14 things we loved this weekend: Salah, Messi, Eriksen, Gazza & more
It might have been a relatively quiet international break weekend, but we still enjoyed some sensational football moments.
From World Cup qualifiers in Africa and South America on Friday night to some excellent non-league action on Saturday, there were also some enjoyable moments in international friendlies and legends’ charity matches. Who doesn’t enjoy watching Stevie G and Gazza roll back the years?
Here are 14 things we loved from this weekend.
San Marino
Actually a lovely finish.
