New Caledonia U20 Overview

Aston Villa kicked off their 2026-27 Champions League campaign with a dramatic 3-2 away victory against Club Brugge. Summer signing Nicolas Jackson scored his first goal to secure all three points for Unai Emery's side during a frantic night at the Jan Breydel Stadium.

Several high-profile stars have been left out of European squad lists following key deadline decisions. From Liverpool's Federico Chiesa and Real Madrid's Ferland Mendy to Borussia Dortmund captain Emre Can, managers across the continent faced tough selection calls due to injuries and squad limits.

Ex-Newcastle and West Ham star Shaka Hislop has picked out one “absolute gem” for GOAL, with a new arrival in English football - that starred at the 2026 World Cup - expected to make quite the impact.
