Inside Benfica's talent factory: From Goncalo Ramos to Ruben Dias

Manchester City stars Erling Haaland and Ruben Dias spoke furtively following their international clash - just days after the club's guilty verdict in their battle against the Premier League. Dias covered his mouth while Haaland shook his head in the aftermath of Portugal's Nations League win over Norway on Sunday night.

IAN LADYMAN: If Enzo Maresca is lucky we will one day look back and ask when it was we finally felt he had truly taken hold of Pep Guardiola's Manchester City and claimed it as his own. If he is really lucky and if he does enough and wins enough to stick around for the long-term‚ then we may reflect on derby day in September 2026 as the day we finally drew a line under the years of Guardiola genius. So far it's been a slow burn for Maresca at City and that's because Guardiola still has his name and his principles running right through this City team. Phil Foden‚ Erling Haaland‚ Ruben Dias‚ Rayan Cherki. It's impossible not to see the great Catalan in so much of what they do.

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.

Ruben Dias vows Man City response after Arsenal defeat

Portugal star Ruben Dias was involved in an awkward live television interview just moments after his nation was eliminated from the FIFA World Cup. The Portugal and Manchester City defender fronted up for a chat in the minutes that followed the 1-0 last-16 exit at the hands of Spain and it became a far more tense chat than anticipated. Dias was in conversation with former Portugal international Ricardo Quaresma who‚ to put it bluntly‚ was in no mood for excuses served up by Dias.

The Iberians were dumped out cruelly as Arsenal's Mikel Merino came off the bench to score a stoppage-time winner - but many felt Portugal had only themselves to blame. Cristiano Ronaldo's sixth World Cup ended in tears and intense criticism‚ manager Roberto Martinez has resigned‚ and Ruben Dias stormed out of a post-match interview.
