Wrapping up in Paris with Serbia v Croatia in the men’s water polo final. Something like my 40th sports fixture/event of the last two months.

It’s been one hell of a summer. Time to reboot a little & ease off googling taekwondo or water polo. Had no idea how Paris would handle the Olympics but imagine they’ll look back at a resounding triumph - hugely surpassed my expectations.

Big, exclusive interview with Sam Morsy - the Premier League’s newest captain. Nearly threw it all away at 16; now he’s the dynamo who has led Ipswich to the top. The month before his 33rd birthday, we get to the bottom of what’s driven him here at last. theguardian.com/football/artic…

Sam Morsy is 32 & has never played in the PL. Maybe you used to consider him a journeyman. When he joined Ipswich he sensed the dream of top flight was over - instead he captains them vs Liverpool today. Pleasure to meet & interview him this week. theguardian.com/football/artic… #ITFC

It's a scorcher in Monte Carlo but, certainly in UK, public perception of new expanded Champions League format seems pretty lukewarm. “The need to play regular matches in Europe comes from the clubs, not Uefa,” said Giorgio Marchetti yesterday. Draw later. theguardian.com/football/artic…
