Real Madrid beat Getafe 1-0 but lost Eduardo Camavinga in the second half to what looked like a knee injury just four days before the trip to the Etihad to face Manchester City.

The 20-year-old French international was important for Real Madrid in the first leg attacking from left back and he set up Madrid’s goal. If he is ruled out of the second leg David Alaba would move to left back and Eder Militao would return to the centre of defence to partner Antonio…

A genuine legend of the sport, Carlo Ancelotti has had the pleasure of managing a nauseating amount of genuinely elite footballers across his time with the likes of AC Milan, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, PSG and Real Madrid. Sorry, Everton. You’re not included in this. Thanks for that funny run in the 2020-21 lockdown season where you looked competent and actually exciting for a brief period under the Italian, but that’s as far as your involvement here goes. Frankly, even if by some divine miracle Ancelotti had managed to deliver success in the form of silverware or European football at Everton…

Here are nine Arsenal wonderkids that were predicted to make it at the very highest but have since…
Erling Haaland has laid waste to domestic and continental defences this season, scoring 50 goals and rendering opponents less relevant than firefighters trying to tackle King Kong – but Real Madrid’s Antonio Rudiger may have shown everybody how to stop him. As well as being an elite defender, Rudiger has carefully cultivated his reputation as the most peculiar guy in Christendom over the years.
