In considering how to lift Son to his former heights, I realized that saving Spurs doesn’t just mean reviving one man. It means elevating the entire team from the ground up.

An oligarch sets his sights on a new Premier League team every week, and the threat of a Super League looms large over Europe. In the concrete jungle of Berlin, one team is defying the odds.

Liverpool fans chant “You Never Walk Alone,” but this time they’d rather walk alone — without their current club owner Fenway Sports Group.

Late goals, epic blowouts and iconic comebacks all shook Lisbon as a pair of French teams and a pair of German teams made the last four.

Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Manchester City or Lyon will challenge Paris Saint-Germain, Atalanta, RB Leipzig or Atlético Madrid for a Champions League title.

Europe’s most prestigious football competition is officially underway, and the Champions League title is still within all 32 group stage clubs’ grasps.

For now, however, we can only watch and see what Dortmund’s transfer-market intelligence brings this season. Jadon Sancho is just one member of a team that must be enjoyed in the present because, in just a few years, Sancho may very well be gone — for a profit.

It would be easy to question Neymar’s effort and a disappointing second half from the Parisian side. Many have already — Neymar recorded a lone assist on Kylian Mbappé’s equalizer and was largely contained by Liverpool in the second half.

I made two observations about Ronaldo that day: 1) Madrid treats him like he’s its adopted Spanish son, and 2) He carries himself like he knows he’s the best player in the world.
