Kroos vs Aubameyang: Beefing it out
Kroos had some well-chosen words about modern football and its celebrations. According to Goal, the German midfield maestro said on the podcast “Einfach mal Luppen” “I find it very silly. Even worse is if there are any objects hidden in their socks. Aubameyang once celebrated and took out a mask. That’s where it ends with me. I don’t think that’s a good role model, either. What nonsense”
Aubameyang has hit back. “By the way, does this @tonikroos have kids? Just to remember I did it for my son a few times and I will do it again”
Call me old fashioned, but I agree 100% with Kroos. Fortnite-dances belong in games and superhero-masks are for Halloween. What’s your opinion on modern celebrations?
Haaland & Camavinga in January?

According to them, Real will try to sign Haaland and Camavinga in the January transfer window.
Jovic the only one who featured in last night’s international games
Luka Jovic got on to the field in an important qualifying match against Scotland, and was extremely involved. The striker got subbed on at around 70 minutes as Scotland was leading 1-0. Jovic scored a late late equalizer to force the game in to extra time. He also scored his penalty in the shootout, but Serbia was in the end facing the bitter taste of defeat as Alexandar Mitrovic’s penalty did not end in goal, while Kenny McLean converted his to send Scotland to the Euros .
The club to propose new wage cuts

Adil Rami wants Benzema to play for the French national team again
The former player opened up on the striker’s situation “It is so frustrating not seeing Benzema in this team. Saying that, is not saying something against Oliver Giroud. We also need Giroud because he is a goal scorer….It would be fantastic to see Benzema in blue again.”
