Nicolas TAGLIAFICO is reportedly wanted by Real Madrid.

Per a report by TyC Sports, the Argentine coach would be interested in signing TAGLIAFICO, should the former stay on managing Real Madrid.

Sergio AGUERO and Nicolas OTAMENDI lifted the Carabao Cup as Manchester City won 0-0 (4-3 on penalties) against Chelsea.

It was a less than stellar match but it wasn’t one without controversy. With the score 0-0 and the match going to penalty kicks, Chelsea coach SARRI wanted to bring on goalkeeper Willy CABALLERO for the shootout. Having played with Manchester City and being very good at stopping penalty kicks, CABALLERO would be brought in for the shootout. However, ARRIZABALAGA, the Chelsea goalkeeper refused to be brought off.

Willy CABALLERO stayed on the bench and Manchester City won the match with Sergio AGUERO scoring City’s second penalty kick.

Dario BENEDETTO will reportedly be called-up to the Argentina team for the matches in March.

Argentina coach Lionel SCALONI apparently has a surprise up his sleeve in the form of Boca Juniors forward BENEDETTO. The Argentina took part in the last World Cup Qualifying matches but due to injury missed out on the FIFA World Cup.

With captain Lionel MESSI expected to be back in the squad, TyC Sports are reporting that coach SCALONI will not be including goalkeeper Sergio ROMERO and Angel DI MARIA isn’t a sure lock to be included.

Other names which are not guaranteed to be included are those of German PEZELLA as the defender has injury problems. The others are that of Mauro ICARDI and Gonzalo MARTINEZ.

The matches take place on March 22 and March 26 against Venezuela and Morocco. The call-up list will be released on 3 March, that is to say next Sunday.
