Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.

First time in Atlanta United history that they have lost back-to-back games by three goals or more as the Five Stripes lost 3-0 in Orlando on Saturday night. First goal was given after a lengthy VAR check but the second half performance was poor and Atlanta never looked dangerous or looked like getting back into the match. Big week ahead with Nashville, who won 7-2 on Saturday night over Chicago, coming to town.

Vancouver remains the top team in MLS this season after a 3-1 win at Minnesota. Miami lost its unbeaten start to the regular season, losing 4-3 at home to Dallas on a day where its stars were rested ahead of the Whitecaps' visit in the second leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup semifinal later this week. 

Portland are unbeaten in 7 after their 4-2 win over the LA Galaxy on the road. Denis Bouanga's late spectacular equalizer rescued a point for LAFC at home against St. Louis. Cincinnati is the top team in the East after Kevin Denkey's Goal of the Year contender of a bicycle kick helped them win 2-1 over Kansas City.

Barcelona won the Copa del Rey 3-2 over Real Madrid in extra time, Jules Kounde with a 22-yard smash to win it. Real Madrid had 3 players sent off after the go-ahead goal and after the final whistle as their meltdown and poor behavior regarding referees continues. Carlo Ancelotti is expected to finish the La Liga season now as talks continue about him taking over as the Brazilian national team manager with Spanish outlet Marca still continuing the conversation about Jurgen Klopp's potential as the next manager in Madrid. Xabi Alonso is widely regarded as the front runner for that job.

Liverpool won their 20th English top-flight title, and their 2nd Premier League title, with their win over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. Arne Slot is the third manager in club history to win the title in his first season at the club and the 5th to win the Premier League title in his first season across all clubs. Mo Salah has equaled Alan Shearer and Andy Cole's record for goal contributions in a season, they did it in 42 games and Salah has done it in 34, he still has 4 games to set the record outright. 

Arsenal came back in the second leg to beat Lyon to advance to the UEFA Women's Champions League final. They lost 2-1 in the home leg but won 4-1 in the away leg in the France to meet Barcelona, who defeated Chelsea 4-1 in each leg of their semifinal series. 

Napoli has taken control of Serie A with a win powered by two goals from Scott McTominay. Inter lost to Roma earlier in the day on Sunday.
