🇮🇹 Roma and Juventus kept in check after spirited draw.

Following an intriguing 1-1 draw in the capital, Italian heavyweights Roma and Juventus have both suffered setbacks in the race for Champions League qualification. With Igor Tudor seeking for his first consecutive win as manager and Claudio Ranieri looking to continue his recent hot streak, neither side was able to hit a fatal blow at full time. Given the stakes, it was unsurprising that the two titans took their time getting going in the Italian city tonight. Neither Roma nor Juventus were willing to give up any huge moments in the early going, but the game came alive at Stadio Olimpico within 30 minutes as both teams began to turn the screw with opposing dynamics. First, despite Juve having close to 80% of the ball and managing a sprinkling of chances, Roma appeared more likely to score, with Pierre Kalulu doing an incredible job to race back and block Bryan Cristante's shot that looked certain to cross the line. Juve denied Angeliño's volley attempt, raising concerns....

A young Real Madrid player is expected to play a bigger part in future games.


Following Real Madrid's devastating 2–5 loss to FC Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final, Carlo Ancelotti has been the target of a lot of criticism.

The Real Madrid manager's choice to start Aurelien Tchouameni at center back instead of Raul Asencio is one of the main criticisms leveled at him.

The Frenchman has had some success at center back, but Sunday's match ended badly as the Barça onslaught completely destroyed the player.

Raul Asencio will become more well-known.


Raul Asencio is expected to play a larger role in the starting lineup in the upcoming games, according to Mario Cortegana of The Athletic, despite the mounting worries about Real Madrid's defensive shortcomings.

Every time manager Ancelotti has given the 21-year-old La Fabrica graduate a chance, he has performed admirably.

However, club sources maintain that it was always going to be tough for him to start against Barcelona last Saturday because Los Blancos had maintained a clean sheet against RCD Mallorca in the semi-final.

However, after the final disaster against Barcelona, a change is now considered necessary, and Asencio will be given a bigger position in the team as a reward for his performance.

Real Madrid has no intention of acquiring a new center-back this month, and Ancelotti must begin to have greater faith in the 21-year-old young player given Antonio Rudiger's knee issues.

The defending Spanish and European champions will also benefit from David Alaba's impending return, as the Austrian is anticipated to be reincorporated into the match dynamics starting this week.

Thierry Henry was denied a joyful homecoming as France was defeated by gold medal winners Spain.

Exactly 36 years after Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Lawrie Sanchez, and others ripped up the rulebook to propel Bobby Gould's Wimbledon to a storied FA Cup victory, Thierry Henry's France fell agonisingly short of capturing an emotional Olympic gold medal in front of a sold-out Parc des Princes in Paris. Henry, who gave his young French team the nickname the 'Crazy Ones' due to their fun-loving nature, won nearly everything as a player, and despite the stars appearing to align for a historic gold medal on home turf, the Arsenal legend was overshadowed by Santi Denia's slick Spaniards in a dramatic 5-3 extra-time defeat. Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano was their unexpected late nemesis, dunking French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes with 100 minutes on the clock to startle a stunned capacity crowd. And he delivered a virtual carbon copy of that finish with the game's final kick, charging in on goal as the French flung bodies forward to slot past Restes and cruelly ...
