We all know that Patrick Vieira was a world-class player. Best known for his role in Arsenal’s famous invincibles team, the Frenchman was one of the best midfielders of his generation.
On Wednesday, Tammy Abraham completed a £34m move from Chelsea to Italian club Roma. The move was not a surprise, as the striker was eager to play first-team football and it seemed unlikely he would get that in south west London.
Romelu Lukaku is a bit of an enigma in himself. The Belgian is his nation’s all-time top scorer, the 20th leading scorer in the Premier League, a Serie A winner, and the apparent fix to Chelsea’s title-winning pursuit. However, the striker still seems to lack complete acceptance as an elite forward around the globe.
Premier League matchday 1 ended in a 3-0 win for Liverpool as they opened the campaign on the right foot.
Without a doubt, Manchester City were the best team in the Premier League last season, as the Citizens were crowned as English champions. Pep Guardiola’s team often played teams off the pitch.
Having fan back inside stadiums has been a huge boost for everyone in English football and there were capacity crowds around the Premier League on the weekend. The biggest attendance was at Old Trafford as 72,732 fans cheered on the teams at the Theatre of Dreams.
After a preseason of turmoil for Wayne Rooney, things weren’t expected to start well for Derby County. Yet, a draw on the Championship’s first matchday against Huddersfield was nearly as good as it could get.
On Wednesday, Everton striker Moise Kean decided to remove any trace of his affiliation to the Merseyside club from his social media. The move seemed to indicate that the 21-year-old forward was on his way out.
The Bungesliga gets back underway once again this Friday night as Borussia Mönchengladbach welcome the division’s serial winners and champions, Bayern Munich, who are heading for their 31st title in what is arguably their most dominant era to date.
The fact that Lionel Messi is not returning to Barcelona is just settling into the minds of football fans worldwide.
Atletico Madrid are on the verge of a La Liga dynasty. Los Rojiblancos won the league last season and with Real Madrid and Barcelona in financial disarray, Diego Simeone’s team could win a second straight La Liga title.
The 2021/22 English Premier League season begins on Friday the 13th of August with a match between newly promoted Brentford and Arsenal.
You must go back to the 2011/12 season to find the last time a team other than Bayern Munich won the German Bundesliga title.
Earlier this week Aston Villa signed forward Danny Ings from Southampton for an undisclosed fee reported to be in the region of £25million. The deal came out of nowhere, as there was little speculation about the move.
Last season, Liverpool finished an almighty 17 points behind eventual champions Manchester City in their pursuit to defend their Premier League trophy.
The French top-flight campaign kicks off this weekend, with Lille looking to retain their crown. Meanwhile former champions PSG will be hoping they can reclaim the title from LOSC after last season’s surprising title race result.
It has been a strange summer for Inter Milan, who have lost title winning manager, Antonio Conte. Financial issues were the crux of the problem and that led to the departure of the Italian, who has since been replaced by Simone Inzaghi.
2012 was the year Paris Saint-Germain laid down a marker on European football as they conquered France for the first time in 21 years. Large parts of this was down to the additions of elite names like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva and the marketbale figure of David Beckham.
The transfer market has been relatively quiet amongst the top Premier League teams.
With the 2021/22 Championship season set to kick off on Friday, August 6, it’s time to take a look at the favourites for promotion this time around.
