Alejandro Garnacho scored his first goal of the season with Manchester United in their 3-0 win vs. Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup.
Garnacho started for Manchester United and scored the first goal of the match. The ball fell to the Argentina inside the penalty area and his effort on target deflected off the defender and went into the back of the net.
The 19 year old started the first two Premier League matches of the season for Manchester United but has since been a substitute.
Mauro Icardi scored as he made it seven goals in six matches for Galatasaray.
Icardi continues his great goal scoring run, now scoring in six consecutive matches. The 30 year old did make headlines before scoring the first goal of the match as he missed a clear opportunity to score.
Galatasaray were awarded a penalty kick and they decided to do a penalty similar to the one the late Johan Cruyff did decades ago. The one which was replicated by Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez when Messi took the penalty but instead of kicking the ball, he passed it to Suarez and scored.
Icard was the one who received the pass for the penalty but his effort went wide of the goal. But he would score the first goal of the match.
The Argentine received the ball inside the penalty area and with players in front of him, controlled the ball and placed it towards the side of the goal to give Galatasaray the 1-0 lead.
Erik Lamela scored for Sevilla in their 5-1 win vs. Almeria.
Lamela has made it two goals for the season as the Argentine scored from close range to give Sevilla the 4-0 lead. The 31 year old was the only Argentine in the starting eleven for Sevilla as Lucas Ocampos was an unused substitute.
Gerardo Tata Martino spoke about Lionel Messi’s injury and possibly playing against Houston Dynamo in the U.S Open Cup final.
All eyes and ears have been on Lionel Messi and his fitness levels ahead of Inter Miami’s U.S Open Cup final on Wednesday. Messi was substituted out last week against Toronto FC and Martino was asked about Messi’s fitness on Tuesday.
Martino spoke at a press conference on Tuesday morning and here is what he had to say about Lionel Messi:
“We imagine that he doesn’t want to miss the very important final. In this case, yes I will sit down with him to see what his feelings are… Here there are three questions: first the player, then the final, and then what comes next.
“We will wait until tomorrow. Jordi Alba, it’s difficult, but with Leo we will wait until the last moment to see the resolution we take.”
The Inter Miami coach went on to speak about how it could play a role in ticket sales:
“I have to give info that could change the opponent’s game plan. Why should I give that info if I can keep it to myself? I know that goes against people’s interests as to buy tickets or not, but we have to prioritize things as they are, and what we want is to win the game.
“He doesn’t need surgery or anything like that. It’s just a matter of how much time the player needs to rest in order to play the next game. If it wasn’t a final, we wouldn’t take any risks. But because it’s a final, there is a chance we take that risk.”
Ángel Correa has suffered an MCL sprain, Atletico have confirmed.
Correa will be sidelined with an MCL following Bellingham’s tackle during the Madrid derby. Atletico announced on Tuesday that the 28 year old underwent an MRI and he has suffered a medial collateral ligament sprain.
He will undergo individual work and his recovery will depend on his evolution.
