Is Griezmann really worth all the fuss for Barcelona?
Barcelona may well kick off the new season with Neymar and Antoine Griezmann up front alongside Lionel Messi in a remodelled front three, but the indications from Catalonia are that they can only afford one of them this summer and, if they had to choose, then the priority would be re-signing Neymar. The Brazilian might be seen in some quarters as damaged goods but he still has plenty of allies in the Barca dressing room, including the captain Messi. Neymar has a proven track record at Barca, having won the 2015 Champions League, and would be welcomed back even if the complexity of the deal is epic in its scale.

The World Cup-winning midfielder will be sticking around at the Santiago Bernabeu, with another 12 months added to his terms in the Spanish capital Toni Kroos has committed his future to Real Madrid by agreeing a contract extension through to 2023.

Arsenal wins 3-1, and already looks at the final.
London and the Emirates stadium were ready for a European night of football, and Arsenal and Valencia did not want to disappoint the fans. Both teams offered a great show, with direct and vibrant football during the 90 plus minutes. The game started really well for Valencia.

Arsenal’s squad did not know how to react and Valencia looked very confortable, stealing the ball with ease and creating chances with counterattacks. In the 9th minute Diakhaby jumped over the defenders to put the ball inside the net for the 0-1. The initiative of the game did not change until Lacazette’s goal in the 18th minute. This goal gave Arsenal courage to start moving the ball ...
Sara Serrat, la portera que escribe relatos
Sara Serrat (Huelva, 1995) trabaja como monitora de deportes en la cárcel de Huelva. Es la portera del Sporting de Huelva de la Liga Iberdrola, equipo con el que entrena cuatro veces a la semana. Tiene una escuela de porteros en la ciudad andaluza y acaba de presentar, además, un libro de relatos titulado Parando Letras.
