Having successfully avoided meeting any of Spain’s two biggest clubs in the Copa del Rey semi-final, Real Betis and Valencia will both relish their chances of booking their place in the big final.

Real Betis

Dream of a Copa del Rey final on their own ground is just two steps away from Real Betis who will need to find the way to get past Valencia in two legs of the semi-final. Betis are eager to put an end to Barcelona’s dominance in the competition and will be keen to replicate the 2005 success which was the last time they lifted the Copa del Rey trophy after beating Osasuna.

Los Beticos booked their place in the semis by getting past Espanyol in a 4-2 aggregate victory achieved in the extra time of …

Ange Postecoglou believes Tottenham s defeat to Newcastle United epitomised the story of our season so far , as his side failed to turn their superiorty into three points.

Spurs went down 2-1 at St James Park, despite enjoying 66% of the possession and registering 20 shots to their opponents nine.

Dan Burn s own goal cancelled out Harvey Barnes first-half effort, but the visitors were made to pay for their profligacy when Alexander Isak struck the winner 12 minutes from time.

Postecoglou was left frustrated by the nature of the defeat Tottenham s fourth in six Premier League away games but he is confident their fortunes will turn around with similarly dominant performances.

Story of our season so far really, he told BBC Match of the Day. We played well a…

According to a recent report from L’Equipe, Paris Saint-Germain defender Thiago Silva wants to stay at the French champions – but the club themselves want to get rid of him at the end of the current season. 

The 35 year old veteran has been on the books in the capital since back in 2012 when he made the jump over from Italian giants AC Milan. Ever since then he has served as a consistent presence at the heart of PSG’s back four, but now, it seems like they could be going with a ‘out with the old, in with the new’ sort of tactic. 

Silva has always been an efficient and impressive defender but now that he’s moving into the twilight of his career, it would appear as if PSG want to cash in on him whilst they still can. 

It’d certainly be a risky …

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed he will hand first senior starts to academy trio Ethan Laird, Di Shon Bernard and Dylan Levitt in Manchester United s Europa League clash with Astana on Thursday.

United have travelled to Kazakhstan knowing they are already assured of a place in the knockout phase of the competition, having taken 10 points from their four matches.

With the Red Devils still nine points adrift of the top four in the Premier League, Solskjaer has taken the opportunity to rest key players and thus taken an extremely young squad to Nur-Sultan.

While United have not confirmed the full squad, it has been reported 14 of the 18 are teenagers.

James Garner, Tahith Chong, Angel Gomes and Mason Greenwood have all been photographed and are expected to fe…

Aston Villa midfielder Leander Dendoncker is on his way to Napoli, according to . The report has claimed that Premier League club Villa have accepted an offer from Italian club Napoli for Dendoncker. It will be a loan deal, with the reigning Serie A champions having the option to make it permanent in the summer of 2024.

Dendoncker has been on the books of Villa since 2022 when he joined from Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Belgium international midfielder did well during his time at Wolves, but he has failed to make a huge impact at the Villans.

The Belgium international, who can play as a defensive midfielder or as a central defender, has scored 10 goals and given two assists in 152 appearances in the Premier League. Dendoncker has made one start and seven substitute appe…

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer s Manchester United return was confirmed on Wednesday as the former Red Devils striker was named as Jose Mourinho s temporary replacement at Old Trafford.

Mourinho was sacked after two-and-a-half years at United, a 3-1 defeat to Premier League leaders Liverpool proving his final match in charge.

That left United sixth in the league table, 11 points off the top four and 19 adrift of Liverpool after 17 games of the 2018-19 campaign.

Solskjaer was named as interim manager until the end of the season 24 hours after Mourinho s departure, bringing him back to the club he left in 2007 after a stellar playing career.

We can confirm that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been appointed as caretaker manager until the end of the 2018/19 season.

Newcastle head coach Becky Langley has challenged her side to win promotion to the Women’s Championship to pave the way for other aspiring clubs to join them in turning professional.

The Magpies went full-time last summer – 12 months after head coach Langley had done the same – to become the first tier-three outfit to make the move in England.

They currently sit at the top of the FA Women’s National League Northern Premier Division, nine points clear of Nottingham Forest, who have a game in hand, and 14 better off than Burnley, who have played three fewer, as they chase promotion to the Championship and ultimately the Women’s Super League.

Mikel Arteta hailed Arsenal s capture of Willian and expects his new signing to make a real difference with his versatility and experience.

Arsenal confirmed the arrival of free agent Willian on a three-year deal on Friday, five days on from the Brazil international s departure from Premier League rivals Chelsea.

Predominantly used on the right wing for Chelsea, Willian is also comfortable playing on the left or in a central role and arrives at the Emirates Stadium with an impressive list of honours to his name.

Eyebrows have been raised at the length of the contract awarded to the 32-year-old, but Arteta believes his side s first signing of the close season will prove his worth.

New club. New colours. New beginnings.
