18 things we loved this weekend: Pedri, Jesus, Ronaldo, Keane & more
Football delivered in all of its weird and wonderful ways this weekend as Arsenal enjoyed a huge victory over Liverpool and Der Klassiker lived up to its billing.
Borussia Dortmund’s late equaliser against Bayern Munich sent the Yellow Wall into ecstasy and such scenes were matched at the Emirates after Arsenal’s latest win.
Elsewhere, AC Milan eased past Juventus in Italy while Sergio Ramos was up to his old tricks for PSG.
We’ve collected together some of the weekend moments that made us swoon, laugh or left the hairs on the back of our necks standing up…
Gabriel Jesus
Jesus left Trent Alexander-Arnold with twisted blood after this exchange.

Roy Keane
It takes bravery, guts and composure to ask Keane for a selfie while the football’s on.
