Atalanta didn't take the win they wanted, so now they have 41 points along Napoli, who got their last win of the year. Inter ended the year with a win, while all the other big teams Fiorentina, Juventus, Milan and Roma ended with a tie.

The beautiful game.

DCFC is losing millions every year

Benzema is already considering retirement and will return to Real Madrid. The Frenchman does not even rule out his farewell to football next May and not in 2026 as Al-Ittihad, his current club, thinks. He has already agreed with Madrid about his return as an ambassador.

United fans saying this should've been a red card for Walker for simulation. What do you all think?

Follow-up:

53yo’s move from Newcastle has not worked + departure agreed in meeting at Old Trafford last night; presented by #MUFC as mutual.

Zlatan Ibrahimović: Playing for a club like Bayern Munich would certainly not have been bad, just because of the club's history and players. They couldn't have afforded me (laughs). But no, to be honest, there was never an opportunity to move there. It would have been nice but fate had other plans."

IFAB going ahead with the new rule for GKs after trials in Malta and Premier League 2 were proven successful. It was accepted that refs and GKs were ignoring the 6 second rule. New rule: Ref raises hand after 3 seconds, then counts down 5 more seconds. Formal change expected for 2026/27 season

This is the kind of stuff dreams are made of. The fact that his late father was a keeper just makes the story so much more special.

News is a couple days old but I hadn’t seen it earlier. Heartbreaking.

Real Madrid's priority at right-back is Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is allowed to sign a pre-contract from January 1. Liverpool have been unable to renew his contract, which has generated pessimism at Anfield and optimism at the Santiago Bernabeu, although everything is still open.

Pep Guardiola: "When I was in trouble my mum and dad never gave me away. "Now I want to be with this club and with these players to help them. We didn’t think we could lose one game, two games. Losing six or seven is ‘wow’, it is a lot, but it is what it is, accept it.”

Isn't he universally considered terrible?

I would argue that he actually needs a transfer. The move to Madrid has been a disaster for both him and Madrid. They needed a striker and he wants to play left wing but isn't currently better than Vini. Send him to United, Newcastle or even the Saudi league and he can reinvigorate his career somewhat. But him reaching the heights he promised looks impossible now, which is a shame.

Well, that's a bit awkward...
