Paris Saint-Germain began the process of putting another Champions League collapse behind them as they eased to a 4-0 Ligue 1 win at relegation-threatened Dijon.

Thomas Tuchel s men have again been left to lick their wounds following a European disappointment after surrendering a 2-0 first-leg lead against Manchester United in the last 16, losing 3-1 at Parc des Princes last week.

The inquest into their latest meltdown in Europe s biggest club competition will go on, but PSG did at least continue their procession to another Ligue 1 title in style at Stade Gaston-Gerard on Tuesday.

Kylian Mbappe, who said he has had trouble sleeping in the aftermath of the United defeat, had a goal sandwiched by fine finishes from Marquinhos and Angel Di Maria the latter a wonderf…

Mesut Ozil s decision to retire from international football as a result of feeling persecuted by the German Football Federation (DFB) has left their former president Theo Zwanziger deeply saddened .

Arsenal midfielder Ozil released a three-part statement on Sunday, addressing the criticism he has come under in recent months following his meeting with Turkey s controversial president Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

While the German media, sponsors and even some fans were targeted by Ozil – who has Turkish roots – in his letter, current DFB president Reinhard Grindel bore the brunt of the midfielder s fury.

Grindel was accused of incompetence, belittling Ozil s Turkish heritage and scapegoating the playmaker for Germany s World Cup group stage exit, while the 29-year-ol…

Gamba Osaka will meet Guangzhou Evergrande in the AFC Champions League semi-finals after a 3-2 victory over Jeonbuk Motors on Wednesday.

J.League champions Gamba, ACL winners in 2008, needed a stoppage-time winner from Koki Yonekura to seal their progression in the second leg, snatching victory from the grasp of their South Korean opponents.

After a goalless first leg, it was Jeonbuk who struck first in Suita as Leonardo converted a 13th-minute penalty, but Patric immediately levelled amid comical Gamba defending from a free-kick which saw an attempted offside trap hopelessly fail.

Shu Kurata looked to have put Osaka in the last four with a strike with 14 minutes to play, until Urko Vera levelled for the visitors, giving them the advantage via the away-goals rule…

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany said the Premier League champions must keep kicking neighbours Manchester United while they are down as the Red Devils continue to struggle following Alex Ferguson s retirement.

United have not won the Premier League since 2012-13 – Ferguson s final season at Old Trafford – with City enjoying a change in momentum and dominance in Manchester.

Pep Guardiola s record-breaking City finished 19 points clear of United last season, while Jose Mourinho s side have lost two of their opening three matches this season.

Kompany feels some sympathy for United, though he wants City to take advantage in the quest for more silverware.

Huddersfield Town are interested in signing Leeds United goalkeeper Robert Green, according to the Mail Online.

Terriers boss David Wagner is keen to bring in competition for Jonas Lossl, who recently arrived at the club on loan from Bundesliga side Mainz and kept clean sheets in both of the side’s league games so far.

Green played every minute of Leeds’ 2016/17 Championship campaign though he hasn’t featured in the league so far this season following Felix Weidwald’s arrival from Werder Bremen.

Former England international Green moved to Leeds from Queens Park Rangers in the summer of 2016 after four seasons at Loftus Road while he has also played for West Ham United and Norwich City.

He was capped twelve times for England, with one of thos…

Jack Cork says his switch from Southampton to Swansea City has made him feel valued again.

The midfielder joined Southampton from Chelsea in 2011, having previously enjoyed a loan spell at St Mary s Stadium during the first half of the 2008-2009 season.

However, Cork fell down the pecking order under Ronald Koeman this term and made just five starts before moving to Swansea in the last transfer window.

The 25-year-old has since become an integral part of Garry Monk s side and Swansea, who are eighth, are just four points adrift of Cork s former club with a game in hand to come against Arsenal on Monday.

Some people said I was going backwards, but for me it was about someone wanting me a bit more,  Cork told The South Wales Evening Post.

Making their final preparations before heading into this summer s delayed European Championships, France will welcome Bulgaria to Paris for a friendly showdown on Tuesday night.

Starting with the hosts, eventually cruising their way to a 3-0 romp against Wales on home soil last week, it is no surprise that France are one of the standout picks heading into the summer. With a star-studded squad that includes the likes of PSG talisman Kylian Mbappe, there is no doubt that Head Coach Didier Deschamps will be hoping for the returning Karim Benzema to reopen his international account on Tuesday night. Despite missing a penalty against The Dragons in Paris last week, it was…

Cristiano Ronaldo said his superb hat-trick against Atletico Madrid to send Juventus into the quarter-finals of the Champions League is why the club bought him.

Ronaldo has won the Champions League four times in the past five seasons with Real Madrid but joined Juve in a deal worth €112million ahead of the 2018-19 season.

The Portugal superstar only scored once in the group stage, while he was also sent off against Valencia, but delivered in style to complete a stunning comeback against Atletico on Tuesday.

Diego Simeone s side led 2-0 thanks to goals from defenders Jose Gimenez and Diego Godin in the first leg but they crumbled in the face of Ronaldo s unstoppable aerial power in the return fixture.

Yaya Toure conceded he is worried about how Napoli s partisan crowd might fire up their players in Wednesday s Champions League clash with Manchester City.

The Premier League pacesetters beat Napoli 2-1 at Etihad Stadium on October 17, but Napoli showed plenty to suggest they will be an even tougher opponent on home soil.

City have started the season well, but so have Maurizio Sarri s men, as they sit top of Serie A with 31 points after 11 matches, and are playing some of the most eye-catching football in Europe.

But in the Champions League Napoli have just three points from as many matches, compared to City s haul of nine, meaning the game will take on extra importance for the hosts.

And Toure is expecting the home fans to create a hostile atmosphere for…
