Former Liverpool defender John Arne Riise has admitted that he wanted to “go home” after he was left “ashamed” by the Reds’ first-half performance versus AC Milan in the Champions League final in 2005. The Norwegian full-back earned his place in Anfield folklore after forming part of the fabled side led by Rafa Benitez that became European champions in Istanbul nearly two decades ago. Falling three goals behind to a strike from Paulo Maldini and a double from Hernan Crespo before the interval against Carlo Ancelotti’s outfit, it appeared that Liverpool were down and out. However, the Merseysiders miraculously rallied…
Rafael Leao posted the infamous image of Paolo Di Canio making a fascist salute in response to criticism from the ex-AC Milan and West Ham star. AC Milan have endured a miserable start to the 2024-25 season, losing one and drawing two of their opening three games. Paulo Fonseca’s side were held to a 2-2 draw at Lazio last time out, with Leao netting a crucial late equaliser. However, the Portuguese winger was also seen standing with Theo Hernandez on the far side of the pitch while Fonseca spoke to the rest of the team during a touchline cooling break,…
In the national team, he wouldn’t have played against Serbia anyway due to the chants about “Spanish Gibraltar” that he made during Madrid’s celebration of their European victory. But Álvaro Morata just can’t stay still. Having been unavailable for several weeks due to a low-grade lesion in his left femoral muscle, despite the four days of rest given to the team by Paulo Fonseca, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Milan striker still showed up at Milanello, “huffing” back and forth under the relentless rain with the goal of getting back to his teammates and coach as soon…
The Philadelphia Eagles are just two days away from kicking off the 2024 National Football League regular season. The new season will begin on Thursday with the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Baltimore Ravens. Philadelphia will follow up with the second game of the season on Friday against the Green Bay Packers in Brazil. One of the most intriguing things to be on the watch for on Friday is how star running back Saquon Barkley fares in his first real action with the team. He joined the Eagles this offseason in free agency on a three-year…
AC Milan have officially submitted their squad list for the Champions League group stage to UEFA, with manager Paulo Fonseca making some notable decisions. As anticipated, Luka Jovic has been left out of the squad to make room for the recently acquired Tammy Abraham, who will join Alvaro Morata in bolstering the attacking options. Jovic isn’t the only player omitted from the list. Out-of-favor players Fodé Ballo-Touré and Divock Origi have also been excluded. Young prospects Alex Jimenez and Silvano Vos, both born in 2005, didn’t make the cut as they don’t meet the requirements for the B List, having…

Recently, Thomas sent out a post to Instagram that had over 30,000 likes and 400 comments. He was getting shots up on a basketball court that had an incredible background. Matt Barnes, Myles Turner, Joe Johnson, Russell Westbrook, Jamal Crawford, Blake Griffin and Dwyane Wade were also notable players that liked his post. Thomas has had an extremely unique NBA…
Ismael Bennacer will remain at Milan at least until January after a summer move did not materialise, and now Paulo Fonseca must find a way to get the best out of him. As MilanNews report, there were a few weeks where Bennacer’s departure seemed increasingly likely to make room for a new signing in the midfield, with Manu Koné (now at Roma) and Adrien Rabiot the most heavily linked. However, the Algerian midfielder ended up remaining with the Rossoneri and has also been included in the UEFA squad list for the first part of the Champions League too, all after an ending…

Catie Griggs is still new to the Camden Yards fan experience, but she has made it a priority early in her Orioles tenure to get a feel for every corner of the stadium. “I think I’ve sat in roughly 15 different spots in the ballpark so far,” said Griggs, the Orioles’ new president of business operations. “This is an incredible location, but it’s new to me. I know that, and the only way I can get to know it is by experiencing it. We serve our fans. I want to understand what they’re going through. I was in the splash…
Real Madrid legend has mentioned the names of Serie A stars that can play for Los Blancos, omitting Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman from his list. Lookman has been a prominent figure in Serie A, as he is seen as an important player for the Atalanta side. The player helped Atalanta win their first European trophy last season and also broke a massive record by scoring a hat trick in the final. However, despite his performance, he has not been recognised by Fabio Cannavaro, who made a list of players who can play for Real Madrid. Fabio Cannavaro believes Lautaro…
