And the 21-year-old has made best use of his second season at the club, taking his game up a level, scoring 13 goals in 13 games and adding 3 goals in 4 games in the Europa League. Perhaps this is why, according to Danish news site bold (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), the German champions still have an eye on him:
Esther Okoronkwo's goal of making it to the Northern Super League inaugural championship game has been achieved. The 28-year-old attacker scored three times in the first 27 minutes of Monday's semifinal match at snow-covered York Lions Stadium and the regular-season champion AFC Toronto defeated the visiting Montreal Roses 4-1, taking the two-leg aggregate 6-1. Lauren Rowe added a fourth goal for Toronto in the 84th minute.
You may like Pochettino enjoyed a fine playing career, starting off at Newell's Old Boys in his native Argentina before playing under Marcelo Bielsa at Espanyol in Spain. The centre-back moved to PSG in 2001 to play alongside the likes of Ronaldinho and Mikel Arteta in France, and went to the 2002 World Cup, again with Bielsa as his manager. Mauricio Pochettino is perhaps best loved at Spurs
Yeah, absolutely. That's the manager's call. I just go there and be the best that I can be and see what happens. I can just be myself, do what I normally do, train as well as I possibly can. It's an unfortunate situation that we're in at the moment where there's not many goalkeepers playing first-team football.
"It's been a long journey," Johnston told BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club. "It started with my friend messaging my during lockdown saying 'you need to get on Twitter, that's where everyone is talking about football'. "I took it kind of seriously, built up a following and where it really started was when I discovered the Chelsea academy. "I fell in love with watching the academy games, seeing the young players come through. It was what I was known for, my niche on Twitter."
The Black Cats attempted to limit Arsenal's threat from set-pieces - specifically long throw-ins - by moving the advertising hoardings to give the Gunners less room for their run-ups. "It might have been the wind," Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris joked after the game. It didn't stop Declan Rice trying to hurl the ball into the box, but given that the visitors didn't score from a throw-in and the game finished all square, Sunderland can certainly argue it was a worthwhile ploy.
Former Celtic midfielder Joe Ledley believes fellow Welshman Craig Bellamy is "a perfect fit" to be Parkhead manager, who would be "very interested" in doing so either later this season or in future. Ledley is still close with the Wales manager and believes his "aggressive, front-foot" style with the national team would transfer well to Celtic and that the only thing stopping the move could be timing.
The trip to North Wales ended in frustration, with injuries, illness, and a costly mistake from Onel Hernandez all contributing to a 1-0 defeat at Wrexham. Key figures such as James Bree, Lloyd Jones and Kayne Ramsay battled through pain and illness to feature, while others were unavailable including Miles Leaburn who was listed as a substitute and proclaimed injured but there is much speculation and mystery as to what has actually gone on in-house.
There were many interesting talking points from the dramatic stalemate between Arsenal and Chelsea Alyssa Thompson's stunning goal for the Blues, the impressive defensive performance of Lotte Wubben-Moy, the 56,537-strong crowd, Chelsea's choice of a back four over a back five, Arsenal's decision not to play with a natural No 6 but, disappointingly, it is the quality of the officiating that has and will dominate.
The season started with a win for Angers, but it was a win that brought more fear than hope. Esteban Lepaul scored the only goal of the game as they beat Paris FC. The Frenchman had been a revelation in the second half of last season, as his nine goals ensured safety for Ligue 1's second lowest scorers. But Rennes were circling and he was gone by the end of August.
Image source, SNS Scotland have suffered a triple injury blow as they prepare to face Greece in World Cup qualifying, with likely starter Billy Gilmour ruled out of Saturday's match in Pireaus. The Napoli midfielder has not pulled out of the squad completely, with the Scots facing Denmark in a potential group decider three days later at Hampden Park. But Udinese midfielder Lennon Miller and Bristol City defender Ross McCrorie have withdrawn. Two midfielders have been added to Steve Clarke's squad - Rangers' Connor Barron and West Ham United's Andy Irving.
As the winter transfer window looms, Europe's elite clubs are already jostling for position in one of the most intriguing transfer sagas of the season, the race to sign Argentine prodigy Nico Paz, currently lighting up Serie A with Como. Once part of Real Madrid's academy, Paz has become one of the most sought-after young playmakers in Europe. The 21-year-old has scored four goals and provided four assists for Como this season.
"The most important thing is that the team wins," he told reporters. "It's not my goal, it's not the other player's goal, the team is always the most important. "We started the match stronger and didn't stop until the end, so I think that was the key to this victory. What a match!#OLPSG#Ligue1 pic.twitter.com/sAEVfK52Xg - Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_English) November 9, 2025 "It gives us some comfort [going top of the table], but we know that this championship is very difficult. "The teams are very strong, and we can't relax at every moment. So, I think this is a demonstration of our work, of our spirit."
Myles Lewis-Skelly paid the price for his lack of game time and now the City man gets his opportunity to stake a claim for a World Cup spot. The 20-year-old now goes into camp having become the latest defender to shut out Mohamed Salah. That's less of an achievement than it used to be, but O'Reilly still had to show tenacity and patience against this nuggety, late-era version of the Egyptian superstar.
Newcastle United have made a decision on the future of Eddie Howe with the Magpies just two points above the Premier League drop zone. Newcastle's poor away record in the league continued in west London as they lost to Brentford, despite leading 1-0 at half-time. They have failed to win on the road this season, drawing three and losing three on their travels so far, and with an extra two losses at home, Howe's credentials are being tested to the limit.
Despite Bayern Munich's 16-match winning streak across all competitions to start the 2025/26 season came to an end with their 2-2 draw at Union Berlin, they're still unbeaten in 17 matches. After playing the second half of the 2-1 win at Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League with only 10 men, Bayern fought hard to salvage a point at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei, especially considering the fact that Vincent Kompany only made one change to the starting lineup for the Union Berlin match form the one that won in Paris.
He'll want to shorten the points, keep Sinner moving, attack the second serve and perhaps lay some drops, given sinner is less effective at net that from the back. I also wonder if he'll try slicing backhand to backhand, though that's his weaker flank; it's not easy to find weaknesses in Sinner's armoury, but touch shots are closer to such thing than power ones.
This was the summer of 2022, a failed transfer class that also included Sadio Mané, Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt, and Mathys Tel. At the time Bayern was actually the picture of stability, with a front office apparently fulling backing second-year head coach Julian Nagelsmann, who was heavily involved in the recruitment process alongside sporting executives Hasan "Brazzo" Salihamidžić and Marco Neppe.
Gattuso hinted that the player is dealing with problems' when asked about the Italian's decision to snub the Italy call-up. He said (via Daily Mail): I often talk to him. We have to respect the decisions and problems that each of us has. We know well what we tell each other, and I must respect what the player tells me. I can't say anything else.
AFC Bournemouth midfielder Tyler Adams was taken off the United States men's national team squad for upcoming friendlies against Paraguay and Uruguay after crashing into teammate Adam Smith in the third minute of their 4-0 loss to Aston Villa. U.S. Soccer confirmed his absence on Monday, along with that of Columbus Crew midfielder Sean Zawadzki. In their places, LAFC midfielder Timmy Tillman was called up by USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino and will join training camp in Philadelphia on Monday.
Marcus Rashford has made a strong start to life on loan at Barcelona, but his future still hangs in the balance. The Manchester United loanee has provided 13 goal contributions for the Catalan club across La Liga and the Champions League. With a buy option in the loan deal worth 30.3m, and his chapter with United seemingly closed after Matheus Cunha was given his former no.10 shirt, it seems a no-brainer.
Newcastle have had a very disappointing start to the Premier League season, which continued with defeat at Brentford on Sunday. Eddie Howe's side are currently sitting 14th in the table, having lost four of their last six league matches. Newcastle have been impressive in the Champions League, while they are in the midst of another Carabao Cup run, having reached the quarter-finals.
