15 things we loved this week: Gnabry, Rashford, Thiago, Neymar & more

While we’re excited about the return of elite club football this weekend, the international break provided plenty of fun moments this week.
We usually start the week on a Monday by looking back at the best clips from the weekend, and with football pretty much taking place every day now the game’s calendar has been turned on its head, we’ve decided to start replicating the feature on a Friday. We’re also going to take this chance to introduce a few non-football-related things that we’ve enjoyed.
So without further ado, here are a few things that made us smile this week, including some good news about our favourite music venue in the land.
Serge Gnabry
This kind of finish is always a lot of fun. That Germany kit is, typically, an absolute belter as well.

San Marino
Enough to warm the coldest of hearts. Maybe not Roy Keane’s, actually.
After losing 40 matches in a row, San Marino finally broke the cycle last night, by earning a 0-0 draw against Liechtenstein.
It was the first time they kept a clean sheet away from home in their 30-year history. 🇸🇲👏 pic.twitter.com/iEHBWz1zmg

Diogo Jota
There’s a very big Sadio Mane vibe to all of this.

2 goals and 1 assist. His star is rising.

Neymar
He’s now overtaken Ronaldo in the list of Brazil’s greatest goalscorers. We loved his little tribute to O Fenomeno in celebrating the achievement.
🥇 @Pele (77)
🥈 @neymarjr (64)
🥉 @Ronaldo (62)🇧🇷 Neymar's hat-trick sends him 2nd on Brazil's all-time top scorers. The 28-year-old celebrates by doing a number 9 with his hands & imitating Ronaldo's trademark finger-wagging celebration in a fitting tribute to Fenômeno ™️ pic.twitter.com/D9DDgiTnAB

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Scoring all those goals is clearly tiring work.

Olivier Bernard
Bernard turned 41 this week, so it felt only right to revisit his greatest moment at Newcastle…
It’s Olivier Bernard’s birthday today. You remember him.

Thiago Alcantara
Something tells us that James Milner is a little envious of his new team-mate’s technique.

Juan Roman Riquelme
A miserable, rainy Tuesday was brightened up by this compilation of Riquelme – specifically, that flick over Tony Hibbert.

The Brudenell Social Club
We spend more time there then we possibly should, so this news made us incredibly happy. When all this sh*te is finally over, treat yourself to a gig there. You won’t regret it.
We are delighted to announce that our bid for the Cultural Recovery Fund was successful!
