    Harry Kane has been voted Germany’s 2026 player of the year after scoring 61 goals across all competitions for Bayern Munich. The England striker finished ahead of teammate Michael Olise in the annual poll conducted by German sports journalists.

    Kane helped Bayern defend the Bundesliga title, win the German Cup and secure the Supercup, including a hat-trick in the cup final. Bayern coach Vincent Kompany also won Germany’s coach of the year award after receiving nearly half the available votes.

    Manchester City have agreed a deal worth up to €100m for Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi. The 18-year-old Morocco international emerged as one of the World Cup’s standout young players and is now set for a major Premier League move.

    Bouaddi will join a heavily rebuilt City midfield following the departures of Rodri and Tijjani Reijnders. His arrival gives Enzo Maresca another long-term central option alongside record signing Elliot Anderson, while Lille secure a huge return on their academy-developed midfielder.

    Brighton thrashed Aston Villa 4-0 at the Amex Stadium after Villa produced a disastrous first half featuring an own goal, repeated defensive errors and a red card. New signing Joao Gomes was dismissed on his Premier League debut before the interval.

    Villa entered the match amid major squad turnover and uncertainty around Ollie Watkins, then repeatedly gifted Brighton chances while attempting to play out. Gomes compounded the collapse with a reckless dismissal, leaving Unai Emery’s reshaped side facing an alarming opening-weekend defeat.

    Manchester City scored twice in the final minutes to beat Bournemouth 2-1 in Enzo Maresca’s first Premier League match in charge. Marc Guehi equalised in the 84th minute before Josko Gvardiol completed the comeback in stoppage time.

    Bournemouth had led through Marcus Tavernier and were close to handing City consecutive defeats after the Community Shield. Maresca unusually deployed centre-back Guehi in holding midfield, and the gamble paid off when he headed City’s equaliser before Gvardiol struck the winner.

    Liverpool rescued a 2-2 draw at Newcastle through Dominik Szoboszlai’s 99th-minute penalty after twice falling behind. Anthony Elanga and Joe Willock scored for Newcastle, while Cody Gakpo had earlier equalised for Andoni Iraola’s side on the opening Premier League weekend.

    Newcastle were moments from victory when Lewis Hall fouled Liverpool debutant Victor Munoz inside the box. VAR upheld Stuart Attwell’s penalty decision and Szoboszlai converted, denying Matthias Jaissle a winning Premier League managerial debut and giving Liverpool a dramatic late point.

    Paris Saint-Germain recovered from two goals down to draw 2-2 at Rennes in their Ligue 1 opener, with new signing Ferran Torres scoring twice in the second half. Rennes had led through Sebastian Szymanski and Esteban Lepaul.

    Torres transformed the match after PSG struggled to break down Rennes and looked headed for another defeat following their French Super Cup loss. The €50m arrival from Barcelona struck twice in quick succession to secure Luis Enrique’s side an opening-round point.

    The ball Diego Maradona used for both his Hand of God goal and Goal of the Century against England at the 1986 World Cup has sold for $3.35m at Heritage Auctions, well below the auction house’s $10m estimate.

    The same Adidas Azteca ball previously sold for $2.37m in 2022 and failed to meet its reserve in another auction a year later. Its latest sale reflects renewed World Cup-era collector interest while remaining below football memorabilia’s biggest record prices.

    Five supporters were injured after fireworks were fired from Feyenoord’s away section during their 5-2 win over Cambuur. Cambuur reported burns, hearing damage and eye injuries, describing the incident as unacceptable after pyrotechnics reached the pitch and surrounding stands.

    Controversy continued after the final whistle when Feyenoord players walked over to acknowledge the away end despite the injuries. The gesture triggered criticism from supporters who argued the team should have visibly distanced itself from the dangerous behaviour in the stand.

    Barcelona opened their La Liga title defence with a 5-0 victory away to Elche. Raphinha scored twice, Karim Adeyemi netted on his league debut, and Anthony Gordon produced two assists after coming on for his first competitive Barcelona appearance.

    Hansi Flick started without new midfielder Rodri but Barcelona still overwhelmed Elche and began their pursuit of a third consecutive league title emphatically. Fermin Lopez added two goals, while Gordon immediately showed his value after replacing a starter in the second half.

    Aston Villa have reached an agreement with Leon Goretzka over a free transfer after his Bayern Munich contract expired. The 31-year-old midfielder has agreed financial terms and is expected to sign a two or three-year contract if he passes his medical.

    Unai Emery reportedly played a decisive role by personally calling Goretzka and promising him an important role at Villa. The medical is the final obstacle, making this a material advance from earlier exploratory talks involving Juventus, Milan, Inter and Arsenal.
