When I look at Mohammed Salah and the position he plays on the pitch, he has lost that extra half yard and the pace is gone with age. When you look at Virgil van Dijk, age is less important for a defender. There were games he performed not at his best and everyone writes him off, but over a full season, even at this age, he shows everyone how good he is.

Zaire-Emery was excellent at the heart of midfield, setting up Desire Doue's opener to mark his third assist in the top flight in 2026 - more than any other player in the competition. The 19-year-old created two chances, while leading the match for touches (115), passes (98) and accurate passes (93). He also won eight duels, with no player on the pitch bettering that tally, and won two of his four tackles.

No, I feel like every year I have been here, the goals have been the same,

"I'm responsible for the plan and the positioning, but ultimately the players are the most important thing. At halftime, I told the lads that we were 2-0 down due to two set pieces and that we didn't need to hide. We only made minor adjustments at halftime and did much better in the second half."

"To keep it simple, we did a pretty decent job last season, but we want more," Jansen said. "We want to be successful, which means we have to do better than we did last season. "The first step has been put out there. We reached the Conference final, which was a good achievement, but at the end of the day, we did not win anything.

Gregor Kobel hailed Borussia Dortmund's fighting spirit after they came from behind to earn a last-gasp draw with RB Leipzig. Christoph Baumgartner scored twice in the first half to put Leipzig in control, but a Romulo own goal cut their lead early in the second half. Dortmund then salvaged a point, with Fabio Silva striking in the 95th minute to complete the comeback, though they have lost ground on Bayern Munich, who now hold an eight-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga.

The club continues to be unequivocal in its stance we have a zero-tolerance approach to any form of discrimination. The club has reported the post to Instagram's parent company, Meta, and expects strong support from them, together with the Premier League and the police, and will work to ensure that the individual responsible is identified and investigated. Hannibal will receive the full backing from the club and from the Burnley fans who we have already seen condemning the abuse.

The 18-year-old centre-back has impressed during his loan spell at Hamburg in the Bundesliga, attracting admiration after brilliant performances. As interest intensifies, Tottenham are understood to value the Croatian prospect at up to 61 million, a figure that shows both his potential and their determination to retain control over his future. Vuskovic has experience a meteoric rise in Bundesliga Hamburger SV have benefited significantly from Vuskovic's composure and physical maturity this season.

Alexander Sorloth netted twice to complete a 4-2 comeback win for Atletico Madrid over Espanyol in LaLiga. After Jofre Carreras had given Espanyol the lead, Sorloth scored Atletico's first and last goals to earn the three points. Atletico were carved open just six minutes in as Tyrhys Dolan was released down the right to bend a low cross into the box.

We chased the game well in the second half and we were in it right until the end with Harvey [Barnes] shot right until the end. We were chasing the game against a very good team. We did that to a man excellently all game. The end product, the last cross, the last finish was not quite there. There were several occasions where we should have done better.

Bundesliga club Werder Bremen have cancelled plans for a US tour, including a match in protest-hit Minneapolis, due in part to "political reasons", a spokesperson told AFP on Saturday. Bremen were in the process of planning a summer tour which was set to take place in May, with friendlies in Minneapolis and Detroit, before the start of the 2026 World Cup in the US, Canada and Mexico.

Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany played down the severity of Alphonso Davies' injury despite the Canadian having to be substituted in their 3-2 win over Eintracht Frankfurt. The league leaders moved nine points clear at the top of the Bundesliga as Harry Kane continued his goal-laden campaign by scoring another brace, though they were forced to hold on as their opponents scored twice in the last 15 minutes.

"When you do something special, or almost special, it can be a natural reaction for people to relax; that was hard, wow, and that's just something we won't accept," Varas said. "We need to not only take the same steps we took last year in our preparation, but we need to take those steps even better."

Former Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sané always ended up with decent statistics during his tenure at the club, but he never quite reached the level of heights predicted for him when he made the long-anticipated move to Bavaria from Manchester City in 2020. Funks and slumps marred Sané's time with Bayern Munich as he failed to achieve consistency. Last summer, the winger moves on to Galatasaray, ending his time with Bayern Munich as a disappointment to many fans.

Well look, if Tottenham are out of Europe and struggling again, they're going to find themselves more more susceptible to offers for their best players and Bergvall definitely comes in to that reckoning. He's a highly-regarded player and he's done well since he arrived at Tottenham. He's highly regarded at Tottenham, he's under a long contract until 2031 and there was no surprise that they rebuffed those inquiries from Chelsea and Villa in the January window.
