what I have drawn from the game was:

1- Dinho s early ogal was a good shot but a bit lucky, you know as it was deflected into the goal by a Man Utd player. Nevertheless, he put on quite a display for his fans in the 1st half his efforts were just splendid ! But, in the 2nd half the entire Milan team faded away, which is exactly the kind of inconsistency Ronaldinho is showing and what is preventing him from becoming the best in world.

2-Fletcher was the truely the man behind the win providing 2 vital crosses to Rooney who scored two awesome headers from them. Which really confirms my belief that he is one of the best as Ser Alex says.

3- Carrick made a very good game. I mean his defencive skills were just super-vital to United s win, despite his role in the Milan…

Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has resumed regular training ahead of Sunday s Club World Cup final against Kashima Antlers.

The Spain international missed Madrid s semi-final win over America as a precautionary measure after complaining about a minor knock following Madrid s journey to Japan.

Ramos took part in Saturday s training session without any noteworthy issues, though, and is ready to make his comeback versus the J-League champions.

Fellow defender Pepe, meanwhile, was unable to participate with his team-mates and seems set to miss out on Sunday s showpiece, with Raphael Varane expected to get the nod alongside Ramos.

Real Madrid will be gunning for their second Club World Cup title when they take on Kashima Antlers, having previously lifted th…

Jurgen Klopp was hopeful Thiago Alcantara s calf injury would prove not too serious after Liverpool beat Crystal Palace in one of the most hard-fought three-nils ever .

The Reds went top of the Premier League, three points ahead of Manchester City and Manchester United, who play West Ham on Sunday, by seeing off a spirited Palace side who twice had chances in the opening three minutes at Anfield.

Liverpool shrugged off an unconvincing start to claim an ultimately comfortable win thanks to goals from Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Naby Keita.

Mane s goal saw him net his 100th for Liverpool, but the victory was somewhat marred by Thiago limping off just after the hour mark.

Klopp said of the former Bayern Munich man: He felt the calf. So far I don t know e…

Paul Pogba has expressed his desire to emulate Juventus legends upon his return to the club, following a six-year stint with Manchester United.

The French World Cup winner returned to Turin ahead of the 2022-23 season but is yet to feature in his second spell at the club due to injury.

Pogba has hopes of becoming a club legend like Andrea Pirlo, Gianluigi Buffon and Georgio Chiellini, who he played with in his previous stint with Juventus.

He also conceded the final half of his spell with United was not up to scratch and believes the stars aligned to present him and Juve with a fresh challenge together once again.

I like to think and say that it is my heart that made the choice. It was also perhaps the right time to come back here. The last three years i…

Sergio Ramos played up his role as the pantomime villain during an awkward reunion with Mohamed Salah at the Champions League group stage draw.

The Real Madrid captain was seated behind Salah at the event in Monaco as the Liverpool star was given a painful reminder of the shoulder injury he sustained in May s final.

Ramos was at the centre of the controversial incident, with his actions in bringing down the forward recently described as ruthless and brutal by Jurgen Klopp.

And the 32-year-old appeared to poke fun at the furore on Thursday by gently placing his hand on the same left shoulder on his way back from collecting the competition s Defender of the Season award.

Egypt international Salah later lost out to Cristiano Ronaldo for the Forward of …

Tottenham will look to extend their unbeaten home record when they welcome struggling West Ham on Sunday.

Andre Villas-Boas side are undefeated in their last 10 competitive matches at White Hart Lane, last tasting defeat at the venue against Fulham in March.

Home Premier League wins against Swansea City and Norwich City have seen Tottenham s campaign begin positively and they lie third in the table, behind only Liverpool and London rivals Arsenal.

Spurs will enter the game off the back of a 2-0 UEFA Europa League win at Anzhi Makhachkala on Thursday, with Jermain Defoe and Nacer Chadli scoring in the first half for the visitors.

Defoe has now scored seven goals in cup matches for Tottenham this season, but he has netted just once in the league this year.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger feels Nacho Monreal is fully deserving of his impending contract extension, hailing the Spaniard s consistent improvement since arriving in north London.

Monreal, whose existing deal is due to expire at the end of next season, will reportedly agree a new three-year contract in the coming days.

The 29-year-old has started all but one of his side s Premier League games this term, helping Arsenal to the top of the table while also remaining in the Champions League and FA Cup.

Arsenal have previously been reluctant to offer long-term deals to players aged 30 or over and when Wenger was asked whether Monreal was in a rush to agree a deal before his next birthday in February, the Frenchman joked: Certainly.

But, turning to Monreal…

Kaka wants his former club AC Milan to follow the lead of bitter rivals Juventus to recapture their former glories.

The Brazilian midfielder won the Champions League with Milan in 2007 and subsequently lifted the Ballon d Or before securing a move to Real Madrid and said he is struggling to understand why the club has declined so rapidly in recent years.

Milan finished eighth in 2013-14 outside the Serie A top three for the first time in five years and then 10th last season.

The Italian giants languish in eighth place this season, having won just eight of 19 league games.

Kaka said Juventus have shown the way to get back up the table, after coming back from Serie B to claim the Serie A title four years in a row, also making the Champions League final la…

VfL Wolfsburg No. 10 Diego has confirmed English Premier League duo Arsenal and Southampton are interested in signing him in the summer.

The former Brazil international, 28, joined Wolfsburg from Italian giants Juventus for a club record transfer fee of €15.5 million in 2010.

After one season at the Volkswagen Arena, Diego was sent to Atlético Madrid on a season-long loan deal, where he tallied six goals and 10 assists in 43 appearances across all competitions.

Since returning to Wolfsburg last summer, the 28-year-old midfielder has been a central figure and first-team regular for the club.

However, Diego is set to become a free agent when his current contract expires at the end of the season.

Plenty of clubs across Europe will…
