Transfer Rumour: Walker wanted by Bayern Munich

Image
Bayern Munich want to sign another English player It is believed that they want to sign Kyle Walker from Manchester City Bayern came close to signing the Manchester City's star player last summer. However, Pep Guardiola convinced him to stay at the 11th hour and he signed a new contract, potentially keeping him at the Etihad until June 2026. He has proved to be an important player in Manchester City's quest for a record-breaking fourth successive Premier League title. Earlier this season, when Kevin De Bruyne was injured, Kyle Walker took over as the captain. Walker has since been in excellent form, which has reignited Bayern's interest in him. This video from Monsif Attoui would perhaps explain why Bayern interested in signing Walker despite his age. They will be hoping to put together a team that can bring the title back from Leverkusen next season.  Both City and the player in question are aware that the Bundesliga giants are interested in signing the right back du...

FA Cup: Youngsters shine as United win the cup

Image
 Manchester City 1 - 2 Manchester United Manchester United’s victory stopped Premier League champions City from claiming a second consecutive domestic double. United's win was forged through an impressive first-half performance that saw goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo. Garnacho capitalised on a mix-up between City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega and defender Josko Gvardiol, leaving him with an open goal to score half an hour in. Nine minutes later, Mainoo capped off a sweeping move with a composed finish following a delicate touch from Bruno Fernandes. City inevitably ramped up the pressure in the second half, with Erling Haaland hitting the post, United keeper Andre Onana making a superb save from Kyle Walker, and Julian Alvarez missing a golden opportunity. City substitute Jeremy Doku pulled one back with four minutes remaining, but Ten Hag's side held firm to secure a famous victory and  clinch their 13th FA Cup, their first since 2016.

Premier League: City start season with a win

Image
Burnley 0 - 3 Manchester City It wasn't a great return to the Premier League for Burnley Erling Haaland returned to his usual form with an impressive demonstration of his scoring abilities as Manchester City began their defence of the Premier League title by securing a comfortable win against Burnley. The exceptional goal-scoring talent, who scored 52 goals in the previous season during City's triumphant campaign in the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League, wasted no time in the new season.  Within just 185 seconds, he found the back of the net, dealing a blow that the newly promoted Burnley side couldn't recover from. You can watch the highlights of the match in the video below.

Euro 2024: England name final squad for Germany

Image
England have confirmed their 26-man squad for the European Championships Gareth Southgate has revealed his final 26-man squad, and some notable names are missing. Manchester City's Jack Grealish, Manchester United's Harry Maguire, and Tottenham's James Maddison have all been left out. Burnley's goalkeeper James Trafford, Liverpool's defender Jarell Quansah, Everton's defender Jarrad Branthwaite, and Liverpool's midfielder Curtis Jones, who were part of the initial 33-player shortlist, have also not made the cut. Manchester United's Luke Shaw who has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since mid-February, is part of the squad. This has come to the surprise of many but his experience and nature as one of England's best left-backs probably swung that in his favour.

Tottenham thrash City

Image
Manchester City 0 - 4 Tottenham Hotspur A remarkable evening in Manchester. Who saw this result coming? James Maddison netted a brace as Tottenham swept past Manchester City, handing them a fifth consecutive defeat – a streak they hadn’t endured since 2006. Author - Macca Pedro Porro smashed in a third, and Brennan Johnson sealed the victory with a last-minute fourth on a remarkable night that saw City’s 52-match unbeaten run at the Etihad come to an end. That streak had stretched back to just before the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. This was City’s heaviest home defeat since their 5-1 drubbing by Arsenal in 2003. It also marked the first time Pep Guardiola’s side had suffered three consecutive Premier League defeats under his leadership, just 48 hours after he signed a new two-year contract extension. For Spurs, it was a stunning turnaround. Despite being without both first-choice centre-backs, fielding five teenagers on the bench, and coming off a 2-1 home loss to Ipswich two weeks ag...

For Arsenal to have been crowned champions, they needed to defeat Everton and hope that City failed to win against West Ham. 🎶 @LouisDunford ’s ‘The Angel’ rings around the Emirates Stadium before kick-off. 🎶 North London Forever 🎶 🎥 @jamesbenge pic.twitter.com/HFOGqwPOCg — afcstuff (@afcstuff) May 19, 2024 Arsenal faced an early setback when Idrissa Gueye’s deflected free-kick gave Everton the lead.

Transfer Rumour: City want Kimmich

Image
Press reports from across Europe are suggesting that Manchester City are about to make some big moves in the transfer market. Would Joshua Kimmich be a good signing for City and Guardiola? Kimmich is reportedly eager to reunite with Pep Guardiola, despite the possibility that his former boss could leave in a year. Kimmich, a crucial player for Germany's Euro campaign, has one year remaining on his contract with Bayern Munich and is attracting interest from Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Liverpool. Manchester City's Guardiola is also interested. Kimmich is particularly drawn to reuniting with the manager who launched his career at Bayern in 2015, making the Etihad an appealing destination. Kimmich’s representatives are keen to know if Guardiola plans to extend his stay beyond next summer, but the player is so eager to work with him again that he is ready to take the chance. While Bayern’s manager Vincent Kompany is eager for Kimmich to remain, the club would prefer to sell him...

City drop more Premier League points

Crystal Palace 2 - 2 Manchester City Manchester City battled back twice to secure a draw against Crystal Palace but their inconsistent form shows no signs of improving. Author - Macca Manchester City drop more points More reaction here - eurosuperfootball.blogspot.com/search/label... Watch highlights here courtesy of Sky Sports - www.youtube.com/watch?v=tysO... [image or embed] — European Super Football ( @superfootball.bsky.social ) 7 December 2024 at 17:26 City’s midweek victory over Nottingham Forest had sparked hopes of a resurgence, but Palace might feel hard done by not to have claimed all three points at Selhurst Park. The home side made a dream start, with Will Hughes finding wing-back Daniel Muñoz in acres of space to fire in the opener after just four minutes. Palace could have doubled their lead before Erling Haaland rose brilliantly to head in Matheus Nunes' cross and bring City level. Palace regained the advantage when Maxence Lacroix met Hughes’ corner with ...

Manchester United: 23/24 Season Review

Image
Let's explore Manchester United's 2023/2024 season. It was a campaign full of drama. There was a lot of controversy throughout, but it finished with glory as they beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final at Wembley.  After being eliminated from the EFL Cup in the fourth round by the previous season's finalists, Newcastle United, they also experienced their worst performance in the Champions League group stage. They then finished in 8th position, their lowest ever place in the Premier League era.  We will now experience some of those key reports and stories from the season. The season started with a 1-0 win over Wolves. In this match, Raphael Varane secured the decisive goal with just 14 minutes remaining, propelling Manchester United to a somewhat lucky victory. It wasn't a great performance though and perhaps a sign of things to come. A few weeks later, they lost 3 - 1 at home to Brighton. After this match, we spoke to Liam, a United Season Ticket holder. He said: ...

Premier League: Missed opportunity for Man City

Image
Nottingham Forest  1 - 1 Manchester City Manchester City missed the opportunity to return to the top of the Premier League with a draw against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. Chris Wood's late goal cancelled out Bernardo Silva's rocket from 20 yards, with the visitors missing chances in abundance to put the game to bed. Erling Haaland volleyed against the crossbar and ballooned the rebound over the top after Aymeric Laporte's header was brilliantly saved by Forest keeper Keylor Navas. Forest claimed a stunning later point. Morgan Gibbs-White's fizzed cross was tapped in at the far post in the 84th minute for Wood's first Forest goal. Premier League news (eurosuperfootball.blogspot.com) Forest scored with their only attempt on target, having created four chances to City's 23 The draw extended Forest's unbeaten home run to eight games and meant City dropped to second after Arsenal returned to the top with a 4-2 comeback win against Aston Villa earlie...
