At the start of this afternoon’s Quattro Group British Supersport Championship race at Oulton Park, exiting turn one, Old Hall corner on the first lap, there was a chain reaction incident involving 11 riders falling. The race was immediately stopped and trackside medical services deployed.

Just seen the tragic news from Oulton Park. Devastating 😞

Thoughts with the family and friends of everyone involved, particularly Owen and Shane πŸ’”πŸ˜ž

Carlo Ancelotti doubles down on Real Madrid’s decision to boycott the Ballon D’Or in protest at Vinicius Jr losing out to Rodri.

He also labels the rivalry with Man City as the greatest in this era of the Champions League - calling it a β€˜Classico’ πŸ†

Man City moving closer to an agreement with Porto to sign Nico Gonzalez.

No confirmation but club are hopeful of a deal before Transfer Deadline.

Personal terms not an issue #MCFC

Man City remain hopeful of negotiating a deal for Nico Gonzalez in the final hours of the transfer window.

Talks ongoing with FC Porto this morning.

As it stands City don’t want to meet the midfielder’s €60m release clause.

One issue is Barca will be owed 40% of any fee due to sell-on clause.

I asked Ruben Amorim today about need for attacking signings after another blank…

Pep Guardiola admits potential Champions League opponents Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are both better than Man City right now…

However, in 2 weeks he’s hoping the return of Dias, Ake, Doku & Bobb (as well as the new signings) can level the playing field #MCFC

Unai Emery says that #AVFC signing of Donyell Malen is close - but it’s contingent on Jaden Philogene completing his move to Ipswich.

Suggests it’s the same situation for any potential defensive transfers (ie Diego Carlos will have to leave first).
