Bayern Munich's Harry Kane has topped the Bundesliga scoring charts for two seasons running, and the England striker is well on course to make that a hat-trick as the league gets ready to enter the final quarter of the season. Let's look at the leading pack for the top scorer's crown, featuring Deniz Undav and Serhou Guirassy...

Borussia Dortmund scored twice in second-half stoppage time to secure a 2-0 victory over Champions League-chasing Stuttgart. It was a cagey affair at MHPArena as Dortmund failed to find any sort of rhythm with the ball, though Karim Adeyemi and Julian Brandt made the difference off the bench to see Niko Kovac’s side snatch a […] The post Stuttgart 0-2 Borussia Dortmund: Adeyemi and Brandt strike in dramatic stoppage-time victory appeared first on Soccer News.

Bayern Munich have scored three goals or more in 21 out of 27 Bundesliga games this season. With eight matchdays remaining, numerous records could still be broken as the defending champions, Harry Kane and Michael Olise aim for the stars…

As we approach the business end of the season, Bayern Munich remain on course for the treble. April, though, could define their season as they compete in the final stages of the Bundesliga, the DFB Cup and the UEFA Champions League.

If the corresponding fixture between these sides earlier this season is anything to go by, Bundesliga fans across the globe are in for a treat when VfB Stuttgart welcome Borussia Dortmund to the MHP Arena on Matchday 28.

Borussia Dortmund will travel to UEFA Champions League hopefuls VfB Stuttgart on Matchday 28 with their sights set on an unlikely, but still possible, late sprint to the Bundesliga title. To do that, however, they’ll have to overcome a side who they’re winless against in their last seven games.

Liverpool’s defensive rebuild this summer is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about stories heading into the transfer window — and the name at the centre of it all is Chelsea’s Josh Acheampong. With Virgil van Dijk turning 35 in July, Ibrahima Konaté out of contract, and Joe Gomez continuing to struggle with injuries, Arne Slot’s side are in genuine need of defensive reinforcements. And according to reports, Acheampong is firmly in their sights. The Hybrid Defender Everyone Wants At just 19 years old, Acheampong has quickly emerged as one of the most intriguing young prospects ahead of the summer 2026 transfer window — a new breed of “hybrid” defender equally comfortable at right-back or centre-back. Liverpool aren’t alone in their admiration either. Real Madrid, Newcastle United, and Borussia Dortmund are also among the clubs vying for his signature. Chelsea’s Stance Is Clear — For Now Here’s the snag. Transfer journalist Pete O’Rourke has dismissed speculation that Chelsea could sell Acheampong to Liverpool, stating the club has “no interest in sanctioning a sale” and simply does not want to lose him. However, a lack of regular game time in 2026 has fuelled reports that Acheampong could push for [...] The post Liverpool lining up move for Josh Acheampong appeared first on Football Extras.

Jimbo's accompanied by Charlie Eccleshare, Mark Carey and Duncan Alexander for a closer inspection of Wednesday night's Champions League action - and a look ahead to MD11 in the Premier League. In the UCL there was end-to-end chaos in Bruges, potentially costly dropped points for Chelsea out in Azerbaijan - and a sensational header from Dan Burn as Newcastle picked up their third straight European victory. But - as City blew away Dortmund - is the disparity between the Premier League and the other sides across the continent growing bigger and bigger? Then it's back to domestic affairs - and the small matter of Manchester City v Liverpool on Sunday afternoon as both sides seek out a win to try and keep pace with leaders Arsenal. But could the Gunners have already stretched the gap to nine points if they can be the first side to win at the Stadium of Light this season on Saturday evening? All that plus the Europa League final rematch, the battle for Pease Pottage services - and bags of snakes. Produced by Charlie Jones and Lucy Oliva.

Borussia Dortmund promise to address criticism after their new away kit debuted in a win over Heidenheim.

Back in the summer of 2020, Jimbo and co passed the time reviewing classic Premier League and Champions League campaigns. Here from the vault, we bring you the thoughts of James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein and Duncan Alexander on the 1996/97 Champions League season, the last one with only champions in it It was also the last time that Juventus were defending champions and the only time Borussia Dortmund went all the way and won the trophy in Munich.

Steve Crossman & BBC Sport Wales’ Dafydd Pritchard look at how the Welsh FA are fast becoming world leaders in producing elite coaches – with the likes of Mikel Arteta, Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira being just some of many illustrious products of the FAW’s coaching system. In this episode the guys head to Newport, where they’re given access to the FAW's 2025 Pro License course in Newport, and speak to some of this year's candidates who graduate this summer. You’ll hear from the likes of former Arsenal defender Gaël Clichy, who talks about spending time with the SAS as part of the course. Nuri Şahin opens up about his research project on the All Blacks and why he wanted to study culture after being sacked by Borussia Dortmund in January this year, and Wales Manager Craig Bellamy discusses his love of Japanese culture and why part of his approach to coaching is to try to 'save people' from the mistakes he made.

While both sides suffered second-leg defeats, it was PSG and Barcelona that progressed to the Champions League semifinals. Musa and Ryan begin at Villa Park, where Aston Villa beat PSG 3-2 on the night (02:33) and very nearly sent the game into extra time. Barcelona also had a scare at the Westfalenstadion (25:49), where they lost to Borussia Dortmund—thanks to a Serhou Guirassy hat trick—but ultimately did enough to push through, leaving Barça to face a clash with either Bayern or Inter.

Luis Enrique will enjoy a 'cervecita' while he watches Real Madrid's tie with Arsenal. Jude Bellingham eyes a comeback, whilst also wanting his team-mates to run more. Mikel Arteta insists that his Arsenal side have no fear. And just who are Manchester United eying to possibly replace Andre Onana?

Jimbo’s joined by Natalie Gedra, Tom Williams and Duncan Alexander to run the rule over a breathtaking midweek of Champions League action. It turns out Declan Rice is a free-kick specialist?! Lamine Yamal is ludicrously good at football and the man old enough to be his dad Robert Lewandowski isn’t too bad either. PSG prove why they’ve been touted as favourites to win this competition after bamboozling a spirited Villa, plus dark horses Inter take an advantage back to the San Siro. Away from all the European fun, another big week of Premier League football awaits. Can Liverpool get back on track against West Ham? And is Mo Salah staying after all?! Can Manchester City get over their recent Crystal Palace hoodoo? Is this the weekend Newcastle take advantage in the race for a top five finish? And can Chelsea avoid the indignity of letting Ipswich do the double over them?

Jimbo’s joined by Julien Laurens, Seb Stafford-Bloor, Pol Ballús and Michael Cox for your weekly dose of European action. We begin with the big F-bomb controversy which has taken La Liga by storm, Nabil Bentaleb’s dream return to action for Lille - and a look ahead to the all-important Champions League Knockout Round Play-off second legs, with Real v Man City topping the midweek billing. Elsewhere in Spain, the costly red cards for Bellingham and Barrios meant Real and Atleti left the door wide open for Barcelona who faced Rayo Vallecano on Monday night (after we’d recorded) - and it turns out that Antony fella is actually quite good - after making in three goals in three games at new home Betis… Over in Germany, it looks like Bayern Munich have one hand on the Bundesliga title after their goalless draw with closest rivals Bayer Leverkusen means the gap at the top of the table stays at eight points. Elsewhere the domestic misery continues to pile on Borussia Dortmund, beaten 2-0 by Bochum and sitting 11th in the league. In Italy, Juventus continued their surge up the Serie A table with a 1-0 win over Inter in the Derby d'Italia. It means Simone Inzaghi’s side missed the chance to go top after leaders Napoli had fallen to their third consecutive draw, held 2-2 by Lazio. And in Ligue 1, Fabian Ruiz bagged the only goal against Toulouse as PSG maintained their 10-point lead at the top of the table while Mika Biereth continued his remarkable start to life in Monaco with his second hat-trick in as many home games in their 7-1 thrashing of Nantes.
