Many feared, but though it will not come to this. After all, until March/April, Pep Guardiola reminded everyone who asked that his contact is up in 2027. But those fears proved to be totally justified as it was announced in May that the Spanish coach will leave the club after all, one year before the end of his contract. The signs were there for all to see, and it sounds strange, but nobody actually believed him when he talked about seeing out his contract. Many factors contributed to that decision and we will never know fully which one of them proved to be decisive. One was certainly the accusations again the club for braking 115 financial rules, and the uncertainty of the outcome. Speaking of that, we are now into the FOURTH year of waiting for the final verdict! Tiredness is also one of the reasons. After all, he managed City for the last 10 years, which is a lot even for a manager in an average club, without many expectations, yet alone a club like Manchester. The recently released..

True, Milan did not face any powerhouse in the opening two rounds of Serie A, but regardless, Ruben Amorim could hardly have wished for a better start. And we are primarily talking about the results rather than the performances. After Torino, the San Siro giants also beat Venezia to make it two wins from two at the start of the season – 2:0. On the day when life without Rafael Leao effectively began, Alexis Saelemaekers made sure his absence was barely felt – although the Portuguese winger had not been the player he once was for quite some time. The Belgian international was in charge of operations, and his passes preceded both of Milan’s goals. Last season was Saelemaekers’ best in a Milan shirt, and this one could be even more productive.After three-quarters of the game had gone by, when it started to look as though nerves might begin to hold the home side back, Saelemaekers set up Milan’s most expensive signing in club history. Gonzalo Ramos refused to let his first-half misses and ..

These people are unbelievable. Indestructible. But that’s why they’re the best team in Europe. It is incredible what Paris Saint-Germain have managed to survive for the second game in a row. Whatever you do, don’t give their opponents a two-goal lead. It’s not an advantage – it’s a punishment. That was the case against Rennes last time out, and it happened again in Lille. Luis Enrique’s hundred-headed ’hydra’ somehow escaped the guillotine and snatched a point with two goals in stoppage time – 2:2. Against Rennes, Ferran Torres played the role of saviour. Against Lille it was Vitinha. First, in the first minute of stoppage time, the Portuguese midfielder struck the ball beautifully and sent it into the top corner. That was the moment panic set in for the hosts, and PSG, like any predator, knows how to smell fear. They went all-out, and once again Vitinha was at the heart of it. He delivered a cross from almost the exact spot from which he had scored, and Marquinhos rose high to head th..
