ErlErling Haaland volvió a maravillar al mundo con su surreal olfato goleador en la victoria por 2-1 del Manchester City sobre su ex equipo, el Borussia Dortmund. Y si bien el noruego marcó solo uno de los goles del club inglés, lo que captura la conversación es la sensacional acrobacia que hizo para conectar el pase a tres dedos de Joao Cancelo.
Neymar continues delivering A+ performances for PSG and on Wednesday ratified the good streak sealing the 3-1 win over Maccabi Haifa in the Champions League. However, not everything was a joy for the Brazilian, who was shown a yellow card for celebrating his own frigging goal with the celebration move he has been doing the whole frigging season.
Paris Saint-Germain traveled to Sammy Ofer Stadium in Israel on Wednesday to play an entirely overmatched Maccabi Haifa in the Champions League, giving locals a chance to gaze upon a PSG starting XI that included Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, Neymar and Sergio Ramos.

Another match, another $10 million added to Rafael Leão's constantly rising market value.
On Wednesday in AC Milan's Champions League group stage encounter with Dinamo Zagreb at the San Siro, Leão was again the Rossoneri's catalyst in a 3-1 victory. The 23-year-old drew the foul that led to Olivier Giroud's opener from the spot, and then he burst past his marker and clipped a cross into the area that was met by Alexis Saelemaekers for Milan's second.
Amid reported interest from Man City, Man United, Chelsea and Liverpool, Barcelona has secured the services of football's most highly regarded midfield talent through 2026 after 18-year-old Gavi put pen to paper on a new three-year deal that sees his release clause rise to $1 billion.
European soccer fans are some of the craziest and intense people you will ever meet. It’s not uncommon to see brawls, fans throwing flares and plenty of tomfoolery. I’ve seen plenty of nonsense, but a Croatian fan bringing an anti-tank weapon to a game is a new one.

Brice Samba or Odell Beckham Jr.? That is the question many Ligue 1 fans asked themselves after watching the RC Lens keeper during the club's most recent match.
Samba has never been short on skill, as he led Nottingham Forest to promotion through the EFL Championship Playoffs. Yet the club decided he was not Premier League material, instead sending him to Lens.
In what looked to be an unassuming clash between Italian giant Juventus and newly promoted Salernitana, VAR got all the headlines for all the wrong reasons. A 2-2 draw saw both sides take a point away from the match, but the Turin-based club will feel hard done after new images came out revealing the officiating crew made an appalling mistake, costing Juve two points.
Last week, an American seldom known by even the most astute USMNT fans made his debut in the UEFA Champions League. Josh Cohen played all 90 minutes between the posts for Israeli side Maccabi Haifa during the club's 2-0 defeat to Benfica.
