Along with the upcoming NBA Draft, free agency will also be a key talking point in this NBA offseason. According to ESPN league insider Adrian Wojnarowski, the transaction window will start on November 20 to where teams can go and try to bolster their lineups.

Liverpool 0-2 Atalanta Four minutes was all it took for Atalanta to do something that has never been done in a long time. The Gian Piero Gasperini-mentored club dealt Liverpool its first defeat in Anfield since 2017, and they did so methodically through their solid and well-thought out gameplan. Josip Ilicic and Robin Gosens scored one goal apiece as they
The 2020-21 NBA season is all set to start just days before Christmas, which means there will be a significantly shortened offseason this time around. That doesn’t give teams much time to make all the moves that the NBA has been known for over the past few years. However, there is already a lot of talk of potential deals involving
The Los Angeles Lakers are just over a month removed from winning the NBA championship, and with the way the offseason has unfolded, it looks like they’ve won again as their chances of defending the title have seemingly improved significantly.

There is a big sense of urgency to this offseason as several clubs are already gearing up for the 2020/21 NBA campaign. The Phoenix Suns and the Milwaukee Bucks have recently made trades in order to improve their roster, while the Brooklyn Nets are slowly turning into a viable destination for stars. After seeing major internal turnover over these past
It was a weekend full of stalemates in Serie A as a number of the top teams were unable to pick up wins. AC Milan most notably failed to extend their lead atop the table before the international break as they barely avoided a shock home defeat to Verona. Juventus were denied three points at the death by Lazio, while
With just over a quarter of the La Liga season through, Atletico Madrid find themselves in a great position in the title race. They extended their winning streak to six matches over the weekend and still have two games in hand which they can use to open up a sizable lead at the top. Meanwhile, their main rivals — Real
Liverpool vs Ajax Two games without a win is hardly a crisis, but for Liverpool it is certainly a rarity, and a situation which Reds fans would rather come to an end without delay.

Hertha Berlin vs Union Berlin It is going to be a matchup between East and West as Union Berlin fly over at the Olympiastadion to face off with Hertha Berlin this Friday evening. This will be the third installation of the East-West Berlin Derby here in the Bundesliga. In the last time that they met, Hertha Berlin thrashed their rivals
Chelsea 0-0 Tottenham Hotspur A winner-takes-all showdown at the Premier League summit. Both sides kicked off knowing a win would move them to the top of the table. Both sides, to be truthful, don’t like each other very much. Throw in the added intrigue of a master manager taking on an apprentice who has already beaten him in their previous
Everton 0-1 Leeds United When Leeds United completed the signing of winger Raphinha from Rennes on Premier League transfer deadline day, this SBOTOP writer was suitably impressed. Not only did it seem an astute piece of business by the newly promoted club but here was a player capable of producing Premier League highlights to delight neutrals (and Leeds fans!). He’s
Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur As Premier League meetings go, let’s not bill this as a meeting of two of London’s super-powers. Of course, it is such a clash but, primarily, it is far more than that. For there is simply no love lost between these two teams and, at times, that bad blood has even crossed beyond the acceptable, not
Olympiacos 0-1 Manchester City Manchester City went six points clear at the top of Champions League Group C tonight after dominating the entire 90-plus minutes against Olympiacos.

Inter Milan vs Real Madrid They are two of European football’s aristocracy for sure, but when Inter Milan and Real Madrid meet at the San Siro on Wednesday there will be some serious nerves jangling on both sides. Who would have thought that halfway through the Champions League group campaigns Real and Inter would be in third and fourth place
Paris Saint-Germain vs RB Leipzig Paris Saint-Germain have some work to do to get out of this year’s Champions League group stage. Last season’s losing finalists have won just one of their first three matches and are currently third in Group H. PSG will be eager to avoid another setback when they take on RB Leipzig for the third time
Atletico Madrid 1-0 Barcelona After nearly a decade-long drought, Atletico Madrid have finally claimed their first La Liga win over Barcelona under Diego Simeone. Yannick Carrasco’s goal deep in first-half stoppage time after a huge error from Barca keeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen was enough to secure a 1-0 victory at the Wanda Metropolitano. Atleti are suddenly looking like serious title
Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 Manchester City In the words of respected English football writer Henry Winter, this was vintage Jose Mourinho. Defend, defy, counter, score, repeat. For that is exactly what Tottenham Hotspur did here, led by box-office Mourinho, as Spurs moved to the summit of the Premier League. From start to finish, this was a game Manchester City dominated –
