There has been a TON of news coming out of the football world. Awards have been handed out and we have had some great matches to watch and analyse. However, one man who didn't even play made all the headlines. Cristiano Ronaldo departed Manchester United's game versus Tottenham Hotspur before the final whistle sounded. It has caused a massive stir in the football community on if Ronaldo was in the right or in the wrong. What we know is that Ronaldo has essentially been suspended by the team for their match against Chelsea. What we don't know is what the future holds further down the road for him and United.
In other football news, Karim Benzema was handed the Ballon d'Or, which he rightfully earned. We are seeing more and more football players succeed at an older age, which should help keep some of the legends around a little longer. Another big talking point from the awards ceremony was Sadio Mane finishing second in Ballon d'Or voting and Jude Bellingham getting snubbed for a couple of awards.
On the pitch, Real Madrid proved their quality versus Barcelona, Liverpool overcame Manchester City and Aston Villa lost 3-0 to Wolves which led to the sacking of Steven Gerrard.
You can hear of this and more on episode 24 of Kicked Back, presented by Uber One, with Caroline and Liam.
