Argentina list to be announced tomorrow, GOMEZ included

Alejandro GOMEZ of Atalanta is expected to be called up to the Argentina National Team.

Papu GOMEZ is set to receive his second call-up for his country when Argentina coach Jorge SAMPAOLI announces his list of players for next month’s World Cup Qualifiers. One who is very much likely to miss out yet again is Juventus’ Gonzalo HIGUAIN.

According to the same Tweet, Diego PEROTTI of AS Roma and Lucas ALARIO of Bayer Leverkusen both have chances of being included in the list. Nicolas PAREJA is not expected to be included in the team and per a report by La Nacion, a spot could open up for Ezequiel GARAY, German PEZZELLA or even MAMMANA. Augusto FERNANDEZ and Guido PIZARRO will not be included (both due to injuries), however, Eduardo SALVIO will be on the team and possibly even Angel DI MARIA.

Tomorrow, SAMPAOLI is expected to announce the European based list for the last two matches against Peru and Ecuador.

Argentina to play against Peru at La Bombonera

It has been confirmed, Argentina will play next month at La Bombonera.

Confirmed earlier today on the official Argentina Twitter account, the National Team will be playing next month’s crucial World Cup Qualifier against Peru at Boca’s La Bombonera stadium.

The stadium was sanctioned and approved by FIFA for the match. As we’ve been reporting for a week now, the AFA have been thinking of playing the match at that stadium and on Monday got the approval from CONMEBOL.

Joaquin CORREA steals point for Sevilla against Liverpool

Joaquin CORREA drew Sevilla level in their 2-2 draw against Liverpool.

The team from Merseyside made their return to the Champions League but it didn’t go exactly as planned. After falling behind to a goal, Liverpool drew level and then took the lead. With a 2-1 command on the game, the home side were awarded a penalty kick and a chance to put the match away. Up stepped the Brazilian FIRMINO but his penalty hit the post.

Fast forward to the second half and we get Joaquin CORREA running at the end of a ball in the Liverpool penalty area and he slots the ball passed the goalkeeper for Sevilla’s second of the match.

CORREA wasn’t the only man from Argentina to score in the Champions League this week with Lionel MESSI and Sergio AGUERO both finding the back of the net.

Kun AGUERO scores for Manchester City against Feyenoord

Sergio Kun AGUERO scored for Manchester City in their 4-0 crushing of Feyenoord.

After scoring two goals and setting one up on Tuesday, it was time for Lionel MESSI’s close friend Sergio AGUERO to get on the scoresheet in the Champions League. The club from Manchester absolutely ran riot in the Netherlands, picking up 3 points in their 4-0 win. Kun AGUERO scored in the 10th minute after driving into the area and half volleying in a shot in from the right hand side.

The goal was AGUERO’s 50th in European club competitions (including his time in Spain with Atletico Madrid) in 84 UEFA matches. That brings his tally up to three goals in five matches in all competitions this season.

Lionel MESSI scores and assists against Juventus

It was the Lionel MESSI show for Barcelona against Juventus in the UEFA Champions League.

Two goals an one assist against Juventus, not a bad night at the office for the world’s best player. Some were calling it revenge other were calling it the turn of a new season, call it what you want, MESSI was the star of the show.

Remarkable to think that Lionel had never scored against BUFFON, after all, he has played against the great goalkeeper a few times. But this time, Leo finally broke the curse. A great one-two with Luis SUAREZ and a precise surgical finish from the little man right before half time ensured that his team would go into the dressing room a goal to the goods.

A clinical run down the right hand side in the second half, a pass which was meant to SUAREZ but landed to RAKITIC and it was 2-0 for the Catalans. Ernesto VALVERDE’s men got the third after another MESSI run as his shot went right but BUFFON was going left. A 3-0 win meant they go joint top of the table along with Marcos ACUNA’s Sporting Lisbon in their group.

Two other Argentinians, Paulo DYBALA and Gonzalo HIGUAIN (who was left isolated up front alone but did not look too mobile when he was on the ball) started the match for the Serie A league winners.
