And after all these years, the argument is still rumbles on. Did he mean it?Was it a fluke?Could Ronaldinho possibly have spotted David Seaman off his line and popped the ball over his head and into the top corner from 40 yards away on purpose?

The question remains tense more than two decades as the two countries meet again on Saturday at Wembley Stadium.

DAVID COVERDALE: A Brazilian student is enjoying a tour of Etihad Stadium with his classmates. He is unshaven and dressed casually in jeans and a jumper, then sits in Phil Foden's seat in the dressing room while a video is shown to the group. He listened to a lecture on the various corporate models for football stadiums earlier in a makeshift classroom at Colin Bell Standby, in which the Bernabeu is used as an example. It turns out that it is a place he knows well. Kaka, the student in question, has been playing for Real Madrid for four years, although still sporting the youthful appearance of a newbie, a far cry from where he was 20 years ago - winning the World Cup with Brazil in Japan.

BY MAX MATHEWS: Carvalho (20 right), 20, and Elliott (19th) are both precociously gifted attacking midfielders who are displaying their promise at Anfield, and Elliott (second right) is a premier league player who has a definite advantage. Heskey, a former Reds striker, told Sportsmail that by next year, they will be "frightened," but that Reds manager Jurgen Klopp (left) will'spruce up' his midfield. It would be helpful if they could spruce up their midfield,' he said. Don't get me wrong; they have amazing players: Fabinho, Thiago, but they are getting older now. Fabio Carvalho and Harvey Elliott are both coming through and making a difference as well. They may not be incongruence right now, but they will be feared in six months to a year because they'll have the consistency that is needed.'

The Midlands are currently fourth in the Premier League table, four points behind safety, with just one league victory in all season amid fan outrage (left). Heskey, the former Foxes striker, argued to Sportsmail that Rodgers (right) is the man to turn things around, but that they must 'fight' every single game to get them out of danger. 'Brendan Rodgers is having a rough time, but I have faith he is the one to bring us out of it.' It's been a long road for him. We've got to get back to the graft and break it down, so we'll have to get back to it and break it down. We're grafters here in Leicester and Leicester, and this is the thing about them. We want this fight back, to be a dogged side... When we played Forest in the local derby, everybody was up for it, and seemed to be giving the bit more and the extra. You want a game in every game, but it shouldn't only be in a derby.'
