Dayot Upamecano thought he shed that joke tag, embarrassing himself as Bayern lost the biggest Champions League matches but it's another absolute shocker tonight. Started off OK but Vinícius has him on toast now #UCL
Manchester United have not beaten Bournemouth in three seasons
Stoppage time of the AFCON final has to be the craziest ending to a sporting final in history. What are the other contenders?
Two months or so into the season, I felt Robin van Persie might be an outside chance to be the next Manchester United manager after an impressive start to 2025/26. But his Feyenoord side have completely fallen off a cliff. Will be lucky to make the end of the season as things stand #MUFC #RvP
Manchester United were three marginal decisions away from winning 5-0. Utter domination
Fiorentina owner Rocco Commisso has died at the age of 76.
The club, which tragically lost its beloved captain to a heart attack in 2018, has now had to overcome the death of its sporting director and owner within the space of 12 months
Milan leading against Como is actually a huge testament to how important Cesc Fàbregas' side have become given Milan's comparative struggles against "smaller" sides

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Alexandre Pato and Serginho jogging with Milan fans and delegation in Hong Kong
Going for an early morning jog with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Alexandre Pato and Serginho in a local park was not something I'd expected at the start of the weekend, but I'll take it
However, United's official supporters club here dwarfs Liverpool's so somewhat surprising for it to be this scale
Important caveats include the situations the two clubs find themselves in, the excitement surrounding Liverpool plus United coming off the back of Europa League final defeat. Plus this event is much, much better organised

Support for Liverpool in comparison to Manchester United off the scale here in Hong Kong. This is for the open training session
Hong Kong life
A stoppage-time wonder goal winner from Lionel Messi would have been the ideal start for the Club World Cup. Alas, it was a 0-0 draw - possibly the worst-possible start Infantino and Co. would have wanted
The potential Alcaraz-Sinner rivalry has ignited comparisons with Djokovic-Nadal, which is fair but I feel Federer's dominance is criminally overlooked at times.
He reached 10 Grand Slam finals in a row from Wimbledon 2005 to the US Open 2007. An astounding achievement
It's funny how football works: Simone Inzaghi's reputation is in tatters after the Champions League final humiliation. Yet, had they lost heroically to Barcelona in the semi-finals, he'd still be considered one of the most gifted coaches around.
He'd probably have won the Scudetto in that case, too
Thomas Tuchel, Mauricio Pochettino, Julian Nagelsmann, Luciano Spalletti (if he gets there) and Carlo Ancelotti all managing at the 2026 World Cup feels important.
All five would be in contention for top club jobs, but the lure of a World Cup in the United States just seems too big right now
Are we accepting "Boston we have a problem" as a legitimate headline?
Manchester United have lost home and away against Wolves this season without scoring a goal
For Manchester United as a club, this game may not matter. But for Rasmus Højlund, this is a really damning performance and difficult to see how he comes back from it
Nah. De Gea was amazing season after season. Think of the two defences they had in front of them
Raymond van der Gouw, Anders Lindegaard, Sergio Romero and Dean Henderson had first-team spells but still see them essentially as No.2s
Manchester United's best first-choice goalkeepers in the Premier League era in order:
1. Peter Schmeichel
2. David De Gea
3. Edwin van der Sar
4. Tim Howard
5. Fabien Barthez
6. Mark Bosnich
7. Roy Carroll
8. Massimo Taibi
9. Andre Onana

The three Manchester derbies on (and around) my birthday in my lifetime
Man City 2-3 Man Utd: April 6, 1996 👍
Man City 2-3 Man Utd: April 7, 2018 🤯
Man Utd 0-0 Man City: April 6, 2025 😴
We also played the day after my 30th, the day of the actual party, and that was another incredible game - same scoreline as 22 years previous
This is the second time I can remember the Manchester derby on my birthday. The last time was when I turned 8 (work it out) - a thriller with a truly underrated derby winning goal
Since elimination to Real Madrid in 2018, Juventus have been knocked out of the Champions League by Ajax, Lyon, Porto, Villarreal, Benfica and PSV
