SAY WHAT ?
“It seems to me, in terms of sports, he’s the greatest there is (...) But after having seen his series and getting
to know a bit more about him, you know, ‘The Last Dance’, it just blows your mind, it’s a masterpiece, it’s impressive.”

WELL DONE REF !
Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze has revealed what the referee told him after his wonder goal was ruled out. However, Palace were left fuming midway through the first half after Eze’s audacious free- kick was ruled out against Brentford. Referee Sam Barrott blew his whistle for a foul by Will Hughes on Nathan Collins as the ball travelled towards the Brentford goal. However, as the referee blew his whistle before the ball crossed the line, VAR was unable to intervene. As reported by London News Online, Eze revealed to BBC Match of the Day that referee Barrott admitted to him that he made a mistake. It proved to be a costly mistake as Palace lost the match 2-1.
MBAPPE CAM
ESPN streamed a dedicated “Mbappe Cam”
during the La Liga match between Real Madrid
and Mallorca. This specialized camera exclusively followed Kylian Mbappe throughout the game, providing fans with a continuous view of the French star’s every move on the pitch. Such dedicated player cameras are typically reserved for major tournaments like the World Cup and the Euros, underscoring the significance of Mbappe’s highly anticipated debut in Spanish soccer. The French superstar, however, could not find the back of the net as Los Blancos had to settle for a one-all draw in their La Liga opener.
...WITHOUT A PADEL
Manchester City captain Kyle Walker has revealed the new hobby he has picked up during the summer.

But the former Spurs right-back has been keeping himself occupied in the summer, enjoying a new sport. Padel, a hybrid between squash and tennis, has become the new craze in the UK. Played in doubles on an enclosed court with glass panels and a wire mesh fence, it can be a brutal test of skill and fitness. And Walker has been getting stuck right into padel during his break.
