Chiellini, 35, was more brutal when it came to assessing former Juve colleague Melo – the Brazilian midfielder who played for the Bianconeri from 2009 to 2011 before eventually joining Serie A rivals Inter.

Even worse was Felipe Melo: the worst of the worst. There was always a fight with him. I also told the managers: he s a rotten apple, Chiellini wrote.

Melo – who now plays for Palmeiras – told Gazzetta dello Sport: It would be interesting to know what incident he s referring to. I don t have a problem responding to him.

I never disrespected anyone in Turin, but he says that Balotelli deserved a slap and that I was the worst of the worst and that the

He always pissed himself. I m …

While Steve Cooper’s men might have failed …

Everton have had their penalty for breaching Premier League financial rules reduced to six points following an appeal.

The Toffees were hit with a 10-point deduction last November after an independent commission found they had exceeded permitted losses under the league’s profitability and sustainability rules (PSR) by £19.5million over an assessment period ending with the 2021-22 season.

An independent appeal board has now cut that by four points, which moves the club on to 25 points in the table and up to 15th place.

France continued their 100% record at their home Olympics as they defeated Argentina 1-0 to advance to the semi-finals.

Crystal Palace s Jean-Phillipe Mateta headed in from a cross from his former club-mate Michael Olise five minutes in, and that ultimately proved enough for Thierry Henry s men to progress.

VAR disallowed France a second late on, but Argentina could not make their fortune count before tempers boiled over between the players at the final whistle.

Argentina came out on top in the 2022 World Cup final between these great footballing nations, and there were an equal amount of thrills and spills this time around.

Mateta s early goal set the tone for a dominant display from Les Bleus in the first half, with Enzo Millot going close before Geroni…

I know about the history of young players at Manchester United and feel i…
