🙌 Holy VAR
Raphael Veiga made a rough tackle on his opponent and was shown a straight red card. After a VAR review, the referee changed it to a yellow.
O árbitro Anthony Taylor deu o cartão vermelho direto para Raphael Veiga em Palmeiras x Al Ahly. Justo ou exagero?#CopaDoMundoDeClubespic.twitter.com/d0h2majes4

Esse lance duraria 37 minutos no VAR brasileiro e era bem capaz dele manter o vermelho para o Veiga

É lindo quando O VAR é usado de forma correta, justa e rápida, não é? Por que será que NÃO CONSEGUIMOS fazer isso aqui? Mas que fique a lição. Volta o Veiga, sem expulsão.

So, was it a red or was the yellow enough? Give your opinion!
🐐 Messi on Goat Day
When his team needs him, he shows up! Messi took a perfect free kick and secured a comeback 2-1 win over Porto.
It was the Argentine genius’s first goal in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
Gol dele, gol de Lionel Messi… e que gol! 👏👏👏
É o primeiro do craque argentino na Copa do Mundo de Clubes da Fifa!#CopaDoMundoDeClubespic.twitter.com/xcKHycOlaB

🔥 History Written
Botafogo beat PSG 1-0 and broke a taboo that had lasted since 2012, when Corinthians were the last South American team to beat a European side in the Club World Cup.
The internet, of course, “broke” with the Libertadores champion’s victory over the Champions League winner.
GOLEADA EM TIME BRASILEIRO? AQUI NÃO, PSG!
O Botafogo colocou os franceses na roda! É tempo 🔥#CopaDoMundoDeClubespic.twitter.com/eVQUwcxtOZ
