Ousmane Dembele

Türkiye beat Iceland 3-1 in a UEFA Nations League group match Monday as Benfica winger Kerem Aktürkoğlu scored a hat-trick to guide his nation to a home victory.

Aktürkoglu, who left Galatasaray for Portuguese powerhouse Benfica on Sept. 3, scored an early opener in the box at İzmir's Gursel Aksel Stadium.

Ousmane Dembele started the shootout for France, with Cristiano Ronaldo matching for Portugal. Youssouf Fofana successfully took France’s second kick, followed by Bernardo Silva for Portugal. Jules Kounde then scored France’s third kick, but Joao Felix’s attempt for Portugal hit the left post and missed.

Barcelona beat Real Madrid 3-0 in a fiercely contested friendly match on July 29 with an early strike from Ousmane Dembele and late goals from Fermin Lopez and Ferran Torres.

The result was harsh on Carlo Ancelotti's team, who struck the woodwork five times and created plenty of opportunities. But Spanish champion Barcelona's more clinical finishing proved to be the difference.

French national Kylian Mbappé won the Golden Boy Award for Europe's best young footballer for the year 2017 in a sports journalist poll organized by the Italian Tutosport.
