MU debuts new player Diogo Dalot against Young Boys

Coach Jose Mourinho has included rookie defender Diogo Dalot in the squad for the opening Champions League group stage match against Young Boys.

According toYEAST, coach Jose Mourinho will most likely let this 19-year-old talent start in the match against Young Boys.

Although he has not yet made his debut for MU's first team, Diego Dalot has had two matches with MU's U23 team against U23 Stoke (August 31) and U23 Reading (September 14).

Real Madrid determined to "destroy" MU in Mauro Icardi case

AS sources said that Real Madrid are ready to "overtake" MU to get Mauro Icardi, who has a contract release fee of 98 million pounds. Don Balon added that the Champions League champion will put the name Kazim Benzema on the negotiating table with Inter Milan as an exchange, to make the negotiation process more favorable.

Mauro Icardi is the striker that Mourinho wants to bring to MU in the upcoming winter transfer window (January 2019). However, Real Madrid also "spot" Icardi to strengthen the attack, after the departure of number 1 star Cristiano Ronaldo.

Not to mention, Benzema is considered to have passed his most impressive form, and Real Madrid is not afraid to let the French striker leave.

This is news that Mourinho does not want to hear, especially when he is still upset with MU's unsatisfactory shopping last summer.

The Red Devils leaders, because of their regret for money, did not bring Mourinho the contracts he requested, making the former Chelsea captain extremely disappointed. However, the last 2 victories have somewhat helped Mourinho and his students reduce the tension, after previously losing to both Brighton and Tottenham.

Liverpool lost the Mbappe deal because of money

Liverpool hosted PSG in the opening match of the 2018/19 Champions League group stage, and French newspaper L'Equipe revealed that captain Jurgen Klopp tried to convince young Kylian Mbappe to move to the Premier League to play football but failed.

Klopp really wanted Mbappe but because Liverpool is not as financially strong as PSG, he had to give up.

Klopp has been eyeing Mbappe since he was at Monaco, and last season when the Ligue 1 representative "gave the green light" for this player to leave, Liverpool was there before PSG. Moreover, coach Klopp himself was present, convincing Mbappe for many hours, to join Anfield.

According to the above source, Liverpool even promised to make Mbappe the highest paid player at the club, equal to his senior Philippe Coutinho (who had not yet moved to Barca).

Douglas Costa received a penalty from Serie A organizers

According to the latest announcement from Serie A Organizing Committee, Douglas Costa has been banned for 4 matches for spitting in Federico di Francesco's face during Juventus' 2-1 win over Sassuolo.

The Juventus defender will miss the games against Frosinone, Bologna, Napoli and Udinese, which is considered a relatively light punishment from Serie A.

Trong khi đó, HLV Max Allegri cũng tuyên bố CLB Juventus cũng sẽ đưa ra án phạt nội bộ đối với cá nhân Douglas Costa.

HLV Mauricio Pochettino: Tottenham xứng đáng giành chiến thắng

Trong cuộc họp báo sau trận thua 1-2 trước Inter, HLV Mauricio Pochettino một mực khẳng định Tottenham xứng đáng giành 3 điểm trên sân Giuseppe Meazza.

"Đây là màn trình diễn hay nhất của chúng tôi từ đầu mùa. Tôi hài lòng với màn trình diễn nhưng thất vọng về kết quả", HLV Mauricio Pochettino phát biểu.

"Tottenham chơi tốt hơn Inter nhưng khi phải nhận những bàn thua từ phút 85 trở đi, cảm giác hoàn toàn khác. Thật khó để giành chiến thắng tại Giuseppe Meazza. Chúng tôi chơi tốt hơn Inter, tạo ra nhiều cơ hội để kết liễu đối thủ nhưng không thể tận dụng và 1-0 luôn là tỷ số mở. Thật tàn nhẫn, các cầu thủ của tôi xứng đáng giành chiến thắng".

Liverpool hạ PSG nhờ bàn thắng ở phút bù giờ

Klopp để Daniel Sturridge có trận đá chính đầu tiên cho Liverpool ở Champions League. Từ đường tạt bóng như đặt của Andy Robertson, tiền đạo 29 tuổi lao vào đánh đầu trong tư thế trống trải. Trung vệ Thiago Silva mắc lỗi khi đoán sai điểm rơi bóng.

Sức ép từ Liverpool khiến hàng thủ đội khách quay cuồng. Phút 36, Juan Bernat phạm lỗi với Wijnaldum trong vòng cấm và trọng tài Cuneyt Cakir thổi phạt đền ngay tức khắc. Trên chấm 11 mét, Milner hạ gục thủ môn Alphonse Areola với cú đá chìm quyết đoán.

Đang trong mối tơ vò, PSG bất ngờ tìm bàn rút ngắn cách biệt nhờ công của hậu vệ Thomas Meunier. Từ đường tạt bóng khiến Robertson đỡ bóng lỗi, Meunier ra chân dứt điểm về góc gần khiến thủ môn Alisson không kịp trở tay.

Tuchel was right when PSG equalized thanks to the best young player of the World Cup - Kylian Mbappe, in the 82nd minute. The first credit for the goal belonged to Neymar with a dribble that tore through the red shirt defense. The ball bounced to Mbappe's feet and the 19-year-old striker finished decisively, causing the Anfield stands to fall silent. But the mistake in Liverpool's loss belonged to star Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian assassin continuously passed the ball wrong in the final minutes and had to pay the price.

Not long after, Firmino - who replaced Sturridge - turned and fired a low, decisive shot into the far corner. The away team's defense tried their best to block but still had to watch the ball fly into the net.

The decisive goal helped Liverpool fans celebrate once again.

Atletico beat Monaco away

Atletico's comeback came in the first half. Despite conceding first to Monaco in the 18th minute, the Europa League champions scored twice in the final 15 minutes of the half, thanks to Diego Costa and Jose Gimenez, to seal a 2-1 win.

Diego Simeone's team temporarily rose to the top of Group A, thanks to a goal difference with Borussia Dortmund, despite having the same three points. Meanwhile, the fear of early elimination returned to Monaco.

Before the end of the first half, Gimenez showed Atletico's bravery and experience, jumping high to head the ball to make it 2-1. Monaco's defense had problems with man-to-man marking, causing goalkeeper Diego Benaglio to fly as far as he could and get a hand on the ball, but still could not prevent the goal.
