One African is head-to-head with Mbappe and Yamal

When you look at La Liga goascorers list, one name stands out – Raphinha. The Brazilian forward is in top form at the start of the season with 12 goals, and way behind are also familiar faces – Kylian Mbappe and Lamine Yamal with seven apiece. Even if we don’t count the three goals he scored from penalty kicks, the Brazilian still has nine goals. So, the order is somewhat expected, as three best players in La Liga at the moment are on the top of the list. But somehow, there is a fourth one out there, right with Mbappe and Yamal, and he is an African on a loan from France…##TWITTER_

‘Who does Messi think he is!?’

Barcelona created Lionel Messi. He became a giant of world football in their shirt, one of the greatest players of all time, and cemented that status by winning the World Cup with Argentina. But Barcelona also drove Messi away. His salary — and it remains to be seen whether that was the only reason — did not fit into Joan Laporta’s calculations. Since then, the Argentine has visited Camp Nou only once, perhaps, over all these years, and even then, more or less as a tourist. And yet, some strange voices are now being heard in Barcelona. Former club president Joan Gaspart believes that Messi owes the club something. He is also angry that the Argentine refuses to commit to a date for the farewell match Barcelona want to organise for him.##LINKED_NEWS_58985##For Gaspart, there is absolutely no doubt that the match will take place and that it must happen, regardless of what Messi thinks about it…“Leo is undoubtedly the best footballer in the world, a great player.
