We discuss the way the journeys of the two icons of international football Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are at their dusk. The scenarios couldn't be more starkly different. For the Argentinian maestro, it ends in glory and for the Portuguese superstar, it ends in acrimony with the newly appointed coach Jorge Jesus and the Portugal FA. We present our opinions on what could and should happen to give a graceful exit to this legend.
As far as popularity contests go, there is nothing bigger than the Ballon D'or ceremony. The race is led by the English veteran Harry Kane, the new La' Masia prodigy Lamine Yamal and the ever-present French Real Madrid talisman Kylian Mbappe. We rate their chances on trophies, goalscoring and football statistics and individual brilliance.
Finally we discuss as injury woes have gripped Liverpool and Chelsea as the face the controversy draped Man City and winless B'mouth. At the same point Manchester United looks desperate to turn a leaf over the underwhelming start by beating the 20th placed Tottenham managed by Roberto De Zerbi.
