Napoli goalkeeper hits out at referee and VAR: ‘Today’s football is a farce’
Napoli goalkeeper Nikita Contini has launched a scathing social media attack on modern refereeing and VAR following his team’s 2-1 loss to Atalanta. Napoli’s Nikita Contini has sparked controversy by labeling modern football a “farce” following a heated 2-1 defeat to Atalanta. The Partenopei were left incensed after referee Daniele Chiffi overturned a first-half penalty and disallowed a Rasmus Hojlund goal. Contini expressed his nostalgia for a more physical era on Instagram, writing: “How beautiful real football was… Real clashes, real hits, insults, real tackles, real refereeing.” The defeat leaves Napoli third in Serie A, level with Roma. Contini’s outburst also highlighted frustrations over away fan bans currently affecting several Italian clubs. Criticizing the current state of the game and the impact of technology, the goalkeeper added: “What a farce today’s football is. Football is a serious matter; otherwise, we might as well take up dancing.” -
Pep Guardiola rule out Man City trio for Newcastle visit
Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Erling Haaland is in contention to face Newcastle United this weekend, though the Citizens will be without Jeremy Doku, Josko Gvardiol, and Mateo Kovacic for the Premier League encounter.
Pep Guardiola has provided a crucial squad update ahead of Manchester City’s Premier League clash with Newcastle United.
Top scorer Erling Haaland is expected to feature despite recent fitness concerns that saw him rested last week.
However, the champions will be without Jeremy Doku, who has been ruled out. Additionally, Croatian duo Josko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic remain sidelined, facing races to return before the season ends.
Newcastle United travel to the Etihad Stadium seeking a historic first-ever Premier League away victory against the Citizens.
Eddie Howe’s side previously defeated City in November and hope to capitalize on the hosts’ defensive shortages, including a doubt over youngster Max Alleyne.
Despite Haaland’s availability, his record against the Magpies remains poor, having scored just one goal in nine appearances since arriving from Borussia Dortmund.

“You are an idiot! A child who became a coach yesterday!” Massimiliano Allegri hit out at Cesc Fabregas
AC Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri launched a scathing verbal attack on Como coach Cesc Fabregas after a controversial 1-1 draw on Wednesday night.
The tension erupted when Fabregas physically pulled back Milan’s Alexis Saelemaekers from the touchline to thwart a counter-attack.
Allegri, incensed by the interference, was sent off during the ensuing melee.
Post-match, the Milan boss reportedly branded Fabregas an “idiot” and a “child,” later fuming, “In that case next time I see someone run past me, I’ll just go into a sliding tackle.”
Fabregas quickly issued an apology for his unsporting behavior, admitting the provocation was a mistake.
“I apologise, it was just a little touch and Allegri’s response was exaggerated, but I admit I shouldn’t have done it,” the Spaniard confessed.
The result leaves Milan trailing rivals Inter by seven points in the title race, while Como moves into a surprising sixth place.

Opta Supercomputer picks Champions League winner amid knockout drama
The Opta supercomputer has identified Arsenal as the primary favorite to secure their maiden Champions League title following a dominant league phase.
Arsenal leads the projections with a 26.86% chance of victory, bolstered by eight consecutive wins. Bayern Munich follows at 15.19%, despite recent domestic struggles.
Premier League giants Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea round out the top five. Interestingly, the data suggests Newcastle holds a 4.47% chance of glory, notably higher than Real Madrid’s 3.10% likelihood as the knockout stages intensify.
In the playoff round, Newcastle is virtually guaranteed a last-16 spot with a 99.77% progression chance after thrashing Qarabağ 6–1.
Conversely, Inter Milan faces an uphill battle with only a 42.62% chance of advancing following a 3–1 loss to Bodø/Glimt.
Despite their underdog status, the Norwegian side’s recent form against elite clubs proves no lead is insurmountable in Europe’s premier competition.

Man Utd issue instant response to sensational Jurgen Klopp approach claims
Manchester United has strongly denied claims from Jürgen Klopp’s agent that they attempted to hire the former Liverpool boss, maintaining that no official or informal contact ever took place.
Manchester United has officially denied making any approach for Jürgen Klopp following his departure from Liverpool in 2024.
The club’s rebuttal follows a “bombshell” interview with Klopp’s agent, Marc Kosicke, who claimed that United and Chelsea were among the Premier League giants that inquired about the German’s availability.
United sources, as reported by the Manchester Evening News, firmly dismissed the suggestion, insisting no contact was made with Klopp or his representatives.
The denial comes at a sensitive time for the Red Devils as they continue to navigate their long-term managerial strategy under INEOS.
While Kosicke told Transfermarkt that “even Chelsea and Manchester United inquired,” United have moved swiftly to clarify that Klopp was never on their shortlist.
The club’s stance reinforces Klopp’s own public pledge to never manage another English team, a commitment his agent acknowledged by adding, “Jürgen had clearly stated that he would not coach any other club in England.”
1. Match Summary
Atalanta convincingly defeated Borussia Dortmund 4-1 in a dominant performance. The match saw early goals from Scamacca and Zappacosta put Atalanta in control. While Dortmund pulled one back late through Adeyemi, a late penalty converted by Samardzic sealed the victory for Atalanta. The game was marred by a late red card for Dortmund's Bensebaini, adding to their woes. Key moments included Scamacca's early opener and the flurry of substitutions in the second half as Dortmund attempted to claw back into the game.
2. Team Performance Analysis
Atalanta: Atalanta were the more clinical side, converting a higher percentage of their chances (7 shots on goal from 13 total). Despite having less possession (44% vs Dortmund's 56%), they were more effective in the final third, getting 11 shots inside the box. Their passing accuracy of 78% was solid, and they capitalized on their opportunities. The fouls committed (17) suggest a more aggressive, physical approach.
Borussia Dortmund: Dortmund dominated possession (56%) and completed more passes (515 vs Atalanta's 394) with a slightly better passing accuracy (80%). However, they lacked the cutting edge in attack, managing only 4 shots on goal from 7 attempts. Their xG of 0.93 reflects a lack of high-quality chances created. The three yellow cards and eventual red card indicate a lack of discipline and frustration as the game slipped away. They struggled to penetrate Atalanta's defense, with only 2 shots coming from outside the box.
