Guillermo Ochoa had a remarkable start to his career in the Serie A with Salernitana after leaving Club América on a free transfer last January. He was the Italian club’s first player of the month in 2023.
Zlatan Ibrahimović is one of the world's most brazenly outspoken footballers, and as a result of that he's also one of the most widely publicized. However, the 41-year-old maintains a largely anonymous private life, spending much of his offseason time in Malmö with longtime partner Helena Seger and their two sons Maximilian (age 16) and Vincent (age 14).
Salernitana jugó este lunes ante el Hellas Verona y llamó la atención que Guillermo Ochoa estuviera sentado en el banco de suplentes.
El arquero mexicano llegó al club italiano en enero pasado y pese a no entregar vallas invictas y sufrir una catastrófica goleada 8-2 ante la Atalanta, su rendimiento era uno de los más destacados en un equipo que lucha con garras y dientes por no descender. De hecho, Memo fue incluso elegido por los aficionados granates como el mejor jugador del mes.
Watching your favorite soccer teams in action is now easier than ever before, thanks to the rise of streaming services. However, the convenience of accessing live games from the comfort of your own home comes with a price. For Americans, these costs have skyrocketed in recent years and only seem to be on the rise. So how much does it cost to watch soccer and your favorite leagues?
Leeds United have signed United States midfielder Weston McKennie on loan until the end of the season from Juventus, the Premier League club said on Monday.
The 24-year-old has made nearly 100 appearances for the Serie A team since joining in 2020, scoring 13 goals and providing five assists. He has won the 2020 Italian Super Cup and 2021 Coppa Italia with Juve.
MILAN - Shares in Juventus tumbled some 10% on Monday after Italian soccer authorities docked the club 15 points for its transfer dealings, in a blow to its reputation and short-term sporting prospects.
Juventus, who have won the Italian league more times than any other club, are now 9th in the Serie A standings and face an uphill struggle to qualify for lucrative European competition.
Juventus drew 3-3 with Atalanta on Sunday night in their home city of Turin in their first game since the punishment was announced late on Friday.
ROME — Juventus have been deducted 15 points for the current season by an Italian soccer court investigating its transfer dealings, the national soccer federation (FIGC) said on Friday.
With 20 games left to play in this season, Juve were third in Serie A, 10 points adrift of leaders Napoli. The points deduction would push them down into mid-table, outside the spots for European competition.
Guillermo Ochoa vivió una noche de terror en la Serie A italiana. El arquero mexicano fue titular en la Salernitana, pero poco pudo hacer para evitar la escandalosa derrota por 8-2 ante la Atalanta, en lo que es la peor goleada recibida en su carrera, así como la peor caída en la historia del club granate.
Serie A leaders Napoli torched Juventus 5-1 on Friday with Victor Osimhen scoring a brace. The Nigerian forward put the hurt on Juve metaphorically and literally.
In the 47th minute Osimhen accidentally landed a perfect uppercut on Manuel Locatelli. The Napoli No. 9 had already burned Juventus in the first half, so Alex Sandro was hassling and grabbing at him right as the second half began.
Osimhen threw his arms up in protest after being dispossessed of the ball but little did he know Locatelli was right next to him. What followed was something straight out of UFC.
I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast, but if you've been following The18 for the past year then you've already seen all 11 FIFA Puskas Award nominees. We have exquisite taste like that.
But in case you can't remember the strikes — arriving as early as Apr. 2 and as late as Kylian Mbappé's side-volley against Argentina in the World Cup final on Dec. 18 — here's a trip down memory lane with videos that you can watch right here, right now. I've also included a link to what The18 said at the time.
