Manchester United have tabled a €28m offer for Olympiacos midfielder Christos Mouzakitis, but the bid falls short of the Greek club’s valuation, inviting Real Madrid, Arsenal and Brighton to intensify their interest in one of Europe’s most talked about young prospects. The Golden Boy Web Award winner has impressed with composure, athleticism and defensive awareness, helped Olympiacos win the 2024 UEFA Youth League and held his own in a full 90 minute Champions League outing, drawing praise from Xabi Alonso and prompting long term tracking by several top clubs including Brighton after signing Babis Kostoulas.

Olympiacos briefly stunned Real Madrid with a superb team goal, only for Kylian Mbappe to respond with a ruthless seven-minute hat-trick before half-time, flipping the game from 1-0 down to a commanding Real lead and adding another historic European feat to his record. After ending a three-match scoring drought with the equaliser on 22 minutes, Mbappe headed in a second moments later, then latched onto Arda Guler’s lofted pass to drill a low third past Konstantinos Tzolakis. The explosive burst reasserted Madrid’s control and ensured another match ball for the France star.

Real Madrid confirmed Thibaut Courtois will miss the Champions League trip to Olympiacos after being diagnosed with a viral gastrointestinal infection, while Dean Huijsen has also been ruled out. The setback removes one of Madrid’s most trusted starters from a key away fixture. Courtois left Valdebebas before training and medical tests later revealed the infection, prompting the club to withdraw him from the travelling squad and monitor his recovery. His availability for the upcoming league game against Girona is unclear, forcing Madrid to lean again on their reserve goalkeeping options.

Starting at No. 9 amid injuries to Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres, Rashford scored twice as Barça crushed Olympiacos 6–1.

Rashford’s diagonal runs and near-post surges created finishing lanes, while López attacked cutbacks. Controlled counter-pressing locked Olympiacos deep, sustaining chance volume and restoring momentum ahead of a crowded calendar.
