It seems this matter goes beyond the realm of sport and that is regrettable. For two countries that call each other friends, like Morocco and Senegal, things should not have gone this far. Senegal, however, will seek a royal pardon from Morocco's King Mohammed VI.
The renaissance of Scott McTominay has been nothing short of wondrous. From being Jose Mourinho's hill to flog Paul Pogba to a PSR blue chip, the midfielder's Mediterranean glow-up was beyond anything we imagined: Ray-Bans and espresso in hand certainly suits him. We were all quick to question Manchester United: to pinpoint quite how toxic Carrington really is for McTominay to rise from white elephant to golden goose so effortlessly.
I think it's an amazing evening for the club, for the players, for the town and also for Norwegian football. We are not talking about goals, we are talking about how to perform and how we can take steps and develop the players and the team. Now I think that's extremely important. We have our way to do it, and that's really important.
It is very exciting for us to be playing for the first time at Everton's new stadium. We have always said that taking this team around the country is so important and we're really looking forward to playing in front of fans in the north-west. The city of Liverpool has a rich football history with many connections to the Lionesses over the years, so it will be a very special evening.
At the time, not many of Salech's teammates were close to him in terms of goalscoring, and with veteran frontman Callum Robinson as the only natural replacement, who had cultivated himself as a reliable back-up throughout the season, many were wondering who Brian Barry-Murphy would turn to.
They're not simple! But I'm always trying to get in those positions to find the space, to work hard and get those opportunities. It takes a long way to go there. Today it's worked out, thank God for it. We put in a good performance, we did what we needed to do today which was the main thing.
After what will be 73 years, spanning four FIFA World Cup triumphs and three European Championships, the iconic relationship between Germany's biggest sporting brand and one of football's most decorated national teams will come to an end.
I'm very happy, As I say so many times, I belong to Saudi Arabia. It's a country that has welcomed me very well, and my family and my friends. I'm happy here, I want to continue here. The most important thing is we keep pushing [for the league title], we are there at the top. We do our job, we win, make pressure, let's see at the end of the season.
If you still have the energy to tackle another round after that last brainteaser, we have curated a fresh selection of challenges to see if your footballing knowledge is truly top-tier, all courtesy of Kwizly. From the prestige of the Champions League to the unpredictable world of reality television, there is plenty here to keep your brain working overtime. We'll start with a look at the elite clubs of the continent.
For me, it's better to ease back into it a bit more slowly and hopefully be better by the end of the season. That's why I'm happy with the progress I'm making now. I'm doing a lot of extra training sessions so my foot always feels fresher. Some days it's a bit stiff. But like I said: I don't want any excuses; when I'm on the pitch, I have to perform and deliver,
Gilli had felt like a lame duck since the Arnault family took over the club midway through last season, but earning promotion to Ligue 1 at the first time of asking bought him a stay of execution. It didn't last long. With fears of relegation growing, Kombouare a former lame duck turned firefighter has taken his place. Just like Gilli, Kombouare too failed to fulfil the lofty ambitions of new owners; his face didn't fit.
RB Leipzig signed Diomande from Spanish side Leganes last summer, viewing him as a long-term investment with immediate upside. The move has proven inspired. In his first season in Germany, the winger has delivered nine goals and seven assists across all competitions, impressive numbers for a teenager adapting to a new league. Diomande's style is built around explosive pace, intelligent movement in wide areas and composure in one-on-one situations.
In 1986, when Norwegian delegate Ellen Wille stood on stage at Fifa's annual congress in Mexico and demanded the creation of a World Cup for women, it sparked support from one of the room's unlikeliest allies. Delegates from North Korea, so the story goes, were inspired by Wille's speech and returned to Pyongyang with a plan: to use women's football as a tool to reassert their collapsing power on the world stage.
Tottenham weren't quite as dreadful as they were in losing 4-1 to Arsenal in November, but they were still extremely so, devoid of wit, energy, solidity, creativity, quality, and everything else one would hope to see in a football team. Make no mistake, they are in serious danger of going down and, assessing their fixtures, it is not easy to see where they might win enough points to stay up
Andy Robertson's future at Liverpool is entering a delicate and defining phase, sources close to the agents indsutry have informed CaughtOffside. With the Scottish captain moving into the final year of his contract, the summer of 2026 looms as a potential turning point in a career that has become synonymous with the club's modern golden era.

Image source, Getty Images Holders Chelsea edged past Manchester United into the FA Cup quarter-finals thanks to an extra-time tap-in from defender Naomi Girma. The United States international prodded home from close range in the 99th minute to open her goal account for the Blues after the visitors had failed to clear their lines from a corner. It was a disappointing end to the tie for Marc Skinner's side, who had battled from behind to take the contest into extra-time.
Gian Piero Gasperini warned Roma they will be in a 'battle to the end' for the Serie A Champions League spots, despite him not expecting his first season to 'go quite this well'.
Uefa has provisionally suspended Benfica's Gianluca Prestianni for Wednesday's Champions League match against Real Madrid after allegations that he racially abused Vinicius Junior during last week's first leg. The ban has been imposed pending the completion of a Uefa investigation and Benfica said they would appeal against the decision. The Portuguese club said they regretted being deprived of the player while the process was ongoing but acknowledged their appeal was unlikely to prevent Prestianni from being suspended for the game in Madrid.
Another weekend of action from Europe's top leagues is in the books, and as always, we have plenty to break down! So let's begin with the big game of the Premier League weekend, Sunday's north London derby, where Arsenal stuck to a winning formula in thumping their rivals Tottenham 4-1 to remain in charge (for now, anyway) of the title race.
