Ex Gunner causes chaos after Fener’s win over Lyon

The second leg of the Champions League play-off between Lyon and Fenerbahçe was everything you would expect from such a fixture, at least over the 90 minutes. There was excitement, a fierce battle, and goals – both those that counted and those that were ruled out. When all was said and done, the equation was clear: the Turkish side defeated Lyon 2:1 in France and booked their place in the elite competition for the first time in 18 years. However, what happened immediately after the final whistle will certainly cast a shadow over Fenerbahce’s Champions League qualification. After the referee signalled the end of the match, the Fenerbahçe players and coaching staff celebrated on the pitch at the Olympique Stadium. Everything looked perfectly normal for a team celebrating qualification – but only until the visitors began making their way towards the tunnel.😮 Mattéo Guendouzi a adressé un message explicite aux supporters de l’OL durant son échauffement avec Fenerbahçe… https://t.co/QzkxE..

Xabi Alonso: Goalkeeper, now! – Aston Villa: Here, take Emi

Xabi Alonso joined Chelsea just about two months ago, and many things are undoubtedly still vague to him. However, after his Premier League debut in the Blues’ dugout against Fulham last Monday, one fact must be crystal clear to him – he needs a new goalkeeper.Chelsea narrowly beat the city rivals 3-2, with both Cottagers goals coming as a result of Robert Sanchez’s poor reactions. With Maxence Lacroix, Alonso’s team gained stability at the back. Now, they need a strong figure between the posts who exudes confidence.Chelsea’s “bomb squad” is no more: Last cast-off leaves Stamford BridgeSanchez apparently isn’t the right option, nor is his understudy Mike Penders.
