I dream of winning the Champions League title with Manchester City and a title with Germany, he told WAZ.

I believe that we are even a bit more mature. We …

Celtic came out strong but went in at half-time 1-0 down courtesy of Christopher Nkunku. Despite Jota grabbing an early equaliser in the second half, a double from Andre Silva secured the three points for the Bundesliga side.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez believes winger Aaron Lennon s form is good enough to make him an asset for England at Euro 2016 this year.
The 28-year-old scored for the third consecutive match in his side s impressive 3-0 Premier League win at Stoke City on Saturday.
Lennon, capped 21 times, last played for his country in their friendly win over Brazil in February 2013, but Martinez feels he remains a viable option for the tournament in France.

His footballing qualities have been overshadowed by the lack of Premier League experience and chronic absence of discipline, so the fans were suspicious. With their beloved club having struggled for years in the striking department, they had every right to feel that way.
Alan Shearer left the legacy so great that most of the players would be afraid to even think of replicating, but Mitrovic wasted no time by announcing upon his very arrival the desire and hope to become the club’s new legend and Shearer’s worthy successor.
His pronouncement to the Premier League world was rather extraordinary. Two yellow cards in his first two games for Newcastle, a booking after only 13 seconds in a 2-2 home draw against Southampton, and another one only three minutes past his …

Diego Simeone praised the impact of Fernando Torres as Atletico Madrid kept their La Liga title hopes alive with a 3-1 win away to Valencia.
The former Liverpool and Chelsea striker scored Atletico s second less than 10 minutes after coming on as a substitute, after Denis Cheryshev had cancelled out Antoine Griezmann s opener at Mestalla.
A burst of pace from Torres on the break then brought about Aderlan Santos red card after he was given a second yellow for a clumsy foul, before Yannick Ferreira Carrasco struck the third in the closing minutes.
It was unfair for [Matias] Kranevitter to go off since he was having a great game, but the match needed more firepower going forward, more speed, more of a penalty-box player like Fernando Torres, Simeone said of his c…
