Neymar leaves Paris St Germain for Saudi side Al Hilal

Sergio Aguero is Manchester City s all-time leading goalscorer after beating Eric Brook s club record that stood unchallenged for 79 years.

The Argentina international s strike against Napoli in the Champions League on Wednesday moved him on to 178 in City colours, a landmark he has reached in an impressive 264 games.

Since joining from Atletico Madrid in 2011, the 29-year-old has firmly established himself as a crowd favourite on the back of countless superb displays and one goal in particular.

Aguero has won two Premier League titles and as many EFL Cups during his time at the Etihad Stadium. As he and boss Pep Guardiola eye further honours this season, we look back at 10 of the most memorable moments in his record haul.

Gareth Bale sets scene for all Madrid final / Image via skysports.com

With only one goal standing between the two sides, Real Madrid emerged victorious from their UEFA Champions League semi-final two-legged tie with Manchester City.

Gareth Bale appeared to be scorer of the sole goal at the Wednesday’s match at Santiago Bernaberu, but his deflected shot has been accredited as an own goal by Manchester City’s Fernando. Welshman’s goal drought has thus been extended to 12 Champions League, with former Tottenham man going close to 11 months in the competition.

Setting the scene for the showpiece event in Milano, Real Madrid have nevertheless booked their place in the final match where they will have to face their local rivals – Atletico Madrid.

Joachim Low may have been left embarrassed by footage of his touchline behaviour on Sunday, but Germany forward Lukas Podolski has laughed off questions on the issue, insisting: This is not a topic for the team.

There was much amusement on social media when clips emerged of Low apparently placing a hand down the front of his trousers before raising it to his nose, during his side s opening Euro 2016 fixture against Ukraine.

However, while Low s actions may have entertained many, Podolski insists the incident has not been discussed by Germany s players.

This is not a topic for the team, he said. I think 80 per cent of you, and also me, sometimes scratch their balls. So it s all good.

Having beaten Ukraine 2-0, Germany s next assignment is a clash wit…

Barcelona great Iniesta is departing Camp Nou for Japan this off-season, signing for Vissel Kobe after a glittering European career.

Janne Andersson will replace Erik Hamren as Sweden coach after Euro 2016, the Swedish Football Federation (SvFF) has announced.

Hamren confirmed in February that he would step down from his role with the national team after the tournament in France, seven years after replacing Lars Lagerback in 2009.

Sweden qualified for Euro 2016 after a dramatic play-off victory over neighbours Denmark, a Zlatan Ibrahimovic double in Copenhagen completing a 4-3 aggregate triumph.

Andersson guided IFK Norrkoping to the Allsvenskan championship in 2015 – their first in 26 years – and has presided over one win from the opening two games of their title defence.

Right now I m just humbled and grateful, he told the SvFF website. It is an honour and a challenge that wil…

Sevilla are on the brink of creating history.

While their Champions League campaign this season may have fallen short of their hopes, the Spanish club find themselves in familiar territory with a third Europa League final appearance in as many years.

After wins over Benfica and Dnipro in 2014 and 2015, Sevilla are one match away from becoming the first side to lift the trophy in three successive seasons, with a meeting with Liverpool at St Jakob-Park on Wednesday the final hurdle.

Here, we take a look at how they booked a spot in Basle.
