Wednesday would be an entertaining encounter with both Arsenal and Chelsea locking horns at Europe.

Both teams had an underwhelming campaign as Arsenal finished outside the top four and Chelsea needing a slip from Tottenham to finish third.

With all the nerves raised and speculation concerning the future of Maurizio Sarri, the Italian can at least take a sigh of relief for reaching the final and having an opportunity to silence his critics but can he do that without a fight especially with Europa League expert Unai Emery?

For sure, many have tipped Chelsea as the favorites to lift the trophy but there are many reasons why Gunnar fans should be optimistic of them lifting the league and automatically qualifying for the Champions League next season.....

Messi have on numerous occasions be praised for his heroics in the field but have escaped blamed when things goes wrong but former Barcelona and Madrid forward Ronaldo says that the Argentine superstar should also take part of the blame when things goes wrong for Barcelona.

Manchester United have agreed terms with Juventus in 'principal' of 100 million pounds transfer of Paulo Dybala.

With United out of the Champions League next season, there are still some great news to the fans who have seen their club currently in a bit of a funk.

At best, they are experiencing a slump of form and seem impotent under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. At worse, they seemed to have ran out of ideas as was shown in the Huddersfield game of which they drew 1-1 but that haven't stopped the club from making some big deals.

There have been some suggestions that their inability to participate in the Champions League next season would basically be a blow in their ability.......

It wouldn't be a surprise to many if Alexis Sanchez is to depart Manchester United at the end of the season but the question still remains if Sanchez was cursed before his transfer to Old Trafford.

Footballers falls spectacularly but the case of Alexis in United shirt is what everyone haven't understood because we all know he is a class and a beast.

The stats even speak for themselves. In the 166 matches he played for the Gunners, he scored 80 goals and assisted a further 45. In other words, he was directly involved in a goal in 3 out of 4 matches he played. In his last full season at Arsenal, he ended up scoring 30 goals across competitions – a career best for him but he has been a forgotten man at Old Trafford and that must have motivated United to push hard in snatching him away from their noisy neighbours.

No one expected Liverpool to lose the way they lost to barcelona without even scoring a single goal at Camp Nou but the question still remains if they can overturn the 3-0 deficit after star man Mohamed salah have been ruled out of the second leg at Anfield.

It's been a good season for Liverpool who are after the Premier League title after suffering so many setbacks in recent years. Klopp knew resting his players against Newcastle might be disastrous with City taking on leicester on Monday, and one option he had was to go with full strength with his selection , a decision which backfired as talisman salah suffered a concussion late in the game.

Days are gone when players stick to a club and shows their loyalty with almost all young generation of players preferring trophies to respect. it's not to say loyalty can't be found among players this days but the truth is it's rare.

1: He is happy at Barcelona.

One thing every player considers before any decisions concerning transferring to other club is his happiness and that is not lacking at Barcelona.

The manager came with huge reputation with his brand of football compared to that of Pep Guardiola at Manchester City but he is under intense pressure with potential sacking is looming but the Blues should consider not sacking the Italian coach.

It's been a frustrating campaign for the London club with Maurizio Sarri's future in a major doubt. The Italian boss have seen his future called into questions after some poor results have seen them stay 3 points bhind the top four after 28 games played.

They started the season strongly and his brand of football was praised but after that Arsenal defeat , followed by a 4-0 humiliation by Bournemouth and another heavy 6-0 defeat from City, there were rumours he would be fired sooner than later.

That City defeat was too catastrophic to hold but they have also exited the FA Cup and EFL Cup respectively and any hope of getting taking any silverware this season have been dashed.

Paul pogba is in contention to become Manchester United midfielder reports the Sun

Pogba seemed to be the skipper of United this season until he questioned the tactics of his manager and the armband was taken away from him by the angry mourinho who was sacked last year december.

Paul Pogba was told by Jose Mourinho that he was not fit to captain Manchester United – but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sees the midfielder as a leader and would have no hesitation in handing him the armband.

The Reds recent win over Watford gives the fans some big boost, but with 10 games remaining, we expect lots of dramas, and probably some surprises to keep things interesting but the question is if Liverpool can hold on to win the League.

As much as I want to include Tottenham in the title race, I just couldn’t picture them lifting the trophy or be competitive enough to say the least. They are currently sitting third in the league, with 8 and 9 points deficit from Manchester city and Liverpool (respectively), which they will play against next month (both are away games). Playing against City at Etihad and Liverpool at Anfield? no chance. Let’s say if they somehow manage to win both games, they will still be 5 and 6 points behind.

HAAHAHAHAHAHAHA...SAINTSAMI

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga refused to be substituted in the recent Carabao cup final to the chagrin of coach Sarri, and this has raised so many questions about soccer-football substitution.

One question all football fans have been asking is 'if players can refuse substitution'. well, Goalcliq is here to explain everything in details for the fans.

There have not been many instances of footballers declining to be substituted as it demonstrates a power battle between the player and coach and it causes undesirable breakdown in the relationship.

The La Liga reigning champion completed the signing of the Dutch and Ajax midfielder this winter but how beneficial would he be to the club?

Barcelona signings in recent years have failed them massively with names like Denis Suarez and Andre Gomes having not made it at the Catalan club. Philippe Coutinho is another name to mention though the potential is there for all to see so labelling him a flop would be too early but the reality is he's ben disappointing.

Ousmane Dembele have saved himself from that category after he started his Barcelona career in slow form with many fearing he might be another waste of talent but thanks to his sparkling form which have seen him grow big in confidence with every match that comes his way.

Now enters Frenkie de jong, another emerging talent scouted by many elite clubs but he decided to sign for Barcelona for €75m. He's inexperienced and haven't played at the highest level but the talent ids there for all to see an many would hope he wouldn't fall into the category of the players that never made it at Barcelona.

Following the loss of the EFL cup against Manchester City on Sunday, Goalcliq analyse Sarri's future, his tactics and recent controversy caused by Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Chelsea lost the game after a penalty shootout that saw City come out on top with Sterling last kick giving the Citizens the edge against their london rivals but the match couldn't end without some magic as Chelsea keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga embarrassed his coach in front of the world as he refused to be substituted.

The club fined the young Spanish forward afterwards and the Italian coach also was adamant to guarantee him a starting place in their next game against Tottenham.

Goalcliq therefore took out time to analyse the game bit by bit and wonders whether the Chelsea coach have lost control of his squad.

When Coutinho became Barcelona’s club-record signing at 160 million Euros after a long, drawn out transfer saga, he was touted to be a replacement for Andres Iniesta but his performance had made many wondering whether the Catalan club made a huge mistake by signing him.

Signed as a long-term replacement for Andres Iniesta, who joined Japanese side Vissel Kobe at the end of last season, Coutinho played a key role in helping Barca win the domestic double in his first half-season at the club.

The Brazilian opened his goalscoring account in a 2-0 victory over Valencia in the Copa del Rey semi-final second leg in February and finished the campaign strongly, scoring 10 goals and making six assists in his last 16 appearances of 2017-18.

He scored one and set up another in Barcelona's resounding 5-0 victory over Sevilla in the Copa del Rey final - Barcelona's first trophy under Ernesto Valverde - before getting six goals in his final five league outings to help the club win La Liga by 14 points.

It has largely been a different story so far this season, however...

any players have graced the field but the saddest of it all have been those who misused nd wasted their talents.

As always, Goalcliq tries to excite it's fans with the best possible news and today, we have compiled the names of talented footballers who failed to make it at the top level after having the whole world at their feet.

Luis Nani

He’s definitely not the most wasted football talent because he’s actually had a decent career but I feel he never reached his full potential which is a shame considering how good he can be on his day. I’m talking about former Manchester United winger Luis Nani.

Known for his beautiful brand of football, the Italian have failed to live up to standard since joining from the Naples as his tactics have failed him on many occasions as he lacks technical-no-how.

But why hasn't he reached the height he reached with napoli last season in his new club?

The main factor stopping Sarri’s Chelsea side from becoming like his Napoli side is the squad. Chelsea’s squad has been an issue this season; in terms of quality, tactics and mentality.

Squad – Quality and Tactics

Sarri has been attempting to stamp his tactics on this team, but some of the players are simply not good enough or don’t fit this playing style. Players like Davide Zappacosta, Danny Drinkwater, Gary Cahill, Willian and Olivier Giroud are not good enough to be in the squad at the moment.

The goalkeeper refusal to be substituted shows Sarri has lost player's respect.

The EFL tie ended in City's favour as Sterling scored the decisive penalty that gave Pep Guardiola's men the trophy but the match didn't end without a moment of madness.

Sarri's future have been in serious doubt and there were rumours of players losing their trust in his style of play.

To make matters worse, reports earlier this week said that Zidane have handed the club his wish list if he's to be their manager with yhe same report indicating Sarri would be sacked if he don't win this EFL encounter.

With United hosting Liverpool on sunday in what could be a heated after with the history of their Rivalry, Goalcliq explain to it's fan why both clubs hates each other with passion.

The rivalry between both clubs has a 120 years history and is one of football oldest and fiercest rivalry.

The hatred/rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester united is by far England's most notable one.

It is also known as the North West derby and started as far back as 28th April 1894 when the two clubs met for the first time with Liverpool winning 2:0.

Ever since then, matches involving both teams are always tough with bad blood running between them.

So, why don't Liverpool fans begrudge City supporters too? And why don't Utd fans hold a grudge against Everton? The answer lies in both teams' history and heritage of success, and the fact that they each have a long-running expectation of winning trophies—often at the expense of one another.

The hatred also extends to the English National football team where Liverpool players eat on one table and Manchester united players eat on another table whenever they are in international engagement but the question is, why do they hate each other?....

Jupp Heynckes unsurprisingly was sacked in 1998 soon after the Champions League Cup triumph though then president president Lorenzo Sanz said Hynckes called his players son of bitches, implying he couldn't work with.

Prior to his exit after giving the Liga Champions a Champions League crown with Predrag Mijatovic scoring at that encounter, Heynckes told Sanz that the players he has at his disposal are 'sons of bitches' and he won't work with them anymore. Explaining that encounter with Heynckes in an interview with the Idolos programme, Sanz said....

any one who believed it should not be blamed blc it was a viral lie...i just hope they can read this article and understand it was just a tale.

Growing up in Nigeria with tale of the match that never happened between India and Nigeria is the funniest and craziest story i have ever told.

i was made to know that India was banned from football because they used black magic to beat us 99-1 with Sam Okwaraji dieing in the process but how true was this?

Obviously, I once believed it to be true because I have never seen Indian in the FIFA World Cup. I also haven't seen their players ply their trade in European leagues and that makes the story seemed to be true.

Who ever faked that story must be a ' Genius in lies' because as a boy, it made me really hate India as a country and I am sure most of the naive people who might have heard this story must also hate the name though it was a story that never happened...

Chelsea fans showed their dissatisfaction towards Maurizio Sarri and his philosophy against Manchester United as some sections of the fans were heard shouting 'F*uck Sarriball'.

One thing is to hate a coach and another is to hate his brand of football but the reality is that Chelsea supporters are fed up with the both Sarriball and the stubborn Italian manager.

When Maurizio Sarri was confirmed as Chelsea new head coach ahead of the 2018/2019 season, Chelsea fans welcomed his arrivals in spectacular fashion. Having known for playing defensive game and employing defensive coaches like Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, there were optimism that Sarri who was known with his attacking style of play will change the philosophy of the club to look like a side managed by Pep Guardiola.

Paul Pogba have been a revelation this season after the sacking of former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.

Since joining the club from Juventus last three season, the World Cup winner have not reached the height expected of him though he has had some moments for himself.

This season was nearly drastic in his career after falling out with the sacked Portuguese manager. Mourinho had wanted more from his talented midfielder but his criticism of the Frenchman generated headlines and the outspoken midfielder couldn't hold back and the war began.

After the Liverpool defeat in which Pogba was dropped by Mourinho, the club couldn't take what they were seeing any more and Mourinho was shown the exit door.

No one would have expected Pogba to hit the form he is right now but the appointment of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as his successor have overseen a drastic change in their fortune of the club and the players. In around 2 months since taking over, the former Cardiff boss has taken United from 6th to 4th in the league, a feat that looked impossible under the reign of Mourinho with the Portuguese himself even claiming at one of his press conference it would be a miracle for United to see themselves there.

The Premier League season is nearly over but Maurizio Sarri's future seemed hanging in the balance following a season that has saw his side lost almost to all the teams in the top four.

They are also languishing in 6th position in the table after some bad displays that resulted in slipping down from the table. Adding to the turbulence is manager Maurizio Sarri, under immense pressure to deliver but making it clear his players are difficult to motivate.

Now, with the pressure mounting and with rivals City and Liverpool looking a far more complete assembled squad, the odds on Sarri getting sacked have been slashed with Zinedine Zidane the potential candidate to take the hot seat.....
