Paraguay have been branded a 'disgrace' and 'embarrassing' for the dirty tactics they used in their 1-0 World Cup defeat by France. Going up against the tournament favourites‚ the Paraguayans used every trick in the book to try and provoke their opponents‚ repeatedly fouling‚ faking injury and trying to wind up Les Bleus with overly aggressive conduct. They scuffed up the penalty spot‚ elbowed Dayot Upamecano in the ribs‚ palmed Jules Kounde's face‚ tried to get Michael Olise sent off with outrageous play-acting and somehow ended up without a single booking.

Barcelona's Jules Kounde takes to social media to call out ‘lie' over Ronald Araujo situation

The Spanish press have been ruthless in their assessment of Barcelona's performance against Chelsea after Hansi Flick and Co endured a Champions League night to forget at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday evening. The hosts were at the visitors' throats from moments after kick-off‚ with Chelsea finding the back of the net in just the fourth minute‚ only to see their strike ruled out. The breakthrough came finally in the 27th minute via a shambolic Jules Kounde own goal‚ and following the dismissal of Ronaldo Araujo after the visiting star picked up a second yellow for a clumsy challenge on Marc Cucurella‚ Flick's side looked unable to lay a glove on Enzo Maresca's players.

Wayne Rooney hailed the Blues star as 'absolutely incredible' after Chelsea 's 3-0 Champions League demolition of Barcelona at Stamford Bridge. The former England captain singled out the left-back for special praise after he locked down teenage sensation Lamine Yamal and helped drive a statement victory. The Blues beat the LaLiga champions thanks to a Jules Kounde own goal and second-half strikes from Estevao and Liam Delap.
