Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has told his players he will leave the LaLiga club at the end of the season, Spanish media reported late on Saturday.
Radio station Onda Cero said Zidane informed the players about his decision before last weekend's 2-2 LaLiga draw at home with Sevilla where Real missed the chance to top the table.
Newspaper Marca said he addressed the team on May 8, a day before that game.
After putting three past RB Leipzig in Bundesliga action last weekend, Borussia Dortmund managed that feat again in the 2021 DFB-Pokal Final on Thursday, except they did it in just 45 rip-roaring minutes at Berlin’s Olympiastadion.
But just like the league match, Leipzig gave Dortmund everything it could handle in the second half.
MANCHESTER, England - Liverpool's squad arrived safely at Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium for Thursday's Premier League clash as home fans protesting against the club's owners attempted to disrupt the game for a second time in 10 days.
Sky Sports posted a video on Twitter showing players and officials arriving at the stadium for the match, which is scheduled to kick off at 8.15 p.m. local time (1915 GMT) even as fans let off flares outside the venue in a largely peaceful protest.
The Champions League final between Manchester City and Chelsea will be played at Porto's Estadio do Dragão on May 29, instead of Istanbul's Atatürk Olympic Stadium, to allow 6,000 fans from each team to attend, UEFA announced today.
There are very few people who can tell Cristiano Ronaldo what to do, but his mom, Dolores Aveiro, insists she will try to convince her son to return to his boyhood club Sporting this summer.
While Ronaldo leads the way in the Serie A goalscoring charts this term, scoring his 100th Juventus goal in his side's 3-1 win at Sassuolo on Wednesday, his club have endured a difficult season and could finish outside the top four.
El Atlético de Madrid superó esta tarde a la Real Sociedad, en un partido que más o menos resume su agónica carrera al título de LaLiga. Ventaja rápida, tempranera y a paso demoledor para luego acabar lleno de dudas, pidiendo la hora y con una tonelada de sufrimiento en las venas.
Muy a lo Simeone.
En el Wanda Metropolitano, su casa, el Atlético comenzó con velas desatadas. Luis Suárez y Marcos Llorente liberaban la infantería, pero algo faltaba para que su superioridad se expresara en goles. De todos modos, no hubo que esperar mucho.
It’s still happening. It looked entirely impossible after a 12-game stretch between February and April that yielded only five wins, but Atlético Madrid has bravely said damn the statistics, damn the xG, damn Florentino Pérez and let Barcelona damn itself.
130 partidos le tomó a Cristiano Ronaldo alcanzar su gol número 100 con la camiseta de la Juventus. El portugués logró la cifra en la victoria sobre el Sassuolo por 1-3 y en una semana en que brotan rumores de que el plantel no está muy contento con él.
La Vecchia Signora visitó al Sassuolo con la obligación de ganar y así mantener las chances de clasificar a la Champions League 2021/22. La misión no sería fácil.
With his clinical half-volley finish against Fulham on Monday, not only did Wood ensure Burnley's Premier League status for next season, but he also confirmed his status as one of the most consistent strikers in the Premier League.
Burnley go up 2-0, and guess who tallies it?
It's Chris Wood AGAIN. pic.twitter.com/7Rm2GbOK11
