LaLiga: Alvaro Morata Scores Twice As Atletico Beat Rivals Real Madrid

wontumionlineSports, , ,
Alvaro Morata scored twice as Atletico Madrid ended Real Madrid’s 100% start to the La Liga season with a fine victory over their city rivals.

Borussia Dortmund Director Responds To Jude Bellingham ‘Diss’

wontumionlineSports,
Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl has responded to Jude Bellingham’s supposed criticism of the “levels” at the German club. Bellingham made a blockbuster £85.5m (€100m) move to Real Madrid from Dortmund at the start of the summer transfer window, bringing an end to a three-year spell in the Bundesliga which made him one of the most highly-rated young players in the world football. As expected, Bellingham has continued to impress since joining Madrid. The attacking midfielder has already bagged three goals in just two La Liga appearances – following up a debut goal against Athletic Club with a brace against Almeria – and…

Manchester City Thrash Real Madrid To Make Champions League Final

wontumionlineSports, ,
Manchester City delivered a relentless performance laced with outstanding quality to overpower holders Real Madrid and reach the Champions League final against Inter Milan in Istanbul. City have lost two previous semi-finals to Real but they made no mistake here at a joyous Etihad Stadium to now stand one step away from claiming the trophy that has always stayed tantalisingly out of reach for Pep Guardiola’s team. And their display in a magical first half, in particular, will live long in the memory as the masters of this tournament were left bewildered by City’s brilliance. It maintained a seemingly unstoppable…

Real Madrid V Man City: ‘Pep Guardiola’s Side Cannot Afford To Switch Off’

wontumionlineSports,
“Don’t make a mistake.” That’s what the Manchester City players will be thinking to themselves when they face Real Madrid on Tuesday, and they cannot afford to switch off for a single second. I was working at Leicester’s crucial game against Everton last week and the match analysts for both clubs were sitting next to me. I said “look lads, put your monitors down – it’s not about tactics tonight, it is just about avoiding any errors”. That was a Premier League relegation battle while this is a Champions League semi-final, but City versus Real is exactly the same scenario,…
