Another night of Nations League action has come and gone and arguably the most electric game of the evening took place in Rotterdam. Wales travelled to the Netherlands to take on the 2014 World Cup finalists in a rematch of a clash that went down just a matter of days ago.
It was a fascinating back and forth affair between two incredibly exciting sides and in the end, it was the Dutch who came away with a dramatic 3-2 win.
Depay = the man
Memphis Depay now has 42 international goals to his name after scoring the late winner here, putting him just eight behind the all-time leader Robin van Persie. That s the kind of legacy he ll want to leave behind and with Louis van Gaal back at the helm, he seems to be getting the best out of himself which is great considering he s j…

For so long, Juventus dominated Serie A and Milan.
Juve won nine successive Scudetti before being dethroned by Inter last season. Gianluigi Buffon was involved in eight of them.
But it s a period of change in Turin, where Wojciech Szczesny is well and truly under the microscope after an error-riddled start to the 2021-22 season.
As Juve struggle defensively, form could hardly be more contrasting heading into Sunday s blockbuster showdown in the northwest of Italy.
Milan have continued to be a solid defensive outfit, winning their opening three league fixtures, and the resurgent Rossoneri could strike an early dagger to the heart of the Old Lady.

Olsen has been in charge of the the national team for 16 years, leading them to the World Cup last 16 in 2002 and the quarter-finals of Euro 2004.

Competition: Euro 2016 qualifier
Market: Belgium to win against Wales
Odds:
Belgium travel to face Wales in Friday’s Euro 2016 qualifier, with the Red Devils in fantastic form ahead of the crucial clash against their fellow automatic qualifying hopefuls. The visitors have won three games on the bounce, the most recent of which saw them beat France in a seven-goal thriller.
Four wins and two draws from their six games in all competitions see Belgium as one of the most in-form nations in Europe, but Wales did force a draw against them in an earlier meeting. Friday’s clash could be a different story, however, with how impressive the high-flyers have been again any opposition of late.
Wales are no slouches themselves. Chris Coleman’s side have be…
Gerard Pique has reiterated his desire to see out the remainder of his career at Barcelona, but suggested he will consider retiring early if he is no longer a regular starter.
The ex-Spain international is into his 14th season at Camp Nou since returning to the club from Manchester United in 2008 and remains a key presence at the back.
Pique turns 35 in February but is confident in his ability to keep going, despite competition from Ronald Araujo, Eric Garcia, Clement Lenglet and Samuel Umtiti.
I ve never had competition like that, but it is not a bad thing, he told El Pais. As a young man you learn at what level you can compete.
When I was 19 and on loan at Real Zaragoza I discovered that I could perform in LaLiga against the greats.
At 34 you…
Jurgen Klopp labelled Liverpool s 4-1 win at city rivals Everton as their best performance at Goodison Park in recent years after the Reds earned Merseyside bragging rights.
Jordan Henderson opened the scoring before assisting Mohamed Salah s opener as he became the first Liverpool captain since 2005 to lay on an assist and get on the scoresheet in a Premier League game at Everton s ground.
Salah, who has been directly involved in at least one goal in each of his last 12 top-flight fixtures, then added a second as he became the first Red to register a brace away in the Merseyside derby since September 2008.
Diogo Jota struck in the second half to cap off another productive outing, with Demarai Gray s first-half strike that initially halved the deficit proving ir…
