88 m. ago Mbappé and Vinícius lead Real Madrid resurgence as Monaco are hit for six

The scars remain and there is much to be fixed still but this was a significant step towards reconciliation and something of a statement too. Not just in the goals they scored, but the reaction to them. Nine days after Xabi Alonso’s sacking, six after their captain said they had hit rock bottom with Copa del Rey elimination and three after the protest of a generation, white hankies and whistles greeting the players and even the president, there were songs and support at last as Real Madrid defeated Monaco 6-1.Kylian Mbappé, Franco Mastantuono and Jude Bellingham all scored, while there was also an own goal from Monaco’s Thilo Kehrer. The Englishman celebrated his with a drinking celebration following rumours about his supposed off-field habits and accusations about his part in Alonso’s sacking. He had already referred to that by posting: “Honestly, what a load of shit.” Smiling now, this response was even more pointed, and done from a position of power, at the end of an impressive p...

2 h. ago Gabriel Jesus stakes claim at Inter as Arsenal celebrate qualification in style

Mission accomplished for Arsenal. A seventh win out of seven ensured Mikel Arteta’s side will head straight into the last 16 of this competition as one of the favourites for the Champions League after Gabriel Jesus scored twice – including their 19th goal of the season from a corner – to see off last year’s beaten finalists.It means that as well as getting one back over an Inter side that beat them here 14 months ago, Arsenal have surpassed their longest winning streak at this level. While Manchester City’s surprise defeat in Norway in the earlier kick-off had removed any jeopardy about them progressing, this was more evidence of the ruthless streak they have developed under Arteta. The only blot on the copybook in a fourth successive away game in four different competitions was Petar Sucic’s equaliser in the first half after Jesus had given them an early lead, although this was all about the Brazil striker even after the substitute Viktor Gyökeres sealed the points late on with a c...
