On September 18, Man City ended their Champions League clash against Inter Milan in a goalless draw at the Etihad Stadium. Erling Haaland, who usually impresses us with his performances, had difficulties this time. The Norwegian forward had 14 touches on the ball and only managed to provide one shot on target, since Inter's defenders, including Francesco Acerbi, did their best to stop him. This was the first goalless game for Erling this season, although the Norwegian cyborg had scored in each of the previous four matches, already registering nine goals to his name. After the final whistle, the cameras caught the moment when Haaland, clearly disappointed, gave a firm but smiling response to Acerbi when the Black and Blues' defender approached him asking for his jersey.

Haaland: “Do you want to exchange shirts?”

Acerbi: “Maybe two, since you can't score in two games against me”.

Haaland: “Two?”

Acerbi: “Have you forgotten about the UCL final?”

Haaland: “F*** off!”.

Al Nassr forward Cristiano Ronaldo considers Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham to be one of the best players of his generation.

“Huge potential. Huge talent. He's come to the club when the environment was clean, was good, and he's grown like the other ones, like Camavinga, Rodrygo, Vinicius... He's in a team that helps him to be a top player and I also believe he'll be one of the best of the next generation,” Ronaldo said.

On Monday, September 16, hearings began in the case of Manchester City's alleged 115 violations of financial fair play rules between 2009 and 2018, The Telegraph reports. The verdict is expected to be announced no earlier than next spring. One of the club's penalties may include deduction of points, which could lead to relegation from the Premier League. According to the source, departure from the English top flight due to FFP rules could mean Manchester City's exclusion from the FA Cup and the English League Cup. It is likely to also affect the team's participation in the Champions League and the Club World Cup tournament.

Xavi wants to return to Barcelona

Reliability: 4

Xavi Hernandez’s spell as Barcelona head coach came to a premature end in the summer, as Joan Laporta opted to sack him in favour of appointing Hansi Flick, who has made a fantastic start to his tenure at the Catalan club. Overall, Xavi’s time in charge was mostly positive, especially the 2022-23 season which saw the return of the La Liga title to the Spotify Camp Nou. Xavi is currently unemployed, and awaiting a new job in football. Javier Saviola recently spoke on his former Barcelona teammate, and he backed him to make a future return to the hot seat at the Catalan giants:
“We must not forget what Xavi did. I have had the opportunity to be and chat with him, as a friend, we talked about how he did not have the best time. He has done a very good job. When you don’t win titles, it seems that you have done absolutely nothing. All these boys who have come out have been taken and trained by Xavi. Hopefully at some point he can find happiness in another team and, in the future, hopefully he can return to Barcelona and do things well. This is what he wants.”

Barcelona fans reacted pretty sharply to Marc-André ter Stegen's poor performance in the tie against AS Monaco - the German made a blunder that led to Eric Garcia's red card. Marc-André was also responsible for the second goal, as the ball was going straight to him, but the goalkeeper fell to the turf too early. Under Barça's post with the match result, Barcelona supporters called for Ter Stegen to quit the club. Here are some of the comments from there:
'Why not use our beloved captain's pic huh???? TER STEGEN OUT OUT OUT'.
'Ter Stegen needs to go'.
'GET RID OF TER STEGEN!!!!!'.

During the latest part of his interview with former Manchester United teammate Rio Ferdinand, Ronaldo spoke glowingly on the 17-year-old sensation: “I see a lot of talent in Lamine Yamal.
