Most of the European leagues return from winter break next weekend. Until then, we are light on actual games.

Weekend Notes

• Diego Lainez has officially joined Real Betis. But how will he fit in at the club?
• Celta Vigo lost 4-2 but Nestor Araujo had another solid game and even chipped in with a goal. He has 17 appearances and 15 starts across all competitions for Celta Vigo this season.
• Antonio Briseno keeps plugging away in Portugal. His side was able to salvage a draw over the weekend. Pollo was the highest rated player on his club and played a big role in limiting Rio Aves to one goal. He deserves a look with the national team in 2019.
• Uriel Antuna has had his loan deal with FC Groningen cut short 6 months ahead of schedule. Santos is allegedly interested in taking him on loan.
• Club America released their 3rd kit and people do not seem to be fans of the new look.
