🚨 The great-grandson of Benito Mussolini, the fascist dictator who ruled Italy during the Second World War, has made his senior debut for Lazio. 🇮🇹👀
Romano Floriani Mussolini came off the bench against Bologna on Monday, thrusting one of Italy’s most infamous surnames back into the spotlight.
He may be a right-back, but he’s certainly not as far-right as his great-grandfather. The 23-year-old has always insisted he wants the focus to remain solely on football:
🗣️ “My surname bothers other people more than me. The less said about it, the better.”

🇳🇴 Norway manager Stale Solbakken with a strong response to Folarin Balogun's red card being suspended:
🗣️ Solbakken: "It is a big mistake by FIFA. It is not a great conclusion. He got a red card and the VAR concluded that it was a red card. That means you are suspended for one game.
I think what is really bad about that situation is, if the USA beat Belgium, they will always have that extra thing about it.
The Belgians will be furious. What about the next red card? What happens there? Will some committee take it away? It’s a bad, bad, bad, bad decision that will hurt the World Cup and the United States."
