CONTEXT The purpose of this study1 is to take advantage of the break in the national championships to analyse whether there are trends that show that age has an influence when choosing or betting on certain players. To do so, we will study how goals are distributed in the main European leagues, dividing the players […]
Apostolos Nikolaidis
Hello everybody again! I usually let my memories rest for a while before writing about my new experiences, but this time I couldn’t resist any longer to tell you about my latest adventure. I’m especially excited because I got to experience first hand a match in a stadium that I thought I wouldn’t get the […]
José Alvalade
There’s always a good reason to visit the multicultural Lisbon, whether it’s for its food, its people… or its football. As a lover of Portugal, I couldn’t pass up the chance to visit one of the most beautiful stadiums in Europe and home of one of the most important teams in the country, Sporting Clube […]
Marcelo
The best left-back in the history of Real Madrid (with the permission of Roberto Carlos) has said goodbye to the club of his life after sixteen seasons and a collection of titles only at the level of the greatest. In the 2006 winter transfer window, Real Madrid’s football management, led by the hero of the […]
Immobile
We are used to the headlines of Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi, but we often forget that one of the best strikers of recent years and Golden Shoe in 2020, Ciro Immobile, plays in Italy.

Estadio Municipal de Braga
When we start a new year we always tend to take balance of the year we have finished and 2021 will be remembered for being also complicated by the pandemic, but from this place I wanted to share with you in this first post of 2022 a lovely experience as it was the return to […]
Alaba
In this past transfer market plagued by the drop in revenue due to the COVID 19 pandemic, we came across one of the signings of the year… at zero cost. We are talking about the Austrian David Alaba. The new signing for Real Madrid is an all-rounder who can adapt to many positions, as well […]
Stade Vélodrome
In the heart of Marseille, the gateway to the luxurious French Côte d’Azur or also called the port of North Africa, we find the Stade Vélodrome, home of a European champion, Olympique de Marseille. Perhaps because I also belong to a neighbourhood with a well-defined idiosyncrasy, I always felt sympathy for OM and I always […]
Lukaku
The prodigal son returns home. Reigning European champions Chelsea and Romelu Lukaku are joining forces again seven years later. The player, of Congolese origin, began his career at Anderlecht, where he became top scorer in the Belgian championship at just 16 years of age. Such was his precociousness that the big teams quickly turned their […]
