====Football==== [[Leicester City F.C.|Leicester City]] won a notable [[Premier League]] title in Club Football in [[2015–16 Premier League|2015–16]], with 5000/1 odds at the start of the season. Managers like [[José Mourinho]], [[Pep Guardiola]], [[Carlo Ancelotti]], [[Jürgen Klopp]], [[Mauricio Pochettino]], [[Didier Deschamps]], [[Antonio Conte]], and [[Luis Enrique]] were influential during this era of football. In International Football, there were three [[FIFA World Cup|World Cups]], with European sides winning all three, [[Spain national football team|Spain]] in [[2010 FIFA World Cup|2010]], [[Germany national football team|Germany]] in [[2014 FIFA World Cup|2014]], and [[France national football team|France]] in [[2018 FIFA World Cup|2018]]. Of the finalists, only one was not European, [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]] in 2014. The other finalists were [[Croatia national football team|Croatia]] in 2018 and the [[Netherlands national football team|Netherlands]] in 2010. [[2010 FIFA World Cup|South Africa]] hosted the first World Cup of the decade, followed by [[2014 FIFA World Cup|Brazil]] and then controversially, [[2018 FIFA World Cup|Russia]] in 2018. The [[UEFA European Championship|Euros]] were the next biggest footballing tournaments of the decade, with Spain winning the 2012 edition held in Poland and Ukraine, retaining there title from [[UEFA Euro 2008|2008]]. Iberian dominance persisted in 2016 with [[Portugal national football team|Portugal]] winning their first Major Tournament against France in France. In the [[Copa América|Copa America]], [[Uruguay national football team|Uruguay]] (2011), [[Chile national football team|Chile]] (2015, 2016) and [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] (2019) registered tournament wins. In terms of the [[Africa Cup of Nations]], the winners were [[Egypt national football team|Egypt]] in 2010, [[Zambia national football team|Zambia]] in 2012, [[Nigeria national football team|Nigeria]] in 2013, [[Ivory Coast national football team|Ivory Coast]] in 2015, [[Cameroon national football team|Cameroon]] in 2017, and [[Algeria national football team|Algeria]] in 2019. Individual accolades were dominated by two players in particular, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. This inspired renewed focus on who the "[[wikt:GOAT|goat]]" was, especially in an increasingly online population, with both players winning [[Ballon d'Or]]s: Messi with 5, and Ronaldo with 4. The only other player to win a Ballon d'Or this decade was [[Luka Modrić]]. The dominance of Ronaldo and Messi was a key feature of the decade, especially because the two players played in the same League for the majority of the decade, with Ronaldo at Real Madrid, and Messi at Barcelona. The two often met in the famous [[El Clásico]] fixture.
