Kylian Mbappe and Neymar both scored hat-tricks as leaders Paris Saint-Germain moved closer to a record-breaking 10th French league title with a 6-1 win over Clermont. Kylian Mbappe and Neymar both scored hat-tricks as leaders Paris Saint-Germain moved closer to a record-breaking 10th French league title with a 6-1 win over Clermont. PSG extended their lead to 15 points after this weekend with seven rounds to go. Lionel Messi selected Neymar, who fired into the far corner to open the scoring in the sixth minute. The Argentina star then chested a Neymar cross in the 19th to volley for Mbappe, who defeated goalkeeper Arthur Desmas on Saturday. PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino showed signs of irritation on the touchline as his visiting side grew smug after scoring the second goal. Clermont scored in the 42nd round when Benin winger Jodel Dossou tapped into a cross from Saif-Eddine Khaoui. Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma protected PSG's lead by saving Jason Berthomier's shot in the 62nd minute before PSG took full control. Neymar gave PSG a 3-1 lead by converting a penalty in the 71st minute after Clermont full-back Akim Zedadka brought down Mbappe. Three minutes later, Neymar smacked a ball over the top for Mbappe, who rounded Desmas to score in an empty net. Mbappe scored his hat-trick by rolling into the far corner in the 80th to take his tally to a league-leading 20 goals. The French forward generously set up Neymar for a tap-in for his hat-trick in the 83rd. Messi, Neymar and Mbappe combine more effectively on the field, with greater understanding between players. "There were some events that delayed us." Messi needed time to adjust to a new league and suffered minor blows, while Neymar struggled with fitness earlier in the season and was then sidelined for more than two months with an ankle injury. PSG have been on a losing streak of four games on the road in all competitions, while Clermont suffered a fifth straight defeat to stay in 17th place, a point above the relegation zone. Also on Saturday, Benjamin Bourigeaud scored twice as Rennes moved up to second with a 3-2 win at Reims. Rennes are level on points with Marseille, who host Montpellier on Sunday. Reims created chances early by pressing high on the field, forcing Rennes goalkeeper Dogan Alemdar to save Marshall Munetsi in the fourth minute and Nathanael Mbuku in the 25th minute. After a shaky start, Rennes settled down and took control of the game. Bourigeaud opened the scoring by heading home a Gaetan Laborde cross in the 39th. The Rennes midfielder doubled the lead in the 43rd with a deflected shot. With eight goals and eleven assists in the league, Bourigeaud is enjoying his best season to date. Then Reims substitute Moussa Doumbia had saved his penalty from Alemdar in the 77th after Rennes centre-back Nayef Aguerd Ilan Kebbal tripped. The hosts conceded another penalty three minutes later when Busi's shot caught Adrien Truffert's hand.
PARIS (AP) - Midfielder Ander Herrera scored two goals and Kylian Mbappe added another when French league leaders Paris Saint-Germain defeated newly promoted Clermont 4-0 on Saturday to score five straight wins. Midfielder Idrissa Gueye came off the bench mid-way through the second half to score the fourth goal. Italy star goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma made his debut for PSG, whose home fans will have to wait even longer to see Lionel Messi at Parc des Princes. After the international match, they could return on Wednesday when PSG opens their Champions League season in Bruges. Messi could make his home debut against Lyon next Sunday. But Mbappe shrugged off a minor calf injury sustained in the international match with France and confidently finished Danilo Pereira's pass in the 54th minute. Herrera scored a rare brace with goals in the first half and Gueye scored in the 64th. In the late game, striker Bamba Dieng scored both goals when Marseille won 2-0 at Monaco, moving up to third place. Dieng was difficult to curb for Monaco's defense and hit the post twice before his first goal in the 36th goal. Marseille have scored 10 goals so far, with only PSG scoring more with 16. Monaco finished third last season but only won once and are in 14th place ahead of Sunday's games. "We didn't expect four points from five games, but that's how it is," said Monaco coach Niko Kovac. Nice are also unbeaten ahead of a trip to Nantes and Lyon need to find form at home against Strasbourg. Lyon coach Peter Bosz is still busy with his new role after replacing Rudi Garcia and has only won once. Lyon's defense needs to improve quickly after losing seven goals in four games.

The report claims that in the Regulations on the Status and Transfer of FIFA Players, in particular Article 18.3, a professional player who plays less than 10% of the club can terminate the contract for sporting reasons. That claim can only come from the footballer and not the club, however, but it could allow the former France international to leave the Catalan capital in 2022. Real Betis arrives in the summer when his contract with the Gunners is only one year left. "If I didn't want to be here next year, I wouldn't have come from the start," El Desmarque quoted Bellerin as saying.

The German international will get the chance to show off his skills this Sunday when runner-up Leverkusen receives league leaders Bayern (livestream on ESPN + at 9.30 a.m. ET), but what can his club and country expect from the midfielder? With five goals from six competitive games for Leverkusen this season, it is certainly Wirtz's top scorer who have drawn the most attention lately. But while his ability in front of goal has improved (he's already just one goal behind last season's Bundesliga record of five), the overall quality and precision of his attacking moves make him special. He's also refreshingly practical in his way of playing football; There's a purpose behind everything he does, and he's selfless enough to understand the importance of getting the ball moving instead of just dribbling for the sake of dribbling. 2:23 p.m. BST: Juventus are keen to switch to Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva in January, says Calciomercato. Silva, 27, would like to leave City and Juve would like to make a loan switch with the option to sign him permanently next summer.

The 22-year-old Lang only moved from Ajax to Belgium in 2020 for around 6 million euros, but was so impressive that his new team is demanding 40 million euros from interested clubs.

However, the Catalan club's financial troubles make any possible deal difficult. Still, Sport report that the club has been approached by mutual funds that could back a Norwegian international player move, which is likely to be a € 75million target for many of Europe's biggest clubs if its release clause is activated next summer.

Mundo Deportivo say the club will follow a similar line until the money crisis eases, considering Ajax goalkeeper Onana, Manchester United midfielder Pogba, Chelsea defender Rudiger and Milan midfielder Kessie. Onana graduated from the club's academy before joining Ajax in 2015.

Raiola wants negotiations for a move the following summer in January and City are front runners, as Haaland's father Alf-Inge played for the club from 2000 to 2003. After failing to land Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane in the last window, City boss Pep Guardiola wants a new central attacker to close the gap that Sergio Aguero left behind after Barcelona. 8:30 am BST: Diego Simeone has admitted he wanted to bring Lionel Messi to Atletico Madrid this summer and said he called Atletico striker Luis Suarez to ask if a deal was possible. Messi became a free agent when his contract with Barcelona expired on June 30 and planned to stay until the club announced financial problems would prevent them from signing a new, agreed deal. The 34-year-old finally signed a two-year contract with Paris Saint-Germain on August 10 with an option for another year. But Simeone made a game to clear the situation up by speaking to Suarez, who is best friends with Messi from their time together at Camp Nou. "When what happened in Barcelona, we called Luis," Simeone told the Argentine newspaper Diario Ole on Tuesday. He envisioned joining Atletico Madrid. "Simeone said his hopes of signing Messi were short-lived when it emerged that talks with PSG were well advanced." Paris Saint-Germain was obviously obsessed with that obligation. The truth is that [Messi coaches] didn't happen because he was in Barcelona, we were with Atletico and while he was with the national team I wasn't there. "- Paris Saint-Germain could start for Fiorentinas Dusan Vlahovic, writes Le10 Sport. It is reported that PSG sporting director Leonardo sees the Serie A frontman as a possible replacement should Kylian Mbappe leave Parc des Princes for Real Madrid in the summer, the latest team interested in the Serbian international, who continues to be linked to a move from La Viola and his contract is worth around 70m euros to a number of LaLiga players.

The Serie A club are looking to cut the player's salary by up to 50%, which has resulted in Agent Mino Raiola refusing to cooperate at the San Siro. The Italian defender is reportedly one of the highest earning Rossoneri, taking home around € 6 million a year including bonuses.
ReadLast updated on. From the Football category Your coat of arms was a floor plan of a football on a neon blue background. "I carried my nerves outside of my skin," said Hjaere. "It felt like I was watching my national team Denmark at a big game. The team in white had no history or home ground. The players had only met two days before. They were all users of Tonsser. Founded in 2014 by Hjaere and Peter Holm, the app records the progress of uncommitted young players. Teammates and opponents rate each other, upload footage and send statistics. And since 2019 the best can apply to become part of Tonsser United - the team in white. Hjaere had the app many times in boardrooms and business meetings. Now his claim that untapped talent outside the professional clubs is untapped has been put to the test on the pitch. "We couldn't understand why there are around 55,000 professional footballers around the world who are really part of one Over-saturated ecosystem in which companies monitor statistics, cameras are the majority film of them and a reasonably well-functioning transfer system. But below that tip of the iceberg there are 100 million young players who are not mapped. "It's difficult to identify players and unleash potential. That was a mystery to us, especially when youth footballers are one of the most ambitious and passionate groups in the world. Old-fashioned social networks. Scouts comb through the local leagues, get tips from contacts, rush and keep quiet, to sign the next big thing. As you know, Jamie Vardy was on the books of a limb-making factory in Sheffield, rather than one of the city's football league clubs, in his late teens. Former England internationals Ian Wright, Chris Waddle , Stuart Pearce and Peter Beardsley were missed by big clubs even at a young age. Hjaere and Holm consider such oversights to be inevitable. For them scouting systems are prone to bias, blind spots and simple bad luck. If a player on a given day one performs badly, his chance could be lost forever, but we nn players rate each other when a critical mass of users the hose ratings, when backed up by camera footage and validated statistics, the "wisdom of the crowd" shines through. "If you want to find the best player on the team, you have to ask the players who are constantly competing," says Hjaere. One is that, as individuals, once we've seen a gamer is good, we look for evidence that reinforces that pattern, rather than things that challenge it. “The clubs believe they know everything about their region, but this information comes from individuals with their own subjectivity. Over time, the bias builds and the club beats well above its weight in the championship and this season in the Premier League. "Often these judgments about young football players are very sharp, they are based on very subjective - and sometimes imprecise - information," he told BBC Sport. "At this age it is very difficult to identify talent and predict exactly who will make it." What we see in the competition for young talent is a race to the bottom, with clubs making decisions about younger and younger players ever earlier but increases the chances of being wrong. "Scouting reports are subjective. We believe in increasing the sample size of many different opinions about a player before we make a judgment." various clubs across Europe have searched their data to find talent, and Ankersen is one of the investors who have put a total of 15 million euros into the company since it was founded. More than 1.3 million young footballers worldwide are in the app. But, as always in football, the most important thing is the score, and that's how Tonsser United - the team chosen from among the app's top users - was followed by a 1-1 draw by Paris St. that day in the French capital with a win against Lille, a draw against Marseille and a narrow defeat against Juventus. They didn't win the tournament, but the players, Holm and Hjaere, had proven their point. Their team has taken on some of the strongest academies in Europe. And they have continued to do so with new groups of players at tournaments across the continent. Not all of the app's best players have played for their team. Leicester defender Wesley Fofana was there before signing his first contract with St. Etienne. Sampdoria playmaker Mikel Damsgaard, like several of the Danish Euro 2020 squads, was a user in his youth. All of them were bought up by professional clubs without playing for Tonsser United. But for other players it made a difference. Of those who have played for the team, 65% have since completed trial training or signed up with professional clubs. Players like Fin Stevens, the 18-year-old full-back in Brentford's books. Or Enzo Lefel, the 17-year-old goalkeeper, who moved to the French first division club Angers after his appearance for the team from non-League Balma. "Playing for Tonsser really boosted my confidence," he told BBC Sport. “I've seen that I have what it takes to sign up for an academy.” My teammates are like family. "It starts with messages of congratulations when one of us signs for a club. We are constantly motivating each other." Some need this motivation, help and advice more than others. A tall, lean playmaker in the shape of his idol Paul Pogba, Issiaga Camara was on the team that drew against PSG. His performance drew the attention of many clubs. Tonsser helps him clarify his status and sign a professional contract. "One of the players told me that Tonsser United was the underdog's national team," said Holm. In addition, it can forever change the way talent is selected in the world's richest game.

ReadParis Saint-Germain had to do without Lionel Messi, Neymar, Angel Di Maria and Marquinhos against Angers SCO on Friday. The impact of the recent international break should not detract from the visitors' performance, which was the last in a string of encouraging performances under new boss Gerald Baticle, but PSG were again deeply disappointing, needing a header from Danilo Pereira and a controversial late penalty from Kylian Mbappe over VAR to save them from a second consecutive loss. Gini Wijnaldum, who expressed his concern about his current situation in Paris during the international break, was only on substitute alongside Julian Draxler, while Juan Bernat returned after a lengthy injury break, so it was hardly the bare bones, even if there were some important names missing . However, PSG made it seem like they could barely make a coherent selection with 90 more tedious minutes in which they didn't deserve much more than a point and Angers may even resent that given their championship in the Les Parisiens first half . Like a few weeks ago against Olympique Lyonnais, when Neymar was awarded an incredible penalty for an argument with Malo Gusto in which he appeared to be at least an equal aggressor, VAR PSG came to the rescue with another penalty out of nowhere. Mbappe, fresh from the expulsion of his Euro 2020 summer spirits after his miss against Switzerland, added his penalty against Belgium, which brought France to the final with a 3-2 win in the UEFA Nations League and with equal sovereignty to Paul Bernardoni. To say it was a tough blow to Angers, however, would be an understatement, and Baticle's men will have a hard time putting so much into an ultimately unrewarded evening under the lights in the capital. Expect things to be massively different against RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday when the big guns are back and try to stay at the top of Group A after the impressive win over Manchester City last time, however you can't escape the feeling that PSG are scratching just by doing the bare minimum.

Gini Wijnaldum, who expressed concern about his current situation in Paris during the international break , was just a replacement alongside Julian Draxler while Juan Bernat was returning from a lengthy injury break, so it was hardly the bare bones, even if some big names were missing a coherent selection with 90 more tedious minutes in which they really didn't get much more than a point deserved, and Angers could even resent their first half at Les Parisiens, like they did a couple of weeks ago against Olympique Lyonnais when Neymar was awarded an incredible penalty for a mess with Malo Gusto in which he was at least an equal aggressor Seemed, VAR came to PSG's aid with another kick out of nowhere after his summer spirits missed penalty shoot-out against Switzerland, in addition to his penalty against Belgium, which brought France to the final with a 3-2 win in the UEFA Nations League and with equal sovereignty against Paul Bernardoni. We work all week to deliver a decent performance, it doesn't make sense that the referees don't also take their time. "I'm tired of this VAR business. Icardi commits a foul early in the game, he pulls my arm, I fall, and then he uses his position to win the penalty. To say it was tough" A blow for Angers would be an understatement, however, and the men of Baticle will have a hard time putting so much into an ultimately unrewarded evening under the lights in the capital. VAR goes for you and sometimes it goes against you. I can understand why Angers is complaining. We would have liked to have won differently here. This time it went in our favor. "Expect things to be massively different for PSG on Tuesday against RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League when the big guns are back and after the impressive win over Manchester City last time around Want to stay at the top of Group A, but you can't escape the feeling that Pochettino's men scratch by doing the bare minimum.
