KEEPING UP WITH REAL MADRID

The major European football leagues have a big following in China, and there was a moment in the China Open snooker final when all of the Chinese media suddenly started taking pictures of the screens showing the score between Mark Selby and Gary Wilson.

Enquiries revealed this baffling activity was in fact because the score in the snooker at that time (9-1 to Selby) was the same as the score in the Real Madrid La Liga match (9-1 against Granada). At least that wasn’t quite the end of the scoring for Wilson.
