Manchester United flop Alexis Sanchez, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar and Eden Hazard all made headlines for good or bad reasons on the weekend – here are 10 of the biggest talking points you may have missed.
Click through the gallery to 10 international talking points from the football weekend.
Sanchez made his first start for Inter Milan in their 3-1 victory over Sampdoria on Saturday, but went from hero to villain in just 46 minutes. He scored his first goal for his new side to make the score 2-0, and was, in fact, involved in the Nerazzurri's opening strike too – Inter's opener from Stefano Sensi bounced off his back into the goal, but Serie A registered it as a goal for the Italian and not the United loanee.
Moments after the half-time break, though, Sanchez was sent off after receiving a second yellow card for a dive, and will now miss his club's top-of-the-table clash against Juventus next weekend.
Gianluigi Buffon, meanwhile, wrote his name into Serie A's history books after breaking Paolo Maldini's all-time appearance record. The 41-year-old featured in Juve's 2-0 victory over SPAL, making his 903rd league appearance in the process, one more than the AC Milan legend.
