games, and i think it is not necessary to compare what you have done in the past in terms of facing bayernbronjames and the cleveland cavaliers as they look to tie their record winning streak. they're hoping for a 13th straight win when they host the sacramento kings. while the cavs are second in the eastern conference, it's not been a memorable season so farfor the kings. they're 14th in the western conference with just seven wins from their 23 games and lost their last game at the milwaukee bucks. atletico madrid who've played in two of the last four champions league finals won't be competing in the knockout stages this year after failing to progress from their group. diego simeone's side drew 1—1 with chelsea in london meaning they'll drop into the europa league while roma moved through with the stamford bridge outfit. manchester united needed to come from a goal down to win 2—1 at home to cska moscow. jose mourinho's side required a point in their final match to guarantee top spot but romelu lukaku and marcus rashford strikes handed them all three points. iam i am really happy, because

them 16 points clear at the top but would also see manager pep guardiola equal his own record with bayern hear you talk about the numbers, breakers, records. that is a consequence of what we do on the pitch. i am a consequence of what we do on the pitch. iam not a consequence of what we do on the pitch. i am not here to comment about the record because it is simple to say that we break it or not. but that is not what counts. what counts is what you have to do against crystal palace, what you have to do against the amazing four strikers they have. pep guardiola has had to answer lots of questions about record this season. celtic go into the winter break with an eight—point lead over aberdeen at the top of the scottish premiership after the old firm derby ended in stalemate. brendan rodgers' side had the best of it in the first half, with scott sinclair twice missing good chances. but in the second half rangers were denied by some brilliant saves from craig gordon. they stay in third, 11 points behind the leaders. elsewhere there were wins for hamilton, partick and dundee. serena williams s

dortmund have since dropped to seventh, now 13 points behind current leaders bayern munich and have been cologne last weekend. thejoburg open golf — will be decided on monday after play was abandoned at the randpark golf club, due to to thunderstorms. 0vernight leader — india's shubankhar sharma continues to lead — his advantage now four shots with 11 holes to play. he was only able to play seven shots on sunday and birdied two of them — before play was suspended. american skier lindsey vonn was forced to miss sunday's racing at the world cup in st moritz after compressing her spine in the super g on saturday. she said it was mainly a precautionary measure. meanwhile austria's marcel hirscher got a record 14th podium on the slopes in val d'isare. he overcame the tricky conditions to win the slalom. it's his 47th world cup slalom victory. and ronnie 0'sullivan has won the uk snooker championship, beating shaun murphy in the final. he made three centuries during the match. 10—5 the score, in what was a dominant performance from the man known as the rocket. the win equals the record of six

them 16 points clear at the top but would also see manager pep guardiola equal his own record with bayernope's top division. always here you talk about the numbers, breakers, records. that is a consequence of what we do on the pitch. i am not here to comment about the record because it is simple to say that we break it or not. but that is not what counts. what counts is what you have to do against crystal palace, what you have to do against the amazing four strikers they have. england's cricketers have arrived in sydney ahead of the fifth and final ashes test which begins in four days' time. england wicketkeeper jonny bairstow has given his backing to all—rounder moeen ali, saying he remains in their best 11. moeen has only taken three wickets and averaged 19 runs with the bat this series. i think that is unquestionable, to even think that he is not in that best 11. he would not have played the first four test matches if he was not in that first 11. there are not many finger spinners that will come to australia and bowl teams out. it is very important that you get behind moeen, he can tak

other european heavyweight likes juventus and bayern munich will also be sweating on potentially hazardous at thejoburg open on monday. he's 22 under par, seven holes into his final round. play on sunday was called off with thunderstorms and heavy rain hitting south africa. sharma is four shots clear of his nearest rival. now — is the english premier league title race over? jose mourinho thinks it is after his manchester united side fell 11 points behind manchester city in december! united lost 2—1 in the manchester derby at old trafford as the top two met for the first time this season. so — we asked city's boss pep guardiola, if the trophy was signed, sealed and delivered already. impossible. of course you have 11 points. you are so happy. is just in december. we have a lot of things. it is important for our confidence, of course. probably yes, but, you know, i think every one of us, chelsea, tottenham, liverpool, arsenal, of us with the ambition that probably you feel it a bit damaged because of the distance to manchester city, but i think everyone is going to fight for the points every

kick—off would be their 19th in a row, equalling the record in europe's top five leagues, set by bayernle run — he's not concerned if it came to an end. finally, manchester city loses one game. that will be big news. big news is to win again. that is what i'm thinking in the future. i insist many times, i say here as well, that is real. that is not normal and you are going to get points and that is where i want to see my team. all this week on bbc world, we've been hearing from the great and the good of world athletics as part of our making a champion series. kristian warholm had a 2017 to remember. the world a00m hurdles champion from norway talks about how his celebration after winning in london resembled a norwegian tourist in magaluf! and he says he's looking for different challenges in his athletics career as he moves forwards. i think confidence is important, no matter what you do, actually. and of course winning in both 0slo and stockholm gave me some confidence andi stockholm gave me some confidence and i felt like i stockholm gave me some confidence and ifelt like i was one sto

record, with the european record of 19, incidentally also held by guardiola when he was in charge of bayern just one point outside the relegation zone and with just one win in ten games, he's approached this match as seriously as any other. we wina we win a lot of games. that is why we are happy. 0ur lives are better when we win. it is simple, like that. but i'm not going to sleep thinking about it, that i am going to break record. it is nothing special. it is newcastle. —— going to break a record. i couldn't see them. now, christmas time, i to break a record. i couldn't see them. now, christmas time, lam going to sit down with my staff's laptops and i will try to discover what they do. and keep our... keep out pace what they do. and keep our... keep our pace and intensity with the ball, that is our target. bath have been fined £60,000 for releasing taulupe faletau to play for wales in their autumn international against south africa. the match fell outside the official international window allowed by premiership rugby. bath say they understand the position but they're pushing for a resoluti

i don't think you can really face bayern munich and paris st germain very often in the last 16 if youroup. and all the others. so thatis the group. and all the others. so that is quite interesting. after defeats in the first two ashes test and criticism over a lack of fighting spirit, england —— what england wouldn't give to see ben stokes out in the field with them. that is unlikely, but he has been named in the one—day series in the new year. and the swiss has more from adelaide. england now know they have a mountain to climb if they are to retain the ashes. they have a two—day warm up game in perth this weekend before the third test gets underway next week, and they know that if australia win that test, they will regain the ashes, and just to make it even more daunting, england have not won in perth since 1978. one man who is not here with england is ben stokes, currently playing domestic cricket in new zealand. we have had the news that ben stokes has been named in england's's one—day squad for their series here injanuary. he is waiting to find out at the moment whether he will be
