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