Con Héctor Herrera jugando los 90 minutos, Atlético de Madrid acabó con un amargo 1-1 ante Manchester United en Champions League.
Luego de un gran partido ante Osasuna, el fin de semana pasado, Diego Simeone volvió a darle un lugar como titular a HH. Y el mexicano no decepcionó. Fiero en el mediocampo y hasta con una incidental participación en el gol colchonero, el mediocampista tuvo un gran desempeño. Sin embargo, cuando el partido se iba y sin merecerlo mucho, el equipo inglés logró la igualdad.
Manchester United fans closely following this current campaign are well aware of young Anthony Elanga. The rest of Europe is now taking notice after the teenager salvaged a 1-1 draw against Atlético Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 on Wednesday.
United struggled for long portions of the match at the Wanda Metropolitano; Cristiano Ronaldo often had to drop deep into his own half just to get a touch of the ball. After an early goal from João Félix, it looked like a classic Diego Simeone victory over a British side.
Enter Anthony Elanga.
El minutaje de Héctor Herrera en el Atlético de Madrid no ha sido muy alto esta temporada. HH apenas acumula 563 minutos a través de todas las competencias y su futuro como colchonero es una incógnita.
Thinking back over the first six months of the Premier League season, it has seemed like an unusually poor year for goalkeepers. This has been evident from the opening weekend, when a plethora of minor goalkeeping errors led to a forgettable start to the season.
David de Gea has been sensational, but aside from the Man United keeper, who has stood out between the posts this year?
MANCHESTER — Cristiano Ronaldo broke his goal drought to score Manchester United's opener in a 2-0 victory vs. Brighton & Hove Albion that lifted them into the Premier League's top four on Tuesday.
Ronaldo, without a goal since December and dropped to the bench by interim manager Ralf Rangnick in some recent matches, struck five minutes after halftime with a superb finish after being played in by Scott McTominay.
My WORD what a strike from Ronaldo!
At this point it's one of the most outrageous traditions in all of sports — Manchester City hosts Manchester United in Women's Super League play and City midfielder Caroline Weir scores a contender for the Puskás Award.
It all began in 2019 when, in the inaugural WSL Manchester derby, Weir lashed a 25-yard rocket into the far corner to the delight of 31,213 at the Etihad.
If you played soccer in an American high school, then you are well familiarized with the slander that comes to soccer players. Terms like “field fairies” are constantly hurled at us soccer players for society’s perception that we can’t be tough. This Bruno Fernandes punch against Southampton hasn’t helped the cause at all.
Manchester United returned to the top of the table on Monday but not the one they were hoping for as they were named the club with the biggest transfer losses in the last decade, splashing out more than $1.14 billion on players.
A study published by Switzerland-based independent research group CIES Football Observatory revealed United had a net spend of $1.23 billion since 2012, spending $1.77 billion on transfers while making $538 million back in player sales.
Former England and Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney said he was not prepared for the pressure that accompanied his rise to elite level soccer as a teenager and he turned to drink to cope with his problems.
Derby County manager Rooney began his playing career with boyhood club Everton, scoring his first Premier League goal in spectacular fashion as a 16-year-old against Arsenal in 2002.
