Speaking to TyC Sports about the 2021/22 Champions League campaign, Lionel Messi said: "The best team doesn't always win. "Real Madrid, without taking anything away from them, much less because they are the champions of the Champions League and are always there, they weren't the best team in this Champions League and yet they beat them all. "I know what Real Madrid are, I've lived it for many years, all my life, up close. And I knew that could happen, because out of nowhere they score a goal and it automatically changes the match." "I wanted to win it again and it annoyed me not being able to. It also makes me see that the best team does not always win the Champions League, that the Champions League is about situations. "There are specific moments, psychological moments that grab a team, where the slightest mistake leaves you out and the one who is most prepared for those situations ends up winning it or reaching the final." Real Madrid be...

  Tottenham have announced the transfer of Ivan Perisic. The vastly experienced Croatia international will join the Club on 1 July following the expiration of his contract at Internazionale and has agreed a deal that will run until 2024. A player with multiple winners’ medals under his belt, Ivan began his career in the youth academies of Hajduk Split and Sochaux before a short loan spell at KSV Roeselare in Belgium. In 2009, he joined Club Brugge where, in only his second season, he was the league’s top scorer and was named Belgium’s Footballer of the Year. A move to Germany followed in 2011 with Ivan winning the Bundesliga and German Cup (DFB-Pokal) in his first season at Borussia Dortmund, before adding a second DFB-Pokal and the DFL-Supercup following a move to VfL Wolfsburg in 2013.

He said: “The Nations League is unimportant in my eyes. “Just glorified friendlies after a long and tough season. I am not looking forward to it.” De Bruyne isn’t the first major footballer to complain about the Nations League, with many criticizing it’s format in the past. Kevin played 45 games for Man City last season, so it’s understandable why he’s agitated at having to play more. Belgium are set to play 4 Nations League games in June.

If other clubs call I will take the call, of course; It is something that is always done. “Of course I hear about the links to Man United, but the people in charge of the club [Barcelona] didn't tell me anything. “So then I will assume there is no agreement, and that nothing is going on.

Xavi has already called Ruben Neves about joining his project at Barcelona, according to Miguel Sanz (h/t Sport). Neves is considered a midfielder who could compete with Sergio Busquets in Barca's midfield, and even replace him. Reports claim the Portuguese midfielder is interested in joining Barca.

Jordan and James Milner are not getting any younger," Steven Gerrard said, as quoted by the Metro. "They’re still top players at this level, of course, and they’ll want to go on and do more. "But for Liverpool, if you think about the next five, six, seven years, they’re going to need a midfielder, an eight, who can get goals, who can get double figures. "They are heavily reliant on the front three – or the front five if you include Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino. "But you always need one of those midfielders that’s going to get in the box and get you goals." Basically, Gerrard suggests Liverpool sign a player like he was. The problem is that this kind of player is extremely difficult to find! Liverpool are linked with a move for Aurelien Tchouameni but the Frenchman looks like a more defensive player. Jude Bellingham looks like the kind of player Stevie talks about but he has already announced he's staying at Dortmund beyond this summer. The Reds have ...

Romelu Lukaku is hoping to end his nightmare at Chelsea and make a swift return to Inter Milan in the summer, as per Sky Sports. The Belgian forward’s lawyers have a meeting set up with Inter Milan’s representatives to discuss a potential move. Chelsea aren’t actively looking to sell Lukaku, but could think about a move if the offer is right, as he is not a regular starter under Thomas Tuchel anymore. However, a possible transfer is complicated as the Blues had spent over £100m on him last summer and would want something similar to let him go after a year. Lukaku irked Chelsea fans last year after expressing his unhappiness at the club and stating he would like to return to Inter in an interview last year.

  Real Madrid are eyeing Chelsea target Chicago Fire goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina. Marca says he has an EU passport, although he is clear that his national team, despite his Polish origin, is the United States. Real Madrid's interest has been reported by Fabrizio Romano and Slonina fits the profile of the modern goalkeeper, that is to say, close to two metres tall (1.93 centimetres), powerful and possessing good ball skills. In the event that the deal is completed, his destination would be Castilla, but it is not ruled out that he could be one of the first team goalkeepers in the almost certain event of Andriy Lunin departing in search of playing time. A number of Premier League clubs have been looking at Slonina during the season, with Chelsea being the closest to signing him. However, the London club's sanctions put the brakes on the move, which has allowed Real Madrid and two other unnamed Premier League clubs to enter the equation. Source: Tribalfootball

Alongside highly sought-after RB Leipzig hotshot Christopher Nkunku, Martinez is under consideration after the club's takeover was confirmed. A move to Stamford Bridge would seemingly reunite him with ex-Inter striker partner Romelu Lukaku. However, reports from Italy claim that the Nerazzurri have made the Chelsea man - who recently split with his agent - their priority transfer target, meaning it could be a sliding doors moment as the pair swap employers.

Taking to Instagram to react to Barcelona’s 2021/22 season, Marc-Andre ter Stegen wrote: “Our season comes to an end, one with many challenges and changes. “After a difficult, not satisfying first half year, we put a lot of effort and turned our situation around. In the second half, we found good form and secured UCL which is very important. “We need to be competitive in all competitions and as players we can all improve. I’m positive for next season to continue our path, we want to play better and win! “Now my objective is disconnecting and resting, something I’ve not been able to do these last summers. Next season is important for both Barça and Germany, I’m looking forward to it. See you soon!” Ter Stegen made 48 appearances for Barca in the 2021/22 season, keeping 15 clean sheets and conceding 57 goals. Source: Tribuna.com

Barcelona are still unable to register Franck Kessie or Andreas Christensen into their squad because of the ongoing financial problems, claims Sport. The Blaugrana have complete agreement with both players to join them as free agents, but they haven’t been officially announced yet. That is mostly because of the fact that neither can be registered into the first-team squad due to the wage bill being way overboard. Similarly, Barca might’ve struck an agreement with Robert Lewandowski over a summer move – but they lack the funds to pay a fee to Bayern Munich for his services or even pay him his salary. The management are still looking for ways to fix the financial situation and needs to sell some players in the summer to make way for new signings. Source: Tribuna.com

Robert Lewandowski’s comments on Monday, in which he claimed his time at Bayern Munich is over, have not gone down well with the club. After that, Bayern’s CEO Oliver Kahn reacted to it and told Sport1: “Lewandowski? I can’t tell you why Robert chose this path. Statements like that don’t get you anywhere. Robert became a world footballer here twice the time. “I think he should know what he has at Bayern. Appreciation is not a one-way street.” It’s quite clear that Bayern is still not willing to let go of their star striker, despite him making it publicly clear that he wants to leave. Barcelona has even reportedly reached a verbal agreement to sign Lewandowski next season, but will now find it extremely hard to convince Bayern to sell him in the summer. Source: Tribuna.com
