Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema was named UEFA Player of the Year and Carlo Ancelotti took the coaching honors after they led the club to a record-extending 14th Champions League title last season.
Benzema was in red-hot form, scoring 15 times in the competition and lifting the trophy for a fifth time in his career after the Spanish side beat Liverpool in the final.

Las hispanas hicieron prevalecer el favoritismo que cargaban sobre sus hombros, pero no fue pan comido: México nunca bajó los brazos y la batalló hasta el pitazo final.

Charlyn Corral anotó un doblete en la goleada 4-1 sobre Querétaro y llegó a la cima del campeonato de goleo de la Liga MX Femenil con un total de ocho conquistas. La delantera tuvo una performance sólida, pero la conversación hoy no gira en torno a su gran nivel de juego, sino que a los gestos poco amistosos que hizo a parte de la afición en los festejos de su primer gol.
Si me preguntan a mí, gestos bien justificados.
