Chelsea May Benefit From Missing Europe Next Season Says Rooney

Former Manchester United and England striker Wayne Rooney believes Chelsea's failure to qualify for European competitions will help them become "a real threat" in the Premier League next season. Chelsea concluded a disappointing campaign with a 2-1 loss against Sunderland on Sunday, resulting in the dismissal of coaches Enzo Maresca and Liam Rosenior. The Blues will not participate in European football next season. With Xabi Alonso set to take over as the new manager in July, Rooney is optimistic about Chelsea's future. Speaking on the Wayne Rooney Podcast, he said: "I think they'll be a real threat next season. Having just one game per week, along with Alonso's arrival, is exciting for the Premier League.

Chelsea appoint Xabi Alonso as coach on four-year deal

Chelsea have appointed Spanish tactician Xabi Alonso as their new manager on a four-year deal, bringing an end to weeks of speculation over the club’s next head coach. The 44-year-old former Liverpool and Real Madrid midfielder will take charge from July 1, 2026, after agreeing a contract that runs until 2030. Alonso has been out of work since his brief spell in charge of Real Madrid ended in January, but his reputation remains high after previously guiding Bayer Leverkusen to an historic unbeaten Bundesliga title. Chelsea’s owners, BlueCo, identified him as their top target following the dismissal of Liam Rosenior and moved quickly to finalise personal terms. Reports say Alonso sought clear assurances over Chelsea’s transfer strategy and the extent of his authority before committing to the project. His title as manager rather than just head coach is seen as a significant […]

Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa has launched a strong defence of Kylian Mbappe after the French forward was criticised for supposedly neglecting his defensive duties in the Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich.​ Some pundits and fans claimed Mbappe did not work hard enough off the ball as Real Madrid lost 4–3 in the second leg of their quarter final, going out 6–4 on aggregate. The Spanish side finished the match with 10 men after Eduardo Camavinga was sent off in the 86th minute.​ Arbeloa rejected the criticism at his pre match press conference ahead of Real’s La Liga game against Alaves. He insisted he had nothing to reproach Mbappe for, stressing that the 25 year old star was at the top of his game, scored in both legs and worked hard in defence as well as attack.​ The coach […]

Liverpool contact Xabi Alonso over potential Anfield return

Liverpool have contacted the representatives of former midfielder Xabi Alonso to ask about his availability for a possible return to Anfield in the near future. The 44‑year‑old, who recently left Real Madrid by mutual consent after a difficult spell in charge, is said to have given a positive response to the initial approach from his old club.​ Alonso had previously turned down opportunities from both Bayern Munich and Liverpool in the spring of 2024, choosing instead to remain at Bayer Leverkusen, where he was enjoying a successful project. Liverpool’s latest move is described as an attempt to anticipate future developments and determine whether they can realistically count on him as a managerial option.​ The club’s hierarchy are balancing longstanding respect for Alonso’s legacy as a player with ongoing admiration for current manager Arne Slot, who remains in charge despite recent […]

Mbappe misses Real Madrid training before Man City clash

Kylian Mbappe missed Real Madrid’s training session on Tuesday, putting his participation in the Champions League showdown against Manchester City in serious doubt. The 26 year old forward recently fractured a finger in the La Liga defeat to Celta Vigo and is now experiencing enough discomfort to sit out full training.​ Spanish reports say the club initially expected Mbappe to play through the pain using protective strapping on his hand. However, he is also understood to be dealing with muscle discomfort in his left leg, which has raised additional concern over his fitness for the match at the Santiago Bernabeu.​ Mbappe has been Real Madrid’s main attacking threat this season, scoring more than half of the team’s goals in all competitions. Losing him would be a major blow for coach Xabi Alonso as he prepares to face Pep Guardiola’s side […]

Real Madrid, Barcelona look to rebound from Clasico fallout

Real Madrid and Barcelona will look to move past the fallout from last weekend’s heated Clasico clash as both clubs return to La Liga action this weekend. Madrid may have triumphed 2–1 over their arch-rivals, but the match exposed underlying tensions — particularly between coach Xabi Alonso and Brazilian star Vinicius Jr. Vinicius, who reacted angrily after being substituted in the 72nd minute, apologised to fans, teammates, and club officials on Wednesday. “Today I want to apologise to all Madrid fans for my reaction to being substituted in the Clasico… I have also apologised in person to my teammates, club, and president,” said the 25-year-old, notably omitting Alonso from his statement. The incident comes amid ongoing contract negotiations, though Vinicius’ current deal runs until 2027. Despite his five league goals this season, the Brazilian has been overshadowed by Kylian Mbappe, […]

Real Madrid Aim to End Barca’s Clasico Dominance

Real Madrid is determined to end Barcelona's recent dominance in El Clásico when the two rivals face off on Sunday in La Liga. Last season, Barcelona defeated Madrid in all four of their meetings. Now, under new coach Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid leads the league table by two points and is looking to extend that lead to five with a home victory. The match is a key test for Madrid's star striker, Kylian Mbappé. After a disappointing debut in this fixture last year, the French international is in superb form, having scored 15 goals for his club this season. Madrid will rely on his attacking threat against a Barcelona defense that has looked vulnerable. A win for Madrid would not only solidify their position at the top of the table but also ease doubts about their ability to perform in […]

Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso has expressed support for La Liga players protesting the league’s decision to stage a match in the United States. La Liga recently announced that Barcelona’s away game against Villarreal will be played in Miami on December 20, marking the first time a European league fixture will take place abroad. In response, the Spanish Footballers’ Association (AFE) announced a “symbolic protest” at the start of every La Liga game this week. On Friday, players from Oviedo and Espanyol remained still for the first 15 seconds of their match, though the moment was not shown in the broadcast. “We are against the match; we believe it distorts the competition,” Alonso said during a press conference on Saturday. “There hasn’t been unanimity or proper consultation for it to be played on neutral ground. The protests are positive, and […]
