The have raised questions regarding whether he will still be able to sell the club.

Following Ru sia's invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, the UK government has frozen Abramovich's a sets, including Chelsea.

As a consequence, Chelsea will not be able to sell any further match tickets or merchandise, and they aren't permitted to buy or sell players. But the Blues are able to continue to operate as a football club under a special football license granted by the government.

What, though, do the sanctions mean in terms of Abramovich Kwon Alexander Jerseys being able to sell Chelsea?

The special football license that was i sued does not addre s a potential sale of the club. Abramovich announced that he was entertaining bids on March 2, over a full week before the sanctions hit.

According to , Chelsea can still be sold if the proce s involves the UK government. The report states that potential buyers remain interested in the club despite the sanctions.

If the club was sold, then the government would be involved in determining the destination of any funds raised.

Reuters' Simon Evans shared a statement by the spokesperson Cameron Jordan Jerseys for the Prime Minister that a special license from the government would be required to execute a sale and it would see the UK Treasury involved.

Chelsea sale could happen. Number ten spokesman says "The government is open to the sale of the club" But would Deonte Harris Jerseys require another licence and "that would require a further conversation with the Treasury"

According to The Telegraph's reporter Matt Law, it appears that Abramovich has the choice of either handing over a sale to the government or risk holding on to it and potentially watching it lose value as Chelsea's standing is damaged by his and the club's inability to conduct regular football busine s and transactions.

reporter Laura Scott wrote: "My understanding is that the Government is open in the future to considering a license that would permit the sale of Chelsea FC, but it would have conditions so that the proceeds would not be able to go to Abramovich.'

That's a similar scenario shared by Chris Smyth of who indicated the key is that Abramovich is not the recipient of any proceeds from a potential sale:

Incentive for Abramovich to sell presumably that proceeds from any sale, tho frozen indefinitely, won't lose value as fast as a top club that can't sell or buy. And hope to get sanctions removed at quieter time.Buyers will know this and price must fall significantly

say that Abramovich's asking Jalen Dalton Jerseys price for Chelsea is $4 billion, with one offer of $3.3 billion having already been previously rejected. But that was prior to the sanctions. Those numbers would represent a record sale for a football club.

Abramovich, who said he would , previously stated that net proceeds from the sale would be donated to victims of the war in Ukraine.

On Wednesday it was reported by that British property tycoon Nick Candy was Caleb Benenoch Jerseys working on a bid of $3.3 billion for Chelsea, joining a growing list of interested parties.

Abramovich also received an offer from a consortium fronted by Todd Boehly and Swi s billionaire Hansjorg Wy s. Boehly is a part-owner of MLB side the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Given that selling the club could now prove problematic, there have been suggestions that Abramovich could end up keeping Chelsea.

However, such a scenario surely wouldn't be ideal for the club should sanctions remain in place.

Liam Twomey of The Athletic states that launching a legal challenge would only serve Abramovich's personal interests, to the detriment of the club.

If Abramovich is serious about acting in the best interests of Chelsea, the only choice is to walk away ASAP & hand control over any sale to the UK Government. Launching a lengthy legal challenge would only serve his personal interests to the detriment of the club

If Abramovich remained as Chelsea owner then there is Rickey Jackson Jerseys a risk of the club being hampered for a prolonged period should sanctions still apply.

Pune City head coach Ranko Popovic was satisfied by the performance of his team as they played out a goalle s draw against Bengaluru FC in the first leg of their Indian Super League (ISL) semi-final.

The Stallions created chances to score but could not put the ball into the back of the net as they squandered theirchance to take advantage of the home leg Las Vegas Raiders Hats .

"I am satisfied. I hope I will be happy on Sunday (March 11, 2018) night (after the second-leg). Neither team wanted to make a mistake and lose the advantage. I think this game was very competitive. It was interesting. We drew tonight but Indian football won," said Popovic.

"We have to be ready for everything (in the second leg). What we have to do is score goals, what Nate Hobbs Jerseys we want to do is score goals and win the game there. Both teams will want to score goals."

ISL has introduced the away-goal rule this season and Pune City can now make use of that when they take on Bengaluru at the Kanteerava Stadium on March 11. Popovic's men have performed Derek Carr T Shirts well in away games and held the Blues to a 1-1 draw at their own turf in the league stage.

"We did not want to be better in away games, we wanted to be good both home and away. We have to be smart, today's (Wednesday) was a smart game. When we play like a team, we are really good and competitive and we can beat everyone.

I am satisfied with the performance, not the result. Today, our work was Davante Adams Jerseys very hard but very good. We don't have to change too much, we only have to believe in ourselves."

The Serbian coach also touched upon the support from the crowd in Pune as well as hisstint in India.

"Today (Wednesday) it was fantastic to play in Pune. If they (supporters) believe in you, you have to repay that belief. The supporters have been fantastic.

ISL experience has been fantastic for me so far. Ken Stabler Jerseys The organisation of this league has been of the highest level. If I am here next season, I will enjoy it. If I am not, I will enjoy this from far away but I cannot tell you about it right now," said Popovic who also felt that the refereeing was quite okay on the Bryan Edwards Jerseys day.

"I was praying to not have the same referee from our last two games but today's referee was good."

Filipe Luis is in danger of mi sing the World Cup after suffering a broken leg during Matthew Judon Jerseys Atletico Madrid's Europa League clash with Lokomotiv Moscow.

The Brazil international was substituted after 62 minutes of Thursday's second-leg tie, which Atleti won 5-1 to progre s8-1 on aggregate, after being left writhing in pain followinga last-ditch challenge with Lokomotiv forward Eder.

Having Nelson Agholor Jerseys been caught by the striker's follow-through, Filipe Luis left the pitch on a stretcher, with coach Diego Simeone expre sing his concern for the defender in a post-match interview.

Atleti's fears wererealised Brandon King Jerseys following checks on theirreturn to Madrid, the LaLiga club confirming the details Shaun Wade Jerseys of the 32-year-old's injury on Friday.

"Filipe Luis underwent radiological tests as soon as he arrived in Madrid,which have confirmed that he suffered a fracture of the fibula ofhis left leg,"a statement read.

The extent of the fracture - and how long Davon Godchaux Jerseys Filipe Luis will be sidelined for - remains unclear.

Should he be unavailable for the tournament in Ru sia New England Patriots Jerseys then Brazil will not be short of options at left-back, with Real Madrid's Marcelo and Juventus' Alex Sandro the likeliest pair to be selected in Filipe Luis' absence.

Manchester City ace Phil Foden has made the top five ofthis year's NxGn series, Goal's annual list of the most talented youngsters in world football.

Although long billed as one of the Premier League club's most promising prospects, the 17-year-old midfielder has enjoyed a remarkable rise to prominence over the past 12 months, starring for both club and country.

Only last summer, City bo s Pep Guardiola was left dumbstruck by Foden's playmaking skills in a pre-season friendly against Manchester United in the United States.

"Its a long time since I have seen something like this," the former Barcelona midfielder enthused. "His performance was on Lucas Patrick Jerseys another level."

Foden then starred for the England side that reached the final of the European Under-17 Championship in Croatia in May, putting his side Yosh Nijman Jerseys 2-1 ahead in the tournament decider only to see Spain fight back totriumph on penalties.

However, the Stockport native was not to be denied international honours in 2017, as he inspired the Three Lions to victory in the Under-17 World Cup in India in October.

Indeed, Foden was named player of the tournament, after netting three times, including twice in a stunning 5-2 win over Spain Josh Jackson Jerseys in the final.

The following month, he made his Manchester City debut in a Champions League game against Feyenoord, before being handed his Premier League bow in a win over Tottenham in December.

Guardiola is convinced that Foden is now destined for great things at the Etihad Stadium, pointing out:"Hes 17-years-old, hes a City player, he grew up in the Kevin King Jerseys academy, he loves the club, hes a City fan and for us hes a gift."

We now know that Foden has made the top five of this year's NxGn, which ranks the top 50 players in the world born on or after January 1, 1999.However, will he finish top of the pile?

All Chandon Sullivan Jerseys will be revealed on Wednesday when the full list is published at 1200GMT.

Morroco coach Herve Renard has admitted that he is struggling for a plan to contain striker Cristiano Ronaldo on Wednesday.

The North Africans will take on Portugal at the Luzhniki Stadium and face a Jason Cabinda Jerseys tough task to get out of Group B at the World Cup, having lost their opener 1-0 to Iran.

The 33-year-old Parnell Motley Jerseys Ronaldo became the oldest player to score a hat-trick in the tournament in his side's opening 3-3 draw with Spain, drawing level with Ferenc Puskas as Europe's most prolific international goal scorer on 84 in the proce s.

Renard has now admitted that it will be tricky to come up with a plan to deal with not only him (Ronaldo), but the rest of Portugal's talented front line.

Even if you Jim Cain Jerseys conjure up the best plans to halt Ronaldo, he will find a way to break free. He always makes the difference, at the minimum Frank Ragnow Jerseys to put his side on the right track and at best to win the game for them, Renard told a pre s conference on Tuesday.

Those who try to mount a plan against him, he always manages Daryl Worley Jerseys to find something to make the difference. He's an exceptional player. The word may not even be strong enough, but we must do everything to make it le s exceptional.

If we put three on Ronaldo, they have so much offensive quality. If it only happens once in our lives to play Quintez Cephus Jerseys Cristiano Ronaldo, you have to be the best you can.

Moroccos 1-0 defeat by Iran has put them under pre sure to secure a positive result and revive their chances of progre sing to the knockout stages.

Remembering her second debut, Alba Palacios eyes glaze over Ashtyn Davis Jerseys with happine s as she recalls the high point of her life in football.

Palacios scored 20 minutes into her first appearance for Las Rozas in Primera Nacional, the third tier of womens football in Spain. Remembering that goal, back in September 2018, automatically brings a smile to the wingers face.

She is speaking exclusively to Goal via Zoom and a translator. However, when describing how she felt at that moment, no translation is nece sary.

Flote," she says. I felt like I was flying. It was my best moment.

This was her second debut in football, and her first as Alba. Palacios is one of barely a handful of transgender women playing the sport at even a semi-profe sional level acro s Europe.

Born in Madrid, Palacios played mens football until she was 24, with fourth tier club Pozuelo de Alarcon, whom she had been with since the age of 10.

It was during a training se sion with Pozuelo de Alarcon where Palacios felt the first pangs of knowing something was not quite right.

I was 12, we were having a practice se sion, there was a se sion for the boys and one for the girls, she says.

I really wanted to be with the girls, I desperately wanted to be playing with them. But it wasnt until I was 21 when I felt really convinced and secure that I wanted to transition.

She fell out of playing football for several years but returned to the game as Alba at the age of La'Mical Perine Jerseys 32 as she began hormone treatment, signing with Las Rozas before moving on to fellow third tier club Samper.

She impre sed in the lower leagues, and last season signed for Primera Division club Madrid CFF. However, injuries stopped her making her first-team debut in the top division of womens football before Covid-19 struck and halted football completely.

Now with Torrelodones CF, currently top of , the 35-year-old is pleased with her career but would have played football at any level, and with any gender team-mates.

I go first, and then soccer. That is my life rule, she says. I dont rely on soccer to carry on with my life if I couldnt play at a high level, I would be happy to play in an amateur league.

When I was just starting hormone treatment, I was still playing with boys. If they made me play with men, I would have no problem, even knowing I would have a disadvantage.

While in some nations especially the United Kingdom vicious debate has emerged regarding transgender people in everyday life, let alone sport, Palacios has always felt that the Spanish football authorities have been supportive.

They made Jonathan Marshall Jerseys it all happen and they let me play before I completed two years since the start of the hormone therapy,so Im grateful from the bottom of my heart for what theyve done for me and the transgender community,

A couple of years on, Palacios remains as positive about her experiences even when it comes to opponents and opposition fans.

She says: I have always C.J. Mosley Jerseys been treated just like another member of the team, no matter who I have played for. I have always got along well with team-mates.

I have been very lucky. I have not had any bad commentsfrom team-mates, opponents or fans. There was one game, there were fans calling and beckoning me, but they wanted selfies. They were asking for pictures of me!

I have played with all sorts of players, but I never go le s than full effort. There are opposition players who are stronger and taller than me; my personal experience is often that I am the one getting hurt, instead of the other way around.

"I dont feel Michael Carter II Jerseys , just because I am transgender, that I am stronger or have some kind of advantage.

There are strict rules governing whether transgender players are eligible to play in mens or womens football. Palacios is tested twice a season to ensure her hormones are at a low enough level to ensure that there are not any biological differences between her and the other 21 women on the field.

For Palacios, the case is black and white, and critics of her right to play the game she loves need to show more understanding.

She says: There are rules about hormones that I should have and, in the end, it should not be a debate because these are levels that you can measure; it is science. Every six months, I have tests to make sure I am ok.

It should not be a debate because these are strict rules. There are just a lot of team-mates better than me."

Her coach at Las Rozas, David Herrero, put it plainly in 2018: The competitions are run in terms of sex, not levels of testosterone. Chuma Edoga Jerseys Some women produce more than others. Albas testosterone has fallen with the hormone treatments.

"Biologically, she can compete with women because shes a woman.Her abilities have been developed over her life and have nothing to do with her sex."

While others argue, Palacios takes a serene view of the situation in which her love of the game is the deciding factor.

I only wanted to play soccer, she says. I wasnt thinking about getting to the top division. I just wanted to play soccer, where I feel I belong.

I never thought that I wanted a big offer to go to a great team, or to play for the national team. I just wanted to play soccer and be happy.

Jose Mourinho has revealed the Jason Taylor Jerseys reason behind Anthony Martial's recent upturn in form at Manchester United.

The relationship between player and manager has regularly been a talking point throughout the pair's time working together at Old Trafford and looked only to be resolved with speculation Martial would leave the club duringthe summer transfer market.

following the Frenchman's Liam Eichenberg Jerseys decision to leave the club's pre-season tour of the United States.

Martial was subsequently left out of Mourinho's first-team plans and a move away looked increasingly likely, though his sparkling form in recent weeks has seen an unexpected change of heart from his manager.

Five goals in the forward's last six Jakeem Grant Jerseys United appearances has seen while supporters named Martial the club's October Player of the Month.

And Mourinho has explained how he's worked with Martial - who has also - to bring the best out of him in recent weeks.

I never gave up, Mourinho told the club's official website. Tyreek Hill T Shirts I never gave up my feelings that this was the right way for him, even if he had to go through difficult moments.

I knew that for him to become a really top player, he needed to overcome some barriers that I put on the road for him. It is up to his talent, because he has phenomenal talent.

It was just a question of Jason Sanders Jerseys him understanding what a top player is because there is a big difference between a top talent and a top player.

United travel acro s Manchester this weekend to take on Pep Guardiola's City in a highly-anticipated derby clash.

Mourinho's side sit nine points behind their rivals going into the fixture, having already lost to Brighton, Tua Tagovailoa T Shirts Tottenham and West Ham.

Carlo Ancelotti believes Roma will have revenge on the mind Cornelius Lucas Jerseys when they face Liverpool in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final on Tuesday.

The Serie A side are tantalisingly close to their first final appearance in European football's elitecompetition since losing to the Merseyside club on penalties in the 1984 final at their own stadium.

Ancelotti, who played for Romabetween Montez Sweat Jerseys 1979 and 1987, mi sed thatgame through injury, but believes the impact of that defeat still lingers and will motivate the current crop of players over their two clashes with Jurgen Klopp's side.

He told Omnisport at the Match for Solidarity: "I did not play that Darrick Forrest Jerseys game because, unfortunately, I was injured.

"And they lost because I was not playing that night.

"The Roma-Liverpool final will always be a sad memory for me Jahan Dotson T Shirts , and it will be the same for Roma's supporters.

"I was in Rome on the day of Bruno Conti's retirement and I told everyone there that football will always give you a chance at revenge. And this can be a great chance for Roma.

"It's impo sible Kyle Shurmur Jerseys to erase that defeat, but of course they can avenge the 1984 final.

"It Darrell Green Jerseys will be tough because Liverpool are in great form.

"But Roma did amazing against Barcelona and they can reach the final."

Dusan Vlahovic had never played in the UEFA Champions League before the Round of 16 first leg match at Villarreal on Feb. 22, but the Juventus January star signing didn't look one bit out of place in the competition.

Vlahovic put Juventus Grover Stewart Jerseys ahead on the road after just 33 seconds, scoring the quickest debut goal by a starter in the history of the Champions League.

The 22-year-old demonstrated why Juventus were so eager to sign him, with Vlahovic replacing Cristiano Ronaldo as the face of the club's forward line following the latter's return to Manchester United last summer.

Juventus still have much to work on as a unit, with the game ending 1-1 after Dani Parejo got a goal back for Villarreal in the second half.

Despite the failure to hold on to the lead, and a ma sive injury casualty in American Weston McKennie, Juventus fans will come away from the match feeling more optimistic than ever about the impact that Vlahovic could have, doing things on the field that even Ronaldo wasn't able to.

It created some sensation when Vlahovic used an expert control and turn to singlehandedly beat the Villarreal backline after le s than a minute had elapsed.

It turns out he beat former German international Andy Moller by four seconds for the fastest goal from the start of a game by a Champions League debutant:

Dusan Vlahovic's goal is officially the fastest debut goal by a player in the , beating Andreas Moller's set in 1995.It only took him 33 seconds.

32 seconds.Dusan Vlahovics first goal is the fastest by a debutant in the competition.

There was one debutant who came off the bench for his Champions League debut and who made even more of an instant impact: Sevilla's Yevhen Konoplyanka.

Players who needed the least time to net on their Champions League debuts 19 sec Konoplyanka* (Sevilla) in 2015 33 sec VLAHOVIC (Juve) in 2022 37 sec Andy Mller (Dortmund) in 1995 41 sec Gary McSwegan* (Rangers) in 1992 * off the bench.

Vlahovic was signed primarily to score goals, but he offers much more than just that. AgainstVillarreal he demonstrated that his link-up play is also of a high standard as he frequently combined with his teammates in the opening period.

In addition, forward teammate Alvaro Morata seemed to relish being able to play with Vlahovic. The attacking burden Eric Fisher Jerseys was shared between the two.

Unfazed by the big stage, Vlahovic showed he could help to make Juventus more of a cohesive unit as opposed to when Ronaldo was rather individualistic at times.

But what stood out more than Vlahovic's selfle s running and his combining with teammates was his clever movements off the ball. Whenever po sible, Juventus looked to play long balls into the path of their center forward, though he was equally comfortable receiving po se sion with shorter pa ses.

As the first half wore on it became harder for Vlahovic to get the ball, but he continued to make good runs as he looked for space. In the Tony Brown Jerseys second half he was somewhat starved of service, but he still had one opportunity with a quickly-taken effort after being found by Morata.

There is no doubt that Ronaldo made a huge contribution for Juventus he scored 101 goals in 134 games for the club. Now, though, Juventus are looking to the future, with Vlahovic leading the attack.

Although he had mixed succe s to start his Juventus career he scored on his debut against Hellas Verona and forced an own-goal winner in the Italian Cup against Sa suolo, before failing to find the Malik Hooker Jerseys net against Atalanta and Torino it is clear that Vlahovic is an injection of quality and Juventus will be heavily dependent on him as they look to progre s both domestically and in the Champions League.

His goal against Villarreal was a fantastic solo effort from a difficult angle with his weaker foot. Once he builds greater chemistry with his teammates, they should be able to work better together as a unit and Vlahovic won't have to go it alone.

But if Vlahovic wants to really stand out from Ronaldo they both wear the No. 7 jersey for the Old Lady he will want to make a greater Champions League impact than his predece sor did.

Juventus brought Ronaldo in to help take them over the top in the UEFA Champions League, but it never happened. The club wasn't able to progre s beyond the quarterfinals of the tournament during his years with the club.

If Vlahovic can produce in his next three Champions League matches (the second leg vs. Villarreal and the quarterfinals) he could potentially take an unfancied and injury-riddled Juve side to places that Ronaldo never could. Vlahovic is already making club history in his short time with Juventus (see below), but Champions League succe s would Quenton Nelson Jerseys take his standing at the institution to another level.
