17 things we loved this weekend: Salah, Mane, Messi, Kean, Odegaard & more
Is it just us, or was this weekend a bit mental?
The Bundesliga exploded with goals, and brilliant ones at that, while Watford beat Wolves in a thrilling FA Cup semi-final and Liverpool returned to the top of the Premier League in a dramatic encounter at Southampton.
We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the pitch.
Mo Salah
Yeah, his goal was good, but we preferred him dummying Jordan Henderson and Andrew Robertson with his celebration.
Salah is a Savage. See what he did to Henderson and Robertson 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/8PjmjTLQLK

Sadio Mane & Naby Keita
We really wish we were given that piggyback.
Mane and Keita ❤️❤️ the relief on Keita’s face 😭❤️pic.twitter.com/nKRgZkwRy6

Kai Havertz
Sure, Leverkusen may have ultimately lost 4-2 to RB Leipzig, but f*cking hell.
Marcel Sabitzer
Unlike Havertz, Sabitzer did end up on the winning side.
Moise Kean
A late winner for Juve against Milan, Kean is The Man right now.
Lionel Messi
If he wasn’t the best goalscorer on the planet, he’d be the best playmaker. Shame Jordi Alba couldn’t finish it off, mind.
Martin Odegaard
Oh yes.
Danilo Asprilla
Keep going. Keep going. Keep going.

Sky Sports
Sky needed to get Carra and Neville down the pitch to interview Ralph Hasenhüttl without any dead time. Their plan didn’t work.
This needs an MNF analysis of its own!
– @KellyCates statuesque defending
– Sensational synchronised transition from defence into attack from @GNev2 & @Carra23
– Finished with world class walk & talk hand gestures from GNevAs bizarre as it is perfect.pic.twitter.com/SJ3azbUgPY

Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting
Textbook goalline defending.
Anthony Goncalves
The Strasbourg man showed Choupo-Moting how it’s done.
Robert Lewandowski
No, we don’t know what Dortmund are playing at either.
Ben Foster
We really, really like Ben Foster this season.
Love this! @BenFoster when asked what he would do if he was picked for the @EmiratesFACup final:
"I’ll absolutely refuse! @hdgomes deserves it and should play without a doubt. He has never let this club down and never will. He was fantastic today." pic.twitter.com/2fxhIda3ch

Hatem Ben Arfa
Ipswich Town
After their game at Bolton was almost postponed due to an IT failure at the stadium.
10' We're aware we haven't posted any updates so far.
No, there hasn't been a further IT issue, just not a lot has happened.
