  • German publication SportBild have revealed the secret weapon which is fuelling Liverpool’s title charge: a special mineral drink developed by a former world champion swimmer.

    That run has got fans excited that the Reds can win the league title for the first time since 1990, with Jurgen Klopp’s men looking like the most likely challengers to Manchester City into the New Year.

    The outpouring of sadness that greets footballers leaving the stage for the last time seems to be most poignant in Italy, perhaps the increased longevity, perhaps the more universal acclaim tearing up supporters more than elsewhere.

    Fans of the Azzurri may well find themselves saying farewell to another sporting legend this year, as Federica Pellegrini has intimated that she may be on the verge of hanging up her swimming costume one final time.

    “My heart is telling me to stop after too many personal disappointments out of the pool,” she recently confessed, “on the other hand, my head wants me to continue. By Autumn I will decide what to do with my life permanently.”
