Chockförlust för Barcelona – föll mot nästjumbon

Chockförlust för Barcelona – föll mot nästjumbon

Bottenlaget Almeria vann på hemmaplan med 1–0 och tog tidernas första seger mot storklubben. För Barcelona var det blott den andra förlusten i ligan den här säsongen och lagets 13 matcher långa förlustfria svit bröts. Barcelona leder fortfarande La Liga med sju poängs marginal till tvåan Real Madrid, men laget missade chansen att rycka till sig en näst intill ointaglig ledning i jakten på sin första ligatitel sedan 2019. Real kryssade, 1–1, i derbyt mot Atletico Madrid i lördags trots spel med en man mer sista halvtimmen. För Barcelona var förlusten den andra stora smällen på några dagar då Xavi Hernandez lag åkte ur Europa League tidigare i veckan mot Manchester United. El Bilal Touré sköt segermålet efter 24 minuters spel. Segern innebär att Almeira lämnade platsen som nästjumbo och klev över nedflyttningsstrecket. Barcelona möter på torsdag Real Madrid i den första semifinalen i Copa del Rey på Santiago Bernabeu.

Här flörtar (?) Zlatan med Victor Lindelöf: "Man vet aldrig"

Här flörtar (?) Zlatan med Victor Lindelöf: "Man vet aldrig"

Nyligen kom uppgifter i Italien, via sajten Milan Live, om att Milan vill värva den svenske landslagsmittbacken från Manchester United. Victor Nilsson Lindelöf, 30, sitter på ett utgående kontrakt och kan därför börja förhandla med andra klubbar efter årsskiftet. Vad säger tidigare lagkamraten Zlatan Ibrahimovic, som numera är sportsligt ansvarig i Serie A-jätten, om det påstådda intresset? I en intervju med TV4 ger han ett kryptiskt svar om saken: – Det är mycket rykten som sprids. Det ryktet är mer för att jag är svensk, och Lindelöf är svensk. Han är en fantastisk spelare. Jag tror att han har det bra i United. Vi har många bra spelare på den positionen. Så han har nog… Jag vet inte vad han vill. Man får nog fråga honom, säger Ibrahimovic. Han lägger till: – Om vi är där? Man vet aldrig. Vad vill ni då? – Vad vi vill? Vi vill mycket. Och vi jobbar för det, svarar Ibrahimovic och ler. Ibrahimovic och Nilsson Lindelöf spelade tillsammans både i svenska herrlandslag och Manchester United.

Han ska bryta förbannelsen i United: "Är riskfyllt"

Han ska bryta förbannelsen i United: "Är riskfyllt"

▸ Manchester Uniteds nya huvudtränare verkar bli Rúben Amorim. Detta då portugisens nuvarande klubb Sporting Club bekräftat förhandlingar med den engelska storklubben, som verkar få betala upp emot 110 miljoner kronor för att få loss 39-åringen. Vad kan Amorim tillföra i Manchester United så att de kommer tillbaka till fornstora dagar? Vad skiljer honom från de andra tidigare framgångsrika tränarna som inte lyckats i klubben? Och verkar det som att han tar med den svenska målsprutan Viktor Gyökeres till England?

ETH out och kryss på Emirates

▸ Förlusten mot West Ham blev droppen (eller var det redan bestämt?) som fick INEOS bägare att rinna över och Erik ten Hag fick därmed lämna sin post som manager för Manchester United. Detta visste vi dock inte under ordinarie inspelning så brasklapp inför diskussionen om just den matchen som dessutom innehöll ett av säsongens märkligaste domslut. Dessutom förstås stormötet på Emirates som kan ha blivit en dyrköpt poäng för Arsenal. Chelsea med fenomenet Cole Palmer i spetsen rullade ut Newcastle och Crystal Palace fick påhälsning av doktor Tottenham för sin första trea för säsongen.

The End of the Year Show: Roll on 2024, ASAP!

Ian Irving is on great form, unlike last time, and the whole team are feeling pretty upbeat about Manchester United's prospects going into the new year. Join us as we look back at twelve months that started so brightly, with Erik Ten Hag and his squad winning the Carabao Cup at Wembley, before subsiding badly going into the new season. But, as we said, we are an optimistic lot, and we're expecting at least six points over Christmas, plenty of improvement from the men in 2024, and for newly crowned SPOTY Mary Earps to tell Arsenal what she told Jenni Hermoso after that penalty.

"Speaking of Pies!": INEOS team watch uninspiring routine win at Wigan

Erik Ten Hag picked the strongest Manchester United team available at Wigan in the FA Cup 3rd round and the result was never in doubt, but it still left Ian, Andy, and Laurie a bit cold. We consider how Dave Brailsford and the INEOS contingent will have viewed the performance, and how they decided who would sit next to who, plus what's really going on with the Martial/Varane contract talks. And there are a few of our usual asides, including Eastleigh's stadium spec, how Andy's uncle spearheaded the defence of their bench in their Premier League days, and the merits of a pie sandwich.

Anger after another disastrous road-trip

It's a full house on the podcast as we dissect another awful performance away from home at a top-half Premier League side. A 1-0 defeat in Newcastle didn't tell the story with Ten Hag's men clearly second best throughout. St James's Park has not been a happy hunting ground in recent years and the hosts were "good value" for their third consecutive win over Manchester United since the Carabao Cup final last February. Erik Ten Hag's in-game management is also looking shaky, especially when compared to last season. United have been drawn away in the cup(!), but the next three games will be at home, starting with Wednesday night's visit of Chelsea. This time, the opposition are at least as chaotic, probably more, and it's very difficult to predict how this game will play out. *** • Athletic Greens is going to give you a FREE 1 year supply of immune-supporting Vitamin D AND 5 FREE travel packs with your first purchase.

A creditable draw at Anfield... but how to capitalise?

Ian Irving and Andy Mitten are feeling a little tender this Monday morning. Fortunately, it's not because of another chastening defeat at Anfield! Laurie Whitwell completes the trio as we dissect a resolute defensive performance from Erik Ten Hag's Manchester United, albeit one with very little attacking threat. Given recent results, especially those at Liverpool, this can be viewed as a step in the right direction, but the next few steps are even more important for the future of this team and this manager.
