News about Andreas Christensen

Ter Stegen, 32, was stretchered off during Barca's 5-1 rout of Villarreal and manager Hansi Flick immediately knew it was a 'huge injury', as he told DAZN. The German custodian has torn the patellar tendon - which connects the kneecap to the shinebone - in his right knee and was tested at hospital in Villarreal.

Despite the start of the Premier League 2024-25 season, several clubs are still keen to bolster their squad in order to achieve the best results possible. With only a week remaining in the summer transfer window, many fans are eagerly anticipating for that one signing that could help their side become invincible. In today's fast-paced technology landscape, clubs are increasingly turning to advanced tools such as AI, previously reported to be used by club chiefs such as Omar Berrada.

Former Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen could leave Barcelona before the summer transfer window ends, according to reports. The Catalan giants are already on the verge of losing Ilkay Gundogan, with the midfielder set for a sensational return to Manchester City. He landed in Manchester on Wednesday night and met Pep Guardiola for dinner ahead of his proposed free transfer back to the club he left last summer.

Hojbjerg first tied the knot with Josephine Siw Nelson in a ceremony so low key even his own mother was not invited.

Joan Laporta has poured further fuel on the fire caused by Lamine Yamal's controversial phantom goal by revealing the Catalan side could issue for a replayed tie.  Xavi's side fell to a 3-2 defeat on the road to Real Madrid on Sunday night, with Jude Bellingham's injury time winner leaving Los Blancos 11 points clear at the top and firmly in control of the title race.  Andreas Christensen and Fermin Lopez struck either side of Vinicius Junior's penalty as Barca twice took the lead, before Lucas Vazquez's equaliser and Bellingham's eventual third goal sealed the result for the hosts. 

Tom Brady met the stars of the Real Madrid team on Sunday night, after making the visit to Spain to watch El Clasico and their incredible 3-2 win over Barcelona. The seven-time Super Bowl winner, who became a part-owner of English championship team Birmingham last year, watched from the stands at the Santiago Bernabeu as Jude Bellingham - a former Birmingham player - scored a 90th minute winner for Real. Brady, 46, witnessed a thriller from one of the most prestigious games in European football with Barcelona going ahead after six minutes through Andreas Christensen, before Vinicius Junior got Madrid level.

PETE JENSON: Real Madrid took a big step towards clinching the LaLiga title after beating Barcelona 3-2 at the Bernabeu.  Carlo Ancelotti's side fell behind after just six minutes through Andreas Christensen's header before Vinicius Jnr levelled the match with a penalty 12 minutes later.  The visitors reclaimed their lead through Fermin Lopez's rebound on the 69 minute mark but again, it didn't last for long as Lucas Vazquez struck 4 minutes later. 

PETER JENSON: It's Xavi's last stand on Sunday - his final El Clasico in charge of Barcelona. And things can go one of only two ways as his side travel to the Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid go into Sunday's game having had a day's less recovery time after 120 minutes of defending against Manchester City. They still have difficult away games at Real Sociedad and Villarreal, plus the distraction of the Champions League semi-finals.

PETE JENSON: The end is nigh for Xavi. It could even come on Sunday night if Barcelona lose the Clasico and slip 11 points behind Real Madrid. A defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu would leave Barça with a six-game run-in and only second place to play for.  They need to finish second for the €5million [£4.27m] they will earn from the Spanish Super Cup, but chasing runners-up positions is not what the club is about and May will be a long month mainly spent speculating over who the new manager will be.

L'Equipe hailed Kylian Mbappe for making Barcelona 'his garden' as Paris Saint-Germain completed a stunning comeback to reach the Champions League semi-finals. Mbappe was one of five PSG players earning an 8 out of 10 rating after scoring his side's third and fourth goal as the Ligue 1 champions set up a semi-final showdown against Borussia Dortmund.  'He was expected to be the saviour and he finally was,' L'Equipe wrote, noting Barcelona was now 'his garden' after the France star scored a hat-trick at the Camp Nou in the first leg of the Round of 16 three years ago. 

Kylian Mbappe and Robert Lewandowski have both been amongst the goals for their teams this season and with PSG facing Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-finals on Tuesday, the odds of both doing so again have been boosted by Sky Bet.  Mbappe and Lewandowski are the top scorers this season for their respective teams, with the former netting a stunning 39 times for PSG and the latter 20 across all four competitions for the Blaugrana. Barcelona are 3-2 up in the tie having won in the French capital against Mbappe's side, with Raphinha and Andreas Christensen getting the goals for Xavi's Catalan giants. 

After weeks of anticipation, the Champions League came back with a bang for their quarter-final fixtures.  With 18 goals from just four matches, fans across Europe were treated to a handful of thrilling games, ranging from Arsenal's draw with Bayern to Barcelona's comeback at PSG.  It was a difficult night for both Arsenal and their title rivals Manchester City, who were held to a dramatic 3-3 draw with Spanish giants Real Madrid. 

Kylian Mbappe received a brutally low rating from L'Equipe after PSG's 3-2 defeat by Barcelona on Wednesday night. The two European giants faced off in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final at the Parc des Princes, and it was Barcelona who came out on top thanks to a brace from former Leeds star Raphinha, before ex-Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen netted the winner. PSG rallied at the start of the second half with two goals in as many minutes from Ousmane Dembele and Vitinha, but Barcelona finished strongly to leave the French side with an uphill take heading into next week's return leg in Spain.

Barcelona placed one foot in the Champions League semi-finals after beating Paris Saint-Germain in a thrilling first leg, with Raphinha their hero. The red-hot forward scored a superb brace to stun the Parc des Princes with his second goal, a volley from Pedri's lofted pass, the standout on a goal-laden night. Raphinha broke the deadlock after pouncing on a loose ball and smashing high into the top corner, capitalising on poor goalkeeping from Gianluigi Donnarumma. PSG rallied back after the break, with Ousmane Dembele and Vitinha on target, before Raphinha's second and Andreas Christensen handed the visitors the lead.

Lampard led Chelsea to fourth place in the Premier League under a transfer embargo before being fired in his second season. Rudiger lost his regular starter role under Lampard and was banned from working with Lampard's favorite pairing of Kurt Zouma and Andreas Christensen.

According to reports, Barcelona will listen to Jules Kounde's defender this summer as they continue to navigate their precarious financial situation. The LaLiga champions have had a poor start to protect their crown and now rank ten points behind third place Real Madrid. Xavi has announced that he will leave at the end of the season, despite Frenkie de Jong's that he will be ready to join him out the door this summer.

Chelsea's recruitment drive in the last season and a half has raised eyebrows, but one NBC analyst has stated that the large number at Stamford Bridge was in anticipation of an impending transfer ban. Since Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital bought the Blues for £4.25 billion, a lot has been updated in both the transfer policy and the playing staff at Stamford Bridge. They've already passed over the £1 billion mark, bringing together a number of young, if untested, players on long contracts to create a team that will be strong in the future.

Barcelona boss Xavi survived a potential crisis when the team came from behind to defeat third-tier Unionistas in the Copa del Rey. In a game in which a loss could have been crippling to Alvaro Gomez's reign as Barcelona's boss, he had a shock lead. Ferran Torres though equalized before halftime, with Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde netting in the second half, putting Barcelona into the next round.

PETE JENSON: Xavi's latest plight in Barcelona ticks all the boxes for a coach walking toward expulsion. His director of football would like someone else to take over, while major names in the team are dissatisfied. The players he wanted to keep are now gone, but he does have to deal with those he didn't like. Copa del Rey game against a third-tier team featuring a giant-killing act will be next week.

For the first time since September, the Catalan giants were finally able to win a game by more than a one-goal margin. After winning thanks to goals from Robert Lewandowski and Yamine Lamal, the team will face Real Madrid in the final on Sunday. But, the game's most notable talking point came in the 58th minute when Andreas Christensen's apparent foul in the build-up to Lewandoski's goal was not recorded by VAR. When speaking to the media post-match, Osasuna defender David Garcia expressed his displeasure immediately.

Christmas Day has come and gone, and we now have a long way to go before the New Year and the start of the January transfer window. A number of Premier League sides are considering whether their ranks have the required depth to face in the second half of the season as injuries build up and a packed fixture list starts to take their toll. Following Sir Jim Ratcliffe's arrival at Old Trafford, which was announced on Christmas Eve, Manchester United could have a tumultuous month, particularly in terms of outgoings.

In the 40th minute at the Volksparkstadion stadium in Hamburg, Germany, Danylo Sikan opened the scoring on the night for the Ukrainian side. Barcelona ruled possession in their quest for an equalizer, but Donetsk held firm.

Barcelona dropped two points in a 2-2 draw in Granada due to a brilliant double from Bryan Zaragoza. It may have been worse, but the winger blasted the newspaper late, denying him a hat-trick and a home win. After only 18 seconds, Barcelona was behind by only 18 seconds. They went home for kick-off, but Andreas Christensen played a bad hand to Gavi, who lost possession in midfield. Gonzalo Villar broke and fed Lucas Boye, who was in Zaragoza on his shot across Marc Andre ter Stegen, who may not have beat a keeper of his caliber but did. It was Zaragoza's fourth game of the season, and he's the player with the most fruitful dribbles in La Liga. He's just 24 years old, and his release clause is only 14 million euros.

Chelsea's image has shifted dramatically over the past few years, under the dual-ownership of Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali. With investment at an all time high, the new owners' summer transfer window came to an end, with some major names dropping for lucrative fees. However, it was two of Chelsea's outgoing transfers in the first couple of weeks of consortium Clearlake Capital's takeover that shocked those in charge of such a scheme.
