Coentrao set to return to Madrid before the end of the season?

Portuguese defender Fabio Coentrao is set to return to Madrid before the end of the season as his current club Sporting Portugal will terminate his loan deal, according to a report from A Bola. Apparently, Coentrao is leading some kind of rebellion against Sporting’s president and will leave the club imminently.

Everything started after Sporting’s match against Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Europe League. Sporting’s president was very critic towards his players and they soon started to comment on the matter as well on their social platforms. 18 players have been suspended and coach Jorge Jesus will have to trust his academy players this weekend.

Coentrao’s case makes things easier for Sporting as he is just there on a loan deal. He will not be allowed to play for Madrid this season as Los Blancos didn’t register him last January. Coentrao is under contract through 2019 and Real Madrid will have to find him a new home next season unless they decide to keep him around, something highly unlikely. Sporting were reportedly affording 90% of Coentrao’s contract with Madrid, so Los Blancos will have to take care of his contract from now on if the Portuguese defender ends up making his return to Los Blancos as reported.

Manchester City win the Community Shield 2018 as Sergio Aguero sinks Chelsea in 2-0 Wembley win

It was meant to be an afternoon where Maurizio Sarri could show that Chelsea had significantly progressed from the Antonio Conte side which was embarrassed at Manchester City in March, but it was not to be. Instead it was same-old City and same-old stars as Sergio Aguero bagged his 200th and 201st goals for the club while Chelsea dearly missed N’Golo Kante in midfield and, following an impressive pre-season, new arrival Jorginho struggled to make his mark. The champions picked up where they left off last season, ferociously pressing Sarri’s side with chances falling to both new signing Riyad Mahrez and Leroy Sane in the opening minutes. The Blues were under the cosh from the off, looking to play out from the back with the tireless Jorginho the lynchpin, but City kept on coming.

Zidane: “We will not give Barcelona a guard of honour”

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane revealed that his team will not give Barcelona a traditional guard of honour if the two teams meet right after Barcelona become La Liga Champions. “We will not give a guard of honour, this is my decision,” said Zidane when asked about the matter. “Barcelona didn’t follow the tradition when we won the Club World Cup. This is my decision,” he added. Zidane is clearly stating that this is not something decided by the club in order to protect Real Madrid from potential criticism. Barcelona gave Real Madrid a guard of honour back in 2008 but they said that they would not do the same thing this past winter when Madrid conquered the Club World Cup. Nobody knows whether Los Blancos will finally face Barcelona under the circumstances which could make Madrid give said guard of honour, but it’s now clear that Zidane and his men will not hear anything about it.
