Veteran Portuguese Vieirinha scored the winning goal to give PAOK Thessaloniki a 1-0 win over AEK Athens on Sunday, ensuring the Abel Ferreira's champions remain one point behind Super League leaders Olympiacos.

Pedro Martins’ table-toppers are still undefeated in the league this season after a 4-0 win over Lamia, on a weekend which saw typically high Portuguese involvement across the schedule.

It was an encouraging afternoon for Portuguese prodigy Rafael Leão as the striker scored and showed signs of a positive partnership with Zlatan Ibrahimovic during Milan's 2-0 win at Cagliari on Saturday.

Leão scored the opener and was heavily involved for the Rossoneri, who sealed the point when Zlatan added the second goal on his first full appearance since returning to the club. The partnership between the players, with 18 years difference between them, has been the focus of Leão’s social media activity this week.

Bernardo Silva scored a sensational long-range goal and later provided an assist as Manchester City put themselves firmly on track for the Carabao Cup final with a 3-1 victory over rivals Manchester United.

City dominated much of the first half at Old Trafford to command a 3-0 lead at the break, with Bernardo’s opener on 17 minutes the eye-catching moment of a match in which the visitors avenged a 2-1 defeat to United on home turf last month. Diogo Dalot was an unused substitute for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s United.

Cristiano Ronaldo started the new year in the same way he finished the last with three goals and an assist in Juventus’ 4-0 victory over Cagliari in Turin on Monday afternoon.

Having ended 2019 with six goals in seven matches for the Bianconeri, Ronaldo’s hat-trick against Cagliari moved the Portugal captain onto 13 Serie A goals from just 15 appearances and helped Juventus move back to the top of the table.
