Paris Saint-Germain 1-1 Rennes

Some welcome news for supporters of Portugal and Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday evening, as full-back Nuno Mendes made his long-awaited comeback after ten months out of action.

Gonçalo Ramos’ stoppage-time penalty earned PSG a point in the French capital, but the appearance of Mendes was one of the leading talking points, especially for Seleção fans ahead of the European Championships.

Manchester United 1-2 Fulham

Fulham recorded their first victory at Old Trafford in over twenty years on Saturday as Marco Silva’s men earned a dramatic late three points over Manchester United in the Premier League.

The Cottagers got their reward for an impressive second-half performance at the Theatre of Dreams, giving Silva his first-ever win at the stadium despite the absence of suspended Portugal midfielder João Palhinha.

In 2019, a teenage football prodigy left his home team in a record-breaking transfer. Of course, we’re talking about João Félix, the Portuguese sensation who danced through defences with the grace of a seasoned maestro. He made headlines 2019 when he moved from Benfica to Atlético Madrid in exchange for a record-breaking fee of €126 million. This made him the 4th most-expensive footballer in history and the second-most-expensive teenage player ever to be traded.

But the burning question remains: after half a decade, was João Félix worth that monumental investment? 

Fulham vice-chairman Tony Khan has been discussing the future of inspirational Portuguese international João Palhinha, as speculation again mounts over a big move for the midfielder at the end of the season.

Palhinha has been in tremendous form again for Marco Silva’s side in the Premier League this term, having been denied an expected move to Bayern Munich at the close of last summer’s transfer window.
