You may find yourself living in a glass and steel yak-fur-lined penthouse. You may find yourself with six Premier League titles and a sport refashioned in your image. You may find yourself in front of a large advert board covered in words such as Experience Abu Dhabi, haunted by images of suffering, a scythe clanking gently at your shoulder. And you may say, well, how did I get here?

Bayern Munich's recent 2-2 draw with Hamburger SV was a frustrating one for Die Rekordmeister, but among that frustration there was admiration, too, for the opponent's impressive 18-year-old center back. Luka Vuškovic has been one of the most impressive players in the Bundesliga this season and proved it again on Saturday, scoring the goal to give Hamburg a point from the match.

Celtic left it late to book their spot in the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup, as they defeated Dundee 2-1 after extra-time. Having lost December's League Cup final to St. Mirren during Wilfried Nancy's ill-fated time at the helm, the Hoops looked to be on their way out of the Scottish Cup at Celtic Park, as they trailed 1-0 heading into second-half stoppage time.

The closest he got to it was Newcastle United's development squad', a group of players deemed not good enough to sign for the academy itself, but sufficiently talented for the club to monitor them via training sessions a couple of times a week, with occasional games. Released from that setup at the age of 11, Burn played Sunday League football, and by 16, when most players sign their first professional contracts, he was struggling to pin down a place in an amateur Saturday team.

The German national team have perhaps the greatest history of football shirts, and have led the way for football fashion with Adidas for years. They deserve to be named beside Brazil when it comes to iconic kits. While there have already been leaks on what Germany will wear on the pitch during matches in North America this summer, there have now been leaks on what the guys will wear pre-match.

"I saw the space when Fermín [López] got the ball and ran into it. I was going to shoot with my right foot, but decided to cut back and take it with the left. It took a deflection, but never mind, it was an incredible moment. It's something you can hardly even imagine as a dream when you're a kid. When I scored, I thought a lot about the tough times over the last year. Also about my family."

What Harry Kane has produced here in the past year or two is absolutely top-class. And what I like best about him is that in the beginning, he was a goal scorer who played in his box, who waited for the ball to arrive. But today he's long since become a playmaker, he's a finisher, and above all, he's a player with a personality who inspires others on the pitch, who sets the tone, and that's exactly what we were looking for,

Fulham's late comeback wasn't enough at Old Trafford last time out, as Benjamin Sesko struck a dramatic winner to sink them last weekend. Marco Silva's side had done brilliantly to fight back from two goals down, only for the big Slovenian to hammer a drive into the top corner just three minutes after Kevin had found the top corner. Everton drew for the second successive gameweek, held this time by Brighton and Hove Albion on the south coast.

Real Madrid are interested in signing Phil Foden from Manchester City in the summer of 2026, according to . The Spanish powerhouse reportedly view Foden as 'the final, crowning piece of their New Galacticos puzzle'. Foden is good friends with his England international team-mate Jude Bellingham, who is a star for Madrid. This is the 'primary trump card' that Los Blancos are planning to use to convince Foden to switch to Estadio Bernabeu.

Gaelic games coaching is increasingly benefiting from a different perspective. Some time in the future, Shane Keegan can see the current Donegal manager Jim McGuinness taking charge of a League of Ireland soccer team. And in that future, there's a place for the current Limerick hurling coach Paul Kinnerk as a coach.

Coventry City missed the chance to pull clear at the top of the Championship after playing out a frustrating 0-0 draw with struggling Oxford United on Saturday. With second-placed Middlesbrough not in action until Monday, Frank Lampard's side were unable to take advantage despite Will Lankshear's 77nd-minute sending off. Haji Wright tested Jamie Cumming early on before the visiting goalkeeper produced a brilliant save to deny Tatsuhiro Sakamoto's fizzing drive from just outside the penalty area.

They played much better, but we have to manage it much better, even because we know we were 2-0 up, and we just need to win this game, Soucek said. We have to go for counter-attacks again as to score a third goal would be important, but we can't concede three goals, because it's sometimes too easy. That's the mentality we should have [to score a third goal], because the best defence is to attack, so that's what we want, but sometimes when we are winning we go too much to defence, and then they create the chances and we didn't manage that.

Speaking to the press after his team lost the second leg of the Carabao Cup semifinal to Arsenal, Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior said the Gunners staff had behaved disrespectfully.

Villa entered Saturday's contest at the Vitality Stadium knowing that a win would, at least temporarily, lift them up to second in the Premier League table ahead of Manchester City's mammoth clash with Liverpool on Sunday. And they got off to a good start as Morgan Rogers' fine effort in the 22nd minute, off some sweet interplay with Jadon Sancho, had them on course to do just that, despite weathering a slew of early Bournemouth chances at the other end.
