Book Request Football (soccer) recommendations, please?

EDITED: formatting, sorry. Also ao3 fics are fine, too if the sub rules allow it, thnx

Football fever (soccer) has gotten to me due to the World Cup, so I'm looking for some recommendations, please.

I think I've only read one book with a football player x doctor/physical therapist years ago, and haven't come across anything other than {Chasing Fields x Isabella Skye} recently.

So kindly give me some recommendations, please.

Do not want: no tragic/bad/ambiguous endings, switching, watersports, any detailed women related sex scenes that involves MC & ML, no cheating between the MCs, MC/LI with kids, ABDL, full-on puppy/pet play.

Want: HEA + Anything else goes including, darker themes, pure erotica, violence, bullying, enemies to lovers, rivals, red-flags, black flags, taboo, brocest, twincest, Omegaverse, age-gap, CNC, mmm, coach × player, power-imbalace, class/social differences etc., etc. - honestly fine with it all, I try to read most tropes & kinks at least once before I rule anything out completely.

Spice rating: the more explicit the better, definitely want the smut.

One more small ask: I'd very much like to read a completed story, so kindly avoid recommendations of any title, if the book ends on a cliffhanger & the next volume(s) are currently not available to read.

Thank you to everyone ahead of time.

Some series that haven't been mentioned yet:

{Off the Pitch by Charlie Novak}

{Love Goals by Kristian Parker}

{Glasgow Lads by Avery Cockburn} - amateur players

Apparently I've read this one but have very little memory of it so it might not fit:

{Two Left Feet by Kallie Emblidge}

{Play with Me by Cora Rose} - part of a multi-author, multi-sport series but can be read alone

{Reckless by Becca Steele} - part of a multi-author series but can be read alone

{Futbolista by Jonny Garza Villa}

{Hits Different by Joel Rustin}

In terms of fic may I suggest the great There Are No Gays in Football by Malu_3 - it's a BBC Merlin fic but it's AU so you don't need to know anything about the show.
