Few footballers captivate the planet like Phil Jones.
It all began back in 2013, when, at the age of 21 and having recently arrived from Blackburn, Sir Alex Ferguson said that Jones had the potential to become the greatest player in Manchester United's history, and it continued over the years as the defender smashed his face into every orifice in which a face does not belong.
Betis tropezó en su primer partido de 2022, perdiendo 0-2 en casa ante el Celta de Vigo. Y no es por andar acusando con el dedo, pero ambos goles tuvieron una cuota de culpa en los mexicanos Andrés Guardado y Diego Lainez.
En la previa del partido, los dos mediocampistas del Tri asomaron como titulares en la papeleta entregada por Manuel Pellegrini. Si bien Guardado es un regular en LaLiga, lesiones y Covid-19 abrían una puerta para que Lainez tratara de espantar la irregularidad del 2021 y comenzar a construir un 2022 más próspero.
MADRID - An early goal from Turkish striker Enes Ünal shocked LaLiga leaders Real Madrid as they lost 1-0 at Getafe on Sunday and ended an unbeaten run that had lasted 15 matches in all competitions.
With 46 points from 20 games, Real Madrid are still top but are not as comfortable as before. Sevilla are second with 38 points and two games in hand, and will visit second-from-bottom Cádiz on Monday.

Romelu Lukaku came off the bench to lead Chelsea to a much-needed 3-1 victory at Aston Villa with midfielder Jorginho scoring two penalties in the Premier League on Sunday.
Lukaku has not started a league game since picking up an injury in October and missed the last two games after testing positive for COVID-19. But the Belgian transformed his team's display after coming on at halftime at Villa Park, providing a constant threat, putting his side ahead and then earning the late penalty that secured the three points for Thomas Tuchel's side.
NORWICH, England - Arsenal cruised to a 5-0 win at hapless bottom side Norwich City on Sunday, with Bukayo Saka's double helping them to secure the victory as they consolidated fourth place in the Premier League.
Saka opened the scoring early on before Kieran Tierney added another goal just before the break. The England forward got his brace midway through the second half, while Alexandre Lacazette, with a penalty, and Emile Smith Rowe wrapped up the victory.
Manchester City and Leicester delivered a Premier League classic on Sunday by exchanging nine goals, including a four-goal salvo in the match's opening 25 minutes from Pep Guardiola's team that the Foxes reduced to a one-goal advantage over the space of 10 ridiculous second-half minutes.
Last Wednesday, Leicester had suffered crushing disappointment in a League Cup quarterfinal defeat to Liverpool. Brendan Rodgers' side had led by margins of 2-0 and 3-1 but was still eliminated in a penalty shootout.
HONG KONG - Marouane Fellaini was on target as Shandong Taishan defeated Hebei FC 2-0 in Guangzhou on Sunday to clinch the club's first Chinese Super League title in over a decade.
The former Manchester United midfielder netted from close range in the 21st minute to send Shandong on their way to the win they needed to take an unassailable lead at the top of the standings and claim the trophy for the first time since 2010.
After Sevilla dropped points in a 1-1 draw with Barcelona on Tuesday, Real Madrid took advantage Wednesday with a 2-1 win over Athletic Club that included the best opening 10 minutes of the 2021-22 season.
Atlético de Madrid es hoy un campo de miserias. Lesiones, fricciones al interior del vestuario y una terrible serie de resultados -que hoy les hizo sumar su cuarta derrota consecutiva en LaLiga- son parte del sufrimiento que viven los colchoneros.
Y de la malaria no se salva el mexicano Héctor Herrera.
