Latest News RSS feed Lippi: Conte could revive Real Madrid's fortunes Marcello Lippi has backed Antonio Conte to be successful at Real Madrid should Los Blancos turn to the Italian following the departure of Julen Lopetegui. Madrid are looking for their second head coach in five months after Lopetegui was fired on Monday, the former Spain boss dismissed after 14 games in charge. Sunday's 5-1 thrashing by Barcelona signalled the end of Lopetegui's reign at the Santiago Bernabeu, with former Juventus and Chelsea boss Conte quickly installed as the favourite to replace him. Lippi, who coached Conte as a player at Juve, believes the 49-year-old could revive Madrid's fortunes. "Conte has all the technical and psychological values to manage a great club and why not, even Real Madrid," he told reporters at the Golden Foot Awards. "I don't know if he is interested in Real Madrid and if Real Madrid are interested in him but for sure he would be able ...

Latest News RSS feed Xavi: My teams will never use Mourinho's style Former Barcelona star Xavi says he will never coach a team to play in the same way as those managed by Jose Mourinho. Barca take on Inter in the Champions League on Wednesday in a repeat of the semi-final tie of 2009-10, when the Nerazzurri triumphed 3-2 on aggregate after a memorable 10-man defensive display at Camp Nou in the second leg. Mourinho guided Inter to the treble that season before heading to LaLiga to take over at Real Madrid, where the rivalry with Pep Guardiola's Barca became ferocious during his three years in charge. The Portuguese has come in for criticism later in his career for refusing to embrace a more positive style of football, particularly at Manchester United, who are struggling to keep pace with attacking sides such as Manchester City and Liverpool in the Premier League. Although Xavi accepts Mourinho teams are tough to beat, he insists he would encourage different tactics i...

Latest News RSS feed Silva revels in Portugal triumph Bernardo Silva was delighted with Portugal's "dominant" display after Thursday's 3-2 Nations League victory in Poland. Fernando Santos' side fell behind in Chorzow but were ahead by the break courtesy of Andre Silva's leveller and an own goal from Kamil Glik. Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva's second-half strike ensured Jakub Blaszczykowski's late effort was merely a consolation. "I think Poland started very strongly and we weren't at our best at the start of the game, especially in the first 15 minutes," he said. "But I think after conceding the goal we proved we're a team that can keep the ball. We were dominant and we created some difficulties for Poland.

Latest News RSS feed Carrick reveals he suffered from depression after 2009 Champions League final Michael Carrick has revealed how losing the 2009 Champions League final with Manchester United led to him suffering from depression. United, then the defending European champions, were beaten 2-0 by Barcelona in Rome as they missed out on becoming the first team to defend the trophy in its modern format. Carrick lost possession in the build-up to Samuel Eto'o's opening goal 10 minutes in, which came after United had started as the dominant force, before Lionel Messi's second-half header secured the victory. The former midfielder has now opened up on his struggle to cope with that disappointment for the majority of the next two years. "It was the biggest low of my career by quite some way and I don't really know why," Carrick told The Times. "I thought I'd let myself down in the biggest game of my career. I had won the Champions League the year ...

The Serie A champions won their 10th game in a row in all competitions thanks to first-half strikes from Rodrigo Bentancur and Ronaldo at the Dacia Arena. It was the Portugal international's first appearance since he "firmly denied" an allegation of rape dating back to 2009 via a statement issued on Wednesday. Allegri says the €112million signing from Real Madrid, who has scored four goals in his eight Serie A appearances, looks to be in encouraging form.

Latest News RSS feed Lenglet applauds Messi leadership on and off the pitch Lionel Messi is a great captain because he leads by example on the pitch and inspires off the field with words of wisdom, according to Barcelona team-mate Clement Lenglet. Messi became captain following the departure of Andres Iniesta to Japanese club Vissel Kobe. But after three successive LaLiga matches without a win, some have criticised Barca for having a lack of leadership on the pitch, particularly in the 1-1 draw at home to Athletic Bilbao on Saturday when Messi started on the bench. His introduction in the second half lifted Barca and he ultimately set Munir El Haddadi up for a late equaliser, but before Messi entered the pitch, Ernesto Valverde's men looked alarmingly devoid of ideas. Wednesday's Champions League trip to Tottenham is the start of a tricky run of fixtures, which will also see Barca face Valencia, Sevilla, Real Madrid, Real Betis, Atletico Madrid and Inter twice before ...
