  Manchester City striker  Erling Haaland  has responded to Liverpool defender  Trent Alexander-Arnold’s  statement that “winning trophies means more” to Liverpool fans. Haaland asserts that Alexander-Arnold does not truly understand the feeling of winning the  Treble . The two rivals are set to face off in the Premier League at Anfield on Sunday, with just one point separating them as we approach the final 11 matches of the season. Tensions have escalated between the clubs after Alexander-Arnold’s interview with FourFourTwo, where he suggested that City’s greater financial resources diminish the significance of their silverware compared to Liverpool’s achievements. However, Haaland, currently the Premier League’s top scorer with 18 goals, has fired back in an exclusive interview with Sky Sports. He reminds Alexander-Arnold of City’s Treble victory last season, emphasizing that he personally experienced the joy of winning it during his first year with the c...

  Spanish prosecutors have  accused   Carlo Ancelotti , the manager of  Real Madrid , of  alleged tax fraud . They claim that Ancelotti created a  “confusing” and “complex” system of shell companies  to conceal additional earnings related to  image rights revenues  during his first tenure at the club in  2014-15 . The charges against him involve  avoiding one million euros (£854,000) in tax . Although Ancelotti declared himself a  tax resident in Spain , he allegedly only reported his  personal remuneration from Real Madrid  in his tax returns. Additionally, he is accused of  simulating the transfer of image rights  to entities with  no real activity  outside of Spain to evade taxes. Ancelotti, a highly successful football manager, has worked with clubs such as  Juventus, Chelsea, AC Milan, Bayern Munich, and Everton . He holds the distinction of being the  only man to have won league tit...

  Al-Nassr, the Saudi Arabian football club, will be without their star player, Cristiano Ronaldo, for an upcoming match. The Portuguese superstar received a suspension from the Disciplinary and Ethics Committee of the Saudi Football Federation due to an offensive gesture he made during Al-Nassr’s recent victory over Al-Shabab. The incident occurred when chants of “Messi” echoed through the stadium, prompting Ronaldo to react toward the opposing supporters. As a consequence of his actions, Ronaldo faces two fines: 10,000 Saudi riyals payable to the Saudi Football Federation and an additional 20,000 riyals to Al-Shabab. His suspension means he will miss Al-Nassr’s next match against Al-Hazm on Thursday. Despite leading the Saudi Pro League in scoring with an impressive 22 goals, Ronaldo’s absence will undoubtedly be felt by Al-Nassr. However, considering that their next opponent is currently at the bottom of the league, the team should be able to navigate the match successfully even...
