a news conference. “After the first one it was a little bit easier but the first game is always a little bit complicated. We saw what happened in many [other] games. Especially with a…

Manchester United defender Daley Blind is the victim this time around – and has fallen foul of the old ctrl+c in the exact same way that Victor Anichebe infamously did last year. Blind was clearly asked to update his Instagram post with a picture of himself in United’s new third kit. But as he pulled the PR-filled caption off the email and into the app, he clearly forgot to give it the old once over. The Dutchman in fact forgot to delete his representative’s request to upload the picture. The caption said: “Hi mate, would you be ok posting this…
Rooney was thrown in from the outset in Everton’s Premier League opener and did not disappoint, with his header late in the first half enough to secure a 1-0 victory against Stoke. “On a personal level scoring the winning goal at Goodison Park is a special moment,” England’s all-time top scorer told broadcasters after the match. “It doesn’t get much better. To play for this club is a huge deal for me.

Mauricio Pochettino has joked that Harry Kane is tiring of being lavished with praise by the Tottenham Hotspur boss. Kane will register his 100th goal for the club if he scores in Sunday’s Premier League match at Newcastle, a milestone he will have reached in 166 games. The England striker has yet to hit the target in August in the top flight but Pochettino believes he remains a special player. ‘It’s a massive achievement. I think Harry is one of the best strikers in the world. It gets boring because I repeat it,’ Pochettino said ‘Harry finds it boring sometimes…

I didn’t get it (the transfer…

I worked in three other leagues apart from the English one…
