Mbappé makes it 59 goals in a year in win over Sevilla
Juventus stay in Serie A race with 2-1 win over Roma
Kylian Mbappé equalled Cristiano Ronaldo’s record of 59 goals in a calendar year for Real Madrid with a late penalty in his side’s 2-0 home win over Sevilla in La Liga on Saturday, the French forward celebrating his 27th birthday in style.
Mbappé missed several earlier chances before getting his chance from the spot four minutes from time and he made no mistake to net his 59th goal in as many games across all competitions in 2025 to level Ronaldo’s 2013 haul.
Premier Cho Jung-tai said late on Friday that the man had been the subject of an arrest warrant, wanted for suspected evasion of Taiwan's compulsory military service.

The Africa Cup of Nations will be held every four years instead of every two from 2028, the Confederation of African Football (Caf) has announced.

19 décembre (Reuters) - Le groupe chinois ByteDance, propriétaire de TikTok, a signé des accords contraignants avec trois grands investisseurs pour la vente d'un peu plus de 80% des actifs américains de la plateforme, qui seront détenus par une nouvelle entité contrôlée par des investisseurs américains et mondiaux, a déclaré jeudi le directeur général de TikTok, Shou Zi Chew, à des employés.
Cette opération, réclamée par l'administration du président américain Donald Trump pour éviter à TikTok d'être interdite aux Etats-Unis, permet d'avancer vers l'épilogue d'un feuilleton qui a alimenté ces dernières années l'incertitude autour de l'avenir de la plateforme sur le territoire américain.
Donald Trump avait initialement tenté en 2020, au cours de son premier mandat, d'interdire TikTok aux Etats-Unis, où l'application de vidéos est désormais utilisée régulièrement par plus de 170 millions d'Américains.
