Leeds United moved into 2023 having easily secured qualification to the knockout stages of the Euro Cup. This was secured as the 2022 World Cup was taking place in Qatar and the competition was won by France, who lifted the trophy after a penalty shoot-out victory following a 0-0 draw with Italy - which was...

The 2022/23 campaign would see Leeds United play in European competition for the first time in 20 years. A massive summer clearout saw no less than 26 players depart the club, either permanently or on loan.

Having put our names in history by becoming World Champions for the first time in Atalanta's history last time out, we moved into 2026 in second place in Serie A and looking ahead to the knockout stages of the Champions Cup. The New Year got off to a bad start as we lost second striker... Continue Reading →
We began the defence of Atalanta's first-ever Serie A title strongly, heading into 2025 in a fine vein of form with seven straight victories.
Having completed the first-ever Serie A title in Atalanta history in the 2023/24 campaign, the expectations were heightened for the next campaign.
The injury crisis may be ongoing but amid the adversity, I've uncovered a little beauty in youngster Curtis Jones. The 17-year-old midfielder was thrown into my Liverpool side for the visit of Southampton, given we had no other options.
