TER STEGEN PRAISED FOR BILBAO PERFORMANCE

Barcelona top choice keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen has received commendation for his recent efforts at the club. He is usually praised for his footwork but his performance as a shot stopper was obvious when the Blaugrana played Athletic Bilbao.

Barca defeated Bilbao 2-0, with the clean sheet courtesy of a brilliant display by the German. About 17 shots were sent his way but Ter Stegen remained solid in the game played at the San Mames stadium. The keeper stopped Bilbao star Aritz Aduriz four times from getting a goal. Aduriz sent a tricky header in the 17th minute but Ter Stegen handled it. Minutes later a chipped pass beat the defence but Ter Stegen was on hand to deny the striker again.

Neymar reveals one reason for his departure from Barcelona

During the 2017 edition of the summer transfer window, there were many players making their way out of clubs and joining others but without any doubt, the transfer that received the most attention and was a surprise to many people was Neymar’s move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain for a transfer fee of €222 million.


This is the biggest amount of money that any club has ever splashed out to sign any footballer but PSG did it in order to lure the 25 year old Brazilian player.

 

Neymar spent 4 seasons in Camp Nou performing for Barcelona and during this period of time, he was able to lift the Spanish League twice, the Copa del Rey on 3 occasions and the UEFA Champions League just to name a few of the more renowned pieces of silverware.

The Brazilian player formed one of the best attacking combinations in the history of football as he played alongside Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi which was a nightmare for defences.

WHY WOULD NEYMAR LEAVE BARCELONA?

This is a huge question that only the player or those really close to him can answer.


Why would Neymar leave the successful Barcelona team where he is celebrated and well paid? After their 4-0 defeat in the first leg in the hands of Paris St Germain, many thought the Spanish side would be knocked out. However, Neymar almost singlehandedly restored parity before Barca pulled the greatest comeback ever in European football.

Neymar grabbed a brace and one assist in seven minutes to put the Blaugrana on a sound footing to move past the French soccer giants.Lionel Messi scored a penalty that Neymar was fouled for before the team tipped the game in their favour. Neymar was praised as much as many other members in the team like Luis Suarez. However, Messi was named the hero of the night. It is obvious that Neymar needed his own turf, where he could run riot and his praises be sung.

MOURINHO QUIET ON GRIEZMANN MOVE

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho seems to have quieted on the purported move of Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann.


The striker was a reported top target for Mourinho considering that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is out injured and developmental projects in Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford were not yet suitable for the role solely.

Mourinho avoided being drawn into the issue as the team cruised to the Europa League title after defeating Ajax. Griezmann earlier has odds of 6/10 at moving to Old Trafford this summer but everything seems to have suddenly cooled down. Atletico’s appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) against a FIFA-sanctioned transfer ban is believed to play a part.

“I do not want to talk about Griezmann because that would be disrespectful to his club, Atletico. Just how I do not like others talking about my players, I’m not going to talk about Antoine either,” Mourinho fired when asked about the French star.

Isco blasts the media for the Barcelona rumor

In this season of the Spanish League La Liga, Real Madrid’s Isco has seen less time on the pitch with the first team than some seasons before.


The head coach of Real Madrid ZinedineZidane has turned Isco into an off and on player instead of the regular starter that he used to be.

This sudden lack of playing time is one of the things that has sparked an ongoing rumor involving Isco and a potential transfer to Barcelona which is a far-fetched rumor to believe in the first place to believe as why would Real Madrid sell one of their highest-rated young talents to their rivals?

The rumors have been spread so much that Isco has recently had to come out and shut down all of those claims as the 24 year old midfielder said: “We are exposed to this all the time, to everything, rumors and all, so we’re used to it. Now that there’s little football going on people have to make rumors up, I don’t know why. I only talk on the field and I try to do my best for the team.
