Chelsea striker Diego Costa has reached 50 Premier League goals faster than former Liverpool striker Luis Suarez – Barcelona’s current striker who Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal reportedly teased for losing to Juventus when both sides met at the El Clasico recently.
Chelsea saw off Southampton 4-2 at home on Tuesday. Diego Costa grabbed a brace in the game and also made a goalscoring record.
Costa is the eighth quickest player to break through the 50-goal mark in Premier League history. He does this a game fewer than Suarez. However, United legend Ruud van Nistelrooy, City star Sergio Aguero and Arsenal ex top goal poacher Thierry Henry did it in fewer games.
Andy Cole reached the milestone the quickest in 65 games. Magpies legend Alan Shearer did it a game more than Cole but it took Nistelrooy 68 matches. Liverpool former striker Fernando Torres made a feat when he reached the 50-goal mark in 72 games following his transfer from La Liga side Atletico Madrid. Read more »
Barcelona were shocked by their 2-1 loss to Deportivo during their trip to Estadio Riazor.
Luis Suarez had set-up the La Liga defending champions for a victory when he netted first but goals from Joselu and Alex Bergantinos ensured Barca got their third loss of the season.
The result ends the seven-game winning run of Barcelona in the league. It is surprising, considering that the team just produced the greatest comeback ever in the continent in the return leg against PSG.
Aside the painful loss for the club, Suarez would be hurt to see one of his stellar records gone. Before the game, the Uruguay international won every game that he scored in. It was one of the most astonishing records for Suarez since his 2013 move to Camp Nou. Read more »
Brazilian star Neymar has named Marcelo as the only Real Madrid player he wants to join Catalan giant Barcelona.
The gold Olympic medallist was interviewed by
CNN where he was asked which Madrid star he would like to play in Nou Camp. Cristiano Ronaldo would be an easy guess on the lips of many, considering his Euro 2016 title win and fourth Ballon d’Or win but surely personal grouse would never let that happen. The 24-year old opted for his compatriot Marcelo.
The left back has been with Santiago Bernabeu for years now. Both stars play for Brazil and are friends.
“To play with me at Barcelona? I would pick Marcelo. Because he’s my friend,” Neymar responded.
When asked to reconsider, he insisted: “No, I’d pick Marcelo.”
Despite the personal issues, the Brazilian praised the trio of Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema at Real. Read more »
Manchester United are seen as the favourites to sign Luis Suarez if the former Liverpool player were to return to England, according to the bookies.
The Barcelona star is comfortable in Spain after moving there for £75 million in 2014 from Liverpool. However, the bookies in a shocking revelation claim he would join the struggling United side ahead of other options if he were to consider a return to the English Premier League.
Suarez has lifted the UEFA Champions League title and two La Liga titles since his move to Spain. He has earned a total of eight honours since moving to the Nou Camp two years ago. Due to the frustrations in the front attack line at Old Trafford, Don Balon sensationally reported that the Red Devils management were considering splashing as much as £135 million to lure the 29-year old prolific striker back to England.
Bookies Ladbrokes also claimed that United had a 4/1 chance of signing the player. Of four games in October United struggled to get just one goal. This might force Jose Mourinho to look for a striker that can surely end their woes upfront. Suarez is one of the few players in the world that will definitely make a difference, hence the link. Surely, it might not be an offer the Uruguayan would be willing to consider at this stage of his career. Read more »
Chile international Alexis Sanchez is set to lose his position as striker in the Arsenal squad, with reports that the Gunners have finally landed a forward from Deportivo La Caruna.
Lucas Perez has been on the club’s radar for long, but with the transfer deadline closing in a few days, Arsenal signed him to join Olivier Giroud in leading the attack.
Sanchez has been playing the position, since the poor run of form of Frenchman Giroud, with coach Arsene Wenger claiming the former Barcelona star player has all the requires qualities to play upfront. Wenger compared him to La Liga golden boot holder and former Reds Striker Luis Suarez.
“He has similar qualities [to Suarez] and he has a good timing to run behind the defenders,” Wenger said in defence of the Chilean in the role. Former Reds striker Emile Heskey also hailed Suarez, asking that Liverpool get a player of Suarez’s quality to try to replace him, as he believes he cannot be replaced. When asked if Sanchez could play in the role in the long term, he said:
