Alvaro Morata feels the future is bright for Spain thanks to their young talents, after the forward bagged a history-making brace in Tuesday s 5-0 win over Iceland.

The Juventus forward netted a first-half double to set up a Roja rout at the Riazor, while goals from Yeremi Pino and Pablo Sarabia completed the victory after the interval.

But speaking afterwards, the former was happy to deflect attention away from his own feats, to lavish praise on his young team-mates and what they could offer going forward.

There are many young players [among the squad] to look for…

Flamengo are the reigning Brazilian league champions, the Copa Libertadores winners, and on Saturday they will attempt to add the Club World Cup to their accolades.

Standing in the way of the team bossed by Jorge Jesus are Liverpool, who won the Champions League in June and are packed with superstar performers.

When it comes to the biggest names in the game, Flamengo cannot compete with the team they will battle for the global crown.

However, they possess plenty of quality in their ranks, and notably have a host of players who have returned to South America after stints in Europe.

Here is a look at five of their key players ahead of the clash with Jurgen Klopp s team.

Sam Allardyce is wary of a letdown in the FA Cup fifth round versus West Brom following Wednesday s battling draw at Southampton.

The London club hung on for a point at St Mary s Stadium despite seeing goalkeeper Adrian sent off for handling the ball outside the area.

Jussi Jaaskelainen is likely to fill in for the suspended Spaniard, although Allardyce has already confirmed West Ham s intention to appeal the ban.

Andy Carroll suffered a knee injury shortly after Adrian s dismissal, but continued to hobble around the pitch as the visitors had used all three substitutions.

And, with Che…

Sheffield United captain Sophie Barker vowed to keep Maddy Cusack at the forefront of her mind after the Blades resumed their season following the death of their team-mate last month.

Cusack was the Blades’ longest-serving player, and the first to make 100 appearances for the club, when she died on September 20 and last weekend’s game against Crystal Palace was postponed as they came to terms with her death.

But they returned to action in the Women’s Championship at Bramall Lane on Saturday and got a result for Cusask as they came from behind to beat London City Lionesses 3-1.

They fell behind to Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah’s first-half opener but a second-half rally from the hosts saw Isobel Goodwin grab two and Ash Hodson also score to earn a fitting three p…

Southampton F.C. legend Matt Le Tissier has conceded the Saints are likely to lose Morgan Schneiderlin when the transfer window re-opens this summer.

The France international, 25, has been linked with North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur on several occasions over the past 12 months, but reports are suggesting United are now leading the race for the player s signature.

After selling the likes of Adam Lallana, Calum Chambers, Luke Shaw and Rickie Lambert, the Saints blocked a move for Schneiderlin last summer.

However, Le Tissier does not expect the club to prevent Schneiderlin from securing a move to a top-four club in the coming weeks.

It s probably more likely that he ll leave than stay,” Le Tissier told Sky Sports. The big …
