Maurizio Sarri hopes Eden Hazard will stay at Chelsea but will respect whatever decision the forward reaches on his future. Hazard’s contract at Stamford Bridge is due to expire at the end of next season and he has been linked with a big-money move to Real Madrid.

However, Chelsea head into next Wednesday’s Europa League final against Arsenal with the future of star player Hazard still up in the air. Asked if the match in Baku could be…

Maurizio Sarri has told Chelsea’s hierarchy that if his future at the club depends on winning the Europa League then he would rather leave “immediately”. Italian coach Sarri only joined Chelsea from Napoli at the start of the season and initially looked to have made an impact, as the Blues’ Premier League campaign began strongly. But fan discontent grew amid poor form and Sarri came under pressure after the turn of the year, with media reports suggesting he was close to being sacked. Sarri managed to cling on and performances towards the end of the season improved, securing a third-place…

A top EU court on Wednesday cancelled a European Commission decision from 2016 that forced Spain to recover 18.4 million euros from Real Madrid because it considered a real estate refund as illegal state aid. “The Commission could not classify the disputed measure as state aid”, as it did not “sufficiently demonstrate that it conferred an advantage to the plaintiff,” said the ruling of the General Court of the European Union. In a decision handed down in July 2016, EU Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said the club and the Madrid City Hall had agreed an illegal transaction involving the sale…

Manchester United sunk to a further low on Sunday, when they were defeated 2-0 by already-relegated Cardiff City at Old Trafford on the final day of the Premier League season. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men looked helplessly on as Nathaniel Mendez Laing nailed two for the side from Wales (one from a dubious penalty conceded by Diogo Dalot and another from a lackadaisical defensive effort by Manchester United’s centre-halves.) It looked as if everything that could go wrong for Manchester United, went wrong.

Barcelona head coach Ernesto Valverde says he can learn from Pep Guardiola after Manchester City retained the Premier League title. City’s 4-1 win at Brighton and Hove Albion, their 14th straight league victory, held off the challenge from Liverpool by a single point.

He said: “The problem of healthcare in Nigeria is that people waits for emergencies to occur before…
