News about Karim Adeyemi

No one enjoys hearing painful home truths. Least of all the flat earthers who would rather stick their fingers in their ears than acknowledge Scottish football's obvious imperfections. Derek Adams learned that the hard way. Manager of Ross County last December, he was tarred and feathered for claiming that the standard of the SPFL was 'shocking'. 'I've left a team in League Two (Morecambe) that's miles better than this team,' he said of his own side.

Liverpool are reportedly keen on signing a Champions League finalist to potentially replace Mo Salah. Salah's contract is due to expire next summer, and he hinted last month that this is likely to be his final season at Anfield. The Reds could be set to lose their talisman in the coming months, and will need to find a suitable successor if Salah does opt to move on.

For long enough, Celtic's defensive record on the road in the Champions League has made the prospect of picking up points feel about as likely as winning the lottery without first buying a ticket. Brendan Rodgers' men conceded 10 times in three away games in their group last year, one more than they shipped on the road under Ange Postecoglou the previous season. Each time you venture into these highly intimidating arenas, you've got a mountain to climb. Give your opponent three goals of a start and you're starting the ascent with your laces tied together and a blindfold on.

ADD Dortmund to Paris, Barcelona and Madrid on the growing list of Celtic's Champions League crime scenes. Confronted by the yellow wall of the Signal Iduna Park, Scotland's champions crumbled and collapsed under the relentless pressure of last season's beaten finalists. When Spanish referee Jose Maria Sanchez blew the final whistle, it felt like an act of mercy. Brendan Rodgers described this as an acid test for his team and, in the cold light of day, they failed on every conceivable level. Had the old BBC final score vidiprinter still been in use, they'd have repeated the scoreline in words to emphasise just how outclassed Celtic were in every department.

Scottish club Celtic have had a perfect start to their 2024-25 campaign - winning nine from nine across all competitions. With 33 goals scored and just four goals conceded to date - could this be the season where Celtic prove their doubters wrong and make a splash in Europe? If their performance in their opening Champions League game against Slovan Bratislava is anything to go by, an appearance in the round of 16 for the first time since 2012-13 isn't out of the question.

SIMON JONES: Aston Villa are monitoring developments with Borussia Dortmund's Karim Adeyemi. The 22-year old has attracted interest from Chelsea and Juventus this summer and has made his intentions clear that should he leave Dortmund it would only be for a club competing in the Champions League. Villa have sold Moussa Diaby to Al Ittihad and bought back Jaden Philogene from Hull City but have checked on Adeyemi who has four caps for Germany.

SIMON JONES: The 22-year-old was one of his club's stand out performers in their Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid at Wembley last month, and he wants to pick up where he left off should he be sold this summer. Dortmund, who are signing Serhou Guirassy from Stuttgart and want Lyon's Rayan Cherki and Brighton 's Pascal Gross, are open to selling Adeyemi for around £35million. That has alerted clubs across Europe, including some in England.

A host of football's fastest players have descended on Germany for Euro 2024 this month - and the best sprinter among them has now been revealed. Surprisingly, both Kylian Mbappe and Kyle Walker have missed out on the top 10 despite the duo putting on the afterburners to devastating effect last season. Instead, a centre back has taken the top spot, forcing several blistering forwards to settle for places further down the rankings. Other shock names are also above them. The fastest speed racked up by a player competing at the tournament this summer came in at an impressive 37.38km/h, also the Premier League's fastest sprint.

IAN HERBERT IN MUNICH: The pages of Der Spiegel have this week reflected a German nation desperately needing the kind of football fervour it discovered in 2006, when the World Cup arrived here for four blissful, sun-kissed weeks still remembered as the Sommermärchen, 'the summer fairytale'. The paper related, with full Germanic precision, what is - and isn't - acceptable workplace practice during the four-week 'state of emergency' which begins with the hosts' opening fixture against Scotland in Munich this evening. Watching games in the workplace is a 'no', though listening to them on a radio is rendered acceptable by labour legislation passed in 1986. Decorate your car with flags by all means, 'so long as the driver's field of vision isn't restricted'. Only extend your 'fan festival' deep into the night if you have 'municipal permission'.

Real Madrid extended their European dominance with a 15th Champions League victory last night thanks to goals from Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Jr as they defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-0. But the flagship event was marred by ugly scenes before kick-off as some fans charged towards the iconic stadium and attempted to enter via the 'Club Wembley' entrance, before being pushed back and turned away by security. Shortly after kick-off, a series of pitch invaders then ran across the turf unchallenged, forcing a halt in play. One even managed to stop to take a selfie with a bemused Vinicius Jr. The Metropolitan Police has insisted there was a 'robust policing operation' in place and revealed that 53 arrests were made - five for pitch invasion and the 'majority of others' for attempts to breach security. The troublemakers were wearing T-shirts promoting 'Mellstroy', a controversial Russian vlogger who is rumoured to have offered pitch invaders £300,000 to anyone who would storm the turf in his name, according to reports on social media.

Real Madrid claimed a record-extending 15th Champions League last night thanks to goals from Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Jr as they defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-0. But the event was soured for some prior to kick-off when fans were seen charging towards the iconic London stadium and attempting to enter via the 'Club Wembley' entrance, before being pushed back and turned away by security. A series of pitch invaders then ran across the turf unchallenged in the early minutes of the match, forcing a halt in play. One of the people who ran on to the pitch stopped to take a selfie with Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior in what appeared to be an online dare with a cash reward up for grabs. Then, following the full-time whistle, exclusive footage obtained by MailOnline appears to show fans streaming past security guards to make their way into the stadium via a side entrance as the trophy ceremony was underway. These lapses came despite a £5million ring of steel defence being put in place by the Football Association to avoid a repeat of England's Euro 2020 day of shame. That final - held in 2021 having been delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic - saw ticketless fans storming the gates to gain access to the stadium.

Real Madrid lifted the Champions League trophy for the 15th time after beating Borussia Dortmund 2-0 at Wembley. Dani Carvajal was the unlikely hero for the LaLiga giants after heading home from Toni Kroos' corner before Vinicius Junior tucked in the decisive second goal. Dortmund had carved out a number of golden openings in a pulsating first half but both Karim Adeyemi and Niclas Fullkrug were guilty of glaring misses. Madrid were afforded more space after the breakthrough and Vinicius capitalised on a sloppy Ian Maatsen error to finish coolly beyond Gregor Kobel. Here, Mail Sport's CRAIG HOPE has rated the players...

Borussia Dortmund scored from the penalty spot and saw it overturned in absurd circumstances after a VAR review against Borussia Monchengladbach.  Edin Terzic's men were leading 2-1 at Borussia-Park as they attempted to get back to winning follow back-to-back defeats and keep pace with RB Leipzig in the race for Champions League football.  They had the chance to gain a two-goal lead minutes after the break when they were awarded a penalty as  Jonas Omlin was deemed to have brought down Karim Adeyemi. 

We've arrived at the Champions League quarter-finals, and there could be some delectable ties on the horizon. Both English clubs remain in the competition as Arsenal and Manchester City eagerly await to find out who they will face in the next round of the competition. Of course, with it being the quarter-finals teams from the same countries, it will no longer be separated, so it could lead to an all-Premier League match between the two champions.

BY HARRY SLAVIN: Describes EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BY HARRY SLAVIN. During the past few years, Red Bull Salzburg has developed a tradition of bringing Europe's best talent to the Champions League stage. They may have just had their next teenage sensation in Oscar Gloukh. In recent campaigns, Erling Haaland, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Karim Adeyemi have all taken the top prize in the continent, proving that the elite existed before joining them. Gloukh's turn is now Gloukh's turn to face the giants at 19 a.m. Not that it's new for the Israeli, who honed his skills as a 5-year-old playing four-on-four in Rehovot against boys twice his age and twice his height.

Andre Onana was 'bang out of order' for expressing his dissatisfaction with Harry Maguire in pre-season, according to Wrexham goalkeeper Ben Foster. Onana expressed his dissatisfaction with United's 3-2 loss to Borussia Dortmund last month, as the Cameroonian gave his defender an earful for giving up possession and allowing Dortmund's attackers to strike on goal. Before Karim Adeyemi launched Sebastien Haller's attempt, Onana managed to get a hand to Sebastien Haller's effort.

After the former Red Devils skipper nearly cost his team a goal with some sloppy defense during Manchester United's 3-2 loss to Borussia Dortmund on Monday, Andre Onana has warned Harry Maguire to remain vigilant at all times. The Cameroonian shot-stopper earful for giving up possession and allowing Dortmund's attackers to march on goal 47 minutes into the game. Onana managed to get a hand to Sebastien Haller's attempt before Karim Adeyemi launched the follow-up wide. The former Inter Milan goalkeeper sprinted over to Maguire and chastised him for the mistake after the ball was out of play. Onana said he had a good relationship with Maguire but that he should'be willing'when he is on the field.

CHRIS WHEELER IN LAS VEGAS: Omari Forson, a teen winger for Manchester United, would have been suspended against Borussia Dortmund in Las Vegas if there had been a VAR at the game, according to a homi whittler. Since being involved in a rift with defender Julian Ryerson, Ten Hag was forced to leave Forson 38 minutes into United's 3-2 loss to the Bundesliga team at the Allegiant Stadium. Forson yelled out angrily at Ryerson, and was arrested in squaring up to Karim Adeyemi, who stepped in to protect his colleague.

According to reports, Real Madrid is interested in signing Borussia Dortmund striker Karim Adeyemi. Carlo Ancelotti's side is in dire need of a new forward after Karim Benzema's 14-year career in the Spanish capital came to an end in joining Saudi Arabia's club Al-Ittihad. As Sportbild reported, the LaLiga giants are keeping an eye on Adeyemi with the intention of making a move for him this summer.

Dortmund defeated Wolfsburg 6-0 on Sunday to put more pressure on league leader Bayern Munich. Karim Adeyemi, Sebastian Haller, and Donyell Malen's first half goals brought them to an impressive three points as the visitors struggled to find a way into the game. Adeyami added another after the break, with Jude Bellingham also finding the net twice in an impressive win.

Sascha Stegemann, 38, made a string of highly controversial decisions in Borussia Dortmund's 1-1 draw, which could see Bayern Munich reclaim top spot in the Bundesliga on Sunday. Karim Adeyemi was arrested midway through the second half with Bochum captain Anthony Losilla, who later admitted that it may have been a spot-kick. After admitting not to awarding a penalty, the German FA released a statement. Edin Terzic was arrested for opposition late Tuesday, when he finally appeared to completely lose his job after a judicial decision went against his side.

Borussia Dortmund's title chances were severely harmed on Friday after the pair stumbled to a 1-1 draw at struggling VfL Bochum in the mini Ruhr derby with four games remaining to play. Dortmund is up 61 points, two points ahead of second-placed Bayern Munich, who will take over the lead if they defeat bottom club Hertha Berlin on Sunday. Dortmund flocked to their first Bundesliga title in 11 years, looking far from shrewish contenders.

ADRIAN KAJUMBA AT STAMFORD BRIDGE: Graham Potter's name will be right up near the top of the list of managers with a little bit of luck. Not even his biggest doubters should be able to deny him the breaks he took against Borussia Dortmund. For the return, the in-form Germans were without their first-leg match winner Karim Adeyemi and equally determined, highly rated goalkeeper Gregor Kobel.

After Kai Havertz' elved his penalty for his second attempt to put Chelsea up in their Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund, fans applauded him. Chelsea trailed 1-0 from the first leg going into Tuesday night's match after Karim Adeyemi scored the game's only goal. However, Raheem Sterling leveled the game at Stamford Bridge just before halftime, and Havertz was given the opportunity to put his team ahead of aggregate as Chelsea were given a penalty for handball shortly after halftime.
