Looking to extend on what has been a rampant start to the 2022/23 campaign, PSG will welcome Monaco to the Parc des Princes on Sunday night.
Starting with the hosts, after welcoming Christophe Galtier to the French capital over the summer, PSG really couldn t have wished for a better start to the 2022/23 campaign. Reclaiming their Ligue 1 crown thanks to a 15-point buffer, Les Parisiens are in the midst of a real purple patch. Laying down another marker last weekend as they stormed their way to a thumping 7-1 victory away at Lille, the mood in their camp should be at a real high. Opening the new season by claiming France s Super Cup thanks to a 4-0 romp against Nantes, the ex-Nice boss has also seen his side win each of their first thre…
Rafael Leao scored one goal and assisted another as Milan downed Bologna 2-0 on Saturday, with Stefano Pioli hailing his talented winger.
The Portugal international wrong-footed goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski in the first half to open the scoring – his eighth Serie A goal at home since the start of 2022.
No Serie A player has managed more strikes on their home ground in that period, and Leao turned creator after the interval as he teed up Olivier Giroud, who acrobatically volleyed home to double Milan s lead.
Another dazzling performance from Leao, who played a large part in Milan s Scudetto triumph last season, came just days after reports in Italy claimed Chelsea want to sign the 23-year-old.
Milan are reportedly attempting to tie the forward down to a …

Ryan Sessegnon was handed his first Premier League start since joining Tottenham as the teenager lined up for Jose Mourinho s team against Brighton and Hove Albion on Thursday.
Former Fulham player Sessegnon stepped in for the suspended Son Heung-min, who missed out after Tottenham lost an appeal against his red card in the 2-0 home defeat to Chelsea.
Sessegnon looked set to feature in a fluid forward line, headed by captain Harry Kane, with Dele Alli and Lucas Moura also floating behind the skipper.
Chances for 19-year-old Sessegnon have been few and far between since his reported £25million move to north London in August, although he scored on his last appearance in the recent Champions League defeat at Bayern Munich.
Seventh-placed Tottenham were loo…
Former Liverpool striker Emile Heskey feels the club have not managed to replace Luis Suarez following the Uruguay international s departure to Barcelona in 2014.
Liverpool have brought in the likes of Mario Balotelli, Christian Benteke and Roberto Firmino to try and strengthen their attack over the past two seasons, but only the Brazilian has proved to be something of a valuable addition.
Heskey feels not even Firmino is close to the level of Suarez, though, and has urged Jurgen Klopp to keep looking for an attacker with a similar animal instinct .
I think Liverpool have enough options, but there is always room for more, Heskey told Omnisport.
Especially someone who s direct, who knows how to run with the ball, who creates stuff on his own. A bit sim…
Manchester United have progressed to the fourth round of the FA Cup with a against Watford at home on Saturday evening.
Premier League giants United got the better of Championship club Watford 1-0 at Old Trafford in the third round of the FA Cup.
The Red Devils headed into the tie and they managed to win it. Scott McTominay’s headed effort from Alex Telles corner as early as the fifth minute proved to be the difference between the two sids.
The hosts were the better of the two teams in the first half, with Juan Mata having a good chance to double the lead. Daniel James and Marcus Rashford had efforts saved after the half-time interval.
Watford had chances, too. Adam Masina, Joao Pedro and Ken Sema all could have found the back of the net for Watford…
Kepa Arrizabalaga was the hero as Chelsea secured their first Super Cup triumph since 1998, running out 6-5 winners in a penalty shoot-out against Villarreal following a 1-1 draw in Belfast.
Hakim Ziyech opened the scoring after good work down the left flank from Kai Havertz before the former Ajax man s shoulder injury marred an entertaining first half.
Alberto Moreno and Gerard Moreno both hit the woodwork either side of half-time, though the latter restored parity with a fine finish to send the final to extra time.
Kepa, who was brought on in the closing minutes solely for penalties, denied both Aissa Mandi and Raul Albiol to make sure Chelsea came out on top.
The Champions League holders had started proceedings impressively too, Timo Werner forcing the…
Massimo Moratti has condemned racist chanting by Inter Milan supporters during their 3-1 win over Chievo on Sunday.
Some of the club s supporters racially abused AC Milan striker and former Inter player Mario Balotelli during the match, and Moratti has said their actions were unacceptable.
I was told about the chants afterwards because I couldn t make out clearly what they were saying. I m very sorry about what happened, the Inter president told reporters.
I m very sorry and I really hope it doesn t happen again during the derby.
Balotelli came through the ranks of the Inter youth academy and joined Manchester City in 2010, before returning to Italy with Milan in January.
He will take on his former club in the Milan derby on February 24.

The Northern Irishman was then lured away from the Liberty Stadium by Liverpool, but former Denmark international Laudrup has proven an excellent replacement.
Under the ex-Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus star, Swansea have lifted the first major piece of silverware in their history, beating Bradford City 5…
Mats Hummels has all the qualities to take over the captaincy of Germany following the retirement of Bastian Schweinsteiger, says Otto Rehhagel.
Schweinsteiger s illustrious international career came to an end on Wednesday as Germany beat Finland 2-0 in Monchengladbach, the midfielder winning his 121st and final cap.
The 32-year-old took over the captaincy when Philipp Lahm retired following the 2014 World Cup, but he announced his intention to step away from the international game after Germany were eliminated from Euro 2016.
An emotional Schweinsteiger played 68 minutes in his farewell and posed for a selfie with a pitch invader wearing a Schweinsteiger 7 shirt, before leaving the field to a standing ovation.
The search for his successor has now begun …
