Winner: Robert Lewandowski 

Wearing a Barcelona jersey, Lewandowski waited 42 long days to score again. However, against Celta Vigo, he ended that rare dry spell in spectacular fashion.

He scored three times against the Galician side, helping Barcelona secure a 4-2 victory as the Catalans climbed back to second place, just three points behind Real Madrid.

The Polish striker demonstrated that even at 37, his finishing skills remain diverse. His first goal was a penalty, the second a powerful right-footed strike following a cross from Marcus Rashford on the left flank.

Later in the second half, he combined again with the English international, meeting Rashford’s corner at the near post to head home and secure the 4-2 result.

Losers: Wolves

When Czech defender Ladislav Krejci transferred from Girona to Wolverhampton during the summer window, he likely anticipated a stronger start. Now in November, he is still awaiting his first league victory with the Black Country club.

Moreover, Wolves are currently suffering a five-match losing streak, including four consecutive Premier League defeats and one in the League Cup. Neither Krejci nor his defensive teammates can be happy with the number of goals conceded.

Over the weekend,Wolves suffered a 3-0 defeat to Chelsea, marking the fourth straight game where they have conceded more than three goals. After 11 matches and 25 goals allowed, they hold the worst defensive record in the English top division.

Winner: Lionel Messi

The Argentine superstar once again showed he thrives in crucial moments over the weekend.

His Inter Miami faced elimination in the first round of the MLS Cup playoffs, but in the decisive match against Nashville, Messi excelled with two goals and two assists, almost single-handedly propelling Inter into the quarterfinals.

Inter Miami won the third game of the series 4-0; in the Conference semi-finals, they will meet FC Cincinnati.

Messi advances to the next stage in excellent form. He has scored or assisted in 10 of his last 11 games, accumulating an impressive 15 goals and 12 assists during this period.Since mid-September, Flashscore has awarded him a perfect rating of 10 on three occasions.

Winners: Atletico Ottawa

The Canadian Premier League final provided an incredible spectacle, with not only the players but also the weather stealing the spotlight.

On Sunday in the nation’s capital, it was hard to spot any green grass as the season’s showcase match between Ottawa and Cavalry was played amid a blizzard, with players battling through five centimeters of snow on the field.

Despite the harsh conditions, both teams refused to quit. The dedicated fans were rewarded with three goals, notably the equalizer from Ottawa’s David Rodriguez.

The American midfielder struck a bouncing ball inside the box, leveling the score at 1-1 with a spectacular overhead kick (a 'scissor' or 'bicycle' or something in between) in the snow! His second goal ultimately helped Ottawa win 2-1 in extra time, clinching a historic title.

Losers:Heidenheim

Last season, Heidenheim participated in European football for the first time in the club’s history, but their start to this campaign has been far from successful.

In the first 10 Bundesliga rounds, they have earned only five points, and after a 6-0 defeat at Leverkusen on Saturday, they remain at the bottom of the league table.

Heidenheim conceded five goals just in the first half. Additionally,Leverkusen scored four times within the opening 30 minutes, with Czech international Patrik Schick netting twice.

Losers: Minnesota & Seattle

The crucial MLS Cup showdown between Minnesota and Seattle was full of excitement. Seattle, the away team, led 2-0 within eight minutes, but the home side rallied and seemed poised to advance.

However, two minutes before the end, Seattle’s Jordan Morris equalized, forcing the game into a penalty shootout.

Those expecting the shootout to continue the goal frenzy were disappointed. The penalty takers struggled — after 10 rounds, seven penalties were either missed or saved by the goalkeepers!

The tension peaked in the final round when Seattle’s Andrew Thomas, who had been subbed on in the 89th minute solely for the shootout, missed his penalty, sending Minnesota through to the Western Conference semi-finals.
