The Argentine Premier Division kicked off this week and we’re off to a strong start with this blooper from Talleres defender Matias Catalán. Costing his side three points against Gimnasia in their opening game, Catalán can consider himself unlucky – his blunderous own goal was only possible due to the state of the modern offside law.

Fiorentina and Napoli had good seasons in Italy last year – reaching cup finals and winning the league repsectively – and one of the rewards for their efforts was to play out the Italian Super Cup semi-final in a half-empty stadium in the Saudi Arabian capital, Riyadh, this week.

The 2034 World Cup should be a blast.
