Chelsea’s new signing, Nicolas Jackson finally got his first goal after three Premier League games as the West London side grabbed their first win of the new season.

Raheem Sterling got the match opener in the 17th minute when he picked up possession wide on the right and darted between Ryan Giles and former Chelsea player Ross Barkley. Amari’i Bell and Marvelous Nakamba closed him down as he entered the box, but he maintained his composure to pick out the bottom-left corner to score a brilliant solo goal.

After the goal, Chelsea continued to dominate the match but found it difficult to coordinate themselves upfront as the first 45 minutes ended 1-0 at Stamford Bridge.

In the second half, Chelsea maintained their dominance over the newly promoted side but they still couldn’t coordinate their attack until after the hour mark.

In the 68th minute, Chelsea scored a well-worked team goal when the club’s record signing Moisés Caicedo recycled possession to Malo Gusto, whose cutback is swept home by Sterling from eight yards out.

From there on, it was Chelsea that had the best of chances but failed to make the best of it until the 75th minute when Enzo Fernandez juggled the ball in midfield before finding Sterling with a long pass forward.

The England international received the pass and ran towards the box with the ball before he drove a deflected cross into the six-yard box, where Nicolas Jackson was on hand to tap in for his first Premier League goal.

Jackson’s goal sealed a 3-0 win for the Blues which pushed them to the 8th spot on the league table pending the outcome of other matchweek three games.

Football legend Lionel Messi and his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, are reportedly heading for a divorce, according to emerging online reports.

Speculation was sparked by Cuban astrologer Mhoni Vidente, who boldly claimed on live television that Messi had been “flirtatious” and was romantically involved with another woman.

Although the claims remain unconfirmed, they have sparked widespread discussion about the potential financial implications of a separation for the football icon, according to La República.

With an estimated net worth of $650 million as of 2025, Messi could potentially lose a substantial part of his fortune if Antonela were to file for divorce.

Married in 2017 and parents to three sons, the couple has long been regarded as one of football’s most admired and enduring power couples.

Messi boasts an impressive real estate portfolio that stretches across continents. In Miami, the Argentine football star owns a luxurious waterfront mansion in Fort Lauderdale’s exclusive Bay Colony neighborhood, reportedly worth several million dollars, according to Zonal Sports.

The mansion features eight bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a spa, and a private fishing pier, offering the ultimate blend of luxury and comfort.

Messi also owns luxury apartments in the Porsche Design Tower and Regalia Tower in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, each valued in the $5 – $7 million range, Finance Monthly reports.

 

In Spain, Messi’s Castelldefels mansion near Barcelona includes a private football pitch, swimming pool, and home theatre. Meanwhile, in his hometown of Rosario, Argentina, he owns “La Fortaleza,” a custom-built dream estate designed for his retirement.

 

Messi’s prized real estate assets also include a lavish $11 million villa in Ibiza and a luxury hotel chain, MiM Hotels. Operated under the Majestic Hotel Group, the five-star chain reportedly generates over $400 million in monthly revenue.

Beyond real estate, Messi has expanded his empire into fashion and tech. He runs The Messi Store, a clothing line headed by Ginny Hilfiger, and also produces signature wines under his “Leo” and “L10” labels. In the tech space, his investment firm, Play Time Sports-Tech, supports major ventures in Silicon Valley and oversees the growth of his global brand.

If divorce proceedings move forward, Antonela could also have a claim to Messi’s luxury car collection—which includes high-end brands like Ferrari, Lexus, and Range Rover—as well as his $15 million Gulfstream private jet.

 

Messi’s array of luxurious cars include: Cadillac Escalade: a high-performance SUV costing around €100,000.

Range Rover Evoque: a premium SUV costing around €50,000

Range Rover: the stronger variant Priced around €125,000 Lexus LX570: valued at €100,000

Ferrari F430 Spider: a vintage car available at around €180,000

Maserati Gran Turismo MC Stradale: valued at €180,000

Mini Cabrio: a thrilling and fun addition to his collection costing €50,000.

With such a vast and diverse portfolio of assets and income streams, a potential divorce could carry major financial consequences for Messi. Although the couple has yet to confirm the rumours, the stakes are undeniably high should they prove true.
