Welcome to the FC Bayern Campus Round Up, where the matches of Bayern Munich's U-17 and U-23 squads are recapped, line ups are provided and the highlights to the U-23, U-19 and U-17 matches are hyperlinked on top of their respective score line. IMPORTANT: It seems Bayern have now geo blocked the highlights and the reports, for whatever reason. So if one would want to watch or read either of them, one would need a VPN. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Everton had not won at Old Trafford since 2013, but despite Idrissa Gueye's 13th-minute red card, they held out for all three points and ended United's five-game unbeaten run. Bruno Fernandes flashed a first-time shot wide of the far post, and the attempt prompted an argument between Gueye and Michael Keane, with the former shown a straight red card for violent conduct after striking his team-mate in the face.

Securing a famous bronze medal finish among Germany's elite last season, Dino Toppmoller's camp have secured back-to-back Bundesliga victories for the first time since the end of August. Last seen over the weekend marking their return from November's international break with an action-packed 4-3 victory away at Koln, Frankfurt could be smelling the chance to get their European charge back on track.
"When I came back from the Euros, I just felt a little different," Fishlock told ESPN. "Something had shifted perhaps in what I wanted to do and where I wanted to go, and I think that I'm still such a competitor. That will never leave me, unfortunately, which is a gift. Even though its 14 years in the making -- golly -- I still really want to bring a championship to Seattle."
Antonio Conte hopes Napoli can beat Qarabag in the Champions League on Tuesday and dedicate the victory to Diego Maradona. The match takes place on the fifth anniversary of Maradona's death, with Napoli's stadium now named after the Argentinian legend. Napoli have struggled in the Champions League this season, picking up just four points from as many games. They have won just one of their last six matches in the competition (D2 L3),
Matos became Swansea's fifth new manager in five seasons when he was confirmed as Alan Sheehan's replacement on Monday. It is the 37-year-old's first frontline job in British football and comes after only five months as a manager with Portuguese second-tier side Maritimo. But behind that is a two-decade journey to this point, starting at Porto and including becoming a key background figure for Liverpool through the Klopp era.
Captain Lionel Messi scored the first goal of the night, connecting with Mateo Silvetti to head the ball into the net and earn the early lead for the visiting team. Messi then assisted on the second goal by setting up Silvetti, who rocketed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal from the left side of the field.
Bayern have enquired about Nantes defender Tylel Tati (17). Despite his young age, the left footed centre-back is a regular starter at Nantes and has impressed with his excellent build-up play, remarkable composure on the ball and pace. The French club has set a price tag of at least €50m for Tati. A January move is not planned. The French U18 international is expected to first complete his first full Ligue 1 season before taking the next step in his career.
The 18-year-old striker, who holds dual nationality with France and Guinea-Bissau, has been one of the standout young prospects in Ligue 1 this season, earning plaudits for his composure in front of goal and rapid development at senior level. The youngster has scored four goals and provided two assists for the French club this season in 14 appearances. Chelsea have been the most proactive so far, establishing early contact with Vaz's representatives and maintaining open communication with Marseille's sporting hierarchy.
Liverpool's dismal 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest has only increased the pressure on Arne Slot and the Reds boss is now our second favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave their job. Slot's odds of 16/1 have tumbled down to 11/2 over the weekend, meaning only Leeds boss Daniel Farke is ahead of him in the market, and if the Dutchman can't turn results around quickly, that price will only shorten further.
Both Stewart and Thelwell were heavily criticised following a dismal start to the season for Rangers, which led to the dismissal of manager Russell Martin in October. Martin was removed from his role having won just five of his 17 games in charge in all competitions. At that point, Rangers were in eighth in the Scottish Premiership and had endured the ignominy of failing to get through to the league phase of this season's Champions League.
Over the course of the November international break, we've learned that MLS will cease its year-round format and switch to a spring-summer season in 2027, breaking a tradition that has remained since the league's inception three decades earlier, aligning with Europe's top leagues. There have also been sweeping changes at the broadcasting level, with Major League Soccer and Apple TV agreeing to a revised media rights deal that will come to an end following the 2028/29 season, three and a half years earlier than expected.
The 27-year-old, who is eligible to play for the Scots through his grandparents, netted twice for Eddie Howe's men at St James' Park as they edged out Pep Guardiola's side in a thrilling Saturday night victory. Will that performance have swayed any Scotland fans sitting on the fence? Or perhaps it has flipped opinions entirely? Here, BBC Scotland looks at the state of play, the mood among the Tartan Army and what Barnes could bring to Steve Clarke's team.
