Lionel Messi scored a sensational bicycle-kick goal as Paris St Germain began the defense of their Ligue 1 title with an emphatic 5-0 victory over Clermont at the Stade Gabriel Montpied on Saturday.
Messi netted a brace to go with goals from Neymar, Achraf Hakimi and Marquinhos as they followed up last weekend's 4-0 Trophée des Champions victory over Nantes with another easy win.
Chelsea defeated Everton 1-0 in the Blues' Premier League opener, however a horrifying Ben Godfrey injury early in the first half dampened the mood in Goodison Park.
In the 18th minute of the game Godfrey had to be stretchered off the field, put on oxygen and taken to the hospital after a terrifying injury to his right ankle while trying to make a tackle on Kai Havertz.
Fans are furious at the linesman for not seeing that the ball had clearly gone out of play moments before the injury.
Jordan Pefok has made his presence known with his new club Union Berlin. After scoring a bicycle kick in a DFB-Pokal match a week ago he opened his Bundesliga scoring account on Saturday during Union Berlin’s 3-1 victory in the Berlin derby vs. Hertha.
Pefok opened the scoring in the 31st minute with a nicely placed header at the near post. Last season’s Swiss Super League golden boot winner shows no signs of slowing his lust for goals.
American and Leeds United fans couldn’t have had a better Saturday as USMNT forward Brenden Aaronson grabbed a game-winner, sort of, in a 2-1 victory vs. Wolves. He and Tyler Adams looked great in their first Premier League game.
With the score tied at 1-1 late in the second half and Wolves looking the more threatening side, Leeds and manager Jesse Marsch needed something special.
A dangerous and precise pass from Adams got the move started for Leeds and then a cross from Patrick Bamford found Aaronson for the winner in the 74th minute.
American Premier League fans who woke up early Saturday morning were treated to quite the entertaining fixture. Newly promoted Fulham hosted last season’s runners-up Liverpool at Craven Cottage and both sides shared the honors with a 2-2 draw after a back and forth affair.
Fulham played with guts and desire, and honestly, looked like the better side throughout the 90 minutes. A pair of goals from Aleksandar Mitrović gave Fulham every chance of leaving with all three points but Liverpool equalized on both occasions to secure the draw.
Fin a la novela: Jorge Sánchez será jugador del Ajax.
Falta que América despida al jugador en sus redes sociales y que los neerlandeses lo anuncien en las suyas, pero a ambos lado del Atlántico dan por cerrado el fichaje del seleccionado mexicano.
Listo lo de Jorge Sánchez al Ajax, buena noticia para el fútbol mexicano.
Ya lo decíamos en los últimos días, era absolutamente viable y terminaron por cerrar el acuerdo las directivas.
Después de seis meses de sombras, la vida parece volver a sonreírle a Orbelín Pineda. El Maguito dejó el Celta de Vigo y bajo la tutela de Matías Almeyda comienza a florecer en el AEK de Grecia. De hecho, el seleccionado mexicano hoy acaba de anotar su primer gol junto a su nuevo club.
Que haya ocurrido la misma semana que visitó la Acrópolis de Atenas, no sé, no parece coincidencia. Quizás Pineda haya elevado su cosmos a la Saint Seiya y este gol sea resultado de sus nuevos poderes.
These days, soccer jerseys are more than just a colored shirt your favorite team plays in. They’re a way to express yourself, who you are and what the sport means to you. It's fashion, it's style, it's a way of life. Every year, clubs release their new home, away and third kits to much scrutiny, and while some are instant classics, many are destined for a life in the back of someone's closet, never to be worn again. With the Premier League well and truly underway today, what better time to decide who is going into this season with the best Premier League jerseys?

First, let’s look at the potential lineup and then explain the additions. Spoiler alert to fellow Americans: Christian Pulisic doesn’t make it into this potential lineup. The formation is manager Thomas Tuchel’s preferred 3-4-2-1 look.
