Leeds vs Man Utd: Epic Friendly at Croke Park – Grab Tickets Before They're Gone
Picture this: Leeds United and Manchester United squaring off not at Elland Road or Old Trafford, but in the massive bowl of Dublin's Croke Park. Yeah, that 82,300-capacity Gaelic games fortress hasn't hosted a footy match since 2009. As reported by OffsAIde at OneFootball, pre-sale tickets are already live for this 12 August 2026 blockbuster friendly, with general sale kicking off at 10am on Friday 10 April.
Leeds have slapped some conditions on it, mind. It only happens if they hold Premier League status and skip the FA Community Shield. No refunds on travel if it falls through, but tickets get sorted by the operator. Season ticket holders and members get first dibs – smart move, cos this'll sell out faster than a last-minute penalty shout.
Prices? €50 (£43.63) for adults, €25 (£21.82) for the under-16s. Kick-off at 7.30pm on a Wednesday, just 10 days before the Prem starts and two before the Championship. Snag yours via Ticketmaster – register interest now to jump the queue, lads.
Barca's Six-Goal demolition: Madrid Routed in WCL Thriller
Over in the women's game, Barcelona turned Camp Nou into a party pad, smashing six past Real Madrid in front of a packed house. The Blaugrana cruised to the Women's Champions League semis, setting up a juicy tie with Bayern Munich. Madrid looked shell-shocked – again – as Barca's attack clicked like a well-oiled machine.
It's the kind of performance that leaves rivals picking up the pieces. Runners-up spot? Nah, this was statement stuff. If you're not watching the women's game yet, what's keeping you?
De Zerbi Locks In at Spurs: Relegation? No Problem
Roberto De Zerbi, Spurs' new gaffer, isn't mincing words. He's signed a five-year deal and vowed to stick around even if Tottenham drop to the EFL Championship. "I'll be Tottenham coach next season, no matter what," he declared. Bold from the Italian, who's already got that North London fire in his belly.
After his Brighton stints, De Zerbi's tactical nous could be just what Spurs need. Relegation clause or not, this screams commitment. Fans, rejoice – or brace yourselves.
World Cup Final Tickets: Wallet-Busting Prices Revealed
