🤑😭🙂 River Plate ran out 8-1 winners against Alianza Lima with Alvarez proving why he was one of the most sought after young strikers on the planet. It was confirmed earlier this year that the Argentine would be joining the Premier League champions, but City deemed it better for his development to send him back to River Plate.

🤑😭🙂 A delighted Jose Mourinho took in the wild celebrations from overjoyed Roma players and fans after sealing Europa Conference League glory. The Portuguese became only the second manager to win five major European titles after the Serie A side beat Feyenoord 1-0 in Tirana on Wednesday night. Scenes of jubilation broke out in the Albanian and Italian capital cities after Nicolo Zaniolo's goal earned Roma a first major European title in more than 60 years. The post includes a video of Roma players banging the roof and sides of the bus while blasting out a chant for goalkeeping coach Nuno Santos, who goes over to join in with the players' celebrations. Another video shows the Portuguese unwrapping a gift from his daughter. The present from Matilde Mourinho to her father is from her jewellery line, having the date and opponent on a night Jose will never forget inscribed on it. The 59-year-old then proceeds to put the bracelet on before giving a delighted thumbs up and shake of the fist to the camera.

🤑😭🙂 The Giallorossi defeated Feyenoord 1-0 in the inaugural final of the Europa Conference League in Tirana, Albania, thanks to Nicolo Zaniolo's well-taken first half effort. Jose Mourinho's win with Roma over the Dutch outfit claimed the club's first ever Uefa trophy, and saw the Portuguese become the first manager to complete the full Uefa set.

🤑😭🙂 The Giallorossi were looking to see out a 1-0 win against an increasingly adventurous Feyenoord side and the England striker bought his defenders some much-needed breathing space with some intelligent forward play when he was brought down. With the cameras focused in on Roma's top scorer this season, Abraham looked to the bench while clutching his shin before winking towards his bench.

🤑😭🙂 Tom Brady sure knows how to stop the internet in its tracks. Whether that be by predictably announcing his u-turn on retirement to come back to the NFL or, in this instance, posting a golf shot people believe is simply too good to be true.  The Buccaneers quarterback and seven-time Super Bowl champion published a video of a stunning golf shot on social media on Wednesday which immediately saw sceptics among his 2.7million followers labelling the video as 'fake' and 'clickbait'.  Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen quickly poured doubt on it, labelling it as 'bulls***', after Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes appeared to endorse Brady's heroics.

🤑😭🙂 PETE JENSON: Kylian Mbappe has rejected Real Madrid for the third time, but the difference now is that Vinicius Junior has finally arrived at the top table of world football. He can fill void left by Mbappe's no show. Mbappe would have likely taken the Brazilian's left-sided berth but, now, the position is Vinicius' for as long as he wants it.

🤑😭🙂 Roll up, roll up... welcome to the last night of the Gareth Bale show. One of football's most curious episodes, featuring the Welsh wizard and the world's most prestigious football club, will draw to an end with this Saturday's Champions League final. It could easily be the case that Bale's Real Madrid swansong is a whole load of nothing. Carlo Ancelotti could simply leave him out of his matchday squad and Bale won't even travel to Paris. Yet, as Ancelotti ponders his team selection this week, there will be a big part of him tempted to pick Bale given the moments of magic he has produced on this stage in the past. They include the extra time goal in 2014 that put Real ahead for the first time in their final with city rivals Atletico and the astonishing overhead kick he produced against Liverpool in the 2018 showpiece. They were the good times for Bale at the Bernabeu. More recently it's been all injuries and insults, with the fans questioning his loyalty, quite a lot of golf and the Spanish media branding him a 'parasite'.

🤑😭🙂 PETE JENSON: He could win his fifth Champions League with Real Madrid on Saturday and if he does, a first Ballon d'Or will surely follow. But Karim Benzema could easily have ended up at Manchester United in 2009 instead of Spain. Back when Real Madrid rarely lost out on a transfer target, they battled with Sir Alex Ferguson for a 21-year-old who France Football magazine had dubbed 'Zinaldo' because he had Zinedine Zidane's technique and was as prolific as Brazil striker Ronaldo. Zidane helped Madrid get their man, advising president Florentino Perez to visit him in the Bron neighbourhood of Lyon where he had grown up.

🤑😭🙂 Former heavyweight world champion Deontay Wilder has not stepped foot on the canvas since his devastating 11th-round knockout defeat to Tyson Fury during their trilogy bout last year. However, the Bronze Bomber has said his 'journey's not over' and that he 'can't stop now' as 'the business of boxing needs' him to be successful.

🤑😭🙂 TOM COLLOMOSSE: Aston Villa's victory over Bayern Munich in the European Cup final in Rotterdam on this day, 1982 is immortalised on a banner in the North Stand at Villa Park. 'Shaw, Williams prepared to adventure down the left, there's a good ball played in for Tony Morley… Oh, it must be!... And it is! Peter Withe!' - Brian Moore's commentary provided the soundtrack to the moment that would define these players' lives but there was a richness and depth to this 40-year-old story that went far beyond those unforgettable words.

🤑😭🙂 The Premier League striker got down on one knee for long-time girlfriend Lucia Loi (couple pictured right) yesterday, less than a week after United ended their season in defeat to Crystal Palace. The pair, both aged 24, have been dating since the age of 15 when they were pupils at Ashton on Mersey school in Greater Manchester. Rashford had been planning the proposal for weeks and popped the question to Lucia at a lavish villa after they shared a romantic meal at celebrity seafood restaurant Catch LA. A source told The Sun: 'They went out in LA for a romantic night together on Tuesday and he proposed. It was extremely romantic.' Rashford shared news of the engagement on Instagram, posting an image of the pair embracing as they stood atop a bed of white roses in front of a heart-shaped archway (left)

🤑😭🙂 With the demotion of Burnley, Watford and Norwich formalised on the Premier League's final day on Sunday, attention will quickly turn to reshaping their squads ahead of next season. Despite the financial boost of parachute payments for the relegated trio, it is likely to be a busy summer of ins and outs, with the new second-tier sides likely hoping to cut several high earners from the wage bill and raise funds for a promotion push. Clarets defender James Tarkowski (centre), Hornets forward Emmanuel Dennis (left) and Norwich star Max Aarons (right) are among the biggest names linked with moves to other Premier League sides in this summer's transfer window. Tarkowski could spark a transfer tug of war between Everton and Fulham, Dennis is interesting West Ham and Manchester United icon Rio Ferdinand urged the Red Devils to sign Aarons - and they may not be the only stars on the move. So, Sportsmail looks at the stars who could get poached by the big boys this summer.

🤑😭🙂 Many were keen to quickly jet off to start their relaxation time on holiday and Joao Cancelo (left) could not look happier aboard a private jet to homeland Portugal on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka (right) was in the US to watch Boston Celtics take on Miami Heat in the NBA on Tuesday evening. Elsewhere, Ben Chilwell (inset) posted a video of himself doing some keepy-ups on a beach, as the Chelsea left back enjoyed the beautiful surroundings.

🤑😭🙂 Erik ten Hag has requested a comprehensive profile of his Manchester United squad before meeting them personally, including where the players jet off to for their summer break. The Dutchman built a growing reputation in Ajax for a meticulous style of management and did not need a second invitation to stamp down his authority at Old Trafford. Beyond propelling the Red Devils further up the Premier League table next season, the 52-year-old coach is expected to instill a winning culture at the football club, following a decade of relative turmoil since the Sir Alex Ferguson era.

🤑😭🙂 The Reds face Real Madrid at the Stade de France, Paris on Saturday night hoping to complete a trophy treble of the Carabao Cup, FA Cup and Champions League. And as reported by the Sun, Jurgen Klopp's players have been using brain sensors in the hope the cutting-edge technology from a German neuroscientist could give them an edge in the European showpiece. Klopp is aiming to outmanoeuvre their Real counterparts with the forward-thinking technology, the brainchild of Dr Niklas Hausler and his business partner Patrick Hantschke. Liverpool engaged the company neuro11 - of which Hausler and Hantschke are co-founders - to help players get 'in the zone' when they play. Pictures of the Reds in training show full backs Trent Alexander-Arnold (second right) and Kostas Tsimikas (left) sporting the gear.

🤑😭🙂 Another Premier League season has come and gone and with that it is also time to wave goodbye to our Power Rankings for another season. After 38 matchdays of twists and turns, Manchester City pipped Liverpool to the Premier League title, while London rivals Chelsea and Tottenham made the other two Champions League places. Arsenal and Man United will play in the Europa League next season while West Ham will compete in the Europa Conference League. At the other end of the table, Burnley, Watford and Norwich were all relegated.

🤑😭🙂 The domestic season has come to an end and by the time the 2022/23 campaign begins the 2022 World Cup will be right around the corner.  The first-ever winter edition of the tournament gets underway on November 21, interrupting the domestic campaign to do so, with the final taking place under a month later on December 18. The group stage draw has come and gone, with eight sets of four teams set to compete in Qatar in the final time we'll see a 32-team format at the World Cup, with a 48-team format set to be introduced in 2026.
