  Cristiano Ronaldo took the headlines with his winner as Manchester United beat Atalanta 3-2 after a dramatic comeback in the UEFA Champions League.  Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who enjoyed many battles with Sir Alex Ferguson down the years, assessed our performance against the Serie A side for beIN Sports. The talismanic Portuguese star headed home nine minutes from time – give the Reds a 3-2 victory after earlier goals from Marcus Rashford and Harry Maguire to make a comeback possible. Rashford was a starter for the first time since his recovery from shoulder surgery and it was clear to see his impact throughout the match as United create countless chances on the night. The midfield combination of Scott McTominay and Fred was a source of frustration again for Paul Scholes, who gave his verdict to BT Sport during the match, but Wenger believes the Brazilian ace gave United a platform to spark up the important win.

Messi is the bookies favourite to pick up the annual award but Jorginho has had quite the year too, picking up winners medals for both and European Championships.

The Blues' playmaker was superb for club and country in their respective runs, although Cassano says now-Paris Saint-Germain star Messi should "always" claim the accolade.

The Ballon d'Or has been given to Messi six times already and the Argentine is the current holder of the award, which has not been handed out since 2019

Cassano was speaking to fellow former Italian striker Christian Vieri on his twish and asked him: "Remember when I said any journalist who voted for Jorginho as Ballon d’Or should have his licence taken away?

Kepa hands Chelsea UEFA Super Cup trophy

  Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel made a bold call and Kepa Arrizabalaga made the big saves.

"We needed to do what's best for the team. ... The...
