Achraf Hakimi had to be helped off the pitch and looked to be in tears after being on the receiving end of a reckless challenge by Luis Diaz during Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League clash with Bayern Munich on Tuesday.

It's a huge blow for PSG and Hakimi, particularly with the Africa Cup of Nations now only weeks away.

England have been left licking their wounds after opening the 2025 Under-17 World Cup in Qatar with a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Venezuela. A previous generation of Young Lions including Phil Foden and Jadon Sancho lifted the trophy in 2017, but this team lacked a ruthless edge as two quickfire Venezuela goals from captain Roman Davis and Dioner Fuentes near the end of the first half killed England, before a late third from substitute Eider Barrios.

Pep Guardiola has claimed he had never heard of Jobe Bellingham as the Borussia Dortmund midfielder and brother of England and Real Madrid star Jude prepares to face Manchester City in the Champions League.

Ahead of a reunion with ex-Leverkusen boss Alonso, the Spaniard has backed the 22-year-old to come good.

Now, they have shown remorse for their actions.

Trent Alexander-Arnold’s emotional return to Anfield is set to take a dramatic twist, with the Real Madrid defender ‘highly unlikely’ to start against his former club.

Javier Hernández has appeared in just four of Chivas’ 16 Apertura 2025 matches, and it’s increasingly likely the club won’t extend his contract when it expires in December. The veteran striker and Mexico legend may not see much action on the pitch, but manager Gabriel Milito says his value goes far beyond goals, pointing to Hernández’s experience and leadership within the squad.

Former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag could be set to return to English football after being considered for the vacant role at a Premier League club.

He was fired by United in October 2024, four months after signing a new contract.

Gary Neville has admitted he is yet to be convinced by one of Manchester United's biggest signings of the summer.

Yet, even in triumph, Flick was clear he expects even more goals from Rashford.

Fabio Vieira’s spell at Hamburg has gone from bad to worse after the Arsenal loanee was sent off for the second time in just five Bundesliga games.

Erling Haaland joked that Pep Guardiola will have made a 'few Fantasy Football managers unhappy' after taking him off during Manchester City's 3-1 win over Bournemouth.

Erling Haaland gave yet another reminder of his monstrous goalscoring powers as he scored twice in Manchester City's 3-1 win over Bournemouth, and afterwards the Cherries' boss Andoni Iraola and captain David Brooks admitted there was almost nothing they could do to stop him.

Gianluigi Donnarumma has been slammed for his role in Bournemouth's equalising goal against Manchester City after the goalkeeper flapped at an Alex Scott corner.

U.S. men's national team star Tyler Adams’ standout season hit another milestone as the defensive midfielder scored his first Premier League goal, drawing Bournemouth level at 1-1 against Manchester City. Known more for his defensive work than his finishing touch, Adams had scored just three times across MLS and the Bundesliga before joining the Premier League in 2022.

Anthony Gordon has become the centre of social media scrutiny after the England international failed to find the back of the net in yet another Premier League game.

Amad Diallo insisted Manchester United's players are fully supportive of Ruben Amorim's style of play after the the Red Devils were held to a 2-2 draw at Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

Borussia Dortmund boss Niko Kovac has insisted that he is happy with Jobe Bellingham and explained that the club are working to build the youngster up, rather than throwing him straight into the starting line-up.

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario has slammed his team-mates and demanded the entire squad raises their levels after a woeful performance against Chelsea.

Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has hit back after his blunder cost the Villans dearly in their defeat to Liverpool at Anfield.
