Leeds did what nobody thought it could when Chelsea came to visit Elland Road on Sunday: utter humiliation was handed to the Blues. A dominate Leeds ran out 3-0 winners in an American masterclass thanks in big part to Brendon Aaronson’s first goal for Leeds.

With nine successive Serie A titles followed by two campaigns where Champions League qualification seemed a shallow silver lining, Juventus’ fall from grace has been clear to see in recent years.

Curiosamente, la caída del equipo que solo admite futbolistas mexicanos en su plantel vino con el sello de la sangre mexicana que juega en el LA Galaxy: asistencia de Efraín Álvarez y un gol del juvenil Jonathan Pérez.
