Liverpool and Manchester United delivered an intense and highly entertaining English Classic, resulting in a 2-2 draw. With this outcome, Liverpool stays at the top of the Premier League with 46 points, six points ahead of Arsenal, while Manchester United remains in 13th place with 23 points. Scoreless First Half Despite the lack of goals in the first 45 minutes at Anfield, the excitement was palpable as both teams created a couple of dangerous chances, setting the stage for a goal-filled second half. Manchester Struck First The second half kicked off with high energy, and in the 52nd minute, the visitors scored the opening goal. Following a long-ball clearance attempt by Trent Alexander-Arnold, Lisandro Martínez intercepted the ball, played it to Bruno Fernandes on the left wing, and continued his run. Fernandes returned the favor with a perfectly timed through ball, and Martínez unleashed a powerful shot that hit the crossbar and bounced into the net. Liverpool Turned the Tables In the 59th minute, Cody Gakpo equalized for Liverpool. After a cleared free kick, the Reds recovered possession and reignited their attack on the left flank. Gakpo took control at the edge of the box, cut inside, and unleashed a powerful shot into the far corner of the net, scoring a stunning goal. At the 70th minute, Liverpool’s star of the season, Mohamed Salah, stepped up. After a handball by De Ligt was confirmed via VAR, Salah confidently converted the penalty, marking his 18th goal of the season and putting Liverpool ahead 2-1. Manchester United Salvaged the Draw With just 10 minutes left, the “Red Devils” launched an attack down the left wing. Alejandro Garnacho sent in a cross before reaching the goal line, finding Amad Diallo in the center of the box, who slotted it home to secure a 2-2 draw.

With a solitary goal by Ousmane Dembélé at 90+2′, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Monaco in the Super Cup final. This game took place in Doha, Qatar, at the 974 Stadium, where although PSG was insisting with arrivals throughout the game, it was not until stoppage time that Fabian Ruiz sent a low cross from the left that ran through the large area, to the boots of Dembélé, who only pushed the ball into the open goal. With this victory, PSG won the French Super Cup for the third time and their thirteenth title of this kind, being the most winners of this tournament.

With a double by Erling Haaland, a goal by Phil Foden and an own goal, Manchester City starts to recover from the bad streak they experienced at the end of 2024. Manchester City defeated Wets Ham by a score of 4-1 and everything seems to indicate that the team led by Pep Guardiola left behind the bad moment they experienced in the last months of last year, where they could only obtain two victories from October to December. An own goal opened the scoring The actions at the Etihad Stadium started very well for the home team, as just 10 minutes into the game, the first goal was scored for the “Cityzens”. Savinho’s cross from the left flank was brushed by Vladimír Coufal’s studs, which produced a deflection towards the near post, where the goalkeeper had already thrown himself in the middle of the small area trying to stop the shot, but he was left out of the play and the score was 1-0. Haaland’s double to extend the lead City continued to insist, in search of more goals, but good interventions by Areola prevented his goal from falling almost the entire first half. It was not until the 42′, when the Norwegian striker Erling Haaland made his presence felt; in a very good play by Savinho, the Brazilian sent a precise cross from the left, the ball covered the goalkeeper and two defenders for Haaland to simply give a slight jump, which with his 1.94 m height was enough to push the ball into the net with his head. In the second half, Manchester City’s attack did not cease and at 55′, the “Android” again made his name on the scoreboard, in a filtered pass again from Savinho, the Norwegian drove the ball in the big area and before the mark of a defender, and the exit of Areola, Haaland showed quality and chopped the ball to avoid the attempted save and make it cross the goal line almost in a slow face. Foden closed City’s account Three minutes later, at 58′, West Ham made a mistake at the start, the defense of the London team gave the ball to Kevin De Bruyne almost in the big area, the Belgian set up Phil Foden who only shot at goal before a save from the goalkeeper that was not enough to prevent the 4-0. Füllkrug scored the goal of honor Finally, in the 71st minute, Wets Ham’s consolation goal came in the form of a cross from the left by Tomas Soucek, which Niclas Füllkrug connected with to make it 4-1. City must continue their quest for the top places With this result, Manchester City is sixth in the Premier League, with 34 points, but three points away from being third in the league, so the “Sky Blue” team must continue to add victories and leave behind the bad moment they experienced at the end of the year.
