January 2025 Football News – What Happened on the Pitch?
Welcome to the January 2025 archive for Chicken Shack News. This month’s football roundup is short but packed. We’ve got a Bundesliga drama, a Premier League thriller, and a big transfer rumor that could change the Serie A landscape. If you follow European football, these three stories are worth a quick look. Below you’ll find the key moments, the players who made the difference, and why each match mattered for the clubs involved.
Bundesliga: Dortmund Ends Losing Streak but Drops Lead
Borussia Dortmund finally stopped a four‑match losing run when they faced Werder Bremen. The game started with Dortmund’s Serhou Guirassy finding the net, giving the home side an early edge. Werder equalised when Marco Friedl scored an own‑goal, but the match stayed tight. Then Werder turned the tables, with Leonardo Bittencourt and Marvin Ducksch each scoring to level the score. The draw meant Dortmund stopped the skid, but they also lost the lead in the table. Coach Mike Tullberg, still interim, will be looking to tighten the defence after the red card and injury that hurt them during the game.
Premier League: Nottingham Forest Beats Southampton 3‑2
Over in England, Nottingham Forest pulled off a 3‑2 win against Southampton that kept their Champions League hopes alive. Forest’s first‑half burst was the difference – goals from Andy Anderson, Callum Hudson‑Odoi and Ryan Wood put them two ahead. Southampton fought back in the second half, scoring twice, but Forest held on thanks to solid defending and a late goal from their striker. The victory lifted Forest level with Arsenal and showed they can handle pressure when a big game is on the line.
Transfer Talk: Juventus Eyes Barcelona Defender Ronald Araujo
Off the pitch, Juventus made headlines by publicly expressing interest in Barcelona centre‑back Ronald Araujo. Sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli said the Italian club is ready to make a move, and Araujo’s agent confirmed Juventus have been in talks. Araujo, known for his strength and aerial ability, could strengthen Juventus’ back line, especially as Barcelona struggles to keep him amid contract talks. If the deal goes through, it would be a big statement for Juventus and could shift the balance of power in Serie A.
