Messi is hitting top form, Chelsea have THREE stars back fit and Scotland are on the rise... but Beckham is under fire and Maguire's nightmare goes on - winners and losers of the international break

It was an eventful international break, with many managers using the chance to look at their players for the final time before the World Cup kicks off in November.

England's Harry Maguire endured a painful night against Germany on Monday, while Three Lions icon David Beckham's £10million ambassadorial role for World Cup host nation Qatar was blasted by former Man United team-mate Eric Cantona.

Meanwhile, Steve Clarke's resurgent Scotland sealed promotion to the top tier of the Nations League with a gritty draw against Ukraine, and Lionel Messi scored a superb double for Argentina to continue his fine form.
