Belgium and Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne is just focused on playing well after it was put to him that he is the most in-form player in the world.
De Bruyne produced another scintillating display with three assists and a goal as Belgium eased past Scotland 4-0 in Euro 2020 qualifying on Monday.
The playmaker has also managed one goal and five assists for two-time reigning Premier League champions City this term.
Fortunately I don t have to judge that, De Bruyne said when asked if there is anyone playing better than him at the moment.
I just have to play well. I m just content. I m feeling good.
I have already played many matches and am starting to come into my rhythm. That is important, because there are still many games to play.
Jose Mourinho s first piece of Chelsea silverware was the 2005 League Cup and he has the chance to repeat that against Tottenham on Sunday.
Chelsea are hoping to evoke the spirit of 2005 when they take on Tottenham in the League Cup final on Sunday.
Although Chelsea have won the tournament once more since beating Liverpool 3-2 that year, the 2005 League Cup final represented the first piece of silverware secured by Jose Mourinho during his first stint in charge at Stamford Bridge.
That proved to be a watershed moment for Chelsea in terms of success and 10 years on Mourinho is looking for his first trophy since returning to the London club in 2013.
Captain John Terry who also skippered Chelsea in the 2005 final believes this weekend s clash can have t…
Chelsea star Eden Hazard says he is yet to receive a new contract offer and will not rule out the prospect of leaving Stamford Bridge before next season.
The Belgium international shook off the disappointment of 2015-16 to reproduce some of his very best form this season, registering 16 goals and five assists as Antonio Conte s side claimed the Premier League title.
Speculation continues to link Hazard with a possible move to Real Madrid and reports in England have claimed that Chelsea are prepared to offer him a new deal worth £300,000 per week in order to convince him to stay.
The 26-year-old says talks over a renewal will not take place until after the international break, but cannot discount the prospect of a transfer.
At this moment, there s nothin…
Leny Yoro is relishing the opportunity to play in the Premier League for Manchester United, a division he described as the biggest in the world .
Yoro completed his £52million move to Old Trafford from Lille last week, signing a five-year contract with the option of a further year.
The 18-year-old became United s second signing of the transfer window following the arrival of Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna four days prior.
Yoro was thrust straight into Erik ten Hag s starting line-up for their 2-0 win over Rangers in their pre-season friendly on Saturday and impressed on his debut.
The French defender had the most touches (51), completed passes (44) and completed long passes (four) of anyone in the United side and is looking forward to showcasing his tale…

A highly anticipated Derby della Capitale awaits on Saturday evening as Serie A powerhouses AS Roma and Lazio clash at their mutual home of Stadio Olimpico.
Since their goalless draw in the reverse fixture back in November, and a subsequent Coppa Italia victory for the Biancocelesti, both clubs have undergone managerial changes. With European qualification still within reach for both Eternal City rivals, a fiercely contested encounter is on the horizon.
AS Roma
The upcoming match will mark the 183rd Rome derby across all competitions. Since the inaugural official meeting between Roma and Lazio in December 1929, numerous controversies and incidents have occurred, sparking heated debates in the Italian capital and beyond.

Even the weather seemed to want this match done. By the time the final whistle blew at Old Trafford the skies had already broken open, pounding the turf with English summer rain, gluing Erik ten Hag’s ill-advised houndstooth summer sports jacket to his shoulders, leaving Mikel Arteta squelching across in skintight all-black to punch the air in celebration of a 1-0 win that leaves Arsenal top of the table, right up until the next time they’re not.
This is not the end, as long as we can still say: this is the end. The title race will now tick down into the final week of the season, which is a thing in itself given the might of the Manchester City machine.
