Caen fans protest Mbappé ownership: ‘Not a toy’
SM Caen made their feelings about part-owner Kylian Mbappé clear on Friday, unfurling several banners during their 1-0 defeat to Clermont Foot.
“Mbappé, SMC is not your toy,” one of the signages read, a reference to the ownership group’s decision to sack the popular Nicolas Seube after a disappointing first half of the campaign.
Mbappé became part of the executive group in charge of the club in July when his company’s investment fund bought an 80% stake in Caen from American firm Oaktree Capital.
The relationship between the Mbappés and Caen goes back a long way. In 2014, when Mbappé was 13, he almost signed for them before choosing Monaco.
Caen is located in Normandy, 240km west of Paris. The team sit 16th out of 18 teams in Ligue 2. The bottom two sides in the division are relegated automatically, while the team finishing in 16th enters a relegation playoff with the third-placed team in the league below.

Vini Jr. sorry for red card in Madrid comeback win
Vinícius Júnior apologised after being sent off in Real Madrid’s 2-1 comeback win over Valencia on Friday in the first LaLiga game of 2025.
Hugo Duro put Valencia ahead in the first half at Mestalla Stadium before an eventful second period saw Jude Bellingham miss a penalty — hitting the post — and Kylian Mbappé have a goal disallowed for offside.
Vinícius was shown a red card for striking Valencia keeper Stole Dimitrievski before substitute Luka Modric levelled for Madrid in the 85th minute and Bellingham scored a dramatic added-time winner.
The result means Madrid go ahead of Atlético Madrid at the top of the LaLiga table, two points clear of their rivals and having played a game more.
“Sorry, and thanks team!!!!!!” Vinícius posted on X after the match.
The Brazil international reacted angrily when he was shown the red card in the 79th minute, and he was restrained from confronting referee Cesar Soto Grado by teammate Antonio Rüdiger and goalkeeping coach Luis Llopis.
“We think it wasn’t a red card, it was two yellows,” coach Carlo Ancelotti said in his postmatch news conference. “The team was able to react to the penalty miss and the disallowed goal. It’s hard to explain how bad our first half was and how good the second half was. … We can’t show these two faces.”
Real Madrid, with both dismissals coming at Mestalla. He was also red-carded in Madrid’s 1-0 defeat to Valencia on May 21, 2023, a game in which he had earlier confronted a group of home fans for racially abusing him.
“We’ll appeal [the dismissal],” Ancelotti said. “I don’t know if they’ll accept it. We think it wasn’t a red. … It was a touch from Dimitrievski and then a push from Vini. I think two yellows would have been enough … I don’t know if [Vini] can play our next game, let’s hope so. He’s still a decisive player for us.”
Bellingham’s penalty miss was the third time Madrid have failed to score from the spot this season, after Mbappé was unable to convert against Liverpool and Athletic Club.
“It annoys me that we’ve missed three penalties,” Ancelotti said. “I’ll have to choose who’s going to take them.”
England star Bellingham had an otherwise outstanding game, providing the passes for Mbappé’s disallowed goal and Modric’s equalizer before scoring himself in the 95th minute to give his side the win.
“A great game from him,” Ancelotti said. “The missed penalty gave him extra motivation. His last 20 minutes showed what only he can do … [the goal] was a reward for the game he had.”

Ten-man Real Madrid moved top of LALIGA with a late 2-1 victory over Valencia on Friday night.
LALIGA
Result: Valencia 1-2 Real Madrid
Date: 03 January 2025
Venue: Mestalla
Madrid were boosted by the return from injury of Vinicius Junior, who joined Kylian Mbappe, Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham in attack.
Los Blancos had the bulk of possession in the opening exchanges but it was Valencia who looked more dangerous on transitions.
It was no surprise just before the half-hour mark after Hugo Duro broke the deadlock for Los Ches with a strike from a rebound after goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois parried a shot by Javi Guerra.
Carlo Ancelotti’s charges pinned Valencia in their own half for the latter part of the first stanza but they were wasteful in front of goal and went to the break trailing by an odd goal.
Madrid had a lifeline early from the break after they were awarded a penalty for a foul on Mbappe in the box.
However, Bellingham could not capitalize for the visitors, after his spot-kick came off the post.
Mbappe thought he had finally made it 1-1 for Los Blancos on the hour-mark, after he latched onto a through ball by Bellingham, rounded shot-stopper Stole Dimitrievski and rolled the ball into an empty net but the goal was chalked off for offside by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR).
Madrid continued to have the momentum with 22 minutes to go as Ancelotti brought on Brahim Diaz in place of Rodrygo for fresh legs in attack.
Things got bad for Los Blancos in the last ten minutes after they were down to ten men following the red-card of Vinicius Junior, who was sent off for shoving down Dimitrievski.
However, Luka Modric levelled matters for Madrid five minutes later with a toe-poked effort in the box after a sustained pressure.
Ancelotti’s men were pushing for the winner in the closing minutes and Bellingham sealed the three points in stoppages with a shot past Dimitrievski in a one-on-one, after a mistake at the back by Valencia.
Madrid opened a two-point lead at the top of the standings.

Khanyiso Mayo’s CR Belouizdad leapfrogged Orlando Pirates in Group C after defeating Al Ahly in CAF Champions League action on Friday night.
CAF Champions League
Result: CR Belouizdad 1-0 Al Ahly
Date: 03 January 2025
Venue: Stade du 5 Juillet 1962
South African Percy Tau was among players who were dropped from the goalless draw against ENPPI in the league, as The Red Devils only retained Abdou Ali in a new attack that also had Hussein El Shahat, Amr Solia and Karim El Debes.
Fellow Bafana striker Khanyisa Mayo was in the line-up for Belouizdad, who were hammered 6-1 by the same side in mid December.
Chances were few and far between in the opening exchanges, with the sides limited to shots from range which were not accurate.
Al Ahly had the momentum after the half-hour mark but it was CRB who got the first shot on target ten minutes before the interval after Islam Belkhir was denied by goalkeeper Mohamed El Shenawy.
The game opened up towards the end of the first stanza, as Rami Rabia also had a chance for Marcel Koller’s charges with a header that that was gathered by shot-stopper Moustapha Zeghba.
Mayo also came close to breaking the deadlock for Belouizdad at the other end on the stroke of half-time with a header in the box that was kept out by El Shenawy, as the sides went to the break without goals.
The Algerian side showed urgency from the interval but they were not finding their way through and just after they hour-mark they made an attacking change as Islam Slimani replaced Aimen Mahious for fresh legs up top.
Al Ahly hardly threatened going forward and with 12 minutes to go also introduced the fresh legs of Akram Tawfik and Mohamed Magdi Kafsha, in attack and midfield respectively.
However, CRB continued to pressurize the Egyptian giants in the dying minutes and Naoufel Khacef finally broke the deadlock in added time with a strike from a rebound after El Shenawy saved Hedy Chaabi’s shot in the box.
Belouizdad moved up to second in Group C, one point behind The Red Devils and one point ahead of third-placed Orlando Pirates, who are in action against bottom side Stade d’Abidjan on Saturday evening at Orlando Stadium.

Salah on Liverpool future: ‘My last year at the club’
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah reaffirmed Friday that he is preparing for this to be his last season at the Merseyside club as negotiations have stalled over a new contract.
Salah’s existing deal is set to expire at the end of the season, with teammates Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk also out of contract in the summer.

The 32-year-old Egypt international has so far enjoyed a stunning individual campaign, registering 17 goals and 13 assists in the league to help Liverpool build up a six-point lead at the top of the table.
Negotiations over a new deal have been ongoing with Salah’s camp for months; however, he confirmed Friday that he and the club are still a long way from coming to an agreement.
Asked whether he believes this will be his last season at Liverpool, Salah told Sky Sports: “So far? Yes. Into the last six months, there is no progress there, we’re far away from any progress, so we just need to wait and see.”
Speaking about his ambitions at the start of the season, Salah said: “The first thing that was on the list was to win the Premier League with Liverpool.
“In my interviews over the last seven or eight years, I always say [I want to win the] Champions League. But this is the first time I’m saying I really want to win the Premier League with Liverpool.”
When asked why that is, he added: “I have no idea. It’s probably because we didn’t celebrate the one we won in the way we wanted and also, coming back here too, it’s my last year in the club so you want to do something special for the city. That was the thing in my head.
“We waited for that title for 30 years or so. So, to win it and it was the pandemic at that time, we didn’t really have time to celebrate it in the right way. It’s not a nice thing to do, so hopefully we can do it this year.”
sources confirming to ESPN that Liverpool rebuffed an offer from Real Madrid for the England international.
Salah, Alexander Arnold and Van Dijk all played key roles in Liverpool’s Premier League title-winning in campaign in 2019-20 and their Champions League triumph in 2019. They have also won the FA Cup (2022), Carabao Cup (2022, 2024), UEFA Super Cup (2019) and Club World Cup (2019) during their time at Anfield.
Liverpool begin 2025 with an eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League table, having earned 45 points from their first 18 games. Slot’s team host Manchester United in their next fixture on Jan. 5.
