The day's 5⃣ stories: Mazzola, De la Fuente's changes, Tuchel.. A football-packed weekend kicks off before the international break, so let’s go over the five stories you can’t miss before it gets underway. A legend has passed away: Sandro Mazzola One of the greatest legends of Italian football has passed away: Sandro Mazzola. The son of Valentino Mazzola — who played for Torino, was a leading figure of the Grande Torino side, and died in the Superga tragedy — became an Inter legend, first under Giuseppe Meazza and later under Helenio Herrera. He was a European champion with Inter and the Italian national team, and a four-time Italian champion. A rampant Barça threatens the Pizjuán 📸 LLUIS GENE - AFP or licensors Hansi Flick’s Barcelona, who have been steamrolling every opponent in their path, want to close out this first stretch of the season with a perfect record of wins. Standing in the way is Luis García Plaza’s Sevilla, who have started the season very well with 13 points from a possible 18 and would currently be in the Europa League places. De La Fuente’s first squad since winning the World Cup England, Croatia and the Czech Republic will be the first opponents for Luis de la Fuente’s Spain. For that, the Spain manager has made four changes compared to the squad that lifted the second star. In goal, Inter goalkeeper Josep Martínez gets his first call-up in place of the injured Joan García; in defense, following Marcos Llorente’s retirement, Dean Huijsen comes in, which seems likely to move Eric García to right-back; and up front, with Borja Iglesias barely able to play for Celta due to injury, Roberto Fernández comes in after reaching a high level with Espanyol. It’s not just another derby: 'Cholo' Simeone vs José Mourinho 📸 Denis Doyle - 2013 Getty Images José Mourinho and Diego Pablo Simeone will meet again this Sunday in a derby, thirteen years later. The last time was in the 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 seasons, when the Portuguese coach won all the league meetings 1-4, 2-0 and 1-2, while the Argentine took the Copa del Rey final played at the Santiago Bernabéu (1-2). The first squads from Zidane and Mancini; Tuchel tries things out 📸 FRANCK FIFE - AFP or Licensors Roberto Mancini has returned to Italy after several debacles along the way, and he has done so with a 34-man squad.
