There are hundreds of "best El Clasico" list articles out there with very little discrepancy among them. Lionel Messi's 2017 last-minute winner before lifting his jersey to a stunned Bernabéu? Obviously. Gareth Bale's surging run in the 2014 Copa del Rey Final? Gotta watch it. The 2011 Champions League semifinals? Pure drama.

Manchester United fans closely following this current campaign are well aware of young Anthony Elanga. The rest of Europe is now taking notice after the teenager salvaged a 1-1 draw against Atlético Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 on Wednesday.
United struggled for long portions of the match at the Wanda Metropolitano; Cristiano Ronaldo often had to drop deep into his own half just to get a touch of the ball. After an early goal from João Félix, it looked like a classic Diego Simeone victory over a British side.
Enter Anthony Elanga.
El minutaje de Héctor Herrera en el Atlético de Madrid no ha sido muy alto esta temporada. HH apenas acumula 563 minutos a través de todas las competencias y su futuro como colchonero es una incógnita.
MANCHESTER — Cristiano Ronaldo broke his goal drought to score Manchester United's opener in a 2-0 victory vs. Brighton & Hove Albion that lifted them into the Premier League's top four on Tuesday.
Ronaldo, without a goal since December and dropped to the bench by interim manager Ralf Rangnick in some recent matches, struck five minutes after halftime with a superb finish after being played in by Scott McTominay.
My WORD what a strike from Ronaldo!
Cristiano Ronaldo not only breaks records when he scores a goal. Off the field, every time that he posts a photo or a video on Instagram, the internet explodes.
Numbers don't lie (they do, but shhh!), and here are two events that prove his popularity in the social network:
Decir que el hijo de Cristiano Ronaldo es un ávido fan de la Selección Mexicana seguro que sería una distorsión de la realidad. Sin embargo, la aparición del niño con un jersey del Tri en la serie “Soy Cristina”, al menos dejó la pregunta dando botes.
La escena es parte del tercer capítulo de la producción que sigue la vida de Georgina Rodríguez, actual pareja de CR7, y en ella Cristiano Jr. luce la linda playera de color negro que México usó durante la Copa Oro 2019, cuando el equipo aún era capaz de ganarle a Estados Unidos.
There’s been a lot of talk — A LOT — about how the USMNT is going to play three World Cup qualifiers in frigid temperatures this international break. Almost every post the @USMNT Twitter account has made this week has highlighted the fact it gets kinda cold in the northern parts of the U.S. in the winter.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a marvel; the 36-year-old continues to be one of the best forwards in the history of the beautiful game. But sometimes marvels can pout like spoiled kids, as happened when we saw Ronaldo benched by Manchester United coach Ralf Rangnick on Wednesday.
