🕹️🕹️Cristiano Ronaldo: “I remember when I was 18 some older players spoke with me and I took that as having to improve, they know more than me as they have more bad moments. This new generation don’t accept that if you criticise them. I have kids I know. They do the opposite.”
🕹️🕹️Thomas Tuchel's sacking could be a good thing for Christian Pulisic, according to his national team coach
🕹️🕹️Leroy Sané back in 2016: "It's not a secret, I'd like to play for a big club... I'd especially like to play for Barça, it's been my dream since I was a kid."
Sané will face Barcelona on Tuesday.
🕹️🕹️Ancelotti: “It's better to use Rodrygo as 9 with Valverde rather than just Hazard.”
🕹️🕹️Paolo Maldini:
"It makes me both laugh and cry when I hear young people say that Luis Suárez is the best 9 in history. I, who played against Ronaldo, can't imagine him diving, provoking opponents or biting adversaries."
🕹️🕹️Diego Costa joins Wolves and is back in the Premier Leage
🕹️🕹️Rangers' Champions League group stage game at home to Napoli has been pushed back 24 hours to Wednesday following discussions between Police Scotland, the Glasgow club and UEFA.

🖲️🖲️None of Arsenal's Gabriel's were called up to Brazil's most recent squad
🖲️🖲️Union Berlin top of the Bundesliga
Arsenal top of the Premier League
Who saw this coming?
🖲️🖲️Arkadiusz Milik scored a 95th-minute winner for Juventus. He was shown a second yellow for taking his shirt off in the celebrations and was sent off. VAR then ruled his winning goal out
🖲️🖲️Graham Potter has a win percentage of 𝟮𝟴.𝟯% in the Premier League
🖲️🖲️Bafetimbi Gomis' iconic celebration is still going strong
🖲️🖲️Joe Cole:
Honestly, I somehow feel Todd has been talking to Graham this whole while and has been receiving his affirmation to the signings we all thought they were making for Tuchel. No surprises, he also plays Tuchel’s formation... It looks more or less like the sack was planned well before now. The Zagreb show was just used as excuse.. And you can't tell me some of the players don't know about the plan and deliberately downed tools to hasten the sack.

📷📷Liverpool vs Ajax
●Beaten finalists last season, Liverpool produced one of their most disjointed performances of Jürgen Klopp's tenure in Naples on Matchday 1. The German conceded afterwards that the Reds need to "reinvent" themselves as they bid to recover from an underwhelming start to the campaign in all competitions.
●Ajax, meanwhile, are on a high after a commanding victory at home to 2021/22 Europa League finalists Rangers. With Klopp and his players searching for answers, the Dutch side may view this as the perfect opportunity to visit Anfield.
●Did you know? These teams were in the same group in 2020/21. The Reds emerged 1-0 winners in both meetings, a Nicolás Tagliafico own goal separating the sides in Amsterdam and a Curtis Jones strike proving the difference at Anfield.
📷📷Sporting CP vs Tottenham
●Both teams are aiming to maintain winning starts to the competition after easing to Matchday 1 victories over Frankfurt and Marseille respectively. Sporting set the bar high last term after reaching the knockout stage for the first time in 13 years, while Tottenham have qualified from their section in three of their previous five Champions League appearances. A win here would be a big step towards continuing that impressive record.
●Did you know? Enfield-born Marcus Edwards is a Tottenham academy graduate but failed to make a Premier League appearance for Spurs before joining Vítoria de Guimarães in 2019. He moved to Sporting in January 2022 after registering 20 goals in 96 outings for Vítoria.
