Donald Glover is reportedly returning to write and star in a feature-length 'LANDO' heist film for Lucasfilm.
The project is reportedly being framed as an ensemble action-comedy following young Lando Calrissian pulling off an impossible casino robbery on Canto Bight.
Sneijder said Mourinho might be the only coach who can actually tell Vinicius or Mbappé something and make it stick.
Tonight in Athens, that theory gets another test.
Mbappé: 3 Champions League games, 3 goals, 1 assist.
Vinicius: 3 games, 0 goals, 0 assists — and still tipped to start on the left.
Same pitch. Same left half-space. Different numbers.
Mourinho already said it plain: of everyone in the squad, Vini is best suited to the left flank — and he wants him a lot. Diomande is breathing down that same wing after lighting up La Liga while Vini sat suspended.
So who eats the big minutes in Athens when both want the ball in the same pocket?
Mbappé CF drifting left, or Vini locked wide feeding him — which version wins you Europe? Yes to Vini-first, or sell him for the France star every night?

Two footballers.
Same birth year.
Both taken far too soon.
Diogo Jota (1996–2025)
Jesús de Miguel (1996–2026)
One left three young children and a wife he had married just days earlier.
The other left a little girl who will barely remember her father’s face.
One was celebrating a Premier League title and a Nations League win.
The other was chasing a ball in stoppage time, doing the only thing he knew how to do fighting for his team.
Football gave them purpose, joy, and identity.
In the end, it couldn’t protect them.
We keep saying “there are no words.”
But the silence is deafening.
The pitch will keep going.
The matches will continue.
But somewhere, two little families are learning how to live with a hole that will never close.
Rest in peace, Diogo.
Rest in peace, Jesús.
You both deserved so much more time.

Carragher used to say European nights expose young midfielders in 10 minutes — either they hide, or they set the tempo.
Trey Nyoni just got that test twice.
85 minutes at LASK. 81 against Villarreal.
0 goals. 0 assists.
But 93% pass completion, 3 key passes, and a 7.5 rating in a 4–3 comeback.
Today The Athletic says he’s in advanced talks over a new Liverpool deal.
Tonight in Istanbul he’s tipped to start again vs Fenerbahçe.
Would you lock him into the next 10 UCL nights — yes, or still “too early”?

🚨 JJ Gabriel and Real Madrid: leading the race since September, ready to make it happen very soon. 🔜💣
Can't cut it in the Premier League? Why not try the Champions League?

Andoni Iraola has sparked a huge debate after suggesting that footballers must go to ground to win penalties.
The Liverpool boss was furious after Alexander Isak had his shirt pulled by Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber during Liverpool's 1-0 defeat at Anfield.
Despite the apparent shirt pull, Isak stayed on his feet, and no penalty was awarded.
Iraola didn't hold back after the match, saying:
"If you don't dive, they won't call it." 👀
He even admitted he would tell Isak to go down next time.
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk also questioned the decision, arguing that officials have enough cameras to spot such incidents.
But here's the big question: Has football reached a point where staying on your feet is actually a disadvantage?⚽

JOSE MOURINHO AHEAD OF HIS CHAMPIONS LEAGUE MATCH
Ahead of his match, José Mourinho spoke
on the team's objective and pressure:
"We put pressure on ourselves because we want to win... We are playing eight matches in this phase, and the goal is to qualify; every point is important."
"Is it a special match? After the match, yes. During the match, no. During the match, it's just another game."
"We have to play very well because we'll have a strong opponent ahead... They haven't come here to watch football, but to fight hard and play.
Mourinho knows his team his ready and they are not taking the opponents for granted.
