13. Having bet it all on that odd, prime number, Real Madrid's season has come down to today's game in Kiev: the final of the Champions League...

Only two coach's have won three European Cup/Champions League titles: Bob Paisley and Carlo Ancelotti with only Paisley claiming his triumphs with the same club, Liverpool FC.

It's strange to see Klopp single out Marcelo as Real Madrid's weakness in defence. It's not exactly a revelation, as those who watch Madrid regularly will know that the Brazilian is excellent going forward

Fifa's late procedural change has built a figurative wall which could scupper the Moroccan plan to host the 2026 World Cup in favour of the USA-Canada-Mexico bid.

Real Madrid turned out in Vila-Real with a side that hinted towards Kiev except between the sticks, where Zinedine Zidane elected to play his son Luca...

As I’m sure we’re all aware, we’ll have VAR at this summer’s World Cup finals then following that in LaLiga

Champions! Atlético Madrid held aloft a hard-earned Europa League trophy to take them back to the centre stage of European football.

The final is upon us, a day full of emotion. Griezmann, whether he stays or goes, these are his days, this is his game, this is his land.

The Spanish Footballers' Association (AFE) held a clearly evocative assembly yesterday, one that moves the Tebas-Rubiales war to new grounds.

The Levante squad rightly entitled themselves to a lap of honour at the Ciutat de Valencia stadium last night, greeting their supporters after achieving what no other team has managed to do in the current league campaign beating FC Barcelona

A combination of results –the 2-2 draw in the Seville derby coupled with Atlético’s 0-1 win away at Getafe, cleared up the final mystery left to ...

These must be a cracking few days to be down in Seville. If we're being honest, any time is a good time to be in the Andalusian capital but, right now, that's surely doubly the case...

Last night Neymar Jr was back with his PSG side as they lifted the French Cup at the Stade de France.

The picture of Sergio Ramos posing with a signed Iniesta shirt after El Clásico has redeemed my view ever so slightly after the intensity of some of the play we witnessed on Sunday night.

So a decaffeinated El Clásico they claimed! In truth what we got was a bustling game played at a high pace and with tension in abundance which threw up four goals and plenty of talking points.

Relatively speaking, this latest edition of El Clásico feels a bit like a non-event, stifled by the events of the past few days

We have a Madrid team in the Champions League final and another one in the Europa League final – that’s something we can feel very happy ...

The Atletco Madrid players hugged as the Arsenal team fell to the floor with all 22 men exhausted, the side in red and white elated with the outfit from North London shattered.

So Liverpool will face Real Madrid in Kiev but were made to sweat for their passage to the final in Rome.
