Ángel Di María: One of the greatest to ever wear the Albiceleste shirt.

Sporting Kansas City have won six of their last eight matches vs. American opponents, and they'll be looking to extend that streak in the Big Apple tomorrow. Andy's Bet Club previews Sporting KC's upcoming match vs. New York Red Bulls. breakingthelines.com/tactical-previ…

Saúl Ñíguez was 21 when he started in a UEFA Champions League Final for Atlético Madrid. He was 26 when he made the move to Chelsea on loan. Now 29, Saúl has joined Sevilla on loan, who find themselves mired in an early relegation battle. ScoutLaLiga: breakingthelines.com/player-analysi…

Saúl has gone from playing for Spain and starting in the CL Final to being phased out of Diego Simeone’s team. Sevilla have gone from playing in Europe 11 years in a row to taking just two points from four matches. Both are in desperate need a fresh new start this month.

Chelsea's most expensive signings of the summer: 6. Aarón Anselmino (€16.5m) 5. Mike Penders (€20m) 4. Filip Jørgensen (€24.5m) 3. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (€35.4m) 2. João Félix (€52m) 1. Pedro Neto (€60m) Mahmoud Salem on Neto's move to the Bridge: breakingthelines.com/player-analysi…

He has tough competition ahead of him in João Félix, Jadon Sancho, Mykhaylo Mudryk, Noni Madueke, Christopher Nkunku and Cole Palmer, but if he can stay fit, I firmly believe Pedro Neto will be an integral figure in Enzo Maresca’s attack. Good stuff by Mahmoud Salem on Neto.

Alejo Véliz's first senior goal in European football came on December 28: a consolation goal in a 4-2 loss at Brighton. His second goal came on Sunday: a 96th-minute winner vs. Rayo Vallecano. ScoutLaLiga runs the rule over Espanyol's Argentine striker: breakingthelines.com/player-analysi…

Alejo Véliz wasn’t quite able to cope with the adjustment to European football in his first season abroad, but after bouncing around from Tottenham to Sevilla, he may just have found the perfect platform to launch his journey at Espanyol. Great stuff by ScoutLaLiga.

No player has completed more successful dribbles in La Liga this season than Lamine Yamal (15).

The transfer window is closed, but there are still quite a few talented free agents who can sign with any club.

Zach Lowy As for that Romario story…x.com/leftsidedprob/…

Samuel Eto’o never scored a hat-trick under Leonardo. He took the story of Romario from Barcelona and made it his own. A complete made-up story. Between this and the way he’s running Cameroonian football, it’s no wonder Pep Guardiola kicked him out of Barça. Awful character.
