Thiago Alcantara says winning the Champions League is the “benchmark” to judge Bayern Munich’s success this season. Bayern have dominated domestically during Pep Guardiola’s time in charge, the Bavarians winning two Bundesliga titles and a DFB-Pokal in the Spaniard’s first two campaigns. However, Bayern have fallen at the semi-finals of the Champions League for two seasons running. Thiago is content with Bayern’s showings in the first half of the season, with the club top of the league by eight points and through to the Champions League knockout stages at a canter. And he is now desperate to win Europe’s premier…
Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara feels Pep Guardiola is the best coach in history, voicing his disappointment at the Spaniard’s decision to exit the club at the end of the season.

Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City have all been mooted as potential destinations for Guardiola – who brought Thiago to the Allianz Arena from former club Barcelona in 2013. Having played under Guardiola at Bayern and Camp Nou, the Spain international has lauded…

Neville is still without a win in La Liga, but his players battled to level the scores twice against Madrid, who finished with 10 men. Dani Parejo’s spot-kick cancelled out Karim Benzema’s opener and Paco Alcacer levelled again after Gareth Bale had put Madrid ahead for a second time following Mateo Kovacic’s dismissal. “From 20 to 70 I think we played with velocity,” Neville said. “But when they were left with 10, we relaxed a bit because…
Captain Sergio Ramos believes Real Madrid showed the character expected of them after securing a 2-2 draw against Valencia on Sunday, despite being reduced to 10 men. Karim Benzema gave Madrid the lead with 16 minutes gone before Dani Parejo levelled things up from the penalty spot on the stroke of half-time. Things got harder for Madrid when Mateo Kovacic was shown a red card, but Gareth Bale managed to put the away side ahead late on, only for Paco Alcacer to cancel that out within a minute. “It’s clearly been a game with a lot of intensity. The team…
Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy is set to miss two weeks of action and will undergo a minor groin injury. Vardy is said to be struggling with the injury all season, managing it with painkillers. Leicester City however feel this is the right time for the striker to undergo the operation which will rule him out of FA Cup and Premier League clashes against Tottenham.

When Neymar, Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi are capable of scoring 180 goals combined in a calendar year, it is easy to understand why Barcelona would rely so heavily upon them. Yet even that extraterrestrial trio can’t do everything all the time. So it was that after 18 rounds of the 2015-16 La Liga season, Espanyol became the first side to prevent every member of the Blaugrana’s starting strike force from finding the net. Saturday’s scoreless derby was the latest in a string of Barca hiccups: three draws in their past four league games equate to dropping half of the…

Balotelli’s agent Mino Raiola, though, suggested last week that he would seek talks with Klopp to establish whether the striker featured in the new manager’s plans. However,…
Sunday evening’s clash of two former Premier League giants was great entertainment, although new Valencia coach Gary Neville seemed to enjoy it a lot more than under-fire Real Madrid boss Rafa Benitez. “Rafa, you gave us the best years of our lives,” said a banner across Mestalla’s Curva Nord early in the game, recalling the two La Liga titles and UEFA Cup triumph during Benitez’s three years in charge of Valencia just over a decade ago. However, after an incident packed 2-2 draw, the 55-year-old looked weighed down by a tough first half of the season in charge of Madrid…
