The UEFA Champions League clash between Átletico de Madrid and Inter Milan on Wednesday was one for the books. The match had goals, amazing goalie saves, comebacks and incredible misses — all leading to the Colchoneros qualification to the quarterfinal stage through a penalty shoot-out.

If you’ve already seen the Christian Pulisic goal from Thursday’s Europa League game between AC Milan and Slavia Praha, then you know we’re being sarcastic with our headline.
Pulisic scored Milan’s fourth goal in a 4-2 victory at San Siro, but we’ll admit he may or may not have stolen a goal from Rafael Leão.
In the 85th minute Pulisic was involved in the build-up of what turned out to be a dazzling run and clever finish from Leão. Pulisic then helped it over the line at the last moment.
The internet is quick with the memes and joke videos.
Ligue 1 looks to be getting a new league sponsorship deal as RMC Sport has reported the top French league is close to teaming up with McDonald’s.
The league’s current name is actually Ligue 1 Uber Eats. The food delivery service has had the sponsorship name since 2020 and the naming deal runs until the end of the 2023-24 season.
McDonald’s is reportedly set to ink a deal with Ligue 1 worth $65 million over the next three seasons.
The deal isn’t confirmed yet but has already generated quite the storm online.

The U.S. women’s national team game against Colombia in the Concacaf Women’s Gold Cup quarterfinals on Sunday had it all.
Drawing defending champions Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals was the last thing Eddie Howe wanted to hear as the Newcastle United manager prepares to face last year's treble winners for a fourth time this season.
Newcastle, who last won the trophy in 1955, will visit City on March 16 for the knockout fixture.
"I was driving at the time and I almost swerved off the road! It wasn't the draw we wanted, that's for sure," Howe told reporters on Friday.
The CBS Champions League crew provided fans with another golden moment on Wednesday. A video of Thierry Henry reacting to Kate Abdo and her appearance in 2007 has gone viral on social media.
The relationship and chemistry between Henry, Abdo, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards makes for endless entertainment. During Wednesday’s coverage the crew did a throwback bit where they looked at where each member of the cast was back in 2007.
Henry’s jaw nearly hit the desk when a clip of Abdo from many years ago appeared on screen.
Preseason serves as a great window to get rid of the rust and make mistakes to learn from even for veteran players. Gotham FC and USWNT star Kelley O’Hara shared just that on Wednesday in a hilarious video of her getting tackled by a motionless defender.
During NWSL preseason with defending champions Gotham, O’Hara was completely cleaned out by a defender. The good news is that there won’t be any hard feelings due to the fact that one of the players involved in the incident lacks the ability to have feelings.

Thursday was a lot like Christmas for kit junkies as many Major League Soccer clubs revealed their new threads for the 2024 season. One of the best kit reveals posted was Will Ferrell pretending to be an equipment manager for LAFC.

Enough time has passed that we can look back on Super Bowl 58 and all agree that the commercials were lackluster. That being said, our favorite was the Lionel Messi Super Bowl commercial with Ted Lasso actor Jason Sudeikis and a feature from NFL legend Dan Marino.
We’re not sure what it was but the commercials weren’t that memorable. Many ads followed the cookie-cutter format of somewhat recognizable celebrity does something goofy. It was either that or having to watch three dogshit Temu commercials or ANOTHER homes.com video.
One difficult part of being a content creator for a professional sports team is getting the athletes to agree to do funny videos or trends. Some people just hate being on camera and that’s fine.
What every creator on a team dreams of is having a personality like Angel City star Sydney Leroux on the squad. Having a player who doesn’t shy away from goofing off on camera can lead to some of the best content.
Leroux displayed that side of herself with a hilarious video posted on Monday of her pretending to be starring in 2000’s R&B music video. She nailed it.
