  1. Only Poch can save Spurs - but they must survive first

    Tottenham are hurtling towards disaster. They could be relegated from the Premier League, and at this point of this season from hell, their best hope of staying up may simply be that football can change very quickly. There are still several key players to return from injury for the run-in, but that may prove too little, too late, particularly with the vibes in an almost irreversible tailspin.

  2. Hincapie is Arsenal's new hero - so what now for Lewis-Skelly?

    Arsenal came out of the 2025 summer transfer window as one of its perceived winners. They didn't go toe-to-toe with reigning Premier League champions Liverpool in terms of bringing in star talent, but they stacked their squad full of enough quality so they wouldn't be hit as hard if they suffered another injury crisis this season. Their 2024-25 campaign was derailed in large part due to a drop in talent beyond their strongest XI.

  3. Madrid & Man City's UCL rivalry is anything but boring

    When Real Madrid were paired with Manchester City in the Champions League last-16, the groans could be heard all the way from Plaza Mayor to Piccadilly Gardens: 'Again?!' The complaints were entirely predictable and, at some level, understandable. By the end of the second leg next Tuesday, the two teams will have faced each other 11 times in the past five seasons, and on 17 occasions since 2012.

  4. Has Osimhen missed his chance to join a UCL contender?

    It's been a little over two years since Victor Osimhen revealed that he'd made up his mind on which club to join after Napoli. Just three days later, Partenopei president Aurelio De Laurentiis revealed that the striker would "go to Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain or some Premier League team". Osimhen instead ended up in Istanbul playing for Galatasaray, the biggest team in Turkey but not exactly the destination the Nigeria international had in mind when he announced his intention to leave Naples.

  5. Four goals in four months - why do Barca want to keep Rashford?

    Xavier Vilajoana made headlines during his failed bid to become Barcelona's new president by claiming to have already made "some contact" with Bayern Munich superstar Harry Kane over a move to Camp Nou. In reality, though, the most interesting topic the industrial engineer raised while on the campaign trail centered around another Englishman in Marcus Rashford.

  6. LEGACY: Gijon to Porto Alegre - Algeria's World Cup journey

    This is Legacy, GOAL’s feature and podcast series that counts down to the 2026 World Cup. Each week, we explore the stories and the spirit behind the nations that define the world’s game.

  7. How Mbappe's deep connection with Paris inspired new boots

    Kylian Mbappe might have a strained relationship with Paris Saint-Germain as a result of his bitter exit from Parc des Princes in 2024, but the French capital - and especially the Bondy neighbourhood - will always hold a place close to his heart. Dropping his latest signature boots, Nike have recognised that deep connection between Mbappe and the streets he grew up on.

Must-read opinion and expert analysis

  1. Calamitous Kinsky produces all-time stinker as Spurs spanked

    Head coach Igor Tudor stated that he is more confident than ever that Tottenham will remain in the Premier League, but their terrible form in 2026 continued with a 5-2 thrashing by Atletico Madrid in the Champions League last-16. It was another night of embarrassing individual errors, combined with a confusing system that handed the Spanish giants all the initiative they needed to put the tie to bed in the first leg.

  1. 'Not here to give advice to Arteta!' - Guardiola snaps back at reporter

    A nonplussed Pep Guardiola dismissed a question from a reporter that related to Mikel Arteta chasing his first Premier League title as a manager, insisting that he had not attended his pre-match press conference to offer advice to the Arsenal boss. Manchester City face Leeds on Saturday evening as they look to close the gap at the top of the table to two points, with the Gunners not in action until Sunday, when they host Chelsea.

  2. 🎥 | The Late Run with Ochocinco debuts with Bert Kreischer

Bert retells The Machine origin story, breaks down what makes a great comedian, and somehow ends up pledging to become a real soccer fan.

  2. Disasi: Chelsea 'bomb squad' treatment was tough

    French centre-back Axel Disasi has finally lifted the lid on his turbulent and frustrating period at Stamford Bridge before securing a crucial winter loan move to West Ham United.

  3. Cherki's ‘confusing’ flaw revealed by ex-Lyon teammate

    Manchester City’s summer signing Rayan Cherki has long been hailed as one of the most natural talents in world football, but former Lyon teammate Remy Riou has shed light on the frustrating side of the playmaker’s game. Despite being described as a freestyle football player similar to Ronaldinho, Riou believes Cherki’s tendency to overcomplicate things often hampered his efficiency during their time together in France.

  4. End of an England era as Walker confirms retirement

    After an illustrious international journey spanning 15 years, legendary defender Kyle Walker has officially announced his retirement from the England national team.

  1. Lewandowski 'not even 50% sure' on next move as Barca exit nears

    Robert Lewandowski has opened up on his future at Barcelona as his current contract at Camp Nou nears its expiry date, sparking intense speculation across the footballing world. The veteran striker, who arrived in 2022 and quickly became the focal point of the Blaugrana attack, finds himself at a crossroads. Despite his status as a club leader, a recent dip in form and the emergence of younger talents have left his role under Hansi Flick looking increasingly vulnerable.

  2. Andre breaks silence on failed Milan move

    Corinthians starlet Andre has finally addressed the collapse of his high-profile move to AC Milan, insisting that while playing in Europe remains a long-term goal, he is content staying with the Brazilian giants.

Queens of football 👑

  1. Winners & losers from the Lionesses' first camp of 2026

    Some England camps pass by without there being much new to learn; the Lionesses' first camp of 2026 was not one of those. As Sarina Wiegman's side returned to competitive action for the first time since their triumphant European Championship campaign, getting off to a perfect start in qualifying for the 2027 Women's World Cup with impressive wins over both Ukraine and Iceland, a whole host of talking points were created.

Superstars of the future

  1. Spurs' future captain who could help their current crisis

    For a club the size of Tottenham, their academy hasn't produced too many successful graduates since the turn of the century. Of course, Harry Kane is the standout name and would be the shining example of any youth system, but beyond him, the pickings are slim. The full list of active alumni from the Spurs academy who went on to play for the first team is as follows: Kane, Harry Winks, Oliver Skipp, Kyle Walker-Peters, Andros Townsend, Troy Parrott, Nabil Bentaleb, Massimo Luongo, Maksim Paskotsi, Milos Veljkovic, Anthony Georgiou and Cameron Carter-Vickers.

  2. Ex-Madrid forward's son earning interest from Europe's elite

    Robinho Jr only turned 18 in December, but he has already broken into the senior team at Santos, where he is now rubbing shoulders with Brazil's all-time record goal-scorer, Neymar. The teenager is already attracting transfer interest from a host of top European clubs, partly because of his ability, but also due to the footballing legacy of his father.

  3. Why Italy are desperate to cap Atalanta's new wonderkid

    Honest Ahanor is just 17 years old - and yet on Sunday he started his fifth successive game for Atalanta, against Como. Unfortunately, Ahanor's afternoon came to an abrupt end - and quite literally by his own hand. Just eight minutes into the game at Sinigaglia, the defender was involved in an innocuous, off-the-ball clash with Maxi Perrone, who shamelessly collapsed to the ground as if Ahanor had struck him in the face.

The Chaaaaaampions 🎶

  1. Osimhen sure Galatasaray 'can hurt' Liverpool at Anfield

    Victor Osimhen was the architect of a famous European night in Istanbul as Galatasaray secured a vital 1-0 lead over Liverpool in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie. The Nigerian superstar provided a sublime assist for Mario Lemina to net the only goal of the game, leaving the Premier League giants with plenty of work to do in the return leg. Following the final whistle, a defiant Osimhen warned the Reds that the Turkish champions have what it takes to finish the job on Merseyside.
