A blond-haired Lionel Messi failed to get on the scoresheet but it hardly mattered as under-strength Barcelona taught Celtic a footballing lesson in a Dublin friendly on Saturday. Strikes by Arda Turan and Munir El Haddadi, and an own goal by Efe Ambrose – all before the break – were enough to earn a 3-1 victory for Luis Garcia’s men in what was their first game back after the summer. Leigh Griffiths had replied to Turan’s opener, but boss Brendan Rodgers will be concerned with how vulnerable his defence looked once again, ahead of Celtic’s crucial Champions League third qualifying…
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp put Saturday’s 2-0 win over AC Milan down to the team’s impressive performance rather than individual ability. The Reds ran out convincing winners at Levi’s Stadium in the International Champions Cup fixture with second-half goals from Divock Origi and Roberto Firmino. Origi broke the deadlock against the Serie A outfit following a wonderful strike in the 58th minute, with the Belgian striker impressing in his first appearance of the preseason. However, Klopp insisted in a news conference after the meeting with the Italian side that the victory came from efforts by all those that featured. “Everybody…
It used to be so different, not least for clubs like Arsenal, whose manager might look back now with a wry smile. In August 2011, ahead of his side’s Champions League qualifier with Udinese, Arsene Wenger was asked about the cost of failing to reach the competition — not least in the transfer market. It almost dominated the buildup to the game more than the question of actually playing in the competition. Usually so detached and sensible about these kind of hyperactive discussions, the Arsenal manager outright admitted that “it is easier” to sign higher-quality players if you make it…
Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane confirmed that forward Jese Rodriguez is in transfer talks with Paris Saint-Germain, while also stating that forward Alvaro Morata will remain with Los Blancos. Jese had previously been linked with PSG, and was held out of Saturday’s 3-2 win over Chelsea in the International Champions Cup. Zidane said it was because of an impending deal. “Yes, [Jese] has been speaking to PSG, but there’s nothing official yet, so the idea was not to risk him,” said Zidane in his post-match news conference. Morata had previously been reported to be a target of Chelsea, but Zidane…

Zlatan Ibrahimovic made a dream start to his Manchester United career by scoring acrobatically in just the fourth-minute of his debut as they won 5-2 against Galatasaray in Gothenburg with Wayne Rooney netting twice. United had to recover from a 2-1 deficit at half-time but they out-played the opposition in the second half with Antonio Valencia eventually setting up three of the team’s goals.

United manager Jose Mourinho again fielded a starting line-up in a…
Jamie Vardy has told Sky Sports he found the decision to reject Arsenal to sign a new contract with Leicester “quite easy” and believes the Premier League champions will continue their progress next season. Vardy, 29, opted to turn down an opportunity to move to Arsenal when they triggered a release clause in his contract, and he said a major factor behind that was the spirit Leicester have fostered. “It’s not been put out there that I have always said the boys, the close-knit brotherhood, is unbelievable and for me, there’s a lot of unfinished business here,” he said. “I…
Arsene Wenger has called Paul Pogba’s expected £100 million transfer to Manchester United “completely crazy.” Pogba is on the verge of a record-breaking move from Juventus to United in a deal that will reach more than £100m when agents fees are included.
