Ex-Brazil boss Luiz Felipe Scolari leads Palmeiras to Brazilian title
Palmeiras won the Brazilian championship with a match to spare when they won 1-0 at Vasco da Gama on Sunday, bringing their coach Luiz Felipe Scolari another major title at the age of 70.
Scolari, Brazil coach when they won their fifth World Cup in 2002 and also in charge of the side humiliated 7-1 at home by Germany on home soil in 2014, took over in July with Palmeiras lying seventh, eight points behind the leaders.
Under the leadership of the man who also took Portugal to the European Championship final in 2004 during his long, distinguished career, Palmeiras won 16 of their next 22 league matches and drew six, conceding just nine goals.
Deyverson scored the winner in the 71st minute of Sunday's match at Sao Januario after he turned in Willian's pass from close range, leaving Palmeiras on 77 points, five clear of Flamengo, who won 2-0 at Cruzeiro.
Ole Gunner Solskjær has been appointed as Manchester United’s caretaker manager, replacing José Mourinho until the end of the season.
The former United striker will be assisted by Mike Phelan, another of the club’s former players, who previously spent 14 years on the club’s coaching staff, including five as the No 2.
Messi scored his 400th La Liga goal in Barcelona's 3-0 win over Eibar
The 31-year-old is the second player to score 400 goals across Europe's top five leagues, following Cristiano Ronaldo whose 409 league goals in 507 games have been scored in England, Spain and Italy.
The goal against Eibar means Messi has reached 400 goals 63 games quicker than Ronaldo reached the same milestone.
It also extends his lead as La Liga's all-time leading record scorer with Juventus' Ronaldo second having scored 311 goals in 292 games at Real Madrid and Telmo Zarra, who scored 251 La Liga goals third.
More Messi stats
Messi has scored more league goals than 29 La Liga teams have scored in their history
Messi has scored against 37 different teams in La Liga, the most by a player in the competition history
Sevilla is the club Messi has scored against the most with 25 goals in 24 games against them
