Janina Minge really had to get into goal for like 10 minutes while still being 1 goal down 💀

Karólína Lea Vilhjálmsdóttir has just produced a sensational free-kick for Inter. Unfortunately, it’s probably come too late for Inter to pull off the comeback.

I hope that the artist, Louise Cobbold and @IpswichTown sue the living shit out of Reform UK for this. Utterly shameful. I bet the club are seriously ruing the day they let that conman through their gates. Original image that Farage has plagiarised. 👇

Meanwhile of course it’s possible to have 90% of your output be transphobic drivel and get shortlisted for Columnist of the Year lol So a great day for all the worst people in sports media for sure

🚨 BONUS POD 🚨 @SullyBen & Harry Gillies discuss the recent news from LaLiga and focus on the Spanish national team in our latest pod, including: 🔸 Griezmann’s MLS move 🔸 Sevilla’s managerial change 🔸 & Spain’s goalkeeper conundrum 🔗 lllonline.substack.com/p/griezmanns-b… #LLL 🧡🇪🇸⚽️

Really wish Real Madrid took their women's team more seriously man. If that El Clasico actually became competitive, it could do so much for women's football 😔 #Uwcl

Actually think that's a harsh penalty

Real Madrid approach these Clásicos like they are equals with Barça in terms of quality. They try to press high and are wide open in midfield. Rather than being compact and accepting the role of underdogs, they go toe-to-toe with one of the best teams on the planet #UWCL

That was so poorly defended by Real Madrid. You cannot allow any team to just pass through the middle of your defence, never mind a team as good as Barça #UWCL

Misa has to get that further away from danger. The worst possible start for Real Madrid #UWCL

That is ridiculous strike from James. No backlift and she’s still produced the accuracy and power to stick it into the top corner #UWCL

Not sure why that Chelsea goal was disallowed. Seemed like Codina went to ground once she knew it was in #UWCL

VfL Wolfsburg stun OL Lyonnes with a narrow advantage in the quarter-final tie of the UEFA Women’s Champions League. ⬇️ bulinews.com/uefa-women-cha…

Very impressive win for Wolfsburg. I still fancy Lyon to turn it around in France, but they at least Wolfsburg have something to work with #UWCL

Who was left out of the recent Spain squad? 🤔 Injury crises and fitness issues have forced a shakeup in the de la Fuente’s squad, but some previous performers and in-form talents have also been left out 👀 Find out who they are in our new piece 👇 #LLL 🧡🇪🇸⚽️

You can tell Spurs aren’t used to being in a relegation battle because there is no way that Redknapp and Sherwood should be in the conversation. They are not going to keep you up just because they ‘know the club’

Communiqué du Racing Club de Lens Le 6 mars dernier, la programmation de la rencontre opposant le Racing Club de Lens au Paris Saint-Germain a été arrêtée, officialisant un cadre auquel chacun était alors convié à se conformer. Dans un esprit de responsabilité et de mesure, le Racing Club de Lens a, dès les premières sollicitations, fait connaître au Paris Saint-Germain son intention de ne pas voir cette date modifiée. Fidèle à une certaine idée de la stabilité sportive, le club avait également choisi de s’astreindre à toute communication publique sur ce sujet. Cependant, la multiplication récente de prises de parole, d’interventions et de suggestions diverses nous conduit aujourd’hui à sortir de cette réserve. Il nous apparaît en effet qu’un sentiment préoccupant tend à s’installer : celui d’un championnat de France progressivement relégué au rang de variable d’ajustement au gré des impératifs européens de certains. Une conception singulière de l’équité sportive, dont on peine à trouver l’équivalent dans les autres grandes compétitions continentales. Modifier aujourd’hui la date de cette rencontre reviendrait, pour le Racing Club de Lens, à être privé de compétition pendant 15 jours puis enchainer des matchs tous les trois jours — un rythme qui ne correspond ni à celui défini en début de championnat, ni aux moyens d’un club qui pourrait absorber sans conséquence ce type de contraintes nouvelles. Il serait donc entendu que le dixième budget du championnat devrait s’adapter aux exigences des plus puissants, au nom d’intérêts qui, manifestement, dépasseraient désormais le cadre domestique, lequel a déjà été allégé ces dernières saisons (L1 à 18 clubs, arrêt de la Coupe de la Ligue). Au-delà de ce cas particulier, la question posée est plus essentielle : celle du respect dû à la compétition elle-même. Car il est permis de s’interroger lorsque, sur son propre sol, le championnat semble parfois relégué derrière d’autres ambitions, aussi légitimes soient-elles. Le Racing Club de Lens demeure attaché à l’équité, à la clarté des règles et au respect de tous les acteurs. Des principes simples, pour un football français loyal et respecté.

Feels like a case of Tuchel sending a message to Trent because I do not see the logic in picking White ahead of him.

We could see Mayra Ramírez and Alba Redondo playing in the same team again. Welcome back 2022/23 Levante
