Riccardo Trevisani has criticized Inter Milan for not pursuing goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma more aggressively during the summer transfer window, stating that the club should have made his signing a top priority.

Inter Milan had an active summer, signing five new players and severing ties with several fringe stars. The new signings were costly, with the club spending approximately €85 million on players including Ange-Yoan Bonny, Luis Henrique, Andy Diouf, and Petar Sucic. Additionally, Manuel Akanji joined on loan from Manchester City with an option to buy.

Despite these signings, Inter spent much of the summer pursuing Ademola Lookman, but eventually gave up in early August due to Atalanta's firm stance. They then shifted focus to Roma's Manu Kone, but Roma showed no interest in selling.

Donnarumma emerged as a market opportunity midway through the summer after falling out of favor at Paris Saint-Germain, with his agent actively seeking a new club. However, Inter only monitored the situation from a distance, and the goalkeeper ultimately joined Manchester City at the end of the transfer window.

Meanwhile, current Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer is on the brink of losing his starting position, with Josep Martinez expected to take over.

Harry Kane has made an exceptional start to the 2025/26 Bundesliga season with Bayern Munich, scoring five goals and providing three assists in the first three matches. His performance highlights both his finishing ability and creative contributions to the team.

Kane attributes his success to the tactical style employed by coach Vincent Kompany, noting that the team's pressing and playing approach provides him with space, opportunities to receive the ball, and supporting runs from teammates. He emphasized this after Bayern's 5-0 victory over Hamburger SV.

Despite Kane's impressive form, it is noted that Bayern's opponents in these initial games may not have been of the highest quality. The article raises the question of whether he can maintain this level against top European teams as the season progresses.

Arsenal's Women's Super League team has undergone a significant transformation under new head coach Renee Slegers, displaying a more intentional, resolute, and calculated style of play compared to the combustible nature of the Jonas Eidevall era. The team has shown remarkable resilience, coming from behind in both opening games to secure comfortable victories while scoring nine goals via seven different players.

Statistically, Arsenal under Slegers has been dominant, recording league highs in shots (20) and touches in the opposition box (66) in one game, and maintaining an expected goals (xG) performance nearly double that of any other team, including champions Chelsea. The squad's depth has emerged as a key strength, with six goal contributions already coming from substitutes (3 goals, 3 assists).

Slegers' tactical bravery has been evident in her lineup decisions, including starting teenage defender Katie Reid (the league's most progressive passer) in place of injured star Leah Williamson, and giving £1m-rated Olivia Smith her debut in front of a home crowd. The team has also shown improved late-game performance, scoring four times in the final 10 minutes of matches after managing only nine such goals throughout the entire previous season.

The Phoenix Mercury's jersey number 24 has been worn by nine players since 1997, beginning with Molly Tuter, who had a brief stint with the team before being replaced. Mikiko Hagiwara acquired the number via trade from the Sacramento Monarchs in July 1997 and appeared in 22 games over two seasons before being waived in 1998.

Clarissa Davis-Wrightsil wore number 24 after being drafted by the Mercury in 1999, averaging 9.3 points and 2.7 rebounds in 14 games. Edwina Brown held the number in 2003, contributing 3.5 points per game across 34 appearances. Lisa Harrison, who initially wore number 3, returned in 2005 to adopt number 24, followed by Jennifer Derevjanik in 2007–2008.

DeWanna Bonner, drafted in 2009, became one of the most significant players to wear number 24, helping secure championships in 2009 and 2014 during her tenure from 2009 to 2019. Although she now wears a different number, she remains with the team. Currently, rookie Kathryn Westbeld holds the number and has performed well as a reserve and occasional starter in her debut season.

The Phoenix Mercury have had several players over the years, and some of them have worn No. 24.

Patrick Mahomes is rapidly ascending various NFL career passing lists, already ranking in the top 50 for passing yards and top 30 for passing touchdowns, while leading nearly all achievement categories for players under age 30.

The connection between Mahomes and Hall of Famer Troy Aikman traces back to 2019 when a Chiefs radio host highlighted that Mahomes had achieved 36% of Aikman's career touchdowns in just 8% of the games. This statistic, shared enthusiastically, was not intended as criticism but rather to emphasize Mahomes' extraordinary early-career performance.

Aikman responded to the comparison on social media by quipping, "Talk to me when he has 33% of my Super Bowl titles," referencing his three championships with the Dallas Cowboys. This exchange, though initially light-hearted, escalated slightly after being publicized.

Mahomes ultimately met Aikman's challenge by winning Super Bowl LIV with the Chiefs just months later. He further surpassed Aikman's Super Bowl total by winning two additional titles (LVII and LVIII), effectively completing 100% of Aikman's championship achievements.

Mahomes is poised to overtake Aikman in career passing yards during an upcoming game against the Giants, needing only 146 yards to move into 45th place all-time. Though the milestone may not be formally acknowledged during the game, it adds a humorous footnote to their years-long statistical rivalry.

Aikman, who will not be commentating the game, might simply advise Mahomes to "just beat the Giants," underscoring the blend of competitiveness and jest that has characterized their indirect exchange.

Patrick Mahomes continues to climb the rankings in every NFL career passing list. He already ranks in the top 50 in passing yards, top 30 in passing touchdowns,

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson played a pivotal role in the team's 22-6 victory over the Minnesota Vikings, forming a powerful rushing duo with Tyler Allgeier that collectively gained 218 yards on 38 attempts.

Robinson was particularly dominant, carrying the ball 22 times for 143 yards and proving nearly unstoppable in the hostile road environment, which eased the pressure on quarterback Michael Penix Jr.

The Falcons found significant success using outside zone plays, allowing Robinson to read defensive lanes and evade tacklers effectively—a major improvement from his limited involvement in Week 1, where he received only 12 carries.

Offensive versatility, including 11 personnel packages and shifts between shotgun and pistol formations, enabled varied attack strategies, with Robinson frequently exploiting the B-gap and off-tackle lanes while Allgeier powered through the A-gap.

Head coach Raheem Morris emphasized a run-heavy approach to maintain offensive momentum, believing that sustained success on the ground will eventually create opportunities for the passing game as the season progresses.

In Week 2, Bijan Robinson showed us why he should be the focal point for the Falcons offense.

Liverpool is commencing their 2025/26 Champions League journey with a home match against Atlético Madrid at Anfield, marking the first European night of the season for the team.

Under manager Arne Slot, Liverpool has demonstrated strong championship form in the Premier League, achieving four consecutive wins, each secured with a late winning goal. Slot is navigating challenges such as integrating new signings and managing injuries while making tactical adjustments to enhance the team's on-field performance.

Key players are emphasized as vital for Liverpool's prospects in the Champions League. A Dutch defensive midfielder, who has returned from suspension and is fully fit, brings stability to the defense and excels in both defensive interventions and initiating attacks, making him crucial for the open nature of European matches against top teams like Real Madrid and Inter Milan.

Florian Wirtz, a £100 million German attacking signing, is gradually increasing his influence on the pitch. While he has not yet recorded significant goals or assists, his creativity in chance-making could thrive in the end-to-end style of European games, and he plays a key role in integrating new teammates such as Alexander Isak.

Goalkeeper Alisson Becker, though sometimes overlooked, remains a world-class shot-stopper with exceptional ball-playing skills that support Liverpool's build-up from the back. His contributions are expected to be essential throughout the Champions League campaign.

The Reds have starpower all over the pitch, but these four players will be vital to any success they hope to have in Europe this season.
