A few months beyond 20 years since a crunch group tie at the World Cup, South Korea and Portugal are ready to do it all again. This time it will be all or nothing for South Korea with only a win being enough, while also needing Uruguay to narrowly beat Ghana. The irony being that Bento played for Portugal in that 2002 humiliation against South Korea. Since the start of the 2010-11 campaign, Son has scored more goals in Europe's top five leagues than any other South Korea player (137). Son also had the most shots (40), shots on target (19), scored the most goals (5) and created the most chances (27) of any player for South Korea during qualifying.

Australian Open: Raducanu seeking Kane's advice

Welcome to the weird world of pandemic era men's tennis, where the world number five is unmistakably the man to beat. Novak Djokovic sits head and shoulders above the rest for now, and those ranked higher would surely recognise that too, as the Australian Open arrives. Over the coming fortnight, Djokovic will chase down a 10th Australian Open title and a record-equalling 22nd men's singles major. But look, if you think crowd pressure is going to get to Novak Djokovic, you haven't watched enough Novak Djokovic. Tennis being tennis, strange things can happen, but given his kind draw it is hard to see anyone beating Djokovic before the quarter-final stage.

Conte: 'Impossible' to rest Tottenham's World Cup stars

It may sound bizarre in practically every way, but the Premier League resumes on Boxing Day following its mid-season World Cup break. Their season resumes at home to West Ham on Monday, with all eyes on how well they adapt without the Brazilian. They won each of their previous nine Premier League home games before the season's break, with six of those wins coming this season. Certainly, for West Ham, the only way is up. It's become a bit of a feature in the Premier League, and Monday's trip to Arsenal puts his record back in the spotlight.

Bayern Munich 2-0 Inter: Pavard and Choupo-Moting keep Bavarians perfect

Bayern Munich finished their Champions League group-stage campaign with a 100 per cent record as Benjamin Pavard and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting scored in a 2-0 win over Inter on Tuesday. With Bayern and Inter already guaranteed to finish first and second in Group C respectively, the hosts were the more coherent of two much-changed sides at the Allianz Arena. Following a decent start from Inter, Pavard met Joshua Kimmich's delivery to put the hosts ahead, before Choupo-Moting added some gloss with a brilliant long-range strike after the break. Bayern punished Inter for that miss after 32 minutes, as Pavard escaped Martinez's attentions to nod Kimmich's corner into the bottom-right corner. Pavard's opener ensured Bayern have scored in their last 22 home matches in the Champions League, setting a new club record in the competition.

Liverpool 2-0 Napoli: Salah strike ends Spalletti's side's unbeaten start

However, the 33-year-old has proved himself to be a capable deputy this season, and has now scored on each of his last five Champions League starts.

England and Scotland set for 150th anniversary clash to celebrate first international

He moved to PSG and, after a somewhat underwhelming first season on an individual level, Messi is thriving again this season. "I think that no matter how many [superstars] are at PSG, Messi is followed much less than when he was at Barcelona. However, Tebas feels LaLiga still holds its own compared to the Premier League in a sporting sense. "It is difficult for us to reach the Premier League economically, due to a population issue, but at a technological and sporting level, we are competing," he said. I think we are not bad and we can withstand the pull of the Premier League, despite the fact that economically they may be stronger.
