Luis Daiz’s father has spoken out on the reports linking the Liverpool forward with Barcelona. Despite the turmoil that the 26-year-old was subjected to in his personal life, Diaz still managed to salvage a point for Liverpool with a late goal against Luton earlier this month, upon his return to the team. His two goals for Colombia further highlight why the former Porto forward has become a key part of Jurgen Klopp’s side. His performances have led to shock claims that Barcelona could be interested in signing the Liverpool forward. Diaz’s father was asked about his son possibly moving to…
It was a game that Luis Diaz ran amok in. A match that saw the winger score twice in front of his freed father following his kidnapping – which left him emotional in the stands. Diaz and his family have dominated the headlines for all of the wrong reasons – through no fault of their own – over the past three weeks in their native Colombia and around the world. But the 26-year-old is now the toast of his country after a 2-1 win over Brazil. Two headers in a five-minute period saw Liverpool team-mate Alisson Becker breached. The win…
The Pharaohs began qualification for the 2026 World Cup finals in winning fashion in Cairo, with Salah moving his total to over 50 on the international stage. The Reds’ No.11 scored twice in five minutes in the opening half – with his second coming from the penalty spot – before completing a hat-trick in the 48th minute of the contest. He would add another to become Egypt’s all-time leading goalscorer (15) in World Cup qualifying, while goals from Mostafa Mohamed and Mahmoud Trezeguet concluded the match. Elsewhere, Dominik Szoboszlai recorded an assist for Hungary in a dramatic 2-2 draw with Bulgaria, which…
The Hungarian has enjoyed an excellent start since his summer move to Anfield from RB Leipzig, making a big impact in his 17 appearances for the Reds so far. And having settled in well on Merseyside, the 23-year-old has revealed his feelings upon seeing the quality within Klopp’s side for the first time. “It’s crazy,” Szoboszlai told Football Focus during a recent interview. “When I came, [in] the first days I was like, ‘Am I on PlayStation or something?!’ “It was great to know them and how they are, not only from the television. To play with them is even…
The Norway international met Yana Daniels’ precise cross to send a powerful header into the back of the net, earning Matt Beard’s side a share of the spoils in the Barclays Women’s Super League. It was a goal that meant a lot to the No.10 and her family, after a disrupted start to the season due to a facial injury on international duty that forced her first few games to be played with a protective mask. Now free of the mask, Roman Haug is hoping to push on from her first goal for the club and help Liverpool continue their…
Ben Doak claimed an assist as three of Liverpool’s senior squad were involved in international action on Friday. Doak set up the second goal of Scotland U21s’ 2-0 victory over Belgium in U21 European Championship qualifying. The Reds forward, who featured for an hour in Roeselare, assisted Lyall Cameron with a pass into the penalty area. At Wembley, Trent Alexander-Arnold started and completed England’s 2-0 win against Malta in Euro 2024 qualifying. Harry Kane added to an Enrico Pepe own goal for the Three Lions, who have already sealed qualification for next year’s tournament. And earlier in the day, Kostas Tsimikas played the whole…
Sami Hyypia has just pounced on some surprisingly lax defending from Arsenal’s backline to give Liverpool a 1-0 lead at Highbury Stadium. Disaster. Arsenal had gone into the clash with Gerard Houllier’s Liverpool knowing they were just eight games away from Premier League immortality. Having gone 30 matches unbeaten throughout the course of the 2003/04 season so far, eight more without defeat would see them crowned modern English football’s first-ever ‘Invincibles’, as well as Premier League champions for a third time under legendary manager Arsene Wenger. Looking through the calendar, out of all the remaining eight games, the one against…
Luis Diaz has rather surprisingly been linked with a move to Barcelona this week, and his father has now fuelled speculation by saying his son has always dreamed of playing for the Catalans. The Liverpool star’s dad has hit the headlines recently after being kidnapped before eventually being released and reunited with his family. Diaz senior has now been asked about speculation linking his son with a move to the Camp Nou and made it clear his boy is a big Barcelona fan. “[The] truth is that I know very little about Barcelona at the moment,” he told Win Sports.…
Liverpool would clearly prefer to be in the Champions League rather than the Europa League this season. The continent’s second-tier competition though has brought with it some benefits. Jürgen Klopp has been afforded the opportunity to rotate his squad during the group stages of the tournament, while also giving valuable minutes to some of his fringe players. That has given some of the club’s younger players the chance to impress, with one academy product in particular standing out. Jarell Quansah has quickly emerged as one of the finds of the season, having found himself very much thrown in at the deep…
Friday brought the end of a lengthy investigation into Everton‘s spending, with their accounts confirming losses exceeding limits imposed by the Premier League. Following a disciplinary hearing, an independent commission ruled that the Merseyside club should be docked 10 points, effectively immediately. Everton have dropped from 14th in the league to 19th, level on points with bottom-placed Burnley, leaving Sean Dyche’s side in a tough position. It is a significant sanction from the Premier League, and comes with 115 charges looming over Man City and an investigation ongoing into Chelsea‘s spending under Roman Abramovich. That was the feeling among Liverpool fans as they reacted to the news…
