With Liverpool needing a result to secure qualification into the knock-out stages, Coutinho picked up his first-ever Liverpool hat-trick in a 7-0 win in the Champions League Group E finale. It started just four minutes in as Mohamed Salah was brought down in the area for a penalty.

Coutinho notched Liverpool’s second not long after, completing a nice team move by sliding a pass from Robert Firmino past the keeper and inside the far post....

Officers alleged the two men—Deanis John Smith and Cameron Joseph Kemmis—entered the property in Sarnia, Ontario, at about 7.15 p.m. on Friday, smashing down the front door before threatening the occupants with a hammer. One of the suspects then demanded money that he said was owed to him, according to police. But the pair quickly realized they were not in the property they had intended to break into and apologized—even offering to cover the cost of repairing damage, Sarnia Police Service said....

Aguero and some of his team-mates had also appeared to confront police after a City fan had been led away as he celebrated Sterling’s goal....

On Thursday, the dictionary tweeted an old blog post from their website containing “rare and amusing insults.” One of these—which was highlighted in the tweet itself—was “mumpsimus,” which according to Merriam-Webster means: “A stubborn person who insists on making an error in spite of being shown that it is wrong.” The dictionary says that this insult originated with an illiterate priest who accidentally said “mumpsimus” rather than “sumpsimus”—meaning “we have taken” in Latin—during a mass service....

The response was polite applause. Fair enough: perhaps the locals were nervous following a lacklustre opening draw against Bolivia in the 2011 Copa America. There was little room for further error with Colombia in town. Next up, after Messi’s No. 10, was the Albiceleste’s No. 11. “The player of the people, Carlos Tevez!” The masses roared. The Manchester City forward, who would soon embark upon an extended mid-season golfing holiday after a bust-up with club boss Roberto Mancini, was the object of their affections....

Messi’s brilliant hat-trick in Argentina’s World Cup qualifier against Ecuador last month ensured his side will be at the finals in Russia next year. Argentina 8/1 to win the World Cup Despite his importance on the pitch, the Barcelona forward has been subject to speculation suggesting he holds too much influence over who plays for Argentina.

The mercurial Argentine has netted at a remarkable rate down the years, with his efforts helping him to five Ballon d’Or awards and countless records. He has, however, faced something of a Chelsea hoodoo over the course of his continental endeavours. Messi has faced the Blues on eight previous occasions, but has never troubled the scorers to post the longest drought of a goal-laden spell at Camp Nou. Messi first faced Chelsea back in 2006, as Barcelona secured a 3-1 aggregate victory over the Blues in the last-16....

Having cut a frustrated figure for the Albiceleste in their opening two Group D fixtures, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner rediscovered his spark in a meeting with Nigeria.
