CAN final, CAN final... and yet another CAN final: the 10 images that made a buzz in the football world this weekend are here!

The Towel War ⚔️

One of the WTF images from this historic final, won 1-0 after extra time by Senegal: the improbable towel chase between Yehvann Diouf, Senegal's substitute goalkeeper, and some Moroccan stewards and ball boys.

A quick Snap during the chaos 😭

While the Senegalese players returned to the locker room after the referee awarded a penalty to Morocco in the last minute of regular time, Ibrahim Mbaye, the 17-year-old Senegalese forward from PSG, took the opportunity to... send snaps to his friends.

The choke of the century?

The van Persie madness 🤯

The other highlight of the weekend was the monumental entry of Shaqueel van Persie, Feyenoord's forward, son of his coach... Robin.

The 19-year-old "son of" came on and scored a double in two minutes: a backheel and a bicycle kick. Enough to bring tears to his father's eyes on the bench...

A number 10's goal, a Ballon d'Or wonder.
