Former AC Milan forward Marco van Basten says he would have no problem coaching their Serie A rivals Juventus if the opportunity arose.

Paul Pogba s agent Mino Raiola has dismissed speculation that his client is on the verge of a world-record move from Juventus to Manchester United.
France midfielder Pogba, who left United on a free transfer to join Juve in 2012, is widely expected to return to Old Trafford for a fee reported to be in the region of £92million – with a further £18.4m going to Raiola.

There is no deal done regarding Paul Pogba, lots of bla bla bla, he tweeted.

Erin Cuthbert gave Chelsea a priceless first-leg lead in their Champions League semi-final against Barcelona after inflicting a first home defeat for five years on the holders.
Cuthbert’s 40th-minute strike was enough to secure a 1-0 win at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys – Barca’s first defeat of the season – on an afternoon when the Blues produced a superb defensive display to deny the free-scoring defending champions a single shot on target.
Things might have been different, however, had referee Stephanie Frappart not been advised to review her decision to award the hosts a second-half penalty for handball to leave Emma Hayes and her players with something to defend at Stamford Bridge next Saturday.
A HISTORIC WIN IN BARCELONA!
