Raphinha, the handyman
Barcelona wins in a huge match against Atlético and retains the lead in La Liga! In Sport, we highlight the two victories, that of Barça and that of the women’s Roja. The daily newspaper looks back a little on the role of Raphina in this Barça. “Raphinha’s spark ignites Barça again», writes the media. Raphinha revives Barcelona with a crucial goal and total influence on the match. The Brazilian imposes his energy, his verticality and his leadership from the start and breathes life into a team lacking spark. Despite some failed actions, he remains the offensive and emotional engine of Barça. Flick recovers a key player, capable of raising the collective level and guiding the team in hot moments. A return that can only do the Blaugranas good.
Caution for Hakimi
At PSG, Achraf Hakimi and Désiré Doué continue their rehabilitation after their injuries. Hakimi, injured in the ankle against Bayern, hopes to be ready for the start of the CAN on December 21. He follows a strict protocol in Spain and Poissy, supervised by his physiotherapist and the Moroccan selection doctor. Doué, injured in his hamstrings, is progressing quickly with daily double sessions and could join PSG in Metz or the Intercontinental Cup in Doha. Both players are progressing well, but the club remains cautious about their return.
Haaland in history
Scorer during the crazy match against Fulham (5-4), Haaland reached the legendary mark of 100 goals in the Premier League. A resounding feat, especially since it took him only 111 games to reach 100 goals, faster than any other player. Alan Shearer played 124 matches, Harry Kane 141, Sergio Aguero 147 and Thierry Henry 160 matches. In the Gazzetta dello Sportwe are talking about a Haaland who is 100 years old. The Team also highlights the Norwegian who is a stats machine. Of his 100 goals, 71 goals were scored with the left foot, including 13 from De Bruyne. In Sport we title: City reign crazy and Haaland makes history. As a reminder, Haaland is only 25 years old.
