An-Najah News -  Liverpool was humiliated 7-2 by Aston Villa to end its perfect start to the title of Premier League champion.

Ollie Watkins scored a hat trick and Jack Grealish scored twice as Villa made it three wins out of three after only surviving in the league on the last day of last season.

Liverpool became the first reigning Premier League champions to concede seven in a game. 

The last time it happened in English football's top division was in 1953.

With Alisson Becker out with a shoulder injury, Adrian was in the Liverpool goal and his mistake allowed Watkins to open the scoring in the fourth minute.

An-Najah News - Despite the Argentinian ace's apparent discontent at the Camp Nou, the Barcelona board are braced to resist any transfer bids for Lionel Messi as new boss Ronald Koeman.

Rumors have suggested that Messi's discontent at Barcelona's poor performance last season could lead to the club's star player deciding that his future lies away from the Catalan club. 

Koeman has been keen to ensure that details of his top-level talks with his club captain are kept under wraps."Barcelona has declared Messi as 'untransferable' and will not accept offers for him," Lorente wrote on Twitter (via translation). 

"Koeman counts on him for a new cycle and he still has a valid contract. The club will only sell players that Koeman does not want."
