0:01:16 > 0:01:20Man United's Zlatan Ibrahimovic is to have his own statue
0:01:20 > 0:01:24in his native Sweden.
0:01:24 > 0:01:32Does he deserve it?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Well, he has just won Swedish Player Of The Year for the tenth
0:01:35 > 0:01:37year in a row.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Give someone else a chance!
0:01:39 > 0:01:41When people were wondering if Phil Neville was going to take up
0:01:41 > 0:01:44the job of Bury manager, the former England man made it clear
0:01:44 > 0:01:47he was not in the frame because his mum would have told him.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Check this out.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50My mum is the club secretary.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53I spoke to her four times today and she has not offered me the job
0:01:53 > 0:01:58so I do not think I have a chance.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02And remember this great goal from Hal Robson-Kanu in the Euros?
0:02:02 > 0:02:04The West Brom man's fantastic finish has been nominated
0:02:04 > 0:02:05for Goal Of The Year.
0:02:05 > 0:02:11The result is announced in January, but he definitely gets our vote.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15There were cheers and tears around Europe this week as the Champions
0:02:15 > 0:02:16League got serious.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18It is time for my one-minute European roundup.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19I love a challenge.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Start the clock.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24On Tuesday in Germany records were smashed as Borussia Dortmund
0:02:24 > 0:02:26beat Legia Warsaw 8-4 in the highest-scoring
0:02:26 > 0:02:31Champions League game in history.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Leicester finally let in a goal, the first they conceded in the whole
0:02:34 > 0:02:37campaign but they still beat Club Brugge 2-1 and cruised
0:02:37 > 0:02:38through to the knockout stages.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Man City are also through.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44David Silva's strike was enough to draw against Boru...
0:02:44 > 0:02:46That German team.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49The hopes of Arsenal finishing top of their group were dented
0:02:49 > 0:02:51as they only managed a 2-2 draw against Paris St Germain.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Their North London rivals Spurs were beaten by Monaco which means
0:02:54 > 0:02:58they're out of the competition.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01It is bye-bye to Celtic as well as Messi proved he can
0:03:01 > 0:03:02work his magic in Glasgow.
0:03:02 > 0:03:10He scored both goals as Barcelona won 2-0.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13And Man United boosted their chances of Europa League victory with
0:03:13 > 0:03:16a 4-0 victory on Thursday but Southampton lost 1-0.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17Under a minute.
0:03:17 > 0:03:17Get in.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21From Europe to the world stage and after four games as caretaker it
0:03:21 > 0:03:23looks likely that Gareth Southgate will get the England
0:03:23 > 0:03:24manager's job permanently.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25How much do you know about him?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27This is the lowdown.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28Gareth Southgate started playing professional football
0:03:28 > 0:03:35with Crystal Palace in 1988.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38He stayed with the club until 1995, that is when he joined Aston Villa,
0:03:38 > 0:03:43before ending up at Middlesbrough.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Gareth was picked to play for England 57 times alongside
0:03:47 > 0:03:50football legends like Alan Shearer.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53His darkest hour came 20 years ago, playing for England
0:03:53 > 0:03:54in the semifinals of Euro '96.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59Picture the scene, England take on Germany in the semifinal.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04Gareth Southgate misses a crucial penalty.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07And Germany are through to the final of the competition.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11He redeemed himself when he turned to managing Middlesbrough in 2006.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15He went on to become the boss of England's under-21 team and then
0:04:15 > 0:04:17stepped up to be England manager when Sam Allardyce left
0:04:17 > 0:04:24after just 67 days in charge.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Good luck, Gareth, if you land the role.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Let's hope he can do a great job.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Ever wondered what would happen if Neymar played
0:04:31 > 0:04:32alongside a popstar?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Wonder no more.
0:04:34 > 0:04:40This week Justin Bieber dropped into Barcelona for a kickabout.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42What is even more amazing is that Bieber has the skills.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Check this into the top corner.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Nice one.
0:04:45 > 0:04:55This got us thinking.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Have other pop stars had a shot at the beautiful game?
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Yes, they have.
0:04:59 > 0:05:06This is our top five.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09At number five, this little beauty is going in One Direction
0:05:09 > 0:05:10and that is up the charts.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13It is 1D's Louis Tomlinson, turning out for Doncaster reserves.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Sadly his silky skills could not stop the match ending 0-0.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17At four, the legend that is Diana Ross.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21You may have to ask your granny who she is but she has scored number
0:05:21 > 0:05:22ones for over 50 years.
0:05:22 > 0:05:28Sadly she could not score a penalty.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30All she had to do was kick straight.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31She missed.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32Epic fail.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33At three, Ollie Murs.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38The X Factor runner-up was once a semipro footballer.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41He has worn the England shirt with pride for Soccer Aid
0:05:41 > 0:05:43and loves every chance to watch his favourite team,
0:05:43 > 0:05:44Man United.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45Robbie Williams has captained England loads
0:05:45 > 0:05:47of times at Soccer Aid.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48The whole thing was his idea.
0:05:48 > 0:05:54Once he turned out for his beloved Port Vale.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59At number one, it is the king of pop himself, the shoes are off for this.
0:05:59 > 0:05:59MUSIC:
0:05:59 > 0:05:59MUSIC: "Thriller"
0:05:59 > 0:06:00MUSIC: "Thriller" by
0:06:00 > 0:06:00MUSIC: "Thriller" by Michael
0:06:00 > 0:06:03MUSIC: "Thriller" by Michael Jackson.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05The one and only Michael Jackson.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Not me.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Would you believe he supported a British team, none
0:06:09 > 0:06:12other than Fulham?
0:06:12 > 0:06:15His appearances at Craven Cottage led the owner to put up
0:06:15 > 0:06:16this bizarre statue.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Just imagine if he had taken his dance moves
0:06:18 > 0:06:20into football freestyle.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23What a thriller that would have been.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26All that music takes me back but it would be great to have
0:06:26 > 0:06:27an actual time machine.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31We have made one, sort of.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Here is a couple of team-mates to try it out.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34I am Leah Williamson.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36I am a midfielder for Arsenal Ladies
0:06:36 > 0:06:37and England under-20s.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Born 1987.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41I am Alex Scott, played for Arsenal Ladies and
0:06:41 > 0:06:42England as a defender.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I was born in 1984.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46You are so old.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47You promised you would not say that.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Now I have forgotten what we're doing.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50You tell them.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55This is Teammate Time Travel.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59Let's get the show on the road.
0:06:59 > 0:07:022016, current, what was your greatest achievement this year?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05It has got to be winning the FA Cup at Wembley.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06A dream come true.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Literally.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12I have won the FA Cup with Arsenal before but to walk up the stairs
0:07:12 > 0:07:14at Wembley and lift the trophy.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15It was the best feeling, right?
0:07:15 > 0:07:16Let's go back to 2014.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19A good year for you.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20Yes, many firsts.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Tell me.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25It was my first year with the first team at Arsenal.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26I made my debut.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28I scored my first goal.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32And I won my first FA Cup.
0:07:32 > 0:07:342007, why was that such a great year for you?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36I can tell you just like that.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39We won the quadruple at Arsenal.
0:07:39 > 0:07:45What were you doing in 2007?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47I think I was a professional mascot that year.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49I was a mascot for the men's team.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50My hero, Theo.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51We are both number 14 now.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53So cute, blonde hair.
0:07:53 > 0:08:00Do you know what the biggest selling single of the year was in 2007?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse, Valerie, Umbrella, by Rhianna.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04My dog is named after that.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06And Bleeding Love, Leona Lewis.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10I know the answer.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12This is in my top five song list.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13Bleeding Love, Leona Lewis.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14Top five?
0:08:14 > 0:08:23You heard it here first.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24In 1992.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27We have a picture of you doing your maths homework.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29I do not think it was maths.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30I think I was taking football notes,
0:08:30 > 0:08:31studying the game.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32I like it.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33How old were you?
0:08:33 > 0:08:38I was minus five!
0:08:38 > 0:08:401997 was the year I burst out.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Who was Prime Minister than?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Tony Blair.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44I am thrilled to see him.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46So cute.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49We have taken it back, way back.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Time to throw it forward.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Let's go to the year 2029.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59Hopefully we will be bigger and better than ever.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02We will have more people watching, more girls playing, hopefully,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05we will be actual posters on bedroom walls for young girls.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06Hopefully that will happen.
0:09:06 > 0:09:12Fingers crossed.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14We will be travelling to games in spaceships.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16And we will stay forever young.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Love it.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Thanks, Alex and Leah.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25As you are talking about the future, here are a few stars
0:09:25 > 0:09:29of the future showing off their skills.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33First up, Isaac.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34A very nice rainbow flick.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Does he go for another?
0:09:35 > 0:09:36Yes.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Good skills.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44Next it is Daniel, who does not mess about.
0:09:44 > 0:09:51Straight in the top corner.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Steffan with some neat kick ups and look at that control.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55A freestyler in the making.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56And finally, it is Thomas.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58He sees the bin, and look at that,
0:09:58 > 0:09:59what a screamer.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04Yes, yes.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Fantastic.
0:10:09 > 0:10:17Please keep the skills coming in.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20If you need any top tips to get you started, look no further.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21Over to our professor of skill, John Farnworth.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39I am football freestyler John Farnworth.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43Over the next few weeks I am taking freestyle back to basics.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46I will show you some of the best tricks and skills that will not just
0:10:46 > 0:10:48impress your friends, but will take your football gameplay
0:10:48 > 0:10:52to a whole new level.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01This trick is called the hocus-pocus.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04It is quite difficult and you may get your legs in a twist when you're
0:11:04 > 0:11:07trying to practise it.
0:11:07 > 0:11:17But when you master it, your opponent will be
0:11:17 > 0:11:19well and truly mesmerised.
0:11:19 > 0:11:25How do we do it?
0:11:25 > 0:11:30As we approach the ball, we put our standing leg next
0:11:30 > 0:11:33to the ball, bringing it back across our back foot and sweeping
0:11:33 > 0:11:34back across the other way.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I know it sounds really confusing but watch the video,
0:11:36 > 0:11:38slow it down, give it a go.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40This first variation involves performing the move and then
0:11:40 > 0:11:43executing a step over to the inside, then taking a third
0:11:43 > 0:11:51touch with the outside of your standing leg.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54This will divert the attention the opposite way, giving
0:11:54 > 0:12:04you a lot more space.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Remember, these moves are very difficult so practise a lot,
0:12:06 > 0:12:08have patience, and you will have it in no time.
0:12:13 > 0:12:19Thanks, John.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Do not forget, there are plenty more of John's videos
0:12:23 > 0:12:25for you to check out on the Kickabout website.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27This week, Steven Gerrard finally announced his retirement
0:12:27 > 0:12:28after 19 years of football.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30He's not the only sporting legend to retire recently.
0:12:30 > 0:12:40I am not talking about Jenson Button either.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Rower Heather Stanning has hungup her oars after two Olympic golds.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Here she is with her dream five aside team.
0:12:53 > 0:13:01I am Heather Stanning, double Olympic gold medallist.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03This is my five-a-side dream team.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04In goal, Peter Schmeichel.
0:13:04 > 0:13:13He's really tall.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15It has opened up for Scmeichel.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Good save.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18I have put myself in defence.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19I cannot play anywhere else.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21I will have Zinedine Zidane in midfield.
0:13:21 > 0:13:31He is a really good player.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Alongside Zidane, Ronaldo in midfield.
0:13:33 > 0:13:42They can also get upfront and score some goals.
0:13:48 > 0:13:58Upfront, I will have Pele.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13Rivelino, and it is Pelle.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17He has scored.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19That is Brazil's 100th goal in the World Cup.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21That is my dream five aside team.
0:14:21 > 0:14:22Beat that.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23Thanks, Heather.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Nice team.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26That is very nearly full-time for this week.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30All that is left to do is look forward to these great fixtures
0:14:30 > 0:14:31coming up this weekend.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Could Sunderland upset the mighty Reds of Liverpool, or who will win
0:14:33 > 0:14:35the battle of London between Chelsea and Spurs?
0:14:35 > 0:14:38I cannot wait to find out.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41In the week that he retired, we could not go without remembering
0:14:41 > 0:14:44some of the reasons that Stevie G was one of the best.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49Check this out, see you soon.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50This is Gerrard in the box.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Steven Gerrard scores.
0:14:53 > 0:15:01Gerrard.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02This is Gerrard.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03It is in.
0:15:03 > 0:15:08Brilliant.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09Gerrard.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10He has done it.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11Anfield erupts.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Steven Gerrard.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16HACKER: Can you impersonate a CBBC character or presenter?
