Duros golpes, COVID y hasta una rara tarjeta roja. Los titulares alrededor de Hirving Lozano no venían siendo muy positivos en el último tiempo. Sin embargo, el Chucky algo de la mala racha pudo sacudirse anotando los dos goles con que el Napoli venció al Bologna.
La doppietta de Lozano además llegó justo en un momento en que la crítica en su contraba se estaba volviendo despiadada.
RIYADH - Real Madrid were crowned Spanish Super Cup champions after goals from Luka Modrić and Karim Benzema earned them a 2-0 win over Athletic Bilbao in Saudi Arabia on Sunday.
Real took the lead in the 38th minute after Rodrygo sprinted past two defenders before passing to Modrić, who rifled a shot into the back of the net.

Sebastián Córdova llegó como el gran refuerzo de Tigres para la temporada 2022, pero apenas en su segundo partido empieza a probar que la paciencia de los aficionados felinos con él será corta.
La performance del volante en la derrota 0-2 ante Puebla fue bastante discreta y cuando salió reemplazado en el segundo tiempo recibió un notorio abucheo desde las tribunas del estadio El Volcán.
It was only a matter of time before Mohamed Salah found the back of the net for Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations. The Liverpool star hardly had a sight of goal in Egypt’s opener against Nigeria. He still had few opportunities in front of his opponent’s goal on Saturday, but Salah was the man to make the breakthrough as he and his side defeated Guinea-Bissau 1-0.
Weston McKennie has now scored two headed goals in the span of three days for Juventus. The American netted a goal in the Supercoppa Italiana on Wednesday and was once again a menace in the air on Saturday against Udinese. The McKennie goal vs Udinese provided Juventus with some breathing space as the Italian giants won 2-0.
BIRMINGHAM — Aston Villa debutant Philippe Coutinho came off the bench to inspire a thrilling comeback in a gripping 2-2 draw at home to Manchester United in the Premier League on Saturday.
United appeared to be on course for a second win of the week against Steven Gerrard's side as Bruno Fernandes struck in each half - the first goal courtesy of a dreadful error by Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.
Here's the goal that gave Manchester United their 1-0 lead over Aston Villa.
COLOGNE — Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski got a hat trick to make it 300 Bundesliga career goals as he steered them to a 4-0 win at Cologne on Saturday that restored a six-point lead at the top.
The Bavarians, chasing a record-extending 10th consecutive league title, bounced back from last week's loss to Borussia Moenchengladbach and have 46 points from 19 games with Dortmund in second place on 40.
Barring a Manchester City disaster, the 2021-22 Premier League title race appears all but sorted as City defeated second-place Chelsea 1-0 on Saturday. The victory was City’s 12th straight in the league as the defending champions look set to win a fourth Premier League title in the last five seasons.
Despite the close score Manchester City looked the clear favorite throughout the 90 minutes. I apologize to my fellow Americans, but the attack force of Christian Pulisic, Romelu Lukaku and Hakim Ziyech was as dangerous as a dandelion.
El futuro de Carlos Salcedo en Liga MX es más incierto que nunca. Los rumores de que el Titán dejará Tigres han venido rondando hace un par de meses y ahora hierven con versiones que lo colocan en el Toronto FC de la MLS.
Ocurra o no el traspaso, el mismo jugador hoy alimentó el ciclo con un tuit en el que aparece una foto de la radio de su auto, tocando la canción "Jugador Franquicia" de Myke Towers.
