Ronaldo Nazario has recently explained why he had to leave Barcelona after just one season before joining Inter in the summer of 1997, suggesting that Brazilian players ‘always’ leave the Catalan giants ‘on bad terms’. O Fenomeno was brought to Barcelona by former England manager Bobby Robson, and enjoyed a prolific start to life at Camp Nou, netting 47 goals from 49 appearances across all competitions. However, Ronaldo’s career with the Blaugrana lasted just one season before he left to join the Nerazzurri, which would bring the first of his two Ballon d’Or wins. In a recent chat with his…
With a lot to live up to after October’s eight-goal thriller, Serie A giants Juventus and Inter Milan will clash in Turin on Sunday evening. While Juve come into the latest Derby d’Italia fresh from success in Europe, Inter are aiming to keep pace with Scudetto rivals Napoli. Since staging a dramatic comeback to avoid defeat when the two Italian heavyweights last met, Juventus have fallen further behind old foes Inter in the Serie A standings, with last week’s win over lowly Como still leaving them outside the cherished Champions League places. In the knockout playoff round of this season’s…
Kyle Walker’s third Serie A match for club AC Milan was cut short at half-time before his replacement played a huge part in the side’s winner. The England international has started afresh in Italy after sealing an exit from Man City during the winter transfer window, amid a drop in form from the full back. He has since made five appearances for the Italian giants – three in the league, one in the Coppa Italia and one in the Champions League – as he settles into his new life. Walker’s less-than-stellar form is understandable, given the enormity of his late-career…
Christian Horner has broken his silence after rumours that Max Verstappen could swap Red Bull for Aston Martin in a deal worth £1billion. Verstappen enters the F1 2025 season aiming to secure a fifth consecutive World Championship with Red Bull, having dominated the sport over recent years. Despite being under contract until the end of F1 2028, Verstappen has been persistently linked with a move away from Red Bull over the last 12 months with Mercedes and Aston Martin emerging as potential alternative destinations. Toto Wolff, the Mercedes team boss, made no secret of his desire to sign Verstappen after…
Claudio Ranieri has released the list of players called up for Sunday’s match with Parma. The veteran technician has decided to let Dybala rest after the Argentine picked up a minor injury in the recent match against Porto. Devyne Rensch was also excluded as he continues to nurse an abductor sprain. In the meantime, Niccolo Pisilli was called up despite having suffered a mild contusion on Thursday night.
Lazio defender Mario Gila commented on the Biancocelesti’s late draw with Napoli earlier this evening. In an interview with the Biancocelesti club, Gila pointed to his side’s superiority over the likes of Roma and Fiorentina. “When you play a good game, your opponents feel it and start to respect it,” he said after full-time at Stadio Olimpico. “We have put many teams in difficulty, with Inter it went badly but we played well in the first 30 minutes.” “We know that we have a lot of quality and that we are better than Roma and Fiorentina,” he added. “We know…
The 2024-25 edition of Serie A is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Parma lock horns with Claudio Ranieri’s AS Roma side in an important encounter at the Stadio Ennio Tardini on Sunday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and will want to win this game. Parma vs AS Roma Preview Parma are currently in 18th place in the Serie A standings and have struggled to adapt to the top flight so far this season. The home side slumped to a damaging 2-1 defeat at the hands of Cagliari last week and…
The Minnesota Vikings are at a crossroads at the most important position in the sport: quarterback. The club managed to win 14 games in the regular season and make the playoffs large in part due to the resurgence of Sam Darnold, whom the team signed as a free agent last offseason. However, the Vikings also drafted former Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, so a decision will likely need to be made with Darnold now looking down the barrel of hitting unrestricted free agency. Naturally, this has led to quite the debate about…
NBA commissioner Adam Silver has a message to those Dallas Mavericks fans who are still angry, two weeks later: He feels your pain. That said, he’s also sure that the Mavericks believe their decision to trade Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis was — in their minds, at least — the best possible move for the franchise. Silver, in his annual address at All-Star Weekend on Saturday, said he had no advance word that the trade was looming and that he was surprised like everyone else. He also said he wasn’t going to second-guess Dallas’ decision.…
The Dallas Mavericks made their plan abundantly clear when they dealt 25-year-old superstar Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for 31-year-old All-Star Anthony Davis, which is to win a championship in the next three to four years. To accomplish that goal, the Mavericks could surprisingly add a third superstar to the mix this offseason. It’s well documented that Irving and Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant have a strong relationship, but their time together on the Brooklyn Nets didn’t go as planned. If the Mavericks are able to land Durant in a blockbuster trade this offseason, not only…
