Real Madrid forward Bale is usually on his summer holidays when major tournaments are held, but not this time with Wales playing Portugal on Wednesday for a place in the final of Euro 2016. And Bale admits he hopes if Wales do get through then it is Germany, and not their last-four opponents France, who are waiting for them in the Paris final on Sunday. “I remember [Real Madrid teammate] Toni Kroos saying we’d only…

The 27-year-old Mkhitaryan is set to make a move to Old Trafford in the coming days after spending three seasons at the Bundesliga club. And Gundogan says, while it may take some time, the Armenia international will become a key figure for Jose Mourinho’s side. “Henrikh has been at Dortmund for three years. The first two years were not so easy for him, to be honest,” Gundogan told the Manchester Evening News. “He’s a player who needs self-confidence, who…
Sir Alex Ferguson says he understands why Jose Mourinho decided against making Ryan Giggs his assistant manager at Manchester United and told BBC Sport: “It is time Ryan stood on his own feet.” Ferguson said Giggs, who has left Old Trafford after 29 years with the club, has the necessary “steel” to forge his own managerial career away from the club. Giggs, who spent his entire playing career with United, had acted as caretaker manager after David Moyes’ dismissal and then served as assistant to Louis van Gaal during the Dutchman’s two-year reign. Mourinho, though, is expected to hand long-time…

One is an “Eau de toilette” kind of character, the other more “wake up and smell the coffee”. Cristiano Ronaldo is immaculately groomed, makes a point of posing for the cameras when he scores, is often captured scowling at his colleagues and recently launched his own men’s fragrance called “Legacy”. Gareth Bale is constantly encouraging his teammates and is described by his manager as “the most down-to-earth boy you could meet.” The world’s two most expensive footballers, who play alongside each other at Real Madrid, will go head-to-head when Bale’s Wales meet Ronaldo’s Portugal in their Euro 2016 semifinal in…
