In a real showdown between two Italian giants of Sunday night, Napoli will welcome AC Milan to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Napoli

Starting with the hosts, managing to snatch what was a stunning last-gasp 2-1 win against bitter rivals Lazio last weekend, there is no doubt that Napoli will be desperate to build off of that result. Hoping to have drawn under what was an extended blip throughout February, Head Coach Luciano Spalletti is calling on his side to find some stability at the back end of this year s campaign. Watching their Europa League run come to an abrupt end thanks to a 5-3 defeat against Spanish giants Barcelona, the Blues have still lost just one of their previous eight matchups across all formats. Opening this week…

Yaya Toure s agent believes Pep Guardiola has humiliated the midfielder by leaving him out of Manchester City s Champions League squad.

Guardiola has made his mark with five wins from as many competitive matches at City, while also displaying a ruthless side by shipping a host of first-teamers, including Joe Hart and Samir Nasri, out on loan.

Toure, who left Guardiola s Barcelona to join City in 2010, remained at the Etihad Stadium after transfer deadline day but will play no part in the group stages of Europe s premier competition – standing as the odd-man out with 17 overseas players already in the squad.

The 33-year-old, whose only action so far this season came during the Champions League play-off tie against Steaua Bucharest, will not seek a January move a…

Bayern Munich s Arjen Robben felt the first half of Saturday s 5-1 win over Schalke was among the best since he arrived at the club in 2009.

Robben hit a hat-trick while David Alaba and Mario Mandzukic also registered in the dismantling of 10-man Schalke at the Allianz Arena as the German champions recorded a 15th consecutive Bundesliga win.

Pep Guardiola s side are now 48 matches unbeaten in the league and Robben felt, after seeing Bayern go four goals up within half an hour, that it was one of the best first-half performances he had seen at the club.

All credit to the team. We really enjoyed it. We played with so much passion. It was one of the best halves of football I ve seen since joining Bayern, the club s official website quotes him as saying.

What pace, …

However, assistant coach Carver is confident both players, who have 80 international caps between them, will be ready to feature in Munich on June 14.

There is a never-ending argument over who the greatest footballer of all time is.

It all depends on your perspective. People talk about Pele, Johan Cruyff, Diego Maradona, Ronaldinho, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo being candidates for the accolade.

The 38-year-old has finally called time on his playing career, having enjoyed a glittering career at both club and international level. He deserves more accolades, so I wrote this article. A tribute to Klose if you like!
