Real Madrid Faces Europa League Future After 2nd Defeat To Shakhtar Donetsk

As things stand, Real Madrid is out of the Champions League. Shakhtar Donetsk, for the second time, has defeated Real, this time by a scoreline of 2-0 at the Olimpiyskiy. 

Although now level on seven points in Group B, Shakhtar holds the head-to-head tiebreaker. Borussia Mönchengladbach could win the group later Tuesday by defeating Inter at Borussia-Park, an outcome that Real would probably accept at this point since Los Blancos could then host a disinterested Gladbach side on the final matchday. 

Dortmund Out For Champions League Revenge Against Lazio

Wednesday's Champions League Group F match promises to be an exciting one, as Dortmund and Lazio have scored nine and eight goals, respectively, through the first four games of group play. 

The Streets Won’t Forget Hatem Ben Arfa Because He Still Runs Them

Hatem Ben Arfa should be gone but not forgotten by now. More precisely, he should be remembered by old heads around the block under the guise of “the streets will never forget” accompanied by video highlights of the two seasons in which he was entirely unplayable: 2011-12 with Newcastle United and 2015-16 with Nice. 

Norwich City Is Off To A Strong Start In Promotion Push

Norwich City's 1-1 draw against Coventry on Saturday stretched the Canaries' unbeaten run in the Championship to 10 games.

While league leaders Norwich may have hoped to take all three points against 20th-placed Coventry, the point won't be taken for granted as Daniel Farke's side was without 13 players through injury.

Here's How Different The World Looked The Last Time Schalke Won A Game

To the surprise of nobody, Schalke lost again on Saturday in a pitiful 4-1 defeat to Borussia Mönchengladbach. The defeat extended the club’s winless run in the Bundesliga to 25 games. Tasmania Berlin holds the all-time winless record in the Bundesliga with a 31-game winless streak.

Andrea Belotti Is Still With Torino, Still Scoring Goals At An Incredible Rate

Torino's Andrea Belotti was allowed to run on to the back post by Sampdoria's defense in the first half of the matchup between the two sides on Monday and promptly made his opponent's pay. 

Belotti tucked away his seventh league goal of the season after a lovely piece of skill by 19-year-old right back Wilfried Sango was followed by an inch-perfect cross to find the club captain in the six-yard box.

The Best Teams To Watch If You Enjoy Boring Soccer

Not everyone can handle the stress of high-scoring, emotional soccer matches. I get it. Maybe you have high blood pressure, a small child sleeping in the next room or just need something to watch while you fall asleep.

Zidane Jumps To Hazard’s Defense After Latest Injury Rules Him Out For 3 Weeks

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane defended forward Eden Hazard's mental fortitude after the forward picked up another injury, ruling him out of Tuesday's Champions League meeting with Shakhtar Donetsk.

Belgium national team doctor Kris van Crombrugge had suggested Hazard's injury issues since joining Real were down to mental stress, however Zidane refuted those claims.

SubSoccer Tabletop Game Is The Greatest Invention Ever

SubSoccer is probably one of the greatest inventions ever for footballers to work on their foot skills without having to stand up. This sit-down table football game was developed in Finland and it needs to be installed under every table in the U.S.

This would be a great way to keep customers occupied while waiting for food and drinks or even a great date idea. Obviously now would not be the best time to have people barefoot and touching the table top, but it would definitely draw a lot of attention. It is good for all ages and a fun way to get everyone playing football. 

Pressure Continues To Build On PSG And Thomas Tuchel
