  • Premier League all sewn up? This is where to look for drama in the coming weeks...

    5 days ago | nytimes.com | Jack Lang

    You see the bus at the stop. It's just over there. You can obviously make it. You quicken your step. As you do, you hear the engine start. The doors fold closed. You could sprint for it - you're fast enough - but the idea is unappealing. The sweat, sure, but also just the indignity of it. You don't need this bus. There will be others. The doors reopen. Someone else is now getting on. It's extremely makeable now, you could probably just jog. But something stops you.

  • How Raphinha became a world-beater for Barcelona – and how he compares to their Brazilian greats

    Share At the end of the 2023-24 season, Raphinha got out his whiteboard and a coloured marker pen.There was plenty to reflect upon. It had been a poor campaign for Barcelona: political and financial turmoil, a sense of drift on the pitch, no trophies. Nor was there much to celebrate on an individual level. He had shown glimpses of quality, but his manager, Xavi, did not view him as a central figure.

    At the end of the 2023-24 season, Raphinha got out his whiteboard and a coloured marker pen. There was plenty to reflect upon. It had been a poor campaign for Barcelona: political and financial turmoil, a sense of drift on the pitch, no trophies. Nor was there much to celebrate on an individual level. He had shown glimpses of quality, but his manager, Xavi, did not view him as a central figure. Raphinha completed 90 minutes on just six occasions all season.

  • Barcelona 4 Borussia Dortmund 0

    Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Lamine Yamal tore through Borussia Dortmund to help Barcelona take a 4-0 goal lead into the second leg of this Champions League quarter-final. Raphinha scored from on the goal-line to put Hansi Flick's side ahead, and Lewandowski scored from about 30cm out to double their lead after being set up by Raphinha.

  • Arsenal 3 Real Madrid 0

    2 weeks ago | nytimes.com | Jordan Campbell |Jack Lang |Mark Carey

    Declan Rice stunned Real Madrid with two brilliant free-kicks to help Arsenal to a commanding 3-0 win in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie. Rice stepped up in the 58th minute to whip a fine set-piece past Thibaut Courtois that bent remarkably wide of the goal before curling back in. Then 12 minutes later he fired another into the top corner to put Mikel Arteta's men in full control ahead of the return game at the Bernabeu next Wednesday.
