News about Michael Essien

The away goals rule has not been used in European tournaments since the 2021-22 season after UEFA announced that they would be abolishing the regulation that had been an intrinsic part of European tournaments since the 1960s. The regulation would certainly have some significance following Tuesday's opening round of Champions League quarter-final matches if it was still in place, with Arsenal holding Bayern Munich to a 2-2 draw at the Emirates, while Manchester City rallied to secure a 3-3 draw at the Bernabeu against Real Madrid.  Prior to 2021, it would mean that Arsenal would travel to the Allianz Arena in their second fixture and would need to attack against the Bundesliga Champions. City, meanwhile, would perhaps be more comfortable in their return leg against Madrid, should that game end in a draw - but anything can happen in football, right?

José Mourinho has humbly described how he had to tell former Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien to avoid using a particular name when he praised African players for their loyalty. Mourinho, who was fired as Roma head coach in January after a rough run of form, is now waiting for the next opportunity that will bring him right back to top-level football.

At Stamford Bridge on Saturday night, Chelsea Legends defeated Bayern Munich legends 4-0 thanks to goals from Michael Essien, John Terry, Gary Cahill, and Tiago. Petr Cech, Terry, Cahill, Jon Obi Mikel, and Michael Essien were among the Blues' impressive lineup, which included Petr Cech, Terry, Cahill, Jon Obi Mikel, and Michael Essien.

Robin van Persie (pictured), who has clearly got it, has it. Throughout his career, the former Manchester United and Arsenal star was known for his spectacular attacking skills and wonder goals. Those skills were put to the test again in a legends game against a Rangers line-up at Ibrox on Sunday, with Van Persie named in a World XI against a Rangers line-up at Ibrox. 'RVP' nearly scored an incredible overhead kick to top off his brace and fine assist in a social media video.

Michael Essien, a former Chelsea player, wrote a touching letter to his former colleague Christian Atsu, who said the Ghanai national is still wishing and praying for him. Following the devastating earthquake in southern Turkey and northern Syria in the early hours of Monday morning, the 31-year-old's whereabouts remain unknown after his new club Hatayspor revealed claims that he had been saved were untrue. Following the devastating 7.8-magnitude earthquake, more than 17,000 people were killed and thousands more injured, while millions of millions of others were left homeless. Tremors from the deadly quake, which lasted less than a minute and could have been Turkey's biggest ever, were felt as far away as Egypt, Lebanon, and Cyprus' island.

In the sweltering heat, Houston police have found a carjacker who shot and killed his sister before stealing his car and leaving his toddler outside to die.

The CHIEF SPORTS WRITER: Pot 2 was the winner. Pot 2 was the example of how Europe's richest clubs have arranged the UEFA's biggest tournament. In pot 2 there were eight clubs, six of which attempted to form a closed-shop Super League a year ago. Liverpool, Chelsea (bottom left), Tottenham (centre, drawn out by Yaya Toure), Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, and Juventus (top left) are now all living their second-best lives. Only Sevilla and RB Leipzig were excluded from the nefarious program. Four of the seven other clubs in the second round of the Champions League draw on Thursday were fourth, fourth in their leagues, two were second, and another second, but by 13 points. However, it didn't matter. Although six authentic national champions sat in pot 4 - the one that almost guarantees a hellish group-stage path - the rich but ineffective teams had to defend themselves by virtue of their historic co-efficiency. Marcus Rashford's unnecessary apology for swearing while celebrating his champion over Liverpool (right) reveals a man who is trying to live up to his pristine appearance.

In a discussion about three decades of the new top flight, Gary Neville has named Michael Essien and Louis Saha as his most underrated Premier League players. Neville, a former Manchester United defender, named the pair, as well as former Red Devil Saha, as the ones who made him remember about the unsung heroes he encountered while playing. Essien spent eight years at Chelsea, playing in a packed Blues midfield alongside players like Frank Lampard in his time in Stamford Bridge, where he gained two Premier League titles.
