Dominik Szoboszlai was a mainstay for Liverpool last season. A brilliant, selfless presser, an unsung hero of a No. 10. Him getting shunted around all over the shop highlights much of what's wrong with the champions right now.

Dominik Szoboszlai is the victim of Arne Slot's Galactico fumble at Liverpool | Sporting News United Kingdom

Dominik Szoboszlai has variously been Liverpool's best central midfielder, attacking midfielder and right-back this season. He is being shunted around to accommodate Arne Slot's flailing star players.

Ricky's funeral today. So many of the tributes have understandably jumped from Tszyu to Mayweather, but that bit in the middle was golden. Four wins, three world titles across two divisions. A long read on those days of possibility. What a ride.

50 years since the Thrilla in Manila and the first landmark anniversary with neither man here. The greatest heavyweight title fight of all time, maybe Ali's greatest win. But hard to celebrate like the Rumble in the Jungle because it was so brutally dark.

The Thrilla in Manila, remembered: The brutal, bleak brilliance of Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier III | Sporting News United Kingdom

Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier's trilogy encounter in Manila in 1975 is the consensus greatest heavyweight title fight of all time. The darkness of what both men endured makes it hard to celebrate.

Monaco vs. City tonight. Those games in 2017 were incredible and among the most shaping of Guardiola's tenure. The 5-3 is still probably the best game I've ever seen live.
