In February 2016, when Kylian Mbappe hadn’t yet signed professional terms with Monaco, I broke Liverpool’s interest in him. At that point, they had 16 months of recon on the forward. Even then, I was told it would be “practically impossible” to pull off because “he will become the best player in the world.” PSG and Real Madrid were offering financial terms that just couldn’t be matched. Liverpool wanted to at least try.

This meeting that Klopp speaks about was in 2017 and it was Mbappe’s mum that was so keen for it to happen. Kylian revealed in 2022: “I talked to Liverpool because it’s the favourite club of my mum – my mum loves Liverpool. I don’t know why, you will have to ask her.”

🚨 FA made strong representation to FIFA that VAR process incorrectly followed on Quansah red card. Cited referee viewing still image 1st when should be realtime replay. Request for mitigation not accepted. Rules state 2-game ban + no appeal @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/RiRpUpIYYr

I love football. I love late drama. I love comebacks. I love knowing that anything is possible and feeling like we’re watching a steady stream of some of the greatest games ever. I do not love how we are expected to ignore the inconsistencies in officiating and the interventions from VAR, which have largely been heavily weighted towards certain teams and its players. If you’ve watched and followed everything in this World Cup and are still subscribed the idea that it’s all fair, delusionville must be a lovely place to reside.

This ref hasn't done himself any favours. The accusations aren't going away. Didn't want to look at that pen for Egypt at all

[James Pearce @JamesPearceLFC]
