James Rodriguez says Real Madrid stopped him from joining another Spanish club last summer and that he also turned down down a move to Italy. Madrid invested €75 million (£68m/$85m) in James back in 2014, luring him to Santigo Bernabeu from Monaco on a five-year contract. The midfielder earned the big-money move after spearheading Colombia's run to the World Cup quarter-finals in Brazil, where he also finished as the tournament's top goalscorer.
Juventus had a thumping win over Bologna last night.Cristiano Ronaldo broke his goal scoring draught with a kick from spot in 23third min followed by Dyabala's stunning out of the box kick left everyone stunned.With this win,league leaders further strenthen their grip as well as increases pressure on Lazio,their biggest rival this season.
There was another personal landmark for Ronaldo to celebrate too, with his strike the 43rd he has netted in Serie A since joining the club, one more than the 42 his compatriot Rui Costa managed in the eight years he spent at Fiorentina and Milan between 1994-2006.
Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said he was disappointed that he was only asked about the referee’s decisions after his side earned a 2-1 victory at Real Sociedad on Sunday to climb above Barcelona and top La Liga.
Zinedine Zidane hit out at constant talk about refereeing decisions after Real Madrid moved top of La Liga with a 2-1 win over Real Sociedad on Sunday. Sergio Ramos' penalty, for a foul on Vinicius Junior, put Madrid ahead before Adnan Januzaj had an effort ruled out for offside. Moments later, Karim Benzema doubled Madrid's lead after a VAR check for a possible handball and Zidane's men held on despite Mikel Merino's late strike
The centre-back is up to 68 goals in the Primera Division, overhauling Barcelona legend Ronald Koeman. Ramos, who converted from the penalty spot to break a scoreless stalemate at Anoeta, overtook former Barcelona man Ronald Koeman with the effort, taking him to 68 goals in his top-flight career.
Real Madrid's suorstar striker keeps on scoring as his goal came in 70th min to secure an easy victory over Real Soceidad.With this lead Real reached on the top of the table.
Liverpool may have to wait a little longer for their Premier League title celebrations after they were held to a 0-0 draw at Everton in the behind closed-doors Merseyside derby on Sunday. Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool side went into the game, their first competitive match in 103 days, knowing a win would allow them to secure their first league title in 30 years on Wednesday with victory at home over Crystal Palace.
Alisson was as rock solid as he was before.Without Salah Liverpool didnot pose much threat to Everton's defense.Minimano agains flops.
The Reds could have sealed the title at Goodison Park today, had Manchester City lost Arsenal in midweek. However, City’s 3-0 win over the Gunners means Liverpool’s wait goes on a little bit longer. Jurgen Klopp’s side are next in action on Wednesday against Crystal Palace. Liverpool are due to face City on July 2, meaning Klopp’s men could also win the title on that date. The Premier League campaign resumed this week after a three-month hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has said that he ‘feels like an alien’ after criticising the government for their handling over the coronavirus crisis, comparing the difference in death numbers between England and Germany and asking why people are not taking more precautions given the seriousness of the pandemic.
Wayne Rooney insists Liverpool are capable of creating a dynasty similar to the ones Sir Alex Ferguson presided over whilst manager of Manchester United. Liverpool are two wins away from clinching their first championship in 30 years and last year won their sixth European Cup; the elusive first trophy of coach Jurgen Klopp's tenure. Klopp was appointed Liverpool coach in October 2015 and suffered defeat in three domestic and European finals prior to the triumph over Tottenham in Madrid, and Liverpool have only dropped five points in 29 Premier League games this season.
“We kept winning and winning and City kept winning and we had a mentality of we’re not going to lose. It was a fantastic feeling to have. “After the last game of the season against Wolves when City won against Brighton, we said we want to do it again but get even better and we knew it would be hard for City to retain that level.
Mane has been a key player under Jurgen Klopp since he was signed in a £34 million deal from Southampton in 2016. Since arriving at Anfield, Mane has scored 77 goals in 161 appearances and helped the club win the Champions League last season. But according to The Sun, Liverpool are concerned that the 28-year-old could leave the club this summer as he has not signed the new contract which was offered to him nine months ago.
"I don't think it is possible to dominate anymore, to be honest," said Klopp, whose Liverpool claimed the Champions League trophy last season. "United had a pretty good combination, with an exceptional manager with a super eye for players and fantastic timing for how long you need a player in the team. "The replacements he got were always exceptional — and there was the money, too. The combination for United was really good. We must have done something right, obviously, until now. But we have to do these things — and probably even more — to stay successful.
Liverpool manager says response to the coronavirus pandemic in England and Germany ‘came from two different planets’
Take Salah’s five-year, non-penalty league total. As of now, it stands at 92 between 2015-2020. That figure includes his two seasons at Roma, where he was more of a facilitator than finisher. In two years in Rome, he totaled 29 goals, a number he bested in his first season with Liverpool alone. Salah scored 14 in his first season with Roma and then 15 the following campaign. Add that to his three seasons in Liverpool (this current season, of course, which is yet to be completed) and that puts him on 92 over a five-year span, and 11th among Europe’s best goal-scorers over a similar span. Salah is one of three players in the top-11 still in the midst of their all-time-great scoring run. When the current season was suspended, he was on 16 goals in 26 league games, an average of 0.62 per game. Average that over a 38-game season, and he should finish this campaign with 23 goals, right alongside the 22 strikes he scored last year. That would mean after just three seasons with Liverpool he’d be up to 77 goals, a figure that would place him 22nd on the FIVE-YEAR (!) best (!!) runs list, ahead of the likes of Gareth Bale, Neymar, Jamie Vardy, and Ciro Immobile.
Jurgen Klopp hopes key duo Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson will be fit for Liverpool’s trip to Everton on Sunday. The pair had been considered doubts after missing last week’s behind-closed-doors friendly win over Blackburn, and have not trained fully at Melwood this week ahead of the Premier League’s resumption.
Goals from Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio helped Real Madrid ease to a 3-0 win over Valencia.With the win
Real Madrid continue to apply pressure on leaders Barcelona, who travel to face Sevilla on Friday evening.
Real Madrid`s Karim Benzema scored one of the goals of the season as they beat Valencia 3-0 at home on Thursday to stay in touch with La Liga leaders Barcelona, but the visitors were left fuming after having a goal ruled out following a VAR review.
Goalkeepers: Courtois, Areola and Altube.
Defenders: Carvajal, Militão, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo, Mendy and Javi Hernández.
Midfielders: Kroos, Modric, Casemiro, Valverde, James and Isco.
Forwards: Hazard, Benzema, Bale, Asensio, Brahim, Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo.
Madrid are priced at 2/5 (1.40) to score over 1.5 goals which looked a nailed-on selection.
For higher odds, backing the 13-time European champions to score in both halves at evens (2.00) could be an intelligent option.

“I was very surprised and satisfied with our opening 30 minutes, as we moved the ball so quickly and totally dominated the game, even before the red card. “After that, we slowly dropped our tempo, intensity and mental determination, but that is a risk in an empty stadium. We had been doing so well, playing one and two-touch football, but then we slowed down and lost some sharpness, focused more on individual moves and taking two touches.
