Happy Friday, everybody! The weekend is here and we are approaching the midway point of the January transfer window and the third round of the FA Cup in England. We already have our first instalment of El Clasico lined up in the Supercopa de Espana while the Bundesliga in Germany is also returning after its winter hibernation.

With Barcelona already through to the Spanish Super Cup final, Real Madrid and Mallorca clashed at King Abdullah Sports City for the chance to meet the Catalans on Sunday. The first half featured decent chances from both sides, but neither could find the game's breakthrough.
