Salzburg will have to do what no other Austrian side has done before at Milan to qualify for the Champions League knockout stages, while Jude Bellingham has his eyes on an achievement managed by only two players previously.

The Rossoneri need only a point from the game at San Siro and the historical facts suggest they will achieve their aim to make it out of Group E.

For Bellingham, he can put his name in the record books alongside former team-mate Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe by scoring for Borussia Dortmund at Copenhagen.

There is plenty to play for as the Champions League group stage wraps up on Wednesday, and Stats Perform has trawled through the data to shine a light on the most interesting angles.

Former England manager Fabio Capello believes Wayne Rooney deserves to get a call up for Euro 2016 despite his indifferent club form. 

Rooney has scored seven times in 23 Premier League appearances for Manchester United this season, while the likes of Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy have set the competition alight with their efforts in front of goals. 

Kane (24 goals) and Vardy (22) have led title challenges for Tottenham and Leicester City respectively, while Dele Alli (10) has also emerged as one of England s brightest talents playing for Spurs. 

However Capello who was in charge of England between 2008 and 2012 believes Rooney is still worthy of a spot in the 23-man squad for the Euros in France. 

He is important because it’s important to have him…

Phil Foden has been named the Premier League s Player of the Year, having been sensational for Manchester City this season.

Foden has scored 17 goals and provided a further eight assists in the top flight in 2023-24.

The 23-year-old has been pivotal in City s quest to win an unprecedented fourth Premier League title.

Pep Guaridola s team head into their final game of the season, in which they face West Ham at home, needing a win to guarantee the crown.

Only six players have bettered Foden s goal tally, with the attacker enjoying his most profitable scoring season for City.

Foden s 17 goals have come from an expected goals figure of 10, suggesting his finishing has been way above what would have been anticipated based on the quality of chances he h…

Johanna Rytting Kaneryd s first-half goal was enough to secure Chelsea a 1-0 win over Aston Villa, getting Sonia Bompastor off to a winning start in the Women s Super League.

In a tightly contested tie that could have gone either way, the reigning champions showed their quality to earn the first three points of the WSL season.

Missy Bo Kearns almost got the first goal of Robert de Pauw s reign at Villa 13 minutes in, but was narrowly wide of netting on her debut, while Guro Reiten narrowly missed two glorious chances for the hosts.

Rytting Kaneryd scored the winner in the 36th minute – it looked like she had overrun the ball, but she expertly cut back inside to whip a lovely shot past Sabrina D Angelo into the back of the net.

Villa made a lightning-qui…

Coming under a huge amount of scrutiny out in Qatar over the winter as they failed to punch a knockout stage ticket, Belgium are getting a new era underway with Domenico Tedesco at the helm. However, while many might feel that the former Schalke boss has a job on his hands with the Red Devils’ raging squad, Saturday’s hosts did claim a welcomed boost during March’s international break. Opening their qua…

Having opened their Euro 2016 account with a 2-1 victory over Romania at Stade de France last Friday, France will be looking to show improvement in order to make it six points from a possible six at Stade Velodrome on Wednesday against Albania in their second match of the tournament.

Albania will be disappointed with their opening match and a frustrating loss to Switzerland. The Black Eagles gave their best despite playing with ten men for most of the proceedings following the dismissal of their captain Lorik Cana and Gianni De Biasi’s men will now enter the match against hosts with their backs against the wall.

Jonathan Rowe has completed a season-long loan move to Ligue 1 side Marseille after a breakthrough campaign with Norwich in the Championship.

Rowe, who made 56 appearances for the Canaries in all competitions, has signed an initial loan deal with an option to buy for £17million.

After coming through the club s academy, Rowe made his Norwich debut in a 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in the Premier League back in December 2021.

But the 21-year-old established himself as a regular under David Wagner last season, netting 12 times in 32 league outings as the Canaries reached the play-offs.

His 36 completed dribbles was a total only bettered by Gabriel Sara (40) and Borja Sainz (43) in the Norwich squad, while he also created 24 chances for his side.

Gabor Kiraly hopes the cult following behind his grey tracksuit bottoms can provide the foundation of his career after football.

The Hungary goalkeeper became the oldest player at a European Championship when, at the age of 40, he was the man between the posts for the nation s return to international football s biggest stage.

Having upset Austria and drawn with Iceland, Hungary endured a difficult match on Wednesday in Lyon, where Portugal s Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in a 3-3 draw.

But the result was good enough for Hungary to progress as group winners in their first appearance at a major finals since the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.

The national team s resurgence and Kiraly s distinctive clothing have both caught the imagination back home supporters w…
