Todo Mal: Diego Lainez Se Perdió Un Gol Solo E Hizo Un Berrinche Al Ser Reemplazado

Pocas son las veces en que Manuel Pellegrini decide darle la titularidad a Diego Lainez, pero hoy fue una de esas oportunidades. El mediocampista mexicano estuvo en el once titular del Real Betis en su excursión a Escocia, donde enfrentaron al Celtic por la Europa League, y acabó con una actuación bastante decente. Sin embargo, el sabor de boca que le quedó fue bastante amargo, luego de fallar un gol cantado y mandarse un berrinche al ser reemplazado cuando quizás no lo esperaba.

Chucky Lozano Recibió Otro Duro Golpe En La Cara Y Fue Sacado Del Campo En Camilla Y Con Collarín

Le tocó sufrir, pero el Napoli finalmente venció a Leicester City por 3-2 y logró avanzar a la siguiente ronda de la Europa League. Hirving Lozano fue titular, pero no pudo festejar la clasificación con sus compañeros debido a un fuerte golpe en el rostro, en una acción que de seguro fue un déjà vu de la terrible lesión que sufrió a medidados de año, defendiendo a México, en la Copa Oro.

Investigating The Most Egregious Ballon d'Or Winners Of The Last 20 Years

After a decade-plus of domination by Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, fans expected Ballon d'Or voting to bring some different results in 2021.

The obvious choice was Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski, who was coming off a record-breaking 41-goal campaign in the Bundesliga. 

Instead it was Messi — seemingly entering the twilight of his career — who won the award for the seventh time. "Surely something must be done," the people exclaimed at this perceived injustice. "He still can't be the best player in the world."

From The Court To The Pitch: Re-Envisioning European Soccer In College Basketball Terms

Rumors of a UEFA Super League have become increasingly prevalent in recent times as larger clubs look for ways to earn a buck any way they can. An official announcement of a Super League even came earlier this year before being trounced by fans across the continent.

Big clubs loathe the current Champions League format because it limits matchups against other big clubs and forces them to share the prize money, while smaller clubs believe the format is slanted against them.

Mental Fitness And Local Pride: How Bodø/Glimt Became An Improbable Norwegian Powerhouse

José Mourinho was confident when he brought his Roma side to the Aspmyra Stadion for a UEFA Conference League match on Oct. 21. The Portuguese manager named a noticeably second-rate squad for the trip to the Arctic Circle to face reigning Eliteserien (Norwegian top-flight) champion FK Bodø/Glimt. 

El Fabuloso Gol De Benzema A España Merecía Mucho Más Que La Irrelevante Nations League

Francia reparó un poco la pobre imagen que dejó en la última Euro, luego de conseguir el título de la Nations League, derrotando a España por 2-1. Uno de los goles de la victoria fue obra de Karim Benzema y merece verse en eterno loop.

El tanto del delantero fue todo lo que queremos ver en una final. Fabuloso, mágico, sublime. Es una lástima que haya sido en la intrascendente Nations League y no en un torneo de mayor prestigio.

Club Over Country? Donnarumma Gets The Cold Shoulder In His Return To The San Siro

Less than two months ago Gianluigi Donnarumma was an Italian hero. His save on Bukayo Saka's decisive penalty kick during the Euro 2020 final clinched a shootout victory for gli Azzurri and gave Italy its first European Championship since 1968.

Yet three days later he was out the door. After months of failed contract negotiations between Donnarumma and AC Milan, the 22-year-old keeper and his exorbitant wage demands headed to PSG on a five-year deal.

Luis Enrique Causes Outrage In Spanish Capital By Ignoring Real Madrid Players Yet Again

MADRID - Barcelona's 17-year-old midfielder Gavi has been handed a surprise call up by Spain coach Luis Enrique for the Nations League Final Four tournament in Italy next month.

Gavi, who has only featured for Spain at junior levels previously and turned 17 in August, has made just two LaLiga starts for the Catalans this term. However, he has done enough across his six appearances in all competitions to impress Luis Enrique and earn a spot in the 23-man squad.
