Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba will leave the club when his contract expires at the end of this month, the Premier League side said on Wednesday.
The France international re-signed for United from Juventus in 2016 but failed to deliver on his huge promise, often struggling for consistency at Old Trafford.
Once a Red, always a Red
When Newcastle United was taken over by a consortium back in October led by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF), "key" to green-lighting the sale was the Premier League's moral assurance that the new owners wouldn't be mixed up in the sort of things that the Saudi government has been guilty of lately, like the dismembering of Jamal Khashoggi, the disastrous war in Yemen or its "appalling" human rights record.
The Champions League — formerly the European Cup — is the premier club soccer competition in the world, annually anointing a new champion to the team in Europe able to navigate a gauntlet of matches to reign supreme. The Champions League list of winners is a history of club football at its best — the teams that defined eras as much as any World Cup winner.
Un día después de haberse convertido en el héroe de la decimocuarta Champions League del Real Madrid, Thibaut Courtois se dio un momento para ver lo que la gente decía en redes sociales sobre el nuevo título merengue. Y en medio de la labor se encontró con el análisis del comentarista de ESPN México, David Faitelson, el cual no pudo evitar responder con una carcajada a mandíbula batiente.
If there's one image that perfectly captures Liverpool's exhilarating 2021-22 campaign and its bitterly disappointing end, it's Sunday's photo of Sadio Mané caught in a thousand-yard stare while "celebrating" the club's FA Cup and EFL Cup double.
PARIS - Chaotic scenes at the French national stadium before and during Saturday night's Champions League final were branded a national embarrassment, while French ministers blamed Liverpool fans for the trouble.
The final between Liverpool and Real Madrid kicked off with a 35-minute delay after police tried to hold back people attempting to force their way into the Stade de France without tickets, while some ticket holders complained they were not let in.
How will Mohamed Salah remember the 2021-22 season? He hardly featured in the club's run to an FA Cup and EFL Cup double – logging a total of just 243 minutes across those two competitions — but Salah registered incredible numbers in the Premier League and Champions League (31 goals and 16 assists in 48 appearances) while the Reds came up agonizingly short in both competitions.
Salah's year was also soured by defeat to Sadio Mané's Senegal in both the Africa Cup of Nations final and the CAF World Cup qualifying playoffs, both of which occurred after the new year.
Thibaut Courtois immortalized himself into the goalkeeper hall of fame with one of the greatest ever performances during Real Madrid’s 1-0 victory against Liverpool in the 2022 UEFA Champions League final.
Courtois was a one-man wall who wouldn’t have been scored on if the game lasted another 90 minutes. Liverpool in all its attacking glory was snuffed out by a 6 feet 7 inches tall Belgian with spaghetti for arms and legs.
Real Madrid tiene un imán especialmente diseñado para ganar la Champions League. Los merengues derrotaron a Liverpool por 1-0 y obtuvieron la decimocuarta Orejona de su historia.
El gol lo hizo Vinícius Jr., al 58', cerrando la pinza a un centro potente de Federico Valverde.
Real Madrid ace Karim Benzema thought he had scored the opening goal of the 2022 UEFA Champions League final when a mad scramble in Liverpool’s box ended up with the Frenchman slotting the ball into the net. A lengthy VAR ultimately decided that Benzema was offside.
This call was controversial to say the least.
