Our former striker took part in a charity game between Beta Squad and AMP in aid of The Water Project.
The 34-year-old scored the final goal of the match that tied the scoreline at 6-6 before a pitch invasion at Selhurst Park ende d the game prematurely, meaning that a winner could not be found.
It’s been a while since we’ve been able to witness the famous celebration of the Champions League winner and it’s safe to say that it doesn’t get old!

Man City’s pursuit of superstar goalkeeper progresses with fee agreed
Manchester City’s search for a new first-choice goalkeeper has moved forward, with negotiations for Paris Saint-Germain’s Gianluigi Donnarumma advancing. According to Fabrizio Romano, a fee of €30–35M ($34.8-40.6M) is under discussion, reduced from PSG’s initial €50M ($58M) valuation. Donnarumma, 26, has been PSG’s No. 1 since arriving from AC Milan in 2021, but the Champions League holders are prepared to sanction his departure with one year remaining on his current deal. The French club has already secured Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier in a deal worth around €40m plus add-ons, ensuring cover is in place should Donnarumma leave. The Italy international is also understood to be open to the move, with personal terms agreed in principle. City’s progress, however, is contingent on the future of Ederson. The Brazilian has been a cornerstone of Pep Guardiola’s side since 2017, winning six Premier League titles, the Champions League and numerous domestic trophies. Galatasaray is currently in talks to sign him, with an opening bid of around €10M ($11.6M) lodged. City is expected to demand closer to €25M ($29M) before approving a deal. How quickly Donnarumma is unveiled as a City player will depend on those negotiations. While the pursuit is said to be “progressing,” officials remain cautious until Ederson’s situation is resolved. From a tactical standpoint, Donnarumma represents a shift. At 6-foot-5, his presence and shot-stopping qualities are well known, but unlike Ederson, he is not regarded as an elite distributor. Guardiola’s build-up play has long relied on the Brazilian’s ability with the ball at his feet, raising questions about how the manager might adapt should the change go through. Those questions grew louder after James Trafford’s costly error in City’s 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, a mistake that highlighted the club’s vulnerability in goal despite Trafford’s big-money summer arrival. Donnarumma’s pedigree, though, is beyond doubt. He has earned more than 70 caps for Italy, won Euro 2020 as Player of the Tournament and played a key role in multiple title-winning campaigns at both Milan and PSG. His addition would rank among the summer’s most notable transfers, reinforcing City’s intent to refresh its squad while maintaining dominance at the top of English and European football. For now, everything hinges on Ederson. But with PSG willing to sell and Donnarumma eager to join, City look increasingly well-placed to secure another marquee signing for Guardiola’s side.
Steelers May Immediately Pursue One Of Aaron Rodgers' Former Targets To Boost Offense
Giants to waive fan favorite QB
The Giants’ trio of new quarterbacks has pushed Tommy DeVito off the roster. New York is moving on, as first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. DeVito has made 12 appearances and eight starts across the past two seasons, but the Giants’ actions this offseason led to the expectation he would wind up on the wrong side of the roster bubble. New York added Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston in free agency before selecting Jaxson Dart in the first round of the draft. Each of those three signal-callers will be on the team’s 53-man roster, Dianna Russini of The Athletic confirms. DeVito’s showings during his regular season appearances as well as New York’s preseason finale last Thursday could make him an attractive option on the waiver wire. Teams will be able to put in a claim through Wednesday, the first day in which practice squads will be formed. If DeVito, 27, passes through waivers, he will become a free agent. As NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo notes, DeVito was the subject of trade talks in recent days. Winston has also been the target of a potential deal, but the Giants are prepared to move forward with the former No. 1 pick in a depth capacity. Wilson will handle starting duties to begin the year with Dart looming as a potential replacement depending on how the early portion of the campaign shakes out. This time of year often brings about shuffling at the QB position, and it will be interesting to see how strong DeVito’s market turns out to be. The Raiders found themselves in need of an addition, but their vacancy was filled with the Kenny Pickett trade. The Patriots, meanwhile, have only two passers in the organization at the moment. New England thus represents a candidate for a waiver claim or a free agent push in the event DeVito hits the market.
Steelers nearly completed trade with Saints before making roster move
The Pittsburgh Steelers had to begin to determine the final roster for the 2025 season after the team played its final preseason game against the Carolina Panthers on Thursday. This is always a tough time of year for all 32 organizations across the NFL, as difficult roster decisions need to be made. One of those that the Steelers had to make came at punter, as the franchise had to decide between Cameron Johnston and Corliss Waitman for the starting job. On Monday, Pittsburgh made the move to release Johnston, which meant that Waitman had won the starting punting job in Pittsburgh. This was a bit of a surprise as it felt like most fans believed Johnston would win the job, but the two had a stark difference in what they were being paid. Waitman made significantly less, and the production from the two players was not all that different. Before releasing Johnston, Pittsburgh seemed to shop their punters around the league as the franchise looked to trade one of them. According to Adam Schefter, a deal almost got done with the New Orleans Saints. Fans wanted to see the organization find a way to move its extra specialists for additional draft capital. The Steelers probably felt comfortable starting either Johnston or Waitman at punter, so whichever one could bring in more value in a trade was going to be dealt. A trade didn't materialize, and Johnston was released. Had Pittsburgh and New Orleans come to an agreement on a deal, it is hard to imagine the Steelers would have been able to bring in anything higher than a sixth or seventh round pick for the punter. However, all draft capital is good. Both Waitman and Johnston are good enough to be starters in the NFL, but no team carries two punters. The Steelers were able to save money by releasing Johnston, and Waitman is due roughly $2 million less than the former Steeler. Play certainly factored into the decision to release Johnston, but it seems like it was mainly a business decision as Pittsburgh was able to create some more flexibility against the cap. Waitman filled in for Johnston after the punter suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 1, and played well throughout the rest of the year.
Vikings–Panthers Adam Thielen talks face cutdown-day clock: Is a deal coming?
The NFL's 53-man roster deadline arrives at 3 p.m. CT Tuesday and logic says the Minnesota Vikings would like to know where they stand on Adam Thielen before cutting any wide receivers currently on the roster, who might otherwise make the team if a deal for Thielen can't be completed. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Vikings and Carolina Panthers have "tried to work out a trade" that would bring Thielen back to Minnesota, "but the two sides continue to struggle to agree on compensation." Schefter adds that Thielen "would like to return to Minnesota," where he played nine seasons after growing up in Detroit Lakes, Minn. and then starred at Division II Minnesota State University in Mankato before making it with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent in 2014. Insiders, including Mike Kaye of the Charlotte Observer, have reported that Carolina is seekings a legitimate Day 3 draft pick for Thielen, whose $6.25 million base salary in 2025 will also have to be sorted out. Will the Vikings pick up the entire tab or ask Carolina to eat some of his salary?

They've stockpiled late-round draft picks by trading defensive tackle Harrison Phillips to the Jets, quarterback Sam Howell to the Eagles, and cornerback Mehki Blackmon to the Colts. Minnesota general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah now has a cupboard full of picks for the 2026 draft. 1st round 2nd round 3rd round 3rd round (projected comp pick for Sam Darnold) 4th round (projected comp pick for Daniel Jones) 5th round 5th round (from the Eagles) 5th round (projected comp pick for Cam Robinson) 6th round (from the Colts) 7th round 7th round (from the Texans Adding a wide receiver of their liking before Tuesday's 3 p.m. roster deadline would be ideal. As it stands now, the only wide receivers guaranteed to make the team are Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, Jalen Nailor and perhaps rookie Tai Felton. That leaves the fates of Lucky Jackson, Tim Jones, Jeshaun Jones, Myles Price (who has flashed as a kick and punt returner), Thayer Thomas and Dontae Fleming up in the air. Without adding a receiver before the cutdown deadline, the last wide receiver to make the 53-man roster would likely be on the roster on borrowed time until Minnesota adds a more proven name. What if the Vikings can't find a solution for Thielen? According to Alec Lewis of The Athletic, a couple of names worth monitoring could be Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Robert Woods, who might not make the 53-man roster, and Odell Beckham Jr., who is a free agent. Both have experience in Kevin O'Connell's offense and would be somewhat seamless additions to help fill the void while Nailor is out with a hand injury and Addison is serving a three-game suspension to begin the season.
