Erling Haaland was the first to score, then Foden equalized the matter and Julián Alvarez gave the finishing blow. What a great comeback! Barcelona were also the first to concede a goal during the battle against Porto — Pepe did not leave Iñaki Peña any chance for a save. Two minutes later, Cancelo evened the odds, making it 1:1. After the break, in the 57th minute, Felix brought the Catalans three points and a long-awaited place in the knockout stages. Alright, we’re moving on to the main news of the release! Battle for Moscardo Fabrizio Romano Reliability: 5 Seems like everyone wants to see the 18-year-old Corinthians central midfielder Gabriel Moscardo in their club’s roster! According to Ekrem Konur, Chelsea have finally decided that they are going to recruit the teenager in January, but it turns out he was already claimed by Real Madrid and Barcelona for quite a while. As Fabrizio Romano writes, PSG have also joined the race for one of Brazil's most promising talents. Corinthians are reportedly wanting to cash in a record 21 million euros + add-ons from his move and Chelsea are willing to pay the said amount. Wirtz makes his choice! Florian Plettenberg Reliability: 4 The battle for Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz is ongoing, but the young midfielder has already made his choice. As of this moment, Wirtz is leaning towards a transfer to Bayern Munich, who see him as a replacement for either Thomas Muller or Jamal Musiala. However, the Bavarians are yet to decide when exactly they will pursue Wirtz. It could be the summer of 2024 or the summer of 2025. A transfer abroad is not yet a priority for Wirtz, despite huge interest shown by Liverpool, Barcelona and Manchester City. This season, the 20-year-old midfielder has already landed 6 goals and provided 16 assists in 16 appearances in all competitions. Brazil ‘has legal guarantees’ for Ancelotti Globo Reliability: 4.5 Real Madrid are hoping to keep Carlo Ancelotti in the club for the next two seasons, while the Italian remains silent about his future. Nevertheless, the Brazilian Football Federation assures that Ancelotti should take over the role of a national team coach in the summer of 2024, which has already been officially announced. They intend to sue if Ancelotti signs a new contract with Real Madrid. Brazil is currently managed by Fernando Diniz, under whom they lost the last three 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Jose Mourinho is said to be another candidate for the position. Guys, we highly recommend you to check out videos from our other projects!
