β’ β Dongpeng Beverage (Eastroc), Mengniu and Milkground have reportedly terminated their partnerships with Kylian MbappΓ© following the China controversy.
β’ π± RedNote (Xiaohongshu) had already ended its content partnership with MbappΓ© in 2024.
β’ π On has reportedly removed MbappΓ©-related content from its Chinese social media account, but has NOT confirmed terminating its partnership with him.
β’ πΌ Dior and Hublot have yet to announce any termination of their partnerships with the Real Madrid star.
β’ πΊ China's state broadcaster CCTV has reportedly suspended LaLiga broadcasts amid the controversy.
β’ πͺπΈ LaLiga president Javier Tebas has apologised to Chinese audiences as the league seeks to repair its relationship with the Chinese market.
β’ π° The financial impact on MbappΓ© and LaLiga remains unclear, with no official figures released regarding potential losses.
π¨ The situation continues to develop.
π¨π¨ | ππππ: In 2013, PelΓ© was awarded an honorary Ballon dβOr after being excluded from the award during his playing career because non-European players were ineligible.
If France Football could organize an honorary Ballon dβOr for PelΓ©, why can't they organize one for Robert Lewandowski after the 2020 snub? π

10. Kylian Mbappe π«π·

π¨π¨ | ππππππππ: Jamie Carragher on Bruno Fernandes:
"He runs all over the place like a kid in the school yard for the supporters. They all think heβs working hard, heβs not. Heβs killing the rest of the team".
[@CBSSportsGolazo]
π¨π¨ | ππππππππ: Manchester United call an EMERGENCY board meeting amid growing crisis!
The mood is reportedly terrible, with Eddie Howe emerging as the FAVOURITE for the managerial job.
π³ This would be Unitedβs 9th managerial change in five years!
[@reluctantnick, @TheTransferOne]
π¨π¨ | ππππ: In 1989, the Super Ballon dβOr wasnβt awarded to the player with the most World Cups or Ballon dβOrs. Instead, it went to Alfredo Di StΓ©fano, recognised as the greatest European player of his era and for his dominance in European Cup (champions League) history.
If the same criteria are applied in 2029, Cristiano Ronaldo would be the clear-cut winner, given his dominance in the UEFA Champions League. π³π
