Chelsea returns to the top four with a win over Tottenham, thanks to an Enzo Fernandez header.

Chelsea returned to the Premier League's top four after beating Tottenham 1-0 at Stamford Bridge thanks to Enzo Fernandez's header early in the second half. Enzo Maresca's team was under pressure after limping into the international break playing football that had lost its appeal to home fans, but they mainly outperformed a dismal Spurs team that failed to capitalise on the rising anger surrounding the home side. As when these clubs met in north London last season, VAR played an important part, ruling out goals from Moises Caicedo and Pape Sarr after halftime, but Chelsea deserved the points as their Champions League campaign resumed. They had started with significantly more zest than in previous lackluster performances. Nicolas Jackson's return to the team was denied one-on-one by goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario in the first minute, followed by Micky van de Ven's errant clearance ricocheting off him and against the post, before Malo Gusto rifled Marc Cucurella...

Vitor Roque is close to leaving Barcelona after receiving a 50% offer from Serie A.

On Tuesday, a big update on the status of transfer-linked Barcelona player Vitor Roque became public. This comes as reports suggest that the Brazilian international could soon move to Italy.

It is common known that headliner Roque's future remains uncertain ahead of the upcoming campaign. After failing to persuade ex-manager Xavi of his abilities during his first six months at the club, it is unknown how the Brazilian is faring in his efforts to achieve similar results under Hansi Flick's supervision. Those of a Blaugrana persuasion who want Roque to stay put for the upcoming campaign will undoubtedly be concerned to hear the latest word on the matter from the Italian media.

According to a source from Il Messaggero, as published by Diario Sport, Lazio is aggressively seeking to bring Roque to Rome for the 2024/25 season. As for the player himself, he was skeptical by a recent offer for his services from Saudi Arabia. After seeing their original proposal for a loan with option to buy rejected by Barcelona, Lazio has returned to the table, with the following strategy:

'They would be willing to pay roughly 20 million euros for fifty percent of the striker's economic rights, believing that he can perform well and that a sale in the future would benefit both Lazio and Barcelona.' It remains to be seen whether the Camp Nou brass are willing to move forward under such conditions.

Thierry Henry was denied a joyful homecoming as France was defeated by gold medal winners Spain.

Exactly 36 years after Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Lawrie Sanchez, and others ripped up the rulebook to propel Bobby Gould's Wimbledon to a storied FA Cup victory, Thierry Henry's France fell agonisingly short of capturing an emotional Olympic gold medal in front of a sold-out Parc des Princes in Paris. Henry, who gave his young French team the nickname the 'Crazy Ones' due to their fun-loving nature, won nearly everything as a player, and despite the stars appearing to align for a historic gold medal on home turf, the Arsenal legend was overshadowed by Santi Denia's slick Spaniards in a dramatic 5-3 extra-time defeat. Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano was their unexpected late nemesis, dunking French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes with 100 minutes on the clock to startle a stunned capacity crowd. And he delivered a virtual carbon copy of that finish with the game's final kick, charging in on goal as the French flung bodies forward to slot past Restes and cruelly ...
