They are paying the consequences of the lack of leaders, players with good technique and confidence in the youngsters. In Italy, Lamine Yamal and Musiala would probably play in Serie B to gain experience. And that can't be.

I'm very happy. We knew how important these three points were, especially as this match came after the international break. It's difficult to manage because we had a lot of players involved, most of them had travelled and played matches. It was the moment to win these three points.

The table is so tight that the title race and the fight to survive relegation looks like going to the wire, with teams battling for Europe still also looking over their shoulder at the relegation zone.

"I'd rather not say anything about that play. Let's not talk about the play, it's done, we lost 2-1, nothing we say will change that, let's not waste time."

Italy's elimination from the World Cup playoffs, sealed in a penalty shootout against Bosnia and Herzegovina, marks a watershed moment in European football, as they become the first former World Cup winners to miss three consecutive tournaments.

Milan's upcoming match against Napoli is crucial for their Scudetto and Champions League aspirations. Allegri must ensure his XI can secure a win under pressure.

Barcelona Femení emerged from the courageous initiative of 18-year-old Immaculada 'Imma' Cabecerán in 1970, who convinced the then Barça president to establish a women's team despite the ban on women's football in Spain at the time.

Modric and Lobotka are not just the genius of their team, but they are also more than willing to do the dirty work or pop up with a goal.

Gennaro Gattuso put everything into trying to secure World Cup qualification, but was unable to. He signed a one-year contract with the option for the following two years if they qualified for the tournament this summer, but since they did not he will depart.

After the game, Ancelotti had an embrace with Modric who he knows well from his two spells at Real Madrid. During it, he was spotted asking the midfielder: "You don't have a Brazilian grandfather, do you?" This was a clear reference to the enormous qualities of the Croatian phenomenon, who at 41 would still be useful in any midfield, even that of Brazil.

We waited until the last minute for Milan to make an offer for a renewal, but it never arrived. At that point my agent arrived and told me that there was an offer from Barcelona and that Juventus was also interested.
