It would be the biggest signing in Premier League history, and if Manchester City pull it off, then Lionel Messi will be UK football’s star attraction for the next couple of years. At the beginning of the week, here at SBOTOP, we reported on Ronald Koeman’s appointment as Barcelona head coach, and he was confident of keeping the club’s talisman
Leeds United are back in the top-flight. It’s been a long time coming, but one of the English game’s grand old names has retaken its place among the elite. Under the brilliant guidance of head coach Marcelo Bielsa, Leeds United made their return to the Premier League after a 16-year absence, but it looks a rather different place than when they last
Bayern Munich vs Paris Saint-Germain The Estadio do Sport Lisboa will come alive on Sunday night as FC Bayern and Paris Saint-Germain battle it out for the 2020 Champions League title. There is a tinge of sadness that the magnificent stadium, which is home of Benfica, will be mostly empty as coronavirus dictates that football must still be played behind
When in years to come, we look back at the weirdest Premier League campaign of all time, our abiding memories will be of players celebrating in empty stadiums. Then we’ll remember the details and action from before the March 2020 lockdown, when the season was already three quarters finished. Liverpool were storming to their first top flight title in three
Who knew that the NBA bubble would be pierced not by the threat of COVID-19, but the virulent sickness called social injustice? Well, that was almost the case yesterday when the players, owners, and league office held back-and-forth meetings right after the Milwaukee Bucks and the Orlando Magic decided to boycott Game 5 of their first round series the other
Sevilla 3-2 Inter Milan The first half was barely midway through when acclaimed football write Henry Winter tweeted: ‘There’s a great game there in amongst the gamesmanship, arguing and players, coaches and subs trying to referee the game. Compelling viewing.’ He was right. Indeed, it was so frenetic and so compelling that the unsportsmanlike attitude of a few was just
The Premier League is back! And with eight games to look forward to over the opening weekend there’s plenty for us to get our teeth into. The first day of the season often throws up a few odd results and it’s the time when Premier League 2020 betting markets try to make sense of the summer transfer activity, as well
Paris Saint-Germain 0-1 Bayern Munich The Champions League Final – the pinnacle of football (nowadays even more so than the FIFA World Cup, according to this SBOBET observer) and an occasion to savour and light up Lisbon. For those pundits and fans who expected goals galore, the occasion was always going to be far too important for that. A clean

Bayern Munich 8-0 Schalke 04 And that’s why they’re Bundesliga champions! Less than a month after clinching the treble, here were the best team in Germany, in Europe and in the world flexing their muscles once more in their opening match of the 2020/21 campaign. On the day they said goodbye to Spanish midfielder Thiago, here was a reminder why
Chelsea vs Liverpool The first big Premier League clash of the new season and a home debut for at least two of Chelsea’s big-money signings. Believe it or not, since the start of the millennium this will actually be the 64th time the sides have met in all competitions, making it the most played fixture between English teams so far
Leicester City vs Burnley Leicester City and Burnley have history. They are former Championship foes and Premier League strugglers, but one thing they always provide is an all-action battle. So this is a fixture to look forward to as Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers and Clarets chief Sean Dyche are old mates from their time together at Watford. But while the
Leeds United vs Fulham Two newly promoted clubs clashing in the Premier League early on in the season and vying to get their first points on the board. To me, that all points to an entertaining contest. However, while both sides lost their openers last weekend, the difference in performance was telling. Fulham surrendered rather meekly at home to FA
Liverpool 4-3 Leeds United Well, this was a Premier League treat for the neutrals! An opening day classic to join the pantheon of other opening day crackers and produced Premier League 2020 highlights galore. Sure, some of the defensive play was well below par, but games like this often crop up on opening weekends and, if this is a sign
Valencia vs Levante It’s the big La Liga match of the weekend in Spain. Valencia vs Levante is a lively local derby with plenty of history and lots at stake in the present day. The hosts would normally expect to beat their neighbours at the Mestalla. But after a disappointing finish to the 2019/20 La Liga season, they start this
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Chelsea The cheque book at Stamford Bridge hasn’t closed for weeks as head coach Frank Lampard has swept up as much talent as he could fit in his squad.

Liverpool vs Leeds United The Premier League is back and what a match we have to kick off at Anfield, where Leeds United visit for their first top-flight game since 2004. It’s the Premier League champions against the Championship winners in a game both sets of fans will be desperate to see. The Reds have just won their first Premier
As far as La Liga transfer news is concerned, there’s only been one story in town this past fortnight. In fact, there has only been a story dominating the world football agenda and that now finally seems to have been resolved – for now at least. It means, for one season anyway, Lionel Messi will stay in Spain and try
