FIFA World Cup 2022

🚨 This year, the Ballon d’Or winner won’t be interviewed by France Football before the ceremony, but after 👀 This means the winner won’t know they’ve won until the envelope is opened, avoiding last year’s scenario where Lionel Messi knew he had won the award hours before .

Liverpool under Arne Slot: ■ 11 games ■ 10 wins ■ 1 loss ■ 1st in the Premier League ■ 2/2 wins in the Champions League ■ Beat Man United, AC Milan and Chelsea What a start 💪

Mo Salah's goalscoring record (PL only) vs. the big six: Man United: 12 goals, 6 assists Arsenal: 10 goals, 2 assists Spurs: 9 goals, 2 assists Man City: 7 goals, 4 assists Chelsea: 5 goals, 3 assists 60 goal contributions and counting 🤯

Trent Alexander-Arnold's defensive stats vs. Chelsea: ■ 5 duels won ■ 4 clearances ■ 4/4 tackles won ■ 1 block ■ 10 defensive actions No player on the pitch won more duels, tackles or made more clearances ⚔

🗣️ "You are on the shortlist for the Ballon d'Or, do you believe you can win?" Cole Palmer: "It's a surprise to be recognised at this level so early in my career. It's a great honour and it would be great to win. If I work hard, I believe I can win."

🗣️ Bayern CEO Karl–Heinz Rummenigge on players complaining about the busy schedule: “I understand this argument. But the players and their agents have fallen into this trap. By demanding ever higher salaries, they are forcing the clubs to generate ever-higher revenues. And where does this revenue come from? Through more games. And that is why I say: we must sit down with all those involved and discuss without emotion what mechanisms we need to bring back more serious and rational times — including in terms of business.”

🗣️ Pep Guardiola: "With all due respect to Pele and Diego Maradona, but Lionel Messi is the GOAT in my opinion. I have never seen someone like him as a coach, you can't imagine him maintaining this longevity for 15-20 years. When you see him up close, you think of Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan."

William Saliba is sent off for the 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 time in his career and he will now miss Arsenal's match against Liverpool next week 😳❌
