Newcastle Utd Begins European Campaign At AC Milan

LONDON: Newcastle return to the European Champions League for the first time in 20 years at AC Milan tomorrow.

The Magpies are hoping to make a name for themselves on the European stage after more than two decades of languishing in the Championship League.

Their main goal is to follow in the footsteps of Manchester City, which was also supported by funds from the Middle East country to win the treble last season.

When it managed to join the top four of the English Premier League in the first season since being taken over by the Public Investment Fund (PIF) from Saudi Arabia, Newcastle’s project was seen to achieve success faster than expected.

However, the early weeks of the new season saw Eddie Howe’s men face the real reality after losing to City, Liverpool and Brighton before coming back to beat Brentford 1-0.

Although many European stars have moved to Saudi Arabia over the past few months, Newcastle have remained prudent in their spending in the summer transfer window due to Financial Fair Play constraints.

They are only seventh in the list of the highest spending clubs of the English Premier League in the transfer market.

Newcastle and Milan were drawn in Group F along with Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund.

However, Howe is not afraid of their first challenge in Europe’s top competition because his team is used to competing against stronger opponents in the English Premier League.

“I don’t see the difference. Preparations to meet European and English opponents are the same. For me, the English Premier League is the best league in the world.

“Now we’re going to Europe, it’s a different competition and challenge, but it’s still football,” Howe said.

Manchester City only won their first European Champions League last season, but have frequently competed in the tournament since being taken over by owners from Abu Dhabi in 2011.

The same is Newcastle’s goal and tomorrow’s game will determine whether they are able to make an impact on the European stage.

West Ham Can’t Wait For Maguire

MANCHESTER: Harry Maguire’s move to West Ham failed to consummate after the Manchester United defense demanded a reparation of 15 million pounds.

The Hammers are interested in the former United captain and their £30 million bid has been agreed by United.

However West Ham were forced to forgo the move as they refused to wait any longer for settlement talks between Maguire and United.

Maguire is willing to accept a lower wage away from Old Trafford and United are also willing to pay the centre-back a whopping 6 million pounds.

But Maguire, who dropped out of United’s first team last season, wants a bigger payout. His contract at Old Trafford still has two years remaining.

United manager Erik ten Hag wants the England defender to continue to compete for a place in the first team.

“For Harry he needs to compete for his place. He has the qualities to be a world class centre-half and now he is the best for England.

“He should be the best for us but he needs to prove it. If he’s not sure about competing he needs to leave.

“He needs to make a decision but I’m happy with him,” Ten Hag said after their 1-0 win over Wolves in their Premier League opener.

Bayern Munich defender Benjamin Pavard is one of the main candidates to replace Maguire.

The World Cup winner with France is looking forward to sheathing the United jersey, but Ten Hag will need to let go of Maguire to secure Pavard’s signing.

We Have Nothing To Lose – Klopp

LIVERPOOL: Jurgen Klopp has warned that his Liverpool manager will try to hunt for a European ticket in the remaining matches of the English Premier League this season.

Unlike last season which saw them on the brink of four championships at this stage, this time The Reds appear without any target other than chasing European qualification – 12 points behind for the Champions League and competing fiercely for a place in the Europa League.

“We have nothing to lose, we’re in a position we don’t want to be in, so we have to accept it.

“We have to try new things. What we try doesn’t work or is less consistent,” said Klopp.

Liverpool are on a five-match winless run since thrashing Manchester United 7-0 at the start of March – a result that does not reflect their season, as does the 9-0 win over Bournemouth in August.

Bournemouth got revenge on Klopp’s squad with a 1-0 win last month, Liverpool’s first game since beating United at Anfield, and followed defeats to Real Madrid and Manchester City before drawing with Chelsea and Arsenal.

“After 7-0 I’m not sure if you know how to deal with the situation after that. You think everything is good, you start scoring goals, then you realize it’s not as expected.

“Winning 2-0 five times in a row is better than that. It was a very strange season, we admit it was not our best season, but with the two biggest wins in the club’s history.

“It’s odd. It proves we can do it but it’s not done every week. That’s our main problem this season,” he said.

Benzema Ends His Career With France

PARIS: Ballon D’Or winner Karim Benzema announced he was ending his international career overnight, a day after France lost in the World Cup final to Argentina.

Benzema, who scored 37 goals in 97 appearances for France, withdrew from the World Cup squad before the first leg in Qatar because of a left thigh injury sustained in training.

In the surprise announcement, the 35-year-old Real Madrid player said on Twitter: “I tried and the mistakes made to get me to where I am today and I’m proud of it! I’ve written my story and our relationship is over.”

Benzema, who won the Ballon d’Or award as the world’s best player in October, is desperate to feature at this World Cup after failing to qualify when France won the world title in Russia four years ago.

He was left out of the French squad for five and a half years due to his involvement in a coup scandal involving team mate Mathieu Valbuena.

For the Qatar World Cup, coach Didier Deschamps chose not to call up another replacement in the squad led by 23-year-old Kylian Mbappe.

Paris Saint-Germain forward Mbappe won the Golden Boot by eight goals, including a hat-trick in the penalty shoot-out against Argentina after being tied 3-3 in added time.

Benzema, who exploded in his March 2007 debut against Austria, has not enjoyed glory for France except for the 2021 Nations League.

He has clashed with Deschamps several times because it is said he is of Algerian descent and at one point his French coaching background is “ethnic” for not listing his name.
