90% of the players in the Bundesliga are fully vaccinated and the league made it mandatory for all players to get a vaccine. Most other European Leagues are following under their example with 93% vaccinated in Ligue One, 94% in Serie A, and 95% in La Liga. However, the English are considerably behind with only 84% of the players in the EPL receiving a dose of the COVID vaccine and 68% receiving two. The reason? A manipulative report and a relatively smaller scarce. The Bundesliga takes the lead to fix vaccination gaps. /Bundesliga A few months ago, an EPL player read a report about “young men ..read more

In addition to a great champions league, this weekend kicked off with three great derbies- the El Clasico, Liverpool vs Manchester United and Inter Milan vs Juventus. Back in Spain, the El Clasico disappointed again. Although the game took place in Camp Nou, Barcelona was far from their best. They took quite a few shoots, but just two were on target and with that their ninth position in the La Liga remains stable. Their only saving hope was Aguero, who’s recently out of surgery and scored in the 97th minute. But unfortunately, his last ditch effort wasn’t enough to beat Madrid’s two goals. Thi ..read more

Barcelona’s new Number 10, Ansu Fati, debuts his new jersey with a stunning goal right after the ninetieth minute. While Barca are no way near their prime, their level of play is right around where it was last year. With Aguero still out due to injury, they haven’t maximized their full potential just yet. So don’t fret Barca fans, Atletico with Griezmann and Suarez are your only obstacles (ironic) in the path of the La Liga. But you may just make it back to the top without Messi.  The 10 Legacy passes on to Fati. /Getty Images In England, a very one sided London derby at Emirates showcase ..read more

A bitter moment engrained in every Barcelona fan’s brain is the iconic 8-2 against Bayern Munich. This week, Barcelona revisited that game with a similar result, though not nearly as bad. But Munich managed to defeat a Messi-less Barcelona once again with a solid 3-0. Lewan-Goal-ski and Thomas-sist struck again by contributing to all three. Lewandowski has now scored in his 18th consecutive game and has tallied up 30 UCL goals since the 18/19 season, breaking yet another record. In 2021, he carried the Bundes awards with a total of 28 Man of the Match awards, most goals, most goal involvements ..read more

Cristiano Ronaldo made headlines two days ago when reports stated that he may head to Manchester. The Manchester in question was Manchester City though. Longtime Man United and Ronaldo Fans felt betrayed knowing that he could possibly join his first professional team’s rivals. But it was no surprise considering how much City is known to spend under Guardiola so far.

Fortunately, the United States and the previously known USSR ended their Space race, but not before creating constant tension between the two parts. A similar rivalry has emerged in the world of European Football by two elite groups. From the highly antagonized rich oil, political or energy-based clubs on one side to the formerly gloriously rich clubs without an unlimited supply of money. Qatari Investment Groups.

Fantasy Premier League is great, but there’s something about good old table predictions that are more convenient and even better to get right and compare to the results. Manchester City: Pep Guordiola’s Manchester is nothing if not consistent in the Premier League. From being Centurions to winning last year’s league despite a rocky start. They’ve got in all. Maybe an addition of a striker wouldn’t be too bad now that Aguero is away at a broken Barcelona, but if they secure Kane, there is no reason for them not to win the league. Plus, Jack Grealish. The hottest EPL transfer of the season who ..read more

Dear Messi, I woke up thinking it would be a usual Thursday, and it started off great. I did a few German readings and proceeded to have Brunch with my mother. As we finished and were watching TV, my phone buzzed; it buzzed multiple times. I got a message from a friend stating that Messi was leaving Barcelona. I assumed it was a prank, but went ahead and opened Instagram. The first post that popped up had your picture on it and the caption said that you’re leaving Barcelona. I still couldn’t believe it and looked it up on FC Barcelona‘s official website. It was true. “Financial and structural ..read more

International football has officially come to an end for now, with both the Copa Americas and the Euros’ finals being over. Neither of the matches disappointed but the Copas made history for a certain marvelous Argentinian boy called Lionel Messi. Lionel Messi. /via Getty Images Argentina’s Di Maria came on field and scored in the 22nd minute with DePaul’s help. With that Emi Martinez took care of the rest and made sure Brazil didn’t break through. Just like that, Argentina beat Neymar’s Brazil and took the cup with them.
