i'm born in brussels, my dad was a refugee coming from congo to belgium. what were my chances of ever setting a foot, evenin chances of ever setting a foot, even in the premier league, winning something as a player, playing for the national scene and so long. if you take the odds of that happening for me, 0.00 what percent? and now i am a coach. the question is do you stop believing in yourself because of what say, stop believing in what you can achieve because there is a very small chance that mentality is to continue to go and in the end if you fail, you fail, and if you can succeed, you succeed but you become better every single time. the question is irrelevant in terms of the direction of the fact that online you could always find stuff so i really don't take it personally. never. but it is an interesting topic

in terms of what is it people are supposed to do, give up? stop because of what others think? and in the world we live in i think you know, let's encourage people to exceed and break barriers. kylian mbappe scored his first champions league goalfor holders real madrid in a 3—1 win over stuttgart at the bernabeu. liverpool secured a 3—1 victory at ac milan on their champions league return to firmly bounce back from saturday's shock defeat by nottingham forest in the premier league. dominik szoboszlai got the third on a memorable night for birthday boy arne slot. normally you celebrate your birthday with your friends and family but this was a good alternative to play your first champions league game against a special club for liverpool but also a special club for dutch people in a nice venue and to win in the way we did after going 1—0 down after five

minutes, i think it was very good to see how they took the games in their hands and in the end score three goals. juventus started their campaign with a comfortable victory over dutch side psv eindhoven — 3—1 it finished. juventus travel to germany next to take on rb leipzig. sporting opened with a win as well against the french side lille who had england international angel gomes sent off for a second yellow card and lost by 2 goals to nil. and — what a way for aston villa to mark their return to european football's top club competition after a iii—year absence. 3—0 they beat swiss champions young boys. with games against the likes of bayern munich to come in the tournament's new—look league phase, that could prove to be a crucial three points and unai emery is pleased at how his side grew into the game. we were adapting at the beginning of the match as well to the pitch was not easy for the players.

the control is a little bit different when you are playing a normal pitch and we were losing some balls, we were conceding then to get with long balls. second action, they were attacking the left side more than the right side and we conceded 2 or 3 faults, but we defended well and emiliano was doing his work saving some options as well and obviously we were feeling better on the pitch. we were progressively getting there box creating some chances and we scored in set pieces and after it we were feeling confident. manchester city's star midfielder rodri says players could go on strike over the number of matches they're being made to play in a season. he was speaking at news conference ahead of city's champions league opener against inter milan on wednesday. the competition has been expanded with more games added in a new format, but he says the players weren't consulted and could refuse to take part. i think we're close to that. i mean, because it's easy to understand. i mean, if we're asking

something and i think it's something general, i think you ask any player, he will say the same. it's not like the opinion of rodri or whatever. no, i think it's a general opinion of the players. between a0 and 50 is the amount of games in which a player can perform in the highest level. after that, everything comes. you drop because it's impossible to sustain the physical level. manchester united got their biggest victory under erik ten hag to cruise into the english league cup last—16 at the expense of 3rd tier barnsley. marcus rashford, alejandro garnacho and christian eriksen all scored twice, while brazilian winger antony converted a first—half spot—kick in what turned into a rout. it was united's biggest win since they hammered southampton 9—nil in february 2021 when the stands were still empty due to covid. elsewhere championship side preston north end stunned premier league fulham winning 16—15 on penalties. that's the longest shoot—out in league cup history. and in a battle of the premier league's two sides yet to pick

for any, any money. and let's face it, if we don't run the games, then no one's running the games. so in terms of reputational damage, it's better that glasgow has stepped up to the plate and said, look, we have all the facilities here, we have the expertise here. we've been running european championships, uci world cycling championships, world indoor athletics we have all the base structure. they are ready to go so we can do this as long as it's a slimmed down games. anthonyjoshua takes on ibf belt holder daniel dubois at a sold out wembley stadium on saturday. joshua's had to rebuild and work his way back to being a mandatory challenger, having broken down in tears after losing a second consecutive fight to 0leksandr usyk two years ago. he's been speaking to our reporter kal sajad. it's gone quick. it's funny because a lot of pain i've been through, the training obviously is quite challenging — i seem to forget it. so it's gone quick, but itjust shows how ijust got to make the most of the moment

because i seem to forget about it. so i've worked hard, i'm due for a lot of pain, and i've worked hard to get better. so hopefully those experiences don't happen again, because as you saw that night, i don't like losing. how long did it take for you to get that belief yourself? or did you always have it? i've always had it, i'm gifted with an ability to fight and compete. in boxing, you're able to read certain tendencies, read your opponent — so i've always had an eye for that, but there's a supreme level you can take it too, and it's happened over the last maybe ten months, eight months, i've really honed in on those skills. what about fight week? i saw you for sharing a hug with someone in london... you know, i respect people that have come out and taken their time to come and see you, and stuff like that. because i've been on that side of the fence before —

i've got idols and people i look up to come and stuff like that. i'll treat somebody how i want to be treated, you know what i mean? i try to give them some time. so yeah, it's good to get out of the cage and mingle with people for a little bit, people that have come to support — it goes a long way, i think. you mentioned the word respect — you felt that daniel disrespected you succulent not disrespect, butjust basically saying, "stay in your lane," isn't it? what about the doors that you've open for other fighters in the country, how important is it that the respective? you've gotta earn respect. all that stuff, to a fighter, they don't respect you for that, they want to take that from you. they don't respect that, they want to take it — fighters. i'm ready to earn my respect. he's a good fighter, brilliant fighter, everyone speaks highly of him. so i'm going to go out there and prove how good i am.
