I don’t watch basketball, I don’t have anything against it, I just don’t know it

But from an outsider’s view, it seems like the gap between Jordan and the rest was larger than the gap between any other sports star and their competitors.

Including Messi.

Very grateful for the opportunity to work on Sky Sports News' Europa League coverage...

Jumping on every 30 minutes or so to give score updates from multiple games (within time constraints) is a challenge, but a very fun one!

Leonardo Bonucci 23/24 season.

Left out of Juve's squad, joins Union Berlin, loses 6/7 League games, leaves in January for Fenerbahce, plays 169 League + Conference League minutes, misses the final penalty in the quarter-final shootout vs Olympiakos.

Nightmare 7 months.

The game I'm looking forward to most over the next few days?

The Derby della Madonnina, Milan vs Inter Milan, Monday night.

Inzaghi's men going for 6 in a row to secure the Scudetto against a Milan side that limply exited Europa League against Roma.

Pioli under huge pressure!

8 Premier League sides entered into European competition this season and one, just one reached the semi finals… Aston Villa in the Conference League via a penalty shootout.

Given the discrepancy in spending over the last few years, this is nothing short of a humiliation for the…

Trent crosses the ball into Ruggeri's arm as he pulls it back, from 2 metres away...

That's a penalty by 2024 handball rules.

But I hate 2024 handball rules.

Providing Europa League updates throughout the evening on Sky Sports News for non-English games... and there are narratives aplenty

Marseille vs Benfica: Can Benfica move one step closer to ending the CURSE OF BELA GUTMANN?

Roma vs Milan: Can Roma secure just their 2nd win in…

The great thing about twitter is that everyone gets to share their opinion.

The worst thing about twitter is that everyone gets to share their opinion.

I cannot believe this is even a question.

I love Rodri, he's a fabulous player, but he's a terrible loser.

It's always this same narrative, as if every side should just open up and accept the inevitable against the treble winners.

The end result isn't sullied by the style used to achieve it, that's just football.

Kyle Walker will be gutted with the build-up to Real's goal last night...

But there were 2 moments against Vinicius Junior that prove why HE HAS to be fit for England this summer.

With the form/injuries of the rest of England's defence, he's a must start.

City's issues this season stem from an unusually poor summer.

Lost Mahrez, Gundogan, Laporte, Cancelo, Palmer...

Nunes (miss so far), Kovacic (too similar to Nunes), Gvardiol (good), Doku (understandably inconsistent)

For a £113m net spend, it was a very average window.

I can't speak for Eni Aluko's experience at football stadiums and wouldn't want to.

But what I do know is that she has been consistently and unkindly attacked by a former footballer with 2.1 million followers and his brainless supporters.

I'm not surprised she's disillusioned!

12 semi-finals in the last 14 years for Real Madrid...

Th two seasons they didn't make the final 4? The two campaigns immediately after the departure of the greatest goalscorer in their history.

Remarkable consistency, remarkable mentality, special club.

The storyline I’d love to see?

Bayern Munich announce that Julian Nagelsmann will take over after the Euros.

Bayern Munich go on to win the Champions League under Tuchel.

Bayern scramble to justify their decision as Germany get knocked out of the Euros.

Seems like a small thing to focus on after 120 minutes...

But the Man City fans that didn't give the ball back to Bernardo Silva before his terrible penalty forcing him to wait...

Not the smartest move.
