Friday night was synonymous with games in British football’s oldest competition. Pedro Porro and Marco Silva won by the smallest margin — enough to pass — and Wolverhampton, after drawing, were forced to go to another game against Brentford.

The Spurs, who were the last to enter the field, can be grateful to the ex-Sporting man (1-0). Despite the good first half, the Londoners were unable to undo the score. Only with the law of the bomb did Porro prevent major headaches; the Spaniard, on the right, advanced the field, did his best and put Tottenham in the sixteenth round of the FA Cup.

Fulham, owned by Portuguese João Palhinha (did not play) and Marco Silva, also had a complicated mission. To beat lowly Rotherham (1-0) – last placed in the Championship – a solitary goal from Decordova-Reid was essential, in a game dominated by the Premier League team.

Finally, Brentford and Wolverhampton, in the most balanced match on the menu, drew (1-1). With one down early on, the Wolves team saw Doyle, in the 64th minute, equalize the duel, after a goal from Maupay in the first half. In this way, the two teams will repeat the clash in the near future, to see who advances in the competition.

2024 is just beginning, but this game is certainly a candidate for game of the year in Spain! Girona won against Atletico Madrid (4-3) and once again equaled Real Madrid at the top of the spanish championship. O Athletes, in turn, it remains in fourth place.

Valery Fernández, Savinho, Daley Blind and Ivan Martín scored the home team’s goals, while Álvaro Morata – with one hat trick – was the side’s biggest highlight mattress

Regarding the game, what to say about the first 45 minutes? Five goals, several spectacular moves and intensity at the heights. A true duel between two of the best teams in the Spanish championship. Furthermore, in the second minute, Valery Fernández immediately foreshadowed a game of a very high level: with a strong shot from outside the area, the Spaniard opened the scoring early.

When one hat trick it was insufficient…

At a disadvantage, Atleti took control of the game and Morata – inspired and effective – took advantage of a lack of attention on the home side to, in Gazzaniga’s face, put everything in a draw. In response, Girona pressed high again and Martín stole the ball from Koke near the penalty area and, despite Oblak denying Martín the goal, Savinho gave no chance on the rebound. Towards the end of the first half, there was still time for two more goals.

First, Blind – following a corner – made it 3-1 and, a few minutes later, Morata – through a spectacular individual play – reduced it to 3-2. In the second half, Simeone’s men came out with everything – Paulo Gazzaniga made, in the space of five minutes – several high-level interventions, and ended up reaching the goal naturally.

Rodrigo de Paul lost his balance – he passed several opponents with great ease – and found Morata (who else?) who, isolated in the face of the Argentine goalkeeper, didn’t hesitate and put everything back to square one. Until the end, both teams had several dangerous shots – Oblak and Gazzaniga said ‘present’ -, however, at minute 90+1, the Slovenian goalkeeper was unable to do anything to Martín’s FANTASTIC and decisive shot. Crazy ending and worthy of one of the best games of the 23-24 season.

Do this Wednesday one year since Cristiano Ronaldo’s presentationwith pomp and circumstance, in Mrsool Park, in Riyadh, as the new number 7 of Al Nassr. Some of the most unexpected transfers in world football.

Following the interview with Piers Morgan, which worsened the disputes between CR7 and Manchester United, the Portuguese star ended his connection with Red Devils and then ended up heading to Al Nassr. A strong signal from the Saudi market, which opened its purse strings and began to attract some of the sport’s biggest stars.

In Portugal and Arabia, thousands of people watched Ronaldo take to the field. Cristiano arrived in Arabia “very proud of having made this decision. In Europe, my work is done. I won everything, played for the most important clubs and now it’s a new challenge in Asia. Al Nassr gave me this opportunity to develop football, women’s football, young people and for me it is a challenge, but I feel very happy and proud.”

Since then, several renowned players have joined the League: Sadio Mané, Benzema, Kanté, Fabinho, Mahrez, among many others. Several Portuguese also joined, including Otávio and Luís Castro, who went to Al Nassr, without forgetting Rúben Neves, Jorge Jesus and Jota.

The Saudi League has since grown exponentially in all aspects. It is, at this stage, considered by many to be the largest market outside Europe.

In addition to his influence off the field, on the field, Ronaldo’s numbers speak for themselves: since his arrival, in 50 games, he has scored 44 goals and provided 13 assists. Cristiano is living a dream season, as this season he reached 200 caps for the National Team and was the player with the most goals scored in the 2023 calendar year: 54!

In terms of trophies, note the conquest of the Union of Arab Football Associations Cup, although the task is not easy in the current Saudi championship, with a very powerful Al Hilal.

Numbers, regardless of the context, only within the reach of the best for someone aged 38. The decision, unquestionably, gave new life to CR7 and new eyes focused on the Middle East. What to expect from next year of this adventure?

In a practically one-way game and where Valencia took advantage of Villarreal’s inertia with the ball, the club once again showed that it is much better than in recent seasons and beat Submarino Amarelo, in turn far from what has been seen in recent years, for 3-1.

Playing at home, Valencia have been absolutely insurmountable – they haven’t lost at the Mestalla since the end of September – and they soon showed that they wanted to continue that way. At 4′, Gaya was unmarked with a long ball on the left, took advantage of a poor approach from the defenders and served former Benfica player Yaremchuk for the opening goal of the match.

Submarino was asked for a response to this poor start to the match, but the truth is that Marcelino Toral’s men seemed completely haphazard and uninspired and Valencia’s simple processes were arriving perfectly to be on top and creating danger, until, At 27′, he benefited from a penalty and Pepelu, formerly of Vitória SC and Tondela, successfully converted.

The 1st half had seemed easy for a mature and efficient Valencia team and Villarreal even came back with a different attitude for the 2nd half – they had a goal disallowed at the end of the 1st half, to Morales, in one of the few quality moves they had, for offside -, which made it seem like we would have a more divided match, but a handball from Adrià Alti allowed Pepelu to make it 3-0, in the 57th minute.

In the first instance, Villarreal reacted well again and ended up managing to reduce it, in the 73rd minute, in a great individual play by Akhomach on the right, which left Gaya nailed to the ground with a great dribble in the middle of the area and assisted Gerard Moreno, but the The truth is that the pace dropped a lot after that 3-1 and Valencia took the opportunity to manage. In stoppage time, at 90+3, Pepelu almost completed the hat-trick with a great free kick, but Jorgensen made a great save and the result remained unchanged.
