Lampard comes to Boehly's defense after American owner's ‘embarrassing’ dressing-room speech

Chelsea are not a "broken" team this season and co-owner Todd Boehly had every right to address the squad he has invested in, manager Frank Lampard said on Monday ahead of their Champions League quarterfinal against Real Madrid.

Chelsea, who trail Real Madrid 2-0 on aggregate after losing the first leg at the Santiago Bernabéu, come into the game on the back of a six-match winless run, with interim boss Lampard losing his first three games in charge.

¿No que era el peor de la Eredivisie? Jorge Sánchez hace gol, da asistencia y es el mejor del partido

Ajax venció a FC Emmen por 3-1, en un duelo redondo para Edson Álvarez y Jorge Sánchez. Los mexicanos incluso conectaron en la apertura de la cuenta, en una imagen que desató una tormenta de emojis con ojitos en forma de corazón. 

Sánchez además aportó con una asistencia y fue elegido el hombre del partido, un logro quizás inesperado, pero motivante considerando las penurias que ha vivido durante la campaña

La conquista del lateral se produjo en el minuto 22 a balón detenido y tuvo la colaboración de Machín.

The neck and neck goalscoring battle between Ricardo Pepi and Santi Giménez in the Eredivisie

The spicy rivalry between the USMNT and México is having a remarkable round in the 2022-23 Eredivisie as strikers Ricardo Pepi and Santiago Giménez battle neck and neck among the division's top scorers. After 29 games, both have netted 11 goals and are just three behind Xavi Simmons (PSV) and Anastasios Douvikas (FC Utrecht), who currently lead the race with 14 each.

Although the realities of their teams are extremely different, Pepi and Giménez are not giving space to each other with both finding the net again this weekend.

Is this the cheekiest penalty of all time?

Looking at the Ligue 1 standings, it's safe to say that bottom-of-the-table Angers are destined for relegation.

On Sunday, the club travelled to mid-table Clermont Foot in one of the most unremarkable matches across France this weekend, meaning it was up to the supporters to largely entertain themselves at Clermont's modest Stade Gabriel Montpied.

The traveling Angers fans — hoping to witness just a fourth victory in 31 attempts — had a little corner to themselves and could be seen wearing black for the first 20 minutes.

3 guys figure out how to watch Barcelona for free

It's not every day you get a chance to see Robert Lewandowski, Sergio Busquets, Gavi and LaLiga champions-elect Barcelona in the flesh, so spectators used any accessible vantage point at the Alfonso Pérez stadium on Sunday to get a glimpse of the traveling Blaugrana. 

Following a 0-0 draw (Barça's second in a row), it's probably fair to say the main story actually concerns those who missed the trip through injury (Ousmane Dembélé and Pedri), but three ingenious young men avoided paying a dime for the nil-nil affair by scaling a large tree.

Guillermo Ochoa sigue en plan grande con la Salernitana y su actuación, más el resultado obtenido esta semana frente al Torino, han ayudado a que su equipo logre una marca nunca antes vista para sus aficionados.

Memo llegó a Italia a dejar huella.

El récord invicto e histórico de la Salernitana con Memo Ochoa

La Salernitana visitó al Torino en la J30 de la Serie A jugada este domingo y, como ya estamos acostumbrados, Memo Ochoa volvió a ser vital para que su equipo sumara puntos de forastero.

Ciro Immobile suffers spinal cord injury and compound rib fracture in car accident

Lazio forward Ciro Immobile is under observation in hospital after he fractured his rib and hurt his back in a car crash in Rome, the Serie A club said on Sunday.

Italian media reported Immobile, who scored in Lazio's 3-0 win at Spezia on Friday, was involved in an accident after the Italy international's car collided with a tram in Rome.

Bukayo Saka misses PK as Arsenal stumble to damaging draw at West Ham

Those looking for trials and tribulations in Arsenal's quest for the Premier League title weren't left disappointed Sunday as the Gunners travelled to West Ham for a London derby that initially looked over inside 10 minutes.  

In the seventh-minute, a wonderfully constructed Arsenal move was finished by Gabriel Jesus after Martin Ødegaard played Ben White into space for a pass across the goalmouth that West Ham's Vladimír Coufal refused to deal with.

Chelsea want to get rid of eight players this summer, Pulisic among those on the chopping block

Chelsea spent some serious cash in the latest transfer windows and it seems they will continue this summer. But in order to comply with financial fair-play rules, the team needs to cut a few players from their current squad. 

Reports from England say the club already has a list of eight men ready to be offered in some sort of "summer fire sale."

Is Chelsea selling Christian Pulisic?

Officially, the club hasn't mentioned the players' names, but insiders have some guesses as to who is on the chopping block. And USMNT star Christian Pulisic is among them. 

Arteta asks Arsenal players to "finish the job" in tight Premier League title race

Arsenal's players must pull out all the stops and "finish the job" if they hope to fend off rivals Manchester City and win the club's first Premier League title since 2004, manager Mikel Arteta said ahead of Sunday's trip to West Ham United.

The leaders' seven-match winning run in the league allowed them to maintain their lead over second-placed City, but a 2-2 draw at Liverpool last weekend has given their pursuers a chance to ratchet up the pressure on the Londoners.
