Man City match-winner Rodri named Champions League player of the year

NEOWIZ’s Lies of P has seen significant success since its launch last year, crossing over seven million players as of March 2024. It’s no secret that a sequel is in development (seemingly on Unreal Engine 5, per a job listing), but the base game is due to receive DLC first.

Director Jiwon Choi didn’t provide an ETA for the same, but he did share some new artwork in a recent Director’s Letter, showcasing the protagonist and a lighthouse off in the distance. There’s also a new track, “Lisrim,” an emotional piece with a violin and accordion as the centerpieces. Both media are likely from the upcoming DLC, though Choi didn’t confirm as such.

He did say that the team is aiming “to do better than what we did…

Talksport understands that N’Golo Kante is considering a summer switch to Paris Saint Germain.

The French champions are lining up a big money move for the World Cup winner, who only penned a new deal at Chelsea last September.

However, PSG are likely to offer a lucrative deal which could be too big to ignore as they look to go further in the Champions League having fallen at the last sixteen stage this season.

Kante, who turned twenty-eight in March moved to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2016, winning the Premier League in his first season with the club having been part of the Leicester side that triumphed in the previous campaign.

He was also named the PFA Player of the Year at the end of the 2016/17 campaign and lifted the World Cup in Russia …

Diego Costa thanked Chelsea for three remarkable and unforgettable years as he bid farewell to the Premier League champions.

Costa, 28, will return to Atletico Madrid in January after his move from Chelsea was finalised on Tuesday.

The Spain striker leaves Chelsea in a deal worth a reported €60million after three campaigns, two of which ended with the league title.

Costa thanked the club on Instagram after his move to Atletico was finalised, saying he would never forget his time at Stamford Bridge.

Some cycles begin while others end, he wrote.

My cycle at Chelsea began three years ago – three remarkable years in all aspects – and I will never forget it. Two championship titles, a Community Shield, 120 matches, 59 goals and 24 assists later…

Frank Lampard has warned that the Premier League is undermining its own product by asking Chelsea to travel to Newcastle United for an early Saturday kick-off straight after the international break.

The Chelsea boss is amazed league chiefs expect his players to return from duty with their countries, some flying in from different continents, and then face another sapping journey before their feet have barely touched the ground.

Chelsea have a curiously poor recent record at Newcastle, having lost on five of their past seven visits to St James Park (W1 D1), and their hopes of improving on that have not been helped by the timing of this weekend s game.

A 12:30 GMT start on Saturday is distinctly unhelpful, Lampard believes, at a time when he feels the Premier League…

Rhian Brewster marked his return to action after 14 months on the sidelines with two goals for Liverpool Under-23s on Friday.

The 18-year-old had not played any football since suffering a serious ankle injury in January 2018.

He was given 45 minutes in a behind-closed-doors friendly against American college side Northwestern University and made an immediate impact.

He scored a stunning first after just six minutes, whipping into the top corner from outside the penalty area, before adding a second from close range soon after.

Brewster has progressed through Liverpool s academy ranks and came to prominence in 2017 when he starred in England s triumphant Under-17 World Cup campaign in India, finishing as top scorer at the tournament with eight goals.

Lee Jae-sung and Son Heung-min found the target as South Korea defeated Myanmar 2-0 to make a winning start to 2018 World Cup qualifying.

South Korea were beaten 2-1 by Australia in the final of the Asian Cup this year, and are bidding to bounce back by reaching their ninth consecutive World Cup in Russia in three years time.

Lee struck a late winner in a 1-0 friendly victory over New Zealand back in March, and the Jeonbuk Motors man had a telling impact once again here with a free header from a corner in the first half.

He nodded home after Myanmar goalkeeper Van Lal Hruai had failed to collect Son s delivery from the left-hand side.

Midway through the second half, Son benefitted directly from more poor goalkeeping as his well-struck free-kick from …

Julian Nagelsmann claimed his first piece of silverware at Bayern Munich as Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Muller secured a 3-1 win over Borussia Dortmund in the DFL-Supercup.

In a frantic encounter between the Bundesliga champions and DFB-Pokal winners at Signal Iduna Park, it was Bayern who defended their crown in the third straight Supercup meeting between the Klassiker rivals.

Lewandowski broke Gerd Muller s long-standing Bundesliga record of 40 goals in a single season with the final kick of 2020-21, and he fittingly opened the scoring two days after the Bayern great s passing.

Muller put Bayern in complete control and, though Marco Reus stunner gave Dortmund hope, Lewandowski capitalised on Manuel Akanji s error to seal victory.

Dortmund were the…
