Manchester United could not get anything better than a 0-0 draw at Old Trafford by PSV Eindhoven that left the English side facing exit from the UEFA Champions League. The draw means United are yet to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League when a victory would have seen them do just that. United go to Wolfsburg for their final group match and a draw, combined with a PSV victory over already eliminated CSKA Moscow would end Louis van Gaal’s men’s hopes. Bastian Schweinsteiger registered the first effort of the game, but his 25-yard shot was easily dealt…
Four players from the English Premier League have been shockingly included in the UEFA Champions League team of the week for match day 5. According to uefa.com, only Lionel Messi (Barcelona) and Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann excelled enough from La Liga teams to be included, while Bayern Munich’s Kingsley Coman represents the German Bundesliga. The four players from the Premier League are Chelsea pair Gary Cahill and Willian, who scored his sixth freekick goal against Maccabi Tel Aviv on Tuesday; Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez and Manchester United’s Marcos Rojo. The biggest surprise in the XI is however Gent goalkeeper Matz Sels.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger plan to risk playing Alexis Sanchez in Sunday’s away trip to Carrow Road against Norwich City despite concerns over the striker’s fitness. There have been concerns about the forward’s fitness levels in recent weeks after a gruelling start to the season for the Chilean. Sanchez was not afforded the chance to rest in the summer following his involvement with Chile in Copa America. Wenger said ahead of the game against the Canaries that the pacy forward has been carrying a hamstring complaint in recent days, but suggested he is planning to rest him. “Spontaneously, it might…
boss Wenger had said league leaders Leicester “cannot be ruled out” as contenders but Ranieri says survival is the target for now. “Thank you to Arsene but he’s a joker. He knows the truth very well,” said the Italian. “The league is very strange and open but our goal is 40 points.” Ranieri added: “Our goal at the moment is this but let me see the next two months and then maybe I change the goal. “Like everybody else I am also curious in these days to watch my team, and to see how we respond in these big matches.”
The Dutchman, who said exactly the same thing in August, said the club will not be letting any players go in the January transfer window. “You can ask again about Sadio, Manchester United, Chelsea, but we will sell nobody in January,” Koeman said, following reports linking the 23-year-old with a move to United. Mane has scored six goals this season. Koeman, 52, said the lure of Champions League football remains a sticking point to convincing players to commit to mid-level clubs in the long-term. “They are showing qualities, and then of course big teams are interested,” he added. “It’s a…
The 26-year-old was hoping to make a return on Thursday from a knee injury which has kept him sidelined since 4 October. However, the England international has been sent for a scan after complaining of discomfort in a foot. “I don’t know too much about the situation,” said Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp. Speaking after Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Bordeaux secured the Reds a place in the last 32, Klopp added: “It wasn’t a situation I saw because we trained in two groups – the starting line-up and the other players. “It was really close to the game when the news…
Foxes, who finished 14th last season, are currently top of the table, one point ahead of Manchester United. They meet on Saturday (17:30 GMT) and when asked if Claudio Ranieri’s team could win the league, Van Gaal said: “It is possible, I think.” Van Gaal called Leicester striker Jamie Vardy, the league’s 13-goal top scorer, a “nasty” player to come up against. Vardy marked his first Premier League start by making four goals and scoring the other as the Foxes beat United 5-3 in September 2014. The England international, 28, has equalled former United forward Ruud van Nistelrooy’s record of…
Andre Schuerrle came off the bench to assist one goal and score another as Wolfsburg won 2-0 away to CSKA Moscow in Group B of the Champions League on Wednesday. The former Chelsea player came on for Daniel Caligiuri just over an hour in at the Arena Khimki with the game still goalless but he was responsible for getting the breakthrough in the 67th minute. His low driven shot from the right side of the penalty box appeared to be going wide of the far post but CSKA ‘keeper Igor Akinfeev got a firm hand to the ball and could…
Sweden forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic crowned a triumphant homecoming with a second-half goal as Paris St Germain crushed Malmo 5-0 on Wednesday to seal a place in the last 16 of the Champions League. With the 34-year-old Ibrahimovic captaining PSG for the night, Adrien Rabiot netted the first goal after three minutes by heading home Gregory van der Wiel’s pinpoint cross. Angel Di Maria doubled the advantage when he smartly slotted the ball past Johan Wiland 11 minutes later after Blaise Matuidi had played a searching ball across Malmo’s penalty area. Ibrahimovic struck five minutes into the second half, surging in…
Manchester United fans paid tribute to late club great George Best as their team played PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday, 10 years to the day since he died aged 59. Fans illuminated the screens on their smartphones and held them aloft during the seventh minute of the Champions League game, in a nod to the shirt number most closely associated with the richly talented Northern Irish winger. Supporters had earlier hung a new banner in the stadium bearing the legend ‘GEORGIE… SIMPLY THE BEST,’ while fans laid roses at Best’s feet on the statue of him, Denis Law and Bobby Charlton…
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal agreed he was “worried” about his team’s goal-scoring problems after a goalless draw with PSV Eindhoven left their Champions League campaign in the balance. Victory on Wednesday would have taken United into the last 16, but with Jesse Lingard blazing their best chance over the bar in the second half, they must now win away to Group B leaders Wolfsburg in their final match to be sure of a place in the knockout phase. United have scored only six goals in their last eight games, four of which have been 0-0 draws, but while…
Real Madrid will be hoping a change of scenery provides an upturn in fortunes when they travel to Basque minnows Eibar’s 6 000 capacity Ipurua on Sunday aiming to make amends for their 4-0 humiliation by Barcelona. Club president Florentino Perez insisted he still has full confidence in coach Rafael Benitez despite both being targeted by the Madrid fans with calls to resign last weekend. That confidence was unlikely to have been assured, though, by a nervous final 15 minutes in Ukraine on Wednesday as Madrid slipped from cruising into a 4-0 lead away to Shakhtar Donetsk to holding on…
Manchester City were harshly rewarded for their lack of killer instinct in front of goal in Wednesday’s 1-0 loss to Italian champions Juventus in the Champions League, midfielder Yaya Toure has said. City have already qualified for the knockout stages but will be braced up to avoid the fate of their last two campaigns when they went through only as group runners-up, drew Barcelona in the last 16 and suffered early exits. The Sky Blues let their fate slip out of their hands on Wednesday when Mario Mandzukic struck in the 18th minute, just after Fernandinho had missed a golden…
Paris St Germain’s brilliant start to the season will mean nothing if the French side fails to go a step further in the Champions League, coach Laurent Blanc has said. PSG thrashed Malmo 5-0 away on Wednesday to advance into the last 16 of Europe’s premium club competition and they are sitting on a 13-point cushion at the top of the Ligue 1 standings after just 14 rounds. It is not the first time, however, that the capital side impressed early on and Blanc knows too well that PSG will be judged when the European spring dawns. They reached the…
Madrid gained back their scoring touch against Shakhtar Donetsk on Wednesday but a fine attacking performance was nearly spoiled by lingering problems in defence that almost saw them throw away a four-goal lead. Real needed a positive display in the Champions League Group A clash in Lviv after Saturday’s 4-0 drubbing at home to arch rivals Barcelona in La Liga and forwards Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale in particular looked sharp and hungry again after performing shabbily in recent weeks. Real were already 4 nil up by the 70th minute thanks to a Ronaldo double either side of goals from…
