MARC-ANDRE TER STEGEN BARCELONA The Germany goalie could use his ninja-like reflexes to swat away the asteroids like flies! He was named La Liga’s Most Valuable Player in 2022-23 after he kept 26 clean sheets in 38 games and only conceded 17 goals – a Spanish league low – to become just the second goalkeeper to win the award! ANDRE ONANA MAN. UNITED Onana would use his epic ball striking ability to blast any hazards away from Earth! He started all of Inter’s games en route to the Champions League final and made more saves than any other goalkeeper in the competition, before his move to Man. United! EDERSON MAN. CITY Ederson’s top technical ability means he would probably just control any falling asteroids and then start doing keepy-ups with…

AITANA BONMATI BARCELONA The tiki-taka technician was involved in more Champo League goals than any other player last season as Barcelona were crowned queens of Europe! She also provided more assists for her side than any other player in the league, and that’s not even mentioning her dazzling World Cup displays… 2022-23 HONOURS… Women’s Champions League Liga Femenina Spanish Super Cup Women’s World Cup BALLON D’OR WINNER? STAT ATTACK! She had a hand in 12 Champo League goals in the 2022-23 season! PATRI GUIJARRO BARCELONA Deep-lying midfielders never get the attention they deserve but Guijarro had a low-key sensational season! She did grab the headlines with her two-goal display in Barca’s jaw-dropping Champions League final comeback, but her Ballon d’Or chances could be harmed by not playing for Spain at…

BURNLEY 2-5 TOTTENHAM SEPTEMBER 2 On a day of Prem trebles, when strikers Erling Haaland and Evan Ferguson also bagged hat-tricks, Son put three past Burnley!

Chelsea supporters were hoping a fresh start under Mauricio Pochettino would help lift the curse of last season, but the Argentine gaffer has struggled to get his players firing. If things go really badly over the next month, the pressure could mount on the former Tottenham manager! POINTS PREDICTOR! How many points do you think Chelsea will get from their next seven Premier League games? MATCH…
