Anyway - the real robbery is Aitana winning. She is the best women’s player I’ve ever seen, but Mariona was a clear and deserving candidate after her UWCL and Euros performances last season.
Not really bothered about the Ballon d’Or but my feeling is that Salah should have won it. I love the redemption arc for Dembele, it’s amazing for him and he was fantastic last season (in a great team) but PSG barely break sweat for their domestic trophies.

Agree with everything Phil said. Should’ve been Mariona and probably Salah

A great way to get the home season going. 5 goals, 2 for Gyokeres which will ease the pressure, a clean sheet, and an impactful debut for 15 year old Max Dowman.
Bitter-sweet though because of the injuries, losing Saka and Odegaard ahead of a trip to Anfield a real worry, but a fantastic win ⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽
