Although spirited, the newly promoted Cottagers were eventually expected to throw in the towel. Things, however, did not go according to the script that afternoon, with Aleksander Mitrovic putting in an unbelievable shift to help his team to a 2-2 draw.

He first found the back of the net in the 32nd minute, rising above Alexander-Arnold to meet Kenny Tete’s cross and plant his header past Alisson. Nunez equalized for the Reds in the 64th minute, but Mitrovic pulled the Cottagers ahead once again just eight minutes later.

His declaration of intent shone through in PSG’ Ligue 1 opener against Clermont Foot on Saturday (August 6). The Brazilian pitched in with a goal and three assists in a commanding 5-0 win for the French champions away from home.

#2 Erling Haaland - Manchester City
West Ham United v Manchester City - Premier League Premier League champions Manchester City splurged €60 million to trigger Erling Haaland’s buyout clause at Borussia Dortmund and bring him to the Etihad Stadium in July. Haaland scored within 12 minutes of his pre-season debut against Bayern Munich, but failed to make a similar impact in the FA Community Shield as City succumbed to 3-1 at the hands of Liverpool. However, on Sunday (August 7), the Norwegian netted a brace against West Ham United in his Premier League debut.

#1 Lionel Messi - Paris Saint-Germain
Paris Saint-Germain v Gamba Osaka - Preseason Friendly After spending his entire professional career at Barcelona, Messi joined Paris Saint-Germain as a free agent at the start of the 2020-21 season.

He managed only 11 goals and 15 assists in 34 matches across competitions. Now used to his new surroundings and with a proper pre-season under his belt, Messi is gearing up to enjoy a considerably better campaign. The 35-year-old’s intentions were for all to see in PSG’s Ligue 1 opener against Clermont Foot.

The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner scored a brace and provided an assist in an emphatic 5-0 win away from home. In the ninth minute, Messi cheekily flicked the ball on to Neymar’s path, and the Brazilian took care of the rest to break the deadlock. ESPN FC@ESPNFCMessi couldn't believe he scored a bicycle kick 668562607Messi couldn't believe he scored a bicycle kick https://t.co/8LNVi6Sil1 Messi’s brace came in the final 10 minutes of the match, with him netting in the 80th and 86th minutes.

His first was a simple tap-in after Neymar did brilliantly to pierce the Clermont Foot defense. His second, on the other hand, was one for the highlight reel. Messi chested down Leandro Paredes’ lobbed pass inside the box and executed a brilliant overhead kick to beat keeper Mory Diaw.
