Xavi confirms he will leave Barcelona at end of season

Xavi has confirmed he will step down from his position as Barcelona at the end of the season . The former midfielder, who led Barcelona to La Liga glory last season , has been under immense pressure in recent weeks after a series of poor performances saw his side dumped out of the Supercopa de Espana and Copa del Rey, while Saturday's 5-3 defeat to Villarreal left Barca ten points behind league leaders Real Madrid. Xavi was late to his post-match press conference as he met with president Joan Laporta, and when he did turn up, he confirmed he had agreed to step down this summer. "I would like to announce that on June 30 I will not continue as coach of Barca," he said. "It is a decision that I have made with the president and Rafa Yuste. The situation deserves a change of course. It can't continue. "I think the club needs a change of dynamic. As a cule, for the good of the players, I think they will free themselves. We play with a lot of tension. For the good

Al-Nassr - Inter Miami: times, how to watch on TV, stream online | Riyadh Season Cup

Image
On Tuesday, February 1, 2024, Al-Nassr and Inter Miami will meet each other in a friendly match at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Al-Nassr, the runners-up of the Saudi Professional League, is one of the strongest teams in the tournament. They have a balanced squad with experienced players such as Abdullah Al-Khaibari, Sadio Mane, and, of course, Cristiano Ronaldo. Inter Miami, a fairly new team in the MLS, is the guest and one of the most exciting teams in the tournament. Their team has some real talent with Busquests, Jordi Alba, Luis Suárez and Lionel Messi. They have yet to win in their preseason , but they will be looking to add their first W to their name. This will probably be the last time that stars Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi see each other on the pitch. They were the biggest rivalry in La Liga History and probably Football in general for a decade. The match is more than a friendly; it is their last showdown. The last time they met, Mess

Bayern Munich still keen on Kieran Trippier despite Newcastle rejecting two bids

Image
Bayern Munich have seen a second €15m bid Newcastle United's Kieran Trippier rejected but they haven't given up hope of signing him this month, despite also pushing for Paris Saint-Germain’s Nordi Mukiele, 90min understands. Surprise initial transfer links with Trippier emerged in recent days and the Englishman has been open to the idea - he has already had one successful spell abroad in his career, winning La Liga with Atletico Madrid. But the 33-year-old is equally not pushing in any aggressive sense to leave St James' Park and will respect the club's decision rather than attempt to force his way out. 90min understands Newcastle are extremely reluctant to sell Trippier, who has worn the captain's armband numerous times since his 2022 arrival. Not only do the club want to keep one of their most i NFL uential players, but it's also understood they feel even in a best-case scenario they won't get more than €25m for him. Even that number is pretty optimistic

Snowplow Mailbox Hockey Day (January 23rd)

Image
Quick facts When is it? Every January 23rd Tagged as Hobbies & Activities Silly & Humorous What's the hashtag? #SnowplowMailboxHockeyDay When was it founded? 2010 Who founded it? Thomas and Ruth Roy (Wellcat) Have we missed something? Many northern US cities have at least one harsh snowfall throughout the winter, if not several. During a particularly heavy snowfall or blizzard, roads can sometimes get covered with three feet of snow, which leaves the snowplows to do their work. Get on board and embrace the silliness that often accompanies snow by celebrating Snowplow Mailbox Hockey Day!  History of Snowplow Mailbox Hockey Day This completely tongue-in-cheek day probably got its start in 2010 when it was the brainchild of Thomas and Ruth Roy, the folks from Wellcat industries who are behind many different days. When the snow piles so high that, particularly in rural areas, the mailboxes on the side of the road are covered and the snowplows might jus

Bournemouth 0-4 Liverpool: Player ratings as Nunez & Jota fire Reds to victory

Image
A depleted Liverpool side deservedly battled out a 4-0 victory away to Bournemouth on Sunday afternoon. Jurgen Klopp was missing a cadre of stars, including Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, but Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota filled the void impressively, sharing four second-half goals between them. Liverpool's impressive victory sends the Reds five points clear of Manchester City at the Premier League summit. How the game unfolded Each set of p layer s was buffeted around by the blustering wind crashing over the English south coast on Sunday as much as the fearsome press employed by both teams in a cagey and even first half. It took 19 minutes for either side to register a shot. The wind never settled but Liverpool established a stranglehold of the match after the break. Ultimately, Bournemouth's eagerness to press that proved their undoing. Within four minutes of the restart, one hurried ball from Ibrahima Konate soared over the top of all the red and black stripes tha

Texans - Ravens live online: stats, scores and highlights | NFL Divisional Round

There's new messages Texans @ Ravens LIVE That Ravens D Remember when I mentioned that the Ravens defense held the Texans out of the end zone in Week 1? And Stroud to just 242 yards and five sacks? Yes. Well. They only got better from there this season, becoming the first team to lead the league in: points allowed (16.5), sacks (60), and takeaways (31). Stroud may have an impressive touchdown-to-interception ratio (23-5, the best in the league), but the Ravens defense held him off once, and it looks like they could do it again today with a Super Bowl on their minds.
