Cristiano Ronaldo's relationship with new Al Nassr boss Ange Postecoglou already appears to be under scrutiny just three matches into the season. Al Nassr completed a remarkable comeback from two goals down to beat rivals Al Ettifaq 3-2 on Tuesday‚ but it was no thanks to Ronaldo‚ who earns an astronomical £488‚000 a day‚ that the reigning champions claimed all three points. The visitors appeared to be heading for defeat after enduring a disastrous first half which saw goalkeeper Bento sent off in the 12th minute for a challenge on former Fulham striker Moussa Dembele after rushing out of his box.

Premier League champions Arsenal kicked off the new season in style‚ cruising to a 3-0 victory over newly-promoted Coventry at the Emirates.

This wasn't just a victory to start the season - this was a statement of intent.

OLIVER HOLT: The curtain will rise at the Principality Stadium on Sunday afternoon and the champions will walk out on to the stage ahead of the Community Shield. Arsenal 's cast will not look radically different. There will be a few extras and one or two new stars but nothing dramatic. There has been no need for drama. Just steady growth. Arsenal did not need to have a spectacular summer in the transfer market. It was important that they strengthened from a position of strength and they have started that process calmly by recruiting Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle. With two weeks of the window remaining‚ there is an argument that it is the best signing of the close season so far. Other arrivals are being discussed. The champions need reinforcements in defence where long-term injuries to William Saliba and Jurrien Timber are a concern and have led to an as-yet fruitless pursuit of Aston Villa 's Ezri Konsa.

TOM COLLOMOSSE IN SALZBURG: The UEFA Super Cup belongs to Paris Saint-Germain but Aston Villa left Salzburg with something far more precious than a piece of pre-season silverware. Between them‚ teenagers Brian Madjo and George Hemmings have made just six competitive appearances for Villa. Yet both frightened the life out of the back-to-back Champions League winners and on this evidence‚ they will be given plenty more opportunities by Unai Emery. They may have sold £150million worth of talent in Morgan Rogers‚ Youri Tielemans and Lucas Digne since winning the Europa League and have doubts over the future of other key players. There is nothing quite like teenagers stepping up to the mark‚ though‚ and their performances will give Villa plenty of encouragement ahead of their Premier League opener at Brighton on August 23.

HARRY BAMFORTH: 'You don't want to make me cry‚ because I don't want.' Then there is a long pause as an uncomfortable Jose Mourinho looks around‚ taps the table‚ and attempts to suppress his emotions. This is Mourinho as we have never seen him before. The 63-year-old had just been asked about how he processed the death of his father while he was manager of Manchester United in 2017. He fights back the tears for as long as he can‚ battling to keep his enigmatic personal persona intact. This is something that Mourinho tries to do throughout his new hit three-part docu-series on Netflix . The legendary manager wants to give football fans an insight into his outrageously successful career on the touchline‚ which has seen him win 26 major trophies across England‚ Spain‚ Portugal and Italy‚ rather than delve into his private life.

JACK GAUGHAN IN SEOUL: The manager's office is no more. Converted into a meeting room these days‚ one still filled by an aura of the guy who bid a teary farewell three months ago. Those walls can talk and Enzo Maresca would rather do his just down the corridor instead. Maresca‚ the new Manchester City boss‚ has taken up permanent residence in the office previously held by a Pep of the Lijnders vintage rather than Guardiola. The decision‚ one of his first in the chair‚ represents a literal embodiment of the reset that Maresca has been preaching to his players during pre-season in Asia.

Alexander Isak has done very little to justify his British record transfer fee after moving from Newcastle United to Liverpool for £125million last summer. In fairness‚ he's been plagued by injuries - breaking his leg just three months into his Liverpool career. But even when he did feature‚ he looked like a shadow of his former self - beleaguered by the weight of his transfer fee and suffering from a lack of sharpness.

LEWIS STEELE IN TENNESSEE: With just a month to go‚ Liverpool are already in something of a defensive crisis. If the opener was to be tomorrow‚ they would have just captain Virgil van Dijk as the only senior option - and he has not begun pre-season work yet having been given an extended break following the World Cup. Liverpool have two youngsters who they believe are two of the best defensive talents in world football. But they have zero Premier League minutes between them and - you guessed it - are both out of action right now.
