Real Madrid castigates UEFA president Michel Platini's claim that a German should win the Ballon d'Or and not Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo, a two-time winner, is seen as a possible winner of the award by January, but Platini stated in a report that one of these shortlisted Germans: Toni Kroos, Philipp Lahm, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Manuel Neuer, Thomas Muller and Mario Gotze, should earn it. Blancos coach Carlo Ancelotti and president Florentino Perez, who both support Ronaldo, decry this statement. Also on Friday, Madrid released a statement criticising Platini's comment, while Madrid Fabio Coentrao described Michel's comment as 'disgraceful.'

Chelsea won't sign new players - Jose Mourinho

Chelsea will make no signings in the January transfer window, says manager Jose Mourinho. The team has enough capable and balanced players to even out in the coming competitions. The Blues have six matches before January 1, with the first starting today against Hull City. Mourinho plans to rest his senior players for this Yuletide season, saying he is doubtful any one player should appear in all the six matches. The manager has granted his European-based players a two-day 'holiday' to rest and 'have a nice dinner with their families'. The former Real Madrid manager's side meets Hull City in the Premier league today. Petr Cech will replace injured skipper goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in the Hull City face-off. Cesc Fabregas is ruled out for suspension and midfielder Nemanja Matic joins the squad after ban.
