Liverpool were beaten 2-1 by PSG in their penultimate Champions League game to leave their hopes of reaching the knockout stages in the balance.  It took 13 minutes for PSG to take the lead at the Parc des Princes as Juan Bernat swept home at the near post before Neymar (37) slotted home after Edinson Cavani's flick was saved by Alisson. James Milner (45+1) pulled a goal back for Liverpool just before the break after the visitors were given a penalty when Angel Di Maria fouled Sadio Mane in the area. But neither side could find another goal in the second half and Group C will go down to the final matchday in two weeks' time, with Liverpool needing to beat Napoli 1-0 or by two clear goals to make it into the knockout rounds.

The Gunners have less than a week to make further additions to their squad ahead of deadline day on Thursday but clubs across Europe have until the end of August to continue their transfer business. Arsenal have signed five players during Emery’s first summer in charge in north London with Lucas Torreira, Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Stephan Lichsteiner, Bernd Leno and Matteo Guendouzi all joining the club. Speaking after his side’s pre-season friendly victory over Lazio on Saturday, Emery insisted his focus is now on his side’s Premier League opener against Manchester City rather than further recruitment.

It was meant to be an afternoon where  Maurizio Sarri  could show that Chelsea had significantly progressed from the Antonio Conte side which was embarrassed at  Manchester City  in March, but it was not to be. Instead it was same-old City and same-old stars as  Sergio Aguero  bagged his 200th and 201st goals for the club while Chelsea dearly missed N’Golo Kante in midfield and, following an impressive pre-season, new arrival Jorginho struggled to make his mark. The champions picked up where they left off last season, ferociously pressing Sarri’s side with chances falling to both new signing Riyad Mahrez and Leroy Sane in the opening minutes. The Blues were under the cosh from the off, looking to play out from the back with the tireless Jorginho the lynchpin, but City kept on coming.

PREMIER LEAGUE Mahrez cleared to resume training after knock 30 July 2018  |  14:14 Manchester City forward Riyad Mahrez has been cleared to return to training this week following an ankle knock sustained in Saturday's 3-2 win over Bayern Munich in the United States. Mahrez, who joined the Premier League champions on a five-year contract earlier this month, was substituted after a tough tackle by Bayern defender Chris Richards in the first half of their final pre-season clash. However, City allayed fears that the Algerian international, who returned to Manchester with his foot in a protective boot, would miss the start of the new season. City take on FA Cup winners Chelsea for the Community Shield on Sunday. "A scan today has revealed no significant damage, and he (Mahrez) could be available for selection for this weekend's Community Shield against Chelsea," City said on their website. Pep Guardiola's team then take on Arsenal in their

2018 FIFA WORLD CUP RUSSIA™ Neymar blames 'brattish' behaviour on his inner child 30 July 2018  |  12:42 Neymar Jr © Getty Images Neymar has tackled critics who derided his play-acting at the World Cup, admitting he "overreacts" and blaming his "brat" like behaviour on his inner child. The Brazilian superstar was widely lambasted in Russia for his theatrical reactions to challenges which often left the world's most expensive footballer wincing and rolling on the ground. "Boot studs on the shins, kick in the spine, stomp on the foot, you may think I overreact, and sometimes I do, but for real? I suffer on the pitch, but you have no idea what I go through outside of it," he said in comments on a television commercial for a razor blade. The Paris Saint-Germain forward, speaking in Portuguese with English subtitles, continued "You may all think I've fallen too much, but the reality is I did not fall, I crumbled.&q
