The team's star, Erling Haaland, was among the first to speak out.

Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo has been handed an eight-point driving penalty and a financial fine after being caught driving his luxury £160,000 supercar without a valid licence or insurance near the club's training ground.  The incident places Caicedo just four points away from a potential ban, adding off-field drama to his current struggles with injury in the ongoing season. Legal trouble for Caicedo According to the Daily Mail,  Caicedo appeared at Crawley magistrates' court this week, where he was fined £1,444 and given an eight-point penalty.

Cristiano Ronaldo has accused Portugal coach Jorge Jesus of twice breaking his word, saying a failed agreement to publicly explain his omission against Norway drove him out of the camp but insisting he remained available after any punishment. In a lengthy statement, the 41-year-old gave his account of the dispute that prompted his departure from Copenhagen before Portugal's Nations League match versus Denmark last week.

Portugal's captain and all-time leading scorer said a subsequent meeting with Jesus, attended by his club side Al Nassr's sporting d...
