They are paying the consequences of the lack of leaders, players with good technique and confidence in the youngsters. In Italy, Lamine Yamal and Musiala would probably play in Serie B to gain experience. And that can't be.

I'm very happy. We knew how important these three points were, especially as this match came after the international break. It's difficult to manage because we had a lot of players involved, most of them had travelled and played matches. It was the moment to win these three points.

I will always put Milan above everything else and I think I know what I can give. I have a lot of confidence in myself as a player and I feel like I haven't shown it yet.

Anthony Barry describes his partnership with Thomas Tuchel as the yin to his yang, acknowledging their differences in height and background, which can make their dynamic appear unusual.

I'm happy with Marcus, he plays well. The last few weeks he's had problems, he's been injured, so it's an opportunity for him. There are other options, Fermín, Gavi. I'm happy that Gavi is at a great level.

I think everyone knows that I can play in different roles and that I give my all wherever I play. This season I've played a few times as a striker or in midfield, but wherever I play I'll try to help create or score goals. I'm happy to do so.

I never had this feeling - I'm not involved in all this social media thing. I think that's a good thing. Every supporter of Barcelona can see it's great to have him in the team. For me it's fantastic to see, because he enjoys training, he enjoys playing with these guys. And he has huge quality.

Gennaro Gattuso put everything into trying to secure World Cup qualification, but was unable to. He signed a one-year contract with the option for the following two years if they qualified for the tournament this summer, but since they did not he will depart.

"Last year was a tough time at Milan, and he was sad about it too. Since he cares so much about his family, he suffers for me and his brothers."

After the game, Ancelotti had an embrace with Modric who he knows well from his two spells at Real Madrid. During it, he was spotted asking the midfielder: "You don't have a Brazilian grandfather, do you?" This was a clear reference to the enormous qualities of the Croatian phenomenon, who at 41 would still be useful in any midfield, even that of Brazil.

Benfica are willing to negotiate a transfer in the region of €20 million, significantly lower than the player's release clause of €100 million, making the operation attractive for Barcelona.

Yes, he will do the same thing that he does on the pitch, he shows it in training every day. If they know how to pray? They better! We have great players too who we can perhaps spread out and not play 1 vs 1 because he is so decisive. We have the tool to try and counteract him.

Welcome to a new global order. Rio de Janeiro giants Flamengo are champions of Brazil and South America. But even that is not enough, because they want it all. The new format of last year's FIFA Club World Cup has provided them with the means and the opportunity to chase even bigger prizes. And this is the motive for a stunning transfer coup.
