- Vlad Chiricheș/FCSB: Vlad Chiricheș drew praise from the specialists after his solid performance in the match against Unirea Slobozia. Although he was no longer considered a solution for FCSB, owner Gigi Becali was delighted with Chiricheș' play as a defensive midfielder.
FOTBAL International
- FCSB/Europa League: FCSB - Olympiakos. Record attendance for the Europa League match, where over 40,000 fans of the champions are expected. The match promises to be a gala spectacle. Romanian champions FCSB want to qualify for the European spring, while the Greek owner has promised special bonuses for his players' victory.
- Radu Drăgușin/Tottenham: Radu Drăgușin, precise performance in Spurs' 4-0 win over Manchester City. The Romanian full-back was praised by coach Ange Postecoglou, as his play was considered essential to the annihilation of City superstar Haaland.
- Istvan Kovacs: Istvan Kovacs has been appointed to lead one of the Champions League's most important duels, Bayern Munich v PSG.
- Ianis Hagi: The case of Ianis Hagi at Rangers, continues to cause astonishment among journalists, football people and supporters.

Transfers
- CFR Cluj/Andrea Compagno: CFR have made an offer to former FCSB striker Andrea Compagno, who will remain free of contract from January 1, 2025. The striker reportedly declined Cluj's offer, claiming he has more substantial offers from other teams.

- Darius Olaru: Darius Olaru is edging ever closer to a move to Glasgow Rangers. The captain of champions FCSB is likened to Kevin de Bruyne, and the €5m termination clause demanded by Gigi Becali is not an obstacle for the Ibrox club.
TENIS
- Ion Țiriac/Simona Halep: Ion Țiriac believes that Simona Halep will not have the strength to return to the level that has established her in world tennis and that she is heading for retirement. Because of the suspension that kept her away from official competition for two years and repeated injuries, Simona has had to start from scratch to get back on the circuit.
