Trending: Holiday Special Feat. Chapocoense & Neymar

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate… and welcome back to a very special festive edition of Trending, our compendium of the most-shared videos online from the last seven days.

We say “festive” but honestly it’s just more weird soccer-y videos, but let’s not split hairs - it’s the holiday season…

Chapecoense Charity Match

This. Is. Brilliant.

Chapecoense goalkeeper Jakson Follmann lost a limb in the tragic plane crash which rocked the world of soccer last year, but he was back on the field in a charity match over Christmas.

Follmann was right in the thick of the action too, scoring a penalty thanks to an assist from fellow survivor Alan Ruschel, before, he went down clutching his prosthetic leg, feigning injury.
