I call 2021 the year of unusualness in football and sports in general. Emma Raducanu rewrote Tennis history; Euro 2020 was played in 2021; Messi won his 7th Balon d'Or. Christian Eriksen's health scare that united the whole football world; Max Verstappen's last lap overtake and maiden F1 title win; Steph Curry breaking Basketball's all time three points record; Tyson Fury shutting Deontay Wilder up for good; Messi leaving Barcelona for good and teaming up with Ramos at PSG; Ronaldo returning to Man U. The list is exhaustive. 2021 is a year that won't be forgotten in the sporting space for a while. Here is to a wonderful 2022. See you there.
