WHAT HAPPENED?
Al-Nassr looked uncomfortable in the first half of their Saudi Pro League clash against Al-Riyadh as the visitors took a lead into half-time. However, Ronaldo was at his all-time best in the second half as the five-time Ballon d'Or winner scored twice, including a thunderous 64th-minute volley which found the top corner, to give his side a 2-1 win.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Winning the Saudi Pro League this season could be a tad too difficult for Al-Nassr, despite their form, as Al-Ittihad sit eight points clear. However, they are now likely to finish in the top three of the league and qualify for the AFC Champions League after Al-Qadsiyah have struggled for form these last few weeks.

An āamazingā Celtic player who is loved by Brendan Rodgers could leave the club in what remains of this transfer window, as English clubs circle with interest, according to a recent report.
Celtic transfer news
Despite sitting pretty at the top of the Scottish Premiership, Rodgers and co. are keen to add more quality to the squad this month, as they continue to compete domestically and in Europe. There are yet to be any few faces to arrive at Celtic Park, but they are working on potential deals in this transfer window, in the hope they will add to their squad.
One player they hold an interest in signing is Brondby forward Mathias Kvistgaarden, who they have been keeping an eye on for over a year. But a move for the striker will only happen if a current Celtic forward leaves the club.

Kvistgaarden is not the only attacker Celtic are looking at, as reports emerged that the Hoops are in talks to sign Sarpsborg winger Sondre Orjasaeter. It is believed that talks are ongoing over a potential transfer, as Rodgers wants to strengthen his attacking options. But they are not the only side interested in Orjasaeter, as teams from France and Italy are also looking at signing the player, and as of yet, no official offer has arrived from the Scottish side.
As well as looking to add to the team, Celtic and Rodgers may have a fight on their hands to keep hold of one of their best players, as Kyogo Furuhashi’s future in Glasgow remains in doubt, as MLS side Atlanta United continue to circle with interest.
Greg Taylor now a target for English clubs
But Kyogo is not the only player who could leave the Hoops this month, as according to Hull Live, Hull City and Queens Park Rangers are interested in signing Greg Taylor from Parkhead.
Taylor, who is on a weekly wage of Ā£15,000 at Celtic Park, has been with the Scottish side since September 2019, when he joined from Kilmarnock. The left-back made the move to Parkhead, despite the fact that, as a youngster, he played in Rangersā academy. Taylor was an impressive performer for Kilmarnock, and he continued that for the Hoops, becoming a key player for them and Rodgers in that left-back spot.
Taylor has started 15 of the 17 league games heās played this season, but with Celtic closing in on the signing of Kieran Tierney, he could be allowed to leave in this transfer window, and Hull Live reports that Hull City are eyeing up a move for the defender to bolster their own options.

The Tigers have identified Taylor as a potential target, but they are not alone, as QPR are also keen on signing the defender, as well as Turkish outfit Trabzonspor and Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb. The 27-year-old is out of contract in the summer, and therefore, he is allowed to speak to other clubs about his long-term future.
The defender remains in talks with Celtic over a new contract as he has a positive relationship with Rodgers, who has described the player as āamazingā, but so far, those talks are yet to reach a conclusion.

U.S. men's national team forward Haji Wright scored his fifth goal for Coventry City since returning from injury in March in a 3-1 loss to Plymouth on Monday. The strike, scored in the 45th minute, brought his season total to 12 for the .
Despite the goal, it was a poor performance from Frank Lampard's men, who fell to a Plymouth side sitting last in the Championship table. It was a result that handed them a blow in the race to secure a promotion playoff spot as well. At the end of the Matchday, they sit on 66 points in the sixth and final playoff spot, but dropping points allowed the likes of Middlesbrough and Millwall, who sit in sixth and seventh, to close in on them after both teams secured a result on Monday.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Wright was sidelined from early November into March due to injury, missing the CONCACAF Nations League semifinals and finals with the USMNT. However, he made his debut under Mauricio Pochettino last October, recording an assist in a 2-0 victory over Panama, and featured off the bench in a 2-0 loss to Mexico as well.
His form of late for the , along with the poor attacking showings from the U.S. in March on the international stage, could open up the opportunity for the 26-year-old this summer to break into the XI under Pochettino. The USMNT have two international friendlies in early June, and then will go on to compete in the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

On April 21, 2024 – this day last year – Wright scored an emphatic goal against Manchester United in the FA Cup semifinals from the penalty spot in a three-goal comeback to help send the match to kicks from the spot. However, the Premier League side came out victorious in the shootout, winning 4-2.

WHAT NEXT FOR WRIGHT?
Coventry have just two regular season matches remaining, with their next meeting coming against Luton Town on Saturday, April 26 before the campaign wraps against Middlesbrough on May 3.
Chelsea have been struggling for output at the top end of the pitch in recent weeks, despite scoring 45 goals in 23 games in the Premier League this season. Much of this output has come from the duo of Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson, and a cold patch for either one of them has proven an issue for the Blues.
Enzo Maresca’s wingers have had moments this season. For example, Noni Madueke scored a hat-trick against Wolves early in the campaign, and it is clear the Italian values their overall contribution, not just their goals and assists. However, when goals dry up elsewhere, the lack of output in wide areas begins to stand out more, which has seen a poor run of form occur for Chelsea.
Madueke has shown the most intent to provide numbers from wide areas, scoring seven goals and providing three assists in the league, whilst Pedro Neto has only managed one goal and two assists in the league, and Sancho just two goals and four assists.
It is especially apparent that the likes of Neto and Sancho prefer to create for others, which shows in their assist numbers compared to their goal tallies.
However, a left-sided winger who provides more goal threat could be a great route to add goals to this side alongside Jackson and Palmer going forward, and the Blues may have the opportunity to strike this window.
Chelsea's market opportunity this January
According to reports from L’Equipe, Barcola was “surprised, to say the least”, to see PSG bring Napoli winger, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to the club, considering they already have himself and Desire Doue capable of playing on the left.
This could be seen as a huge opportunity for other clubs, with Barcola having a very good season so far playing off the left, scoring 13 goals and providing five assists in 29 appearances so far.
Having been in such good form, Barcola is unlikely to accept becoming a back-up to PSG’s new Ā£59m plus add-ons signing, which could leave top clubs around Europe on high alert to the situation, including Chelsea, who were previously linked to the Frenchman in prior transfer windows.
Why Chelsea must pursue Bradley Barolca
The other winger Chelsea have been linked with heavily this month, is Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United. The 20-year-old has made 33 appearances already this season in all competitions, scoring eight goals and providing five assists.
Whilst both options would provide a similar direct profile needed in wide areas, Barcola could prove to be better value for money, as both would likely cost upwards of £60m.
While the Frenchman is currently performing to a high standard, in recent months, Garnacho’s form has suffered, and he isn’t quite performing to that level currently, which, of course, presents risk.

Stats taken from FBref
When comparing Barcola to Garnacho this season, you can see the Frenchman is clearly in better form, producing output at a higher frequency, and providing more creative and progressive actions for his team. That said, the United winger does slightly edge the progressive carries metric.
Barcola has been praised by data analyst Raj Chohan, labelling him a “high energy attacker” who repeatedly makes runs off the ball and stretches opposition teams with his dribbling and speed. This is seen in the data, receiving 15.5 progressive passes per 90, constantly making runs as an outlet, looking to beat his man when given the chance and provide output for his team.
Alejandro Garnacho for Manchester United
Both players could have big impacts on the Chelsea attacking line, bringing more willingness to run in behind and therefore also giving the likes of Palmer more space to operate, but for the cost involved, Barcola – who has been described as “one of the best left wingers in Europe” by analyst Ben Mattinson, is likely the option with less risk attached.

Rangers are reportedly said to be interested in bringing a former player back to Ibrox in the January transfer window, as they make an offer directly to the defender.
Rangers transfer news
The Gers still have time to complete some late business during the current window, with Nottingham Forest striker Emmanuel Dennis linked with a move to Ibrox. He has found playing time impossible to come by this season, so a move away could appeal to him, also giving Philippe Clement additional firepower.
Highly-rated Motherwell midfielder Lennon Miller has been a rumoured transfer target for Rangers for some time, with reports continuing to back him to move to the club before the end of the month. Just 18 years of age, he has registered six assists in 19 Scottish Premiership starts this season.
A reunion with former winger Ryan Kent has also been mooted for the Gers, having scored 33 goals and registered 56 assists in 218 appearances for the club during his first stint there, also winning the Scottish Premiership title.
In terms of potential exits at Rangers in the coming days, left-back Ridvan Yilmaz has been linked with a move to Besiktas, having played for the club earlier in his career. Interestingly, Celtic’s Greg Taylor is considered an alternative option for the Turkish giants.
Rangers make offer to former defender
According to a new update from Swiss outlet Watson (via Glasgow Times), Rangers have made an offer to former defender Nikola Katic, looking to bring him back to the club after he left in 2022, but it is not clear if there have been any formal negotiations with his current club Zürich.
The 28-year-old was signed by Steven Gerrard in 2018 but suffered an injury-hit spell at Ibrox, never quite being able to consistently show his best form.
Nikola Katic
Katic could be a strong addition for Rangers before the window is closed, considering the Zürich defender is still at an age where he can be at his peak for several more years. The former Gers man has won six caps for Bosnia, as well as representing Croatia once before changing his allegiances, while Gerrard hailed his long-term potential when he managed him during their time together.
Katic himself is thought to be both keen on a move away from Zürich and interested in making a return to Rangers, and the fact that he would improve Clement’s defensive options means it is a transfer that could make sense for all parties.

The centre-back may even feel that he has unfinished business at Ibrox, given his injury-prone nature and the fact that he was limited to only 59 appearances – he scored six goals in that time – so the hope is that the Gers’ offer is accepted.
Arsenal are closely monitoring a “special” young midfielder, who has been cleared to leave his club for a fee of Ā£25m in the summer, according to a report.
Gunners eyeing a midfielder
The Gunners had a quiet January, with Mikel Arteta ultimately deciding to wait until the end of the season before making any major additions to his squad, and there is a belief they are close to agreeing a deal for a midfielder.
Club chiefs hope to have the deal for Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi wrapped up before the summer, with the Spaniard still high on the list of targets at the Emirates Stadium.
Zubimendi would set the north Londoners back around £50m, so he would not come cheap, and the 26-year-old is not the only midfielder Arsenal are interested in signing at the end of the season.

According to a report from CaughtOffside, the Gunners are closely monitoring Sunderland’s Chris Rigg, and after a recent development, a deal could be a possibility.
The Black Cats have now cleared Rigg’s departure for a fee of Ā£25m in the summer, with the Championship side now resigned to sanctioning his departure, having previously been resistant to letting him leave.
However, it could be a difficult task to win the race for the Sunderland star, as he is also attracting interest from a number of other top Premier League clubs, alongside the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid.
At this stage, it is unclear which club are leading the race for the 17-year-old, but a move to Arsenal or Liverpool could be tempting, with both clubs well-placed to compete for major trophies.

Rigg has shades of Jude Bellingham
Much like Jude Bellingham at Birmingham City, Rigg has managed to force his way into the first team of a Championship side at an extremely young age, scoring four goals in 27 league games this season.
The comparisons don’t stop there given the youngster’s keen eye for goal, becoming the second-youngest player to score in the second tier back in September 2023, missing out on Bellingham’s record by just 13 days.
The teenager was lauded as a “special talent” by Sky Sports’ Dougie Critchley earlier this season, and it is clear to see why so many top clubs are queueing up for his signature in the summer.
A price tag of £25m may seem steep for a player who is still so young, but he has already gained a great deal of first-team experience at Sunderland, and there is every indication his value could skyrocket in the coming years.

It's gearing up to be a big weekend for Americans Abroad in Europe. Campaigns around the continent are coming to a close.
In the Netherlands, PSV are taking Ajax to the wire for the title – but they need to win out and hope the league leaders drop points in two of their final three matches. An emerging storyline in the Eredivisie, though, is who sits beneath the two heavyweights.
Don't look now, but U.S. international Paxten Aaronson is helping spearhead a stunning Utrecht campaign, and if they claim three points this weekend, they could be position for UCL qualification in the 2025-26 season.
In France, two Americans are set to go head-to-head as Monaco host Lyon in the penultimate matchday of the Ligue 1 season. Folarin Balogun could make his second straight start, while Tanner Tessmann will look to lead Lyon within shouting distance of second place in the standings.

In the midst of reported talks over a potential contract extension with the club, it's become an important time for him to be consistent with positive showings on the pitch.

Americans meet in France
Ligue 1 is set to wrap in two weeks time, but PSG have already claimed the regular season title. What is still up for grabs, though, is European placement for the 2025-26 campaign.
This weekend, third-place Monaco host fourth-place Lyon – but just four points separate the two sides. With two games left on the calendar, it's all-or-nothing for both clubs this weekend as they search to clinch a top-three spot that guarantees a spot in the UCL next season.
Monaco, unbeaten in their last four matches, are looking to ride their hot form into the weekend with a crucial three points on the cards. Balogun earned his first start of the calendar year after undergoing shoulder surgery in December, and marked it with a goal last weekend as well.
Ahead of a big potential summer with the USMNT, the 23-year-old will look to return to the XI in an important match on Saturday. For Lyon, Tessmann has become a near regular in their midfield, and the 23-year-old will be tasked with helping secure a victory. However, with just one win in their last four matches across all competitions, the club will be banking on some top-tier showings on the pitch against a talented Monaco side.

Utrecht's final push
In what has been an incredibly impressive campaign from the American, Paxten Aaronson has helped Utrecht guarantee a top-four finish in the Eredivisie this season. Due to their positioning, and with just three matches left on the schedule, they've secured a berth into the UEFA Europa League qualifiers – and Aaronson has led the way to achieve such a feat.
However, they shouldn't be content with just fourth when third – and a berth in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers – is suddenly realistically achievable.
They trail third-place Feyenoord by just three points, and Robin Van Persie's side meet second place PSV and their American contingent this weekend – a match that could see them drop points. That means if Utrecht seize the moment, they could draw level at 65 points with two matches left on the calendar.
Utrecht themselves have a tough match ahead of them this weekend though, as they take to the road against fifth place FC Twente. Aaronson and Co. have an 11-point lead over Twente in the table, who have just one win in their past five matches.
The 21-year-old American, who starred for the USMNT at the 2024 Paris Olympics, has seven goals and four assists this season in 28 starts in league action.

Manchester Cityās academy has produced some important first-team players for Pep Guardiolaās side over the past few seasons. Perhaps their best academy graduate has been Phil Foden, who has played exactly 300 games for the club, scoring 97 goals and grabbing 57 assists in that time.
More recent academy graduates include Rico Lewis and Oscar Bobb. The pair broke into the City first team at a similar time, and have 81 appearances and 27 appearances for the club respectively. Sadly for Bobb, injuries have affected his career so far, or that could have been far more.
However, City do not manage to keep all their talented academy graduates and have made the mistake of selling a few over the last few years. Two of the most notable sales made by director of football Txiki Begiristain have been Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers.
Txiki Begiristain's biggest transfer blunders at Man City
What a huge error City made in selling their former academy attackers before they had a chance to establish themselves in the first team. Palmer joined Chelsea for a fee of £42.5m on deadline day of the 2023 summer transfer window, which proved to be a big mistake from the Citizens.
He has since gone on to become an utterly destructive attacking player. In 72 appearances so far for the Blues, the England international has found the back of the net 39 times and registered 21 assists. As the stats show, Palmer has been one of the deadliest players in the Premier League.
As for Rogers, he left the Etihad Stadium before he could even make his debut for the club. He joined Middlesbrough for £1.5m in 2023, before switching to Aston Villa for £15m just months later, which has been a bargain.
The 22-year-old has so far made 49 appearances for Unai Emeryās side, scoring 14 goals and grabbing seven assists. That includes a Champions League hat-trick in matchday eight against Celtic at Villa Park, an incredible achievement.
City surely must wish they had given Palmer and Rogers a platform to flourish because they could have had two incredibly dangerous attacking stars in their squad if so.
However, possibly the biggest mistake over the last year or so was to sell a striker whose value has shot up since leaving.
Where Are They Now
Your star player or biggest flop has left the club but what are they doing in the present day? This article is part of Football FanCast's Where Are They Now series.
The amazing striker Man City should have kept
Perhaps the worst error that Begiristain has made in the market in recent years when it comes to outgoings is to sell Liam Delap. The Man City academy graduate joined Ipswich Town over the summer for £20m.
In short, he has been sensational for the Tractor Boys this season. Although Keiran McKennaās side are threatened with relegation, sitting 19th in the table with 16 points to their name, that does not mean Delap has struggled for form in front of goal.
The 22-year-old striker has scored nine goals and has two assists in 23 Premier League games this season. That includes a goal and an assist in winning causes against Tottenham Hotspur in North London and Chelsea at Portman Road.
The England U21 international has been impressing plenty of people with his performances this term. Former midfielder turned pundit Danny Murphy thinks he is āthe obvious long-term successorā to Harry Kane once the Bayern Munich legend steps away from international duty.
Indeed, the ālethalā striker, as football analyst H described him, has fantastic statistics this season, via FBref, given how poor Ipswich have been. For example, he averages 0.18 goals per shot and a shot on target percentage of 48.7%.

Stats from FBref
It might be unsurprising to hear that the 22-year-old is incredibly highly valued by Ipswich. As per reports over the winter, the striker is now valued at £50m, a huge increase of 150% on what he was sold for by City just months ago.
Given his performances and inflated value, the Citizens surely regret selling the striker when they did. Had they given him a chance in the first team, he might have become a prominent player and even pushed for a spot alongside or instead of Erling Haaland.
Selling Delap was another mistake from Begiristain, which is certainly a common occurrence if the form of their former academy stars are anything to go by. City will be desperate not to repeat the error in the future.
