Real Madrid View €18M-Rated AC Milan Standout as Plan B to Liverpool, PSG Transfer Target

Paris Saint-Germain had its eye on Dean Huijsen last summer as part of a defensive overhaul, but the Spanish center-back ended up joining AFC Bournemouth instead. If PSG revisits its interest, it won’t be alone in the race.

Even after signing Willian Pacho, PSG could still be in the market for another center-back, especially with Milan Skriniar expected to make his loan move to Fenerbahçe permanent.

The two Americans were on our list five years ago but their paths show the professional game is rarely straightforward

Career paths are rarely straightforward, whether in football or any other area of life. Circumstances often change. Injuries and illnesses happen, there are often changes in leadership which have an impact on the individual while personal lives also play a part.

Career paths are therefore very difficult to predict. Looking down the list of our 2019 Next Generation, which we have now followed for five years, there were no guarantees any of the players would become household names. OK, Alex Holiga, who covers the Balkans for us, was confident that Josko Gvardiol would make it big – which he has – but apart from him, and perhaps Ansu Fati, Eduardo Camavinga and Jérémy Doku, there were no certainties.

Lauren James and Mayra Ramírez shine in a convincing Chelsea display but bigger tests lie ahead

Do Chelsea get it done? You might as well ask in what direction the apple falls from the tree. There is an inevitability to them here, an infallible logic to their challenges and their combinations and their fighting and their running, a sense that the natural order of the universe is simply reasserting itself.

As it turned out the last half-hour at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday was a kind of omen, a trailer for the feature presentation. Here the intensity so lacking in the first leg in Manchester was there from the start. By half-time City are red-faced, not out of embarrassment  but exhaustion, as if not just the energy but the simple resolve has been drained from them....

Talismanic strikers hold the key as teams seek a place at Wembley in the most open FA Cup race for years

For seven of the eight clubs left in the competition, this year’s FA Cup represents a historic opportunity. Four of the quarter-finalists – Fulham, Crystal Palace, Bournemouth and Brighton – have never won the Cup, while Nottingham Forest (1959), Aston Villa (1957) and Preston (1938) last lifted the trophy before the advent of colour television. With the international break ending and midweek league fixtures coming for every team, there will be a temptation to rotate starters and rest tired legs.

Sonia Bompastor channelled compatriot Édith Piaf, saying she wanted her players “to have no regrets” come the final whistle of their Champions League quarter-final against Manchester City, and three first-half goals and a relentless performance overturned the two-goal deficit from the first leg.

We have been waiting for Chelsea to move into fifth gear, for a display across 90 minutes reflective of their dominance in all competitions and the talent in the squad, and here Bompastor’s side delivered the gear change when it mattered most. Goals from Sandy Baltimore, Nathalie Björn and Mayra Ramírez saw off City in style to set up a mouthwatering semi-final against the Champions League holders, Barcelona, who earlier dispatched Wolfsburg 10-2 on aggregate.
