Rafa came off the bench to snatch Benfica a 2-1 derby win over Sporting CP, moving them up to second in the Primeira Liga and dealing a major blow to their hosts' title hopes.

Vincent Kompany was at Tegernsee [last summer], he drove out there with Christoph Freund, and said: 'Uli, we need Xavi Simons'. I had put an apple pie on the table for the meeting and replied: 'Vincent, you can have another piece of the apple pie, but you're not getting Xavi. We want you to play the young players'.

Aboubacar Maiga is known for his playmaking ability and has been linked with FC Barcelona. He is part of the Africa Foot academy in Mali, which has a collaboration agreement with Barça.

Patricio Pacifico has made an instant impression with Barcelona Atletic after signing in the winter from Uruguayan club Defensor Sporting. The transfer does include an option to make the deal permanent and the Catalans have already decided to take that up.

What I experienced there was a dream. I arrived young, you see the teammates I had, and when I left I can say that many are friends; I still talk to them. The truth is I miss many of them a lot, but that's life. I wish them all the best and hope to return in the future.

In a week where young Irish players were in the headlines, from Shamrock Rovers' Michael Noonan to former Galway United man Alex Murphy, here are the teenage talents who have been capturing attention and will hope to follow in the footsteps of Mason Melia (€1.7m move to Spurs) and Victor Ozhianvuna (initial €2m pre-contract deal with Arsenal) in the future.

With the first leg taking place in Thessaloniki, PAOK will recognise the importance of establishing control before next week's return fixture. Razvan Lucescu's team arrive on the back of a goalless draw with AEK Athens-a result that extended their unbeaten run but also underlined a slight dip in attacking sharpness. PAOK have nonetheless demonstrated resilience in recent weeks. Three wins and two draws from their last five matches across all competitions reflect a team capable of grinding out results.

Gilli had felt like a lame duck since the Arnault family took over the club midway through last season, but earning promotion to Ligue 1 at the first time of asking bought him a stay of execution. It didn't last long. With fears of relegation growing, Kombouare a former lame duck turned firefighter has taken his place. Just like Gilli, Kombouare too failed to fulfil the lofty ambitions of new owners; his face didn't fit.

You would not expect to find coaches from the Celtic FC Foundation in Brixton. But even the torrential rain in south London has not stopped them and four local teams from turning out to help launch a programme that will provide girls and young women from underprivileged backgrounds in the local area with a chance to play football. It is one of several initiatives established since the foundation began working in London to mark Celtic's 125th anniversary in 2013.

Andoni Iraola's side had yet to register a shot on target against the Premier League's bottom side when Kroupi controlled Amine Adli's flick on the edge of the Wolves penalty area with 12 minutes of the first half remaining. Moments later goalkeeper Jose Sa was picking the ball out of his net after being beaten by Kroupi's thunderous, looping strike, which looked set to be the game's only goal until Alex Scott doubled Bournemouth's advantage in stoppage time.
