X reacts as Tottenham twice fight back to earn Old Trafford point

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur were forced to share the spoils at Old Trafford as Spurs twice came from behind to earn a 2-2 draw on Sunday. Rasmus Hojlund and Marcus Rashford finally combined to good effect as the hosts made the most of their first-half openings. Spurs were the superior side throughout, and they were more than good value for their point . The team news generated plenty of buzz among both sets of supporters as both Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven returned to Tottenham's starting lineup. January arrival Timo Werner also made his first start for the club, although Dejan Kulusevski failed to make the matchday squad. ๐Ÿšจ๐ŸšจCuti Romero & Micky van de Ven start together for the first time since November 6th 2023! ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿค pic.twitter.com/1nkiYBxPkW — The Spurs Watch (@TheSpursWatch) January 14, 2024 Romero and Van de Ven back but no Kulu… pic.twitter.com/ycwdZDTh2Q https://t.co/OAetgOmqjn — ๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ฆ♱ ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ (@thfcpio) January 14, 2024 Timo Werner m...

What tie-breaker is used if teams finish level on points in the UEFA Champions League group stage?

The group stage of the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League is nearing its conclusion , with some teams, including Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich, having sealed their places in the round of 16 on matchday four, while several others have the opportunity to do so on matchday five. Groups D and G already have nothing riding on them in terms of qualification , although we still need to see whether Real Sociedad or Inter tops the former and which of City and RB Leipzig finish first in the latter.

What happens if two or more teams finish level on points in Liga MX Apertura 2023?

Matchday 17 of Liga MX’s Apertura 2023 is already underway, with some teams, including Club Amรฉrica and Monterrey, already assured of their place in the end-of-tournament playoffs, while others are scrambling to qualify for the liguilla or the new play-in round. A change in format means the league’s top six teams now qualify directly for the quarter-finals , with those finishing between seventh and 10th entering the play-in round. How does the new Liga MX play-in work? The team that finishes seventh hosts the eighth-place team, with the winner sealing their place in the quarter-finals . The loser of that fixture then hosts the winner of the meeting between the ninth and 10th-place teams for the final last-eight berth.

Kylian Mbappe points finger at PSG hierarchy over Champions League failings

Kylian Mbappe has pointed the finger at Paris Saint-Germain's hierarchy for the club's continued failings in the Champions League. The Ligue 1 giants crashed out of last season's com Pet ition at the last 16 stage after being outclassed by Bayern Munich over the course of two legs - Mbappe missed the second encounter because of an injury but did play in PSG's 1-0 loss at the Parc des Princes. Mbappe''s future has been dominating the headlines in recent weeks after it was revealed that he does not intend to renew his contract at PSG, which expires next summer. The 24-year-old will then be able to leave the club on a free transfer, much to the annoyance of club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi. He has told Mbappe's agent and mother, Fayza Lamari, of PSG's intention to sell this summer in order to receive a transfer fee - something the player himself is seemingly unwilling to do as he wants to wait. Mbappe's future aside, there have been murmerings of disco...

Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo cruises to one of the easiest 50-point performances you'll ever see

Image
MILWAUKEE -- Entering this season, Giannis Antetokounmpo, for all his brilliance, had just three 50- point Game s to his name. He now has two in the last month. In yet another ridiculous performance , Antetokounmpo finished with 50 point s, 13 rebounds and four assists on 20-of-26 from the field in the Milwaukee Bucks' 135-110 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans.  "Guy had a hell of a night, made it look easy all night long," Khris Middleton said. "Playing efficient, playing dominant, he's playing unstoppable, playing like the MVP again. We need that from him every night, and he knows that." With this performance, Antetokounmpo became the sixth player in NBA history to have multiple 50-point games on at least 75 percent shooting from the field. The others are Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, Karl Malone, Kyrie Irving and Adrian Dantley; not a bad list to join.  ...
