Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni was in attendance to watch AC Milan’s 3-2 win vs. Udinese.
Scaloni was reportedly in attendance to continue scouting Rodrigo De Paul and Juan Musso. In terms of outfield players, De Paul has been a constant in Scaloni’s plans. For Musso, he appears to be behind both Esteban Andrada and Franco Armani.
Lionel Messi scored for Barcelona in their 1-0 win vs. Granada.
Messi would be at the end of a lovely team play with a right footed finish to score the only goal of the match. Griezmann played a lovely first touch flick over to Vidal and the Chilean with a backheel to Messi who would score.

Alexis Mac Allister and Adolfo Gaich both scored for the U23 Argentina team in their 2-1 win vs. Colombia.
It was Colombia who took an early 1-0 lead despite Argentina getting the better chances. Fernando Batista’s team were awarded a free kick and it was the Boca Juniors man who stepped up to take it.
Mac Allister would take the free kick and a low powerful shot would draw Argentina level. We would see one more goal in the second half.
Argentina would score through Adolfo Gaich as the San Lorenzo man would curl one past the goalkeeper. The score would remain the same but Alexis Mac Allister would get sent off after getting two yellow cards.
Argentina will play against hosts Colombia in their opening match of the Olympic qualifiers.
Fernando Batista’s team will look to get all three points versus the hosts as they look to be able to book a spot at the Olympics. Here is the rumored eleven:
Facundo Cambeses; Marcelo Herrera, Nehuen Perez, Facundo Medina, Claudio Bravo; Fausto Vera, Nicolas Capaldo; Julian Alvarez, Alexis Mac Allister, Agustin Urzi; Adolfo Gaich
The two time gold winners in football at the Olympics have been placed in Group A along with Colombia, Chile, Ecuador and Venezuela. Argentina will play Colombia, Chile plays Ecuador while Venezuela has off.
Sergio Agüero scored twice for Manchester City in their 2-2 draw vs. Crystal Palace.
Agüero would be the hero in the match for Pep Guardiola’s team. Despite going down 1-0, Sergio Aguero would score to draw City level. A ball inside the penalty area and it’s Agüero who would get to it and score from close range.
City’s all time leading scorer would do it again. A ball crossed in and it’s Agüero who would head it into the net. He would give City the 2-1 lead but it would be Fernandinho who would score an own goal late in the match.
📊| Sergio Aguero has scored his 250th goal and how his 251st goal in all competitions for Man City, in what is his 360th appearance for the club.
