Planet Football โ€ข

While transfer rumours continue to dominate the headlines, there was still plenty of entertaining football over the weekend.ย 

Lille beat Paris Saint-Germainย 1-0 to secure the first trophy of the 2021-22 season, while other clubsย continued theirย pre-season preparations.

Weโ€™ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the field.ย 

Nani

The former Manchester United star can’t stop scoring for Orlando City.

Memphis Depay

Memphis has hit the ground running with two goals in two games.

Xeka

This incredible strike helped Lille win their firstย Tropheeย Des Champions title.

It’s easy to see why Vieira has been linked with a move to Liverpool.

Note to self: start watching more Mexican football.

This hit from the Mexico midfielder stayed hit. Golazo.
