Edoardo Bove now responsive after collapsing in the Florentina-Inter match.

Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove, who collapsed on the field during Sunday’s Serie A match against Inter, is now reported conscious and responsive. The 22-year old midfielder fell unchallenged in the 16th minute at Stadio Artemio Franchi, prompting immediate medical attention and the suspension of the game. He was rushed to hospital by ambulance, leaving many teammates in distress. Fiorentina later confirmed he was under pharmacological sedation and receiving intensive care. However, reports from La Repubblica and Fabrizio Romano have confirmed the positive news: Bove has suffered no brain or heart damage. After nearly 13 hours on a ventilator, he was successfully extubated and is awake, answering questions, and breathing unaided. His first words were “thank you all,” as messages of support poured in from across the football world.

Real Madrid move within 1-point in the title race after a huge win over Getafe.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men bounced back from their midweek UEFA Champions League defeat to Liverpool with a 2-0 win over Getafe in La Liga on Sunday. Jude Bellingham opened the scoring in the 30th minute, converting a penalty after Antonio Rüdiger was fouled by Getafe’s Allan Nyom. Eight minutes later, Bellingham provided a perfect assist for Kylian Mbappé, who finished coolly from outside the box, hitting the post for his eighth La Liga goal of the season. Despite a possible second penalty for a handball by Getafe, VAR overturned the decision, and Mbappé missed several chances to add to his tally. With the victory, Real Madrid closed the gap to Barcelona to just one point, with a game in hand. Next up, they face Athletic Club on Wednesday before a trip to Girona on Saturday.

Liverpool go clear in the PL title race after a commanding win over Man City.

Mohamed Salah inspired Liverpool to a commanding 2-0 victory over Manchester City, strengthening Arne Slot’s side’s grip on the Premier League title race. Salah set up Cody Gakpo for the opening goal as Liverpool started the match with remarkable intensity. City were fortunate to only trail by one at halftime, having been dominated, but they improved in the second half. However, a moment of defensive chaos, capped by a penalty for Liverpool, allowed Salah to seal the win. The result leaves Manchester City 11 points behind, a gap that feels insurmountable at this stage. With seven consecutive games without a win, City will need to regroup quickly if they are to challenge for the title.

Joshua Kimmich to decide on Bayern’s contract extension in January.

Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich has revealed that he plans to make a decision about his future in the winter, rather than waiting until the end of the season. The midfielder, who has been linked with various European clubs, has previously hinted at the possibility of a move to Barcelona when the teams faced off in the Champions League. Kimmich now says he will evaluate his options in the upcoming months. “I will sit down in winter, consider the bigger picture, and make the right decision,” he told ZDF Sportstudio. While Bayern are eager to open talks over a contract extension, other clubs continue to monitor his situation closely.

Amorim secures first PL win as Man United defeats Everton 4-0.

Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee both scored braces as Manchester United triumphed 4-0 over Everton in Ruben Amorim’s first Premier League home game. Rashford broke the deadlock in the 30th minute, finishing a Bruno Fernandes corner with a half-volley. Seven minutes later, Zirkzee doubled the lead after Fernandes capitalized on Amad Diallo’s press on Jarrad Branthwaite. Rashford added a second just 20 seconds into the second half, converting a close-range strike from Diallo’s assist. Diallo then set up Zirkzee for his second, dispossessing James Tarkowski before teeing up the Dutch forward to seal the win. Amorim’s first league victory lifts United to ninth in the table, recovering from a disappointing 1-1 draw at Ipswich Town. Everton, without a goal in four consecutive matches, remain 15th, just two points above the relegation zone.
