Trent Alexander-Arnold laid out his ambitions to one day captain Liverpool.

"I am not shy in saying that [being captain] is a dream for me. Whether it comes true or not is not up to me; I don't pick who is captain. But that is something I would love to do one day. Captaining Liverpool is something I have always dreamed of and it is something that motivates me," said the 21-year-old fullback.

Alexander-Arnold explained how he was discovered by Liverpool, adding that he felt he was destined to be at the club.

Alexander-Arnold is one short of making 100 appearances for the club.

"It was a normal day at school coming up to half term and there was a summer camp going on at the [Liverpool] academy," he said. "They sent six or seven invites to my school. It was about encouraging young players to play football ... I went in the morning and it was within the first hours, one of the members of staff went over to my mum and said: 'Can you start bringing him two or three times a week?'"

Pep Guardiola praised the managerial ability of both Xavi and Xabi Alonso, adding that he hopes to see Xavi take over at Barcelona one day.

"Xavi was already a manager when he played. His eyes sparkled watching football. He will be a manager for sure. There are people who play and you would never say they will be managers. This is not the case. Xavi could be a manager wherever he likes, not just at Barcelona. You have to give him time. Sooner or later, he will manage Barcelona," said Guardiola.

Guardiola also had high praise for Maurizio Sarri and Thomas Tuchel.

"Sarri's Napoli, stopping them in the Champions League was torture. I also like Tuchel, when you play against him and you see his plans, you think, 'the bastard!', everything his teams are doing is thought out. He always looks to run rings around you."

Unai Emery said that Granit Xhaka was emotionally devastated after getting boo'd by Arsenal supporters over the weekend. Xhaka responded by putting his hand to his ear and taunting the crowd.

"It's not easy for him and for the team. He is now devastated, sad. He trained normally with the group but he is devastated. He is sad about that situation," said Emery.

Emery added that Xhaka should apologize to supporters.

Emery has not announced any punishment for Xhaka, including taking away the captain's armband.

Don Garber admitted his frustration with delays surrounding construction for Inter Miami's new stadium.

The club, which makes its debut next season, is expected to play its first two seasons in Ft. Lauderdale.

"There have been continuous challenges in Miami, and it's frustrating. MLS has shown such a commitment to the City of Miami, and been so patient for so many years. We've done everything we said we would do ... Now all of a sudden, there's a bunch of folks that are backtracking on some of the commitments that were made. I find it frustrating and at times infuriating. It seems as if we're getting caught up in a political mess that is not of our making. I'm very disappointed," said Garber.

Harry Kane opened up about the struggles he's faced at Tottenham this season, saying it's the most difficult year since he's been at the club.

"It's hard to put a finger on exactly what's wrong. Sometimes when you're having a run of form like this, things don't always go your way in games. It's about sticking together and if we win tomorrow night that can kick start us. It's probably the toughest time since I've been here. It's just another challenge though. The road to success will always have bumps and this is just one of them," said Kane.

Tottenham have won just 3 matches this season. The team sit seventh on the table.
