No hay que ser adivino para saber que la primera experiencia de José Juan Macías en el fútbol europeo no camina como él pensaba que sería. Su equipo, el Getafe, marcha en el último puesto de LaLiga con apenas un punto en ocho jornadas y hoy acaba de completar su proceso de cambio de entrenador: el criticado y despedido Míchel da paso a Quique Sánchez Flores.
OFICIAL | Quique Sánchez Flores nuevo entrenador azulón.
PARIS — France striker Kylian Mbappe on Tuesday fell short of saying he would leave Paris Saint-Germain when his contract expires at the end of the season.
The 22-year-old told the Ligue 1 club he wanted to join Real Madrid during the close season, only for PSG to turn down the Spanish club's offers.
The UEFA Women’s Champions League will for the first time feature a 16-team group stage this year, eschewing the old format of jumping right to a 32-team knockout tournament. With some mouthwatering matchups across four groups of four, here’s everything you need to know about how to watch Women's Champions League matches in the U.S. from the group stage forward.
The UEFA Women’s Champions League returns for its 21st edition on Tuesday, beginning with a first-ever, 16-team group stage. The 2021-22 UWCL is the biggest (20% more games with the group phase), best (UEFA is producing every game for TV or streaming purposes with DAZN and YouTube as global broadcast partners) and most lucrative yet ($29 million redistributed to the women’s game across Europe).
MADRID— Former Barcelona striker Luis Suarez heaped more misery on his old club as Atletico Madrid claimed a 2-0 LaLiga victory over the Catalans at the Wanda Metropolitano on Saturday.
First-half strikes from Thomas Lemar and Suarez were enough for the champions to secure all three points and heap pressure on the visitors' beleaguered boss Ronald Koeman.

It's fair to say Barcelona's announcement of the signing of Luuk de Jong was met with skepticism and surprise. The fact that he was brought in specifically in line with the wishes of Ronald Koeman, with whom the Barça faithful's patience is wearing thin, can not have helped his cause. It also didn't help that he was brought in to ease the sting of Lionel Messi's departure, something which was never going to be easy.
Ronald Koeman, it’s time for your 45-second phone call.
After an embarrassingly limp (zero shots on target) 3-0 defeat to Bayern Munich at the Camp Nou to begin Champions League play, Barcelona played even worse on Wednesday night during a 3-0 defeat to Benfica in Lisbon (one shot on target!).
There are some things that will never get old, no matter how often they happen or how much you hate the team doing it. Two of those things are volleys off set pieces and Cristiano Ronaldo taking his shirt off to celebrate a goal. Both happened on Wednesday at Old Trafford.
The experts gave FC Sheriff Tiraspol a 2 percent chance of winning at the Santiago Bernabéu against Real Madrid on Tuesday. The Moldovan club pulled off the most unlikely upset in Champions League history to win 2-1.
If you were to put $100 on Sheriff defeating Real Madrid, you would have won $2,800. The result is mindboggling, and it came in the most dramatic fashion with an 89th minute screamer from Luxembourg international Sebastien Thill.
Barcelona volvió a ganar después de cuatro partidos llenos de tormento. Fue una victoria cómoda sobre el Levante (3-0) y que sirvió para celebrar el retorno goleador del jovencísimo Ansu Fati, el llamado a ser el heredero de Lionel Messi, quien hoy camina los céspedes de la Ligue1 con la camiseta del PSG.
Fati ingresó al campo en los últimos 10 minutos y con el número 10 en la espalda, dando por superada una lasceración meniscal que lo obligó a varias cirugías y 322 días de recuperación.
