Man City remind Arsenal of their ruthless late-season form as title race pressure mounts

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has expressed his sadness at the impending exit of the club’s director of football as speculation grows about the Catalan coach’s own future with the team.

Enzo Alves, son of former Real Madrid and Brazil left back Marcelo, was called up for Spain’s under-17 national team on Tuesday.

Carlo Ancelotti has denied that Real Madrid’s top-of-the table clash with Girona on Saturday will decide which team wins the LaLiga title, but said Madrid will have to be at their best against a side who “have done better than anybody” this season.
