13 things we loved this weekend: Van Dijk, De Gea, Griezmann, Alioski & more

Planet Football • 15 Apr 2019

Liverpool and Manchester City continued to go blow for blow in the Premier League title race this weekend, while MLS continued to serve up plenty of entertainment.

Elsewhere, there was a shock result in France as PSG were thrashed 5-1 by Lille and Antoine Griezmann was at his best for Atletico Madrid.

We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the pitch.

Virgil van Dijk

The most trusted man in Liverpool? They even let him walk out with more mascots than everybody else.

Shay Given

A hard man to please, Shay.

Love how Salah scores a worldie but Shay Given's only got eyes for that steak. 😂#LIVCHE pic.twitter.com/v6L65nVqFz

Antoine Griezmann

F*cking hell, Antoine.

Antoine Griezmann

F*cking hell, Antoine.

Nicolas Pepe

We have to admit, watching PSG get pulled apart is quite entertaining.

Gjanni Alioski

Alioski is undoubtedly one of the strangest footballers around, so just add this to his list of bizarre actions.

Don't think Alioski took kindly to being kissed 😂😂 #lufc #ncfc pic.twitter.com/PPGHCPeRwm

Sean Johnson

We told you MLS was just like the Premier League in the 90s.

Ezequiel Barco

We’re so fond of MLS because you get moments like the previous clip and moments like this.

Thomas Muller

Muller decided to show just how hungry Bayern Munich are in the Bundesliga title race by growling at the interviewer.

Aboubakar Kamara

You know that striker bombed out by Fulham after he f*cked up that penalty, fought with Aleksandar Mitrovic at yoga and was then arrested at the club’s training ground? This season is really not going well for him.
