Just hours before Cucurella had repeated several times in media interviews that he did not want to be distracted by club news while away at the World Cup and added that he had spoken with Chelsea's new manager Xabi Alonso and had taken a great deal of confidence from that conversation.

The curtain has now closed on the 2025-26 Premier League season‚ with Arsenal pipping Manchester City to the title‚ Tottenham surviving on the final day and Sunderland staging an impressive late surge to qualify for the Europa League. The 'Team of the Season' debate is often one which dominates discussion at the end of a campaign‚ with fans‚ pundits and ex-players all keen to give the performers they viewed as best their flowers. Sky Sports pundits Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville picked an almost identical best XI on the final Monday Night Football of the season last week‚ with the inclusion of Igor Thiago over Jeremy Doku proving the only difference between them.

On Friday at Auchenhowie‚ Danny Rohl took a straight bat to the question he would have known was coming. The final Old Firm clash of the season was all about making his own supporters proud and nothing to do with how taking something from it would adversely impact the opposition. It was a valiant attempt at diplomacy‚ but he was fooling no one. From the instant Hearts defeated Rangers last Monday to all but end the title challenge of the Ibrox club‚ the only concern among fans of Rohl's side has been that Celtic did not get what they could not have.

IAN LADYMAN AT THE ETIHAD: On this evidence - and on the back of what we saw as they rescued a point at Everton last Monday - City will not help Mikel Arteta 's team over the line. So now the baton - the burden of responsibility - passes to north London again. Now it's Arsenal's turn to answer questions at West Ham on Sunday. As City showed here at a tense and nervy Etihad Stadium‚ victories do not come easy when the stakes are this high. City deserved to win here in the end but not as comfortably as the scoreline suggested.

Monday night was why Pep Guardiola had been railing against the idea that Manchester City's experience would prove the defining element of this title race. Thirteen minutes of madness. Thirteen minutes when the calm heads went wandering off elsewhere. The past is the past‚ City's boss always says‚ and that they have hauled in Premier League leaders in such dramatic circumstances before offered no guarantee that history would repeat itself with half a new team not in possession of the muscle memory many presume is at their disposal on tap. Monday's troubles on the banks of the Mersey had felt somewhat signposted over the past fortnight. Requiring a late comeback to edge out Southampton at Wembley and before that‚ only grinding out a one-goal win over doomed Burnley. For whatever reason‚ the rhythm was not quite flowing in the way it had through the first half of April.

While Ronaldo is by far the bigger name - one of global phenomenon as more than just a footballer - Fernandes is now equal. Equal in terms of on-field success at United by the way of goal contributions. His assist for Benjamin Sesko against Everton on Monday night saw Fernandes clock his 140th goal or assist or the club in the Premier League ‚ which is the same as Ronaldo. And‚ perhaps surprisingly‚ he did it in 10 fewer games‚ and will now almost certainly fly past his international colleague. But who is the bigger United legend? How do the two careers - albeit of difference lengths - compare? Daily Mail Sport takes a closer look.

The reasons why Harry Maguire has been given an extra one-game ban following his red card at Bournemouth last month can be revealed‚ after the Football Association released the findings of their disciplinary hearing. Maguire was shown a straight red card in the 78th minute of Manchester United's 2-2 draw at Bournemouth in the Premier League on March 20 following a foul on Evanilson. As a result of that incident he missed Monday night's abject 2-1 home defeat by bitter rivals Leeds United.

Harry Maguire is set to be given a one-match ban - ruling him out of Manchester United's game at Chelsea - with the Football Association upholding his misconduct charge for swearing at a fourth official. Maguire was sent off at Bournemouth last month and missed Monday's defeat by Leeds United through suspension - but now faces a further one-match ban. United are already likely to be without Lisandro Martinez‚ who is facing a three-match ban for a red card of his own against Leeds. That means their centre back pairing for Saturday's Premier League game away at Chelsea could be made up of 20-year-old Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven‚ 19.

Lisandro Martinez's red card for pulling Dominic Calvert-Lewin's ponytail proved costly on Monday night as Manchester United fell to a 2-1 defeat against bitter rivals Leeds at Old Trafford. Although hair pulling is not explicitly mentioned in the laws of the game‚ it is deemed 'violent conduct' regardless of intent or severity‚ which often leads to huge backlash among fans‚ players and managers over 'soft' dismissals. The controversial red card at Old Trafford followed intervention from VAR official John Brooks‚ who advised referee Paul Tierney to review the incident after spotting the hair pull on Calvert-Lewin.

IAN HERBERT AT ANFIELD: Hope sprang eternal because this is Anfield‚ the partisan‚ stubbornly inhospitable place where European comebacks have become an art form and folk memory. Long before kick-off‚ they were‚ of course‚ dialling down the list of clubs who had arrived here with an advantage and left with nothing: Barcelona 2019‚ Olympiacos 2004‚ right back to St Etienne 1977‚ when a skinny-legged David Fairclough danced through the French midfield and sent Liverpool on into a European Cup they won. This challenge seemed every bit as great as those because‚ although Galatasaray brought a mere one-goal advantage‚ something at the heart of Liverpool is malfunctioning. A club whose glories have always been based on the collective is suddenly a group of moving parts. 'Not a team but a team of individuals‚ as Jamie Carragher put it in a searing and significant analysis on Sky's Monday Night Football this week‚ after the late capitulation to Tottenham Hotspur which in so many ways felt like a defeat.

Arne Slot had been invited on Monday to offer a view on the standard of the Premier League and‚ listening to his 'football heart'‚ he explained how he wasn't enjoying what he was seeing. Well‚ he didn't enjoy this - not in the slightest. Liverpool‚ on a charmless night‚ had played as conservatively as a batsman eschewing boundaries in favour of the occasional poked single‚ trying to nudge their tally forward‚ but ended up having their stumps knocked out of the ground. What a triumph this was for Wolves - deserved‚ too. There hasn't been much cheer around here this season but Rob Edwards has done super work since coming in as manager‚ restoring pride and picking up some terrific results but this late‚ late show was the best of the lot.

They are now only three points behind Aston Villa‚ who are third. It was United's first appearance at Everton's magnificent new Hill Dickinson Stadium and they did not waste any time breaking their duck here.

Now imagine being paid nearly half a million pounds every day and still walking out in protest. That is exactly what the world's richest footballer‚ Cristiano Ronaldo‚ is doing ahead of Al-Nassr's Saudi Pro League clash with local rivals Al-Riyadh on Monday. Despite banking more in a single week than most people will earn in a lifetime - approximately £3.4million - the Portuguese icon has proved that even unimaginable wealth does not guarantee happiness in the workplace.
