Since the club entered MLS in 2018, no team has won more games, scored more goals, earned more points or won more trophies than LAFC. Yet as Dos Santos, a top assistant for five of those eight seasons, was hugging and mugging with some of the people who are soon to become his fiercest critics, another supporter approached general manager John Thorrington with a question.

I would like to thank the Mexican people for their kindness and generosity and making me and my family feel so welcome in Mexico City. I also want to give a big thanks to the manager, the coaching staff and particularly the medical staff for helping me through what was a difficult time with injuries,

Zach Ramsey scored unassisted with 1:12 remaining in the first half and Washington took a 1-0 lead into the break. It was only the second time this season that N.C. State trailed at halftime. Ramsey scored into an empty net after Wolfpack goalkeeper Logan Erb couldn't corral the ball at the top of the box. It was Ramsey's second goal of the tournament.

Bayern Munich goalkeeper Daniel Peretz's temporary assignment at Hamburger SV appears to fall in the latter camp. The 25-year-old has only made two appearances all season for Hamburg, both in the DFB-Pokal, while Daniel Heuer Fernandes retains the starting spot he has held for the last four seasons there. Incidentally, the last time he was dislodged it was also by a Bayern keeper, Sven Ulreich, who had left the club in the 2020/21 season.

"I thought in the first half we got some really good opportunities, especially in the transitions, and we were very sloppy," Eustace told reporters. "The game could have probably been out of sight really, with the amount of chances we had on the turnovers, just if our final pass or the finish was better. That would have been great. However, in the second half, I felt we controlled the game a lot more. When we did get those opportunities, we were finishing the actions and getting shots on target, so to win 3-0 is really pleasing."

The 35th edition of the African continental tournament takes place in Morocco between 24 teams, with the group stage starting on December 21 and the final taking place on January 18, 2026. This is a huge tournament, with some of the world's best players representing their countries, including Mo Salah seeking his first AFCON win with Egypt, Riyad Mahrez (Algeria), Sadio Mane (Senegal), Achraf Hakimi (Morocco), Victor Osimhen (Nigeria), and many more.

It was of a piece with him essentially reading the riot act to his players. They had not turned up at the start, he suggested, and the less said about the closing stages, the better apart from the last-gasp winner. It is rare to hear Arteta be so critical but he knew his team had got away with one and he wanted them to know, too.

"We performed well in the Champions League and Ligue 1. In the first 20 minutes, we could score and make the break. They can do the same. I congratulate them. "They're a great team. [Geronimo] Rulli was very good; the saves from [Timothy] Weah and [Nayef] Aguerd helped us. We played with courage. I think there are situations that we need to defend better.

Chelsea are in danger of losing one of Enzo Marseca's key men with Atletico Madrid pushing to complete his signing. Maresca has endured a tough few weeks, with Chelsea winning just once since beating Barcelona 3-0 in the Champions League. They have found themselves eight points of Premier League leaders Arsenal and 13th in the Champions League, albeit in a strong position to at least advance to the knockout play-offs.

We said that if we could do something to damage this military regime, we should, recalls Aguirre on the terrace of the restaurant he ran for many years after his retirement. But it had to be subtle, or they wouldn't let us out on the field. So, we slipped into the toilets with a pair of bootlaces. I tied one onto Sergio, and he tied one onto me, so they looked like armbands. They swiftly rejoined their teammates, leaving an empty changing room behind.

Reading women's forward Keren Banduka has been discharged from hospital after collapsing on the pitch during a league match on Sunday. The club shared a "positive update" on Monday, saying Banduka is "now at home recovering". The incident happened at Arbour Park during Sunday's Southern Premier Division match against Southampton in the fifth tier of English women's football. Southampton were 1-0 up when Banduka collapsed and players returned to the dressing rooms in the 35th minute.

Before the 2017-18 season, clubs agreed to ensure that at least one block of seating for visiting supporters would be pitchside in an attempt to improve atmospheres. At the time, former Premier League executive chairman Richard Scudamore said: "When an away goal is scored, you want that atmosphere and interaction between the two sets of fans." However, Newcastle were given special dispensation to be excluded from the rule when they were promoted back to the top-flight in 2017.

We don't advise anyone. At the time we would have liked him to have stayed here, but we know that he is a coach with enormous talent who, yes, has a different context in Madrid.

DORTMUND, Germany -- Jobe Bellingham has been banned for Borussia Dortmund's next two Bundesliga games after he was sent off against Freiburg. The English midfielder, younger brother of Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham, was dismissed in the 53rd minute of Dortmund's game on Sunday for a foul on Philipp Treu. Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel had given the ball away and Treu would otherwise have been through on goal. Bellingham's team was leading 1-0 at the time and the game ended in a 1-1 draw.

Manchester City have been keeping a close eye on Munoz in recent months, sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside. Pep Guardiola is said to admire the 29-year-old's athleticism, pressing intensity, and overlapping runs, traits that fit perfectly into City's high-possession, aggressive full-back system. While City's interest has yet to translate into a formal offer, sources suggest that their recruitment team has compiled extensive scouting data on the Colombian.

FC Bayern will have to do without captain Manuel Neuer for the time being . The goalkeeper suffered a torn muscle fiber in his right hamstring during Sunday's Bundesliga home game against 1. FSV Mainz 05. This was the result of an examination by FC Bayern's medical department. At nearly forty years old, Neuer has played almost every single game in the Bundesliga and Champions League this season.
