When Paris Saint-Germain made their world-record €222million move for Neymar in 2017, Barcelona were caught off-guard as the Ligue 1 giants paid the forward s release clause and left the Catalans powerless.
Barca could only sit and watch as the Brazilian made his exit, stepping from the shadow of Lionel Messi in the hope of usurping his former team-mate and Cristiano Ronaldo in the battle for the Ballon d Or.
While things haven t exactly gone to plan for Neymar in Paris, Barca certainly appear to have learned from their mistake with respect to release clauses and the opportunity they present clubs willing to spend big.
Friday s announcement of Antoine Griezmann s arrival also brought confirmation of the club inserting a whopping €800m release clause in the F…

Liverpool s hopes of winning the Premier League title this season took a hit on Tuesday evening, as Leicester City managed to grab all three points against them at the King Power Stadium, courtesy of a solitary strike by Ademola Lookman.
Deserved defeat for Liverpool
The result of this match will have come as great shock to many, though it s not too hard to explain what happened. The first thing to say is that most Liverpool players produced surprisingly poor individual performances. Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip in the heart of the defence, along with Kostas Tsimikas who took up the place of suspended Andy Robertson on their left, put in a decent effort. The rest of the team, to put it simply, looked like they hadn t had any breakfast that morning.

Spartak submit mega offer for Cardozo
Russian newspaper that Spartak Moscow have launched an assault on Benfica striker Oscar Cardozo.
The Paraguayan was believed to be on the verge of a switch to Fenerbahce, having been in talks with the Turkish giants, but it appears the Canaries have cooled their interest in the player.
Namely, they have turned their attention to long-term target Emmanuel Emenike, who plies his trade at Spartak Moscow.
The Russian side have in turn expressed their interest in Cardozo, with Izvestia reporting they have offered no less than €18 million for his services.
Spartak boss Valery Karpin believes the Paraguayan is a better option that Emenike and he is hoping to close the deal for the 30-year-old in the coming days.<…
Lionel Messi is an injury doubt for Barcelona s trip to Malaga, after being withdrawn at half-time in Wednesday s draw with Atletico Madrid.
The Argentina international could only manage 45 minutes as a Neymar header saw Barcelona come from behind to secure a 1-1 draw at the Vicente Calderon in the first leg of the Supercopa de Espana.
Messi has been plagued with muscular issues at the start of the campaign, and was a doubt for the club s opening fixture against Levante last Sunday.
But he recovered in time to score twice as Barcelona stormed to a 7-0 win at Camp Nou.
However, the club confirmed on their official website that he has bruised the femoral biceps tendon in his left thigh, and he now faces a race against time to feature at the Estadio La Rosaleda on S…
Dear Liverpool supporters,
It has been a tumultuous week. On behalf of everyone at Fenway Sports Group and Liverpool Football Club, we would like to apologise for the distress caused by our ticket pricing plan for the 2016-17 season.
The three of us have been particularly troubled by the perception that we don’t care about our supporters, that we are greedy, and that we are attempting to extract personal profits at the club’s expense. Quite the opposite is true.
From our first days as owners we have understood that serving as custodians of this incredible institution is a distinct privilege and as such, we have been driven solely by the desire to return LFC to the pinnacle of football. In the world of modern football, growing the club in a sustainable way is …

Oar, 24, left Ipswich Town in January and was linked with numerous clubs, including teams in China and Sydney FC.

Mats Hummels late header snatched a 2-1 win for Germany over Czech Republic as the world champions extended their perfect record in Group C of World Cup qualifying.
Vladimir Darida s wondergoal appeared to have given Czech Republic a boost in their attempt to reach the 2018 World Cup when his brilliant strike picked out the top corner from 25 yards.
But the world champions had other ideas and made it seven wins out of seven thanks to Hummels powering in a header from a flighted Toni Kroos free-kick with only three minutes remaining at the Eden Arena on Friday.
RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner earned a starting berth with three goals in four appearances at the Confederations Cup and he justified his selection in attack almost immediately.
