Football Around The World Soccer

[Snoops]

This thread is to discuss football matches and leagues around the world other than the Premier League

Leo Messi didn't look happy as he was subbed off with PSG drawing 1-1 with Lyon. It appears as though he snubbed Pochettino's handshake as he came off. PSG went on to win the game 2-1 and maintain their 100% winning start to the league season.

In Spain, Real Madrid scored 2 goals in the last 4 minutes to beat Valencia 2-1 and go top of La Liga.

And in Italy, Juventus draw 1-1 at home against AC Milan. Juventus currently have 2 points from 4 games and sit 18th in Serie A.

Barcelona fans are calling for Ronald Koeman to be fired after the Catalans could only draw 1-1 with Granada tonight after scoring an injury-time equaliser. Koeman actually brought on defender Gerard Pique to play as a makeshift centre forward with 15 minutes remaining which hasn't gone down well with the fans!

Barcelona sits 7th in the league and have crippling debts. Tough times ahead.

A full strength PSG team lost 2-0 to Rennes in the French league. The defeat signals the end of PSG's 100% winning start to the league season.

Pedri signed a new 5 year deal with Barcelona. The release clause is €1B (ONE BILLION EUROS!!!)

Ansu Fati is an absolute world-beater, lovely goal against Valencia. What a footballer.

A lot has been made of Barca's demise but in Fati, Gavi, Pedri they have three world-class talents to build around.

Juventus 1 Roma 0

A proper throwback to Allegri's first spell in terms of Juve's performance in a big game tonight. Score with their only chance of note, Chiellini and Bonucci magnificent in repelling Roma's attack and a very controversial refereeing call in their favour.

Still nowhere near where they were 3 or 4 years ago in terms of the quality of the squad and would be surprised if they end up being serious title contenders this season but they're slowly starting to look like more of a team again without Ronaldo.

Ansu Fati is an absolute world-beater, lovely goal against Valencia. What a footballer.

Barcelona has announced Ansu Fati has signed a new contract until June 2027 with a €1B release clause.

The first El Clasico for a long time with no Ronaldo or Messi in the starting line-ups.

Sergino Dest missed an absolute sitter for Barcelona, blazing over the bar from 12 yards out with only Courtois to beat.

David Alaba scores a screamer on his El Clasico debut, scoring his first goal for Madrid and giving them the lead.

Another defeat for Barcelona, as they lose 1-0 to Rayo Vallecano in a game where Memphis Depay also missed a penalty. They sit down in 9th place in La Liga
