    Shocking moment ex-Liverpool and Barcelona star Philippe Coutinho’s interview interrupted by gunshots

    GUNSHOTS interrupted an interview with Liverpool icon Philippe Coutinho.Loud gunfire also erupted when his Vasco da Gama team-mates Leo Jardim and Nuno Moreira went in front of the same cameras pitchside.Philippe Coutinho appeared to to take it in his strideBrazilian keeper Leo Jardim laughed readily during the incidentFans were shocked by the scenes in Rio de Janeiro – but many were even more amazed by the reaction of all three players.Former Barcelona playmaker Coutinho, 32, paused when the shots cracked out, before turning around grinning and sharing a jokey comment.His fellow Brazilian, 30-year-old ex-Lille keeper Jardim, burst out laughing.And Portuguese winger Moreira, 25, stood calmly with a smile on his face before crossing his arms.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLFour of Brazil’s biggest teams are in the high-crime city of Rio.Vasco, Fluminense, Botafogo and Flamengo are bitter rivals.But some areas of the city – usually in impoverished neighbourhoods called favellas – have a history of gang violence.And when clips of the interviews were posted online, fans were stunned by how the three stars appeared to make light of the gunshots.Most read in FootballOne observer wrote: “The craziest thing is that no one even moves. Like normalizing things is really scary.”Another posted: “The tranquility of the Carioca people [Rio residents] listening to the bullets flying still impresses me. “Nuno Moreira also reacted coolly to the interventionBut a third argued: “Embarrassing. They have to move the training centre out of the middle of this favela. It’s embarrassing. For the love of God.”A fourth pointed out: “Vasco and Fluminense’s training centers are on the same street, practically next to Cidade de Deus. “It’s not a good location. But when it comes to the city of Rio de Janeiro, no place is a good place.”And a fifth made an even more sobering claim.They wrote: “This is Rio without makeup, not what the authorities try to sell to outsiders. Most Cariocas survive daily under these conditions of imminent risk when leaving their homes. Devastating and revolting.”Coutinho is on loan at mid-table Brazilian top-flight club Vasco from Aston Villa after spending last season with Qataris Al-Duhail SC.But his career has gone downhill since he followed five scintillating years at Liverpool with a £142million move to Barca in 2018. Fans saw Coutinho chat comfortably before and after the gunshotsCredit: X/ geglobo More

    AMAD DIALLO issued a grovelling apology to Manchester United supporters after their Europa League final flop against Tottenham.The winger played the full 90 minutes as the toothless Red Devils lost 1-0 in Bilbao.Amad Diallo played the in Europa League final loss to TottenhamCredit: PAHe has issued an apology to Manchester United supportersCredit: PABrennan Johnson’s bundled goal was enough to condemn Man Utd to their worst season in modern history.The club will end the season trophyless, just above the relegation zone in the Premier League and without European football for next season.And Diallo, 22, has not shied away from facing up to the horrid season and took to social media to address the club’s fans.He posted a grovelling apology on X to the supporters for an “unacceptable season”.READ MORE ON MAN UTDThe winger did insist that the team will work to never let it “happen again”.He wrote: “First of all, I would like to congratulate Tottenham on their victory, and then apologise to all Manchester fans around the world.”It’s been an unacceptable season, and no one can deny that, but we always put our motivation on the pitch.”I promise you that a season like this will never happen again at this great club.Most read in Europa LeagueJOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS”Thank you all for your support throughout the season; you’ve been by our side no matter what.”Fans appreciated the words from Diallo as they reacted in the comment section.Moment baffled Man Utd fan gets trapped in toilet in Bilbao and is left soaked by self-cleaning systemMan Utd ratings: Diallo best player in Europa League final but Hojlund out of his depthAMAD DIALLO’S fizzing first-half display was little consolation for Manchester United in a dismal 1-0 Europa League final loss to Tottenham.Rasmus Hojlund’s plight up front continued in one of the worst European showpieces for many years – as both sides showed why they will finish in the Premier League lower reaches.Spurs clinched it from virtually their first opportunity – on 42 minutes.Brennan Johnson bundled in Pape Sarr’s inswinging cross, with United left-back Luke Shaw also getting a touch on the way.The Red Devils dictated possession more and more after the break, with Leny Yoro stretching to test Guglielmo Vicario from a free-kick.But United’s chances only arrived regularly in the final quarter of a patchy contest.The Red Devils belatedly piled on the pressure in the seven minutes of stoppage time, but Spurs just held on.Here’s how SunSport’s Dave Courtnadge rated United on a miserable night individually and collectively for Ruben Amorim’s men…One posted: “Brave of you to put this out there.”A second wrote: “Love you Amad, you will be a superstar.”Another commented: “Head up, brother.”A fourth said: “You can hold your head up high for your performance.”While one added: “We believe in you Amad, one of our bright sparks this season.”Meanwhile, the defeat has seen the club put every player up for sale in an attempt to avoid financial ruin.However, the potential fees have plummeted due to the shocking season with £407MILLION being wiped off the players’ values.
