In Al-Nassr’s 4-1 victory over Al-Khaleej in the Saudi Pro League, Cristiano Ronaldo resurrects the year with a stunning overhead kick.

In the sixth minute of stoppage time at Al-Awwal Park in Riyadh, the 40-year-old rose in the middle of the penalty area to cross Nawaf Boushal’s right-wing cross.

Al-Nassr was four points clear at the top of the table as a result of Victory.

Luke Littler, the reigning world number one, defeated fellow Englishman Nathan Aspinall 11-8 to win his first Players Championship Finals title in Minehead.

Just one week after winning the Grand Slam of Darts in Wolverhampton and topping the world rankings for the first time, the 18-year-old added a new trophy to his collection after being defeated by Luke Humphries in last year’s final.

Littler held on in the decider and scored 88 on the final run to claim his sixth televised title, reducing the deficit to 9-8 at one point by winning four of the five legs.

After the win, Littler told ITV, “I’m very proud to have this one crossed off the list; there are only two more left.”

The European Championship and the World Masters are the only major awards Littler has currently lost.

Even though Littler’s opponent threw seven maximum 180s, one more than “The Nuke,” Littler averaged 103.33 to Aspinall’s 93.64 in Sunday’s final.

Littler claimed that it was difficult to make it to the final.

Aspinall has been playing really well for a while, so I had to dig in at the end. I’m glad I succeeded in my goal.

I used to be myself, but now I’m starting to lose some of my emotion. Next month, I’m anticipating the big one.

Before falling to top seed and former world champion Gerwyn Price of Wales 11-8, Littler defeated Chris Dobey 10-5 in the final earlier in the day to claim his place in the final.

By prevailing 11-2 against Jermaine Wattimena of the Netherlands, Aspinall had already advanced to his seventh major final.

In the same matchup, Gian van Veen defeated England’s Beau Greaves 6-3 in the final of the Minehead World Youth Championship.

Greaves became the first woman to reach the World Youth final after posting a heart-felt 6-5 victory over reigning champion Luke Littler last month.

However, Van Veen, the defending champion, held off the 21-year-old Doncaster, who came back to almost level the tie at 4-3.

Van Veen, who lost to Poland’s Krzysztof Ratajski in the second round of the Players Championship, held his resolve to win the youth title after Dimitri van den Bergh won it for the first time in 2018.

Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee leaving in January to further their World Cup ambitions is not ruled out, according to Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim, who insists that the club’s goals will come first.

This season, neither player has started a Premier League game. Since starting against Burnley at half-time on August 30th, Mainoo has played for 93 minutes while Zirkzee has only played 82 of those minutes.

Both players are known to dislike the situation and are eager to re-establish their positions as international partners with England and the Netherlands, respectively, before the US, Canada, and Mexico’s summer tournaments in the future.

Amorim claims he will only approve moves if they are appropriate for United, but he shares their sympathies.

He claimed that he played football. In every circumstance, I want to assist my players, and I understand everything.

Given that the World Cup is taking place, I understand the frustration of some players. I am aware of its significance.

“The club comes first, though,” he said. I’ll be happy if I can support the club and the players. If not, I must consider the team.

The departures of Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo from the Africa Cup of Nations next month could have a positive impact on Mainoo and Zirkzee, respectively.

That is unrelated to Matheus Cunha’s odd case, who had a “minor” injury that club source described as “minor” and made a planned Saturday appearance to turn on the Altrincham Christmas lights.

Prior to Monday’s game against Everton at Old Trafford, United are five games without an unbeaten run.

However, United’s most recent draws at Nottingham Forest and Tottenham, where Amorim’s side wasted first-half lead, necessitated late equalisers, were drawless.

The former Sporting manager is reluctant to declare the “storm” he predicted when he first arrived at the club has passed.

He said, “I don’t like to say the storm is over.” “It’s my job, especially in our club, to always feel like a storm is coming.”
