– The Club World Cup: the Brazilians of Palmeiras take out the Egyptians of Al Ahly and spin in the final. Close-up on a FIFA competition that continues to want to find a place in the sun! Very popular in South America and Africa, much less in Europe. Should the format be redesigned?
– The Premier League: Manchester United concedes a draw against bottom side Burnley. Cavani preferred to CR7 as holder. The “Red Devils” lose their 4th place. A result that makes you cringe! Liverpool: Pharaoh Mo Salah already back! Can his disappointment in the CAN final have an impact on his performance?
– Serie A, back to the Milan derby of the weekend: doubled by Olivier Giroud who overthrows Inter (1-2). AC Milan remain in the title race. Former Parisian Thiago Motta elected coach of the month for January. His La Spezia side are on a short streak of invincibility. Focus on technician Motta with Matteo Cioffi.
– An Atlas Lion, Hakim Ziyech, 28, retires from international football. Not selected by Vahid Halilhodzic to compete in CAN 2021, the Moroccan international announces that he will no longer be wearing the crampons of the selection! A well-considered decision or a simple blow of heat?
