19 things we loved this weekend: Sancho, Pogba, Tuchel & Lewandowski

Planet Football • 10 May 2021

Sergio Aguero’s failed Panenka penalty stole the headlines this weekend as Chelsea beat Manchester City in the Champions League final dress rehearsal.

Elsewhere, AC Milan beat Juventus 3-0 in a massive win in the race for Champions League qualification and Lille edged closer to their first Ligue 1 title in 10 years.

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

Georginio Wijnaldum

Not bad for a player who has just three goals this season.

Oh yes, @GWijnaldum 🤩 pic.twitter.com/4firlTfDlh

Paul Pogba

Pogba makes this look far too easy.

That touch 🎯https://t.co/mmrdGTx4BS

Mason Greenwood

We bet this isn’t the only record Greenwood breaks at Man Utd.

🔴 @masongreenwood – 1️⃣6️⃣
🔴 @WayneRooney – 1️⃣5️⃣

Thomas Tuchel

An unorthodox yet effective style of man-management.

Tuchel got hold of Hudson Odoi at full time and then started coaching him, then after the talk, he headlocked him 😂 https://t.co/c5FJi3IcUz

Burak Yilmaz

In the form of his career at 35. Some story.

Thirty Yard Thriller!! 🤩

Burak Yilmaz fires in a rocket from outside of the box! ☄️

Jadon Sancho

Sancho has just added a few million to his price tag with this nutmeg.

Brahim Diaz

Diaz is starting to show why he was so highly rated at Man City.

Houssem Aouar

No wonder Arsenal were interested in Aouar last summer.

Aouar needed at the carpet🤤 pic.twitter.com/mYjRg1Iemj

Robert Lewandowski

He’s now just one short of Gerd Mueller’s record of 40 goals in a single Bundesliga season.

Kayky

Man City looked to have signed a special talent.

Attention Man City fans: Kayky is at it again for Fluminense.

That’s four goals in his last seven games for the 17-year-old.#NXGN pic.twitter.com/WMouH5J5RS

Rhys Oates

If Lionel Messi wasn’t playing against Atletico Madrid, we’d think this was him.

This is ridiculous! 👏

Rhys Oates took on the whole Maidenhead defence before slamming the ball home for Hartlepool earlier today 🤩

A goal Lionel Messi would be proud of! 🐐 pic.twitter.com/O12hXo2bOs

Ian Evatt

It’s safe to say the Bolton players enjoyed their promotion to League One.
