Paris Saint-Germain’s last three European odysseys could largely be boiled down into a series of infamous images that haunted the club’s every waking moment.
In 2016-17, La Remontada gave us Messi lording over the Camp Nou…
And the cursed image of Ángel Di María shushing the ground prior to Barça’s three-goal haul in the final seven minutes of the match.

Listen, I know this sounds CRAZY but it’s so true and so EASY. My life changed FOREVER thanks to this ONE WEIRD TRICK I used to eviscerate fat, build LEAN muscle and get shredded FASTER than an Alphonso Davies recovery tackle.
Barcelona’s 3-1 victory over Napoli on Saturday was a throwback to Barça’s more controlled days with Ivan Rakitić deputizing smartly for the suspended Sergio Busquets and Frenkie de Jong going from strength to strength in midfield.
Napoli couldn’t get close to the 23-year-old Dutch maestro, who hardly put a foot wrong while completing 94% of his passes in the attacking third and going three-for-three in take-ons. He also had a would-be assist contemptuously chalked off after the ball grazed Lionel Messi’s upper arm.
Released on August 4 for PlayStation 4 and PC, Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout plays with the hugely successful battle royale formula of games like Fortnite, PUBG and Call of Duty: Warzone but with a playful twist: Instead of gunning down opponents on the path to being the last one standing, Fall Guys whittles down from 59 players over a series of mini games to determine the lone survivor.
Last night, Club Tijuana and Tigres played to a scoreless draw at Estadio Caliente in a match that included six yellow cards and 39 fouls.

FC Copenhagen made history on Wednesday by becoming the first Danish club to advance to a European quarterfinal since 1996 after defeating Turkish champion Istanbul Basaksehir 3-0 (3-1 aggregate).

Players who deliberately cough at opponents or referees can be shown red or yellow cards under new guidelines issued by England's Football Association (FA) amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The instructions to referees taking charge of games when COVID-19 restrictions are in place will come into force immediately and be applied at all levels of the game.
The life of a referee is a brutal one. If a referee does their job correctly and makes all the right calls then no one talks about the official. However, if the referee does the opposite — much like Anthony Taylor in the FA Cup final — then they receive a tidal wave of criticism.
