As we kiss goodbye to another International break and relish the return of domestic action, we look back at 10 things you might have missed from the world of football this week, including some amazing penalty action, Bale doing his best to get away from Madrid, and Messi just doing Messi stuff. But there’s only one place to start this week, right?
The Fast And The Furious Poch – Charting the emotional departure of Mauricio Pochettino.

Priorities – Bale venting after being treated like dirt for the last couple of years. Fair enough.

17th Time Lucky – Taunton Town and Truro City needed 34 spot-kicks to separate them after drawing 2-2 in the Southern League Challenge Cup second round, equalling the record set in an EFL Trophy match between Chelsea's under-23 side and Oxford United in 2016.
David Is Goliath – We've seen things like this before, and yes, we get that kids mature at different rates around this age, but come on...
Tidy Messi – For anyone questioning whether Messi still has the desire and ability to play for his country, sit down and admire.
Lost In Translation – Unai Emery still struggling with the complexities of the English language.
And we're done. Did we say 10? Close enough...
