Former Real Madrid forward Antonio Cassano has advised Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo to consider calling it a day on his career, as per Mirror. Cassano believes that the Portuguese captain is not playing at the level he was at when he was contending for trophies and honors. The Red Devils attacker has made eight appearances this season, scoring just one goal. Cassano told the English newspaper that Cristiano Ronaldo should consider retirement amidst his difficult start to the campaign, saying: "At this point, Cristiano should do himself a favour and understand that if you don't reach a certain level, you should close the shop. He won everything, he was a phenomenon. Stop! You have to stop or you'll only run into the bench." He has won five Ballon's d'Or, five UEFA Champions League trophies, the UEFA European Championship, and three Premier League titles, among other honors. However, the pressure is now mounting on the veteran striker to find a form for both club and country. Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag dropped the Portuguese following his performance in the side's demoralizing 4-0 defeat to Brentford on August 13. The Red Devils won four games on the bounce following that decision, with many believing he should not be starting for the Premier League club. Despite this, Ronaldo vowed to carry on playing into 2024 with Portugal at the European Championships this past week.

It is no secret that Juventus is struggling in the striking line this season, but a new statistical analysis shows nobody in Serie A or in Europe’s top five leagues completes fewer goals than the Allegri’s side until now. The new statistical analysis published by "Opta" network showed that the Bianconeri suffers from a catastrophic figure that Juve may have witnessed for the first time in years. The Bianconeri have managed only two wins, four draws, and a 1-0 defeat to Monza so far this season in the top flight. The biggest worry is upfront, as they have scored only nine goals and conceded five. Allegri has been criticized for his playing style, which often leaves Dusan Vlahovic painfully isolated upfront, but now the statistics make it clear quite how bad the situation is for the Serbian striker.

The latest reports from Spain revealed that Barcelona coach Xavi is reportedly planning on making some changes to his starting XI for the team’s next game changes to the starting lineup in the Champions League to accommodate Lionel Messi next season. Xavi described the idea of Messi coming back to Camp Nou one year after his departure as "impossible" at the moment because of his PSG contract, but he admitted that his outlook could change in the future. "It doesn't make sense to speak about Messi. He is the best player in the world and the best ever," Xavi told reporters. "The president has already said that he hopes Messi's story has not finished with Barcelona. We will see in the future, but it's not the moment to speak about Leo, it's the moment to talk about the exciting players we have here." The famous Catalan journalist Gerard Romero was speaking when he claimed that plans to return Messi to the Camp Nou are underway and that Xavi is leading this campaign. The journalist added that the Spaniard is ready to do anything possible to comfort the Argentine and ensure his retirement at Camp Nou. Xavi talked about Messi's comeback earlier this year, but he is waiting for the Argentine's contract with Paris Saint-Germain to expire.
