Barcelona have done it.

They welcomed Inter Milan at the Camp Nou and managed to take all three points after a hard-fought 2-1 victory.

It was far from easy and the Italians even took an early lead but Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi combined forces and mounted an impressive comeback to record the Blaugrana’s first group stage victory of the campaign.

Antonio Conte’s men were brave and will most likely be disappointed with the outcome but there are still a lot of games to be played, and nothing is set in stone.

But if there was one player who didn’t really have the best of games, according to many Barca fans, then that was Antoine Griezmann, the Catalans’ big summer signing.

The Frenchman was deployed on the left wing once again and he failed to make any kind of impact throughout the clash, which many fans immediately recognised, calling his display a “disasterclass” and him the “worst player on the field”.

One fan even thinks that he will become the next Philippe Coutinho thanks to Ernesto Valverde. The Brazilian, of course, is currently on loan at Bayern Munich.

Check out some of their replies down in the tweets below:

Everton’s shocking league form may well be creeping into the international break if Seamus Coleman’s performance was anything to go by.

The Republic of Ireland managed to keep their unbeaten record in Euro 2020 qualifying intact after a 0-0 stalemate against Georgia.

Mick McCarthy’s men failed to inspire against the home side , though, as they managed just 45% possession and three attempts on target, per SofaScore.

The Boys in Green are now tied for the lead in Group D after Denmark’s late 1-0 win over Switzerland on Saturday evening.

In the eyes of several ROI supporters, their captain’s performance particularly stood out as being poor with one fan labelling him “massively overrated”.

Everton have lost four straight Premier League matches with Coleman starting in each one, and it appears that dire run of form has continued onto the international stage.

Others said he was “woeful” and “abysmal”.

One member of the Irish support even claimed the nation continued to overachieve with too many “mundane workhorses,” making a direct reference to the 31-year-old Toffees’ man.

Here’s more of the reaction:

At last. Wolves finally picked up the first win of their Premier League season.

The league’s rock-bottom side, Watford, were in town as the west Midlands side sent them back down the M1 with further woes.

Nuno Santo stuck with the 3-4-3 formation that he deployed at Crystal Palace only last week meaning Matt Doherty kept his place at right wing-back with Adama Traore playing further forward yet again.

The 27-year-old opened the scoring early in the first half after being expertly teed up by Pedro Neto, who perhaps was a surprise inclusion as a replacement for the injured Diogo Jota.

Doherty then turned semi-provider as his whipped ball into the box was headed on by Morgan Gibbs-White with the ball being diverted home via Watford defender Daryl Janmaat.

Neto’s performance should give his fellow countryman plenty to think about in the coming weeks as he looked electric on the left side of the front three.

Even though he was given just 57 minutes to showcase his talent, the 19-year-old set up their opener and created two big chances on top of that with defence-splitting key passes.

The assist in itself showed just a glimpse of what Neto can offer the squad.

Starting along the left flank, the winger’s dynamic turn of pace gave him enough time and space to fizzle a ball across the face of goal to allow Doherty to slot home the easiest of finishes.

It is that sort of attacking nous that has been absent to date as Wolves had only scored seven goals in the six league games previous to this one.

Now that the £6.3m-rated winger has repaid the faith shown in him by being handed his first Premier League start of the season, Neto should continue to be played even if it means at the expense of other key stars amongst the team.

He’s young and hungry, and hasn’t had much game time at all – players like Raul Jimenez have played over 40 times this calendar year alone and could do with a rest here and there, especially with games coming thick and fast on both the European and domestic front.

The Wolves boss would be a fool not to utilise Neto more this season.

أشاد الدولي البرازيلي ماركينيوس، لاعب وسط باريس سان جيرمان، بزميله كيلور نافس، بعد التعادل مع برشلونة في دور الـ16 بدوري أبطال أوروبا.

باريس سان جيرمان تعادل بهدفٍ لمثله مع برشلونة، في المباراة التي جمعت بين الفريقين، على ملعب “حديقة الأمراء”، مساء الأربعاء، ليتأهل لربع النهائي، مُستفيدًا من فوزه ذهابًا بأربعة أهداف مقابل هدف، ليتأهل بنتيجة 5-2 في مجموع المباراتين (طالع تقرير المباراة). شاهد أهداف مباراة برشلونة وباريس سان جيرمان

وقال ماركينيوس في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “ليكيب” الفرنسية: “لقد كانت مباراة صعبة بالنسبة لنا، كنا نعلم أنها ستكون مباراة مُختلفة تمامًا عن مباراة الذهاب”.

وأضاف: “برشلونة قدم أداءً جيدًا في مبارياته الماضية بعد الهزيمة في مباراة الذهاب، لقد كانت لديهم شجاعة كبيرة في الشوط الأول”.

وواصل: “لقد ضغطوا علينا جيدًا في الشوط الأول، وجدنا صعوبة في إخراج الكرة، لم نتمكن من التمرير إلى الأمام من أجل خلق الفرص”.

وأتبع: “ولكن هذه هي كرة القدم، هُناك أوقات جيدة وأوقات سيئة، وعليك الصمود في الأوقات الصعبة، ولقد فعلنا ذلك بمُساعدة نافس الرائع”.

[ad_pod ]Ah, Michael Owen.Who’d have thought that a man with as much charisma as a milk-less bowl of Weetabix could ruffle so many feathers?For those who haven’t yet caught up with Owen’s recent biography release ‘Reboot,’ and why it’s recently captured a fair bit of publicity, the ex-Premier League forward had some very harsh words for his former employers.Watch Newcastle United Live Streams With StreamFootball.tv Below

Here’s a short taster (courtesy of The Mirror): “My move to Newcastle was one I really regret – I should have followed my gut instincts from the start. I didn’t want to go there – my heart was still set on a return toÂLiverpool.

“NewcastleÂmanager Graeme Souness called me roughly every two weeks for almost the entire year I was in Spain and I can’t deny I liked the attention.

“As the year wore on, he’d call me and say things like: ‘Michael, I see you didn’t start last weekend. Would you think about coming to Newcastle?’

“While I don’t think I led Graeme on, with hindsight, I might have handled his first phone call differently.â€

Bear in mind, these are the words of a Ballon d’Or winning 39-year-old, not a high school student wading through the trials and tribulations of puberty and relationships.

Needless to say, Newcastle legend Alan Shearer wasn’t particularly pleased with his former teammate’s attempts to besmirch his beloved club. So championing the Magpies, he took to Twitter for the latest episode of Shearer and Owen’s 10-year feud…

Advantage Owen?

Gary Lineker couldn’t help himself…

And another big nibble from Michael to finish it off…

So there we have it – two of England’s greatest ever strikers taking digs at each other on social media. Cheap entertainment at its finest.

This article is part of Football FanCast’s Transfer Focus series, which provides opinion and analysis on recent transfer news…

Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce appears to have poured cold water over reports that Crystal Palace were looking to sign Ciaran Clark before the transfer window shuts, and it should come as a major blow to the Eagles.

What’s the word, then?

Well, The Sun reported on Monday that the south London outfit were hopeful of bringing the 29-year-old to Selhurst Park in either a £5m permanent move or a season-long loan deal, to provide competition for Mamadou Sakho and James Tomkins at the heart of the defence.

The Sun said at the time that it would be up to Bruce to decide whether he could afford to lose the centre-back, but his comments following the pre-season clash with Hibernian on Tuesday night suggest he has made his mind up.

He told BBC Newcastle: “The way we are with the injury to Lejeune and playing with three centre backs, if I let something happen to Ciaran Clark, we’d leave ourselves a bit short. I can’t really do that… I’ve had a quiet word with him and we move on.”

Blow for Palace

Following injuries suffered by Tomkins and Sakho in the second half of 2018/19 that ruled both out at the start of pre-season, it was obvious the lack of depth that the club had in those central defensive positions with the likes of Jairo Riedewald and Martin Kelly starting in their absence.

The Eagles could do with a reliable back-up player who could provide competition for a starting spot, and the 6 foot 1 Republic of Ireland international would have been the ideal candidate.

The former Aston Villa man has 165 Premier League appearances to his name and plenty of experience in that respect, and whether he was bought for £5m or arrived on loan he would have been seen as something of a shrewd addition in the modern era of extortianate transfer demands and fees.

Circumstances could change of course, but as things stand it doesn’t appear as though Clark will be in a red and blue shirt anytime soon – Hodgson may have to turn his attentions elsewhere in a bid to bring a new centre-back to the club.

Loads of Newcastle fans have been reacting to a shocking admission from Sam Allardyce, who claims he has rejected an offer to take charge of the club for a second time.

Allardyce stood in the St. James’ Park dugout for eight months between 2007 and 2008, winning just eight of 24 games in charge.

Now, with the club in total disarray, the 64 year-old has revealed he was contacted about returning to Tyneside.

“I was very flattered that I was considered but it’s that thing… don’t go back,” Big Sam told talkSPORT.

“It never got to the type of talks people are suggesting but it wasn’t for me. I politely said ‘no’.

“I never got to talk to Mike Ashley. My agent contacted me, I had a think about it and a quick look at the situation and thanked them very much but it’s not for me.

“Maybe if it was the first time around I would have jumped at it. I appreciate the offer but I was surprised, I’ve not worked for a full season.”

Understandably, this hasn’t gone down too well with the Toon Army, who are now convinced Ashley is simply “trolling” them.

Steve Bruce is expected to be the man to replace Rafael Benitez, per The Telegraph, and that potential appointment hasn’t exactly gone down well either.

Whether Bruce takes over or not though, the fact that Allardyce was even considered for the role has fans absolutely fuming on Twitter, and you can find some of the best reactions down below…

What does Marcelo Bielsa have up his sleeve as the transfer window rumbles on? It will all become clear over the coming weeks. Today’s Leeds transfer roundup includes news on an 18-year-old winger, an update in regards to a 25-year-old Premier League forward, and the signing of a player from Carlisle United.

Clarke joins Tottenham… and returns to Leeds on loan

It was confirmed on Tuesday that Jack Clarke has completed his move to Tottenham Hotspur from Leeds United, and he will now immediately rejoin the Whites on loan for next season. “It was a no-brainer to come back and the option was always there. I think it will be a lot better for my progression to spend another year here and I didn’t feel right leaving with how last season finished,” said Clarke upon his return.

Loan fee for Costa revealed

According to wolvesbite.com, Leeds United will pay £2m to Wolves to take Helder Costa on loan for next season. The Portuguese is expected to complete a temporary move to Elland Road soon, and it is understood that a permanent option will be included in the deal.

Whites sign McCarron

Liam McCarron has officially joined Leeds from Carlisle United it was confirmed on Monday. The 18-year-old has penned a three-year contract with the Yorkshire club and will initially link up with U23 squad.

أكد أيمن يونس رئيس اللجنة الفنية بنادي الزمالك، أنه لم يتم الاستقرار على الأسماء التي تردد أنباء عن ترشيحها للجنة، مشيرًا إلى أن الأمور لم تحسم بعد، بالرغم من الإعلان عن القرار عبر قناة “الزمالك” الرسمية.

وقال أيمن في تصريحات تلفزيونية بفضائية “الزمالك”: “لم ننته بشكل نهائي من اللجنة الفنية والقائمة قد تكون أقل أو أزيد، حتى الآن أنا رئيس لجنة الكرة، واعتذار محمد عطية خسارة، لأنه زملكاوي أصيل ويجتهد وكنت أتمنى ان يستمر”.

وأردف: “كلما حاول الناس إزعاجنا نعلم أننا نسير في الاتجاه الصحيح، الزمالك بخير وغني ولن يسقط، القناة تدخل لنا أموال بجانب الإعلانات”.

وتابع: “لا يمكنني إقحام لاعب على الفريق ليس على المستوى الدولي، حاولت قبول أي لاعب ولكن لم أستطع، يصعب على الفريق الذي يضم لاعب بجودة ومستوى طارق حامد ومحمود حمدي الونش وفرجاني ساسي وعبد الله جمعة وأشرف بن شرقي ومصطفى محمد نجم منتخب مصر والذي سنراضيه وسنعطي له قيمته وحقه”.

وواصل: “نحاول حل مشاكل يوسف أوباما، وسنعيد مصطفى فتحي لمستواه مرة أخرى، وعبد الله جمعة أفضل ظهير أيسر في إفريقيا، ولن أضم أي لاعب إلا عندما أضمن أن لاعبي الفريق الحاليين حصلوا على حقهم”.

وأتم: “أتمنى أن تتوحد الجماهير على مساندة الفريق، أول أربع جولات بالنسبة لي هم الدوري، ونحتاج من الجماهير الهدوء وتهتم بتشجيع الزمالك، أما القضايا الفرعية والشائعات والفتن نرد عبر قناة الزمالك”.

واختتم: “الزمالك بخير وقوي ويستطيع أن يجدد لكل اللاعبين وأتمنى الفريق ينافس على إفريقيا والكأس والدوري وهذا لن يعود إلا بمساندة الجماهير مرة أخرى”.
