MADRID MOVE! When Real Madrid knock, it’s a different knock! The record Champions League winners are building a squad of Galacticos, and TAA would fit in perfectly – especially as Los Blancos’ club legend RB Dani Carvajal is now 33 years old and has been out all season with a knee injury! LIVERPOOL LEGEND! Even though Reds supporters are finding the news hard to swallow, they can’t deny that their academy ace has given them some great moments! He’s also the youngest-ever Liverpool player to make 250 Premier League appearances and is the defender with the most assists in the competition’s history! JUDE LINK-UP! It’s no secret that Trent’s best mate at England camps is Jude Bellingham – apparently they can barely be separated – so getting the chance to…

WHO WILL WINLALIGA? Spain’s title race has been sick this season, with the traditional three Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid all competing for glory! Atleti were the first team to drop out, so were basically now just counting down to the final El Clasico of the season, which happens in early May… VERDICT We’ve done the math and we reckon Barcelona will finish four points above rivals Real Madrid, with Atleti another three points below their capital city rivals. It’s Barca’s ability to bust net that gives them the edge this season, plus they have a better head-to-head record v Carlo Ancelotti’s side! WHO WILL WIN SERIE A? Italy s top flight is another of the European leagues to offer a genuine title race! Antonio Conte’s Napoli appeared to…

Is a who w much it meant to the Chelsea girls to beat Barcelona in Barcelona. Those things add to the experience of what you need to win the Champions League!” CHELSEA’S CL AIM! BRONZE SAYS: “Chelsea have already got that winning mentality, but sometimes it’s not just talent that you need. Those last bits – the know how of winning, being ready and focused, having clear minds – Sonia Bompastor and myself can add it and push this team over the line!” CHAMPO LEAGUE DREAM! BRONZE SAYS: “Winning the Champions League with an English team has always been my dream! I won…

WHO WILL FINISH IN THE TOP THREE? In the Women’s Super League, the winners get direct access to the following year’s Champions League, while second and third enter the qualifiers. Table toppers Chelsea should have nothing to worry about, but rivals Arsenal and Man. United will have one eye looking over their shoulders at Man. City! VERDICT Last season’s runners-up City have given themselves loads of work to do to finish in the top three! However, three of United’s last four WSL games are against Arsenal, Chelsea and City themselves, so it’s actually not impossible that they could catch their rivals. We don’t reckon they will, though! WHO WILL BEAT THE DROP? It looks like being a straight shootout between Crystal Palace and surprise strugglers Aston Villa as to who’s…

MOISES CAICEDO CHELSEA Chelsea’s midfielder anchor was the first man in Enzo Maresca’s squad to cross the 130km barrier in 2024-25! BERNARDO SILVA MAN.
