  1. Unsung O'Reilly becoming a key figure for City & England

    Manchester City hoped, and may even have expected that a midfielder called Nico would transform their fortunes during the second half of last season. The man that has become key to Pep Guardiola’s side’s mid-season surge and made them contenders to pull off the quadruple is not, however, the gangly Nico Gonzalez, who was recruited from Porto for £50 million last January, but rather academy graduate Nico O’Reilly, who cost nothing at all.

  1. 'A man of the people' - Brady praises Infantino for World Cup changes

    NFL icon Tom Brady has delivered a glowing assessment of FIFA president Gianni Infantino, crediting the administrator's "tremendous leadership" for the evolving landscape of global football. Ahead of the 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted across the United States, Mexico, and Canada, the seven-time Super Bowl champion has become an increasingly prominent figure in the soccer world. Having taken a minority stake in Birmingham City and recently visited AC Milan to link up with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Brady is now lending his significant cultural weight to the build-up for the first-ever 48-team tournament.

  1. RANKED: How the Asian Cup & AFCON will effect WSL clubs

    The Women's Asian Cup begins on March 1, kickstarting a month that will see two of the premier major tournaments in the women's game take place, with the Africa Cup of Nations kicking-off on March 17 after reverting back to a springtime slot following back-to-back summer editions. It means two thrilling continental championships will be decided over the course of the next few weeks, but the impact these tournaments will have on the continuing club competitions also promises to be fascinating, as teams across the women's game say goodbye to some of their best players for a few weeks.

  2. Keep dancing, Vini! Madrid star back to his best in 2026

    After all that followed it, it may have been forgotten just how good Vinicius Jr's goal to beat Benfica was last week. The Brazil winger has a fine catalogue for Real Madrid, but this was surely among the best. Vinicius cut inside before using the outline of a defender to shape his shot into the top corner. It was a truly wonderful moment of individual expression - one that absolutely should be celebrated.

  3. LEGACY: Madrid, Barca & how to build Spanish success

    This is Legacy, GOAL’s podcast and feature series tracking the countdown to the 2026 World Cup. Each week, we explore the stories and the spirit behind the nations that define the world’s game. This week, we revisit a moment when two clubs became one nation. In 2010, Spain ruled the world, and its crown was built in both Barcelona and Madrid. The style of one, the strength of the other, blended into the perfect mix. Sixteen years on, and as a new generation rises in Catalunya, can Barcelona now become the sole heart of La Roja?

  4. How Gordon found himself chasing Mbappe in UCL goal charts

    Anthony Gordon's 2025-26 Champions League campaign is the greatest by any English scorer for an English club in the competition's history. That's a fact. With his four-goal haul for Newcastle in last week's 6-1 hammering of Qarabag, he broke the record for most goals scored by an Englishman for a Premier League side in a single Champions League season, taking his tally to 10 from nine games. Not even Alan Shearer managed such a number in those famous black-and-white stripes.

  2. 'What an idiot' - Messi regrets not learning English

    Inter Miami and Argentina superstar Lionel Messi has admitted that he regrets not learning English when he was younger. The 38-year-old spent the majority of his career in Spain with Barcelona but now plys his trade in the United States in Major League Soccer. Messi says the language barrier has left him feeling "half ignorant" at times when he has met other "incredible and spectacular personalities."

Transfer News

BVB are in advanced negotiations to secure the signature of 29-year-old French international Benjamin Pavard, a player who boasts an extensive and successful history in the Bundesliga with both Stuttgart and Dortmund's arch-rivals, Bayern Munich. The move represents a significant statement of intent from the Signal Iduna Park outfit as they look to bolster their backline with elite European experience.

  3. Wirtz's agent still 'wishing' for Real Madrid transfer

    Florian Wirtz's agent has revealed that he called Xabi Alonso and asked him to take the Germany star with him to Real Madrid before he signed for Liverpool. Wirtz ended up joining the Reds instead in a deal worth £116 million ($156m). Alonso has since departed the Santiago Bernabeu, and been replaced by Alvaro Arbeloa, but the player's agent is still hoping he can go on and play for Los Blancos in the future.
