Roma open the Champions League campaign with a creditable 1-1 draw away to Fenerbahce, as Bryan Cristante's opener was cancelled out by Archie Brown.
The Giallorossi returned to the tournament after seven years and coming off three consecutive Serie A victories. Only Lorenzo Pellegrini was still out of action. Devyne Rensch was back, with Donyell Malen, Paulo Dybala and Matias Soulé.
Fenerbahce's last Champions League proper game was 18 years ago, but Matteo Guendouzi was suspended after insulting French fans during the fiery play-off with Lyon. Jayden Oosterwolde and Marco Asensio were injured, with ex-Serie A players Milan Skriniar, Romelu Lukaku and Mert Muldur in the squad, plus Mason Greenwood, who chose the Turkish side over Roma this summer.
See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog.

Khadija Shaw netted a brace while Mary Fowler was also on target as The Cityzens were victorious on opening day.
It was the visitors who almost got off to a dream start. They won a corner inside the opening 30 seconds, but Marie Levasseur saw her effort cleared off the goal-line.
Océane Hurtré then almost capitalised on a back-pass, but home keeper Ayaka Yamashita did just about enough to deal with the danger.
At the other end, Shaw met Lauren Hemp's cross, but she couldn't beat Sophie Baggaley. Hemp soon produced another cross from the left which was met by Shaw, but she was again unable to take advantage,
Manchester City captain Alex Greenwood and Aoba Fujino had further efforts on the Birmingham City goal, but Baggaley was able to produce saves on both occasions. Fowler then slipped the ball to Shaw, who looked certain to score, but Neve Herron defended well and managed to perform a block.

The North Texas Mean Green were ransacked by the transfer portal harder than almost any other college football program. After losing head coach Eric Morris to Oklahoma State, North Texas lost nearly the entirety of its production from a 12-2 team, including the nation's leading passer Drew Mestemaker and rushing touchdowns leader Caleb Hawkins.
Head coach Neal Brown, formerly of Troy and West Virginia, was tasked with reassembling a roster in Denton, TX. North Texas was one of two FBS teams returning zero starters, and instead, it brought 70 newcomers in attempt to recapture the magic of 2025.
However, the newcomer laden roster faced the ultimate test out of the gate. North Texas' first challenge was a road matchup at Indiana, immediately after the Hoosiers their 2025 National Championship banner. Indiana hadn't lost a game since 2024, and the Hoosiers' FBS-best 16-game win streak extended to 17 against the Mean Green. The reigning champions left no question in a 52-16 domination in Bloomington, IN.
Indiana made efficient work of North Texas, scoring seven touchdowns and notching one field goal on nine total possessions. TCU transfer quarterback Josh Hoover, called upon to replace Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza, collected more touchdowns (4) than incompletions (3) in a 13-of-16, 231-yard passing performance. Wide receiver Charlie Becker recorded a team-high 64 receiving yards and two touchowns in the Hoosiers' third-straight season opener win under Curt Cignetti.
North Texas also debuted a transfer quarterback, bringing UCF transfer Tayven Jackson to campus this offseason. But before spending 2025 as UCF's primary starter, Jackson played two seasons at Indiana and logged six starts. Saturday marked a homecoming for the Greenwood, IN native, who registered 192 passing yards on a 22-of-28 showing. Jackson briefly exited the game with a lower-body injury, causing East Carolina transfer Chaston Ditta to take over, but he ultimately returned and finished the day for the Mean Green.

ISTANBUL (AP) — Mattéo Guendouzi and Mason Greenwood have been charged by UEFA over alleged provocations of Lyon fans at a Champions League qualifying playoff, their club Fenerbahce said Thursday.
Both players have played for Lyon's French rival Marseille and were seen making offensive gestures last week. Fenerbahce won 2-1 in the second leg at Lyon to advance to the Champions League main phase for the first time in 18 years.
Guendouzi raised his middle finger to Lyon fans during the warmup and after the game and shouted "Allez l'OM" ("Go Marseille"), also grabbing his crotch, in wild post-match scenes. He said Lyon fans insulted his family before and during the game.
It was unclear if UEFA's disciplinary judges will sanction the players before Fenerbahce opens the Champions League main phase next Thursday, hosting Roma. Fenerbahce's second game is at Aston Villa on Oct. 14.
Fenerbahce did not specify the charges against Guendouzi and Greenwood though it said it will "protect the rights and interests" of them and the club.

Roma will make their Champions League debut on Thursday, September 10th, a week from now, away to Fenerbahçe.
The Turkish team advanced to the playoffs against Lyon and were drawn in the same round as the Giallorossi. Following the match they won against Fonseca's team, a brawl broke out on the pitch.
It was a complete mess, with mockery, physical abuse, and verbal abuse, with former Lazio player Mattéo Guendouzi among the culprits.
This is why the French midfielder and Mason Greenwood are at risk for the Champions League match against Roma. UEFA has initiated disciplinary proceedings.
Fenerbahçe announced that UEFA has initiated disciplinary proceedings against players Mattéo Guendouzi and Mason Greenwood: "Following the second leg of the UEFA Champions League play-off round, UEFA has initiated disciplinary proceedings against our club in relation to our players Mattéo Guendouzi and Mason Greenwood."

Shein Global Holdings Limited launched its global offering on Monday, selling approximately 280 million Class B shares at between HK$47.60 and HK$49.50 per share, valuing the company at close to $27 billion at the top of that range.
According to the prospectus, the total proceeds from the offering could reach HK$13.86 billion, equivalent to approximately $1.77 billion. The final price is expected to be announced August 31, with trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange set to begin September 1 under the stock code 00625.
The $27 billion valuation represents a decline of roughly 70% from the $98.2 billion private-market valuation Shein carried in 2022, and less than half the $64 billion figure investors **** igned to the company in 2023 and April 2024, according to CNBC.
A group of cornerstone investors, among them current Shein backers Boyu Capital, Tiger Global, and General Atlantic, committed to purchasing roughly $383 million in shares, according to Reuters. Tencent, Greenwoods, Taikang Life, and UBS **** et Management will also take stock. The company intends to direct approximately 80% of what it raises toward technology upgrades and broadening its international brand footprint.
The company's compressed valuation reflects a deteriorating financial trajectory. The company reported that revenue growth fell to 8% in 2025, down from 20.7% the prior year, before slowing even further to 1.1% in the first quarter of 2026. Shein posted a $99 million net loss in that quarter, reversing a $395 million profit from the same period a year earlier, after the U.S. eliminated a duty exemption on small packages from China. U.S. revenue fell 14.3% in the most recent first quarter compared with a year earlier.

Indianapolis Colts rookie Caden Curry experienced a moment he had been waiting for Saturday despite the team's 34-6 preseason loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
Curry, a Greenwood native and former Center Grove High School standout, played his first NFL game at Lucas Oil Stadium after the Colts selected him in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL draft.
"A dream come true being an Indy kid and being from the south side," Curry said after the game, per WISH-TV. "Such a great feeling to go out there and be a part of this team now and be a part of this city."
The hometown appearance came one week after Curry made a quick impact in his preseason debut against the New England Patriots. The former Ohio State defensive end finished that game with five tackles, one sack, three quarterback hits, two tackles for loss and two passes defensed.
Saturday's result vs. the Falcons made the experience bittersweet for Curry, who totaled a single tackle.

Serie A side Roma have been linked with a big move for Real Madrid's Endrick but they are now unlikely to put all their eggs in one basket.
They already made that mistake earlier this summer and missed out on both Crysencio Summerville and Mason Greenwood. A move for Antonio Nusa is also unlikely to take off.
Porto's Rodrigo Mora is emerging as a major target now.
Alfredo Pedulla has reported that Roma intend to soon submit an offer worth €45 million for the 19-year-old Porto talent.
The teenager's current release clause stands at €70 million but Porto have agreed to let him seek a move for well below that price. Roma want to invest the amount they were about to spend on Summerville and all of it could now be invested in Mora, who is also much younger.

Manchester City have reached an agreement with Olympique de Marseille for the transfer of Gerónimo Rulli (34), according to a report from Foot Mercato. City have identified the Argentina international as their preferred option to become Gianluigi Donnarumma's understudy following James Trafford's departure for Leeds United.
The Premier League club had previously submitted an opening offer worth €2m for Rulli, but Marseille rejected the proposal and demanded at least €3.5m for the goalkeeper, who has entered the final year of his contract at the Vélodrome.
Rulli's agent, Kristian Bereit, subsequently travelled to Manchester City's training ground to advance negotiations, with the English club returning with an improved offer. Foot Mercato now reports that an agreement has been reached between the two clubs, although the precise financial details have not been disclosed.
Rulli has also given his approval to the move and is attracted by the opportunity to play in the Premier League. A handful of details must still be settled with the former Montpellier goalkeeper's representatives before the transfer can be formally completed.
The Argentine joined Marseille in the summer of 2024 and has since made 73 appearances for Les Phocéens. His expected departure would see OM lose another senior member of their squad after the exits of Mason Greenwood and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.GFFN | George Boxall

Billie Eilish looked worlds away from her usual edgy style as she stepped onto the set of The Bell Jar in Toronto on Tuesday.
The 24-year-old singer was almost unrecognizable while filming the highly anticipated adaptation of Sylvia Plath's iconic novel, embracing a dramatic 1950s transformation for her first major acting role.
Ditching the oversized T-shirts and baggy trousers that have become synonymous with her personal style, Billie slipped into a navy blue ******* on-front dress layered with a striped cropped jacket and matching pillbox-style hat.
Her vintage-inspired look was completed with softly curled brunette hair, bold red lipstick and pearl earrings as she filmed scenes as Esther Greenwood, the novel's troubled 19-year-old protagonist.

In 2007, actor and comedian Robin Williams traveled to Kuwait for an appearance at Camp Arifjan.

Williams was doing his best to entertain the troops when they suddenly stopped paying attention to the stage. They immediately shifted their focus behind them to render honors as the American flag was lowered. Williams wasn't so much offended as mildly perplexed. At first, he didn't understand what was going on.

Related: Bob Hope entertained the troops from WWII to Desert Storm

Once the service members explained it to Williams, he brought it back to why he traveled 8,000 miles from home.

"Sort of reminds you why we're here, doesn't it?" Williams replied, according to a 2014 Defense Department article.

Here are seven celebrities who were committed to showing their appreciation for the United States military.

We start with the OG of military entertainers. Hope performed for troops domestically and overseas for five decades, beginning with a performance at March Field in California in 1941. Hope, whose "Road to…" films with Bing Crosby became popular with moviegoers, never tired of traveling to see troops.

His 57 tours with the United Service Organizations conveyed his appreciation to his adopted country. Born in London in 1903, Hope moved to America at an early age. He became a U.S. citizen when he was 17 years old.

"He brought such enthusiasm, brought your life back to you," Navy Seabee Ron Ronning said of Hope's last USO show during the Vietnam War in late 1972. "You felt like you were renewed."

Hope died on July 27, 2003, at the age of 100.

Lee Greenwood has "God Bless the USA," perhaps the quintessential patriotic song. Few singers, though, compiled a music catalog that honored the military quite like Keith.

The "American Soldier," "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue," and "Call a Marine" singer participated in 18 USO tours. By one estimate, he performed in front of 250,000-plus troops in 17 countries. When mortar fire interrupted a set in Afghanistan, Keith left the stage. He and troops sprinted about a hundred yards to a concrete bunker. There, he signed autographs until he could return to doing what he did best.

"I've met so many great, brave service men and women over the years and had so many wonderful experiences, that I can barely remember them all," Keith said in 2012. "… I won't ever stop doing my part to extend my thanks."

Keith died in 2024 at the age of 62.

Roma haven't stopped considering Antonio Nusa.
The Norwegian striker is on Tony D'Amico's radar, as he continues to monitor his situation at Leipzig.
This is due to the player's desire to leave the German club soon and pursue new opportunities.
As Gazzetta dello Sport reports, however, Roma's limit remains Leipzig's high demands, with an overall valuation of around €60 million.
The Giallorossi would like to please Gasperini, who had named Nusa third on a shortlist of priority strikers alongside Greenwood and Summerville.

Bayer Leverkusen striker Martin Terrier (29) could make a return to Ligue 1 after leaving Rennes for Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen two years ago, according to a report from Foot Mercato. The French player, uncapped at international level, only scored seven goals in 44 games played with the Werkself. Terrier's spell in Germany has been marred by injuries, including an Achilles tear last year.
Terrier still has three years of contract left with Bayer Leverkusen, but the perspective of returning to France appeals to him. The 29-year-old is reportedly in talks with his former club, Rennes, where he spent three remarkable campaigns. Les Bretons could be in need of further attacking options with Switzerland international Breel Embolo attracting interest.
But Rennes are not the only Ligue 1 club courting Terrier. Marseille, who will compete in the UEFA Europa League, like Rennes, are also interested in signing the former Lyon and Strasbourg forward. Current Marseille manager Bruno Genesio notably coached Terrier during his peak years at Rennes, between 2021 and 2023. Marseille also need at least one striker following the exits of both Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Mason Greenwood.

Newcastle continued their pre-season preparations with a 4-1 defeat at Championship side Bristol City on Wednesday night.
Sam Greenwood's curling free-kick put Bristol City ahead before Lorent Tolaj doubled the Robins' advantage before the half-hour mark.
Shortly after the restart, Max Bird's strike extended their advantage and, despite Harvey Barnes pulling one back, a Sven Botman own goal restored the three-goal cushion in the closing stages.
Ashton Gate - including 3,400 travelling Magpies fans - rose as one to conduct a minute's applause in honour of the late Kevin Keegan in the seventh minute, a nod to the number he wore during a terrific playing career.
"I thought it was a really good test for us," Newcastle boss Eddie Howe said post-match.

Roma tried everything to sign Summerville, but Al Hilal quickly made a monstrous offer, convincing West Ham and the player to move to Saudi Arabia.
The Giallorossi are currently evaluating other wingers to improve their attack.
Several players have been linked with the Roma side: Nusa, Godts, and Schjelderup are three prospects still a long way off, for various reasons.
D'Amico is working to find the right solution and meet the demands of Gian Piero Gasperini, who is still awaiting his first transfer.
Roma is looking for a winger who won't make them miss Greenwood and Summerville, two transfer targets that fell through. As reported by Matteo Moretto, the Giallorossi club is interested in Nusa and has had contact to test the potential. However, the 2005-born winger isn't convincing everyone at Trigoria.

#summerville #nusa #hilal

Sooner or later, Tony D'Amico will deliver a new attacking signing to Gian Piero Gasperini. The question is: How far down his list of targets will he have to go to land a new weapon for Gasperini? With Mason Greenwood heading to Turkey, Alejandro Garnacho to Aston Villa, and Crysencio Summerville to Saudi Arabia, the three players most closely linked to the Giallorossi have now signed elsewhere.
Now, it seems that Roma has zeroed in on Antonio Nusa of RB Leipzig as its new main target. However, the price tag being bandied about for Nusa may be even higher than the reported agreed-upon fee Roma had with West Ham for Summerville. And there appears to be competition from Premier League side Newcastle, which may push the reported €55 million minimum negotiating point higher.
So, with that in mind, D'Amico will have to have be ready to pivot to plan E or F before long. And those appear to be Andreas Schjelderup of Benfica e Said El Mala of Koln. We reported on Schjelderup a couple days ago, but he may be too rich for Roma's blood. That leave El Mala as the more likely alternative.
El Mala is a 19-year-old winger who is part of the Germany under-21 setup and is coming off a 13-goal and 3-assist campaign for Bundesliga side Köln. It's reported that Borussia Dortmund had an €26 million fixed fee, with €16 million in possible bonuses, offer rejected by Koln. The reason: Köln will only listen to offers of €50 million and up— a fee that seems a bit high for a player with a limited track record.
But with Roma having difficulty securing more proven profiles at a similar fee, could D'Amico pony up the cash just to get fresh talent through the Trigoria doors?

#reported

It’s a tense hour at Trigoria to determine Roma’s future.
The transfer window hasn’t opened yet, and the roster for new signings is empty.
With Greenwood and Summerville out of the running, the Giallorossi’s next big target is Nusa.
The Norwegian winger has been on their radar since January, and yesterday an initial meeting took place between D’Amico and his agent.
According to Radio Manà Manà, Leipzig are aiming high, asking for €60 million, a figure that can be lowered, but they need to act quickly, especially since Newcastle are also interested.

Roma’s transfer market is experiencing one of its most heated phases: after seeing Greenwood, Garnacho, and Summerville all disappear at once, the Giallorossi must now seriously push to give Gasperini the four signings he has repeatedly requested.
Tony D’Amico continues to have a large list of names, especially in attack. But given the current situation, one of the key players in that department for next season could be Matias Soulè.
According to Il Messaggero, the Argentine’s chances of wearing the Giallorossi jersey for a long time to come are high, despite numerous transfer rumors suggesting several teams have their eye on him.
Gasperini is looking for strikers with different characteristics than the Mar de la Plata native, but this doesn’t rule out Gasperini’s desire to entrust him with the key to the attack next year.
Furthermore, it’s important to emphasize that, despite interest from several clubs, the 2003-born player has always put Roma first and has never considered leaving the capital. Soulè is still eager to prove himself, and Roma is ready to offer him the right platform to shine.

With less than a month to go until the start of the new season, Bristol City fans are again wondering if this is going to be our year for achieving promotion to England's top flight after an absence of 46 years.
There have been massive changes at the club over the past five months with a new CEO, the sacking of boss Gerhard Struber, Roy Hodgson's managerial swansong, the appointment of James Ellis as sporting director, the departure of playing legend Brian Tinnion as technical director and the arrival of Michael Skubala as manager.
Are fan expectations more elevated than they have been for a while as City approach their 12th successive Championship season? On balance I would say yes, even though the hierarchy at the club say this is the start of a three-year plan to achieve Premier League status.
My mildly positive view is based on the fact that City have done a lot of their transfer activity early rather than in the latter stages of the window.
First through the door was goalkeeper Sam Tickle from Wigan while former England Under-21 midfielder Sam Greenwood was signed for an undisclosed fee from Polish side Pogon Szczecin.

With Al-Hilal paying €80m for Crysencio Summerville, Roma must turn to other targets, including Antonio Nusa, Diego Moreira and Andreas Schjelderup.
The Giallorossi's frustrating search for a striker to complete their trident attack goes on, as after losing out on Mason Greenwood to Fenerbahce, they thought that Summerville was in hand from West Ham United for €50m.

Instead, Simone Inzaghi's Al-Hilal dived in with today's proposal worth a reported €80m and tripled the salary on offer too, convincing the 24-year-old to join the Saudi Pro League.
Roma are again forced to start from scratch, and look down the list of candidates provided by coach Gian Piero Gasperini.

Marseille's new sporting director Grégory Lorenzi addressed the sale of Mason Greenwood (24) to Turkish club Fenerbahçe for €40m, explaining the motivations behind the move at a press conference attended by Get French Football News. "I think you all know the complexities of the Greenwood deal with the image of the player," said Lorenzi during his first press conference at the club. "There weren't a lot of opportunities with Mason, but I want to be precise when I say that the player wanted to leave the club as quick as possible.""The numbers are communicated by people that don't have the right information," Lorenzi said on critics from supporters that the sale price was too low. "All I can say is that the club got what it wanted. Okay, we thought that kore clubs were going to knock on the door. So the best option was this club that the player absolutely wanted to go to."The Englishman joined Marseille in 2024 after concluding a loan with Getafe, scoring 48 goals in 81 appearances under managers Roberto De Zerbi and Habib Beye. It culminated with a return to the Champions League, but a chaotic 2025-2026 season saw OM finish 5th, and with a need to sell players due to deteriorating financial position the writing was on the wall for the former Manchester United. GFFN | George Boxall – Reporting from La Commanderie, Marseille.

ISTANBUL (AP) — Former England forward Mason Greenwood signed for Fenerbahce to join his third club in three years since being banished from the Manchester United team.
Fenerbahce said in a statement late Tuesday it will pay Marseille 39 million euros ($44.5 million) and gave the 24-year-old Greenwood a four-year contract.
"It was a no-brainer when they (were) interested in me," said Greenwood, who had been pursued by Atletico Madrid, in a video message posted by his new club. "It's the biggest club in Turkey and I can't wait to get started."
Fenerbahce has not won the Turkish league since 2014, while fierce city rival Galatasaray has captured seven ****** les in that time including the last four.
As runner-up last season, Fenerbahce starts its Champions League campaign next week in the second qualifying round, hosting Gornik Zabrze in the first leg.

Fenerbahce have signed English forward Mason Greenwood from Marseille on a four-year contract, with former club Manchester United set to receive a percentage of the fee.
The Turkish club state the transfer fee is 39m euros (£33.27m) but did previously advise it would be a total fee of 45m euros (£38.36m).
Greenwood finished joint-second behind Rennes' Esteban Lepaul in the 2025-26 Ligue 1 golden boot standings with 16.
The 24-year-old, who scored 48 goals in 81 appearances in all competition for Marseille, joined the French side from boyhood club Manchester United in a £26.6m deal in July 2024.
At the time, United said they had negotiated a "sizeable sell-on fee", which is thought to be around 40%, for the academy product.

Mason Greenwood has officially joined Fenerbahce from Olympique Marseille for €39m plus add-ons, ending one of the transfer sagas of the summer, as Roma were frozen out.
The Giallorossi did not disguise that he was the first choice to strengthen their attack after qualifying for the Champions League.
However, while they were prepared to perhaps pay even more than Fenerbahce ultimately did, they could not compete with the reported wages of €10m per season in Turkiye.
Greenwood also seemed to favour a move to Fenerbahce, holding negotiations with two different Presidential candidates, as Roma were unable to convince him.
While Atletico Madrid and some Saudi Pro League sides were also interested, the Englishman had made his decision some weeks ago.

Roma have yet to make their first move on the transfer market.
After the Greenwood deal fell through, the Giallorossi have pounced on Garnacho, the ideal candidate to bolster Gasperini's attack.
The Argentine is on his way out of Chelsea, with Xabi Alonso confirming today that he's not interested.
Sky Sport reports that Roma today submitted their first offer to the Blues for the former Manchester United player.
The capital club are said to have submitted €5 million for a loan, with an option to buy set at €35 million, which could become mandatory if certain conditions are met.
