After Liverpool's loss against Real Madrid in the champions league final, news broke that Mane was going to be leaving the club. We're not sure many people expected that news, because, in truth, most of the attention recently has been on Salah's own future.

Footballers leave their clubs every year. Uhm, well actually, that even happens twice a year, and most times, they leave quietly without any drama. But it's not always that way. Sometimes, players end up getting proper send-offs. Yunno, like speeches, tears and all that stuff. Other times, however, it could get a bit messy, and players get pretty disappointing exits even after being great servants...

It's a pretty common thing to see people who work in the same fields as their parents. Sometimes they even work in the same organizations. We've also seen this in football on many occasions.

Just recently, we witnessed the dramatic end to one of football's most controversial transfer sagas, as Kylian Mbappe finally signed a new contract to remain at PSG.  For most of the past one year, it looked pretty certain that he would move to Real Madrid. Even just a few days before he signed that contract, he had promised Madrid president Florentino Perez that he would move to the club. &n...

We were all given a decent dose of shock over the weekend when Kylian Mbappe announced that he would be remaining at PSG despite virtually everything pointing towards him joining Real Madrid this summer.

You gotta admit, when Madrid comes calling, players almost always fall head over heels running towards t...

Recently, Manchester City unveiled a statue of Sergio Aguero to celebrate that famous title-winning goal he scored in 2012 against QPR.

But that's not what we're here to talk about today.  Today we'll be talking about that game, specifically the injury time towards the end...

For footballers, what’s the one thing that puts them at risk of this condition? Headers!  Over the years, we have seen different footballers come out in bad condition after going in for an aerial duel.  Some start bleeding on the spot.

There are 2 main trophies that every English team strives to win season in, season out – the Premier League and the Champions League.

Arsenal football club. The third most successful club in England. The only English team to ever win the league without losing a single game.

Why do even they have a large gun in their logo? Well, guess what? We will be...

You know, there are so many things footballers do that we can’t even explain. Who can say why those guys do half the things they do? Like, why do some guys kiss the grass before entering the pitch? Why do some guys wear bandages around their wrists or palms when they obviously don’t have injuries? Why do some players make holes in their socks? So, let’s take a closer look into that last question a...

From going in and out of the hospital and being regarded as a waste of money by Barcelona fans, Dembele has risen to become one of the most important players under Xavi. Currently, no one in La Liga has more assists than the Frenchman, despite having played significantly fewer games than everyone else in the top 20.

Now, it wasn't just because of his status as arguably the greatest player of all time. It was also because he was joining from Barcelona where he had spent all of his senior careers. So naturally, when that deal was announced, it was met with a mixture of emotions. On one hand, you had the fans of Barcelona who were hurt to see their greatest player exit the club. And on the other hand, you had th...
