    Chelsea’s goal was breached in the 21st minute by Karim Benzema, a moment Neville foresaw when he claimed the West Londoners were struggling to make the most of their possession.
    After the goal went in, he tweeted: “Too late with my tactical advice!
    “That was coming!!!”
    A troll then proceeded to mock Neville’s brief stint as Valencia manager, which lasted a mere four months.

    The Manchester United great responded by informing the troll he got a point against Los Blancos, saying: “Drew 2-2 with Real Madrid.”
    The draw with Real was one of the few highlights of Neville’s reign at the Mestalla, which ended following a run of three wins in 16 matches.
    And Neville – who oversaw a 7-0 battering by Barcelona – admits he wasn’t ready for management when he took the gig.
    During an appearance on The Overlap, Neville said: “Roy [Keane] said before about saying no, and I did say no the first time I was asked.

    He added: “Go over there thinking four or five months.
    “I didn’t think it was gonna be easy, but I just thought I had to basically steer the ship to the end of the season, literally four-five months.
    “And over there I remember looking in the mirror one morning and thinking: ‘I’m struggling.’
    “Didn’t know what to do with the players, was changing systems, all the things that I say on television now you should never do and it was too much.
    “Out of my depth. I needed to get out of there but it was something that I learned a lot from.
    “I wouldn’t do it in the future. I would never do it again.” More

    Another wrote: “Real Madrid players absolutely ate up Reece like a pride of lions to win back possession for the first goal.”

    And of Asensio’s decisive moment, ex-Chelsea manager Hoddle said: “Look at Reece James, he turns his back.
    “The ball is being played, you are down to 10 men. Someone has to switch them on and demanding they are on. They switched off. They were a man down.

    But he could be available on a free transfer in the summer despite penning a deal until 2026 last September.
    Barcelona’s financial issues means Gavi has been stripped of his contract and squad number and re-registered as an academy player on his previous contract.
    And it appears Boehly is trying to take advantage of his contract situation by luring the midfielder to Stamford Bridge.
    Chelsea have reportedly held talks with Gavi’s agent Ivan de la Pena.

    And now Boehly is set to meet with his parents to outline Chelsea’s plans for the 18-year-old and their desire to make him a key part of the team, report AS.
    The Blues hope to pinch Gavi away from the Nou Camp on a free but it is believed the youngster would rather stay at Barca.
    However that could prove impossible if the Blaugrana are unable to cut a significant chunk off their wage bill.
    Chelsea could offer much more than Barca and could hand Gavi a huge signing-on fee.

    Spanish journalist drops huge hint Real Madrid will hire Mauricio Pochettino, in blow to Tottenham and Chelsea

    A SPANISH journalist has delivered a blow to both Chelsea and Tottenham by dropping a huge hint that Mauricio Pochettino The Argentinean manager, 51, is currently out of work having left Paris Saint-Germain last summer.
    A fresh update has hinted that Mauricio Pochettino could be off to Real MadridCredit: PA
    Pochettino is one of Spurs’ most successful and popular managers in recent history – despite failing to win a trophy with the club.
    He averaged 1.89 points per game – the most for any Tottenham boss in Premier League history with a minimum of 38 Premier League games in charge.
    The ex-Southampton chief capped off his five-year stint at White Hart Lane by leading Spurs to the 2019 Champions League final, where they lost to Liverpool.
    But he was sacked just months later following a poor start to the next campaign before eventually taking over at PSG in January 2021, winning the Coupe de France and Ligue 1 prior to his departure.
    READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
    Since Antonio Conte was sacked last month, he has been heavily tipped to make a return to the Tottenham hot-seat at the end of the season.
    And he is also believed to be on Chelsea’s wishlist as they search for a permanent successor to the axed Graham Potter, with Frank Lampard currently in as caretaker for the remainder of the campaign.
    However, reporter Anton Meana has dropped a huge clue as to where his next job will be – and it is in Spain with Real Madrid.
    Current Los Blancos manager Carlo Ancelotti’s future remains unclear despite leading the club to a LaLiga and Champions League double last season.

    The Italian has even been linked with a shock move to take over the Brazilian national team.
    And Meana has now provided an update on his situation to the El Larguero show on Cadena SER, where he hinted Poch could be on his way to the Bernabeu.
    He said: “It would be big news if Ancelotti continued next year and even more so if he doesn’t win the Champions League. He knows that his future is up in the air.
    “I think that if Real Madrid had to choose between [Zinedine] Zidane and Ancelotti, they would choose Zidane.”
    He then added: “Pochettino did not want to coach Chelsea or Tottenham because he has something better and that smells bad to Ancelotti.
    “Ancelotti knows that they are questioning him, and that is why he has opened the door to Brazil.” More

    Laporte, 28, has attracted interest from LaLiga giants Barcelona recently.
    He has only featured 16 times in all competitions this season, with Guardiola preferring Ruben Dias, John Stones, Nathan Ake and Manuel Akanji to the Spanish international.
    Laporte has fuelled his exit talk on Instagram as he posted a video of himself in a car on his story.
    And it was accompanied by a caption hinting at a move.

    He wrote: “After the rain, a rainbow; after a storm, the calm; and after an end, a new beginning.”
    However, a move could prove difficult due to the Catalonian side’s financial difficulties.
    The club have effectively been hit with a transfer ban this summer because of their inability to rein in costs.
    Barca have spent wildly in recent years and tried to balance the books by effectively mortgaging future TV and other incomes by selling off a stake in the club.

    LaLiga chief executive Javier Tebas, speaking at the FT Business of Football summit in London, confirmed in March: “Barcelona doesn’t have any room in its budget to spend in the upcoming transfer window.
    “Barcelona has been involved in questionable behaviour which has had an impact on LaLiga – and we are acting accordingly. We have ruled that they can no longer sign more players.
    “We have strict economic controls. At the end of each window, we tell all the clubs in LaLiga what they can spend.
    “They have to reduce their investment in players and we have encouraged them to sell players because for every amount they raise in sales they can spend 40 per cent of that.”
    This means that if he was to join Barcelona, the club would not be able to register him and he could find himself in footballing limbo. More
