      Man Utd loanee Anthony Martial suffers frustrating Sevilla debut and gets subbed off on first start for FOUR MONTHS

      by

      ANTHONY MARTIAL suffered a frustrating debut for Sevilla at Osasuna following his loan move from Manchester United.The French striker had a public fall-out with Red Devils boss Ralf Rangnick last month after claims he refused to be a sub against Aston Villa.

      The 26-year-old denied those allegations on social media and eventually forced through his switch to the LaLiga side.
      Martial will have been hoping to hit the ground running for his new side last night as they looked to close the gap on leaders Real Madrid.
      However, both he and his team-mates endured a difficult evening as Sevilla blew the chance of victory by missing a stoppage-time penalty.
      Martial was handed his first start for FOUR MONTHS but looked rusty throughout before he was taken off with 14 minutes left to play.
      The second-placed side failed to break their tough opponents, with Youssef En-Nesyri creating their best opening until the final seconds.
      But he fired straight into the arms of goalkeeper Sergio Herrera.

      Sevilla’s big moment then arrived in additional time – only for Ivan Rakitic to squander the golden opportunity from 12 yards.
      The result left them three points behind Madrid, who have a game in hand.
      Martial, who failed to make an impact throughout his bow, will be hoping for better luck on his home debut.

      The former Gunners captain was raring to go but admitted his only issue at Arsenal was boss Mikel Arteta.
      He commented: “I think it was only with him and then he took this decision. He wasn’t happy and that’s it. I was calm.”
      Barca have underachieved this year and currently sit in fifth position in La Liga.
      But Atletico are having a wretched season themselves as they sit fourteen points behind league leaders Real Madrid, as well as Sevilla and Real Betis.
      Diego Simeone’s side are currently in fourth place, just a point ahead of Barca.

      Lionel Messi’s top six GREATEST goals including stunning free-kick vs Liverpool and epic Bilbao solo effort

      by

      Lionel Messi is the world’s greatest player, after being crowned the Ballon D’or winner for 2021.The shouts for him being the greatest of all time are growing louder, and it comes as no surprise that devising a top six out of 758 goals is tough.

      Messi’s time at Barcelona saw him play his part in some sensational team goals, with assistance coming from greats such as Ronaldinho, Luis Suarez, Neymar JR, Xavi, Iniesta and more.
      The greatest of all time has scored some wonderful goals in his time, most of them coming for Barcelona, as he has yet to really hit his stride at PSG under Mauricio Pochettino, despite scoring a glorious long range effort against Manchester City in the Champions League.
      We have narrowed down 17 years of greatness thus far into just SIX goals.
      Check out our six favourites below…

      6) Messi vs ARSENAL
      Barcelona 3-1 Arsenal – March 8, 2011

      Barcelona were losing two goals to one when they turned up for the second leg at the Camp Nou in 2011, but the mini magician had a trick up his sleeve with a delicate strike at home to forge a comeback for the Blaugrana.
      In typical Messi fashion, he picked up the ball inside the box after a defence splitting pass from fellow wizard, Andres Iniesta.
      From here the Argentine seemed to just slow down time, and use three touches to dismantle the gunners. One to control the ball, another to lift it over the keeper, and a final touch to smash it into the net for good measure. This was Lionel Messi at his finest, and further goals from him and Xavi ensured Arsenal were knocked out of the competition.
      This one just crept into our top six, which really is testament to just how good the rest of the goals in this list are.
      5) Messi vs LIVERPOOL
      Barcelona 3-0 Liverpool – May 1, 2019

      It comes as no surprise that the Messiah has some wonderful set-piece goals in his locker, alongside all those team goals and solo efforts, but this free kick in particular was special.
      Another Champions league delight served up by the left peg of Lionel Andres Messi, the Barcelona star stepped up to the plate 35 yards out and delivered a first class strike into the top left corner against Allison – postage stamp stuff.
      Whilst it won Barcelona the game, as part of a 3-0 victory, it was Divock Origi who stole the headlines after a ‘Corner taken quickly…’ by Trent Alexander Arnold.
      Nonetheless, this is one of the finest free-kicks that the Champions League has ever seen, and therefore earns its spot in this list.
      4) Messi vs BETIS
      Real Betis 1-4 Barcelona – March 17, 2019

      As Alan Smith once said “That’s why they call him fishy, because he loves the chips!”
      La Pulga picked up the ball on the left side of the box and played a neat one two with Sergio Busquets. Upon receiving the ball back, he takes a slight glance up and eloquently dinks the ball towards the Betis keeper.
      The keeper thinks it is going over, but Leo appears to bend it with his mind and move it to just hit the crossbar and cross the line, leaving Pau Lopez in goal in disbelief, as Messi wheeled off and his teammates stood with their hands on their heads.
      This is one of a host of Messi’s great chips, he really was the master of this technical skill that can often leave players looking so silly. We wonder if there will ever be another as good as him at it.
      3) Messi vs BAYERN
      Barcelona 3-0 Bayern Munich – May 6, 2015
      A picture speaks a thousand words…Credit: AFP
      A picture speaks a thousand words with this one. A thousand words of the greatness of Lionel Messi.
      Our top three is where we are really witnessing iconic, astounding goals. Lets be honest, we all knew this was gonna be in the top three.
      For this edition of Lionel Messi: From Barca With Love, we saw him receive the ball on the right hand side from Croatian accomplice Ivan Rakitic.
      He baits in Jerome Boateng, and effectively forced him into an early retirement when he sits him on the ground and chips the ball over Manuel Neuer with ease. He really does make it look easy, but these Bayern defenders at the time were the best in the business.
      Bayern were no match that day for the greatest to ever do it, and this goal will go down in Champions League folklore.
      2) Messi vs ATHLETIC CLUB
      Athletic Club 1-3 Barcelona – May 30, 2015

      Athletic club will have been dreading facing Lionel Messi in 2015, which was probably his second best year after the record breaking year in 2012.
      And rightly so, the Barcelona star boy was red hot in the Copa Del Ray final of that year, as he absolutely destroyed them, with two goals in a 3-1 win.
      Messi receives a pass from Dani Alves near the intersection of the right hand side-line and the halfway line. He then faces up to the Athletic Club left winger, and beats him with ease, progressing down the right side at pace.
      He then stops. This is when the fun begins. It’s hammer time.
      He shifts left and beats the full back, before tapping it past the left winger again, and sends a central midfielder spiralling with his dazzling footwork. Another centre back to beat? No problem, mate. He sends the left centre back right, and goes left, before fizzing a shot in at the near post.
      Show this to your children, this is peak Lionel Messi, the GOAT.
      1) Messi vs GETAFE
      Barcelona 5-2 Getafe CF – April 18, 2007

      Here we are, Number One.
      Picture the scene. It’s 2007, the first iPhone has just been announced and Irreplaceable by Beyoncé is top of the charts – exactly what Leo was to Barca.
      In the Copa Del Ray semi final, Messi really lit up world football.
      This goal was voted Barcelona’s greatest goal of all time, and they are one of the greatest clubs of all time – so it really needs no introduction.
      If you ever need proof that you can in fact hear a picture, show the one above to a Barcelona fan and you will be met with ‘Ankara Messi, Ankara Messi, Ankara Messi.’ – the famous commentary that went alongside this masterpiece.
      Leo nutmegs two Getafe players before he even reaches the halfway line, and sets driving away with the raw pace and ability that has not been seen since in a 19 year old. He cuts left and leaves one defender looking like he is on a slip ‘n’ slide, before dipping right and sending another defender for a hot dog.
      He then breaks into the box and has the elite composure, that is rarely seen of a seasoned pro, to go around the goalkeeper and slot it over the top of yet ANOTHER sliding defender.
      This is football heritage. This is Lionel Messi.

      ‘Never surrender’ – Sevilla targeting first LaLiga title since 1946 with Anthony Martial transfer statement of intent

      by

      SEVILLA are really living up to their club motto “Never Surrender” this season.The Spanish side, who recently signed Anthony Martial from Manchester United, sit just four points behind La Liga leaders Real Madrid and are on the hunt for their first title since 1946.

      Sevilla have won a record six Europa Leagues so are no strangers to success in that arena.
      But with ten points separating themselves and defending champions Atletico Madrid in fourth, there is a belief that with Julen Lopetegui at the helm, the current squad can smash through their glass ceiling. 
      The club’s general business manager Jorge Paradela said: “This is a club who have become top ten in UEFA rankings. 
      “We are a club who challenge the status quo. 
      “This is a team who never surrenders and a team who encourages our fans to aim at the highest goals and break barriers.
      “We have demonstrated we can achieve more with less.”

      And they definitely have done more with less this year with last season’s top scorer Youssef En-Nesyri ruled out since September and the squad being decimated by injuries and Covid. 
      Only crisis-club Barcelona have used more than Sevilla’s 31 players in La Liga this season. 
      But that has not stopped them from keeping pace with galacticos Madrid. 
      It is important that we show to the world that Seville is here and they have to come with us Ivan Rakitic
      Their defensive record of 16 goals conceded from 22 games is only bettered by Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in Europe’s top five leagues. 
      Top clubs have usually snapped up Sevilla’s top players with the likes of Dani Alves and Ivan Rakitic going to Barca or Jesus Navas or Alvaro Negrado joining Manchester City. 
      But football director Monchi has recently developed a stubbornness in the transfer window after rebuffing Chelsea’s £50million bid for Jules Kounde last summer and more recently not allowing Diego Carlos to join Saudi-rich Newcastle. 
      And the signing of Martial on loan for the rest of the season is a statement of their intent. 
      Director of football Monchi is responsible for all transfers at the club

      Monchi revealed: “We haven’t changed our policy 
      “Sevilla cannot change the way it works. The reason why players have not left is because they are at the right level in the squad. 
      “Kounde, one of the best defenders in European football, the fact he plays for us speaks for itself.” 
      Club captain Ratikic, who returned to the city after six years at Barca, says he was surprised with how much Sevilla improved during his time away. 
      The Croatian midfielder said: “When I came back here I was really surprised at what the club did in the last years. 
      “There are even more possibilities to go even bigger. 
      “Players the club can sign are now different from seven or eight years ago. Big players now want to be a part of us. 
      “The signing of Martial is there to show to the football world that Seville is going in the right way. 
      “It is important that we show to the world that Seville is here and they have to come with us.”

      And he has not had to wait long for a new employer as Barcelona swooped.
      The Catalans are due to confirm his arrival today after the North London club opted to save themselves around £15m in wages.
      Aubamayeng, who was earning around £350,000-a-week at the Emirates, has used the fortune he has amassed from playing the beautiful game to splash out on an impressive car collection.
      And he previously showed off five of his stunning fleet – which have been wrapped in silver, gold… and just about every colour of the rainbow on Instagram.
      Auba had four Lamborghinis – two Urus 4x4s, an Aventador and his beloved Huracan Spyder – and his stunning LaFerrari parked on his front drive.
      He has previously had his £270k Lamborghini Aventador, £150k Range Rover Sport and £140k Lamborghini Urus wrapped in gold at Yiannimize.

      But the former Borussia Dortmund star decided to take his modification to the next level when he booked in his gorgeous LaFerrari – but was criticised for “ruining” the exclusive supercar.
      Four of the five finishes on display were done by celebrity car customiser Yianni Charalambous with the final one done by MS Motors in France.
      Yianni wrote: “Car game on point. Completed it! The main man @aubameyang97 Garage goals say no more!”
      But as well as the five on Instagram, Aubameyang has plenty more cars in his garage with at least a dozen in total – including a sleek white Bentley Bentayga, which starts at £133,000.
      The full list also features another three Ferraris in the form of his £250k 812 Superfast, £205k Spyder and £200k 458 Italia.
      And the collection boasts a Porsche Panamera Turbo Techart (£140k), the aforementioned Range Rover Sport Mansory (£150k), an Audi R8 V10 worth £160k and a stunning Aston Martin DB9 Volante 2, which costs around £250k.
      Brilliantly, Auba was also once spotted driving around in a Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet, costing a very modest £22,000.
      Speaking about his love of cars, the Gunners front man said: “The clothes, the cars and all that are a bonus. I enjoy living this way.
      “I like who I am and it doesn’t matter if other people can’t ­accept that – it goes over my head.
      “As they say ‘you only live once’. It’s important to know where you come from and where your roots are – the rest is a big bonus.” More

      Barcelona and Juventus offer to take exiled Aubameyang off Arsenal’s hands until end of season on loan transfer

      by

      BARCELONA and Juventus have both made loan transfer offers for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, according to reports.The former Arsenal captain has been exiled by Mikel Arteta following his latest disciplinary issue, returning late visiting his mother in France, but that has not put off the two giant clubs.

      His last appearance was as a late substitute at Everton on December 6.
      After returning from the Africa Cup of Nations early after a heart scare, Aubameyang has trained alone – but now may have got a lifeline.
      According to The Athletic, the two European powerhouses have submitted formal approaches to sign the 32-year-old until the end of the season.
      The January transfer window closes for Barca in Spain at 11pm UK time on Monday night.
      For Juve in Italy, it is four hours earlier at 7pm UK time.
      Aubameyang looks set to remain frozen out in North London as they look to ship him out with 18 months left to run on his current contract – and Arsenal must decide if his relationship with Arteta is beyond repair.

      There was a loan bid from Saudi Arabian rivals Al Nassr and Al Hilal last week with an £8million obligation to buy him in the summer.
      But it is understood the Gabon international would prefer to stay competing at the top level in Europe – as Paris Saint-Germain considered an offer.
      Barcelona and Juventus certainly fit the bill for Auba.
      They both want reinforcements in attack, especially after the Old Lady lost Federico Chiesa for the remainder of the campaign through a cruel ACL injury.
      Alvaro Morata’s future could play a significant role in where Aubameyang ends up this week, though.
      If he stays on loan at Juventus, the Nou Camp would be the more likely destination.
      But if the ex-Chelsea striker gets recalled by Atletico Madrid and joins Barcelona, Auba may go to Juventus.
      That is even if they finalise their transfer for Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic, with Max Allegri wanting to use both new signings alongside Paulo Dybala in attack.
      Aubameyang’s wages do not look likely to cause any problems with both clubs indicating that they are willing to pay the bulk of Aubameyang’s £350,000-a-week basic salary.
      Arsenal’s other two strikers Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah are both struggling for goals and out of contract at the end of this season.

      Now Arsenal are frantically scrambling to come up with a top-class alternative, with Real Sociedad’s Alexander Isak and Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin both under consideration.
      But neither player is expected to be available this month so allowing Aubameyang to leave without securing a replacement goalscorer would be a massive gamble.
      Arsenal are already down to just 21 senior players after allowing Calum Chambers, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Pablo Mari, Sead Kolasinac and Folarin Balogun to leave this month.

      To welcome Martial to Seville, the club got one of his icons to welcome him to LaLiga.
      An emotional Martial watched on as the sincere message was played on the big screen at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.
      Ronaldo – who owns second-tier Real Valladolid – said: “Hi Martial, how are you? Welcome to LaLiga and Sevilla! This is a big club in Spain and a big club in Europe.
      “They have incredible fans and play in a fantastic city. So I wish you all the best, and hopefully I’ll see you soon. Big hug, best of luck.”
      Despite just touching down in the country, Martial is already thinking about extending his stay in Spain beyond this season.
      He said: “My loan move to Sevilla is valid for next five months, end of the season… but you never know what happens in the future. We’ll see”.

      Martial has already set his sights on helping Sevilla win a seventh Europa League trophy.
      The final, of course, will be played in their stadium which is even more motivation to reach the final.
      He added: “I wanted to come so I could play and show what I can do in the team.
      “In the last few months I have been training a lot. I hope to be able to train soon with my teammates and work well with them to fight for the competitions we’re still in.
      “I’m ready to play. I trained hard to be ready and if the coach wants me to play, I’ll do it now.”
      The 26-year-old concluded saying: “Winning a seventh Europa League is a big aim. Also, the final is here so we’ll do everything possible to win the cup.
      “My aim is to play, help the team and that means enjoying myself on the pitch, and scoring and assisting. That’s the aim for me these next few months.”

      Arsenal line up loan deal for Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic as £50m target Dusan Vlahovic prefers Juventus transfer

      by

      ARSENAL could seek a short-term loan for Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic if they cannot persuade Dusan Vlahovic to join them this month.Mikel Arteta is desperate to bring in another striker before the transfer window closes next Monday.

      But hopes of signing Fiorentina star Vlahovic are looking increasingly remote in spite of repeated attempts to secure a deal.
      And now they are considering a last-ditch move for Vlahovic’s Serbian international striker partner Jovic.
      Fiorentina are ready to cash in on their 21-year-old superstar, with Arsenal indicating that they are willing to pay £50million plus on-loan Lucas Torreira to get the deal over the line.
      But the Serie A club believe that Vlahovic has set his heart on a move to Juventus and could even stick in Florence for the next 18 months before leaving as a free agent.
      Fiorentina sporting director Joe Barone admitted: “We’re open to negotiate but we want Vlahovic and his agent to be clear on the future and they’re not answering.”
      And with time rapidly running out to bolster their flagging forward line, Arsenal are now beginning to look around for alternative strikers.

      Real Socidead’s Alexander Isak is one potential option, although there might not be enough time to thrash out a deal for the Swedish international who is thought to be valued at £75m.
      But they have been told by Real Madrid that Jovic could become available on loan to help Arsenal through their short-term crisis.
      The two clubs have a good relationship after Arsenal loaned Dani Ceballos and Martin Odegaard from the Bernabeu in the past.
      And 24-year-old Jovic, who cost £50m when he moved to Spain from Benfica in 2019, is believed to be eager to prove himself in England.
      The ex-Red Star Belgrade youngster has managed just one goal in 15 appearances this season – compared to Vlahovic who has 20 in 24.
      Arteta was adamant at the weekend that he is not interested in signing a striker just for the sake of it and said: “Any player that comes in must be able to take us to the next level.
      “We want much better standards than we already have.”
