Potiguar Final Campeonato Resumen

Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola has jumped to the defence of Bradley Barcola after the winger faced a wave of criticism following his recent outings for the French national team. The £123m summer signing was targeted by the media in his homeland despite Les Bleus securing dominant victories during the international break.

Jamie Carragher has once again taken aim at Rio Ferdinand, accusing the former Manchester United defender of compromising his professional integrity to protect his former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo. The fallout comes after the Al-Nassr forward caused a stir by walking out on the Portugal national team following a heated row with manager Jorge Jesus.

Turkey have officially parted ways with head coach Vincenzo Montella following a disastrous run of form that has left the national team in crisis. The decision comes after a winless start to their Nations League campaign, which saw the Crescent-Stars suffer four consecutive defeats against Europe's elite.

Serbia have been ordered to play their next home match behind closed doors following racist and discriminatory behaviour from their supporters. UEFA has also handed the national federation a series of hefty financial penalties relating to fan misconduct during their recent Nations League fixtures.
