Muller reveals why Barcelona lost the Champions League match against Bayern Munich

0

Barcelona fell to the bottom as they suffered a humiliating 8-2 defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich. It was expected to be a close tie. Lewandowski’s Bayern Munich were favourites but Messi was believed to carry Barcelona over the line.

The match was far from close as Bayern was in top gear from the whistle. Bayern just tore apart the Barcelona team. They have hit the bottom and Messi too couldn’t rescue them this time.

Thomas Muller was adjudged as the Man of the Match for his brilliant display. The German has now revealed one of the reasons why Barcelona lost in the Champions League. He has taken a swipe at the attitude of the Barcelona players.

Muller said Barcelona looked overly relaxed ahead of the 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich. He felt that his side were better prepared and had more appetite ahead of the game.

Muller said at an event hosted by Mobelhaus Hoffner: “I congratulate our coach.”

“Just one example: We had been warming up for ten minutes when Barcelona walked out onto the field to warm up. They were very relaxed.”

“That doesn’t have to mean anything. The match could have ended differently, but I think it turned out that we were very hungry.”

Muller also gave his thoughts on the possible departure of Leo Messi. He said: “Messi is one of the best players on the planet, also in the last 100 years. A change may be interesting for the world of football, except for Barcelona fans.”

“Nobody is critical of this. On the contrary, I am curious to see what his new path would bring.”

Muller also joked about trying to get Messi to sign for the Bavarians. He added: “I’ve talked to our CFO a couple of times and I don’t think we can do anything about it.”

A joint motion of no-confidence against Bartomeu has been confirmed

0

It was coming, and finally, all of the Barca presidential candidates including Jordi Farré, Víctor Font and Lluís Fernández-Alà have taken the stand to remove Bartomeu and his board of directors immediately.

This means that if all of the three candidates become successful jointly to gather 16,000 necessary signatures of social then Bartomeu has no chance but resigning. Obviously, collecting these many signatures in this situation will be difficult, and to comment on that:

“The handicap is important, but we cannot change the context that exists. We will pass on to the club a battery of proposals to make the process as easy and safe for all members. We are in the midst of a pandemic, and perhaps some of the usual procedures. We hope that Barça will provide facilities “, said Marc Duch, president of ‘Manifest Blaugrana’.

He been in charge of taking the floor on behalf of the three presidential candidates along with eight culé opinion groups: Compromissaris FCB, Dignitat Blaugrana, El Cor Blaugrana, El Senyor Ramon, La Resistència del Palau, Manifest Blaugrana, Seguiment FCB, and # Noiestwitterbarça.

Bartomeu in dilemma, six directors of Barcelona board resign

This vote of no-confidence has been presented on Friday morning through a telematic press conference and it demands  “the immediate resignation of the entire board of directors”  and calls on all Barça members to “turn their heads with this motion given the very, very complicated moment that the club is experiencing”.

Obviously, this vote of no-confidence is historic as it has never been in the club history before because there was no stubborn man like Bartomeu before as the president.

He has even encouraged all the members to offer their premises or space to collect signatures. In this pandemic doing this is a tough job but for Barcelona fans, Messi is more important than anything.

Lionel Messi could face a six-month ban or a penalty of €700m

0

Messi has taken a shocking decision off late about his exit from Barcelona. It all started on Monday when his lawyers sent a burofax to the club stating to activate his ‘free transfer clause’ which has totally shaken the club and the fans across the globe.

The Argentine, who had promised to never leave the club, is now determined to leave Camp Nou because he had had enough from Bartomeu and the board associated with it. Now, there are speculations on whether he will leave for free and how the decision will be affected by the clause that he has with the club.

According to a report by Onefootball, The Athletic on Friday published a report which contains insights from two Spanish legal experts into whether the Argentine superstar really could walk away from Camp Nou for nothing.

Messi had a clause in his Barcelona contract that allowed him to leave at the end of the season but that expired on June 10, so his ‘free clause’ ends technically. However, like what happened with other transfers, FIFA had to extend due to the anomaly in timings due to the COVID-19, so it may happen that he could be allowed to leave for free.

Sports lawyer Francisco Dominguez has been quoted as saying: “The clause in the contract is June 10 and the end of the season contractually is June 30, when contracts usually end, marking the end of the season.”

“This, therefore, means a 20-day period before the ‘end’ of the season. Therefore, we know he has notified the club too late, according to the original date, by withdrawing from his contract in August.”

According to the report, if Barcelona goes into a legal battle with Messi, the three possible outcomes in the worst-case scenario of Messi losing the case will be:

  • The six-time Ballon d’Or winner banned from football for six months
  • Messi and his new club being jointly liable for the €700m penalty
  • His new club being issued with a two-window transfer ban

That’s based on Article 17 of Fifa’s transfer regulations which state that:

  • “If a professional is required to pay compensation, the professional and his new club shall be jointly and severally liable for its payment.”
  • “Sporting sanctions shall also be imposed on any player found to be in breach of contract during the protected period. This sanction shall be a four-month restriction on playing in official matches. In the case of aggravating circumstances, the restriction shall last six months.”
  • “Sporting sanctions shall be imposed on any club found to be in breach of contract or found to be inducing a breach of contract during the protected period.”
  • “The club shall be banned from registering any new players, either nationally or internationally, for two entire and consecutive registration periods.”

Even if Lionel Messi walks away for free now, he may face a lengthy legal battle in the future whose outcomes don’t sound good. So it’s better for everybody that Messi and his new club sit down with Barcelona and agree on a transfer fee.

Premier League club Manchester City looks to be the most likely destination for the Argentine. City are ready to hand out a transfer fee if Barcelona wants a deal. It is reported that they have €300m for transfers this summer and they have already started calculating how they can afford the little magician.

IPL 2020: 13 members of CSK test positive for COVID-19

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, BCCI has moved the IPL outside India to the UAE. The 13th edition of IPL is scheduled to start from 19th September. All the 8 IPL teams have already arrived in UAE.

According to a report by InsideSport, 13 members of Chennai Super Kings have tested positive for COVID-19. Among the 13 people, 1 Indian fast bowler and 12 members from support staff and social media team were reported positive. InsideSport claims they tried reaching out to CSK CEO Vishwanathan but he was unavailable to answer.

Surprisingly, CSK had earlier announced that they have extended their quarantine period till 1st September, though they have completed their six-day mandatory quarantine period today.

The CSK squad was expected to start training at the ICC Academy from today but the sudden postponement of the quarantine period has raised doubts in the minds of all the people.

Now, it has been reported that 13 members of CSK have tested positive, so this is the probable reason for extending their quarantine period.

According to a report by ESPNCricinfo, other teams are already monitoring the developments in the Super Kings camp. Another franchise official said they even urged the IPL to issue an advisory to all teams to update everybody about the test results of all teams.

Official: Chelsea sign former PSG captain Thiago Silva on a free transfer

Former PSG captain Thiago Silva was a free agent after finishing this season as Champions League runners-up. He had already informed the French side that he will leave this summer.

Thiago Silva joined PSG from Milan in 2012 and has helped the club to gain glory in France. Everyone at PSG wanted to give him a fitting farewell by winning the Champions League but they lost 1-0 to Bayern Munich in the finals on Sunday.

After the defeat, Silva has now decided about his next destination. He has now signed a one-year contract with Premier League club Chelsea with an option to further extend a year.

Although Chelsea finished fourth last season, they conceded 54 goals in the Premier League. Lampard has been on the lookout to sign new defenders. Frank Lampard’s side has a shacky defence so the addition of a vastly experienced defender would definitely improve the backline.

Chelsea has already signed Ben Chilwell from Leicester City and Malang Sarr from Nice. Now they have added an experienced centre-back in the form of Thiago Silva to their squad.

Now the question arises, Thiago Silva will be 36 years next month so can he handle the pace and intensity of the Premier League at this age? Premier League has always been a physical league so can Silva live up to the standards of the English top-flight?

Silva is a free agent now, so even if he turns 36-year-old, signing such a coveted player on a free transfer is always going to be a successful deal. So Lampard’s Chelsea has decided to sign him and he will definitely prove his worth to the North London side.

Thiago Silva said after signing Chelsea: “I am so happy to be joining Chelsea. I am delighted to be a part of Frank Lampard’s exciting squad for next season and I’m here to challenge for honours. See you soon Chelsea fans, I look forward to playing at Stamford Bridge very soon.”

Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia said: “We are delighted to be able to add a player of Thiago Silva’s proven world-class credentials to our squad.”

“Having performed at the highest level for many years, we have no doubt his experience and quality will complement the many exciting talents we already have here”

“Thiago will be an excellent fit and we hope he can add some new trophies to his impressive list of honours.”

Chelsea has now signed five new players for the upcoming season: Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech, Ben Chilwell, Malang Sarr (he will be sent out on loan) and Thiago Silva. Bayer Leverkusen’s Kai Havertz has also agreed to join Chelsea and the deal will be announced shortly.

The North London club has been very busy in this transfer window. After finishing fourth last season, it seemed they are determined to challenge Liverpool and Manchester City for the Premier League title in the upcoming season.

Harry Maguire reveals he feared for his life when he was arrested in Greece

Harry Maguire was given a suspended prison sentence following a brawl in Greece earlier this week. He was also removed from the England squad for the friendlies against Denmark and Iceland.

Maguire was found guilty of several issues like repeated bodily harm, attempted bribery, violence against police, and insult after the arrest.

He was given a verdict of 21 months suspension and 10 days prison on Tuesday. The next day his legal team has lodged an appeal against the verdict as Maguire was so disappointed to hear the verdict.

Yesterday he spoke to BBC Sport about the incident. The Manchester United captain has told something which has shaken all the fans.

Maguire says that the police officer threw him and his partners from the minibus in Mykonos. That police officer also beat him in his leg and threatened him, “Your football career is over.” 

Maguire said, “I don’t feel I owe an apology to anybody. An apology is something when you have done something wrong.”

“I don’t wish it on anybody. Obviously the situation has made it difficult for one of the biggest clubs in the world, so I regret putting the fans and the club through this, but I did nothing wrong.”

“I found myself in a situation where it could have happened to anybody and anywhere.”

He further added: “They hit me a lot on the legs. It wasn’t on my mind. I was in that much of a panic, fear, scared for my life.”

Maguire joined Manchester United last summer and became the captain of the club in January after Ashley Young left the club for Inter. Some sources claimed that he can lose his captaincy for this incident.

When he was asked about this matter he said that “It is such a huge honour to be captain of Manchester United – something I am really proud of. It is a massive privilege to play for the club, never mind captain.”

“It is not my decision to make but the one thing I will say is how supportive the club has been from top to bottom. They have been great with me and I thank them for that.”.

Later Manchester United has confirmed that they will keep him as their captain for next season.

Maguire was also asked about his withdrawal from the England camp. He said, “I love playing for my country. Physically and mentally I am ready to play. I’m disappointed but of course, I understand.”
