The old lady stands at the abyss
President Andrea Agnelli resigned a few weeks ago after discrepancies in Juventus Turin’s balance sheet became known. In the new year, the full extent of the financial disaster could now come to light. According to the ‘Corriere dello Sport’, Turin’s public prosecutor Chiné will initiate criminal proceedings against the record champions in 2023. “Look here Juve, here’s the proof”, is the headline in the sports newspaper today.

Erling “Bang” Haaland
Erling Haaland was never gone. At least that was the feeling when the City striker scored 1-0 against Liverpool after 10 minutes last night (final score 3-2).

The ‘Manchester Evening News’ ran the headline with a jubilant picture of the 22-year-old: “Uh, do you remember who I am?”

After the disappointing World Cup preliminary round with Belgium, the 31-year-old is now apparently starting his third attempt at a breakthrough at the Bernabeu. “Hazard rebels against his fate”, writes the ‘as’. The offensive artist inspired coach Carlo Ancelotti with his will in training. Ancelotti got the impression that Hazard “with a knife between his teeth” returned to Madrid.
