Recent reports had claimed Neymar was keen to return to Camp Nou but Barcelona ruled out a move for the Brazilian. And Neymar has now revealed the impact Messi has had on his career, describing him as ‘one of the best players of all time.’ "Facing Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo – and I played with Messi, who is, for me, one of the greatest footballers of all time, and he is my idol in football," Neymar told The Players’ Tribune.

Cristiano Ronaldo's lawyer labels rape accusation as 'complete fabrication' in latest statement Cristiano Ronaldo 's new Las Vegas lawyer has rubbished the claims that the Juventus star raped a woman back in 2009 as 'complete fabrications' but says the encounter was consensual. Attorney  Peter S. Christiansen  on Wednesday issued a statement that doesn't deny Ronaldo and the woman reached a non-disclosure agreement in 2010. The statement declared that documents cited in media reports about Ronaldo's Las Vegas hotel penthouse encounter in 2009 with  Kathryn Mayorga  were altered before being 'irresponsibly published.' Mayorga's attorneys did not immediately respond to messages. A lawsuit filed September 27 in Nevada state court seeks to void the non-disclosure agreement that Mayorga's attorneys say she signed while accepting $375,000 (£284,000) to keep quiet. Las Vegas police say they have reopened a sexual assault investigation of ...

Cristiano Ronaldo receives the world’s first copy of FIFA'19 with himself on the cover (Photo) The 'FIFA 19 cover star' Cristiano Ronaldo has received the world’s first copy of the game which isn’t due for release until September 28.   The Juventus forward tweeted a picture of himself and son, Cristiano Ronaldo Junior, posing with a PlayStation 4 copy of the game, which arrived in a special edition with the tag line ‘champions rise’ which ties in with the game’s new Champions League license.   Ronaldo scored his first Serie A goals for the club over the weekend and probably has a few cheeky games of Ultimate Team or FIFA 19’s new Kick off party modes with his son to celebrate.   While Ronaldo appears proudly on the front cover in full Juventus kit, his £99million move to Italy must have caused EA Sports a few issues. Whilst changing the front cover should have been simple enough, there were worries that the transfer could have ruined Journey Mode.

Croatia won England in extra-time to reach World Cup final for the first time ever in history   R Croatia will face France in the final of the 2018 World Cup in Moscow after defeating England 2-1 in extra-time tonight.   Mario Mandzukic's extra-time strike completed a battling turnaround as Croatia beat England 2-1 in Moscow to reach the World Cup final for the first time in their history. England made an electric start with Kieran Trippier's early goal and for a large period of the game looked good value to book their passage to the final for the first time since 1966, but Croatia somehow battled through their apparent jadedness and tamed the Three Lions, Mandzukic landing the decisive blow.   Gareth Southgate consistently downplayed the euphoria in his team in the build-up, and for a while England gave every indication they were going to take charge of their own destiny, as Trippier found the net with a delightful free-kick in the fifth minute.  But Croatia ...

Brazil international, Philippe Coutinho has ended his five years sojourn at Liverpool as he is set to finalise his desired move to Barcelona. He will become Barcelona’s most expensive signing after a deal worth €160 million was agreed with Liverpool, which is the new British transfer record. La Liga’s leaders will part with €120m as a guaranteed base fee, with another €40m in performance and appearance-related add-ons that are expected to be triggered. The 25-year-old will move ahead of Ousmane Dembele as Barca’s highest-cost recruit, also surpassing Paul Pogba as the biggest player trade involving an English club. Liverpool failed in their exhaustive efforts to convince Coutinho, who did not travel with the squad to a warm-weather camp in Dubai, to remain on Merseyside until the end of the season at the very least. The Brazilian declined their proposed incentives and offer of a higher wage, repeating his intention to move to Camp Nou with immediate effect. Having approached the ...
