Chelsea will donate portion of £11.4million Club World Cup bonuses to Diogo Jota's family in incredible gesture
CHELSEA players will donate part of their Club World Cup bonuses to the family of the late Diogo Jota, who died last month aged 28. Enzo Maresca's 24-man squad for the tournament was set to receive a combined bonus of £11.4m for winning the competition. 3 Chelsea players were set to receive a £11.4million bonus for winning the Club World Cup Credit: GETTY 3 But players will donate part of their bonuses to the family of the late Diogo Jota Credit: GETTY But in an incredible show of class, Blues stars have opted to give up part of their bonuses to raise funds for the widow of Jota, who tragically was killed in a car crash with his brother Andre Silva, and his three children. Players and the Blues brass made the joint decision to forego some of their bonuses. It's unclear what percentage of their bonuses players will donate to Jota's family. Each player was set to take home £475,000 for their role in winning the tournament. But their total bonus was set to be reduced by tax and social security costs prior to their generous offerings to Jota's family. Liverpool are set to immortalise their former Portuguese winger, who was a fan favourite, with a sculpture outside Anfield. The Kop club will pay tribute to the late Jota ahead of their Premier League opener against Bournemouth on Friday with a minute's silence. The players will wear a tribute for their former team-mate in each game of the 2025/26 season in the form of a 'Forever 20' emblem on their shirts. 3 Diogo Jota died in a car crash in Spain with his brother, Andre Silva, last month Credit: GETTY Jota's No.20 shirt has been retired by the club across all levels in a touching tribute to Jota, who scored 65 goals in 182 appearances for the Reds. FSG CEO Michael Edwards said of the decision: "As a club, we were all acutely aware of the sentiment of our supporters – and we felt exactly the same way. Liverpool and Preston pay emotional tribute to Diogo Jota and brother in first game since tragic pair's death 'It was vitally important to us to involve Diogo's wife, Rute, and his family in the decision and to ensure they were the first to know of our intention. 'I believe this is the first time in Liverpool Football Club's history that such an honour has been bestowed upon an individual. 'Diogo joined us in 2020, he won us number 20, and he wore – with honour, distinction and affection – the number 20. 'As far as Liverpool Football Club is concerned, he will be forever our number 20.'

Tottenham 'disgusted' over racist abuse aimed at star as they release statement
Tottenham said they are "disgusted" after Mathys Tel was subjected to racial abuse on social media following Wednesday night's Super Cup defeat to PSG. The Frenchman took the penalty in the shootout but missed, leading to online abuse. Thomas Frank's team had been leading 2-0 against the Champions League victors before two late goals brought the French side level. Tottenham ended up losing in the penalty shootout with Tel being one of the two players who missed. The forward has recently made his move to north London permanent and was a substitute in Frank's first competitive match as manager. The former Bayern Munich player failed to score from 12 yards, allowing the Parisians to win the match and claim the trophy and Tottenham are incensed by the amount of abuse Tel has received since, reports the Mirror. A club statement read: "We are disgusted at the racial abuse that Mathys Tel has received on social media following last night's UEFA Super Cup defeat. Mathys showed bravery and courage to step forward and take a penalty, yet those who abuse him are nothing but cowards - hiding behind anonymous usernames and profiles to spout their abhorrent views. "We will work with the authorities and social media platforms to take the strongest possible action against any individual we are able to identify. We stand with you, Mathys." Tel made a switch to Tottenham on loan back in February, and the club has now confirmed his move as permanent. Despite Tottenham ending up on the losing side of the penalty shootout, Frank praised those who stepped up. He stated: "I agree, it's down to the smallest of margins in the penalty shootout. It's like the flip of a coin. First I'd like to thank all the players that stood up and were brave and took responsibility to take a penalty." Tottenham are set to kick off their campaign this Saturday, welcoming Burnley to north London. Frank is aiming for significant improvements from last season, when the team ended up in a disappointing 17th place despite their Europa League triumph.

Thomas Frank proud of Spurs players as ‘special operation' fails against PSG
Set-piece goals by Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero had Spurs halfway towards another trophy – only three months on from Frank's predecessor Ange Postecoglou clinching Europa League success in May. Champions League winners PSG, who only returned to pre-season last week following their Club World Cup exploits in July, fought back impressively – with substitute Kang-in Lee pulling one back with five minutes left before Goncalo Ramos grabbed an equaliser in the fourth-minute of stoppage-time. It was initially advantage Tottenham in the shoot-out when Vitinha missed PSG's first kick and Rodrigo Bentancur put the Premier League club two up, but it was followed by Van de Ven and Mathys Tel failing to score as Frank's competitive debut ended in a 4-3 shoot-out defeat after a 2-2 draw.
