"Hypothetically, if you put (Diego) Costa, (Nemanja) Matic and (John) Terry in that team you probably win the title," Gary, speaking on Sky's Monday Night Football, external, said. "So how do you find a Costa, Matic and Terry? Those players are not readily available. Everyone wants them."

Tranmere Rovers, relegated from the Football League, appoint, external former Luton, Cambridge and Southport manager Gary Brabin as their new boss. Brabin has left his role at Everton's Academy to take up the post. Tranmer will play in the Conference next season.

The 46-year-old New Zealander held off Tiger Woods to win his first Major in 2005 and is an eight-time European Tour winner.

"I fulfilled one of my dreams to win a Major and it was fantastic," Campbell said. "But as everyone knows, my career since then hasn't been great. But if I walk away from the game right now I could be very proud of my achievements."

"I tipped Chelsea to win the title in August and there was not one moment during the whole season that I did not think they would end up as champions."

"In a rather crowded press room waiting for Lionel Messi and Luis Enrique press conference. Messi's first in a very long time, well over a year I think. Good PR move by Barca to persuade Messi to hold a rare presser today. Will claw back some of the headlines which would otherwise be Pep Guardiola's."

Should he play on Wednesday, it would be Messi's 100th European game for Barcelona.
