Carioca Championship final Overview

Senegal's national team stars have made a defiant statement by parading the Africa Cup of Nations trophy in front of a sold-out crowd at the Stade de France. Despite a recent ruling that officially stripped them of their continental crown, the Lions of Teranga clearly still consider themselves the rightful champions of Africa.

Moussa Niakhate has broken his silence after the Confederation of African Football took the unprecedented step of stripping Senegal of their Africa Cup of Nations trophy. Following a dramatic walk-off during the final against Morocco, the governing body upheld an appeal, awarding the host nation a 3-0 default victory and sparking outrage among the Senegalese players.

Festive football rarely disappoints, and this year will be no different. Goals are likely over the next couple of weeks.

Jamie Carragher says he should have been "tidier" with his "clumsy" AFCON remarks while "banging the drum" for Mohamed Salah to win the Ballon d'Or.
