Di Francesco and Sassuolo want to become Italy´s Leicester

Leicester City s remarkable Premier League title challenge has Eusebio Di Francesco s Sassuolo dreaming big in Serie A.

Having defied the odds throughout the season, Leicester are now just three matches away from hoisting the trophy aloft after routing Swansea City 4-0 on Sunday.

The rest of the world have stood up and taken notice of Champions League-bound Leicester, none more than Sassuolo, who are seventh in Serie A this term, having finished 12th in 2014-15.

It s a utopia [doing the same as Leicester], it s difficult, but we re getting closer, Di Francesco told Sky Sport Italia.

However, why can t we dream an Italian team repeating such a fairytale? That is something we can look to do.

Mbappe had to speak his mind but Giroud spat is behind us, says France captain Lloris

Kylian Mbappe needed clear-the-air talks with Olivier Giroud, but their argument is now in the past, according to France captain Hugo Lloris.

Les Bleus preparations for Euro 2020 have been overshadowed by an apparent spat between two of their forwards, which stems from the friendly win over Bulgaria last week.

Giroud indicated he was unhappy with some of the service he received in the 3-0 victory, comments that were perceived to be aimed specifically at Mbappe, who exchanged passes with the Chelsea forward just three times in 43 minutes.

The Paris Saint-Germain star admitted last weekend that he had been a little affected by Giroud s remarks, while coach Didier Deschamps held a discussion with both players.

Lloris said Mbappe felt the need to speak his mi…

Klopp: ´Exceptional´ Traore harder to defend against than Vardy

Jurgen Klopp warned his Liverpool players that keeping exceptional Wolves winger Adama Traore quiet will be even more difficult than shutting out Jamie Vardy.

Premier League top scorer Vardy was largely anonymous as Liverpool won 4-0 at second-place Leicester City on Thursday to move 13 points clear at the summit with a game in hand on the Foxes.

However, the runaway leaders face a quick turnaround in fixtures as they are back in action on Sunday with a home match against Nuno Espirito Santo s Wolves.

Klopp is expecting a tough test at Anfield and is particularly wary of the threat posed by versatile attacker Traore, who has starred on the right of a front three this term and scored twice in a win at Manchester City in October.

Finally, Traore has a ma…

Barcelona climb to second in LaLiga with comfortable win at Atletico Madrid

Robert Lewandowski played a starring role as Barcelona moved up to second place in LaLiga with a 3-0 win at Atletico Madrid.

Lewandowski set up on-loan forward Joao Felix to open the scoring against his parent club and doubled his side’s lead just 80 seconds into the second half.

The prolific Poland international then provided the cross for Fermin Lopez to head in the third in the 65th minute as Barca took full advantage of Girona’s defeat at Getafe on Saturday to move above them in the table.
