Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has hit back at critics who say everything has gone to s*** at the club.
The Spanish and European champions stuttering season saw them stumble again in LaLiga s title race on Sunday, when they were held to a 2-2 draw by Celta Vigo.
With leaders Barcelona now 16 points ahead of Los Blancos in the table and a daunting Champions League last-16 tie with Paris Saint-Germain to come, pressure on Zidane s position has been mounting despite his success during his two years in charge.
The former France star was also late for a news conference on Tuesday after Madrid training was delayed due to lengthy talks between the coaching staff and players at Valdebebas.
Zidane, however, insists his side will get back on track with collectiv…

Looking to make it back-to-back Serie A victories on Monday night, Inter Milan will travel to the Unipol Domus when they meet Cagliari.
Cagliari
Starting with the hosts, mounting a stellar play-off charge back in June as they punched their Serie A return, Cagliari are desperate to make an early statement this month. Opening up the 2023/24 campaign with a rugged display on the road as they eventually played out a 0-0 stalemate away at Torino, the mood around the Unipol Domus should be at a continued high. Extending on their Coppa Italia adventure on August 12th as they snatched a 2-1 victory at home against Palermo, Claudio Ranieri’s side certainly gained a reputation for their success on home soil last season. In fact, the one-time L…
England s European Championship winning squad has penned an open letter to Conservative MP s Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss, who are seeking the position of prime minister in the United Kingdom.
Sunak and Truss, the last two standing in the battle to become Britain s next leader and successor to Boris Johnson, have been urged by England s Lionesses to increase access to football for young girls across the country.

Aitana Bonmati s similarities to Zinedine Zidane are part of the qualities that should win her the upcoming Ballon d Or, according to former Portugal international Pauleta.
Bonmati s incredible form in the 2022-23 season helped Barcelona to a magnificent treble, recording a competition-leading 12 goal involvements as the Blaugrana claimed Champions League glory, before she also played a major role in Australia and New Zealand as her national team Spain won the Women s World Cup for the first time.
Bonmati was given the Golden Ball as the tournament s best player, and the midfielder is the favourite to collect more individual silverware in the near future having been named among the nominees to pick up the Ballon d Or, the winner of which will be announced at a ceremony i…

Mikel Arteta did not view Pep Guardiola s touchline ban as an excuse for Manchester City s listless 2-1 Champions League defeat to Lyon and he was not about to cite chucks of empty seats at the Etihad Stadium as a factor.
Nevertheless, it was hard not to detect a hint of weariness over the situation being familiar. City were some bookmakers favourites for a tournament their fans struggle to view with similar enthusiasm.
We had this type of crowd in the Champions League before and we were able to win the game, first-team coach Arteta told a news conference after 40,111 attended the match at a 55,000 capacity stadium.
The ideal scenario is to have a full stadium every time and have people supporting the team like crazy. Some weeks that doesn t happen but I don …
Girona head coach Michel has called for patience following his side s lacklustre start to the LaLiga season ahead of their meeting with Osasuna on Thursday.
Michel led the Catalan side to a third place finish in the division last year, but they have taken one point from their first two games, including a 3-0 loss to Atletico Madrid last time out.
Antoine Griezmann, Marcos Llorente and Koke s strikes inflicted Girona s heaviest defeat since a 4-0 defeat to Real Madrid back in February.
But Michel is unconcerned by his team s recent results, however, he acknowledged that his players are far from where they want to be in their preparations.
I look at the process, the performance, not the results, Michel said. I think we re far from our best, but I m con…
