15 things we loved this weekend: Werner, Keita, Messi, De Bruyne

Planet Football 16 Nov 2020

Europe’s major leagues may have had a week off due to the international break, but there was still plenty of exciting action around the world.

Chelsea’s Timo Werner maintained his excellent goalscoring form, while Lionel Messi gave us yet another reminder of his genius.

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

Arturo Vidal

Even by Vidal’s high standards, this is impressive.

Arturo Vidal scored both goals in Chile's 2-0 win over Peru.

This one was unstoppable 🚀

Kevin De Bruyne makes everything look so easy.

Sadio Mane

Liverpool fans will be just be relieved that he’s not injured.
