UEFA president calls out Guardiola
UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has told Pep Guardiola to stop complaining about fixture congestion.
Guardiola is a regular critic of the workload his Manchester City players have to deal with, due to the demands that come with competing in four competitions every season, plus the five international breaks per year of two or three fixtures a time.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is another manager who regularly bemoans how many games his side have to play, and other issues like the scheduling of fixtures for broadcast reasons. Now, UEFA president Ceferin has hit back at the pair saying they have no right to complain.
Vincent Kompany opens door for City transfer
New Burnley manager Vincent Kompany has refused to rule out the prospect of signing Manchester City centre-back Taylor Harwood-Bellis in this summer's transfer window.
Burnley are desperate to strengthen their armoury ahead of the new Championship season starting in less than five weeks time. The Clarets — who snapped up MK Dons star Scott Twine on Sunday — are facing one of their biggest summer transfer windows in recent years, with several big-name players having already left the club, including Nick Pope, who has joined Newcastle United, Ben Mee and James Tarkowski.
It means that Kompany has the challenge of rebuilding the squad, all while trying to deliver promotion back to the Premier League at the first time of asking. The Turf Moor outfit have been linked with signing several players in recent weeks, not least City ace Harwood-Bellis.
