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 Mourihnho wants to bring to MU in the upcoming winter transfer window (January 2019). However, Real Madrid also "marked" 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 they were reluctant to spend money, did not bring Mourinho the contracts he requested, making the former Chelsea captain extremely disappointed. However, the last two victories have somewhat helped Mourinho and his students reduce the tension, after previously losing to both Brighton and Tottenham.

Liverpool lost 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 were there before PSG. Moreover, coach Klopp himself was there, 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 receives penalty from Serie A Organizing Committee

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 games against Frosinone, Bologna, Napoli and Udinese, which is considered a relatively light punishment from Serie A.

Meanwhile, coach Max Allegri also announced that Juventus will also issue an internal penalty against Douglas Costa.

Coach Mauricio Pochettino: Tottenham deserved to win

In a press conference after the 1-2 loss to Inter, coach Mauricio Pochettino insisted that Tottenham deserved to win 3 points at Giuseppe Meazza.

"This is our best performance since the beginning of the season. I am satisfied with the performance but disappointed with the result," said coach Mauricio Pochettino.

"Tottenham played better than Inter but when we conceded goals from the 85th minute onwards, the feeling was completely different. It's difficult to win at Giuseppe Meazza. We played better than Inter, created many chances to kill them but couldn't take advantage and 1-0 was always an open score. It was cruel, my players deserved to win."

Liverpool beat PSG thanks to a goal in injury time

Klopp gave Daniel Sturridge his first start for Liverpool in the Champions League. From Andy Robertson's well-placed cross, the 29-year-old striker headed in an open position. Centre-back Thiago Silva made a mistake when he misjudged the landing spot.

The pressure from Liverpool made the visitors' defense reel. In the 36th minute, Juan Bernat fouled Wijnaldum in the penalty area and referee Cuneyt Cakir immediately awarded a penalty. At the 11-meter mark, Milner defeated goalkeeper Alphonse Areola with a decisive low kick.

In a dilemma, PSG unexpectedly found a goal to shorten the gap thanks to defender Thomas Meunier. From the cross that Robertson failed to control, Meunier fired a shot to the near corner, leaving goalkeeper Alisson unable to react.

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, silencing the Anfield crowd. But the mistake that led to Liverpool's loss belonged to star Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian assassin continuously made bad passes in the final minutes and had to pay the price.

Not long after, Firmino - who replaced Sturridge - turned and fired a decisive low 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 victory.

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 increase the score to 2-1. Monaco's defense had problems with man-to-man marking, causing goalkeeper Diego Benaglio to fly as far as he could and touch the ball, but still could not prevent the goal.
