13 things we loved this weekend: Messi, Milner, Lallana, Ibrahimovic & more
Lionel Messi has been at it again for Barcelona, while Liverpool enjoyed a perfect couple of days of piss-boiling in the Premier League this weekend.
Thanks to a 95th-minute winner against Leicester City and Manchester City’s home defeat to Wolves, Liverpool are now eight points clear at the top of the table.
We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the pitch around the world, starting with some more magic from Barcelona.
Luis Suarez
We said Suarez scored the sexiest goal of the week after his strike against Inter in the Champions League. We were wrong.

Gonzalo Higuain
A nice way to move top of the table.
James Milner
95th-minute penalty to win the game followed by this celebration. The GOAT.
Anyone know where you might be able to get a lifesize cardboard of this?

Adam Lallana
The surprise shithouse of the week – beating Andy Robertson (not literally). Sadio Mane’s reaction to Milner’s penalty is also lovely.
Look at Lallana ๐๐ pic.twitter.com/IFzE0KqIwP

Breaking MLS’s record for goals in a single season with a stylish 34th.

We’ve all been to plenty of games where this would have been the highlight.
