GLOBAL FOOTBALL INTELLIGENCE

ANSU FATI

A year after becoming the youngest

goalscorer in Barcelona’s history, the

17-year-old winger did the same for Spain.

Fati made his international debut in a1-

draw with Germany, then three days later

scored against Ukraine – breaking the

95-year-old record held byJuan Errazquin.

VICTOR LINDELOF

The Manchester United defender has been

praised by Swedish police for catching a thief

who robbed an elderly woman. According

to reports, Lindelof witnessed a man snatch

an elderly woman’s handbag, then pursued

him, caught him, and held onto him until

the police arrived.

VEDAD IBISEVIC

After moving from Hertha Berlin to Schalke,

the veteran striker has pledged to donate

his salary to charity. The Bosnian striker said:

“I’m not here to earn money, but to play in the

Bundesliga. My basic salary will be donated

to charity. I will only play for bonuses.”

HECTOR BELLERIN

The Arsenal defender has demonstrated his

commitment to environmental causes by

becoming the second-largest shareholder

of Forest Green Rovers – the most

environmentally-friendly club in the world.

The League Two side are fully vegan, and

have plans to build a new wooden stadium.

HEROES VILLAINS

Wonderkid...Ansu Fati

Seeing red...Toni Leistner

HILTON

The Montpellier defender should have been

in the “Heroes” category after becoming the

first 43-year-old to play in Ligue1 for over

60 years, but tarnished that record by being

sent off. In doing so, Hilton became the

14th player to be red-carded in the first

threeweeksoftheFrenchseason.

PSG SUPPORTERS

French police made over150 arrests in

Paris following the Champions League final,

as Paris Saint-Germain fans broke out into

violence. More than 5,000 people gathered

at theChamps-Elyseesto watch the game,

but after the defeat vehicles were set on fire,

windows broken and shops vandalised.

GIANNI INFANTINO

In spite of the fact that he is still being

investigated by Swiss authorities, FIFA’s

Ethics Committee has cleared its president

of any alleged breaches. Infantino’s

relationship with Swiss Attorney-General

Michael Lauber is under investigation.

TONI LEISTNER

On his return to former club Dynamo

Dresden, and on the receiving end of a 4-

loss, the Hamburg defender launched himself

into the crowd to confront a group of fans.

“I was verbally abused from the stands. I can

usually cope with it. But this was extremely

and massively below the belt, against my

family,” he wrote onInstagram.
