Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has lamented a lack of balance in his team after a lacklustre La Liga debut for marquee signing Kylian Mbappe.
The opening day of the season for Ancelotti s Galacticos proved to be one of frustration as they were held to a 1-1 draw on the road to Mallorca.
Mbappe found himself being thwarted by Mallorca goalkeeper Dominik Greif time and again across the 90 minutes in what proved to be a flat La Liga debut.
The French superstar had netted on his maiden Real Madrid appearance against Atalanta to aid his new club in winning the Uefa Super Cup on Wednesday in Warsaw.
Ancelotti named an unchanged side to face Mallorca on the weekend but despite an early goal from Rodrygo his team were unable to build on that lead and let in a…
Liverpool have confirmed their second signing under Arne Slot, with Federico Chiesa coming through the door, immediately saying yes following a phone call with Richard Hughes.
It has taken until the final week of his first window in charge at Anfield, but Slot is now moving quickly to improve his squad. On August 27, he got goalkeeper Giorgio Mamardashvili through the door.
Two days later, Juventus winger Chiesa has joined the club. In a video on Liverpool s social media, the Italian suggested he thinks very highly of the club when it comes to silverware.
When I think of Liverpool I think of trophies, of victories, in the Champions League at Anfield, Chiesa said.
It s really emotional for me, I can t wait to hear the anthem, and to hear all the 60,000 …
Newcastle United are reportedly weighing up a swoop for Manchester United flop Antony in the January transfer window.
The Magpies are in need of a new right-winger, though we are not sure this is the answer
signed Antony from Ajax for £80million in August 2022 and the Brazilian actually had a positive start, scoring against Arsenal on his debut.
That was as good as it got for the ex-Ajax favourite, who is now warming the bench and reportedly available for as little as £25m, which is probably an ambitious asking price.
What makes the signing of Antony even worse is that Man Utd could have got him for half the price earlier in the 2022 summer transfer window.
So, yeah, all in all, not great, which means Newcastle s reported interest comes as a…
Lee Dixon insists it wouldn’t bother me in the slightest if Arsenal won a title because Man City were deducted points after their FFP hearing.

By all reports, the WWE is looking to enter the U.S. sports betting market and allow bettors a chance to place wagers on their matches. But despite their hopes, most state gaming regulators are ready to halt the sports entertainment company s sports betting efforts with a quick when the referee has his back turned.
As by CNBC in March, the sports entertainment behemoth has had initial discussions with accounting firm Ernst and Young to secure WWE match results to potentially find a legal path for regulated sports betting on their events.
However, even if the WWE could secure its results with the firm, the vast majority of states with legalized sports betting have statutes prohibiting bets on scripted events. Also, states that currently allow bets on the Academy Awards, …
