Real Madrid revealed they have lost close to €300million in revenue during the coronavirus pandemic as their financial results were announced on Wednesday.
However, Los Blancos reported a post-tax profit of €874,000 for 2020-21, up from €313,000 in the previous financial year.
In this way, the club will be one of the few big clubs in Europe that does not incur losses in these two years, given that – according to a UEFA study – the operating losses accumulated by European clubs between 2019-20 and 2020-21 will approach €6billion, Madrid said.
A statement attributed the club s financial performance to intense spending saving measures in all areas .
These measures, Madrid said, were the only way to compensate for a sizeable nine-figure revenue l…
Jonathan Walters scored a brace for Stoke in last nights 3-1 victory over Liverpool at the Britannia Stadium
As usual the Premier League action on Boxing Day produced a host of goals, action and controversy. Leaders Manchester United defeated Newcastle 4-3 in a pulsating encounter at Old Trafford.
It was the visitors that drew first blood though.
United keeper David de Gea failed to deal with Demba Ba’s effort and midfielder James Perch was on hand to fire home the rebound.
The home side were back on level terms in the 25th minute. Tim Krul could only palm out a Javier Hernandez effort and United centre-back Jonny Evans was well-placed to level the scores.
Three minutes later and the Northern Ireland international went from hero to villain. Mag…
The New England Patriots will wrap up their preseason schedule when they visit the Tennessee Titans on Friday night.
The Patriots held off the Green Bay Packers 21-17 last weekend to get their first preseason win. The Titans also rebounded from a loss to beat the Minnesota Vikings 24-16 last week.
Both teams are likely to rest their star quarterbacks in the finale, though one coach has left the door open to playing his starter and NFL odds reflect that. We’ll break down the matchup in our free NFL picks and predictions for Patriots vs Titans on August 25.

You thought last week’s TNF was an absolute slop fest? Well hoo boy did the NFL schedule pull a “hold my beer” moment for Week 6 by giving us… the Washington Commanders vs. the Chicago Bears!
I wanted to focus my spotlight this week on a punter — because this TNF matchup is truly a metaphor for us punting away 3+ hours of our lives by watching this game — and in a fair and just world, there would be TNF props available for punters.
But alas, there are not, because this is not a fair and just world — which is why we are left to decide on our “best” Commanders vs. Bears picks in the first place.
So our consolation (in which we’ll need consolation) is to key in on some Carson Wentz props, because it’s truly a mixed bag of va…
Week 4 of the NFL season concludes on Monday with a Monday Night Football showdown between Seattle Seahawks and New York Giants. The Seahawks enter with a 2-1 record but a Bottom 5 defense in most major defensive categories. Can they keep a terrible Giants offense at bay? Or will Daniel Jones find a way to nickle and dime his way to victory. NFL odds favor the Seahawks slightly at -1.5, but the Giants should put up a good fight.
While there are a number of different subscription-based TV channels and streaming services available to watch this game… did you know that you can also live stream Seahawks/Giants directly from legal sports betting sites?

On Sunday we see Cowboys vs. Rams at SoFi Stadium in NFL action. The teams both start their preseason with a game that is unlikely to see either team’s starting QB. That gives us an opportunity to study the depth charts and make an interesting pick for the game.
Don’t miss my Cowboys vs. Rams predictions and NFL picks for August 11.

My analysis
It’s challenging to make a pick for Dallas Cowboys vs. Los Angeles Rams with a lack of information available around how much we’ll see from the starters, but a look at both head coaches’ records shows that Mike McCarthy’s 31-32 preseason record is far better than that of Sea…
“Footballers in dressing-room communal baths celebrating FA Cup wins used to be a sports pages staple,” reminisces Roger Kirkby. “When was the last such photo taken?”
Which football clubs have played home games at a rival’s ground? | The KnowledgeRead more
We’re guessing there are a number of reasons why we no longer see giddy footballers photographed in changing room baths, Roger. The first is that many clubs have updated their facilities and huge tubs where players can collectively scrub themselves clean are not as common as they used to be. Privacy and PR are a big deal for clubs too, so the thought of images of naked players cavorting in baths getting shared on social media may well set alarm bells ringing.
