We know the poster for the most watched match of the year around the world.
The Super Bowl, the final of the American football championship, will pit the Kansas City Chiefs against the San Francisco 49ers, in two weeks in Las Vegas.
It will be a remake of the 2019 final, won 31-20 by the Chiefs then led to the title for the first time by magical quarterback Patrick Mohames.
The highest paid player in the NFL will of course be there in two weeks, but this time he will have a much less known quarterback facing him and a beginner at this level, Brock Purdy.
Which did not prevent Purdy from being a centerpiece of San Francisco's fantastic comeback Sunday evening in the conference final (34-31).
Led by 17 points by the Detroit Lions, the Niners delighted their audience in the second half to catch up and take the lead in the last quarter.
For their part, the defending champions Kansas City earned the right to defend their title by defeating the Baltimore Ravens.
It’s been an eventful year, we were considered underdogs for the last few games but for our part we never feel like outsiders,” reacted Mahomes, the star quarterback of the Chiefs, responsible for a touchdown and 241 yards gained, without being intercepted.
“We have a lot of guys on this team that know how to win in the playoffs.
I knew we were going to do it, and here we are at the Super Bowl”, for the fourth time in five years (two successes in 2020 and 2023).
Travis Kelce and his 11 receptions, including a spectacular and decisive one at the end of the game, also contributed to the victory for the Chiefs.
The “tight end” was hugged for a long time on the pitch by his girlfriend, pop star Taylor Swift, after the match.
Good for you Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.
You gotta be a real hater to see this level of happiness and be like, “Yea I don’t like it.”

NFL reporter Ian Rapoport announced that Taylor Swift is expected to be in Las Vegas, despite the four dates in Tokyo on February 7, 8, 9 and 10 of her very popular "Eras tour".
Thanks to an intractable defense, the Chiefs managed to muzzle Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson on Sunday, tipped to be named MVP of the regular season, whom his team had dominated.
