Real Madrid 1 - 2 Manchester City Man City came from behind to claim a superb Champions League win at Real Madrid, piling further pressure on Xabi Alonso as the home manager’s position grows increasingly fragile. Author | Macca Stadium | Santiago Bernabéu Alonso has been under scrutiny after a poor domestic run and reports of a cultural disconnect with his squad, and the glare will intensify after his side failed to preserve an early lead. Real were dealt a setback before kick-off when top scorer Kylian Mbappe was deemed fit only for the bench. The France captain ultimately played no part as his team fell to a dispiriting defeat. City almost endured a disastrous opening when Matheus Nunes brought down Vinicius Jr inside two minutes. The referee initially awarded a penalty, only to change it to a free-kick on the edge of the area after a VAR check. Federico Valverde’s driven effort from the set piece deflected just wide, while Vinicius soon curled a delicate effort past the far post...

Club Brugge 0 - 3 Arsenal Noni Madueke struck twice as Arsenal swept past Club Brugge to preserve their perfect Champions League record. Author | DJ Stadium | Jan Breydelstadion Mikel Arteta made five changes after the defeat at Aston Villa and it was one of those introduced who made the early difference. Madueke drifted past a defender before unleashing a fierce effort from 20 yards that clipped the underside of the bar on its way in. Club Brugge threatened briefly before half-time as Christos Tzolis and Aleksandar Stankovic forced sharp stops from David Raya, but Arsenal reached the interval with their lead intact. Madueke added his second just after the restart, heading in Martin Zubimendi's precise delivery, before Gabriel Martinelli curled in a fine third midway through the half to seal a comfortable evening. There were further reasons for encouragement Gabriel Jesus returned after 342 days out with an ACL injury and 16-year-old Marli Salmon was handed a senior debut. Jesus ca...

Inter Milan 0 - 1 Liverpool  Dominik Szoboszlai's 88th-minute penalty secured a vital win for Liverpool against Inter Milan Author | William G   Stadium | San Siro TNT Sports highlights of Inter v Liverpool youtu.be/Nk8D5h9FAYY?... [image or embed] — European Super Football ( @eurosuperfootball.bsky.social ) 10 December 2025 at 08:08 Much of the pre-match discussion centred on Mohamed Salah’s omission from the squad after he claimed the club had “thrown him under the bus” and suggested his relationship with Arne Slot had collapsed. With the forward remaining on Merseyside, it fell to Szoboszlai to take on the responsibility from the spot after a VAR review showed Alessandro Bastoni pulling the shirt of Florian Wirtz in the area. Inter keeper Yann Sommer guessed correctly, but the force of Szoboszlai’s strike took it beyond him. Liverpool held firm to claim three valuable points after a turbulent spell at the club. Slot’s side had lost nine of their previous 12 ma...

Celtic have confirmed Wilfried Nancy as their new head coach. The club have brought him in from Columbus Crew, concluding a search of more than a month for a permanent successor to Brendan Rodgers. Author | Sean M We are delighted to announce that we have appointed Wilfried Nancy to the position of Football Manager. More info ⤵️ #BienvenueWilfried | #CelticFC 🍀 — Celtic Football Club (@CelticFC) December 3, 2025 Nancy has agreed a two-and-a-half-year deal with the Scottish champions and has already begun work. Columbus said an agreement had been reached for Nancy to move to Glasgow for an undisclosed fee. The MLS side added that assistant coach Kwame Ampadu, assistant and fitness coach Jules Gueguen and video performance coach Maxime Chalier will also make the switch. Rodgers resigned on 27 October after a 3-1 defeat to Premiership leaders Hearts. Martin O'Neill was installed as interim manager, with Shaun Maloney assisting him. Since then, Celtic have won all of their d...

Rangers 1 - 1 Braga Rangers claimed their first point of this Europa League campaign but will reflect on a wasted chance after a mistake from Nasser Djiga cost them victory in a draw with 10-man Braga. Author | Mark Lee Stadium | Ibrox James Tavernier put the Scottish Premiership side in front from the penalty spot deep into first-half stoppage time, and their position strengthened when Rodrigo Zalazar was sent off for appearing to move his head towards Nicolas Raskin. Yet Djiga’s misjudged header from a throw into the Rangers area dropped invitingly for Gabri Martinez, who swept in the equaliser and left Danny Rohl’s side without the win they badly needed. The result brings an end to their run of seven consecutive European defeats, but with daunting trips to Ferencvaros and Porto to come, either side of a home meeting with Ludogorets, their prospects of progressing remain slim with just one point from five matches. A further setback arrived in stoppage time when Mohamed Diomande w...

Strasbourg 2 - 1 Crystal Palace Crystal Palace’s impressive run came to an end as they slipped to defeat against Strasbourg in the Conference League. Author | James Lees Stadium | Stade de la Meinau Tyrick Mitchell broke the deadlock after 35 minutes with a crisp finish across goal, latching on to a clever pass from Jean Philippe Mateta. Palace, unbeaten in five, should have added a second on the stroke of half time but Ismaila Sarr struck the post from distance after Strasbourg keeper Mike Penders had surrendered possession, leaving his goal unguarded. The French side were level eight minutes into the second half when Emanuel Emegha, who is set to join Chelsea next summer, steered in a low ball from Diego Moreira. Penders was soon exposed again, caught out of position as Adam Wharton clipped the crossbar from range. The goalkeeper redeemed himself moments later with a sharp stop to deny Yeremy Pino at close quarters, yet Palace’s wastefulness proved costly. Julio Enciso’s free...

Nottingham Forest 3 - 0 Malmo Forest swept past Malmo in the Europa League to tighten their hold on a play-off spot. Author | Frank L Stadium | The City Ground Players and fans celebrate Goals from captain Ryan Yates, Arnaud Kalimuendo and Nikola Milenkovic completed a routine victory in a fixture that echoed the 1979 European Cup final, when Forest overcame the Swedish champions. It marked a third straight win for Forest, their best run since the turn of the year. A slump in form during the latter half of last season explains why they find themselves in the Europa League rather than the Champions League. Analysis  | Sean Dyche has steadied a turbulent situation since taking charge Nuno Espirito Santo departed the club after clashing with global sporting director Edu and owner Evangelos Marinakis, while Ange Postecoglou lasted only 39 days in the aftermath. Saturday’s 3-0 win at a struggling Liverpool moved Forest out of the Premier League relegation zone. Their latest success at ...
