Emile Smith Rowe - 6Lively in the opening stages, his pressing unsettling Joel Matip on a couple of occasions, but uncharacteristically sloppy in possession at key moments.
For the first time in 11 years, Ronaldo has failed to make the top three in the voting for the Ballon d’Or, instead ending up in sixth place.

Obviously, when you see the news and the situation of him at Juventus you could imagine that there was no better place for him to go than to go back. In my head, I knew he could go. I knew the news would be true so it wasn’t that much of a surprise to me.
Luis Suarez was substituted on to give Atletico Madrid more firepower, but not even the Uruguayan could rescue the situation for his team as Real Madrid claimed a 10th straight win in all competitions.
But for Tottenham, given their start to the Premier League season and the somewhat state of flux they find themselves in at the moment in terms of their squad, this competition could be a prize worth prioritising.
If United buy Harry Kane and a centre-half partner for Harry Maguire, they will be massive players next year.
