Ronaldo makes football history; Man City breaks record for Joao Felix

Ronaldo makes football history

Juventus has just officially won the Serie A title in the 2018/19 season with a comeback against Fiorentina. With 87 points after 33 rounds, Juventus is the sole leader of Serie A, 20 points ahead of the second-placed team Napoli (Napoli played the latest in round 22).

The early title was a consolation for Juventus after they were eliminated from the Champions League quarter-finals by Ajax, and helped Cristiano Ronaldo set a new record. Specifically, the Portuguese superstar became the first player to win the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A.

Previously, Ronaldo won the Premier League 3 times (2006/07, 2007/08, 2008/09), La Liga 2 times (201112, 2016/17) and now the first championship in Serie A (2018/19).

Man City takes top spot in Premier League

Man City were painfully eliminated by Tottenham in the Champions League quarter-finals and today they meet again in round 35 of the Premier League.

With home advantage and determination to avenge their loss, Man City rushed to attack right after the opening whistle. The dominance was shown by the players in blue from the very first minutes with consecutive opportunities created in front of Lloris' goal.

In the 5th minute, Man City fans were able to celebrate a goal from young star Phil Foden. Bernardo Silva dribbled the ball down the left wing before crossing it to Sergio Aguero. The Argentine striker headed the ball to Foden and the young English star easily headed it into Tottenham's net.

In the end, Man City won 1-0 and temporarily climbed to the top of the table with 86 points, 1 point more than Liverpool.

Barcelona sells sky-high tickets to Liverpool fans

Recently, Barcelona's homepage announced the ticket price for Liverpool fans in the first leg of the 2018/19 Champions League semi-final at Camp Nou is 119 euros/ticket.

In the opposite direction, Liverpool also announced the ticket price for Barcelona fans to Anfield is 119 euros/ticket. However, Liverpool will use the difference from the ticket sales to support fans to Camp Nou at 31 euros/ticket. Thus, Liverpool fans will actually only have to pay 88 euros/ticket to watch the first leg of the semi-final at Camp Nou.

The reason Barcelona did this was because they could not ignore the unreasonable clause that Liverpool demanded when they sold Philippe Coutinho in January 2018 for 150 million euros (142 million pounds). That clause was that within 3 years from that time (until January 2020), if Barcelona wanted to buy another player from Liverpool, they would have to pay an additional 115 million euros (100 million pounds).

Man City breaks record for Joao Felix

Portuguese TV channel TVI confirmed that coach Pep Guardiola has successfully convinced the Man City board to spend 120 million euros to buy Joao Felix. This figure will make the young Portuguese striker the most expensive contract in Man City history, far surpassing Riyad Mahrez - 65 million euros.

However, the Etihad team will have to compete fiercely with MU, PSG, Chelsea, Man City and Juventus in the race to recruit Joao Felix. Not long ago, Juventus sent Benfica a 75 million euro offer for this 19-year-old striker but was rejected.

Up to this point, Joao Felix has scored 16 goals and 9 assists for Benfica in 38 matches in all competitions. He is considered the "new Cristiano Ronaldo" of Portuguese football at the present time. Even his agent Pedro Cordeiro affirmed that he is one of the brightest talents of Portugal after the golden generation of 1999 and promises to win the Golden Ball in the future.

Juventus asked to buy Varane for 90 million euros

Don Balon reported that Juventus offered Real Madrid 90 million euros to buy Raphael Varane and what is most interesting is that the French midfielder himself asked the Spanish Royal team to accept the price.

Juventus, after the disappointment of being eliminated from the Champions League by Ajax, are now said to be aiming to strengthen their squad, which is also a demand from Cristiano Ronaldo if the Serie A champions really want to conquer the Champions League.

With Andrea Barzagli retiring at the end of the season and Chiellini turning 35 later this year, Juventus desperately need to bring in a player like Varane.

Raphael Varane is considered one of the best central defenders in recent years, although this season has not been smooth.
