CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GAMES RECAP Seems like Manchester United are at their lowest right now. In a game in which Erik ten Hag's side needed nothing but victory, they instead managed to provide only 1 shot on target. In return, Bayern found their chance, which was mercilessly converted by Kingsley Coman, leaving the Red Devils without any European tournaments in the spring. Meanwhile, the accurate shot from the experienced Lukas Lerager at the 58th minute brought a dream come true result for Copenhagen. The club was so happy with the fact of entering the knockout stages of the Champions League that free beer was offered to everyone at the stadium. Inter failed to secure first place in their group! Real Sociedad were dominating at San Siro, but the teams ended up scoring no goals. However, the Spaniards were the ones who advanced to knockouts from the first spot. Real Madrid conceded twice against humble Union, though Joselu's brace and a late goal from Ceballos earned Los Blancos three points in a game that no longer bore any tournament significance for them. Another football legend retires Officially Juventus and Italy legend Giorgio Chiellini has decided to retire from professional football at the age of 39. His last career club were MLS playoff finalists Los Angeles FC, where he performed for 2 seasons. "You have been the most beautiful and intense journey of my life. You have been my everything. With you I have traveled a unique and unforgettable path. But now it is time to start new chapters, face new challenges and write further important and exciting pages of life," the former defender wrote on his Twitter page. Throughout his career, Chiellini managed to win the Italian championship 9 times, became the MLS champion once, and won Euro 2020 with the Italy squad. He has 710 appearances and 44 goals at club level, as well as 8 goals in 117 appearances for Squadra Azzurra. Neymar likely to return to his native club?! Globo Esporte Reliability: 4 The legendary Neymar may soon return to his native club, Santos. According to reports, Santos have already started working on the transfer of the 31-year-old forward. The club began to get closer to Neymar's father and other members of his close circle. The plan is for Neymar to join Santos in the summer of 2025 as soon as his contract with Al Hilal expires. At the beginning of his career, Neymar made 139 appearances for Santos, scoring 72 goals and delivering 37 assists. We would like to remind you that the other day, Santos were relegated to the Brazilian Serie B for the first time in the club’s history. Due to another serious knee injury, Neymar will be out of action at least until the end of April. Tuchel dreams of Araujo Christian Falk Reliability: 5 Despite Ronald Araujo's reluctance to leave Barca, Munich head coach Thomas Tuchel will insist on making every effort to acquire the Uruguayan centre-back. Tuchel sees Araujo as a "defensive line boss", the role, which Dayot Upamecano, Kim Min-jae and Matthijs de Ligt could not be able to fit. Araujo's release clause is worth 80 million euros, and Bayern are capable of paying that kind of money for his services. Therefore, in order to get this deal done, the Bavarians only need to convince Araujo himself. Real Madrid prioritize signing Haaland! Cadena SER Reliability: 3.5 It was the acquisition of Erling Haaland, not Kylian Mbappe, that emerged as Real Madrid’s top priority for the summer of 2024! Real Madrid have been keeping constant secret contact with Haaland and his entourage for quite a while. The Norwegian has dreamed of representing Madrid since childhood, thus he is tempted by this option. However, he is currently happy at Man City, it is difficult for him to make a final decision. Real Madrid are still considering the option of signing Mbappe and Haaland at the same time, but if they have to choose between them, Erling will be the priority.
