From the archives, we have;
It was a big weekend for women’s football at club level, firstly we saw Barcelona dismantle Real Madrid to win yesterday’s Liga F El Clásico clash. Caroline Graham Hansen assisted the first and scored the second, putting her side on the path to success — revisit our 2019/20 scout report on the Norwegian attacker.
Meanwhile, Juventus earned a 5-0 win over Inter in Derby d’Italia — Arianna Caruso scored one and assisted one in this game, so it’s an appropriate time to read our 2021 scout report on the Juve and Italy star.
Lauren Hemp’s contract is set to expire in 2024 and her Manchester Derby performance may have put suitors on alert as she scored City’s second goal of the game – helping them overcome Manchester United by three goals to one. Check out our 2020 scout report detailing key aspects of her game.
Meanwhile, in men’s int’l action, Romelu Lukaku scored four in 37 minutes as Belgium crushed Azerbaijan 5-0. The striker has scored six in Serie A this term for Roma, with only Olivier Giroud and Lautaro Martínez netting more — check out our September preview of how he’d fit into José Mourinho’s tactics.
And that’s it for today – we’ll be back tomorrow with more pieces old and new about everything analysis in the football world.
