The fifth round of the Champions League is in the bag, just three rounds remaining before we discover who is through to the last 16, who is going to endure a nervy playoff battle and whose European season is over. This week brought thrilling results: Manchester City blowing a three-goal lead against Feyenoord , Bayer Leverkusen and Arsenal running up the goals in impressive fashion and missed penalties by superstars at both ends in Liverpool's win over Real Madrid. Here's our pick of the best players, lining up with a back three to celebrate the impressive results from Leverkusen and Inter: Not exactly a vintage week for the men between the sticks, was it? Thibaut Courtois was among the few Real Madrid players who could leave Anfield with his head held high but he might feel he could have done better for Liverpool's opener. Given that no one was both faultless and busy, we're going to have to go for a compromise candidate. An exceptional 87 minutes from Riznyk weren't undone just because his cleansheet and then Shakhtar's points were snatched away by Malik Tillman (more on whom later) and Ricardo Pepi. I mean, what do you even want him to do about those goals, which followed 10 saves, the best of which were quite excellent? Even that first goal he conceded was millimeters from an outstanding save, Riznyk hurling himself low to his left to meet Tillman's impudent low free kick. The second? There could have been two goalkeepers between the sticks and they weren't getting close. The third seemed specifically designed to ruin Rizynk's night, a PSV leg doing just enough to divert the ball in totally the opposite direction, leaving Pepi with a tap in. Sometimes goalkeepers do their bit and still end up having a bad night. In such circumstances, it's worth highlighting what they did right. Yes, we're immediately playing fast and loose with the formation. Look, there are a load of strikers and attacking midfielders I've got try to get in. Conor, you're just going to have to work it out. Given how successfully you took to dealing with the best forward on the planet (if we can still call Kylian Mbappe that), I'm pretty confident this won't be beyond you. After all, what a reducer that was in the second half. MAC ALLISTER FINISHES A LOVELY MOVE FROM LIVERPOOL TO HIT REAL MADRID EARLY IN THE SECOND HALF ⚡ pic.twitter.com/7iYRlrN9Vg And the assist. The assist! Weighted with precision, one pass took two players out of the game while ensuring that Alexis Mac Allister could take the ball in stride and squirm a shot away before Raul Asensio got across to cover. There are few better compliments you can offer in this context than to say it was an assist Trent Alexander-Arnold would have been proud of. Well, you have to have someone from Inter in your backline. The Italian giants look like they have that most vital component of Champions League contenders, an elite-level defense. A record of five cleansheets from as many games would be remarkable whoever the opponents were but the 2023 finalists have already held out against Manchester City, Arsenal and an RB Leipzig side who desperately needed anything to save their European season. Inter held them utterly at arm's length, just seven shots worth a combined 0.15 xG. Such defensive excellence is the sort of collective effort that rarely fits comfortably into a pick your best players format. So, sorry Alessandro Bastoni and Hakan Calhanoglu, but it's De Vrij for me -- his clearances and interceptions snuffing out what pressure RB Leipzig were able to apply on the Inter goal. A week where so many teams conceded three-plus goals doesn't make it easy to pick out the best defenders. Either your team were so dominant that you didn't have to do a lot of defending or, well, you conceded half a dozen goals. Then again, if anyone can be forgiven for conceding a few goals it's the Feyenoord defense, in which Hancko and his teammates got a clearing boot on a fair few of the many crosses and cutbacks that Manchester City hurled into their area. Following up 88 of the most demanding minutes you can ask of a defender with a lung-busting run into the penalty area to flick home the equalizer was all the more impressive. FEYENOORD COME BACK FROM 3-0 DOWN TO STUN MANCHESTER CITY 😱 pic.twitter.com/HWB2NGMOjN Arguably the best individual performer across this week, Llorente's dominance from right back ensured that Atletico Madrid were able to run up an almighty score in Prague, something that could count for a great deal when the final places in the top eight are handed out. Most immediately apparent were the two assists, Llorente busting a gut to be in place to one-two with Julian Alvarez before slipping the ball to Angel Correa towards the death, giving the Argentine plenty of work to do it must be said. Atletico were dominant enough that they didn't need Llorente to excel defensively but he did that too with four tackles won from four, six of seven successful duels and eight ball recoveries. Not too shabby at all for a player making his first start since late September. Pick your favorite: the audacious free kick that just had enough to kickstart the comeback or the absolute howitzer that seemed to swing one way and then the other to draw PSV level in the most thrilling game of a barnburner of a match week? For pure vision, this author's preference is for the opener, not least because a bit of guile was absolutely going to be required to defeat a goalkeeper as obdurate as Shakhtar's. Even those who thought Crvena zvezda were a fair wedge better than their record didn't see that coming! Then again, you look at their side and it's hard to see why they shouldn't be able to at least give it a go against a side like Stuttgart. On an evening where everyone in red excelled, it was hard to pick a star man but UEFA's technical panel opted for former Milan man Rade Krunic. "He made a significant impact, showcasing a clinical left-foot finish to give his side the lead, plus creating the fourth goal with a decisive line-breaking pass on the counterattack," they said. Who are we to argue? Look, we could really just hive off a spot in this XI for the remainder of this season and put Florian Wirtz's name on it. The figurehead of Bayer Leverkusen was his customarily excellent self in the 5-0 drubbing of Salzburg. You could, however, say the same about Grimaldo, as joyous a watch as there has been in European football over the last 15 or so months. Let him drift off his flank for even an instant and he is going to take a shot. By the final whistle at the BayArena, he'd taken seven of them, the pick of them a delicately lofted free-kick that Alexander Schlager swiftly concluded wasn't even worth diving for. Alejandro Grimaldo with a BEAUTY of a freekick 🤩 pic.twitter.com/5USnytTjVN With half an hour played, Grimaldo had added an assist too, a smart pass inside to Wirtz that speaks to the connection these two have on the Leverkusen left. The latter is often the one who gets the most glowing praise from their collective efforts. There's no harm shining the light on Grimaldo for once. If Arsenal didn't have Odegaard, could they have really hoped to eviscerate a much-heralded Sporting opponent in anything like the manner they just did? Whether or not the Norwegian is his side's very best player is the sort of fruitless debate Gooners can savor but after his last two games, Odegaard has the best case to be this team's ceiling raiser. "He is an unbelievable player and the day he returned, there was a big smile on my face," Bukayo Saka said of his captain. A "top three" midfielder in Europe, according to William Saliba. They know how good Odegaard is. Sporting just found out in the cruelest of fashions. There are worse times to deliver your first senior goal than a Champions League tie where your side can all but guarantee a spot in the knockout playoffs (at least). Not bad timing for the second goal either. Both spoke to qualities it tends to take much more than 20 years to develop, lurking in the right spots for a cutback while being prepared to gamble that mistakes and rebounds would fall his way. What is it about Gian Piero Gasperini and strikers? The likes of Duvan Zapata, Luis Muriel and Ademola Lookman have hardly looked like superstars before arriving at Atalanta, nor did Retegui when he departed Genoa with nine goals to his name in all competitions last season. Already this term he has 14 in 19 games, two of which came as Young Boys were brushed aside at the Wankdorf Stadium. Retegui's first goal was that of an outstanding center forward, timing his run perfectly to break the Young Boys offside trap and whipping a ferocious finish across goal, the ball bending elegantly into the side-netting. The second was no less impressive, a great first touch off Charles De Ketelaere before the 25-year-old took a breath and rolled it home. This is the output of a high-grade striker. Was Retegui that before Gasperini got his hands on him?None

(AP) — President-elect Donald Trump said Wednesday that he has chosen Keith Kellogg, a highly decorated retired three-star general, to serve as his special envoy for Ukraine and Russia. Kellogg, who is one of the architects of a staunchly conservative policy book that lays out an “America First” national security agenda for the incoming administration, will come into the role as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine enters its third year in February. Trump made the announcement on his Truth Social account, and said “He was with me right from the beginning! Together, we will secure PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH, and Make America, and the World, SAFE AGAIN!” Kellogg, an 80 year-old retired Army lieutenant general who has long been Trump’s top adviser on defense issues, served as national security adviser to Vice President Mike Pence , was chief of staff of the National Security Council and then stepped in as an acting security adviser for Trump after Michael Flynn resigned. As special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, Kellogg will have to navigate an increasingly untenable war between the two nations. The Biden administration has begun urging Ukraine to quickly increase the size of its military by drafting more troops and revamping its mobilization laws to allow for the conscription of troops as young as 18. The White House has pushed more than $56 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since the start of Russia’s February 2022 invasion and expects to send billions more to Kyiv before Biden leaves office in less than months. Trump has criticized the billions that the Biden administration has poured into Ukraine. Washington has recently stepped up weapons shipments and has forgiven billions in loans provided to Kyiv. The incoming Republican president has said he could end the war in 24 hours, comments that appear to suggest he would press Ukraine to surrender territory that Russia now occupies. As a co-chairman of the American First Policy Institute’s Center for American Security, Kellogg wrote several of the chapters in the group’s policy book. The book, like the Heritage Foundation’s “Project 2025,” is a move to lay out a Trump national security agenda and avoid the mistakes of 2016 when he entered the White House largely unprepared. Kellogg in April wrote that “bringing the Russia-Ukraine war to a close will require strong, America First leadership to deliver a peace deal and immediately end the hostilities between the two warring parties.” Trump's proposed national security advisor U.S. Rep. Michael Waltz (R-Fla.) tweeted Wednesday that “Keith has dedicated his life to defending our great country and is committed to bringing the war in Ukraine to a peaceful resolution.” Kellogg was a character in multiple Trump investigations dating to his first term. He was among the administration officials who listened in on the July 2019 call between Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy in which Trump prodded his Ukrainian counterpart to pursue investigations into the Bidens. The call, which Kellogg would later say did not raise any concerns on his end, was at the center of the first of two House impeachment cases against Trump, who was acquitted by the Senate both times. On Jan. 6, 2021, hours before pro-Trump rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol, Kellogg, who was then Pence’s national security adviser, listened in on a heated call in which Trump told his vice president to object or delay the certification in Congress of President Joe Biden ’s victory. He later told House investigators that he recalled Trump saying to Pence words to the effect of: “You’re not tough enough to make the call.” Baldor reported from Washington.

When you’re a Russian retiree living on a limited income, it’s bad enough trying to contend with skyrocketing prices for staples like eggs, potatoes, or butter. Now add to the list of worries: a swooning ruble hitting lows not seen in years. “I see these prices, my eyes get wide,” said one retired history teacher who lives in St. Petersburg and tries to get by on a 19,100-ruble ($187) monthly pension. “What's going on? Prices are rising for absolutely everything.” “Polite words fail me, of course” the 72-year-old woman told RFE/RL’s Russian Service. She asked for her name not to be used to avoid police harassment. “I have to joke about it to cool down my anger,” she added. Nearly three years into the Kremlin’s all-out invasion of Ukraine, Russia’s economy has defied expectations and the experts who predicted that it would be crippled by sweeping Western sanctions imposed in response to Moscow’ military aggression. Fueled by the flood of government spending that’s prioritizing the war above all else, is expected to clock in at 3.6 percent growth this year, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). But the torrid pace of spending is overheating the economy. Grappling with inflation hovering above 8 percent, the Central Bank has already hiked rates and could raise them even further in the coming weeks. That in turn has pushed up residential mortgages, not to mention business loans, prompting vocal complaints from business leaders. Now comes another symptom of an increasingly unhealthy economy: the plunging Russian currency, hitting levels not seen since March 2022, weeks after Moscow launched its invasion of Ukraine. As of December 5, the ruble stood at 103 to the U.S. dollar. That’s down from 85 in September, but up from its lowest recent level -- 113 -- which it hit in the final days of November. The main -- though not only -- reason for the drop? A new set of sanctions that the United States announced on November 21, targeting dozens of Russian banks, including the largest bank to avoid sanctioning to date. The state-owned Gazprombank had dodged that bullet mainly due to its role as a conduit for transactions related to oil and gas exports. Washington had previously feared that sanctioning it would disrupt global oil markets and send oil prices skyrocketing. Russians -- individuals, banks, and businesses -- were rushing to make transactions ahead of December 20, when the restrictions take effect, Sergei Aleksashenko, a former top official in the Central Bank, said, and that has flooded the market with rubles. “It seems to me that the sharp jump in the ruble (or dollar) is explained by the fact that the rules of the game will be changed, and no one knows what the new rules will be,” . Officials, including President Vladimir Putin, have tried to calm jittery nerves for both average consumers and business leaders. “As often happens in such situations, there is currently an excessive emotional component on the currency market,” Economic Development Minister Maksim Reshetnikov on November 27. “Experience shows that, after a period of increased volatility, the rate always stabilizes.” The economic crosswinds are causing headaches for policymakers, both big and small. Regular Russians -- particularly those in poorer regions far from urban centers like St. Petersburg -- have benefited from the torrent of cash in government spending. Dizzyingly high wages paid to men who volunteer to fight in Ukraine -- not to mention the bonuses and benefits paid to war widows – have spurred consumers to spend -- or even splurge. High war wages, however, have forced civilian factories, particularly military industrial enterprises, to hike wages to compete, and fill vacancies. Putin himself has publicly lamented that labor shortages have been a problem. Elevated salaries have , driving up the cost of everyday goods, including butter, potatoes, and eggs. Several regions have reported a rash of thefts of butter and other dairy products, as prices climb. Some retailers have taken to putting dairy products under lock-and-key to prevent theft. Rates on residential , in conjunction with the Central Bank’s interest hikes, which has in turn choked off home and apartment sales in a growing number of regions. The ruble’s drop, meanwhile, will make imported goods more expensive -- at a time when Russian consumers are ramping up spending for the long New Year’s and Christmas holidays. It’s also pinching migrant workers, many of whom hail from Central Asia and send much of their Russian wages back home to support families. The current drop means less money to send. “If you have to live in Russia, then it makes no difference,” one Uzbek man who works as a taxi driver told RFE/RL. “But if you have to work here and send money back to Kyrgyzstan or Uzbekistan, then there’s no point in working here. Better just to go home.” Few experts are predicting outright economic collapse anytime soon. More likely the flashing warning lights are pointing to a cooling off, which is what the Central Bank director Elvira Nabiullina has said is the goal of the recent rate hikes. The IMF predicts that the economy will slow to around 1.3 percent growth next year. “Economic growth has to slow down,” Laura Solanko, an expert on the Russian economy at the Bank of Finland’s Institute for Economies in Transition, told RFE/RL. “But cooling growth is no sign of economic collapse. Russia can sustain broadly [the] current level of household consumption and of warfare with broadly [the] current level of economic activity.” “It’s becoming [all too clear] that there are no good remedies for the Russian economy’s malaise apart from ending the war; the mother of Russia’s problems,” Alexander Kolyandr, a researcher with the Center for European Policy Analysis, last month.
