Forget the stats and watch the player: Milan friendly confirms Liverpool have signed a truly special player in Florian Wirtz
Liverpool might not have liked the result of their friendly with Milan, but their German record signing made quite the impression Liverpool's pre-season preparations continued on Sunday with a 4-2 defeat to AC Milan in Hong Kong, but the result, as is customary at this stage, was secondary to the performances on display.

Di Maria and De Bruyne star
Manchester City took a step toward the Champions League final as they beat Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 in the first leg of the sides' semi-final tie. A Marquinhos header separated the teams at the end of a first half the hosts dominated, but City came on strong in the second, turning the game on its head through Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez.
Karim Benzema involved in every goal
Real Madrid leapfrogged Atletico Madrid into top spot in La Liga as they earned a 3-0 win over Cadiz. Zinedine Zidane's side put the pressure on their city rivals, who were bumped into second place by virtue of goal difference ahead of taking on Huesca on Thursday. A thrilling race for the Spanish title is all set for a thrilling conclusion, with Sevilla and Barcelona all firmly in the mix heading into the final six weeks.
Foden and Bernardo star
Manchester City edged closer to securing the Premier League title as they beat Aston Villa 2-1. Pep Guardiola's side responded well to falling behind to a John McGinn goal inside the first minute, with Phil Foden and Rodri getting them in front before the break. And, though it looked like John Stones' dismissal on the stroke of half-time might shift the momentum again, Matty Cash followed him off the pitch before the hour mark to hand control back to City. See how the players rated below...
Bale leads the way
Tottenham marked Ryan Mason's first game in charge with victory as they came from behind to beat Southampton 2-1. Second-half strikes from Gareth Bale and Heung-min Son helped Spurs cancel out Danny Ings' clever near-post header, which came with half an hour gone. The London club are now within two points of a top-four place and all-important Champions League qualification. But who helped get them there on Wednesday evening? Read on for our ratings.
Foden and Gundogan star for visitors
Manchester City earned their place in the Champions League semi-finals as they came from behind to beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 (4-2 agg.) in the second leg of the sides' quarter-final tie. Jude Bellingham's first-half goal looked to have set City up for another disappointing exit from Europe under Pep Guardiola. But Riyad Mahrez's penalty turned things around for the visitors, whose dominance of both fixtures made them deserving victors.
Casemiro and Nacho shine
Real Madrid secured their place in the Champions League semi-finals as they battled to a 0-0 draw with Liverpool at Anfield to progress 3-1 on aggregate. Jurgen Klopp's side created enough to chances to turn the tie on its head but their experienced opponents kept their heads brilliantly to see out the tie. Real will now face Chelsea in the last four as they look to secure yet another European Cup under Zinedine Zidane.
Maguire and Rice star
England made it three wins from three for the March international break as they claimed a 2-1 win over Poland on Wednesday. Gareth Southgate's side cemented the early lead they have taken in UEFA qualification Group I with a hard-fought victory over Paulo Sousa's side at Wembley. So, who performed well for the Three Lions? Take a look below.
Havertz and Werner struggle as Germany beaten
Struggling Chelsea duo Kai Havertz and Timo Werner endured an evening to forget as Germany were beaten at home by North Macedonia. The pair have fallen short of expectations at Stamford Bridge since their arrival in deals worth a combined £120m over the summer. Havertz has found the back of the net just five times in 32 outings, while Werner has managed a slightly more respectable haul of 10 goals in 39 games.
240 minutes and nine shots since last France goal
Kylian Mbappe failed to find the scoresheet for a fourth consecutive game for France as they beat Bosnia and Herzegovina 1-0. Didier Deschamps' men rounded off a good start to their World Cup qualification campaign with a hard-fought win in Sarajevo on Wednesday evening. However, their main goal threat drew another blank for his country, despite featuring for 90 minutes in a two-man attack alongside matchwinner Antoine Griezmann.
How England could line up against San Marino
With England set to contest three World Cup qualifiers in the next six days, Gareth Southgate will no doubt see a meeting with San Marino as his best chance to rotate. Thursday's visitors to Wembley have only ever won one official fixture - against Liechenstein in 2004 - and so shouldn't pose too much of a threat to even a much-changed Three Lions team.
Ronaldo and Fernandes ratings v Azerbaijan
Portugal got their World Cup qualifying campaign off to a winning start against Azerbaijan despite Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes failing to fire. The pair took an incredible 13 shots between them across 90 minutes in Turin, but neither managed to find the back of the net as Fernando Santos' men claimed a 1-0 victory. In fact, the only goal came when Azerbaijan defender Maksim Medvedev put through his own net with 37 minutes gone.
Erling Haaland: Player Rating and performance v Gibraltar
Erling Haaland drew a rare blank in front of goal as Norway took on Gibraltar in World Cup qualifying on Wednesday evening. Having scored six goals in his last four outings for Borussia Dortmund, the 20-year-old would have hoped to boost his tally for the campaign against opponents ranked 195th out of all 210 nations by Fifa. However, he failed to find the back of the net despite a flurry of attempts before being withdrawn in the second half on a forgettable evening on a personal level.
Memphis Depay: Player Rating and performance v Turkey
Memphis Depay played a starring role for the Netherlands as they suffered a 4-2 defeat to Turkey in a thrilling World Cup qualifier. The 27-year-old, who is being eyed by Barcelona as he nears the end of his Lyon contract this summer, did his hopes of a move to Camp Nou little harm with a fine performance in Istanbul despite missing a late spot-kick. Take a closer look at his contributions below...
Bayern Munich 2-1 Lazio Player Ratings: Alaba stars
Bayern Munich eased into the last eight of the Champions League final as they won the sides' last-16 second leg meeting 2-1. Leading 4-1 from the first leg in Italy, the holders barely looked threatened as they completed a comfortable aggregate success at home. Find out who performed best below.
Timo Werner: Player rating and performance v Atletico Madrid
Chelsea cruised into the quarter-finals of the Champions League as they claimed a deserved 2-0 victory over Atletico Madrid (3-0 agg.) on Wednesday evening. Thomas Tuchel's decision to omit first-leg goalscorer Olivier Giroud raised some eyebrows pre-match, particularly as Timo Werner instead returned to the starting XI after also missing Saturday's visit to Leeds United. But the German put in performance that more than justified his manager's call - take a closer look below.
Liverpool 2-0 RB Leipzig Player Ratings: Thiago stars
Liverpool cruised into the quarter-finals of the Champions League as they claimed a 2-0 (4-0 agg) win over RB Leipzig. Having lost three of their four games since beating the Germans by the same scoreline in the first leg, the Reds came into their 'home' leg in Budapest short on confidence. But they were once again convincing winners on their second trip to Hungarian capital, earning a deserved place in the last eight. Take a closer look at how the players performed below.
Man City 5-2 Southampton Player Ratings: De Bruyne stars
Manchester City got immediately back to winning ways as they claimed a 5-2 win over Southampton on Wednesday evening. After seeing a 21-game winning run ended by defeat in the Manchester derby last time out, normal service quickly resumed for Pep Guardiola's side. See how the players rated in a convincing Premier League win below.
Lionel Messi: Player Rating and performance v Sevilla
Barcelona claimed a place in the Copa del Rey final as they beat Sevilla 3-0 in a dramatic semi-final second leg tie. Trailing 2-0 from the first leg, Ronald Koeman's side halved the deficit early on at Camp Nou as Ousmane Dembele netted with just 12 minutes gone. But they were forced to wait until the fourth minute of injury time to draw level, Gerard Pique coming up with the all-important goal.
Crystal Palace 0-0 Man Utd, Player Ratings: Cavani poor
Manchester United failed to close the gap on Premier League leaders Manchester City as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Crystal Palace. Ole Gunnar Solksjaer's men sit 14 points shy of their city rivals after a forgettable visit to Selhurst Park that saw them dominate the ball but do little with it. Here's how the players from both sides rated...
Guardiola insists Cancelo 'has to improve'
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola shared his belief that Joao Cancelo 'has to improve' despite his impressive performance in Wednesday's 2-0 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach. The Portuguese laid on the assists for both City goals, contested 17 duels, and completed four dribbles in an outstanding showing in Budapest. He has emerged as one of the star men for Guardiola's men this season after struggling to make an impact in the immediate aftermath of his arrival from Juventus.
Atalanta 0-1 Real Madrid Player Ratings: Mendy stars
Real Madrid took charge of their Champions League last-16 tie against Atalanta with a 1-0 win in Bergamo on Wednesday. A late goal from Ferland Mendy decided a hard-fought game that swung in the visitors' favour thanks to an early red card. Atalanta 0-1 Real Madrid: Player Ratings, Match Stats, Player Stats So which players stood out most on the night?
Liverpool youngster Harvey Elliott scores again
Liverpool loanee Harvey Elliott impressed again despite Blackburn Rovers suffering a 3-2 defeat to Watford on Wednesday evening. Restored to the starting XI after a three-game absence that coincided with three defeats for Rovers, the Englishman made his mark once again. Take a closer look at his performance below...
Dele Alli the star man as Tottenham beat Wolfsberger
Dele Alli produced a star turn as Tottenham cruised into the Europa League last 16 on Wednesday evening. The midfielder grabbed a goal and two assists as he made the most of a rare start under Jose Mourinho, leading Spurs to a 4-0 victory (8-1 on aggregate). Take a closer look at an outstanding performance below.
Haaland proves he and Mbappe can be new Messi and Ronaldo
Erling Haaland will surely have been watching on as Kylian Mbappe announced himself as a pretender to Lionel Messi's throne on Tuesday evening. The Frenchman's hat-trick against Barcelona at Camp Nou had led to talk of a changing of the guard; to suggestions that he will be the one to succeed Messi as the best player in the world. But it seems Haaland took great offence to such a discussion unfolding in his absence, and so aimed his frustration at Sevilla 24 hours later.
Mourinho's defensive concerns worsen as Spurs concede five
Jose Mourinho was offered a reminder of the defensive worries that are undermining his Tottenham revolution as his team were knocked out of the FA Cup at Everton. Although Spurs managed four goals in a thrilling game that went to extra-time, they conceded five to see their cup run come to an end in the fifth round. It is the first time that has happened to a Mourinho team since January 2015, when Chelsea were beaten by a Mauricio Pochettino-managed Tottenham.
Rakitic comes back to haunt Barcelona as Sevilla win cup tie
Ivan Rakitic offered Barcelona a reminder of what they let go last summer as he helped Sevilla carve out a 2-0 aggregate lead over Barcelona in the Copa del Rey. The Croatia international departed Camp Nou in September, bringing an end to a trophy-laden six-year stay that him win four La Liga titles, four Copas del Rey and the Champions League. That paved the way for an emotional return to the south of Spain where he won the Europa League over a three-year period prior to his Barca move.
Rodri concern taints Manchester City win over Swansea
Manchester City cruised into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup as they claimed a 3-1 away win over Swansea City on Wednesday evening. But a night that saw Pep Guardiola's men claim a 15th consecutive victory in all competitions wasn't entirely defined by good news. The Spaniard was given major cause for concern in the 72nd minute when compatriot Rodri was forced off due to injury. The midfielder was seen limping down the Liberty Stadium tunnel after leaving the pitch, and looked in some discomfort.
Shaqiri struggles
Brighton pulled further away from the relegation zone as they claimed a shock 1-0 away win over Liverpool. Graham Potter's men moved 10 points clear of the bottom three as they battled to a brilliant victory over last year's Premier League champions. Liverpool 0-1 Brighton: Player Ratings, Match Stats, Player Stats So which players stood out?
Gundogan continues fine run
Manchester City claimed a 13th straight win in all competitions as they beat Burnley 2-0 at Turf Moor. First-half goals from Gabriel Jesus and Ilkay Gundogan decided a one-sided game in Lancashire, which saw Pep Guardiola's men go four points clear at the top of the Premier League.

Sir Alex Ferguson's Man Utd team talk secrets revealed
Michael Owen has revealed how an 'emotional' Sir Alex Ferguson team talk helped inspire Manchester United to Champions League victory over Chelsea in 2011. The Scot delivered countless rousing speeches to his players across a 39-year managerial career that saw him win 16 league titles, two European Cups and a host of other honours. Owen witnessed many during his three-season stay at Old Trafford, but one in particular stands out in his mind.
Tuchel reveals Chelsea plan for Kante, Mount and Gilmour
Thomas Tuchel has opened up on his plans for N'Golo Kante, Mason Mount and Billy Gilmour after the trio missed out on starting his first game as Chelsea manager. Kante has failed to appear in the Blues' last five games due to a hamstring injury but is nearing a return to action. And new boss Tuchel has big ideas about how he plans to use a player he has admitted to wanted to previously sign for Paris Saint-Germain. "[I am] excited to work with him.
Ferdinand criticises 'invisible' Manchester United duo
Rio Ferdinand criticised an 'invisible' display from Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford after Manchester United suffered defeat to Sheffield United. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men missed the chance to leapfrog Manchester City at the Premier League's summit as they were beaten 2-1 at Old Trafford by the side currently propping up the division. Ferdinand was particularly unimpressed by the performance of two members of a front three that were largely kept quiet throughout by the visitors.
Basham outstanding
Manchester United's undefeated Premier League run was ended by a surprise loss to Sheffield United on Wednesday evening. Manchester United 1-2 Sheffield United: Player Ratings, Match Stats, Player Stats See how the players from both sides rated below. ✔️ GOOD PERFORMANCE John Fleck: 7.0 Sheffield United continually struck a good balance between defending deep and resolutely and getting up the pitch at the right times to relieve pressure.
Chelsea 0-0 Wolves Player Ratings
Chelsea were held to a 0-0 draw by Wolves in their first game under new head coach Thomas Tuchel. Chelsea 0-0 Wolves: Player Ratings, Match Stats, Player Stats Find out who stood out on the German's debut below. ✔️ GOOD PERFORMANCE Rui Patricio: 7.8 Chelsea struggled creatively throughout but, when they did manage to carve out chances, Rui Patricio was on hand. The Portuguese made five saves and was consistently decisive under crosses as the hosts tried to take the aerial route to goal.
Tuchel: Havertz, Werner and Kante attracted me to Chelsea
Thomas Tuchel has explained that the chance to work with a Chelsea squad packed with so much young talent - as well as N'Golo Kante - was just too good to turn down. The German was confirmed as the new Blues boss on Wednesday, succeeding Frank Lampard, who paid for a poor start to the season with his job at the start of this week.
Fulham 1-2 Man Utd Player Ratings
Manchester United came from behind to return to the top of the Premier League with a 2-1 win over Fulham. Goals from Edinson Cavani and Paul Pogba cancelled out Ademola Lookman's early strike for the hosts. So how did both sets of players perform? Fulham 1-2 Manchester United: Player Ratings, Match Stats, Player Stats ✔️ GOOD PERFORMANCE Ademola Lookman: 7.6 After getting an early confidence boost in the form of the opening goal, Lookman put in a performance worthy of being on the winning side.
Man City 2-0 Aston Villa Player Ratings
Manchester City moved top of the Premier League as they scored two late goals to beat Aston Villa 2-0. Bernardo Silva broke the deadlock with a fine strike from the edge of the box in the 79th minute, with the goal allowed to stand despite Rodri having seemingly returned from an offside position to regain possession. And Ilkay Gundogan wrapped things up shortly after from the spot, converting after Matty Cash had been penalised for handball. Here's how the players from both sides fared.
Areola denies Spurs
Tottenham missed a chance to return to the Premier League top four as they conceded a late equaliser to draw 1-1 with Fulham. Leading through Harry Kane's first-half header, Spurs' attempts to protect their only invited more pressure from the visitors, who grew in confidence as the game wore on. And their pressure told in the 74th minute as Ivan Cavaleiro headed brilliantly home to move Scott Parker's side within two points of safety with two games in hand on 17th-placed Brighton.
Foden the standout
Manchester City continued their recent renaissance as they claimed a fourth consecutive Premier League win by beating Brighton 1-0. Phil Foden's second-half strike earned Pep Guardiola's team the points despite Raheem Sterling missing an injury-time penalty. But they were tested at times by adventurous opponents who showed no signs that they had come into the game on an eight-match winless run in the league.
Aston Villa hopefu FA Cup clash with Liverpool will go ahead
Aston Villa are hoping to ensure their FA Cup third round tie against Liverpool on Friday will go ahead, despite the Midlands club reporting a coronavirus outbreak. The Villans closed their Bodymoor Heath training ground on Thursday afternoon after a number of players and staff returned positive Covid-19 tests. That forced the cancellation of a pre-Liverpool training session, seemingly putting tomorrow evening's game at risk.
Who should Liverpool use more?
Liverpool look set to see out the remainder of the season without defensive reinforcements. Despite losing Virgil both van Dijk and Joe Gomez to long-term injury, Jurgen Klopp currently has no plans to add a centre-back to his squad in January. Given Joel Matip's fitness record, that is likely to mean that youngsters Nathaniel Phillips and Rhys Williams will get plenty of opportunities before the campaign is out. But which one should be Klopp's preferred option?
Ruben Dias shines
Manchester City claimed a place in the League Cup final as they beat Manchester United 2-0 at Old Trafford on Wednesday evening. John Stones and Fernandinho grabbed the goals for the visitors, who will now take on Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley in April for the trophy.
