Over the weekend, between the market and the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup, there were several special moments.
Let's take a look at those you might have missed but that definitely deserve to be remembered.
😭 Pogba's tears at the signing
At the time of his signing with Monaco, Paul Pogba burst into tears. An intense moment for the French midfielder who will return to the field after a doping ban that kept him away from the fields for 2 years.

More tears, but for different reasons: Angel Di Maria played his last game of his career with Benfica and in Europe. His penalty at 95' against Chelsea had raised hopes for a stunning comeback, which then vanished in extra time. Now he's waiting for his return home: to Rosario Central.

Estêvão's talent has also been noticed in this Club World Cup, and it's clear why Chelsea invested 60 million euros in him. In the round of 16 against Botafogo, he gave classy touches, particularly this sombrero.

The interruption of Benfica-Chelsea due to bad weather lasted over two hours, and therefore the players had to stay warm. The solution was straightforward: bringing the exercise bikes from the sidelines and the gym into the locker rooms.

During a game of "Operazione Nostalgia", Prophet Hernanes stole the show from Francesco Totti: a penalty kick with his left foot (he's ambidextrous) and the ball near the post. The celebration hasn't changed despite the years: a capriole jump like a true gymnast.

Despite a performance below his standards, Messi was still the star of PSG-Inter Miami. Achraf Hakimi knows it well, as he rushed to ask for the N.10's jersey at the 90th minute, insisting on getting it immediately: a gift to have right away.

In the locker room, however, Ousmane Dembelé posted a photo with all the clothes worn by Messi during the game. Did he borrow them from his teammates just for the photo or did he get other items from his former teammate?
