LaLiga: Very valid, clear – Barcelona coach, Flick gives verdict on Lewandowski’s disallowed goal

Evans ManassehSports, , ,
Barcelona manager, Hansi Flick has insisted that his team were denied a “ valid and clear goal” during Sunday’s La Liga defeat to Real Sociedad. Barcelona striker, Robert Lewandowski thought he’d opened the scoring in the first half against Real Sociedad. But he saw his effort disallowed by VAR, with the images appearing to show the Poland international was offside by a toenail.

Speaking on the development, Flick said at his post-match interview: “I saw the pictures and the decision…

LaLiga have cut Barcelona’s spending cap for the new season from €649m to €270m. Real Madrid have the highest limit for the 2023/2024 campaign at €727m. Atletico Madrid’s limit is pegged at €296m. Sevilla (€168m) and Villarreal (€143m) make up the top five, while Deportivo Alaves (€31m) have the league’s lowest cap. LaLiga determines the limit using the difference between a team’s revenue minus non-sporting outgoings and debt repayments.

Mbappe to sign Real Madrid agreement with LaLiga giants ‘prepared to commit £200m’

Evans ManassehSports, , , , ,
Real Madrid are ready to commit £200million to sign Kylian Mbappe without negotiating with Paris Saint-Germain, according to SPORT. Both clubs did not hold talks this summer despite Mbappe being frozen out by the Ligue 1 champions. The 24-year-old has since returned to the first team and has scored five goals in his first three matches of the season. Although there are speculations Mbappe could agree a new contract with PSG, it is believed Real Madrid intend to reach a pre-contract agreement with the player in January. This will mean the France captain joins them for nothing when his PSG…
