One of sport's all-time greats was writing another chapter in his incredible career story this week.

Quarterback Tom Brady led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a 31-9 victory over Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV, claiming his fifth MVP award in the NFL showpiece.

It was also the 43-year-old's seventh Super Bowl title as the Bucs won on home turf in Florida.

Over in football, Bayern Munich defeated Tigres UANL 1-0 in the Club World Cup final in Qatar to make it a remarkable six consecutive major honours for the German club.

Winning the Fifa showpiece, meant Bayern added a sixth trophy to their 2019-20 Bundesliga, German Cup, European Cup and the domestic and Uefa Super Cup prizes.

Another serial winner, the evergreen Zlatan Ibrahimovic, broke the 500-goal barrier in his amazing club career.

The 39-year-old scored twice in AC Milan's 4-0 Serie A battering of Crotone, maintaining his form 22 years after making his professional debut for Swedish club Malmo in 1999.

In England, Liverpool's grip on the Premier League trophy is hanging by a thread after a disastrous week of action.

First, they were thrashed 4-1 at home to league leaders Manchester City, then they followed that up by losing 3-1 at Leicester City, despite being one-goal up with 12 minutes to go.
