Lothar Matthaus is of the opinion that Jurgen Klopp can end Manchester City’s stranglehold on silverware in much the same way he did when Borussia Dortmund broke Bayern Munich’s dominance. Matthaus believes Klopp proved his methods have worked before and can do so again. “Maybe City has more money but I know the mentality of Klopp, I know the mentality of his team. They work very hard,” said the former Bayern midfielder after a 5-5 draw in the Legends match at Anfield which is set to raise more than £1 million for the LFC Foundation, Liverpool’s official charity. “Liverpool has…

Isco netted a hat trick as Spain romped to a 6-1 victory over Argentina in Madrid, where Lionel Messi again watched from the stands.

Argentina went close when Giovani Lo Celso played a neat one-two which released Meza into the Spain penalty area, but the Independiente…
