Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp hailed Lionel Messi as probably the best player I have seen in my life but thinks Virgil van Dijk should have been awarded the Ballon d Or.
Barcelona superstar Messi the prestigious honour for a record sixth time on Monday, with organisers France Football declaring his seven-point margin over Van Dijk to be one of the narrowest in the award s 63-year history.

I m very proud of what I ve achieved last year and hopefully we can do th…
Eusebio Di Francesco wants Roma to emulate Juventus commanding home record in order to evolve into Serie A title challengers.
Six of the Giallorossi s seven league losses this season have come at Stadio Olimpico, leaving them at risk of sliding out of the top four with two games remaining.
The challenge to preserve a Champions League spot is made more difficult by Sunday s visit from a Juve side expecting to sew up a seventh successive Scudetto.
An imposing Allianz Stadium has been the cornerstone of that dominance, the Bianconeri having lost just three Serie A home matches since Massimiliano Allegri took over in 2014.
Di Francesco urged his players to adopt the champions professional approach to each assignment.
Over the last few years Roma have…

Cameroon captain Vincent Aboubakar led from the front with a clinical double as the Africa Cup of Nations hosts swept to a 4-1 win over Ethiopia.
At the Olembe Stadium in Yaounde, Aboubakar and Karl Toko Ekambi feasted on generous defending to make it two wins from two for Cameroon. For Aboubakar, this was his second double in AFCON so far, after also scoring twice in an opening win over Burkina Faso.
Ethiopia stunned the home crowd with a fourth-minute opener, Dawa Hotessa tucking in from close range after some dismal defending. But there was a near-immediate response, Cameroon levelling with a fine header from Toko Ekambi in the eighth minute.
Aboubakar saw a 25-yard shot repelled by Ethiopia goalkeeper Teklemariam Shanko in the lead-up, but Collins Fai col…

Kaka s wonderful second-half strike was not enough for Milan, who were held to a 1-1 home draw against Lazio on Wednesday.
The Brazilian combined with Mario Balotelli nine minutes after the interval, sending a sumptuous curling effort into the top right corner in a true moment of quality in an otherwise dour affair.
It was Kaka s first goal of the season, and one incredibly similar to a strike he netted against the same opponents in a 4-1 win back in September 2008.
But it was not enough for Milan to seal three points as Mickael Ciani headed home from an Antonio Candreva cross with 18 minutes to go to secure his side a point.
Kaka was given just his second league start of the season as Massimiliano Allegri made four changes from Sunday s 3-2 defeat at Parma, whil…
