Se olvida de Tigres: Le champion du monde, Florian Thauvin, encontró nuevo club

Florian Thauvin llegó a Tigres en 2021 con el cartel de haber sido campeón del mundo con Francia en el Mundial de 2018 y con un salario de 5,8 millones de dólares por temporada, el más alto de la Liga MX.

La idea era que con sus desbordes y centros alimentara a André-Pierre Gignac para destrozar la competencia y crear una dinastía felina que nadie sería capaz de olvidar.

Veinte meses después, sin embargo, Thauvin es historia.

Comedy of errors between Napoli and Juve with an accidental uppercut and physio getting hit sticked

Serie A leaders Napoli torched Juventus 5-1 on Friday with Victor Osimhen scoring a brace. The Nigerian forward put the hurt on Juve metaphorically and literally.

In the 47th minute Osimhen accidentally landed a perfect uppercut on Manuel Locatelli. The Napoli No. 9 had already burned Juventus in the first half, so Alex Sandro was hassling and grabbing at him right as the second half began.

Osimhen threw his arms up in protest after being dispossessed of the ball but little did he know Locatelli was right next to him. What followed was something straight out of UFC.
