Football never sleeps. During any of the 86400 seconds in a 24-hour day, somewhere in the world someone is doing something related to the beautiful game, whether that's scoring a last-minute winner in a high-profile match, posting their expert take on social media or simply booting a ball against a wall with their mates.
It's therefore impossible for any human being to keep up with everything that's going on in the game, and it's often those little yet most intriguing moments, like a fan's alternative viewpoint of a penalty save, or a three-second yet incredibly telling interaction between two arch-rivals, or thread on X explaining why N'Golo Kante is the nicest man in professional sport, which make football so great.
GIVEMESPORT have created our live blog to help solve that problem, providing the best social media has to offer and the greatest football mini-stories from the last 24 hours.
Trent Alexander-Arnold went public with his decision to leave boyhood club Liverpool to pursue a new challenge after the conclusion of his contract. The defender has been with the Reds for 20 years, coming through the academy to become a two-time Premier League and Champions League winner.
While supporters were split between feeling frustrated at losing a key player and wishing the right-back well for the future, the majority of his teammates came out with positive messages of support. The likes of Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson and Cody Gakpo all expressed their love for the 26-year-old and wished him well in his next adventure.
One man who responded with an unusual message that has been taken in different ways by many fans was Ibrahima Konate. The towering centre-back commented on Alexander-Arnold's Instagram post with three love hearts and the message: "Big L." Some have seen this as an expression of love, while others have taken it as a discreet dig at his departing colleague in the form of 'big loss'.
