The Bianconeri stretched their lead at the top of Serie A to six points last weekend, and can go nine clear with a win at San Siro, at least temporarily, as second-placed Napoli play on Sunday. “There’s still a lot to do. We still have to win the Scudetto, despite the fact I’ve heard all week that Juventus have already won the Scudetto and the only discussion is second place,” Allegri was quoted as saying by football-italia....

In case you didn’t know… After spending nine seasons with Real Madrid and becoming the highest goalscorer of the club, Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Juventus last summer. Juventus have already secured their eighth consecutive Serie A title and Ronaldo remains the most pivotal player in the squad with 19 goals and 8 assists in the league. But the Old Lady suffered a shock exit from Champions League against Ajax despite the Portuguese talisman scoring all five goals for his team in the knockout rounds....

The Good Juan Francisco Estrada’s scintillating performance. Estrada shouted to anyone within an earshot that the rematch with Srisaket Sor Rungvisai on Friday night would be different. He felt injuries hampered his performance in February 2018, when Sor Rungvisai won in one of the year’s best bouts. Fight fans have heard the injury excuse coming out of boxers’ mouths before. But on this night, Estrada’s reasoning proved to be accurate, as he set the tone from the opening bell to win an easy decision to capture the WBC super flyweight championship....

The right-back was forced off with Atletico drawing 1-1 at the break, as Sime Vrsaljko replaced him at full-back before what proved to be a frantic second period. Griezmann grabs dramatic winner Atletico confirmed soon after his withdrawal that Juanfran’s problem was localised to his right hamstring and is now likely to be touch-and-go for the trip to Leverkusen on February 21 in the Champions League.

Real Madrid proved to be too strong for their city rivals on both occasions, denying Diego Simeone’s men the chance to claim their maiden title in the competition. Atletico have made a poor start to this season’s edition, drawing away to Roma and losing at home to Premier League champions Chelsea, leaving them third in Group C ahead of a double-header with bottom side Qarabag. Although Atletico have a lot of work to do if they are to make it into the knockout rounds of the tournament, right-back Juanfran is sure Atletico will win the Champions League one day....

The Cowboys quarterback filed the lawsuit against the league earlier in February, claiming the NFL shut down his National Fantasy Football Convention by forcing players and NFL Media employees who had committed to the event to instead cancel. “This case is about the NFL’s blatant and premeditated sabotage of an event designed to bring together the very people who are the backbone of the NFL — the players and the fans,” the lawsuit stated....

The troopers were instructed to “reroute such vehicles back to its point of origin or a port of entry,” though troopers were also given the authority to impound any vehicles thought to be in violation....

U.S. District Judge David Carter attributed the ruling to evidence and said that the congressional committee investigating the Capitol attack could obtain emails by John Eastman, a lawyer for Trump, Reuters reported. Carter’s ruling is a sign of progress for the Jan. 6 Select Committee, which has been trying to gain access to emails that Eastman has so far withheld while citing attorney-client privilege. Carter wrote in his ruling that the illegality of Trump’s plan, described earlier in the document as a “plan to disrupt the electoral count,” was “obvious....

Epstein was arrested in July 2019 on charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking. Allegedly, Epstein procured women to have sexual relations with high-profile individuals, such as Prince Andrew. Information about Epstein, culled from a 2015 civil suit filed against Epstein by Giuffre, allegedly contained the names of individuals with whom Epstein had conducted business. Senior U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska ruled Wednesday that Giuffre’s lawyers had come into possession of the documents improperly, noting that the protective order could only be enforced during the civil lawsuit proceedings which had already been settled....

Just look at the 61-year-old Franco standing in the batter’s box during a workout with the Lotte Giants of the KBO. He’s their hitting coach.

Liverpool won all five of their games in the Premier League during the festive December period, which is the most gruelling and tiresome period of the year for teams in England’s top division.

This was Klopp’s fourth manager of the month award this season, with the German emerging victorious in four out of the last five months since this season began....
