Liverpool set a new club record of 34 shots without scoring in a Premier League game when they drew a blank in their 0-0 draw with Manchester United. Having won 7-0 in this fixture last season, Liverpool were fancied to run riot against United but Erik ten Hag's side defended resolutely and, despite conceding a whopping 34 shots, ultimately walked away with a share of the spoils. As noted by Opta , not since records began in 2003/04 have Liverpool ever had so many shots without scoring in a Premier League game. It was also the most shots any team has managed without scoring since United's famous 38 in their draw with Burnley in October 2016. Klopp could not believe his eyes / Clive Brunskill/GettyImages After the Game , manager Jurgen Klopp admitted he felt Liverpool were more dominant in this Game than they had been in last season's 7-0 win over United. "I saw a lot of good things, the one thing I don't like is the result," he told Sky Sports . "We shou...

Given RB Leipzig were only formed in 2009, meetings between the Bundesliga outfit and Real Madrid have not been a regular occurrence. The two sides have met on just a smattering of occasions in European competition. It wasn't until the group stage of the 2022/23 Champions League campaign that the pair first faced off in competitive action. While past meetings have been scarce, both sides boast an incredible roster of talent, with the two clubs traditionally operating under different recruitment models. Here is the complete head- to -head record between Madrid and Leipzig.

UEFA 's desire to evolve the esteemed Champions League means the group stage as we know it will be no more from 2024 and beyond. The introduction of a Swiss Model will do away with over 30 years of tradition since the com Pet ition's reformation and rebranding. The group stage was once the final phase before the final itself before the competition's expansion rendered it a mere footnote before all the knockout stage drama. While a successful group stage is necessary for a club's chances of Champions League glory, history has told us that a perfect start to the campaign isn't a prerequisite to lifting the trophy. Since 1992/93, 11 teams have won all their group stage matches, but only one has gone on to win the competition. Here's a reminder of those 11 group stage perfectionists. 1.

It’s a tournament that has been going - with a few interruptions - for over a century and fans are keen to know who their teams will be facing when the com Pet ition unfolds in the United States next summer. The Copa América began on 2 July 1916, and served as a commemoration of Argentina’s centennial independence from Spain. It wasn’t until the 30th edition in 1975 that the com Pet ition officially adopted the name Copa América, coinciding with rule modifications. With the draw for the 2024 edition just days away, we reflect on the countries that have clinched the most titles. Which countries have most Copa América titles? The Copa América has been dominated by three teams over the last 100 years, namely Uruguay, Argentina, and Brazil. Given their status as the oldest football associations in the continent, it is maybe logical to expect them to have accumulated the greatest number of titles. Here is the list of all the teams to have won it at least once. Copa América medal table ...

Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus has hit back at critics of his goal record , insisting only "those who understand Football " truly appreciate his Game . Jesus recently shocked fans and rivals alike by admitting scoring goals is not his "strong point", but he sent the perfect message with a goal and an assist in the Gunners' 6-0 mauling of Lens in the Champions League on Wednesday. Arsenal are known to be looking at signing a new striker in 2024, with Juventus' Dusan Vlahovic and Brentford's Ivan Toney among those under consideration, but Jesus is not concerned by the speculation or those doubting his ability. "This happens you know, maybe it can be agents talking about a lot of things," he said. "Sometimes it is like this, it happened when I was at [Manchester] City even with [Sergio] Aguero and me scoring . I was scoring a lot and people was linking everyone. "So here, I don't care about this. I know what my qualities are and I k...
