Watch: Kylian Mbappé debuts new celebration after Real Madrid winner vs Osasuna
Real are of course fresh off kicking the club's 2025/26 campaign into gear on Tuesday evening.

And when all was said and done, it was the aforementioned Kylian Mbappé who proved himself the game's decisive figure.
After winning a 2nd-half penalty for his side, the Frenchman dusted himself down, before converting the only goal of the game from 12 yards.

Celtic held by Kairat Almaty in Champions League play-off
Celtic's Champions League hopes are firmly in the balance after they were held to a goalless draw by Kairat Almaty of Kazakhstan in Glasgow in the first leg of their play-off tie on Wednesday, while Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce played out a goalless draw with Benfica. The Scottish champions pushed Bayern Munich close in the knockout phase play-offs last season after finishing 21st out of 36 teams in the league stage. But Brendan Rodgers's team could not break down the champions of Kazakhstan, who have already come through three qualifying rounds to get to this stage and are eyeing a first ever appearance in the competition proper. James Forrest was denied by a great save from Kairat goalkeeper Aleksandr Zarutskiy right at the start of the second half from one of few clear chances that fell Celtic's way at Parkhead. At the other end, Brazilian Edmilson saw a chip from inside the centre circle for Kairat land on the roof of the net following a mistake by Celtic defender Cameron Carter-Vickers. Daizen Maeda then found himself in behind the Kairat defence late on but could only shoot straight at substitute goalkeeper Temirlan Anarbekov. Celtic therefore have it all to do when they make the daunting trip east next week to Almaty, not far from Kazakhstan's border with China. "We're disappointed with the result and first-half performance. We didn't start with the intent and mentality we wanted to. We were quite passive," said Rodgers, whose team were booed off at full-time. "There's no doubt we can go there and win. Of course, you want to take an advantage with you, (but) it's still very much in the balance." Fenerbahce and Benfica played out a 0-0 draw in the first leg of their tie in Istanbul. The Portuguese giants, who lost in the last 16 last season to Barcelona, held on in the pressure cooker atmosphere in Turkey despite having midfielder Florentino sent off in the second half. Benfica therefore have the slight edge going into the return in Lisbon, but Fenerbahce are aiming to reach the Champions League proper for the first time since 2008/09. Norwegian champions Bodo/Glimt look certain to reach the league phase of Europe's elite club competition for the first time after a stunning 5-0 home win over Austria's Sturm Graz. Kasper Hogh, Odin Bjortuft and Ulrik Saltnes all scored in the first 25 minutes for last season's Europa League semi-finalists. Hakon Evjen made it four early in the second half and a William Boving own goal completed the rout. Swiss champions Basel drew 1-1 at home to FC Copenhagen in heavy rain at St Jakob-Park. Xherdan Shaqiri's early penalty put Basel in front, but Gabriel Pereira equalised for the Danish side in first-half stoppage time. Basel had substitute Jonas Adjetey sent off late on but held out for a draw as an Andreas Cornelius goal for Copenhagen was ruled out for a marginal offside. as/mw

Real Madrid debutant led all La Liga players in one stat in opening gameweek
A member of the defensive ranks at Real Madrid led all La Liga players in one particular statistic across the season's opening round of fixtures. That's according to Squawka, who point towards Álvaro Carreras as the player in question. Left-back Carreras is for his part fresh off an evening to remember on Tuesday. This comes after the 22-year-old was afforded his starting debut in the colours of Real Madrid, following his big-money summer arrival from Benfica. And en route to an eventual 1-0 victory over Osasuna, Carreras showcased precisely why those behind the scenes at the Santiago Bernabéu were so willing to splash out on his signature. From his berth on the left of Xabi Alonso's backline, the Spaniard shone bright, particularly on the ball. To the point that, as alluded to above, Carreras led all La Liga players in passes into the final third in Gameweek 1. As per the aforementioned Squawka: 'Álvaro Carreras was the only player in LaLiga to make 50+ passes into the final third in GW1.' The former Manchester United starlet managed a hefty 57 such passes, 11 more than Barcelona midfielder Pedri in 2nd. Conor Laird – GSFN

BLUE EYE SAMURAI Season 2 Poster Teases Mizu's Epic Return — GeekTyrant
Netflix just dropped the first poster for Blue Eye Samurai Season 2, and it features the return of Mizu, who will continue her revenge-fueled journey. While a release date still hasn't been confirmed, hopefully we don't have to wait long for the next chapter of the story. Blue Eye Samurai has earned its place as one of Netflix's most badass original animated series. Since it premiered in 2023, fans have been all in on this gorgeously violent tale of vengeance and identity. And after that cliffhanger Season 1 finale, people have been hungry to see where Mizu's path leads next. Netflix also confirmed that the series is officially in production on Season 2. When we last saw Mizu, she was leaving Japan and heading to London to finish what she started — taking down Skeffington and Routely. That unfinished business has fans hyped to see her return with blades drawn. At this summer's Anime Expo, co-creator Amber Noizumi teased what's to come during a panel alongside Michael Green and executive producer Jane Wu. Noizumi said that Mizu's mission remains as sharp as her sword: 'Mizu's journey remains the same. Revenge is her religion.' Green backed that up with a reveal: 'She believes that at least two of the men that she's out to kill are going to be somewhere in this magical place called London.' Noizumi also hinted at a few surprises that could shake things up: 'There are also going to be maybe some people you thought died, who maybe are still alive.' Outside the convention, Green said: 'We're excited how it's coming along. It's going great. We have the best team you could ask for working, applying all their talent and experience into doing the impossible again. And more of the impossible, and celebrating what we got good at and trying some really new crazy things too.' Blue Eye Samurai recently scored the Emmy for 'Best Animated Series' in 2024, beating out some major contenders like X-Men '97 . With talk of future seasons and even spin-offs in the works, it's clear that Mizu's journey is far from over, and I'm excited to continue watching that journey unfold.
