Pep Guardiola says he will not compromise his principles despite his Manchester City side being well beaten by Leicester City. The Premier League Champions led at one stage by four goals thanks to a Jamie Vardy hat trick and Andy King strike before two late goals from Aleksander Kolarov and Nolito made the final scoreline look a more respectable 4-2. But Guardiola insisted his side didn’t play badly, though he admitted he must quickly find a way of stopping the opposition from scoring so easily. “I have to improve to solve that, yes, that’s true,” he told a news conference.…
Barcelona ended a run of three straight draws as they beat La Liga’s bottom side Osasuna 3-0 on Saturday. Luis Suarez opened the scoring at El Sadar in the second half before Lionel Messi added two more to become the league’s outright top goal scorer with 11. Luis Enrique’s side are now three points behind Real Madrid, although they’ve played a game more. 7 — Luis Enrique made two big calls: Samuel Umtiti over Javier Mascherano and Andre Gomes over Ivan Rakitic. It will be interesting to see if they’re decisions which will be replicated when there is more on…
“You don’t give yourself a chance when you go 2-0 down after four minutes.” Not the words of Pep Guardiola but Stuart Pearce, Manchester City manager in 2006, after a memorably inept display at Wigan Athletic in 2006. Guardiola’s leaky line-up reminded the onlooker of those tactically barren days ten years ago, as City’s defence was once again trampled to pieces in the rush to score. With the away side racking up in excess of 600 passes, it must have been particularly galling to be 4-0 down to a Leicester side using less than a total of 10 passes for…
Real Madrid set a club record of 35 games unbeaten in all competitions with a late rally for a 3-2 win against Deportivo on Saturday. They needed a remarkable comeback to extend the run. Substitute Mariano Diaz equalised with six minutes left and Sergio Ramos sent the Bernabeu into delirium when he powered in a header from a corner during stoppage-time — just a week after his late equaliser against Barcelona. Madrid had equalled the record with a 2-2 draw against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Wednesday that saw the holders only qualify for the knockout stages of…
With Real Madrid’s top three attackers out of the lineup, Sergio Ramos delivered a stoppage-time goal to complete a late comeback for a 3-2 win over Deportivo La Coruna in La Liga on Saturday. The result set Real Madrid’s club record of 35 games unbeaten in all competitions, though the run looked to be in jeopardy until Mariano Diaz’s 84th-minute equaliser. Madrid were playing without any of their front-line stars Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzama for the first time in the league since May 2014, and had to wait until the second half to take the lead from…
Luis Enrique says Barcelona will have to continue improving if they want to catch La Liga leaders Real Madrid. Barca took advantage of playing before their title rivals this weekend by beating Osasuna 3-0, moving within three points of Zinedine Zidane’s side. Lionel Messi scored twice after Luis Suarez had opened the scoring in the second half, but Luis Enrique felt the match should have been wrapped up before half-time. “We were aware of the difficulty of this game,” the Barca coach said after his side ended a run of three consecutive draws in the league. “It was key to…
Jamie Vardy scored a hat trick as Leicester City put their recent poor form behind them with a 4-2 win over Manchester City at the King Power Stadium. The Foxes tore into their visitors from the start and were two goals to the good after only five minutes. After three minutes, Riyad Mahrez laid the ball off to Islam Slimani, who slipped a pass between two defenders for Vardy to run on and bury an emphatic finish for his first Leicester goal in two months. Manchester City looked uncertain in teeming rain in the Midlands, with Premier League champions Leicester…
While speaking yesterday at the Music Week Africa conference yesterday, Nigerian music star D’banj was reported to have said that Nigeria has no piracy issues and he has never had any piracy issues. In his words, ‘Nigeria is the only country in the world that does not have piracy. As far as I’m concerned, I’ve never been pirated because it’s the same place they are selling original that they are selling the fake CDs.’ Wait. Let’s see if he means the same piracy that the whole Nigerian music industry has been railing against since forever. Simply put, music piracy is…

Everybody expects Nigeria to perform because of our quality human and material resources. So this is putting a lot…

Obanikoro was set free by EFCC personnel after returning N134M with a promise to refund more. He had turned himself into the…
