11 things we loved this weekend: Mbappe, Salah, Messi, Lukaku & more

On the weekend Liverpool were crowned the best club side in the world, Chelsea and Tottenham played out an absorbing encounter in the Premier League’s headline fixture.
Elsewhere, Kylian Mbappe turned it on with a striking new haircut and Romelu Lukaku continues to take Serie A by storm.
We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the pitch.
Kylian Mbappe
Just try to stop him.
From defence to attack in ten seconds 🔥

Kylian Mbappe, again
And he’s a nice man too.
Mo Salah
Another lovely man.
Mo Salah gently removing the cups from the table so that they don’t spill when it gets a bit raucous is why I would die for the man pic.twitter.com/fEVzDfCnWG

Romelu Lukaku
Incredibly pleasing aesthetically.
Perfect buildup between Candreva and Vecino and Lukaku with an immaculate finish.
One of the best goals of the season.

Romelu Lukaku, again
Not a bad afternoon for the striker, including an excellent gesture for his young team-mate.
SELFLESS, CLASS ACT | Romelu Lukaku got two goals and an assist in Inter Milan’s 4-0 win over Genoa on Saturday.
Inter’s designated spot-kick taker also stepped aside when they won a penalty to allow 17-year-old Sebastiano Esposito to score his first goal for the club. 👊🏾 pic.twitter.com/QxpaGQHoCB
