JACK GAUGHAN: Ghosts of the Dragao were whispering. Whispering about holding midfielders and overthinking‚ whispering about Kai Havertz and gaping defences‚ whispering about throwing away matches that Manchester City had dominated. The circumstances around the 2021 Champions League final in this very stadium still haunt those of a City persuasion but not the squad. How can they? Only Phil Foden and Ruben Dias are left from that defeat by Chelsea‚ a Covid final in front of half a ground and when travelling City supporters were drowsy from the drink in the baking sun down by the River Douro. Drowsier still afterwards. Past glories and past failures cannot be on Enzo Maresca's agenda‚ carving a fresh team with a tweaked identity‚ although starting a teenager in Ayyoub Bouaddi instead of the more seasoned Elliot Anderson could easily have become a nod to Pep Guardiola's infamous decision to not operate with a conventional No 6 against Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea.

Ryan Giggs has revealed Elliot Anderson told him 'leave me alone' after the Manchester United legend attempted to convince him to join the club this summer. Daily Mail Sport reported last year that Anderson had been Man United's top midfield target for the summer transfer window‚ but had trailed rivals Man City in the race. Man City would ultimately land Anderson for £116million in the summer‚ with Man United going on to sign Youri Tielemans‚ Carlos Baleba and Andrey Santos in their midfield overhaul.

Manchester City midfielder Rodri is waiting for Real Madrid president Florentino Perez to give the green light for his proposed return to Spain. City have already signed Elliot Anderson and are working on a deal for Lille midfield prodigy Ayyoub Bouaddi‚ mindful that Rodri and his representatives have still to accept terms on the new contract they offered in April. The 30-year-old‚ who has one year left on his City deal‚ is keen on a return to Madrid and there is growing support for the move on the back of him leading Spain to World Cup glory.

Graeme Souness did not hold back in criticising Declan Rice and Elliot Anderson in the hours that followed England's heartbreaking World Cup defeat to Argentina on Wednesday. Both midfielders played key roles throughout the Three Lions' travails Stateside‚ starting every match together under Thomas Tuchel to reach the semi-final.

A new camera angle has called into question whether Enzo Fernandez - who equalised against England to spark Argentina's late comeback - should have been on the pitch after his rough handling of Elliot Anderson. The £106million Chelsea midfielder filled England fans with dread with his long-range strike pulling Argentina level in the 85th minute. Staring down the barrel of extra time with the two teams locked at 1-1‚ Lautaro Martinez then snuffed out the Three Lions' faint hope of making their first World Cup final since 1966 with his 92nd-minute winner.

England star Marc Guehi appeared to hit out at England's second-half tactics after the Three Lions lost their slender lead to be knocked out of the World Cup by Argentina on Wednesday. Anthony Gordon had opened the scoring in the 55th minute after the Three Lions were put through an attritional first-half which saw midfield stars such as Jude Bellingham and Elliot Anderson repeatedly targeted with fouls. But with 10 minutes plus injury time left to play‚ Thomas Tuchel made a raft of defensive changes which allowed little room for England to extend their goal cushion.

New evidence - direct from the World Cup stadium spidercam - now proves that Jude Bellingham's controversial first goal against Norway was right to stand after all‚ despite the claims of the Norwegian players. Norway had insisted that a goal kick from their goalkeeper Orjan Nyland struck one of the mid-air cables that supports the overhead spidercam before falling to England's Elliot Anderson‚ who went on to pass to Anthony Gordon to set up Bellingham's goal. That scenario should have seen play stopped and the goal disallowed. But FIFA has reviewed videos from various angles and Daily Mail Sport has seen footage which shows a natural flight path of the ball.

The Manchester City forward was followed by his former footballer father throughout the World Cup‚ and Alf Inge‚ who played for the likes of Manchester City and Leeds in the Premier League during his career‚ made his thoughts known during and after the game. Haaland Sr took to X to congratulate 'Bellingham and the referee' and claimed Norway were 'robbed' by French referee Clement Turpin‚ who denied Norway a second goal after a VAR review in which Haaland Jr was adjudged to have fouled Elliot Anderson.
