'It's a cold night in Russia tonight as home side Zenit Burger King face a 'whopper of a challenge' against Lokomotiv Moscow in the Russian Premier League'

Did you notice anything strange about the sentence you've just read?

Zenit St Petersburg have actually received a million pound offer from fast food giants Burger King to change their name to Zenit Burger King. No, this isn't a joke. You're actually reading this.

According to Russian journalists on Twitter, Zenit received a €6.8 million offer from Burger King to change the name of their club.

MADNESS.

So that means we could potentially have a Red Bull Salzburg vs Zenit Burger King in European competition at some point in the future.

If any headline had to sum up 2016, it's this one.
