The best side of life in the most bitter defeat

Looking at my old drafts I met again with an eraser that once I was in the pipeline. The story that the video that heads this post is imperishable, so I post it appeared appropriate for anyone who has not had the fortune to meet. In addition, having talked yesterday of the worst football face, what better way to make up for that with this beautiful love story.

In the bitter moments of life, human beings tend to bring out the best and worst of himself. This story starring a father and daughter. He, Rogier Meijer, Dutch midfielder De Graafschap, succumbs to despair of defeat: his team has just descended to the Eerste Divisie (second division).

Without fear and so far, no signings

"I have not talked valuing January. We talked about what we have, not what we have. I just think about my wardrobe. I joined the ship and want to get a happy ending. It should be well fajarse pants and not be afraid of anything, "he commented.

Javier Aguirre to play down the situation

Espanyol has chosen-and presented-to substitute Mauricio Pochettino. This is Javier Aguirre, an old acquaintance in our championship with a mission to make a team rowing unable to get to see the shore. The Basque returns to the bench for the League almost a year after suffering the same fate as his predecessor whitish, when he was dismissed at Real Zaragoza after a poor start to the season. There was no eating grapes, something it hopes to achieve in Cornella-El Prat, where one of his main challenges will be to dramatize a situation that has more to do with institutional than sports.

Espanyol is the bottom side of the table, yes. But just two points from safety. Or what is the same, to a victory. Surely the harvest of the three points in a row, something only achieved twice Pochettino , relaunch demonstrates a team that can have many drawbacks, but one of them is not incompetence. Not that there team to be in Europe, not to fight for the Champions League, but to stay with some relief in the quiet area of the table. Aguirre, who was cast in Zaragoza, also had made months before salvation skill, goal for which he was hired and who remembers the reason for his arrival in Barcelona.

Messi rests Cup

Leo Messi would play up the friendly neighborhood of Rosario (Argentina) because Leo wants to win everything with Barca , but the Argentine star rest in the Copa del Rey by Tito Vilanova decision despite being on the run to break the record of German Gerd Muller as a player more goals have been scored in one calendar year.

It has not asked to play

The height will Barcelona

"I hope we take the competition seriously required, first because we are the champions. We have given rest to people with more minutes, but all the players who are on the staff are trained to play.

With all alternates

Among the figures are not resting players like Cesc Fabregas, Carles Puyol, Pedro Rodriguez, Alex Song and Javier Mascherano, but also of Leo Messi, Barca are several cracks that will not play against Alavés: Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta, Victor Valdes, Sergio Busquets, Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba out of the squad.

Punishment to Shakhtar Donetsk for lack of fair play

UEFA studying a penalty and sanction has been . The unsportsmanlike conduct of Shaktar Donetsk that shocked the football world in particular and the world of sports in general has been punished, although, for some, in a small way. As reported by the UEFA, the Control and Disciplinary Committee of UEFA has decided to punish dela striker Luiz Adriano of Shakhtar Donetsk with a party for its lack of 'fairl play' in the game against Nordsjælland in the last match of the group stage of the Champions League.

Services to the football community

This penalty shall apply to the party of the group stage of the UEFA Champions League between FC Shakhtar Donetsk and Juventus in Ukraine. Shakhtar's player will also have to make a day of service to the soccer community.

Luiz Adriano had been accused of violation of the principles of conduct (Article 5 of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations) during last week's match in Group E of the UEFA Champions League against FC Copenhagen Nordsjælland.

Lucescu, excuses bad payer

"I want to apologize for the goal that got and that has given so much to talk about. I saw how it all started because I was looking at the bench. When I turned around and saw Adriano with the ball, "said Mircea Lucescu, Shakhtar coach, to justify the action. He also said, "Adriano said, 'I saw the ball on my foot and I could the killer instinct.'"

Although Shakhtar plays great, not only Ukraine oil can cause alarm .

Whistles against Mourinho at the Bernabeu

Real Madrid will be in the next round of the Copa del Rey after his easy win against Alcoyano (3-0) at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium and a team full of deputies and reserve team players. After the victory in the first leg (1-4), the party's interest lay in the public reaction to the Real Madrid coach, Jose Mourinho, criticized for poor progress in League team. There are high voltage Mourinho in Madrid .

Whistles and applause

According to Marca, during the final stretch of the game against Alcoyano, were heard chanting continued for Jose Mourinho and a whistle. Karanka does not care and wanted to make clear that no work dude who does all the coaching staff.

"On the bench will hear many things. People who come to the stadium has the right to express what they see at the time. What we have to do is work for Real Madrid and do our thing. There will be people you like and people you do not but no one can doubt our professionalism. As the mister to say what they want unless they take everything for Real Madrid, "he told a news conference.

No Mou

In fact, Karanka appeared before the media given the fright of Mourinho, who is said to prepare his departure to England in June 2013. Earlier, in any case, will the holidays in Portugal, where you can enjoy the famous Cod Christmas .

Guardiola will not train to Brazil

Another bubble punctured. After the campaign organized or spontaneous for former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola, coach outside Brazil, the reality, as always, has been stubborn. The Brazilian Football Federation has dismissed outright the possibility that the Catalan sit on the bench of the canarinha.

So Most Valuable Coach of the moment, the man who revolutionized football with his majestic Barca will enjoy discreet life in New York . The reason is simple: "Hardly the new coach will be abroad. I have the greatest respect for Guardiola, but Brazil won five World Brazilian technicians, "said President of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), Jose Maria Marin, at the opening of the fair football 'Soccerex'.

Brazil coach still looking

The winner of the World Cup, Luiz Felipe Scolari, is one of the favorites to coach Brazil, although there are other established names in Brazilian football as Muricy Ramalho, Vanderlei Luxembourg or Abel Braga could also have their options.

And speaking of Pep Milan

Meanwhile, Silvio Berlusconi Milan if Guardiola dreams. «Guardiola to sign? Let's try it. We know there are several English clubs interested in Guardiola, especially Manchester City, 'says Milan owner and former president of Italy, a character unclassifiable, a priori, it seems hardly Pep style.

The Chelsea, lurking

However, it seems the Chelsea team with more options for Guardiola. Two tests: They just dismiss R Oberto di Matteo and Rafa Benitez contract is only half a year .

Espanyol Pochettino dismisses

The Real Club Deportivo Espanyol has sacked coach Mauricio Pochettino. Even the Argentine, an institution in the Catalan club, has been put up in the office with such dismal results for the parrot club. Espanyol, who just changed president , are bottom and has three straight losses, the final, 0-2 against Getafe.

Pochettino, excited

"I came into a difficult situation in 2009, but all the time we influence save the team, a hobby that took us up, I was left with all the good, as are older dogs, it is normal to poor performance coach who is going out. You have to understand that's football. I want to give a message: show the energy and passion I had when I arrived in 2009, and I have no doubt that we will succeed, including me because I'm back from my little corner, "he said, visibly moved, international former Argentina .

100 percent espanyolista

"I deeply regret leaving the institution and an institution that always feels sad, but I think the team is going to throw up. There are quality, there is a spectacular group of people, we have had negative situations, we have found the fortune necessary. They deserve the players, the club, the fans that this is going much better in the future, "said Pochettino, who already played several years in the set parakeet.

Without clear substitute

"It's time to talk about who will come, not the point now there are several options, but you know which is the one. I think there is a great squad and a great group of people and prepared to achieve their goal, "said club president Joan Collet.

High voltage with Mourinho at Real Madrid

Real Madrid are 11 points behind Barcelona in the league unstoppable steeped in an atmosphere of tension that even despite the strange figure of Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese , one of the world's most successful technical, could be seriously confronted the club and many of their players according to information from newspapers like El País or Ace. That the results are not accompanying exacerbates the situation, as I can see in the press conference before the Real Madrid-Alcoyano cup.

Feeling backed one hundred percent by the club?

This is not a trial, is a press conference prior to a match of Copa Knowing you were going to go in another direction, so I come and Karanka. When are affordable press conferences is my assistant. You want to talk about the game? Encantado. Will not you? Tomorrow

Want someone to speak for you at the club?

I do not want to talk anybody. The club is sovereign, I'm just an employee. Is the club who has to say if you are happy with that line and with what we have. At the end of the season will value and if the club is happy with me. For just the end of the season is the club who is not happy with my work, you think that there are things to improve and change. I say for the avoidance of doubt, I have a personal relationship very, very, very, good with the president, Jose Angel (Sanchez) and other elements closest to the board. It is unbeatable.

Gre-No-Li, the Milan of Swedes

In recent years it has been difficult to connect Sweden with AC Milan thanks to two magnificent seasons Zlatan Ibrahimovic left to remember in San Siro. Moreover, if we think in three foreign stars who left their mark on the immortal Italian club comes quickly to mind the Dutch Milan with Rijkaard, Gullit and Van Basten. But Ibra many years before that historic and Arrigo Sacchi team existed, since the late 40s and during the 50s, a magnificent Milan in which the stars were three Swedish players who made ​​history in the Rossoneri squad , in Calcium and the Sweden: talk about Gunnar Gren, Gunnar Nordahl and Nils Liedholm, the Gre-No-Li.

The first major success of these three players would come in 1948 when Sweden won the Olympic gold in London after beating Yugoslavia. That triumph was not lost in Italy and Milan turned their sights to the Nordic country where these players razed in the Allsvenskan, the local championship. The first to arrive would Nordahl after the victory of London, the great striker of that combined, scorer of the tournament and had won four leagues in the country, four top scorer trophies and scandalous figure of 144 goals in 172 games. One might think that the jump to competitive Serie A would mean a decrease in the numbers Nordahl scorers, but this assumption is in no man's land when we see that the Swedish striker managed in his career in Italy 225 goals in 291 games (210 in 257 with Milan): the second top scorer in the history of the legendary Calcio after Silvio Piola.

Atletico is taken very seriously

At this stage of the course not taken seriously at Atletico Madrid, beyond the. Since then the team itself Diego Pablo Simeone is being taken very seriously himself. Week after week is strengthening its project and the emphatic win over Sevilla FC (4-0) was the last step of the big rally that is taking place since the Cholo took over the team.

Excellent match the Atleti yesterday, grounded in two backbones: placement and intensity, his two great virtues. The way the Atletico players are planted in the field and occupy a large space denotes previous work focused on moving as a block, with all remaining players back and flanks of adjacent peers. To maintain the placement and space closure is indispensable virtue that highlight the second, the intensity. Like eating the opponent, hungry for victory, conceptualize every ball as if it were a matter of life and death: cholismo at its best.

Pochettino says goodbye to Espanyol

After what he got when he came to Espanyol, who washed his face and remained in first . After installing a working philosophy and many would like to flirt more with the upstairs area with the bottom, Mauricio Pochettino never thought I would leave the poor performance by Espanyol. A year ago the club Espanyol announced the contract extension until 2014 of the Argentine. Reached in January 2009 in lifeguard plan, preventing the drowning of an institution in decline in sporting . He believed that he would not fulfill his contract, yes. But the deals that would not become the coach who has managed the worst start in history whitish. He leaves unwittingly forced by bad initially emphasized that yesterday ended with yet another defeat against Getafe at Cornella-El Prat.

In the farewell, the club has sought to convey an elegance that looks long, but a guy like Pochettino deserved. Joan Collet - new president has said that it is a mutual agreement rather than a dismissal. They use the euphemism is used, is the first Argentine Primera technician leaves office early. The truth is that the numbers and send this in this beginning Espanyol draw attention so impoverished. In 13 days has accumulated 8 losses, 3 draws and only two wins. However, the positions of salvation are only two points. And Europe, eleven. It's as if cast to Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid, with the difference that the objective of the parakeets, by budget and staffing, not finishing the league in the top six, which champions itself is obliged to pursue.

Tips for skiing in Spain

Although you think that our country is just a sun and beach destination, also has many of the best ski slopes in Europe where you can enjoy a great winter vacation without leaving our borders.

And is that more and more people who enjoy playing sports such as skiing, a sport that for many years has been associated with the upper classes of society, but today is available to most of the population .

Sierra? Snowfall or Baqueira-Beret?

The two ultimate destinations for skiing in our country are Sierra Nevada, Baqueira-Beret. The first one is located in Andalusia, in the Natural Park of Sierra Nevada, and is the winter further south in Europe. The second is set in the Aran Valley, in the heart of the Pyrenees.

If we choose the first option, it is best to stay in one of the houses in Sierra Nevada and to contemplate the wonderful views from the highest peaks.

As Catalan tracks are considered by many as the best in Spain and is a popular destination for Europeans, who often resort to renting apartments for skiing .

But it all comes down to these two places. In our country we can find important ski resorts in Aragon (Formigal) Madrid (Valdesquí), Cantabria (Alto Campo), La Rioja (Valdezcaray) or Asturias (Valgrande-Pajares), among many others.

Track types depending on our level

Having chosen our destination, it is convenient to know the different types of ski slopes to suit our level.

If you're new and we're starting, there's nothing like the green runs to go learning the basics of the sport. Once you have mastered the technique, we can move to the blue runs to get more experience.

If you already have a medium-high, we can try to slide down the red runs. And if all that is left is small and we are experts, we dare to the slopes.

So this winter do not stay at home. Get out and enjoy the snow in one of these slopes.

Falcao leads a Athletic League launched

Atletico Madrid seems the only rival able to follow the pace of Barcelona in the Spanish league. The whole mattress has destroyed Sevilla (4-0, with goals from Falcao, Spahic own goal, Koke and Miranda) in a new display of power that puts him just three points behind Barca and eight ahead of Real Madrid. Atletico visits the Bernabeu this Saturday.

The match against Sevilla was decided early when a penalty and the subsequent expulsion of Fazio left Sevilla with less and with the score against. In fact, Radamel Falcao beat Palop to get his 50th goal with Atletico. He's been in the league 11.

Almost all victories

"I am excited by what the players have done. We have thirteen games with eleven wins, one draw and one defeat and this is a credit to the players. I'm really very pleased with what they are doing and I hope they can continue to compete well, "said Diego Pablo Simeone after the match.

"We played a good game. Our goal was to win and the first time we were very strong. Sevilla, in part, had no opportunities, "said the coach.

Michel praised Atletico

Michel, Sevilla coach talked about the rival. "Atletico is a rival to the top of the table, not for Europe. As we have seen so far can be a team to fight for first place. Today has been the strength of a big team. He is fighting with Barcelona and Madrid already has at large distances. The difference between the top teams and those who are not is the strength and the punch and Atletico have both. "

Barca already 11 points ahead of Real Madrid

Are almost two-thirds of competition and many points at stake, but before arriving at December Futbol Club Barcelona and 11 points ahead of Real Madrid in the League. A sidereal distance becomes very, very difficult to League Jose Mourinho.

The white team fell, surprisingly, on his visit to Sevilla (1-0 Betis). Although Real Madrid had opportunities to win or at least tie, Ronaldo's goal drought and the rest of the team did not follow.

Then Barca cruised the city of Valencia, where he thrashed Levante willful (0-4, with goals from Messi (2), Iniesta and Fabregas) and other elaborate game lesson, parsimonious and effective.

T ito untrusted

"The league is not doomed, just took third and Atletico have also just three points behind us. There is much to play. Once we were through 11 of Madrid and eventually suffer a lot, "said Vilanova in the press room.

Alves Injury

"The fact of the injury was so Alves played with eleven of the house, seven or eight born in Catalunya. It is to be proud of our staff and those coming from behind, "said Tito.

Foreseeable Party

"The first part was what we had expected, the Levante is comfortable in this situation, closing and exiting with danger, very quickly, but to score the second goal so early in the second half we were very quiet," confessed the Guardiola's successor.

La Masia: eleven points

The FC Barcelona jumped at the chance to put Real Madrid to eleven points and won quite emphatically by 0-4 at Levante UD. With Puyol and Piqué as a pair in the back after all this time, Dani Alves became the only player in the starting lineup has not been formed in La Masia. But the victory was forged with eleven youth players on the field, as Brazilian side after injuring quarter hour, his replacement, Montoya, closed the circle of a landmark: never before had formed the club with a team full of homegrown players.

The release of Jose Ignacio Martinez raised the game as it usually does: 4-2-3-1 that becomes a defensive 4-4-1-1, with lines and outputs together extremely counter as fast as possible. So took the three points the previous day, at the Riazor, where I spot check something I have not stopped saying ever since: a long time since I saw a team swing so well as do granotas (now Atleti's Cholo so does brilliantly, as at the time the double team).

The same symptoms, the same lack of solutions

Real Madrid have again leave void in visiting a stadium where these leagues are lost, the Benito Villamarin a Real Betis who redeemed their defeat in the derby of the last day. Third defeat of defending champions, one more than last in the league, all at home, counting 10 points from a possible 21 away from the Bernabeu.

Indeed, the Madrid could have won the game if they had validated Benzema's goal and the penalty would have called the last moment, or if I had gotten some of the times he had, which there were many (Cristiano, Benzema, Ramos , Pepe, Kaka ...), but lacked accuracy and met Adrian phenomenal in goal. But fiarlo all the punch and individual talent is what we have: as someone having a great night, bad business. Moreover it is clear that we have returned to see the same symptoms and the same lack of solutions.

Corrective Pellegrino Pellegrini

The Valencia debut against Malaga an elastic whose color perfectly defines it passes through La Rosaleda: black. No luck nor once the team Mauricio Pellegrino. As a curiosity , say that the Argentine coach had surnamed like his counterpart last night, Pellegrini, but a clerical error when Valencia's Italian grandfather arrived in Argentina caused both exdefensa father as his own and future generations of Mr. ché contain a typo in his usual appellation. As data, if yesterday had been Pellegrino Pellegrini had been a great joy, as the Chilean violated a tough rival corrective goleándole 4-0 ...

In a match that could be perfectly Champions, Malaga took the roller off the cloud came a Valencia elated after his big game against Bayern Munich . There was no punishment visitor to Barragan, who autoexpulsó before the Bavarians, and left the game. No and yes Guaita played Diego Alves, the keeper of the League of Valencia, and the Brazilian conceded no more and no less than four goals. Unlike what happened in St. Petersburg , where they played the more unusual, yes Malaga got the costume for one morlaco bullfighting was not just received the first of a few in the eighth minute, thanks to the success of Portillo, who caught round shock.

Léo bursts Baptistão

The king is dead, long live the king. El Rayo Vallecano has found Leonardo Baptistão Carrilho (Santos, 1992) Michu the perfect substitute, the ephemeral Asturian star managed to be the last term franjirrojo banner. Today, a boy of just 20, has broken out of the blue at the epicenter of Vallecas to reclaim its prominence dose, only in exchange for attractive insolence. Baptistão already warned of his powers on his debut in First , make about two months. First, an assist. Second, a decisive goal. And for dessert ... the recipe of your talents to Paco Jemez, which is lack of good portfolio quarry.

Against Mallorca (2-0), the Brazilian striker he traced his debut in the top flight, this time alternating the order of the factors without affecting the product. He waited until the 87th minute, when the end raged for a low shot removed and dry, from outside the area, to surprise and overtake Aouate Lightning would take only two minutes, in another stroke of inspiration for his rising star, sign the final result. It was Delibašić, exbermellón, the beneficiary of the move Baptistão, after a highway that left the goal to Montenegrin tray. Vallecas big party sponsored by a player who already has six goals.

Atletico is without Falcao, firm in Europe

Atletico Madrid remains steadfast in Europe already qualified for the 1/16 finals of the Europa League or Europa League after winning comfortably but without brilliance to Hapoel Tel Aviv (1-0, goal by Raul Garcia). Simeone, who dispensed once the star of Atletico, the Tiger Falcao , continues to make history with their winning numbers in his first 50 appearances for the club.

El Cholo Contento

"First of all, today we have taken a step forward, because we are again in sixteenths. There is a minor detail. We understand the responsibility and minute give many guys who do not play very often and you have to give value, because it is they who have placed in us and the situation sixteenths is beneficial for all.

People want to see Falcao

"It is normal that our people always want to see the players you most want, but we are in the place of the coach, who tries to find the best balance for an important season, which we value and so far we are competitive in every tournament we're playing, "Simeone said in reference to the absence of Falcao and other team owners.

Praise for Adrian .... now that is a substitute in League

Adrian Lopez was "Okay. Too bad he missed the goal. He made a very good game. He came out, on the right, the left, topped, shot from the edge of the area ... We're headed near the most important thing, which is the goal, so that he can meet with confidence. "

Shakhtar Donetsk, how can you be so pig?

What made ​​the FC Shakhtar Donetsk FC Nordsjælland only has a name: a cerdada. The sequence of events was as follows: after 26 minutes, the Danes ahead just two minutes before putting the score 1-0, two rivals collide randomly while the Danish team has possession of the ball, the referee for the game to enter attendance and decreed a drop ball to restart play, normal in these cases, the unwritten rule respected by all, is that a player of Shakhtar is the first to touch the ball after the bounce and cede possession to Nordsjælland, since they had control of the ball at the time when the referee stopped the match. That's what should have happened.

But it was not. Luiz Adriano in action ever seen in European football's elite, used the situation to catch the ball, throw to the goal and to the disbelief of all the Danish team, dribble the goalkeeper and put the tie in the marker. Obviously, the players would want to eat Nordsjælland, increpándole by guarrada they just made. He, of course, reacted by becoming the Swede. And this is where what could have been a simple story in an authentic conviertió cerdada.

Rafa Benitez, new Chelsea manager

The Spanish Rafa Benitez, the coach who brought glory to the football club Valencia (two league titles and a UEFA Cup) and Liverpool ( European Cup ) returns to the bench two years after leaving, frustrated, Inter Milan. It will be the new coach of Chelsea until the end of the year.

The London team, champions of Europe, has fired Roberto di Matteo after the beating team striker Fernando Torres and Mata in Turin against Juventus (3-0). The blue team could stay out of the Champions League final.

Benitez delighted

Benitez will be presented shortly, but before officer and showed his joy at the signing. "I'm looking for a club that aspires to win trophies and Chelsea is one of those clubs."

The Madrid qualifies for the Champions League knockout in Manchester

Real Madrid will play the knockout stages of the Champions League after drawing at 1 (goals from Benzema and Aguero) in the area of Manchester City. That if it comes up as runner-up behind the German champions Borussia Dortmund. The Whites, who could sentence in the first half hour, then lowered the level.

That, and a controversial decision by the referee, who awarded a penalty against Madrid Arbeloa and drove in a move the less doubtful, cornered at Madrid, which ended up giving a home draw Millionaire City. The Citizens of Silva, Javi Garcia, Aguero or Tevez, are eliminated.

Mourinho, very angry

"Now this has happened and the referee that is next to the goal, ten yards from the penalty, has also decided that it is. I have to be calm. Still I have a UEFA sanction pending the only gift I want to thank my hundred games, a very nice plate. They have remembered me. Imagine that we who are left out of this group, imagine what we expected, "he said.

The referee, very wrong

"I know him (the referee Rochhi) from Italy when awarded a Inter-Milan derby. We left most of the game with ten and nine of the match with a penalty also nonexistent, "he told television with Champions League rights.

Inaccurate targeting

"We have had several opportunities to score. The match ended 0-2 with City totally controlled. We have not succeeded and then in the second half a penalty and red. It is you who have to say what happened because I'm on the bench, "he said, as always, with angry appearance.

The fluorescent Borussia Dortmund

The first phase of the Champions League news leaves us three good teams as, although not candidates have achieved qualification for the second round with some slack. One is the Malaga , which at its premiere can boast of reaching the final round as the leader of his group, as well as play a game that has nothing to do with the racanería or boredom. Quite the contrary. Another group that has done a fine job, although reprehensible behavior is Shakhtar Donetsk, who will fight with Juventus for first place in a group in which the great victim may be the reigning champions Chelsea in trouble one that not depend on himself to win the title. Finally, in Group of Death, Borussia Dortmund is back on track in the Old Continent to play football a few months ago made ​​him Bundesliga champions. The Germans have not lost a game despite having the likes of Manchester City or Real Madrid and is postulated as the main threat to the hegemony usual.

The Madrid of the two faces

The Real Madrid solved his visit to Etihad Stadium with a 1-1 draw which classifies mathematically to Jose Mourinho for the knockout stages of the Champions League, but will have to be classified as second. The first place is already booked, and deservedly, for a superlative Borussia Dortmund crushed Ajax 1-4. The Dutch team will have to fight on the final day of the third place that gives a ticket to the Europa League. A consolation prize for the fight also a disappointing Manchester City, who finds it hard to realize that all the millions invested are wasted on the bench as Roberto Mancini follow.

Focusing on the match between City and Real, it is noteworthy that one more time and you will more this season-we returned to Madrid to see the two sides: while in the first half gave its best and could rout the premises In the second lost control and were about to leave empty handed Manchester.

Mexès emulates the goal by Ibrahimovic

"I'm not Ibra!" He declared after his goal at Anderlecht, Phillipe Mexes. It is unusual to see a central defender score a mackerel as the Milan player signed from outside the area: for a moment recalled the target Zlatan fabulous few days ago against England . The action of the defender, as acknowledged, had some filly: "Fortunately I tried and it worked, but I have to admit I had a bit of luck." Mexes speaks of fortune but made not believe we could say that its much like a rehearsed play: Montolivo boot-kick destined for the area that your partner controls with his chest, he steps forward and rounded with a shot of pure a striker than a defender. Phillipe, who shared a dressing room with him last season, said that "Ibra is a phenomenon." He even says it's a fluke, is author of one of the best in the Champions League.

The Málaga reaches its zenith in Champions

A lack of time for completion of the group stage of the Champions League, the Costa del Sol can boast his team and not only qualified for the knockout stages, whose pass certified a couple of weeks , but him as top of Group C, which is framed with Milan-second-, and third and Zenit-off this year-and Anderlecht-quarter and likely to snatch the Russians a place in the Europa League. Manuel Pellegrini's team is still one of the best football they have practiced in a tournament in which debuted, and will be presented in the next phase with the same audacity that has faced the first.

In the cold St. Petersburg, a classification and Malaga in his pocket, took the license to play with some of the regular members of the bench. They had minutes, and could claim their place at the men-white schemes or Seba Fernández Buonanotte, authors, both of the two goals that won the squad Malacitana always complicated scenario in Russian. Zenit, a set designed for more and that follows the trail of Manchester City - money is not everything - and has failed to reach the last date with opportunities to be among the best. Certainly not in the Champions League has shown, and therefore does not deserve that place.

Andres Iniesta, the water dancer

Silent as a shadow. Light as a feather. Quick as a snake. Silky smooth summer. Quiet and calm waters. Swift as a deer. Slippery as an eel.

Teachings Syrio Forel to Arya Stark in Game of Thrones

Andres Iniesta is in a higher dimension, far above what we could define as "mortal players." At Fuentealbilla genius and can not be explained with three or four adjectives, no, no. Don Andrés forces us to dedicate an entire talk to at least make it justice approach. It increase its behalf in any bar in Spain and then mounts a roundtable about her figure, so surely what he did last night at the Luzhniki Olympic was talk of thousands of coffee this morning.

Fabregas gets the ball stuck to the sidelines and the height of the left corner of the penalty area, it is the first (and the referee) with the lash of Laudrup, puts down the second with a touch as simple as appropriate , to keep the ball out for bottom line, steps on doing a 180 º for not losing face to the field and back stepping to depart from the entrance at ground level of the same illusory; threatens to move inward and ends a dribble backwards to avoid that, without him, knows he returns to attack from behind, to finally get the ball played towards Alba.

The champion seemed Juventus

The first stone of the Juventus Stadium was designed to nights like this. After regaining Italian hegemony few months ago, a European giant like Juventus needed relive that feeling of big European events against the best teams in the Old Continent, and now received no less than the reigning European champions, although the only thing that led to Turin Chelsea won the title last season was the memory of that encounter at the Allianz Arena. Juventus have won the game and taken a giant step towards the second round, and made ​​it 3-0 in addition to being clearly superior opponent who showed a very poor image, unworthy of a team defending the title of best team in Europe .

The match began with a surprise for each side in the starting lineup: at Juventus Giovinco was substitute, regular starter in the attack that left Vucinic and Quagliarella hands while Chelsea jumped into the field without the presence of Torres and striker born, leaving the responsibility offensive boots Mata, Hazard and Oscar, however, would have little chance of cracks three Londoners to shine in a team that barely reach the counter area with danger. Right from the start would be the intentions of both teams: bianconero all wanted the ball, while Chelsea expect their chance on the break.

The Barcelona gets into Round of Champions

FC Barcelona has achieved a pass in Moscow as group in the Champions League after winning easily at Spartak Moscow (0-3, two goals from Messi and one of Dani Alves). Neither the cold nor the artificial turf and approach daring team coached by Unai Emery stopped Barca, already expected to knockout rival. He debuted in Europe last pearl Barca, Gerard Deulofeu.

Messi, warned in Glasgow

"We knew we had to come out strong from the start. We could not repeat what the Celtic and less now with the opponent and the playing field. " "Obviously the defense also was strengthened and we all like that we did not convert. Out with the bow to zero is important for all. Although the most important thing is to be won, we control the ball, and unlike our possession. That was what we had to do today and we did, "the Argentine told Canal Plus.

Vilanova: "We have come to win"

"Knowing that the tie we have come to value winning. It is more merit than demerit our own. It was very important to qualify today and not have to wait for the last game ever anything can happen in a game. We'll see if we need to win at home to get the first place "said Tito Vilanova, Barcelona coach.

"I have much respect for Spartak, with hour, cold, artificial grass ... I went back to watch the game from Camp Nou and played very well. I think we should give credit to our players want to have the ball and attack, "said Tito.
